Section 1.02. Leased Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord, under the terms and conditions herein, the Leased Premises, together with the nonexclusive right to use all common areas, if any, located from time to time in the Park. This Lease creates a usufruct not subject to levy and sale and no estate in or with respect to the Leased Premises or any portion thereof is granted or conveyed hereby.

Section 1.03. Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Landlord shall cause the Leased Premises to be withdrawn from the coverage of those certain Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions recorded in Deed Book 50W, Page 775, Jackson County, Georgia real estate records ("CCR's") within three (3) business days after the execution of this Lease Agreement.

ARTICLE 2 - TERM AND POSSESSION

Section 2.01. Term. The Lease Tenn shall be for the period of time and shall commence on the Commencement Date described in the Basic Lease Provisions. Upon receipt of request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute the Commencement Date Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit "C", acknowledging, among other matters, (i) the Commencement Date of this Lease, (ii) the Expiration Date of this Lease, and (iii) that Tenant has accepted the Leased Premises as of the Commencement Date.

Section 2.02. Construction of Leased Premises. (a) Landlord agrees to obtain all necessary permits and approvals for construction, and to construct the Leased Premises in accordance with the scope of work, and Tenant's Request For Proposals, General Specifications, Outline Specifications and Typical Drawings attached in Exhibit "B" (the "Scope of Work") and plans and construction contract approved by Tenant. Once approved by the parties, such plans shall be referred to herein as the "Approved Plans." The Approved Plans shall be attached or referenced in Exhibit "B-2" attached hereto and incorporated herein. The work set forth on the Scope of Work and Approved Plans may sometimes be referred to herein as "Landlord's Work." Landlord shall deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant upon Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work. Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all areas of the warehouse other than the mezzanine and premises beneath the mezzanine by May, 7, 2010, the mezzanine area by June 8, 2010, the office and retail space by July 22, 2010 (each such date being herein referred to as an "Interim Construction Date"), and the remainder of the Leased Premises to Tenant on or before August 1, 2010 (the final delivery of all of the Leased Premises being referred to as the "Delivery Date"). Subject to any delay caused by, through or under Tenant and any delays caused by or arising out of the matters or items described under Section 8.01 and 16.03 of this Lease (collectively, a "Delay"), and predicated on adherence by Tenant to the schedule set forth on Exhibit "H", attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, if Landlord does not deliver the portions of the Leased Premises described above by the applicable Interim Construction Date, and Landlord does not cure such

failure within ten (10) days after the applicable Interim Construction Date specified for the portion of the Leased Premises set forth above, or if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant on or before August 1, 2010, Tenant shall receive (2) days of free Base Rent for each day after the applicable Interim Construction Date or Delivery Date (as any such date is extended by any days of Delay), until the applicable portion of the Leased Premises (or all of the Leased Premises, as applicable) are so delivered by Landlord. For example, if Landlord does not deliver the mezzanine area to Tenant until June 15, 2010, then there shall be no additional free Base Rent granted, but if Landlord does not deliver the mezzanine area to Tenant until June 20, 2010, then Tenant shall be entitled to an additional twenty-four (24) days of free Base Rent.

(b) Subject to any Delay, and predicated on adherence by Tenant to the schedule set forth on Exhibit "H'', if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant Substantially Completed on or before September 1, 2010 (as such date is extended by any days of Delay), Tenant may elect to cancel and terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter, unless Landlord, within said ten (10) day period, so delivers such Leased Premises to Tenant. If Tenant gives such notice and Landlord does not deliver the Leased Premises within ten (10) days thereafter, this Lease shall be canceled and terminated, and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations to the other, excepting only those obligations which have accrued prior to or which expressly survive termination of this Lease. If Tenant does not timely give such notice, Tenant's right to cancel and terminate this Lease shall expire and the Lease Term shall commence upon the delivery of possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant. Landlord and Tenant agree, at the time the Leased Premises are delivered to Tenant, to execute the Commencement Date Certificate referenced in Section 2.01 above setting forth the date the Leased Premises are actually delivered to Tenant. In the event of any dispute concerning work performed or required to be performed in the Premises by Landlord, the matter in dispute shall be submitted to Landlord's architect for determination and his certificate with respect thereto shall be conclusively binding on Landlord and Tenant.

(c) Landlord has determined that the construction of interior areas of the Building as set forth in the Scope of Work shown on Exhibit "B" and Approved Plans shall be $5,069,000.00 (the "Cost of Interior Construction"). The Cost of Interior Construction is to be utilized for the "hard" costs of construction, and shall not include the overhead or any profit for Landlord, overtime costs and expenses of the contractor, site conditions, or the design costs and engineering fees and permit fees. If Tenant makes or requests: (i) changes in the Scope of the Work; (ii) consent to any Approved Plans which reflect differences from the Scope of the Work; or (iii) changes in the work being done under such Approved Plans after approval of the Approval Plans, any of which increase the Cost of Interior Construction or which would delay Substantial Completion, then any such requests or matters shall be subject to Landlord's prior consent, such consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and, in any event, all increased Costs of interior Construction associated with such changes shall be paid for by Tenant, prior to such changes being incorporated or effectuated. The cost of certain of the work Landlord is performing, as shown on Exhibit "B-1", by this reference incorporated herein, is not being funded from the Cost of Interior Construction, and is being done at Landlord's cost and expense prior to the Commencement Date. If the foregoing is completed for a cost which is less than the Cost of Interior Construction, any remaining sums shall be applied to reduce the next-ensuing installments of Base Rent.

(d) Tenant shall have the right of early occupancy of warehouse, mezzanine, office and retail areas of the Leased Premises, subject to (a) full execution of this Lease, (b) Landlord's receipt of the initial monthly installment of Base Rent, (c) Landlord's and Tenant's receipt of any necessary governmental permits, approvals, or consents, and (d) all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, with the exception of the payment of Rent. Such early occupancy shall be for the sole purpose of preparing the

Leased Premises for Tenant's use, including the installation of equipment and racking, and storage of Tenant's products. During such period, Tenant shall assume all risk of loss to Tenant's equipment, products, and other personal property. Tenant's occupancy during this period shall not interfere with construction of Landlord's Work by Landlord's contractor, and Tenant shall coordinate its preparation activities with Landlord's contractor to minimize any such interference.

(e) At the time Tenant takes possession of each of the areas of the Leased Premises for the operation of Tenant's business, the parties shall draw up a list of minor finishing operations which do not materially interfere with Tenant's operations ("Punch List Items"). All Punch List Items shall be completed within thirty (30) days of "Substantial Completion", or as soon thereafter as reasonably practical.

(f) For the purposes of this Lease, Substantial Completion shall mean the completion of all elements of the Leased Premises, in substantial compliance with the Scope of Work and Approved Plans, as evidenced by an architect's certificate of substantial completion, and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, temporary or otherwise, permitting the lawful entry into and occupancy of the Leased Premises.

Section 2.03. Surrender of the Leased Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition and in good condition and repair, subject to reasonable wear and tear. Prior to the expiration of the Lease Term or within ten (10) days following the earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall also remove its personal property and trade fixtures, promptly repair any damage caused by such removal, and restore the Leased Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of such items. At the time that Tenant surrenders the Leased Premises to Landlord, all systems serving the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, shall be in good working order, subject to reasonable wear and tear. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's racking will be anchored to the concrete slab of the Building and that, upon Tenant vacating the Leased Premises, these anchors will be cut flush with the slab and neither removed nor filled. If Tenant fails to perform any of the obligations set forth in this Section 2.03, Landlord may cause all of said property to be removed and restore the Leased Premises to its required condition and Tenant hereby agrees to pay all the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith immediately upon demand therefor. All Tenant property which is not removed within ten (10) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Tenn shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such property at Tenant's cost without thereby incurring any liability to Tenant. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

Section 2.04. Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month at one hundred twenty five (125%) percent of the monthly Base Rent in effect at the end of the then applicable Lease Term for the first three (3) months of any such holdover, and then one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Base Rent in effect at the end of the then applicable Lease Term, thereafter, and otherwise upon the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable. Acceptance by Landlord of rent in such event shall not result in a renewal of this Lease, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord upon Tenant being given thirty (30) days' prior written notice from Landlord to vacate whether or not said notice is given on the rent paying date. This Section 2.04 shall in no way constitute the consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, nor limit Landlord's remedies in such event.

Section 2.05 Option(s) to Extend Lease Term. (a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant three (3) options (the "Options") to extend the Lease Term for additional term(s) of either ten (10) years or twenty (20) years (the "Extension(s)"), on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, but at an increased Base Rent as set forth below and without any additional Option(s) other than those granted in this Section 2.05, and except that the obligations of Landlord set forth in Section 7.02 of this Lease shall not be applicable and shall not be in force for any Extensions. Each Option shall be exercised only by written notice delivered to Landlord not less than three hundred sixty five (365) days before the expiration of the initial Lease Term or the preceding Extension of the Lease Term, respectively, which notice shall also state the duration of the subject Extension. If Tenant fails to deliver Landlord written notice of the exercise of an Option within the prescribed time period, such Option and any succeeding Options shall lapse, and there shall be no further right to extend the Lease Term. Each Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express conditions that at the time of the exercise, and at all times thereafter and prior to the commencement of such Extension, Tenant shall not be in default under any of the provisions of this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure periods. Following Tenant's timely and valid exercise of an Option, Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment to this Lease confirming the term of the Extension and the amount of Base Rent payable by Tenant during such Extension. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant's exercise of the Option(s) granted in this Section 2.05.

(b) The Base Rent during each of any first, second and third Extension shall be ninety five (95%) percent of the fair rental value of the Leased Premises on the date that Tenant shall exercise such option. For the purposes of such calculation, the term "fair rental value" shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay, as of the applicable expiration date, as a monthly Base Rent to a ready and willing landlord of property comparable to the Lease Premises if such property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time and taking into account all of the purposes for which such property may be used, and that the Landlord shall have no further obligations under Section 7.02 of this Lease. The Base Rent for each of these Extensions shall increase by seven & one-half (7.5%) percent on each of the fifth and, if applicable, tenth and fifteenth anniversaries of the Commencement Date of such Extension. In the event that Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the fair rental value within sixty (60) days of Tenant's exercise of the subject option, the fair rental value shall be determined by an arbitration, using a broker (as provided below.)

(c) (i) If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon the fair rental value of the Leased Premises within the prescribed time period, then not later than ten (10) days thereafter, each party shall appoint a broker qualified under the terms of this Lease and notify the other party of such appointment, identifying the appointee. Each party hereto agrees to select as its respective appointee a licensed real estate broker, who is an individual of substantial experience with respect to industrial building ownership, management and marketing in the Jackson County, Georgia industrial market, which person shall have at least five (5) years experience in sales and leasing of industrial real property and who shall not be regularly employed or have been retained during the last two (2) years as a broker by the party selecting such person. Neither party may consult directly or indirectly with any broker regarding the fair rental value prior to appointment, or after appointment, outside the presence of the other party. The arbitration shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, under the provisions of the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association and the applicable Laws of the State of Georgia governing the arbitrator.

(2) Not later than ten (10) days after both brokers are appointed, each party shall separately, but simultaneously, submit in a sealed envelope to each broker their separate suggested fair rental value and shall provide a copy of such submission to the other party. After reviewing such

submissions, the two (2) selected brokers shall determine whether Landlord's or Tenant's estimate of the fair rental value is closer to the actual fair rental value for the Premises. If both brokers agree that one of said declared estimates is closer to the actual fair rental value, they shall declare that estimate to be the fair rental value, and their decision shall be final and binding upon the parties.

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

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

Section 2.06 Expansion Option. (a) At all times during the Lease Term, so long as no Default on the part of Tenant then exists, Tenant shall have the option to construct a maximum of an additional 150,000 square foot expansion to the Leased Premises (the "Expansion Space".) The Expansion Space shall be located at a location as reasonably required by Tenant and otherwise complying with all applicable municipal requirements. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord preliminary plans and specifications for the Expansion Space together with Tenant's notice of the exercise of the Expansion Option. In the event that the Expansion Space shall be a free-standing building, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide a bid to construct same. In the event that the Expansion Space shall be attached to the Building, Landlord shall be obligated to issue a proposal to construct same at a bid price which shall be competitive to other similar institutional quality industrial construction projects in the Jackson County, Georgia area, with such proposal to include a lease term and the costs to provide the Expansion Space as requested by Tenant. Tenant, at its option, may accept Landlord's bid or contract with a third party to construct the Expansion Space. In the event that Tenant accepts Landlord's bid, the Lease shall be amended to reflect all relevant and appropriate terms and conditions prior to any work on the Expansion Space being performed or commenced, and the Lease Term for all of the Leased Premises shall be extended so that it expires ten (10) years after the date Base Rent is first due for the Expansion Space (which shall have the same ten (10) year Lease Term). The Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall reflect current market conditions, and the Lease amendment shall reflect such other relevant terms and conditions as are specified in Landlord's proposal and agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant. This extension associated with Expansion Space shall not be one of the Extensions provided to Tenant under Section 2.05, and Base Rent due from Tenant for the Leased Premises leased originally hereunder shall increase by two percent (2%) per annum for the period that the Lease Term is extended under this Section 2.06, on each anniversary of the Commencement Date. In the event that Landlord does not construct the Expansion Space and expends no funds in connection with the Expansion Space, no additional Base Rent shall be due Landlord as a consequence of such construction.

(b) The Expansion Option shall be exercised only by written notice delivered to Landlord. The Expansion Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express conditions that at the time of the exercise, Tenant shall not be in default under any of the provisions of this Lease beyond the

expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure periods. If Landlord is performing the work necessary to complete the Expansion Space, following Substantial Completion and delivery of the Expansion Space to Tenant, Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment to this Lease confirming any new terms and conditions of this Lease.

(c) If Tenant does not elect to use Landlord for the construction of the Expansion Space, then (i) any such Expansion Space shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances and codes; (ii) Landlord shall have no repair, up-keep or maintenance obligations whatsoever with respect to such Expansion Space; and (iii) such Expansion Space shall be subject to Landlord's consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed, as to the following matters: (1) both the initial plans and specifications for the Expansion Space, and the final construction drawings for the Expansion Space (solely for the purpose of Landlord confirming compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and codes and the structural elements of the proposed Expansion Space, but expressly excluding rights to comment upon or deny consent for aesthetic or design issues or elements); (2) if the Expansion Space is to connect to the Leased Premises, the structural plans for the Leased Premises after such connection (and in connection therewith, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an opinion from a structural engineer that there shall be no impairment of the structure of the Leased Premises by virtue of or in connection with the connection with the Expansion Space). All work on the Expansion Space shall be completed on a lien free basis, in substantial accordance with the plans, specifications and drawings submitted to and consented to by Landlord.

ARTICLE 3 - RENT

Section 3.01. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent as set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, in advance, without demand, deduction or offset, beginning on the Commencement Date and on or before the first day of each and every calendar month thereafter during the Lease Term. The monthly installment of Base Rent for any partial calendar months shall be prorated based upon the number of days in such calendar month.

Section 3.02. Additional Rent. In addition to the Base Rent due hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each calendar year during the Lease Term, as "Additional Rent": Tenant's Proportionate Share of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord during the Lease Term for Real Estate Taxes (as herein defined).

"Real Estate Taxes" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment or service payments in lieu thereof, and any license fee, commercial rental tax, improvement bond or other similar charge or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the Leased Premises (or against Landlord's business of leasing the Building) by any authority having the power to so charge or tax, together with costs and expenses of contesting the validity or amount of Real Estate Taxes which at Landlord's option may be calculated as if such contesting work had been performed on a contingent fee basis (whether charged by Landlord's counsel or representative; provided, however, that said fees are reasonably comparable to the fees charged for similar services by others not affiliated with Landlord, but in no event shall fees exceed twenty (20%) of the good faith estimated tax savings). Additionally, Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property of Tenant contained in the Leased Premises. Real Estate Taxes shall not include any late charges or penalties charged to Landlord for the late payment of any installment of Real Estate Taxes, unless the late payment results from the default beyond any cure periods by Tenant in its obligation to pay Additional Rent hereunder.

Section 3.03. Payment of Additional Rent. Landlord shall estimate the total amount of Additional Rent to be paid by Tenant during each calendar year of the Lease Term, prorated for any partial years. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month, at the same time the Base Rent is due, in advance, without demand, deduction or offset, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated Additional Rent for such year. Within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement of the actual amount of such Additional Rent and within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, Tenant shall pay any deficiency between the actual amount owed and the estimates paid during such calendar year. In the event of overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next installments of Base Rent.

Section 3.04. Late Charges; Late Fee; Service Charges. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall incur certain additional unanticipated administrative and legal costs and expenses if Tenant fails to timely pay any payment required hereunder. Therefore, in addition to the other remedies available to Landlord hereunder, if any payment required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall become overdue, a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the installment shall be assessed; provided that in no event may any late charge and/or interest provided in this Section 3.04 exceed the maximum permitted by law or be imposed prior to the date permitted by law. In the event any check, draft, money order or other instrument by which Tenant attempts to pay Rent hereunder is returned for insufficient funds or for any other reason is dishonored, Tenant shall pay Landlord a service charge equal to the service charge payable by Landlord to the bank in which it has its checking account.

Section 3.05. Cooperation by Landlord. Landlord hereby covenants and agrees to cooperate with and support on a reasonable basis any efforts by Tenant to obtain inducements or real estate ad valorem tax abatements from Jackson County, Georgia or the State of Georgia, and in obtaining signage rights or privileges with respect to the Leased Premises and Building, at no cost or out-of-pocket expense to Landlord, and Landlord shall have no obligation to agree to accept any additional liabilities in connection therewith or as a part thereof

ARTICLE 4 – SECURITY DEPOSIT

ARTICLE 5 - USE

(i) Liability insurance in the Commercial General Liability form (or reasonable equivalent thereto) covering the Leased Premises and Tenant's use thereof against claims for bodily injury or death, property damage and product liability occurring upon, in or about the Leased Premises, such insurance to be written on an occurrence basis (not a claims made basis), to have per occurrence limits amounts not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) and to have general aggregate limits of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for each policy year.

(B) insurance on the "All-Risk" or equivalent form against abatement or loss of rental by reason of the occurrences covered by the insurance described in clause (A) above, during the entire period of rebuilding, after a casualty;

Tenant shall have the right to increase the deductible amounts under the policies of insurance required by Sections 9.01(a)(ii)(A), subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Each and every such policy:

(i) (other than the coverage described in Section 9.01(a)(iii)) shall name Landlord as well as any lender to Landlord, as an additional insured. In addition, the coverage described in Section 9.01(a)(ii)(A) and (B) shall also name Landlord as "loss payee";

(ii) shall be delivered to Landlord, and in any year after the first year of the

Lease Term, in the foul' of an insurance certificate reasonably acceptable to Landlord as evidence of such

policy, prior to delivery of possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant and thereafter within five (5) business days prior to the expiration of each such policy, and, as often as any such policy shall expire or terminate. Renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like extent (with a copy of the declarations page of the policy delivered the first time such policy is provided, and with a certificate of insurance with respect to that policy, thereafter);

(iii) shall contain a provision that the insurer will give to Landlord and any lender to Landlord at least thirty (30) days notice in writing in advance of any material change, cancellation, termination or lapse, or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance; and

(iv) shall be written as a primary policy which does not contribute to and is not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry,

(d) Landlord may, at any time, but not more than (1) time in any twenty-four (24) month period, require a review of insurance coverage and limits of liability set forth in Section 9.01 to determine whether the coverage and the limits are reasonable and adequate in the then existing circumstances.

(e) Tenant shall have the right, at any time, by a written notice to Landlord, to require Landlord to maintain liability insurance in a Commercial General Liability form (or reasonable equivalent thereto) covering the Leased Premises thereof against claims for bodily injury or death, property damage and product liability occurring upon, in or about the Leased Premises, such insurance to be written on an occurrence basis (not a claims made basis), to have per occurrence limits amounts not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and to have general aggregate limits of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) for each policy year, such policy naming Landlord as the insured party and Tenant as an additional insured. Landlord shall procure such policy within ten (10) business days after such written notice from Tenant, and will, within such period, provide evidence to Tenant of the procurement of such policy. Tenant shall and hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord all of Landlord's cost to procure and maintain such policy, such payment to be made by Tenant within ten (10) business days after evidence of the cost of such policy is provided in writing to Tenant.

Section 9.02. Waiver of Subrogation. Each policy of property insurance required by this Lease shall contain an endorsement in which the insurance company waives any right of subrogation that it may acquire against Landlord or Tenant by virtue of payment of any loss under such policy. In addition, Landlord and Tenant each waives any claims it may have against the other arising out of any casualty that would be covered by the policy of property insurance required to be maintained by it under this Lease, or that actually is covered by any policy of property insurance maintained by such party, without giving effect to any deductible amounts or self-insured risks. Said absence of liability shall exist whether or not the damage or destruction is caused by the negligence of either Landlord or Tenant or by any of their respective agents, servants or employees. It is the intention and agreement of Landlord and Tenant that the rentals reserved by this Lease have been fixed in contemplation that each party shall fully provide its own casualty insurance protection at his own expense, and that each party shall look to its respective casualty insurance carriers for reimbursement of any such loss, and further, that the insurance carriers involved shall not be entitled to subrogation under any circumstances against any party to this Lease.

Section 9.03. Indemnity. Tenant shall and does hereby indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord harmless from claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) in connection with loss of life, bodily or personal injury or property damage: (i) arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon, at or from the Leased Premises; (ii) arising from the occupancy or use by Tenant of the Leased Premises; (iii) caused by any act or omission by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or concessionaires; (iv) resulting from a breach of this Lease by Tenant; or (v) the deductible component of any insured claims under Section 9.01. Landlord shall and does hereby indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel acceptable to Tenant) and hold Tenant harmless from claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) in connection with loss of life, bodily or personal injury or property damage: (i) arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon, at or from the any area of the Park not within Tenant's control; (ii) arising from the any work undertaken by Landlord at or with regard to the Leased Premises; (iii) caused by any act or omission by Landlord, its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or concessionaires; or (iv) resulting from a breach of this Lease by Landlord. For purposes of receiving the benefit of indemnification under this Section 9.03, the term "Landlord" shall include its partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers, directors and employees, as applicable, as well as the POA and any person or entity with which Landlord contracts to manage the Park, and the term "Tenant" shall include its corporate parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, officers, directors and employees, as applicable,. The indemnification obligations under this Section 9.03 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term with respect to any occurrences before the effective date of such expiration or termination.

All damages awarded shall belong to Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant may claim dislocation damages if such amount is not subtracted from Landlord's award.

ARTICLE 11 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE

Section 11.01. Assignment and Sublet Limitations. Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises in whole or in part without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except to a "Related Party" as set forth in Section 11.02. In any assignment or subletting, Tenant (and any Guarantor) shall remain primarily liable hereunder, and any extension, expansion, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal or other options granted to Tenant under this Lease shall be rendered void and of no further force or effect. The acceptance of Rent from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or to be the consent to the assignment of this Lease or the subletting of the Leased Premises. Without in any way limiting Landlord's right to refuse to consent to any assignment or subletting of this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to refuse to give such consent if in Landlord's opinion (i) the Leased Premises are or may be in any way adversely affected; or (ii) the business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant is unacceptable. If Tenant sublets the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or assigns this Lease and at any time receives rent and/or other consideration which exceeds that which Tenant would at that time be obligated to pay to Landlord, Tenant shall have to right the right to retain the gross excess of such rent as such rent is received by Tenant. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for

reasonable accounting and attorneys' fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested assignment, subletting or any other hypothecation of this Lease or Tenant's interest in and to the Leased Premises.

Section 11.02. Related Parties. Tenant shall have the right to assign the Lease or sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without Landlord's consent, but subject to Landlord's rights to notice contained herein, to any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or controlled corporation or to corporation which Tenant may be converted or with which Tenant may merge (collectively, a "Related Party). In the event of an assignment, the name Tenant hereunder shall thereafter have no further liability under this Lease. Tenant shall in any event have the obligation to notify Landlord of its intent to enter into any such arrangement.

ARTICLE 12 – TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD

There is currently no deed to secure debt, mortgage or like instrument encumbering the Leased Premises. Provided that the affected lender executes and delivers to Tenant the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement ("SNDA") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "F", this Lease shall be and hereby is made subject and subordinate at all times to the lien or security title of any mortgage granted by Landlord which may now or hereafter affect the real property of which the Premises forms a part, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, participations, replacements and extensions thereof. In the event of a sale or transfer of such interest (except a mortgage or other transfer as security for a debt), the "Landlord" named herein, or in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferor shall, after the date of such transfer, be automatically released from all liability for the performance or observance of any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed or observed by Landlord hereunder, and the transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of such terms, conditions, covenants and obligations. Within ten (10) days following receipt of a written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, without cost, any instrument which Landlord deems necessary or desirable to confirm the subordination of this Lease and an estoppel certificate in such form as Landlord may reasonably request certifying (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified or stating the nature of any modification, (ii) the date to which Rent has been paid, (iii) that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) any other matters or state of facts reasonably required respecting the Lease. Such estoppel may be relied upon by Landlord and by any purchaser or mortgagee of the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the mortgagee shall take title to the Leased Premises through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant shall be allowed to continue in possession of the Leased Premises as provided for in this Lease and the SNDA so long as Tenant shall not be in default.

ARTICLE 13 - DEFAULT AND REMEDY

(c) Tenant shall assign or sublet all or a portion of the Leased Premises in contravention of the provisions of Article 11 of this Lease.

(e) Tenant deserts or abandons the Leased Premises.

Section 13.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Default, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those allowed by law or in equity, any one or more of which may be exercised without further notice to Tenant:

(a) Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises and cure any default of Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for any costs and expenses which Landlord thereby incurs; and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage which Tenant may sustain by reason of Landlord's action.

(b) Landlord may terminate this Lease or, without terminating this Lease, terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Leased Premises as of the date of such Default, and thereafter (i) neither Tenant nor any person claiming under or through Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord; and (ii) Landlord may re-enter the Leased Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other occupants of the Leased Premises by any lawful means and may remove their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have. Upon the termination of this Lease, Landlord may declare the present value (discounted at the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal or a successor publication plus three (3%) percent) of all Rent which would have been due under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term to be immediately due and payable, less the fair market value rental of the Leased Premises. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord's actual damages in the event of a default by Tenant under this Lease will be difficult to ascertain, and that the liquidated damages provided above represent the parties' best estimate of such damages. The parties expressly acknowledge that the foregoing liquidated damages are intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages, as permitted by Section 13-6-7 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with preparing the Leased Premises for re-letting, demolition, repairs, tenant finish improvements, brokers' commissions and attorneys' fees. The parties agree that the liabilities and remedies specified in this subsection (b) shall survive the termination of this Lease.

(c) Landlord may, without terminating this Lease, re-enter the Leased Premises and re-let all or any part thereof for a term different from that which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Teiin and for rent and on terms and conditions different from those contained herein, whereupon

Tenant shall be immediately obligated to pay to Landlord as liquidated damages the difference between the rent provided for herein and that provided for in any lease covering a subsequent re-letting of the Leased Premises, for the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term.

(d) Landlord may sue for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any direct, and not consequential, loss resulting from the Default.

Section 13.03. Landlord's Default and Tenant's Remedies. If Landlord fails to maintain any portion of the Demised Premises which Landlord is expressly required to maintain in accordance with the terms of this Lease (expressly excluding any failure by Landlord to so maintain arising out of a casualty or condemnation, to which this provision shall not apply, and which are provided for in other provisions of the Lease), and (i) as a result of such failure, Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises is interfered with in a material manner, and (ii) Landlord fails to commence to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant of such failure (specifying in such notice the nature of the failure and the suggested remedy therefore), and thereafter proceeds with due diligence to cure such failure until completion, then Tenant shall have the right to perform such maintenance work on and subject to the terms and limitations of this Paragraph. If Tenant is entitled and elects to perform any maintenance work as aforesaid, Tenant shall (i) perform such maintenance work in a reasonable manner, so as not to interfere with the rights of third parties; (ii) utilize only contractors or other such vendors with a first-class reputation; (iii) cause such work to be completed on a lien-free basis; (iv) cause such work to be completed in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinance, regulations and rules; and (v) utilize the same or similar materials as replaced. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of copies of the invoices or other written evidence, satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, of the costs incurred by Tenant for which Tenant claims reimbursement for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in curing Landlord's default as aforesaid.

If (i) Tenant obtains a final unappealable judgment against Landlord on account of any breach by Landlord of any covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord under this Lease, and (ii) Landlord does not pay the amount due Tenant under such final unappealable judgment within the time provided for payment of such judgment or court order, Tenant may, at its option, offset such amount due Tenant, together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Lease for late payments of Rent, against its monthly payment of Base Rent payable under this Lease to the extent of such amount due, until Tenant is reimbursed for said costs on the basis of said judgment. Tenant shall also have the right to seek and pursue any other legal and/or equitable remedies or relief, including without limitation, specific performance, injunctive relief, actions for damages, and/or declaratory judgment actions, as are available under applicable Georgia law from time to time.

Section 13.04. Nonwaiver of Defaults. Neither party's failure or delay in exercising any of its rights or remedies or other provisions of this Lease shall constitute a waiver thereof or affect its right thereafter to exercise or enforce such right or remedy or other provision. No waiver of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other default. Landlord's receipt of less than the full Rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant's check or any letter accompanying Tenant's check be deemed an accord and satisfaction. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the Lease Tenn shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Leased Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law (unless expressly stated herein to the contrary).

Section 13.05. Attorneys' Fees. If either party defaults in the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or obligations contained in this Lease and the non-defaulting party obtains a judgment against the defaulting party, then the defaulting party agrees to reimburse the non-defaulting party for reasonable and actual attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 16 - RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

FOR LEASED PREMISES AND COUSINS PARCEL

16.01 Refusal Right. (a) If Landlord has offered the Leased Premises for sale to any third party, and Landlord has received a bona-fide written offer provided on an arms-length basis from a third-party unrelated to and affiliated with Landlord which Landlord is willing to accept (as applicable, the "BFP Offer") for either, then Landlord shall offer to sell the Leased Premises to Tenant for the specific purchase price (the "Refusal Purchase Price") and, upon such terms and conditions as are contained in the BFP Offer, indicating in such BFP Offer the party offering to purchase the Leased Premises. This right of Tenant shall be no longer of any force or effect if Tenant, once offered, declines or fails to purchase the Leased Premises unless Landlord does not consummate the sale of the Leased Premises within nine (9) months of the date of the BFP Offer in question.

(b) Tenant shall have the right to accept the BFP Offer (the "Refusal Right") by giving Landlord written notice of such acceptance (the "Refusal Notice") within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the BFP Offer, and by providing Landlord, with such notice, the amount of earnest money, if any, offered in the BFP Offer, such earnest money to be held by Landlord and applied against the Refusal Purchase Price at the closing of the purchase and sale of the Leased Premises. Time shall be of the essence with respect to said ten (10) day period and delivery of the Refusal Notice by Tenant. If Tenant shall accept the BFP Offer, Tenant shall execute any documentation reasonably required by Landlord to reflect Tenant's acceptance of the Refusal Offer.

(c) If Tenant does not accept, or fails to accept, the BFP Offer in accordance with the provisions of Article 16.01(b), Landlord shall thereafter be entitled to attempt to sell the Leased Premises, upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may determine, except that if the price (the "Later Refusal Purchase Price") for which Landlord enters into a binding contract (which contract must be subject to the terms of this Article 16) ("Third Party Contract") to sell the Leased Premises, is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Refusal Purchase Price, then Landlord must again offer the Leased Premises to Tenant for the Later Refusal Purchase Price, by a notice to Tenant. Tenant shall have ten (10) days after such notice in which to accept, or decline to accept, the sale of the Leased Premises for the Later Refusal Purchase Price. If Tenant accepts the Later Refusal Purchase Price, then the sale of the Leased Premises shall be accomplished and consummated under the other terms of this Article 16, for the Later Refusal

Purchase Price. If no further offer by Landlord to Tenant is required, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord's request therefore, deliver an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord confirming the aforesaid waiver, but no such instrument shall be necessary to make the provisions hereof effective.

(d) If Tenant does not timely deliver the Refusal Notice and the Leased Premises are transferred to a third party, Tenant will attorn to such third party as Landlord so long as such third party and Landlord notify Tenant in writing of such transfer. At the request of Landlord, Tenant will execute such documents confirming the agreement referred to above and such other agreements as Landlord may reasonably request, provided that such agreements do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Tenant hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply to or prohibit (i) any mortgaging, subjection to deed to secure debt or other hypothecation of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises, (ii) any sale of the Leased Premises pursuant to a private power of sale under or judicial foreclosure of any mortgage or other security instrument or device to which Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises is now or hereafter subject, (iii) any transfer of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises to a lender, beneficiary under deed of trust or other hold of a security interest therein or their designees by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) any transfer of the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency with power of condemnation, (v) any transfer of the Leased Premises, or any interest therein or in Landlord to any affiliate of Landlord, or (vi) any transfer of the Leased Premises to any of the successors or assigns of any of the persons or entities referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv).

(f) If the Leased Premises is purchased by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph, Tenant shall accept such on an "as is" basis, and shall accept such subject to all liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to any of the Leased Premises of record and to all applicable laws, but free of the lien of and security interest created by any mortgage or assignment of leases and rents and liens, exceptions and restrictions on, against or relating to the Leased Premises which have been created by or resulted solely from acts of Landlord after the date of this Lease, unless the same are customary utility easements benefiting the Leased Premises or were created with the concurrence of Tenant or as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease.

(g) Upon the date fixed for a purchase of the Leased Premises pursuant to this Paragraph which shall be the earlier date to occur of (i) sixty (60) days following acceptance of the BFP Offer, or (ii) the date specified in the Third Party Contract, if applicable, (the "Purchase Date"), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or to any person or entity to whom Landlord directs payment, the Refusal Purchase Price (or Later Refusal Purchase Price, as applicable) and all other sums payable by Tenant under the BFP Offer, in immediately available funds, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant or its designee (i) special warranty deed or its equivalent which describes the Leased Premises and conveys the title thereto as provided above and (ii) such other instruments as shall be necessary to transfer the Leased Premises to Tenant or its designee. Upon the completion of a purchase by Tenant or its designee of the Leased Premises, this Lease and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant hereunder shall terminate, except any obligations of Tenant under this Lease, actual or contingent, which arise on or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease or which survive such expiration or termination by their own terms. Any prepaid monetary obligations paid to Landlord shall be prorated as of the Purchase Date, and the prorated unapplied balance shall be deducted from the Refusal Purchase Price (or Later Refusal Purchase Price, as applicable) due to Landlord.

(h) If the completion of the purchase by Tenant or its designee pursuant to this Paragraph shall be delayed after the date scheduled for such purchase, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall continue to be due and payable until completion of such purchase.

(i) If Tenant exercises its rights under this Article 16 by sending a ROFO Notice, but the purchase and sale of the Leased Premises does not close because of a default by Tenant, Tenant's liability in such circumstance shall be limited to the earnest money deposit provided by Tenant and held by Landlord, and such event shall not also be an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease.

16.02 No Brokers for Sale. Landlord and Tenant each warrant and represent to the other that neither has employed or otherwise engaged or will employ or engage a real estate broker or agent in connection with the sale of the applicable components of the Leased Premises pursuant to the Refusal Right. Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree, each to the other, to indemnify the other against any loss, liability, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred), claims, demands, causes of action and suits arising out of the alleged employment or engagement by the indemnifying party of any real estate broker or agent in connection with the Refusal Right. The indemnities contained in this subsection shall survive Closing and any termination of this Lease.

16.03 Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph to the contrary, if the Lease is terminated or expires prior to the exercise of the BFP Offer by Tenant, the Refusal Right shall terminate.

THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT; ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LEASE ASSIGNMENT, ESTOPPEL, NI 1ORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made DATE OF DOCUMENTS by and between BORROWER NAME, a ("Owner"), NAME OF TENANT HERE ("Tenant") and NAME OF LENDER HERE

("Lender").

RECITALS

Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a lease between Owner and Tenant dated DATE OF LEASE HERE ("Lease"), Owner, as "Landlord", leased to Tenant certain premises within the property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (which property, together with all improvements now or hereafter located on the property, is defined as the "Property").

Owner has executed, or proposes to execute, a deed to secure debt with absolute assignment of leases and rents, security agreement and fixture filing ("Security Deed") securing, among other things, a promissory note ("Note") in the principal sum of LOAN AMOUNT AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($LOAN AMOUNT), dated DATE OF DOCUMENTS, in favor of Lender, which Note is payable with interest and upon the terms and conditions described therein ("Loan"). The Security Deed is to be recorded concurrently herewith.

As a condition to making the Loan secured by the Security Deed, Lender requires that the Security Deed be unconditionally and at all times remain a lien on the Property, prior and superior to all the rights of Tenant under the Lease and that the Tenant specifically and unconditionally subordinate the Lease to the lien of the Security Deed.

D.	Owner and Tenant have agreed to the subordination, attornment and other agreements herein in favor of Lender.

NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Owner and Tenant hereby agree for the benefit of Lender as follows:

1.	SUBORDINATION. Owner and Tenant hereby agree that:

Prior Lien. The Security Deed securing the Note in favor of Lender, and any modifications, renewals or extensions thereof, will unconditionally be and at all times remain a lien on the Property prior and superior to the Lease;

1.2Subordination. Lender would not make the Loan without this agreement to subordinate; and

1.3 Whole Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement and only agreement with regard to the subordination of the Lease to the lien of the Security Deed and will supersede and cancel, but only insofar as would affect the priority between the Security Deed and the Lease, any prior agreements as to such subordination, including, without limitation, those provisions, if any, contained in the Lease which provide for the subordination of the Lease to a deed or deeds of trust or to a mortgage or mortgages.

AND FURTHER, Tenant individually declares, agrees and acknowledges for the benefit of Lender, that:

1.4 Use of Proceeds. Lender, in making disbursements pursuant to the Note, the Security Deed or any loan agreements with respect to the Property, is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Lender represented that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Lender disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in such agreement or agreements will not defeat this agreement to subordinate in whole or in part;

1.5 Waiver, Relinquishment and Subordination. Tenant intentionally and unconditionally waives, relinquishes and subordinates all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Property to the lien of the Security Deed and understands that in reliance upon, and in consideration of, this waiver, relinquishment and subordination, specific loans and advances are being and will be made by Lender and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations are being and will be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for said reliance upon this waiver, relinquishment and subordination.

2.	ASSIGNMENT. Tenant acknowledges and consents to the assignment of the Lease by Owner in favor of Lender. ESTOPPEL. Tenant acknowledges and represents that:

3.1 Lease Effective. The Lease has been duly executed and delivered by Tenant and, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Lease is in full force and effect, the obligations of Tenant thereunder are valid and binding and there have been no modifications or additions to the Lease, written or oral;

3.2 No Default. To the best of Tenant's knowledge, as of the date hereof: (i) there exists no breach, default, or event or condition which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a breach or default under the Lease; and (ii) there are no existing claims, defenses or offsets against rental due or to become due under the Lease;

3.3

Entire Agreement. The Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Owner and Tenant with respect to the

Property and Tenant claims no rights with respect to the Property other than as set forth in the Lease; and

3.4 No Prepaid Rent. No deposits or prepayments of rent have been made in connection with the Lease, except

as follows: (if none, state ''None")

4.	ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS. Tenant covenants and agrees that, during all such times as Lender is the

Beneficiary or Grantee under the Security Deed:

4.1 Modification, Termination and Cancellation. Tenant will not consent to any modification, amendment, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without Lender's prior written consent and will not make any payment to Owner in consideration of any modification, termination or cancellation of the Iease (in whole or in part) without Lender's prior written consent;

4.2 Notice of Default. Tenant will notify Lender in writing concurrently with any notice given to Owner of any default by Owner under the Lease, and Tenant agrees that Lender has the right (but not the obligation) to cure any breach or default specified in such notice within the time periods set forth below and Tenant will not declare a default of the Lease, as to Lender, if Lender cures such default within fifteen (15) days from and after the expiration of the time period provided in the Lease for the cure thereof by Owner; provided, however, that if such default cannot with diligence be cured by Lender within such fifteen (15) day period, the commencement of action by Lender within such fifteen (15) day period to remedy the same will be deemed sufficient so long as Lender pursues such cure with diligence;

4.3

No Advance Rents. Tenant will make no payments or prepayments of rent more than one (1) month in

advance of the time when the same become due under the Lease; and

4.4 Assignment of Rents. Upon receipt by Tenant of written notice from Lender that Lender has elected to terminate the license granted to Owner to collect rents, as provided in the Security Deed, and directing the payment of rents by Tenant to Lender, Tenant shall comply with such direction to pay and shall not be required to determine whether Owner is in default under the Loan and/or the Security Deed.

ATTORNMENT. In the event of a foreclosure under the Security Deed, Tenant agrees for the benefit of Lender (including for this purpose any transferee of Lender or any transferee of Owner's title in and to the Property by Lender's exercise of the remedy of sale by foreclosure under the Security Deed) as follows:

5.1

Payment of Rent. Tenant shall pay to Lender all rental payments required to be made by Tenant pursuant to

the terms of the Lease for the duration of the term of the Lease;

5.2 Continuation of Performance. Tenant shall be bound to Lender in accordance with all of the provisions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof, and Tenant hereby attorns to Lender as its landlord, such attomment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Lender succeeding to Owner's interest in the Lease and giving written notice thereof to Tenant;

5.3 No Offset. Lender will not be liable for the return of any sums which Tenant may have paid to Owner under the Lease as and for security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Owner to Lender; and

5.4 Subsequent Transfer. If Lender, by succeeding to the interest of Owner under the Lease, should become obligated to perform the covenants of Owner thereunder, then, upon any further transfer of Owner's interest by Lender, all of such obligations shall terminate as to Lender.

NON-DISTURBANCE. In the event of a foreclosure under the Security Deed, so long as there then exists no breach, default, or event of default on the part of Tenant under the Lease beyond any period for cure by Tenant thereunder, Lender agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that the rights and interests of Tenant under the Lease will not be extinguished or terminated by reason of such foreclosure, but rather the Lease will continue in full force and effect and Lender shall recognize and accept Tenant as tenant under the Lease subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease except as modified by this Agreement.

GUARANTY

In consideration of, and as an inducement for the granting, execution and delivery of the foregoing Lease Agreement, dated, 2010 (the "Lease"), by JEFFERSON MILL

PROJECT I LLC, landlord therein named ("Landlord", which term will be deemed to include the named Landlord, its successors and assigns), to SYX DISTRIBUTION, INC., tenant therein named ("Tenant", which term will be deemed to include the named Tenant and its successors and assigns), and in further consideration of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid by Landlord to the undersigned, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, SYSTEMAX INC., ("Guarantor", which term will be deemed to include the named Guarantor and its successors and assigns), does hereby (jointly and severally if executed by two or more guarantors) guarantee, absolutely and unconditionally, to Landlord the full and prompt payment of Base Rental, additional rent and all other charges and sums (including, without limitation, Landlord's legal expenses and attorney's fees and disbursements) payable by Tenant under the Lease, and hereby further guarantees the full and timely performance and observance of all the covenants, terms, conditions and agreements therein provided to be performed and observed by Tenant; and Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees to and with Landlord that if default should at any time be made by Tenant in the payment of any Base Rental, additional rent or other charges and sums, or if Tenant should default in the performance and observance of any of the tei4s, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease, Guarantor shall and will forthwith pay Base Rental, additional rent and all other charges and sums, to Landlord and any arrears thereof, and shall and will forthwith faithfully perform and fulfill all of such terms, covenants and conditions and will forthwith pay to Landlord all direct costs that may arise in consequence of any default by Tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord or caused by any such default or the enforcement of this Guaranty.

This Guaranty is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment (and not of collection) and of performance. The liability of Guarantor is co-extensive with that of Tenant and also joint and several and this Guaranty will be enforceable against Guarantor without the necessity of any suit or proceeding on Landlord's part of any kind or nature whatsoever against Tenant and without the necessity of any notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance or of any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or of any other notice or demand to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled, all of which Guarantor hereby expressly waives. Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder will in no way be terminated, affected, diminished or impaired by reason of (a) the assertion or the failure to assert by Landlord against Tenant of any of the rights or remedies reserved by Landlord pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, or (b) any non-liability of Tenant under the Lease, whether by insolvency, discharge in bankruptcy, or any other defect or defense which may now or hereafter exist in favor of Tenant.

This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty, and the liability of Guarantor hereunder will in no way be affected, modified or diminished by reason of (a) any assignment, renewal, modification, amendment or extension of the Lease, or (b) any modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease by Landlord and Tenant, or (c) any extension of time that may be granted by Landlord to Tenant, or (d) any consent, release, indulgence or other action, inaction or omission under or in respect of the Lease, or (e) any dealings or transactions or matter or thing occurring between Landlord and Tenant, or (f) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership, trusteeship or similar proceeding affecting Tenant, whether or not

notice thereof is given to Guarantor. Guarantor expressly waives the right to require Landlord to take action against Tenant as provided for in Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 10-7-24 (Michie 1981, as amended or hereafter amended).

Should Landlord be obligated by any bankruptcy or other law to repay to Tenant or to Guarantor or to any trustee, receiver or other representative of either of them, any amounts previously paid, this Guaranty will be reinstated in the amount of such repayments. Landlord will not be required to litigate or otherwise dispute its obligations to make such repayments if it in good faith believes that such obligation exists.

In the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease by Tenant or Tenant's receiver or trustee pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other law affecting creditors' rights, Guarantor shall, and does hereby (without the necessity of any further agreement or act), assume all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under or arising out of the Lease, to the same extent as if Guarantor had been originally named the Tenant under the Lease and there had been no such rejection or disaffirmance. At the request of Landlord upon or after such rejection or disaffirmance, Guarantor shall confirm such assumption in writing. Upon such assumption, Guarantor will succeed to all rights of Tenant under the Lease and will be entitled to a new lease on all of the terms and conditions of the Lease with respect to the remaining Lease Term (to the extent permitted by law). Guarantor shall execute and deliver such documents as Landlord may from time to time reasonably require to evidence such assumption and succession.

No delay on the part of Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty or failure to exercise the same will operate as a waiver of or otherwise affect any such right, power or privilege, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

No waiver or modification of any provision of this Guaranty nor any termination of this Guaranty will be effective unless in writing, signed by Landlord; nor will any such waiver be applicable except in the specific instance for which given.

All of Landlord's rights and remedies under the Lease and under this Guaranty, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any of the others.

Guarantor agrees that whenever at any time or from time to time Guarantor makes any payment to Landlord or performs or fulfills any term, covenant or condition hereunder on account of the liability of Guarantor hereunder, Guarantor will notify Landlord in writing that such payment or performance, as the case may be, is for such purpose. No such payment or performance by Guarantor pursuant to any provision hereof will entitle Guarantor by subrogation or otherwise to the rights of Landlord to any payment by Tenant or out of the property of Tenant, except after payment of all sums or fulfillment of all covenants, terms, conditions or agreements to be paid or performed by Tenant.

Guarantor agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) business days following written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement certifying that this Guaranty is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating such modification). Guarantor agrees that such certificate may be relied on by anyone holding or proposing to acquire any

interest in the Building (as defined in the Lease) from or through Landlord or by any mortgagee (a defined in the Lease) or prospective mortgagee or lessor of the Building or of any interest therein.

Without regard to principles of conflicts of laws, the validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Guaranty will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia. Guarantor hereby submits to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction in the State of Georgia, the courts thereof and the United States District Courts sitting therein, for the enforcement of this Guaranty, and Guarantor hereby waives any and all personal rights under the law of any jurisdiction to object on any basis (including, without limitation, inconvenience of forum) to jurisdiction or venue within the State of Georgia for the purpose of litigation to enforce this Guaranty.
