EXHIBIT B
STATEMENT OF WORK NO. 1
TO iLEARN DEVELOPMENT AND INTERACTIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN iXL, INC. AND ENDEAVOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

The following is Statement of Work No. 1 (the "Statement"), made as of June ___, 1998, to the iLearn Development and Interactive Services Agreement (the "Agreement") executed on June ___, 1998, between iXL, Inc. ("iXL") and Endeavor, Inc. ("Endeavor"). Except as specifically stated herein, each capitalized term used in this Statement shall have the same meaning as is assigned to it in the Agreement.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES AND BASIC TERMS. This agreement describes the basic concept for the Endeavor on-line training and education project. iXL will design and create online training content and provide an administration/tracking system. While iXL's initial focus will be to provide accredited CME/CEU courses to enhance Endeavor's healthcare service (WebMD), iXL also proposes to provide the content management/production templates and build online content that could be used in Endeavor's subsequent vertical market initiatives, which are beyond the scope of work for this Statement.

BASIC TERMS

. This pricing assumes no exclusivity for iLearn or Code which may be used by iXL for other clients in the healthcare industry. However, Endeavor will have exclusive rights to the on-line training content itself.

. The initial HTML text-based CME/CEU content will already be accredited. Any additional accreditation fees required after conversion to online multimedia courses or for obtaining accreditation for new or original content will be paid separately by Endeavor or the content provider and will not be considered part of iXL's compensation hereunder or affect delivery and acceptance of Web-MD Courses hereunder.

. iXL will use reasonable commercial efforts to effect a strategic alliance between Endeavor and the Thomson Corporation ("Thomson") on terms that are reasonably acceptable to Endeavor. Endeavor will keep iXL advised of the progress of its relationships with Thomson and, if possible, work with iXL to develop any educational or training content.

. Any electronic commerce solutions required for the online sale of educational content will be built and charged separately and are beyond the scope of this Statement of Work.

18

. Any system development, licensing fees or maintenance costs for the hardware, system software, or hosting of the online courses for distribution/delivery will be the responsibility of Endeavor.

. After the initial management/tracking engine and production templates are built, the content creation model could apply to other vertical markets with some modification to the original engine/templates. (Such modification goes beyond the scope of work under this Statement and will not be included in the Phase I Document).

. Any unique Web-MD specific hardware, software or net work licenses, equipment and support needed for development will be provided by Endeavor.

2. PAYMENT. Subject to the terms herein and those contained in the Agreement, Endeavor agrees to pay iXL the following amounts:

(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, the up front portion of $ *** the contract amount

(b) Seven monthly payments on remainder of the $ *** $ *** amount (beginning on June 1, 1998, and ending with payment on December 1, 1998)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

iLEARN FUNCTIONALITY

The content for CME/CEU training for Web MD will be delivered using Java Applets and Servlets, allowing for any computer, NC or Desktop, to be able to access the online training.

The iLearn functionality that will be available to users of each of the Web MD training courses are:

. Secure Login Environment
. Graphically branded environment
. Online driven Menu Navigator
. Content delivered via timed slides and Streaming Audio
. FAQs
. Glossary
. Threaded discussion
. Accredited Testing
. Search capabilities within the course

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

There are three distinct components to the future Endeavor Training system:

. The server component that stores the training content and is primarily responsible for the management and delivery of the content
. The client component, whether browser-based, player-based or some hybrid thereof, that serves as the user interface that the Trainee uses for training
. A Knowledge Management System, the component that is primarily responsible for the tracking of delivered content to the extent defined in this document. Other responsibilities of Knowledge Management System include validating users before they begin training sessions, determining the training modules that are available or mandatory for a user, etc.

The Knowledge Management System will run as a database application on a central server. This implies that all end-users must have connectivity, and the required level of access to the Knowledge Management System.

Endeavor subscribers may also take training from non-hospital locations, such as their homes, by dialing in. In order to enable the transfer of content as well tracking data between the server and client, the dial-in user must remain connected to the Internet for the duration of the Lesson.

The Knowledge Management System administration Web content developed must work with Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 or greater.

22

The Knowledge Management System will capture and store CME/CEU training information. The following information should be captured:

. Trainee ID
. Course name
. Course description
. Name of offering institution
. Date/time started
. Date/time ended
. Name of certificate or degree
. Score or grade received
. Credit hours received
. Additional comments

The Knowledge Management System will allow a standard reporting solution for accreditation purposes for those taking the courses. In addition, it will provide reports for content publishers and providers to monitor the usage of their courses.

5. CONTENT AND DESIGN INPUT FROM ENDEAVOR. As soon as possible after execution of the Agreement, Endeavor or its representatives will provide iXL with the following:

NCI will use all reasonably diligent efforts to correct significant Program Errors that ENDEAVOR identifies, classifies and reports to NCI and that NCI substantiates. NCI may reclassify Program Errors if it reasonably believes that ENDEAVOR's classification is incorrect. ENDEAVOR will provide sufficient information to enable NCI to duplicate the Program Error before NCI's response obligations will commence. NCI will not be required to correct any Program Error caused by (a) ENDEAVOR's incorporation or attachment of a feature, program, or device to the NCI Software, or any part thereof; (b) any nonconformance caused by accident, transportation, neglect, misuse, alteration, modification, or enhancement of the NCI Software; (c) the failure to provide a suitable installation environment;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NCI will use all reasonably diligent efforts to resolve each significant Program Error by providing either a reasonable workaround, an object code patch, or a specification plan for how NCI will address the problem and an estimate of how long it will take to rectify the defect. NCI reserves the right to charge ENDEAVOR additional fees at its then-standard rates for services performed in connection with reported Program Errors which are later determined to have been due to hardware or software not supplied by NCI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NCI has no obligation to perform services in connection with Program Errors (i) resulting from hardware or software not supplied by NCI; or (ii) which occur in the NCI Software release which is not the then-current release.

b) Front-line Support. ENDEAVOR, and not NCI, will provide front-line, or first and second level, technical support to Subscribers. Such support includes call receipt, call screening, installation assistance, problem identification and diagnosis, efforts to create a repeatable demonstration of the Program Error and, if applicable, the distribution of any defective media or minor updates. ENDEAVOR agrees that any end user documentation distributed by ENDEAVOR will clearly and conspicuously state that end users should call ENDEAVOR for technical support for the Internet Services/ Web- MD Hospital Services and NCI Software. NCI will have no obligation to furnish any assistance, information or Software Documentation with respect to the NCI Software to any Subscriber or other end user. If NCI customer support

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, THIG has developed and copyrighted certain proprietary healthcare content ("Content"), as more fully described in Appendix A ("THIG Content"), and in conjunction with delivery of this Content, THIG shall provide a Content Service ("Content Service"), as more fully described in Appendix B ("Content Service").

WHEREAS, Endeavor intends to engage in the marketing and provision of healthcare content to physicians and wishes to license the Content, and make use of Content Services to make the Content available through "WebMD", Endeavor's World Wide Web site, as more fully described in Appendix C ("Endeavor Service"), and known in this Agreement as the "Service".

WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge that the Internet is neither owned nor controlled by any one entity; therefore, THIG can make no guarantee that any given End-User shall be able to access the Content Service at any given time. THIG represents that it shall make every good faith effort to ensure that its Content Service is available as widely as possible and with as little service interruption as possible.

DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement, the following definition of terms shall be used:

Advertising. Payments by a third party for placement of an advertisement in conjunction with Content.

Subscription. Payment by a third party or End-User for End-User access to Content.

Page 1 of 17

Sponsorship. Payment by a third party for subscriptions for End-User access to Content involving placement of a company trademark or notification of a company identity in conjunction with Content.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual covenants, and promises set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I - DUTIES OF LICENSOR

1.1 GRANT. THIG hereby grants to Endeavor for the term of this Agreement the nontransferable and nonexclusive right and license to make available the English language editions of the Content to authorized registered "End-Users" of the Service. "End-Users" shall be defined as physicians who are subscribers to and continue to have access to the Service via Endeavor's World Wide Web site, WebMD.

1.2 PROVISION OF SERVICES. THIG agrees to provide Content Services as described in Appendix B and undertake a Fast Start Program as described in Appendix D.

1.3 NONEXCLUSIVITY. This Agreement does not impose any obligation of exclusivity upon either party.

1.4 MARKETS. End-Users of Content are limited to physicians. Endeavor agrees that on an introductory Service screen which End-Users must view prior to entering the actual Service, End-Users shall be required to agree that, as further defined in Section 2.6 below, use of the Content in the Service is limited to individual use and may not be recommercialized in any way for any purpose.

1.5 ADVERTISING AND SPONSORSHIP. While advertising and sponsorship may from time to time occur in conjunction with the Content, advertising and sponsorship shall not be the primary source of Endeavor's sales revenue. Endeavor may sell sponsorship of an entire electronic publication as listed in Appendix A after first consulting with THIG.

1.6 DISTRIBUTION TERRITORY. Use of Content is limited to physicians in the United States.

1.7 ACCESS TO CONTENT. THIG grants authorized end users of the Service (see Section 2.1 below) access to the Content through use of an industry standard Web browser.

1.8 SUPPORT FOR CONTENT AND CONTENT SERVICES. All support questions from Endeavor management and technical staff regarding Content and Content Services shall be directed to a support liaison designated by THIG from time to time. This includes prompt reporting of unscheduled disruptions to Content Services. THIG may designate a new Support Liaison at any time and shall promptly notify Endeavor of any such decision in writing. THIG shall provide to Endeavor up to twenty (20) hours of support, during the sixty (60) business days following delivery of new or updated Content. Additional support shall be made available at

Page 2 of 17

Endeavor's reasonable request as to time, place and manner. Additional support shall be charged by THIG to Endeavor on a time and materials basis according to THIG's then-current rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, THIG shall guarantee its service rates for the first year of this Agreement at $*** per hour of requested technical service.

1.9 UPDATES TO CONTENT. For purposes of this Agreement, any change, update, enhancement, revision, correction or replacement of Content and/or of Documentation released by THIG is an "Update." To provide Endeavor with fair and equitable treatment, Updates shall be available to users of the Service simultaneously with their release to any other commercial electronic vendor of the Content serving the professional market. Specifications may change over time as improvements occur in the normal course of business that require THIG to change the layout and/or format of the Content delivered to Endeavor. In such instances, THIG shall provide Endeavor with written notice not less than forty five (45) days prior to the delivery of an Update to the affected Content to Endeavor.

1.10 ACTIVITY REPORTING. THIG shall maintain and provide Endeavor with quarterly usage statistics of Endeavor End-Users on its hosted site.

1.11 NOTICE OF CONTENT CESSATION. THIG shall have the right to cease normal production or updating of any of the Content, provided that such cessation by THIG is not with respect to Endeavor alone but is part of a program by THIG to cease production or updating of such Content on or through other electronically accessed networks, including but not limited to the same or similar On-line Distributors on which the Service is available. THIG shall give Endeavor six
(6) months' written notice prior to THIG's requesting Endeavor to cease use of any Content set, as described above. Upon receipt of such notice and subsequent removal of the subject THIG Content from the Service, Endeavor shall have the right in its discretion: (a) to obtain from THIG promptly substitute Content acceptable to Endeavor and THIG as a replacement; or (b) to reduce the Payments. In the event that THIG resumes production and/or updating of Content that THIG previously ceased producing or updating, Endeavor shall have the right but not the obligation to again use such formerly discontinued or non-updated Content in the Service. If Endeavor does so, it shall be under the same terms and conditions as such Content was formerly used hereunder.

ARTICLE II - DUTIES OF LICENSE

2.1 AVAILABILITY OF THE CONTENT TO END-USERS. Endeavor shall provide a security mechanism to identify the End-User and authorize the use of the service by an End-User. The security mechanism shall also deny entry to unauthorized users.

*** Omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

Page 3 of 17

2.2 CONTENT INTEGRITY. Endeavor shall not edit or otherwise effect an editorial change in the Content without THIG's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. It is agreed that GUIs created by Endeavor shall not violate the rights of THIG hereunder. The foregoing shall in no way prohibit Endeavor from interlinking and cross-referencing the Content with material from other Content providers.

2.3 PROPRIETARY INTEREST. Endeavor acknowledges that THIG has proprietary rights in and to the Content. Endeavor shall not, by virtue of this Agreement or by virtue of its access to the Content, obtain any proprietary rights in or to the Content except the right specifically granted to Endeavor herein.

2.4 AUDIT AND REVIEW. As long as this Agreement is in effect, and for a one- year period thereafter, Endeavor shall maintain and supply to THIG every calendar quarter records that are used to calculate payments to THIG. This includes records on use and distribution of the Content, and logs maintained by web servers that record end user activity. THIG understands and agrees that all of Endeavor's financial records and statements are confidential and subject to the Confidentiality Agreement between the parties effective upon signing of this Agreement.

(a) Upon a minimum of twenty (20) business days' notice to Endeavor, and during business hours, THIG may itself or through an agent at its expense, audit relevant books and records of Endeavor for the sole purpose of determining that Endeavor is in compliance with all of the terms of this Agreement and that the proper payment, as described in Section 3 below, has been paid to THIG. Such an audit may not be made more frequently than once every twelve (12) months and once within the twelve (12) month period following conclusion or termination of this Agreement.

(b) In the event THIG determines that payments are due from Endeavor, it shall so notify Endeavor and provide Endeavor with a calculation and supporting explanation. Endeavor shall thereupon have fifteen (15) business days within which to pay the claim. In the event Endeavor does not pay the claim, the parties shall resolve their dispute by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Endeavor shall promptly pay any payment thus determined to be due and unpaid.

2.5 COPYRIGHT NOTICE. When making the Content available to End-Users as permitted by this Agreement, Endeavor shall cause a notice comprised of the following elements to be conspicuously displayed during every End-User session as appropriate to protect THIG's intellectual property rights: (a) the word "Copyright" or the symbol (C) (the letter c in a circle), (b) the year of first publication of such document as specified by THIG, (c) the name of the copyright holder or, if space constraints require, an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized or a generally known alternative designation, and (d) the words "All Rights Reserved" (or, if space constraints require, an abbreviation by which such phrase can be recognized that is reasonably acceptable to THIG).

Endeavor shall grant neither to On-Line Distributors, nor to any End-User of the Content or any third party, any additional rights to reproduce the Content retrieved through the Service (by photocopying, electronic transmission or otherwise) without THIG's prior written consent. The Endeavor End-User Agreement shall in all manner be consistent with, and cover the items contained in MedEc Interactives' User Registration Agreement (see Appendix E) and its updates in the ordinary course of business.

Furthermore, Endeavor shall place a notice relating to all the provisions described above on one of the first introductory screens that End-Users must view upon entering or using the Service in all available media.

5.4 LAWFUL PURPOSE. Endeavor and the authorized users of the Content Service may only use the Content Service for lawful purpose.

This also includes links or any connection to such materials.

5.5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. THIG makes no warranties or representations of any kind, whether expressed or implied for the Content Service it is providing. THIG also disclaims any warranty of merchant-ability or fitness for particular purpose and shall not be responsible for any damages that may be suffered by Endeavor and the End-Users of the Content Service, including loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries or service interruptions by any cause or errors or omissions. Connection speed represents the speed of a connection and does not represent guarantees of available end to end bandwidth. THIG expressly limits its damages to the Endeavor and End-Users of the Content Service for any non-accessibility time or other down time to a pro-rata credit of THIG's charges during system unavailability. THIG specifically denies any responsibilities for any damages arising as a consequent of such unavailability.

Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall THIG, its offices, agents or any one else involved in creating, producing, or operating the Content Service be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages that result from the use of or inability to use the Content Service; or that results from mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files, errors, defects, delays in operation, or transmission or any failure of performance, whether or not limited to acts of God, communication failure, theft, destruction, or unauthorized access to THIG's records, programs, or services. Endeavor hereby acknowledges that this paragraph shall apply to all content on the Content Service.

THIG represents and warrants that it is authorized to grant the license herein to Endeavor, and covenants that Endeavor's exercise of the license herein shall infringe no copyright or other right of any person or entity. If any portion of the Content furnished to Endeavor under this Agreement becomes (or, in the good faith judgment of THIG, is likely to become) the subject of a claim for infringement or misappropriation, THIG may, upon notice to Endeavor, request that Endeavor remove such portion of the Content from the Service, and Endeavor shall

Page 9 of 17

comply with such request promptly; provided however, that THIG shall not have the right to request such removal unless such materials are required to be removed from the services of all other similarly situated on-line vendors (if any) to whom they are made available by THIG; and provided that in the event of such removal, Endeavor shall have the same rights described in Section 1.10 above. THIG represents and warrants that it is not aware of any pending, threatened or possible claim or action by any third party with respect to a possible violation of that third party's rights.

The parties agree that Endeavor makes no warranty or representation regarding, nor is Endeavor responsible for, the Content, which Endeavor is obtaining from THIG under this Agreement, and as to which Endeavor has a duty not to edit or change (Section 2.2 above).

APPENDIX B

CONTENT SERVICE

The THIG Content Service enriches the Content made available to Endeavor. The THIG Content Services provides access to the Content through multiple indices, search mechanisms, page linking, and logical and useful navigation. During the term of this Agreement, the THIG, Content Service shall continue to be enhanced, improved, and updated.

The THIG Content Services shall be operated and maintained by Medical Economics with professional diligence and skill and in a manner consistent with high industry standards. The THIG Content Service currently experiences 98% reliability. However, server outages not related to THIG hardware, configuration, or network are excluded from this Agreement. In order to ensure a high level of reliability, the THIG Content Services shall be redundantly hosted and include a "hot backup" (a fully operational server running concurrently to the main server). This redundancy shall occur on or before October 31, 1998. Because of the time it takes to set up this redundant environment, THIG shall not be able to offer this as part of the Fast Start Program (see Appendix D).

In order to improve and maintain the THIG Content Service, THIG designates time periods ("Scheduled Maintenance Windows") during which it may limit or suspend the availability of the hardware and/or software involved in providing its Services and Products (an "Outage") to perform necessary maintenance or upgrades. Scheduled Maintenance Windows currently are each Tuesday and Friday between the hours of 4:00 am and 12 noon and the third Saturday of each month between the hours of 4:00 am and 12 noon, Eastern Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time. By or before the conclusion of the Fast Start Program, the Scheduled Maintenance Window for major systems component updates shall only occur between the hours of 1:00 am and 7:00 am, and normal content updates shall occur only between the hours of 1:00 am and 10:00 am. THIG shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that End-User access is maximized and disruption minimized during the content update and systems maintenance/upgrade processes. If planned maintenance has the possibility of making the server or servers utilized by Endeavor inaccessible to the Internet during a Scheduled Maintenance Window, THIG shall provide not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior electronic mail or other notice to Endeavor of the Scheduled Maintenance Window during which the Outage is planned. In addition, THIG reserves the right to perform any required maintenance work outside of the Scheduled Maintenance Window with prior notice to Endeavor.

It is the duty of Endeavor to report unscheduled service outages of the Content Service to the Support Liaison. For the purpose of this Agreement, a service outage means that THIG's standard hardware, software, or operating system is functioning in a manner that prevents http message receipt by Endeavor's Internet server. In the event of an extended Unavailability, remedies shall be limited to the pro-rata credit specified in Section 5.5, Representation and Warranties.

APPENDIX D

FAST START PROGRAM

WHEREAS, Endeavor has stated that a beta trial of WebMD shall begin on 15 July 1998, and deployment is planned on the following schedule:

. *** thin clients shall be deployed from 15 July to 15 August 1998,
. *** additional thin clients shall be deployed from 15 August to 15
. *** additional thin clients shall be deployed from 15 September to 15 October 1998.

And, THIG is willing to highly compress the time needed to provide this Content and the associated Content Services and use its best efforts under a "Fast Start Program". Content shall be delivered to Endeavor and the End-Users of the Service approximately three (3) weeks from the date of signing of this Agreement. The Fast Start Program shall provide a custom view of the web pages housed with the Content Service to authenticated Service End-Users. The Fast Start Program differs from delivery of Content and Content Services after October 31st, 1998 in the following ways:

. During the Fast Start Program all content described in Appendix A,
Section One, shall be made available to authenticated Service End- Users.

. During the Fast Start Program End User access to the Content Service shall be granted to those End-Users who provide a valid user name and password. Endeavor shall provide a mechanism for supplying THIG with this user name and password. It is expected that End-Users shall be referred to the Content Service only from the WebMD website. A unique, user name and password shall be authenticated by Endeavor and the End-User session shall be sent to the Content Service. Based on the referring URL, the Content Service shall allow the End-User access.

. During its existence, the Content Service platform has achieved greater than 98% reliability, but lacks the redundancy to confidentiality state that this level of reliability can be maintained. THIG shall use its best effort to maintain 98% reliability during the Fast Start Program and on or before October 31, 1998 THIG shall provide the level of reliability and quality of service described in Appendix B.


*** Omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

. While Endeavor and THIG have tested the delivery of web pages between their facilities, it is reasonable to assume that there are undiscovered technical and management challenges, and that, despite mutual best efforts, Content may not be available to End-Users of the Service as expected during the course of the Fast Start Program.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual covenants and promises set forth above and therein,

ENDEAVOR AND THIG agree the Fast Start Program shall initiate upon signing of this Agreement and terminate on or before October 31, 1998. Content shall be delivered to Endeavor and the End-Users of the Service approximately three weeks following the execution of this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

EXHIBIT 10.29

Virtual Internet Provider (VIP) Agreement

This Virtual Internet Provider Agreement (the "Agreement") is made in the city of Fairfax, Virginia, this 11th day of September, 1998 (the "Effective Date"), between UUNET Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, whose address is 3060 Williams Drive, Fairfax, Virginia 22031 ("UUNET"), and WebMD, Inc., whose address is 3399 Peachtree Road, Suite 400, Atlanta, Georgia 30326 ("Reseller").

The parties hereto agree and bind themselves as follows:

1. SERVICE. UUNET will sell, and Reseller will purchase, services for the interconnection of Reseller's end users with the Internet. UUNET agrees that its Internet access services provided to Reseller will be of a quality usual and customary in the industry for similarly situated companies, and if UUNET consistently fails to meet this standard, Reseller's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement without penalty upon 30 days' written notice if UUNET has not improved service quality during this notice period. UUNET agrees to provide Reseller with a toll-free number to report problems relating to network integrity. This number is to be used only by Reseller and may not be released to Reseller's customers. UUNET's relationship under this Agreement is solely with Reseller and not with any of Reseller's end users. Reseller is responsible for all end-user customer support, billing, and collections.

2. PRICING. The prices set forth in the attached Schedule A apply to PPP dial- up traffic and VIP radius server interoperability. For all other services, UUNET's list prices apply unless other prices have been specifically established. Reseller agrees to pay the Minimum Amount of $/***/ as set forth in Schedule A if billing is based on actual service charges, as calculated pursuant to Schedule A, would be less than the Minimum Amount.

3. TERMS and CONDITIONS. Reseller agrees to comply with the Network Services Terms and Conditions set forth in the attached Schedule B and the Technical Agreement for Network Interoperability, as set forth in the attached Schedule C. Reseller further agrees to require its end users to comply with and acknowledges the terms and conditions in substance identical to those in Sections One, Two, Three, Four and Five of Schedule B. Reseller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless UUNET against any claims resulting from Reseller's or its customers' use of UUNET's services.

4. TESTING. The full effectiveness of this Agreement will be contingent upon the completion of technical testing to the mutual and reasonable satisfaction of both parties during


*** Omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

1

the period of 15 days beginning on or after August 15, 1998. If either party shall reasonably declare the testing results to be unsatisfactory at the conclusion of the 15-day period, the parties shall have another ten days to correct the problem. If such correction is not completed at the end of such ten day period to the mutual and reasonable satisfaction of the parties, this Agreement will terminate with no further liability to either party. If no such declaration is made, acceptance of technical testing shall be presumed, and the Agreement shall remain in effect. Commercial service under the Agreement shall begin on or after September 1, 1998. Monthly minimum amounts as set forth in Schedule A will begin to accrue from the date of the satisfactory completion of technical testing. If testing is completed during the course of a month, the first month's minimum amount will be prorated to reflect the number of days in the month for which the monthly minimum amounts shall accrue.

5. TERM. The term of this Agreement is one year from the Effective Date, which term shall be automatically renewed for additional sixty day terms, provided that neither party has delivered to the other a written notice of intent not to renew for the forthcoming term. Such notice of intent shall be given not less than 60 days in advance of the end of the then-current term. In the sixty days prior to completion of the initial term, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, all appropriate revisions to Schedule A as well as a possible extension of this Agreement's term.

6. TERMINATION.

(a) For Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause without penalty in the event that the other party breaches any material term of this Agreement. Prior to such termination, the party intending to terminate shall first give the other party written notice of its intent to terminate which shall clearly describe problem(s) constituting cause. The other party will have 30 days from the date of receipt of such notice to correct the problem. If the problem is not corrected within such period, the party intending to terminate may terminate this Agreement on such 30th day. Reseller shall cooperate with UUNET in enforcing the Acceptable Use Policy in Section 2 of Schedule B. If Reseller shall violate such acceptable use policy, or permit such violation, and does not immediately act to remedy such violation when it becomes aware of it, UUNET may after good faith discussions of the violation with Reseller's management, terminate this Agreement without penalty with ten days' written notice. If any amounts due and owing by Reseller remain unpaid 60 days after date of invoice, UUNET may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice without penalty.

(b) For Convenience. Reseller may terminate this Agreement for convenience 90 days after giving UUNET written notice. In the event of such termination, Reseller will pay UUNET *** % of the amount obtained by subtracting the charges paid for service prior to termination from the Minimum Amount set forth in Schedule A, in addition to paying all amounts due and owing as of such termination.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY; NO PUBLICITY. The prices and terms of this Agreement shall


*** Omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and filed separately with the Commission.

2

be held confidential by each party, as shall each party's confidential or proprietary information, the parties' respective performance under this Agreement, the quality of UUNET network performance, and any data provided by UUNET to Reseller regarding performance of the UUNET network. Neither party shall disclose any such information to third parties, except as permitted pursuant to this Section 7, and each party shall disseminate such information among its employees only on a need-to-know basis. To the extent a party wishes, or is required by applicable law or regulation, to disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement or performance thereunder, such party shall notify the other party in advance of such disclosure and shall provide the other party, to the maximum extent practicable, the opportunity to comment upon such proposed disclosure. Each party shall be entitled to all available legal and equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Section 7. In addition, either party, may terminate this Agreement for cause upon ten days' notice and without penalty in the event of any breach of this Section.

8. NO USE OF UUNET TRADEMARKS. Reseller may not use the name, logo or any other trademarks or service marks of UUNET in any advertising, signage, marketing materials, brochures or any other materials in any medium without UUNET's express advance written permission. Any such permitted use shall be only within guidelines provided by UUNET. Reseller's breach of this Section 8 shall be a material breach of this Agreement constituting cause for termination pursuant to Section 6(a) by UUNET.

9. FORECASTS. Reseller recognizes UUNET's reliance upon the reasonable accuracy of usage forecasts for network expansion and engineering. During the first week of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement Reseller shall provide UUNET with its best forecast of users and hours for the next six months. Reseller shall also provide UUNET with any information as to marketing programs which will be helpful in determining expected future loads, particularly any information relevant to expected loads in particular geographical locations POPs. Reseller's failure to provide such forecasts at such specified times shall be a material breach of this Agreement constituting cause for termination pursuant to Section 6(a) by UUNET in its absolute discretion.

10. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment is created as a result of this Agreement. Neither party is authorized to bind the other in any respect whatsoever.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE TO THE CONTRARY STATED OR IMPLIED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE OTHER OR BY ANY ASSIGNEE OR OTHER TRANSFEREE OF THE OTHER, EVEN IF INFORMED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SECTION 2 OF SCHEDULE B.

14. FORCE MAJEUR. No party shall be liable by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations due to strikes, riots, fires, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action or any other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of such party and which such party addresses with reasonable diligence and speed.

This Agreement shall not be modified, amended or in any way altered except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties.

17. WAIVER. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; no shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereby or by law.

The "Project" is comprised of the Building, the other building located on the Land, known as 1150 Lake Hearn Drive (the "Other Building"; the Building and the Other Building being hereinafter sometimes collectively called the "Buildings"), the Land, the Buildings' parking facilities, any walkways, covered walkways, tunnels or other means of access to the Building and the Buildings' parking facilities, all common areas, including any lobbies or plazas, and any other improvements or landscaping now or hereafter located on the Land. No rights to any parking spaces are granted under this Lease; however, Tenant and Tenant's employees, invitees and licensees shall be entitled to use, on a non-exclusive basis in common with other tenants of the Building or adjacent buildings, the surface parking facilities located from time to time adjacent to the Building and owned by Landlord. Such use of the parking facilities shall be subject to any and all rules and regulations established by Landlord with respect to the parking facilities. Landlord, at Landlord's sole discretion and upon completion of a parking deck, with ninety (90) days prior written notice, may charge parking fees for deck parking at rates commensurate with those charged by comparable office buildings with parking decks in the area, and Tenant and Tenant's invitees and licensees shall be required to pay such fees, provided that surface parking shall remain free of charge for Tenants, and invitees and licensees of Tenant. Anything to the contrary in this Lease notwithstanding, Landlord reserves the right and privilege to, from time to time, alter, increase and reduce the location, structure and layout of the Project, including, but not limited to, the parking areas and other common areas.

3. TERM. The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall commence on

the Commencement Date, and, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Lease, shall end on the expiration of the period designated

2

in Article 1(j) above. Promptly after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall send to Tenant a Tenant Acceptance Agreement in the form of EXHIBIT "C" attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, specifying the Commencement Date, the Rental Commencement Date, the date of expiration of the Lease Term in accordance with Article 1(j) above and certain other matters as therein set forth.

4. POSSESSION. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the initial leasehold improvements to the Demised Premises are set forth in the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT "D" and by this reference made a part hereof. Tenant agrees to comply with all of the terms and provisions of the Tenant Improvement Agreement. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Demised Premises are not substantially completed by the Commencement Date, or if Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damages. No delay in delivery of possession shall operate to relieve Tenant of Tenant's obligations to Landlord, except where such delay results in an adjustment of the Commencement Date and the Rental Commencement Date pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement. Landlord shall be deemed to have delivered possession of the Demised Premises for Tenant's occupancy on the date upon which Landlord has notified Tenant that the "Work", as that term is defined in the Tenant Improvement Agreement, is substantially complete, subject only to completion of items customarily classified as "punchlist items" in the construction industry and delays or incomplete items caused by Tenant (such date hereinafter referred to as the "Occupancy Date"). Within ten (10) days after the Occupancy Date, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a Tenant Acceptance Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT "C". Tenant may state in such Tenant Acceptance Agreement any defects in the Demised Premises remaining to be repaired or completed by Landlord ("Punchlist Items"), provided, however, that acceptance by Landlord of the Tenant Acceptance Agreement with a statement of Punchlist Items shall not constitute the agreement of Landlord to repair or complete any Punchlist Items not included in the "Working Drawings," as that term is defined in the Tenant Improvement Agreement. Upon the earlier of delivery of the Tenant Acceptance Agreement by Tenant or occupancy of the Demised Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived objection to any defects not enumerated in a Tenant Acceptance Agreement, except for latent defects not discoverable by reasonable diligence of Tenant and of which Tenant gives Landlord written notice within one (1) year after the Occupancy Date. Tenant shall be deemed to have waived objection to any defects of any nature if a Tenant Acceptance Agreement is not executed and delivered within ten (10) days after the Occupancy Date.

5. BASE RENTAL.

(a) Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord during the Lease Term the amounts specified in Article 1(k) (as adjusted from time to time, the "Base Rental") as base rent for the Premises. The Base Rental shall be paid in equal monthly installments in advance, without demand, deduction or set off, on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term. A prorated monthly installment shall be paid in advance on the Rental Commencement Date for any fraction of a month if the Rental Commencement Date occurs on any day other than the first day of any month and on the first day of the final month of the Lease Term for any fraction of a month if the Lease Term shall expire or terminate on any day other than the last day of any month.

(b) The Base Rental for the first year of the Lease Term is set forth in Article 1(k) above. On each anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Base Rental shall be increased to an amount equal to the product of: (i) the amount of Base Rental for the previous calendar year (or portion thereof adjusted to reflect an annual rental) multiplied by (ii) the Increase Multiplier.

(c) Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord during the Lease Term such sums as are referred to herein as "Additional Rental" when due, without demand, deduction or set off. As used herein, the term "Rent" shall mean Base Rental, Additional Rental, and any other amounts due from Tenant hereunder. Any sums payable to Landlord by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed Additional Rental, and Landlord shall have all of the remedies upon default as it does for failure to pay Base Rental.

6. RENTAL DEPOSIT. Landlord acknowledges that it has received from Tenant the amount specified in Article 1(o) above (the "Rental Deposit"), which sum shall be retained by Landlord, without obligation for interest, as security for the performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall have no obligation to segregate such Rental Deposit from any other funds of Landlord. The Rental Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, if Tenant has fully performed its obligations hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to apply any part of said Rental Deposit to cure any default of Tenant and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall upon demand deposit with Landlord the amount so applied so that Landlord shall have the full Rental Deposit on hand at all times during the Lease Term. If there is a sale or lease of the Building subject to this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Rental Deposit to the vendee or lessee, and Landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of such Rental Deposit. Tenant shall look solely to the successor Landlord for the return of said Rental Deposit. This provision shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Rental Deposit to a successor Landlord. The Rental Deposit shall not be assigned or encumbered by Tenant without the prior consent of Landlord and any such unapproved assignment or encumbrance shall be void.

7. ADDITIONAL RENTAL. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rental, Tenant's Percentage Share of the amount, if any, by which Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) for any calendar year exceed $1,545,147.50 ($6.50/rentable square foot of the Buildings). The Additional Rental payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined, and paid in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) During each December of the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its estimate of Additional Rental payable under this Article 7 for the ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated amounts together with the Base Rental, provided that if such notice is not given in December, Tenant shall continue to pay such Additional Rental during the ensuing calendar year on the basis of the amounts payable during the calendar year just ended, until the month after such notice is given.

(ii) As soon as practicable after the close of each calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the adjustments to be made for the calendar year just ended. Such statement shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant absent manifest error. If on the basis of such statement Tenant's Percentage Share of the actual increase in Operating Expenses for such calendar year is an amount that is less than the estimated payments actually made by Tenant for such calendar year, Landlord shall credit such excess to the next payments of Additional Rental coming due. If on the basis of such statement Tenant's Percentage Share of the actual increase in Operating Expenses for such calendar year is an amount greater that the estimated payments actually made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rental the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement.

(iii) If this Lease shall commence, expire or terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of Additional Rental payable during the first or final calendar year of the Lease Term, as the case may be, shall be prorated based on the actual number of days of the Lease Term during such calendar year. The expiration or termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant to be performed after such expiration or termination, pursuant to this Article 7.

8. OPERATING EXPENSES. For purposes of this Lease, "Operating Expenses" shall mean all costs and expenses of the ownership operation, maintenance, repair, ad valorem taxes, management, and security of the Project of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, all amounts, including interest thereon if such amounts are borrowed, spent by Landlord to reduce Operating Expenses, comply with government regulations, promote safety or maintain the status of the Project, calculated on an accrual basis. Operating Expenses shall specifically include an annual replacement reserve ("Annual Replacement Reserve"). For the calendar year 1995, the Annual Replacement Reserve shall be $142,629.00 ($.60/rentable square foot of the Buildings). Each calendar year thereafter the Annual Replacement Reserve shall be increased by the Increase Multiplier. Operating Expenses shall not include (i) depreciation on the Buildings and personal property, (ii) Tenant Costs (as defined in

4

the Tenant Improvement Agreement), (iii) payments by Landlord of interest and principal on any mortgage secured by the Project or any portion thereof, (iv) the cost of special services rendered to a particular tenant of the Buildings, which are paid or reimbursed by such tenant, and (v) leasing commissions. If the average occupancy level was less than ninety five percent (95%) of the total Rentable Floor Area of the Buildings during a calendar year, the Operating Expenses for that calendar year shall be adjusted to an amount equal to Landlord's computation of Operating Expenses had ninety-five percent (95%) of the total Rentable Floor Area of the Buildings been occupied, and the amount so computed shall be deemed to be "Operating Expenses" for the purpose of computing Additional Rental.

9. SERVICES BY LANDLORD. Landlord agrees to provide to Tenant the following services:

(a) General cleaning and janitorial service required as a result of normal, prudent use of the Demised Premises and only on Mondays through Fridays, inclusive, with New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and such other holidays which are observed locally by national banks (herein collectively called the "Holidays") excepted.

Landlord's consent for Tenant's use of such equipment shall be conditioned upon Tenant and Landlord agreeing upon the amount Tenant shall pay each month for increased electrical consumption.

(e) Water shall be provided to the Demised Premises in an amount sufficient for private toilets and for hand washing. The cost of any water used in excess of such amount shall be reimbursed to Landlord on demand as Additional Rental, with the amount and cost of such excess determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

(b) Tenant covenants and agrees that it will take good care of the Demised Premises and all alterations, additions and improvements thereto and will keep and maintain the same in good condition and repair, except for normal wear and tear.

Landlord's liability with respect to any defects, repairs or maintenance for which Landlord is responsible under any of the provisions of this Lease shall be limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance or the curing of such defect. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damage to person or property caused by any latent defects in the Building or the Demised Premises, defects in the cooling, heating, electric, water, elevator or other apparatus or systems or by water discharged from sprinkler systems, if any, in the Building or the Demised Premises, nor for the theft, mysterious disappearance, or loss of the Building.

Tenant shall not install X-ray machines or other equipment which emits radiation in the Demised Premises without Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Tenant hereby accepts the risks of and all responsibility for any injury or damage which may result from the operation or failure of operation of any such X-ray equipment or other equipment which emits radiation. All equipment owned or operated by Tenant must be installed and protected in a manner satisfactory to Landlord and in compliance with all governmental regulations.

Demised Premises (other than standard 2x4 lights), and the furnishing of toilet paper and paper towels to toilets and sinks located within the Demised Premises shall be at Tenant's expense.

(d) Tenant agrees to conform to Landlord's signage program for the Building; however, all costs and expenses for any sign, sign installation, removal and repair shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall obtain the written approval of Landlord prior to placing and maintaining, or causing or permitting to be placed and maintained, any sign, advertising matter or other thing of any kind, on the exterior of the Demised Premises, or any decorating, lettering or advertising matter on any exterior door to the Demised Premises. Tenant shall not affix or attach anything to windows in the Demised Premises.

16. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO ENTRY. Landlord shall retain duplicate keys to all doors of the Demised Premises, and Landlord and its agents, employees and independent contractors shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises at reasonable hours to inspect and examine same, to make repairs, additions, alterations and improvements, to exhibit the Demised Premises to mortgagees, prospective mortgagees, purchasers or tenants, and to inspect the Demised Premises to ascertain that Tenant is complying with all of its covenants and obligations hereunder, all without being liable to Tenant in any manner whatsoever for any damages arising therefrom; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, afford Tenant such prior notification of an entry into the Demised Premises as shall be reasonably practicable under the circumstances. Landlord shall be allowed to take into and through the Demised Premises any and all materials that may be required to make such repairs, additions, alterations or improvements. During such time as such work is being carried on, in or about the Demised Premises, the Rent provided herein shall not abate, and Tenant waives any claim or cause of action against Landlord for damages by reason of interruption of Tenant's business or loss of profits therefrom because of the prosecution of any such work or any part thereof. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Demised Premises.

17. INSURANCE. Tenant shall procure at its expense and maintain throughout the Lease Term a policy or policies of commercial property insurance, issued on an "all risks" basis insuring the full replacement cost of its furniture, equipment, supplies and other property owned, leased, held or possessed by it and contained in the Demised Premises, together with the excess value of the improvements to the Demised Premises over the Tenant Improvement Allowance (with a replacement cost endorsement sufficient to prevent Tenant from becoming a co-insurer), and workmen's compensation insurance as required by applicable law. Tenant shall also procure at its expense and maintain throughout the Lease Term a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance, written on an occurrence basis and insuring Tenant, Landlord and any other person designated by Landlord, against any and all liability for injury to or death of a person or persons and for damage to property occasioned by or arising out of any construction work being done on the Demised Premises, or arising out of the condition, use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, or in any way occasioned by or arising out of the activities of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, guests or licensees in the Demised Premises, or other portions of the Building or the Project, the limits of such policy or policies to be in combined single limits for both damage to property and personal injury and in amounts not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for each occurrence. Such insurance shall, in addition, extend to any liability of Tenant arising out of the indemnities provided for in this Lease. Tenant shall also carry such other types of insurance in form and amount which Landlord shall reasonably deem to be prudent for Tenant to carry. All insurance policies procured and maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Article 17 shall name Landlord and any additional parties designated by Landlord as additional insured, shall be carried with companies licensed to do business in the State of Georgia reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall be non-cancelable and not subject to material change except after twenty (20) days' written notice to Landlord. Such policies or duly executed certificates of insurance with respect thereto, accompanies by proof of payment of the premium therefor, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Rental Commencement Date, and renewals of such policies shall be delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each respective policy term.

18. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant shall each have included in all policies of commercial property insurance, and business interruption and other property insurance respectively obtained by them covering the Demised Premises, the Building and contents therein, a waiver by the insurer of all right of

8

subrogation against the other in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Any additional premium for such waiver shall be paid by the primary insured. To the full extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant each waives all right of recovery against the other for, and releases the other from liability for, loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage is covered by valid and collectable insurance in effect at the time of such loss or damage or would be covered by the insurance required to be maintained under this Lease by the party seeking recovery.

19. DEFAULT.

(a) The following events shall be deemed to have events of default by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Rent or any other chare or assessment against Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof within five (5) days after the due date thereof; (ii) Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision, covenant or warranty made under this Lease by Tenant, other than the payment of the Rent or any other charge or assessment payable by Tenant, and shall not cure such failure within forty-five (45) days after notice thereof to Tenant; (iii) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition in any proceeding seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file an answer admitting, or fail timely to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding; (iv) a proceeding is commenced against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, and such proceeding shall not have been dismissed within fifteen (15) days after the commencement thereof; (v) a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the Demised Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or of any guarantor of this Lease;
(vi) Tenant shall abandon or vacate all or any portion of the Demised Premises or fail to take possession thereof as provided in this Lease; (vii) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which crates a lien upon the Demised Premises or the Project and such lien is not removed or discharged within fifteen (15) days after the filing thereof; (viii) Tenant shall fail to return a properly executed instrument to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 hereof within the time period provided for such return following Landlord's request for same as provided in Article 27; or (ix) Tenant shall fail to return a properly executed estoppel certificate to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Article 28 hereof within the time period provided for such return following Landlord's request for same as provided in Article 28.

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

9

re-letting, and Tenant shall be liable for Landlord's expenses in redecorating and restoring the Demised Premises and all costs incident to such re-letting, including broker's commissions and lease assumptions, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any rentals received by Landlord in excess of the amounts due by Tenant hereunder; or (iii) enter upon the Demised Premises by force, if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by negligence of Landlord or otherwise. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord as a result of the occurrence of an event of default, Landlord may declare the entire amount of Rent and other charges and assessments which in Landlord's reasonable determination would become due and payable during the remainder of the Lease Term (including, but not limited to, increases in Rent pursuant to Article 7 hereof), discounted to present value by using a discount factor of eight percent (8%) per annum, to be due and payable immediately. Upon the acceleration of such amounts, Tenant agrees to pay the same at once, together with all Rent and other charges and assessments theretofore due, at Landlord's address as provided herein; provided, however, that such payment shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture but shall constitute liquidated damages for Tenant's failure to comply with the terms and provisions of this Lease (Landlord and Tenant agreeing that Landlord's actual damages in such an event are impossible to ascertain and that the amount set forth above is a reasonable estimate thereof). Upon making the entire such payment, Tenant shall receive from Landlord all rents received by Landlord from other tenants renting the Demised Premises or any portion thereof during the Lease Term (with appropriate allocations of such rents in the event such other tenants lease space in addition to the Demised Premises), provided that the monies to which Tenant shall so become entitled shall in no event exceed the entire amount actually paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the preceding sentence, less all of Landlord's costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Landlord's expenses in redecorating and restoring the Demised Premises and all costs incident to such reletting, including broker's commissions and lease assumptions) incurred in connection with or in any way related to the reletting of the Demised Premises.

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

20. WAVIER OF BREACH. No waiver of any breach of the covenants, warranties, agreements, provisions, or conditions contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver of said covenant, warranty, provision, agreement or condition or of any subsequent breach thereof, and if any breach shall occur and afterwards be compromised, settled or adjusted, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if no breach occurred.

21. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not, without prior written consent of Landlord, assign this Lease or any interest herein or in the Demised Premises, or mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or permit the use of the Demised Premises by any party other than Tenant. Consent to one or more such transfers or subleases shall not destroy or waive this provision, and all subsequent transfers and subleases shall likewise be made only upon obtaining the

10

prior written consent of Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing prohibition, in no event shall Tenant assign this Lease or any interest herein, whether directly, indirectly or by operation of law, or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or permit the use of the Demised Premises or any part thereof by any party if such proposed assignment, subletting or use would contravene any restrictive covenant (including any exclusive use) granted to any other tenant of the Building or would contravene the provision of Article 13 of this Lease. Subleasees, assignees or transferees of the Demised Premises for the balance of the Lease Term shall become directly liable to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, without relieving Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder) of any liability therefor, and Tenant shall remain obligated, as a principal and not as surety, for all liability to Landlord arising under this Lease during the entire remaining Lease Term including any extensions thereof, whether or not authorized herein. If Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, a withdrawal or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of partners or members owning a controlling interest in the Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease and subject to the foregoing provisions. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or transfer of a controlling interest in the capital stock of Tenant, whether in a single transaction or in a series of transactions, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease and subject to the foregoing provisions. Landlord may, as a prior condition to considering any request for consent to an assignment or sublease, require Tenant to obtain and submit current financial statements of any proposed subtenant or assignee and such other financial documentation relative to the proposed subtenant or assignee as Landlord may reasonably require. In the event Landlord consents to an assignment or sublease, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord a fee to cover Landlord's accounting costs plus any legal fees incurred by Landlord as a result of the assignment or sublease. The consent of Landlord to any proposed assignment or sublease may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. Landlord may require an additional security deposit from the assignee or subtenant as a condition of its consent. Any consideration, in excess of the Rent and other charges and sums due and payable by Tenant under this Lease, paid to Tenant by any assignee of this Lease for its assignment, or by any sublessee under or in connection with its sublease, or otherwise paid to Tenant by another party for use and occupancy of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, shall be promptly remitted by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder and Tenant shall have no right or claim thereto as against Landlord. No assignment of this Lease consented to by Landlord shall be effective unless and until Landlord shall receive an original assignment and assumption agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, signed by Tenant and Tenant's proposed assignee, whereby the assignee assumes due performance of this Lease to be done and performed for the balance of the then remaining Lease Term of this Lease. No subletting of the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, shall be effective unless and until there shall have been delivered to Landlord an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, signed by Tenant and the proposed sublessee, whereby the sublessee acknowledges the right of Landlord to continue or terminate any sublease, in Landlord's sole discretion, upon termination of this Lease, and such sublessee agrees to recognize and attorn to Landlord in the event that Landlord elects under such circumstances to continue such sublease. Upon Landlord's receipt of a request by Tenant to assign this Lease or any interest herein or in the Demised Premises or to transfer or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or permit the use of the Demised Premises by any party other than Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's option, to exercise in writing any of the following options: (a) to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Demised Premises proposed to be assigned or sublet; (b) to consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Article 21; or (c) to refuse to consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, which refusal shall be deemed to have been exercised unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice providing otherwise.

22. DESTRUCTION.

(a) If the Demised Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, the same shall be repaired or rebuilt as speedily as practical under the circumstances at the expense of Landlord, unless this Lease is terminated as provided in this Article 22, and during the period required for restoration, a just and proportionate part of Base Rental shall be abated until the Demised Premises are repaired or rebuilt.

(b) If (i) the Demised Premises or the Project are damaged to such an extent that repairs cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the commencement of

11

repair of the casualty, or (ii) the Demised Premises or the Project are damaged or destroyed as a result of a risk which is not insured under the insurance policies required hereunder, or (iii) the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, or (iv) if the Project is damaged in whole or in part (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged) to such an extent that the Project cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be operated economically as an integral unit, then and in any such event Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the day of such occurrence. If the Demised Premises are damaged to such an extent that repairs cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the commencement of repair of the casualty or if the Demised Premises are substantially damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, then in either such event Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the date of such occurrence. Unless Landlord or Tenant elects to terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided, this Lease will remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall repair such damage at its expense to the extent required under subparagraph (c) below as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances.

(c) If Landlord should elect or be obligated pursuant to subparagraph (a) above to repair or rebuild because of any damage or destruction, Landlord's obligation shall be limited to the original Building and any other work or improvements which were originally performed or installed at Landlord's expense as described in Exhibit "D" hereto or with the proceeds of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. If the cost of performing such repairs exceeds the actual proceeds of insurance paid or payable to Landlord on account of such casualty, or if Landlord's mortgagee or the lessor under a ground or underlying lease shall require that any insurance proceeds from a casualty loss be paid to it, Landlord may terminate this Lease unless Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, deposits with Landlord a sum of money sufficient to pay the difference between the cost of repair and the proceeds of the insurance available to Landlord for such purpose.

(d) In no event shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage substained by Tenant by reason of casualties mentioned hereinabove or any other accidental casualty. In no event shall Landlord be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any tenant improvements or any personal property, equipment, or trade fixtures which belong to Tenant.

(e) Any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to the Building or the Demised Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance.

(f) If any such casualty stated in this Article 22 occurs, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for inconvenience, annoyance, loss of profits, expenses, or any other type of injury or damage resulting from the repair of any such damage, or from any repair, modification, arranging, or rearranging of any portion of the Demised Premises or any part or all of the Building or for termination of this Lease as provided in this Article 22.

(g) Anything in this Article 22 to the contrary notwithstanding, for purposes of this Article 22, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence any repair or restoration unless and until insurance proceeds are actually received by Landlord, and Landlord's restoration obligations shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord therefor and which the holder of any mortgage or deed to secure debt encumbering any portion of the Building, or the ground lessor under any ground lease affecting any portion of the Building, permit Landlord to apply toward the restoration of the Building.

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 Demised 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 and all of the covenants, warranties, agreements and conditions hereof. Said personal property shall not be removed from the Demised 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 provision hereof 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

12

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.

24. NOT USED.

25. ATTORNEY'S FEES AND HOMESTEAD. If any Rent or other debt owing by Tenant to Landlord hereunder is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Tenant agrees to pay an additional amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of such sum as attorneys' fees. If Landlord uses the services of any attorney in order to secure compliance with any other provisions of this Lease, to recover damages for any breach or default of any other provisions of this Lease, or to terminate this Lease or evict Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all attorneys' fees and expenses so incurred by Landlord. Tenant waives all homestead rights and exemptions which it may have under any law as against any obligation owing under this Lease, and assigns to Landlord its homestead and exemptions to the extent necessary to secure payment and performance of its covenants and agreements hereunder.

26. TIME. Time is of the essence of this Lease and whenever a certain day

is stated for payment or performance of any obligation of Tenant or Landlord, the same enters into and becomes a part of the consideration hereof.

27. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

(a) Tenant agrees that this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or underlying lease which may now or hereafter be in effect regarding the Project or any component thereof, to any mortgage now or hereafter encumbering the Demised Premises or the Project or any component thereof, to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgage, to all amendments, modifications, renewals, consolidations, extensions and restatements of such mortgage, and to any replacements and substitutions for such mortgage. The terms of this provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. Tenant, however, upon request of any party in interest, shall execute promptly such instrument or certificates as may be reasonably required to carry out the intent hereof, whether said requirement is that of Landlord or any other party in interest, including, without limitation, any mortgagee. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority as attorney-in-fact for Tenant and in Tenant's name, place and stead, to subordinate Tenant's interest under this Lease to the lien or security title of any mortgage and to any future instrument amending, modifying, renewing, consolidating, extending, restating, replacing or substituting any such mortgage.

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

(c) In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage covering the Demised Premises or the Project, or in the event the interests of Landlord under this Lease shall be transferred by reason of deed in lieu of foreclosure or other legal proceedings, or in the event of termination of any lease under which Landlord may hold title, Tenant shall, at the option of the transferee or purchase at foreclosure or under power of sale, or the lessor of the Landlord upon such lease termination, as the case may be (sometimes hereinafter call "such person"), attorn to such person and shall recognize and be bound and obligated hereunder to such person as the Landlord under this Lease; provided, however, that no such person shall be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease

13

(and then only if such prepayments have been deposited with and are under the control of such person); (ii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the express written consent of the mortgagee or lessor of the Landlord, as the case may be; (iii) obligated to cure any defaults under this Lease of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (iv) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (v) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (vi) bound by any warranty or representation of any prior landlord (including Landlord) relating to work performed by any prior landlord (including Landlord) under this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute any attornment agreement not in conflict herewith requested by Landlord, the mortgagee or such person. Tenant's obligation to attorn to such person shall survive the exercise of any such power of sale, foreclosure or other proceeding. Tenant agrees that the institution of any suit, action or other proceeding by any mortgagee to realize on Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises or the Project, or any portion thereof pursuant to the powers granted to a mortgagee under its mortgage, shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, result in the cancellation or termination of the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord and Tenant agree that notwithstanding that this Lease is expressly subject and subordinate to any mortgages, any mortgagee, its successors and assigns, or other holder of a mortgage or of a note secured thereby, may sell the Demised Premises or the Project, or any portion thereof in the manner provided in the mortgage and may, at the option of such mortgagee, its successors and assigns, or other holder of the mortgage or note secured thereby, make such sale of the Demised Premises or Project subject to this Lease.

28. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within ten (10) days after request therefor by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord in recordable form an estoppel certificate addressed to Landlord, any mortgagee or assignee of Landlord's interest in, or purchaser of, the Demise Premises or the Project or any part thereof, certifying (if such be the case) that this Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect (and if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating said modifications); that there are no defenses or offsets against the enforcement thereof or stating those claimed by tenant; and stating the date to which Rent and other charges have been paid. Such certificate shall also include such other information as may reasonably be required by such mortgagee, proposed mortgagee, assignee, purchaser or Landlord. Any such certificate may be relied upon by Landlord, any mortgagee, proposed mortgagee, assignee, purchaser and any other party to whom such certificate is addressed.

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

30. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All rights, power and privilege conferred hereunder upon the parties hereto shall be cumulative to, but not restrictive of, or in lieu of those conferred by law.

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

32. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Demised Premises and every part thereof and all alterations, additions and improvements thereto, broom clean and in good condition and state of repair, reasonable wear and tear only excepted. If Tenant is not then in default, Tenant shall removal all personalty and equipment not attached to the Demised Premises which it has placed upon the Demised Premises and which Tenant is entitled to remove in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall restore the Demised Premises to the condition immediately preceding the time of placement thereof. If Tenant shall fail or refuse to remove all of Tenant's

14

effects, personalty and equipment from the Demised Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever or upon Tenant being dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, such effects, personalty and equipment shall be deemed conclusively to be abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, store, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without written notice to Tenant or any other party and without obligation to account for them. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand any and all expenses incurred by Landlord in the removal of such property, including, without limitation, the cost of repairing any damage to the Building or Project caused by the removal of such property and storage charges (if Landlord elects to store such property). The covenants and conditions of this Article 32 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.

33. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been fully given, whether actually received or not, when delivered in person, or deposited with an overnight commercial courier, or deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States Mail, certified, return receipt requested, and addressed to Landlord or Tenant at their respective address set forth hereinabove or at such other address as either party shall have theretofore given to the other by notice as herein provided. Tenant hereby designates and appoints as its agent to receive notice of all distraint proceedings and all other notices required under this Lease, the person in charge of the Demised Premises at the time said notice is given or occupying said Demised Premises at said time; and, if no person is in charge of or occupying the said Demised Premises, then such service or notice may be made by attaching the same, in lieu of mailing, on the main entrance to the Demised Premises.

34. DAMAGE OR THEFT OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. All personal property brought into the Demised Premises by Tenant, or Tenant's employees, agents, or business visitors, shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and Landlord shall not be liable for theft thereof or any damage thereto occasioned by any act of co-tenants, occupants, invitees or other users of the Building or any other person. Landlord shall not at any time be liable for damage to any property in or upon the Demised Premises, which results from gas, smoke, water, rain, ice or snow which issues or leaks from or forms upon any part of the Building or from the pipes or plumbing work of the same, or from any other place whatsoever.

35. EMINENT DOMAIN.

(a) If all or part of the Demised Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use by virtue of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and, in the case of a partial taking, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the Demised Premises by written notice to Tenant if, in Landlord's judgment, the taking would prevent or materially impair the use of the Project or the Demised Premises or if an adequate award is not made available to Landlord for restoration. If title to so much of the Project is taken that a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof will not in Landlord's sole discretion result in the Building being a practical improvement and reasonably suitable for use for the purpose for which it is designed, then this Lease shall terminate on the date that the condemning authority actually takes possession of the part so condemned or purchased.

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

(c) If there is a partial taking of the Project and this Lease is not thereupon terminated under the provisions of this Article 35, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Landlord shall, within a reasonable time thereafter, repair or reconstruct the remaining portion of the Building to the extent necessary to

make the same a complete architectural unit; provided, that in complying with its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall not be required to expend more than the net proceeds of the condemnation award which are paid to Landlord, to the extent the holder of any mortgage or ground lessor under any ground lease permits such award to be applied to restoration. Upon any such partial taking, Landlord shall have the right to reduce the rent-stop figure described in Article 7 hereof by an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of tax savings arising from such partial taking, as determined by Landlord in its sole but reasonable discretion, divided by the number of square feet of Rentable Floor Area of the Building, multiplied by (y) the number of square feet of Rentable Floor Area of the Demised Premises.

(d) All compensation awarded or paid to Landlord upon a total or partial taking of the Demised Premises or the Project shall belong to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant. Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority for loss of business, for damage to, and cost of removal of, trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property belonging to Tenant, and for the unamortized cost of leasehold improvements to the extent the same were installed at Tenant's expense (and not with the proceeds of the Tenant Improvement Allowance); provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or adversely affect Landlord's award.

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

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

37. LIABILITY OF TENANT. Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord from and agrees to hold Landlord harmless against, any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, imposed on Landlord by any person whomsoever, caused in whole or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, or any of its employees, contractors, servants, agents, subtenants, assignees, representatives or invitees, or otherwise occurring in connection with any default of Tenant hereunder. The provisions of this Article 37 shall survive any termination of this Lease.

38. RELOCATION OF THE PREMISES. Landlord reserves the right at any time or from time to time, at its option and upon giving not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Tenant, to transfer and remove Tenant from the Demised Premises herein specified to any other available rooms and offices in the Project (or other building in the development of which the Building is a part). Landlord shall bear the expense of said removal together with the reasonable expense of replacement business cards and stationery and the expense of any necessary renovation or alterations to said substituted space, as calculated by Landlord. If Landlord exercises

16

such option, then the substituted space shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to be and to constitute the Demised Premises under this Lease and all terms, conditions, covenants, warranties, agreements and provisions of this Lease including but not limited to the same Base Rental Rate per square foot of Rentable Floor Area shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply to the substituted space. Tenant agrees to vacate the Demised Premises herein specified and relocate to said substituted space promptly after the substituted space is ready for Tenant's occupancy as provided herein, and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an event of default by Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant has not relocated its premises within sixty (60) days after Landlord first notifies Tenant of Landlord's desire to relocate Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice of such termination to Tenant. Such termination shall be effective upon any date selected by Landlord in the Termination Notice which is at least ten (10) days after the Termination Notice is given by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby further covenants and agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Landlord any lease amendment and other such document appropriate to reflect the changes in the Lease described or contemplated above.

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

40. LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Landlord shall have no personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease. If Landlord is in default with respect to its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in and to the Building and the Land for satisfaction of Tenant's remedies, if any. It is expressly understood and agreed that Landlord's liability under the terms of this Lease shall in no event exceed the amount of its interest in and to said Land and Building. In no event shall any partner of Landlord nor any joint venturer in Landlord, nor any officer, director or shareholder of Landlord or any such partner or joint venturer of Landlord be personally liable with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce this obligation of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that any final judgment or decree shall be enforceable against Landlord only to the extent of Landlord's interest in the Building, as aforesaid, and any such judgement or decree shall not be capable of execution against, nor be a lien on, any assets of Landlord other than its interest in the Building, as aforesaid.

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

42. GUARANTY. In order to induce Landlord to execute this Lease, and for other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties identified as "Guarantors" on the signature page of this Lease (collectively, jointly and severally referred to as the Guarantors") agree to enter into and simultaneously with the execution of this Lease have entered into a Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "H".

43. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not cause or permit any "Hazardous Substances" (as hereinafter defined) to be generated, placed, held, stored, used, located or

17

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

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

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

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

The parties hereto do hereby acknowledge and agree that Meadows & Ohly, Inc. has acted as agent for Landlord in this transaction and shall be paid a commission by Landlord in connection with this transaction pursuant to the terms of a separate written commission agreement.

TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT made as of the 16th day of September, 1996 between Pavilion Partners, L.P., Georgia Limited Partnership ("Landlord") and Quality Diagnostic Cardiology Services, Inc. ("Tenant").

The terms "Plans", "Work", "Space Plan", "Working Drawings", "Finish Selections" and "Landlord's Space Planner" are defined in Section XIII, below. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.

I. BASIC TERMS

II. BASIC AGREEMENT. On or before the "Date To Complete Planning" described above, Tenant shall: (a) provide Space Planner with all information concerning Tenant's requirements in order for Space Planner to prepare the Plans, and (b) arrange for Space Planner to prepare the Plans, and obtain Landlord's written approval thereof. However, Tenant shall not be responsible for delays caused solely by Landlord or Landlord's Space Planner, as further described in Section III, below.

On or before the Commencement Date set forth in Article 1 of the Lease, Landlord shall substantially complete the Work shown on the final approval Plans. However, Landlord shall not be responsible for delays caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents or employees and as further described in Section IV, below.

As a part of the Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall bear the cost of the Plans (including any engineering reports, or other studies or tests in connection therewith, but excluding any furniture planning) provided that the cost of the Plans together with the costs of Space Plan Revisions (as stipulated I.E. above) and Working Drawing Revisions (as stipulated in I.F. above) shall not exceed the Improvement Allowance.

Landlord shall bear the cost of the Work (including the cost of building permits and sales tax) up to the Improvement Allowance described above (if any), less that part of the Improvement Allowance (if any) applied to the cost of the Plans, and Tenant shall bear any costs over such amounts.

26

III. DELAYS IN PLANNING. The Commencement Date under the Lease shall be postponed on a day for day basis by the number of days occurring after the "Date to Complete Planning" described above until the date the Final Plans, including any revisions reasonably required by Landlord pursuant to Section V and revisions by Tenant to reduce Tenant's Cost pursuant to Section IX, are approved (collectively called "Delays in Planning"). However, the Rental Commencement Date shall be postponed only to the extent that substantial completion of the Work is delayed beyond the Commencement Date set forth in the Lease Summary of the Lease as a result of one or more of the following events (collectively called "Landlord Delays"):

A. Landlord takes more than five (5) working days to approve or disapprove the Plans or revisions thereof after receiving the same (or such longer time as may be reasonably required in order to obtain any engineering or HVAC report or due to other special or unusual features of the Work or Plans);

B. Landlord's Space Planner takes more than five (5) working days to meet with Tenant after receiving a written request for a meeting, or takes more than seven (7) working days to prepare or revise the Plans after meeting with Tenant and receiving all information from Tenant required in order to do so (provided this provision shall apply only if Tenant uses "Landlord's Space Planner" as described in Section XIV below to prepare the Plans); or

C. Landlord takes more than thirty (30) working days to provide Tenant with cost estimates after receiving Plans sufficiently detailed for such purposes (provided this provision (c) shall only apply if Landlord elects to provide cost estimates under
Section IX below).

IV. DELAYS IN CONSTRUCTION.

A. Lease shall be postponed for each day that Landlord fails to substantially complete the Work thereby as a result of strikes, acts of God, shortages of materials or labor, governmental approvals or requirements, the various causes set forth below, or any other causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control.

B. The Commencement Date, but not the Rental Commencement Date, shall be postponed as a result of one or more of the following (collectively called "Tenant Delays"):

(1) Delays in Planning as described above (except for Landlord Delays);

(2) Tenant's requests for changes to the Work or Change Orders under
Section VIII, or

(3) Tenant's failure to furnish an amount equal to Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Cost (if any) within 10 days, as described in Section IX (which shall give Landlord the absolute right to postpone the Work until such amount is furnished to Landlord);

(4) Tenant's requirement of any upgrades, special work or other non- building standard items, or items not customarily provided by Landlord to office tenants, to the extent that the same involve longer lead times, installation times, delays or difficulties in obtaining building permits, requirements for any governmental approval, permit or action beyond the issuance of normal building permits (as described in Section VI), or other delays not typically encountered in connection with Landlord's standard office improvements;

(5) The performance by Tenant or Tenant's agents or employees of any work at or about the Premises, or

27

(6) any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's agents or employees, or any breach by Tenant of any provision contained in this Agreement or in the Lease, or any failure of Tenant to cooperate with Landlord or otherwise act in good faith in order to cause the Work to be designed and performed in a timely manner.

V. LANDLORD'S APPROVAL OF PLANS. Landlord shall either approve any Plans or revisions submitted pursuant to this Agreement or disapprove the same with suggestions for making the same acceptable within the time required under
Section III. Except as otherwise provided herein, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold approval if the Plans provide for a customary office layout, with finishes and materials generally conforming to building standard finishes and materials currently being used by Landlord at the Building, are compatible with the Building's shell and core construction, and if no modifications will be required for the Building's electrical, heating, air- conditioning, ventilation, plumbing, fire protection, life safety, or other systems or equipment, and will not require any structural modifications to the Building, whether required by heavy loads or otherwise. Landlord may request that Tenant approve Landlord's suggested changes in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), or Landlord may arrange directly with Space Planner for revised Plans to be prepared incorporating such suggestions (in which case, Tenant shall sign or initial the revised Plans and/or Landlord's notice) concerning the suggested changes, if requested by Landlord). Landlord's approval of the Plans shall not be deemed a warranty as to the adequacy or legality of the design, and Landlord hereby disclaims any responsibility or liability for the same. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord may in its absolute discretion elect to disapprove any proposed Plans which show (i) the rentable area of the Premises being more than ten percent (10%) smaller than the Rentable Floor Area of Demised Premises, as defined in Article 1 of the Lease; and (ii) any reduction in the rentable area of the Premises from the Rentable Floor Area of the Demised Premises indicated in Article 1 of the Lease where such reduction results in a space remaining between Tenant's space and any other party wall, exterior wall or corridor partition, which in the sole opinion of Landlord, would leave an unusable or unleaseable area due to its size, configuration or location. Furthermore, in the event that the proposed Plans show a rentable area of the Premises greater than the Rentable Floor Area of the Demised Premises as set forth in Article 1 of the Lease, Landlord may, in its absolute discretion, elect to disapprove such Plans if the configuration of the Premises shown on such Plans infringes on any area of the Building reserved for others, being designed for others, or being constructed for others, or to the extent that such increase leaves a remaining unleased area which, in the sole opinion of Landlord, would be unleaseable due to its location, size or configuration.

VI. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL OF PLANS. Landlord shall apply for any normal building permits required for the Work which are issued pursuant to a local building code as a ministerial matter. If the Plans must be revised in order to obtain such building permits, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant. In such case, Tenant shall promptly arrange for the plans to be revised to satisfy the building permit requirements and shall submit the revised Plans to Landlord for approval as a Change Order under Section VIII. Landlord shall have no obligation to apply for any zoning, parking or sign code amendments, approvals, permits or variances, or any other governmental approval, permit or action (except normal building permits as described above). If any such other matters are required, Tenant shall promptly seek to satisfy such requirements or revise the Plans to eliminate such requirements. Delays in substantially completing the Work by the Commencement Date as a result of requirements for building permits or other governmental approvals, permits or actions shall affect the Commencement Date and the Rental Commencement Date to the extent provided in Section IV(B).

VII. CHANGES AFTER PLANS ARE APPROVED. If Tenant shall desire any changes, alterations, or additions to the final Plans after they have been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall submit a detailed written request or revised Plans (the "Change Order") to Landlord for approval. If reasonable and practicable and generally consistent with the Plans theretofore approved, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold approval, but all costs in connection therewith, including without limitation construction costs, permit fees, and any additional plans, drawing and engineering reports or other studies or tests, or revisions of such existing items, shall be paid for by Tenant as a Tenant's Cost under Section IX.

28

VIII. UNUSED IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. If all or any portion of any Improvement Allowance shall not be used, Tenant shall be entitled to the savings and Tenant shall receive a credit therefor to Base Rental.

IX. TENANT'S COST.

A. Any amounts that Tenant is required to pay under this Agreement shall be referred to as "Tenant's Costs" herein. Tenant's Cost shall be deemed Additional Rental under the Lease. Tenant shall deposit the estimated amount of such Additional Rental with Landlord within 10 days after requested by Landlord. In connection with submitting any cost analysis to Tenant under this Section, Landlord may request Tenant's written approval of such analysis. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold such approval, and shall approve or disapprove the same in writing within five (5) days after requested by Landlord. If Tenant reasonably disapproved any such analysis, Tenant shall meet with the Space Planner and eliminate or substitute items in order to reduce Tenant's Cost.

B. Any cost analysis based on a Space Plan or so-called "pricing plan" will be preliminary in nature to the extent that: (1) Tenant thereafter makes changes in the Working Drawings or the Work, (2) overtime labor is required in order to substantially complete the Work by the Work Completion Date, (3) concealed conditions are encountered on the job site, (4) new legal requirements become effective following preparation of the estimate, or (5) there are strikes, acts of God, shortages of materials or labor, or other causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control.

Guarantor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of Georgia for the enforcement of this guaranty and waives any and all personal rights under the laws of the State of Georgia or the United States to object to jurisdiction within the State of Georgia for the purposes of litigation to enforce this guaranty.

344 DeClaire Way

Marietta, GA 30067

Nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord from bringing any action or exercising any rights against any security given to Landlord by Tenant or Guarantor, or against Guarantor personally, or against any property of Guarantor, within any other state. Commencement of any such action or proceeding in any other state shall not constitute a waiver of the agreement that the laws of the State of Georgia shall govern the rights and obligations of Guarantor and Landlord hereunder or of the submission made by Guarantor to personal jurisdiction within the State of Georgia. The aforesaid means of obtaining personal jurisdiction and perfecting service of process are not intended to be exclusive but are cumulative and in addition to all other means of obtaining personal jurisdiction and perfecting service of process now or hereafter provided by the laws of the State of Georgia.

For the purposes of this Sublease only, from and after the Commencement Date, and only with respect to matters first accruing thereafter, Subtenant hereby assumes all of the responsibilities and obligations to be performed on the part of Sublandlord as tenant under the Master Lease with respect to the

-1-

Premises for the entire Sublease Term (other than the obligations to pay rent and additional rent and other amounts which are governed by this Sublease). Subtenant covenants and agrees not to do, permit or allow, by anyone under Subtenant's control, any act which would violate or constitute a breach of or a default under the Master Lease. Upon any breach by Subtenant of any of the terms, covenants, or agreements to be performed or observed under this Sublease by Subtenant, which breach is not cured within the applicable notice and cure period under the Master Lease, Sublandlord may exercise any of the rights given to the Landlord under the Master Lease, subject to the limitations thereof and hereof, and the exercise thereof shall not be in derogation of, but shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Sublandlord, hereunder or under law or equity.

4. Termination

In the event the Master Lease is terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the expiration of the term of this Sublease, this Sublease shall automatically cease and terminate as of the date upon which the Master Lease is terminated. Upon any such termination of the Master Lease, all rent due hereunder shall be prorated from the first day of the month of termination. Neither party, provided it is not responsible for a default causing such termination, shall have any further obligation or liability to the other arising out of this Sublease except for the payment by Subtenant of such amounts of rent as so prorated and any other amounts accrued as of the date of termination, and except for rights or obligations that had accrued prior to the effective date of the termination of this Sublease. To the extent that Sublandlord has over (30) days' notice of such termination, Sublandlord agrees to give Subtenant reasonable notice at least thirty (30) days prior to any such termination date, and shall in any event forward any such notice of termination to Subtenant promptly upon receipt.

5. Rent

A. Base Rental

Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord the Base Rental, as defined in the Master Lease, for the Premises during the Sublease Term which, as of the date hereof, is $3,328.00 per month. The Base Rental shall be payable in advance in equal monthly installments beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing on the 25th day of each and every month thereafter ("Due Date"), during the Sublease Term, without demand, deduction, set-off or abatement whatsoever. Said payments of Base Rental shall be made directly to Sublandlord at the address of Sublandlord set forth herein. Appropriate prorations shall be made in the event the Commencement Date is not a Due Date or in the event that the Sublease terminates prior to a Due Date.

B. Additional Rental

Subtenant shall also pay Sublandlord, any and all Additional Rental, as defined in the Master Lease, as and when the same shall become due and payable under the provisions of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall remit the Additional Rental for each month to Sublandlord on the Due Date of the successive month which, as of the date hereof, is $0.00 per month. Any year-end adjustment of Additional Rental pursuant to Section 7(ii) or (iii) of the Master Lease shall be prorated between Sublandlord and Subtenant based on Commencement or Termination Date, as the case may be and at the time of adjustment between Landlord and Sublandlord for any full calendar year.

-2-

C. Late Charge

Any rental amounts not received within five (5) days of when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month until paid.

6. Condition of Premises

Subtenant represents that it has made a thorough examination and inspection of the Premises and is familiar with the condition of such property, and Subtenant agrees to accept the Premises in their "as is" condition, as of the date of this Sublease. Subtenant agrees that it enters into this Sublease without any representations or warranties by Sublandlord, its agents, representatives, servants or employees or any other person, as to the condition or use by Subtenant of the Premises.

7. Exclusion from Master Lease

The following Articles or Sections of the Master Lease are expressly excluded from this Sublease and shall not apply to Subtenant: any renewal options, or options to lease additional space in the Building, or rights of first refusal with regard to space in the Building. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees the such rights are personal to Sublandlord and that Subtenant shall have no rights to exercise such options and renewals, if any, contained in the Master Lease.

8. Services, Utilities, Maintenance and airs

Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall provide, only via the Landlord, maintenance or repair of the Premises, utilities or services described as being provided by the Landlord in the Master Lease. Subtenant agrees that, in cooperation with the Sublandlord, it shall look solely to the Landlord and not to Sublandlord for the rendition of all such services and the performance of all obligations required to be furnished and performed in the Premises. Subtenant shall receive directly from the Landlord all services and utilities and the performance of all obligations which the Landlord is required to provide in and for the benefit of the Premises, and Sublandlord shall have no liability whatsoever in the event that Landlord fails to furnish or perform any such services or obligations during the Sublease Term. However, Sublandlord agrees to cooperate with Subtenant in good faith, in dealings with and notices to Landlord regarding services, utilities, maintenance and repair of the Premises.

9. Additional Services

Subtenant covenants and agrees to pay any fees and expenses assessed by Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease resulting from Subtenant's use and occupancy of the Premises. In addition, if other services not provided by Landlord (the "Other Services") are obtained for the benefit of Subtenant, Subtenant shall bear all of such costs, and Sublandlord agrees to cooperate with Subtenant, to the extent reasonably requested, in obtaining such Other Services, provided same are at no cost to Sublandlord.

10. Use of Premises

Subtenant shall use the Premises only for the "Permitted Use" as defined in the Master Lease, and shall not use the Premises for any use or purpose which would violate the Master Lease. Subtenant shall not change the use of the Premises without the prior written consent of the Sublandlord, in its reasonable discretion and Landlord, in the manner provided in the Master Lease. During the Sublease Term, Subtenant agrees to assume any responsibility previously borne by Sublandlord in its capacity as tenant under the Master Lease regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act,

-3-

and the legal use or adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof to all applicable laws and regulations enforced during the Sublease Term; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall be responsible for and shall indemnify and hold harmless Subtenant with respect to all such compliance of the Premises up to the Commencement Date.

11. Alterations

Subtenant shall make no alterations, additions, installations or improvements of any kind ("Alterations") to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord (in accordance with the Master Lease) and Sublandlord, in its reasonable discretion. Any Alterations made to the Premises with consent shall be at the sole cost and expense of Subtenant, and Subtenant agrees to restore the Premises to their condition as of the Commencement Date at its sole cost if so requested by Sublandlord or Landlord at the end of the Sublease Term. Any and all approved Alterations shall be made in conformity with the applicable terms and conditions of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall submit its proposed Alterations, simultaneously to Landlord and Sublandlord for consent, subject to the provisions of the Master Lease.

12. Assignment and Subletting

A. Consent Required

Subtenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease or the Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord (in accordance with the apple provisions of the Master Lease) and Sublandlord, in Sublandlord's reasonable discretion. Any actual or attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of this Sublease, subject to the applicable notice and cure provisions of the Master Lease.

B. No Release

Regardless of any consent by Sublandlord, no subletting or assignment shall release Subtenant of Subtenant's obligation, or alter the primary liability of Subtenant to pay the Base Rental, Additional Rental, and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Subtenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Sublandlord from any other person shall not be deemed a waiver by Sublandlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by any assignee of Subtenant or any successor of Subtenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Sublandlord may proceed directly against Subtenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee or such additional sublessee.

C. Fees

In the event Subtenant shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Sublandlord to any assignment or subletting, or if Subtenant shall request the consent of Sublandlord for any act that Subtenant proposes to do, then Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for any fees Sublandlord is required to pay as tenant pursuant to the Master Lease, by reason of such act. Should Sublandlord be required to pay any sums to Landlord to obtain Landlord's approval of this Sublease, Subtenant shall not be required to reimburse Sublandlord for any such sums.

-4-

13. Consents and Approvals

Sublandlord shall not be liable for any damages if Sublandlord withholds or delays any consent or approval requested by Subtenant, and as to any consent or approval which the Sublandlord has agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold or delay, Subtenant shall have only the remedy of specific performance or injunction.

14. Indemnity

Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord and the Landlord from and against any and all claims arising from Subtenant's use of the Premises, or from the conduct of Subtenant's business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or allowed by Subtenant in or about the Premises or the Project (as defined in the Lease), and shall further indemnify and hold harmless the Sublandlord and the Landlord from and against any all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Subtenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Sublease, or arising from any negligence of Subtenant or any of Subtenant's agents, contractors, or employees, and from and against all costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. Subtenant agrees that should any action or proceeding be brought against Sublandlord or the Landlord by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Sublandlord or the Landlord, Subtenant shall defend the same at Subtenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord.

Subtenant, as a material part of the consideration to Sublandlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises arising from Subtenant's use of the Premises, and Subtenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Sublandlord. Subtenant hereby agrees that Sublandlord shall not be liable for injury to Subtenant's business or any loss of income therefrom, or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Subtenant, Subtenant's shareholders, employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the Premises, nor shall Sublandlord be liable for injury to any person including Subtenant's shareholders, employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon portions of the Building, or from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Subtenant. Sublandlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act, omission or neglect of the Landlord or any tenant of the Building.

15. Insurance

Sublandlord shall have no obligation to provide insurance or perform any repair, replacement, or any other requirement imposed upon the Landlord as landlord pursuant to the Master Lease in the event of damage to all of or any part of the Building. Subtenant shall obtain and maintain insurance policies identical to those required to be maintained by Sublandlord as tenant pursuant to the Master Lease and Sublandlord and Landlord shall be named as additional insureds. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that the Landlord and Sublandlord shall not be responsible or liable to Subtenant for any loss or damage at the Premises.

-5-

16. Estoppel Certificate

A. Requirements

Subtenant shall, at any time, upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice from Sublandlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublandlord a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Sublease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Sublease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the extent to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Subtenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Sublandlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective assignee or mortgagees of the Premises.

B. Failure to Comply

Subtenant's failure to provide such statement within such times shall be a default by Subtenant under this Sublease, and shall be conclusive upon Subtenant

Fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne by the party against whom the arbitration shall be determined, or in such proportions as the arbitrator shall designate.

Sublandlord warrants and represents to Subtenant that it has dealt with no broker or real estate agent or made no agreement or created any liability with respect to this Sublease and/or the Premises or in connection with the payment of brokerage or other commissions to anyone, and Sublandlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Subtenant harmless from and against all liability, cost, or expense rising out of the claims of any other broker or real estate agent claiming by, through or under Sublandlord for a commission in connection with this Sublease and/or the transaction contemplated by this Sublease.

29. Consents Required

This Sublease is expressly conditioned upon the written consent of the Landlord. Upon execution of this Sublease, Sublandlord will promptly request such written consent. If such consent has not been received by Sublandlord within (30) days from the date of hereof, then, at the option of either party, upon written notice to the other at anytime after such 30-day period, this Sublease shall be deemed canceled, null and void and of no further force and effect, and neither party shall have any claim of any kind or nature against the other provided such notice is sent before the Landlord's written consent is delivered to Sublandlord. In no event shall Sublandlord be obligated to deliver possession of the Premises to Subtenant until the date upon which Sublandlord notifies Subtenant that it has received the written consent of the Landlord; however, there shall be an equitable abatement of rent until delivery of possession of the Premises to Subtenant. Subtenant shall have no liability if this Sublease is terminated due to such lack of consent.

30. Condition of Premises on Termination

Upon the expiration or other termination of the Sublease Term, Subtenant covenants and agrees that it shall quit and surrender the Premises in the condition existing as of the Commencement Date, shall remove all of Subtenant's personal property therefrom (except such items, including, without limitation, such fixtures, equipment, improvements and Alterations, which are required to remain a part of the Premises pursuant to the Master Lease), and shall make any repairs or restorations required by reason of each removal to put the Premises in such condition.

31. Waivers

No waiver by Sublandlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Subtenant of the same or any provision. The consent or approval by Sublandlord of any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary obtaining subsequent consent or approval from Sublandlord or any subsequent act by Subtenant. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Sublandlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Subtenant of any provision hereof, regardless of knowledge by Sublandlord of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

32. Recording

-9-

33. Holding Over

Subtenant shall have no right to hold over at the Premises beyond the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Sublease. If Subtenant remains in possession after the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term without the express written consent of Sublandlord, such occupancy shall, at the Sublandlord's option, be deemed an act of trespass. In the event of any such holdover, Subtenant shall pay as liquidated damages (and not as rent) all amounts payable by Sublandlord to Landlord incurred as a result of such holdover, including but not limited to all amounts payable by Sublandlord to the Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease as a result of such continued occupancy by Subtenant. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Sublandlord's rights to forcibly evict Subtenant, or any other rights or remedies available to Sublandlord. No receipt of money by Sublandlord form Subtenant after expiration or termination of this Sublease shall reinstate or extend this Sublease.

34. Cumulative Remedies

No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

35. Covenants and Conditions

Each provision of this Sublease performable by Subtenant shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

36. Choice of Law

This Sublease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflicts of laws.

37. Attorneys' Fees

In the event Sublandlord, without any fault on its part, is a party to any proceeding, including litigation, commenced by or against Subtenant or by or against any parties in possession of the Premises or any part thereof claiming under Subtenant, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by or imposed by or upon Sublandlord in connection with such proceeding, and the costs of enforcement of this Sublease against Subtenant.

38. Sublandlord's Access

Sublandlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times, upon reasonable notice to Subtenant, for the purpose of inspecting the Premises and showing the Premises to prospective assignees, lenders or lessees, all without undue interruption to Subtenant's business. In addition, Sublandlord shall have the right to enter the Premises to perform such actions as are required of it as tenant pursuant to the Master Lease. Subject to the above, and provided Subtenant is not in default hereunder (subject to any applicable notice and cure period under the Master Lease) or under the Master Lease, Sublandlord covenants that Subtenant shall have the right to possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises during the term of this Sublease. Sublandlord shall take no action or fail to take a required action

-10-

which would cause a default under the Master Lease and shall indemnify and hold harmless Subtenant from all loss, cost, damage, action, liability and expenses incurred by Subtenant as a result thereof.

39. Security Deposit

Upon the execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the sum of $0.00 as security for Subtenant's performance of its obligations under

this Sublease. Upon termination of this Sublease, provided Subtenant is not then in default of any of the terms hereof, the security deposit shall be returned to Subtenant, without interest, less any amounts due Sublandlord upon termination.

40. Corporate Authority

Each individual executing this Sublease on behalf of Subtenant or Sublandlord represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Sublease on behalf of such party.

The undersigned Landlord does hereby consent to the subleasing of the Premises by Sublandlord to Subtenant pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the within and foregoing Sublease, subject to the following terms conditions:

1. Landlord's consent shall not in any manner release Sublandlord from, or relieve Sublandlord of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, requirements, provisions or restrictions set forth in the Lease, or from the full and complete payment and performance of all duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of Sublandlord under the Lease, whenever arising, for which Sublandlord shall remain liable and responsible in all respects, as principal and not as surety.

2. Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that the Sublease is, and shall at all times be and remain, in all respects, subject and subordinate to the Lease and all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, requirements, provisions or restrictions set forth in the Lease.

3. Upon a default by Sublandlord in the payment of any base rental, additional rent or other amounts due under the Lease, or upon any other default by Sublandlord under the Lease, Landlord shall have, in addition to its other rights and remedies under the Lease, the right to collect and receive from Subtenant, upon written demand from Landlord to Sublandlord and Subtenant at the addresses for notices set forth in the Sublease, any rental due and payable under the Sublease by Subtenant to Sublandlord. Any such sums so collected and received shall be applied by Landlord to any amounts due from Sublandlord under the Lease in such order as Landlord elects and in furtherance of the foregoing. Sublandlord hereby assigns to Landlord the rent and other sums due from Subtenant and hereby authorizes and directs Subtenant to pay such rent directly to Landlord; provided, however, that, until the occurrence of a default under the Lease, Sublandlord shall have the license to continue collecting such rent from Subtenant; and, provided further, however, it is agreed that for all purposes Landlord is not a party to the Sublease. Landlord shall not have the right to demand payment from Subtenant of any amounts paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord prior to receipt of notice from Landlord as provided herein.

Upon default by Sublandlord under the Lease and the subsequent termination of the Lease by Landlord, at the option of Landlord, Subtenant shall be bound under the terms and conditions of the Sublease with the same force and effect as if Landlord were the original sublessor, and Subtenant agrees to execute any attornment agreement requested by Landlord not in conflict herewith.

5. The consent by Landlord to the Sublease shall not be deemed an approval of any future assignment of the Lease or the Sublease, or of any subsequent subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof; and any such future assignment or subletting shall be made subject to Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion, and any such assignment or subletting without the written consent of Landlord shall be null and void. No assignment of the Lease or the Sublease, and no subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof, shall in any manner release Sublandlord from, or relieve Sublandlord of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, requirements, provisions or restrictions set forth in the Lease, or from the full and complete payment and performance of all duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of Sublandlord under the Lease, whenever arising,

for which Sublandlord shall remain liable and responsible in all respects, as principal and not as surety.

6. By consenting to the Sublease, Landlord in no way agrees to perform or to be obligated to perform any services for the benefit of Subtenant under the Sublease, but Landlord shall continue to provide services to the Premises (as part of the Premises) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease. Subtenant shall have no rights or claims against Landlord, but shall instead look solely to Sublandlord for any such claims, except as may arise after Landlord exercises its rights under
Section 4 hereof.

7. This Consent shall not be deemed to create any contractual or other relationship between Landlord and Subtenant.

8. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree by their acceptance of this Consent that the Sublease shall not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of Landlord, and that the Lease remains in full force and effect without modification and is binding on Sublandlord, as lessee thereunder, and Sublandlord hereby ratifies and affirms the same. This Consent and Agreement does not constitute recognition of any deviations, alteration or substitutions from the terms and conditions of the Lease.

GUARANTY

KNOWN ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:

In consideration of the subletting by Quality Diagnostic Services, Inc. ("Sublandlord") to Card Guard USA, Inc. ("Subtenant") pursuant to Sublease Agreement dated March ____, 1998 (the "Sublease") of the premises described therein, the delivery of which Sublease is conditioned upon the execution and delivery of this guaranty ("Guaranty"), and the payment of One Dollar ($1.00) to the undersigned by Sublandlord, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the undersigned, the undersigned (hereinafter collectively called the "Guarantor") does hereby unconditionally guarantee the full, prompt and complete performance by Subtenant of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be performed, including specifically, without limitation, the obligation to pay all rents and any other charges or obligations therein set forth, together with any and all renewal or renewals, extension or extensions, modification or modifications thereof, and substitution or substitutions therefor (all such obligations being hereinafter called the "Obligations").

Guarantor waives presentment, demand, dishonor, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices whatsoever, including, without limitation, notices of acceptance hereof, of the existence or creation of the Obligations, and of all defaults, disputes or controversies with Subtenant, and of the settlement, compromise or adjustments thereof. Guarantor agrees that Sublandlord shall have full authority, without obtaining the consent of, giving notice to, or affecting the liability of Guarantor, to make changes of terms, to extend time to pay, to release the whole or any part of the Obligations, to settle or compound differences for less than the full amount owing under the Lease, to accept notes, trade acceptances or any other form of obligation for the Obligations, to make arrangements or settlements in or out of court in the case of receivership, liquidation, readjustment, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or an assignment for the benefit of creditors and to do anything, whether or not herein specified, which may be done or waived by or between Sublandlord and Subtenant. The making of such arrangements, settlements, compromises, adjustments, extensions of time and so forth shall not diminish, discharge, modify, reduce, extinguish or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder for the full amount owing under the Sublease. Guarantor further agrees that no act or omission on the part of Sublandlord shall in any way affect, impede or impair this Guaranty.

This Guaranty shall be enforceable without Sublandlord having (i) to proceed against Subtenant (any right to require Sublandlord to take action against Subtenant as required by O.C.G.A. (S) 10-7-24 being hereby expressly waived) or against any security for any payments due under the Lease, or (ii) to exercise any of Sublandlord's remedies under the Sublease, and shall be effective regardless of the solvency or insolvency of Subtenant, any reorganization, merger or consolidation of Subtenant, any change in the composition, nature, personnel or location of Subtenant, or any bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other proceeding involving Subtenant.

16

This Guaranty shall be binding upon and enforceable against each person and entity executing this Guaranty and upon the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each such person and entity. The liability of each person and entity executing this Guaranty and the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each such entity and person hereunder is joint and several, primary and unconditional, and shall not be subject to any claim of offset, counterclaim or defense of Subtenant.

This Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect as to Guarantor until such time as all of the Obligations shall have been paid or satisfied in full. No delay or failure on the part of Sublandlord in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Sublandlord of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall not be affected by reason of assertion by Sublandlord against Subtenant of any rights or remedies reserved to Sublandlord in the Sublease, or by reason of any summary or other proceedings against Subtenant, or by the amendment or modification of the Sublease with or without notice to, or consent of, the Guarantor.

This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect, and Guarantor shall continue to be liable for the payment of all amounts owing under the Sublease in accordance with the original terms of the documents and instruments evidencing the same, notwithstanding the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding by or against Subtenant, and notwithstanding any modification, discharge or extension of the Obligations, any modification or amendment of any document or instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, any stay of the exercise by Sublandlord of any of its rights and remedies against Subtenant with respect to any of the Obligations, or any cure of any default by Subtenant under any document or instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, which may be effected in connection with any such proceeding, whether permanent or temporary, and notwithstanding any assent thereto by Sublandlord.

Sublandlord may, without notice of any kind, sell, assign or transfer the Sublease, and in such event each and every immediate and successive assignee, transferee or holder of the Sublease shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such assignee, transferee or holder, as fully as if such person were herein by name specifically give such rights, powers and benefits, but Sublandlord shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this Guaranty for its benefit as to so much of the Obligations as Sublandlord has not sold, assigned or transferred.

This Guaranty has been made and delivered in the State of Georgia and shall be governed by, construed under and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

Guarantor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of Georgia for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights under the laws of the State of Georgia or the United States to object to jurisdiction within the State of Georgia for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty. In the event that such litigation is commenced, Guarantor agrees that service of process may be made, and personal jurisdiction over Guarantor obtained, by the serving of a copy of the summons and complaint upon Subtenant, as agent for Guarantor, at 1100 Lake Hearn Drive, Suite 370, Atlanta, Georgia, and with a copy to its counsel, Rogers & Hardin, L.L.P. at 2700

International Tower, 229 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, Attention: Michael Rosenzweig. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Sublandlord from bringing any action or exercising any rights against any security given to Sublandlord by Subtenant or Guarantor, or against Guarantor personally, or against any property of Guarantor, within any other state. Commencement of any such action or proceeding in any other state shall not constitute a waiver of the agreement that the laws of the State of Georgia shall govern the rights and obligations of Guarantor and Sublandlord hereunder or of the submission made by Guarantor to personal jurisdiction within the State of Georgia. The aforesaid means of obtaining personal jurisdiction and perfecting service of process are not intended to be exclusive but are cumulative and in addition to all other means of obtaining personal jurisdiction and perfecting service of process now or hereafter provided by the laws of the State of Georgia.

Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall have no right to recover against Subtenant by way of subrogation to the rights of Sublandlord on account of any payment by Guarantor to Sublandlord hereunder until all of the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full, and Guarantor hereby subordinates any such rights of subrogation to such extent.

If Guarantor is a corporation or other business entity, Guarantor and the persons executing this Guaranty as officers or representatives of the Guarantor represent that Guarantor has full corporate authority to execute this Guaranty and that the officers executing this Guaranty are duly authorized to execute this Guaranty on behalf of the Guarantor, and that there is no provision in Guarantor's charter, bylaws or other governing document that in any way conflicts with or prevents the execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor. Guarantor further represents that there is no provision of any other agreement by which Guarantor is bound that in any way conflicts with or prevents the execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor.

(ii) In the event that Executive's employment with WebMD shall be terminated by WebMD for Cause (as defined in Section 3.1) after September 30, 1999 or at any time without Cause, all then outstanding and unexercised Options shall become exercisable in full as of the date such notice of termination was given by WebMD and shall remain exercisable in full for a

5

period of 120 days after the date such notice of termination was given by WebMD.

Furthermore, if no registration statement filed under the 1933 Act for a public offering of any series of WebMD's Common Stock has become effective, then WebMD in its sole discretion may repurchase any shares of Common Stock purchased by Executive through the exercise of any Options for an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock. Any such repurchase of the shares of Common Stock shall be accomplished within 180 days after the date such notice of termination was given by WebMD.

(iii) In the event Executive's employment with WebMD shall be terminated by WebMD for Cause on or before September 30, 1999, all then outstanding Options will be canceled.

(iv) The Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, Series D, on the date specified by WebMD shall mean (i) the closing sales price of the Common Stock of WebMD on such date on the national securities exchange (treating the Nasdaq National Market System as a national securities exchange) having the greatest volume of trading in the Common Stock during the thirty (30) day period preceding the day the value is to be determined or, if such exchange was not open for trading on such date, the next preceding date on which it was open;
(ii) if the Common Stock is not traded on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices of the Common Stock on the over-the-counter market, in arms-length transactions not involving an affiliate of WebMD, on the day such value is to be determined, or in the absence of closing bids on such day, the closing bids on the next preceding day on which there were bids; (iii) if

6

the Common Stock also is not traded on the over-the-counter market, the average net proceeds per share received or the price paid by WebMD with respect to shares of Common Stock of any series sold or purchased by WebMD in arms length transactions during the ninety (90) days preceding the day the value is to be determined; or (iv) if no such purchases or sale transactions by WebMD have occurred within such ninety (90) day period, the Fair Market Value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of WebMD based on (a) such r
