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

A G R E E M E N T :

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows.

1. Defined Terms. Except as explicitly set forth in this Ninth Amendment, each
initially capitalized term when used herein shall have the same respective
meaning as is set forth in the Lease.

2. Premises.

2.1 Give-Back Space.

2.1.1 In General. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that,
effective as of December 20, 2007 (the “Give-Back Date”), notwithstanding
anything in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall vacate and surrender and
deliver exclusive possession of (i) 21,831 rentable square feet of space located
on the 8th floor of the Building, (ii) 21,811 rentable square feet of space
located on the 9th floor of the Building, and (iii) 21,794 rentable square feet
of space located on the 10th floor of the Building, all as more particularly set
forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto (collectively, the “Give-Back Space”), in
accordance with the terms of the Lease, as hereby amended, and the Lease, with
respect to the Give-Back Space only, shall terminate and be of no further force
or effect. Accordingly, effective as of the date immediately following the
Give-Back Date, (a) the Give Back Space shall not be a part of the Premises, and
Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations under the
Lease with respect to the Give-Back Space, except those obligations under the
Lease which relate to the term of Tenant’s lease of the Give-Back Space and/or
any liability of Tenant for obligations that relate to such term which
specifically survive the expiration of the Lease, including, without limitation,
the payment of all Rent due with respect to the Give-Back Space up to and
including the Give-Back Date, and (b) the “Premises” shall consist of 65,390
rentable square feet of space (the “Remaining Premises”), provided that the
parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the rentable square footage of the
Existing Premises shall further reduce as of the “7th Floor Contraction
Effective Date”, as that term is defined in the Eighth Amendment, subject to and
in accordance with the terms of the Eighth Amendment. Tenant hereby acknowledges
and agrees that Tenant shall cause all of Tenant’s furniture and other personal
property to be removed from the 7th Floor Expansion Space prior to the
expiration date applicable to Tenant’s lease of such space. Landlord and Tenant
hereby acknowledge and agree that the rentable square footage of the Remaining
Premises shall be as set forth in this Section 2.2.1 and shall not be subject to
remeasurement or modification.

2.1.2 Representations of Tenant. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that
with respect to the Give-Back Space (a) Tenant has not heretofore sublet the
Give-Back Space nor assigned all or any portion of its interest in the Lease
with respect thereto, (b) no other person, firm or entity has any right, title
or interest in the Lease with respect to the Give-Back Space, and (c) Tenant has
the full right, legal power and actual authority to enter into this Ninth
Amendment and to terminate the Lease with respect to the Give-Back Space without
the

 

-2-

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

consent of any person, firm or entity. Tenant further represents and warrants to
Landlord that as of the date hereof there are no, and as of the Give-Back Date,
there shall not be any, mechanics’ liens, or other liens encumbering all or any
portion of the Give-Back Space, by virtue of any act or omission on the part of
Tenant, its predecessors, contractors, agents, employees, successors, assigns or
subtenants. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.1.2
shall survive the termination of the Lease with respect to the Give-Back Space
and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any inaccuracies or any breach
thereof.

2.2 Remaining Premises. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall,
following the Give-Back Date, continue to accept the Remaining Premises in its
currently existing, “as is” condition, and Landlord shall not be obligated to
provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement
of the Remaining Premises, provided that the foregoing shall alter or modify any
Landlord repair and maintenance and/or compliance with law obligations as and to
the extent set forth in the Lease. Tenant also acknowledges that neither
Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty
regarding the condition of the Remaining Premises or with respect to the
suitability of the Remaining Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business.

3. Rent. Prior to the Give-Back Date, Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

3.1 Base Rent. Effective as of the date immediately following the Give-Back Date
and continuing through and including the Termination Date (which is February 28,
2013), Tenant shall pay monthly installments of Base Rent for the Remaining
Premises in the amounts set forth below in accordance with the terms of the
Lease.

 

Period

   Annual Base Rent
Per Rentable
Square Foot   

Monthly

Base Rent

January 1, 2008 – February 29, 2008

   $ 25.00    $ 136,229.17

March 1, 2008 – July 31, 2008

   $ 21.60    $ 117,702.00

August 1, 2008 – February 28, 2009

   $ 21.60    $ 78,366.60

March 1, 2009 – February 28, 2010

   $ 22.25    $ 80,724.85

March 1, 2010 – February 28, 2011

   $ 22.92    $ 83,155.67

March 1, 2011 – February 29, 2012

   $ 23.61    $ 85,659.05

March 1, 2012 – February 28, 2013

   $ 24.32    $ 88,234.99

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, so long as Tenant
is not in monetary default beyond an applicable cure period under the Lease, as
amended hereby, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of monthly Base Rent
(i) in the amount of $117,702.00 per month for

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

each month commencing with March, 2008 and continuing through and including
July, 2008, and (ii) in the amount of $78,366.60 for the month of August, 2008
(collectively, the “Abated Base Rent”). If Tenant defaults in a monetary
obligation under the Lease, as amended hereby, at any time during the Term and
fails to cure such default within any applicable cure period, all Abated Base
Rent shall immediately become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord. The payment
by Tenant of the Abated Base Rent in the event of a monetary default shall not
limit or affect any of Landlord’s other rights pursuant to the Lease, as amended
hereby, or at law or in equity. During the period commending as of March 1, 2008
and continuing through and including August 31, 2008, only Base Rent shall abate
(as and to the extent provided for herein) and any other costs and charges
specified in the Lease, as amended hereby, shall remain as due and payable
pursuant to the provisions of the Lease, as amended hereby. Landlord and Tenant
hereby acknowledge and agree that the foregoing abated Base Rent is in lieu of
any other Base Rent abatement provided in the Lease, specifically including the
Base Rent abatement provided for in the last paragraphs of Section 3.02 and 3.03
of the Sixth Amendment.

3.2 Expenses and Taxes. Effective as of the date immediately following the
Give-Back Date and continuing through and including the July 31, 2008, Tenant
shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes in accordance with the
terms of the Lease; provided, however, that Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall equal
13.84%. Effective as of August 1, 2008 and continuing through and including the
Termination Date, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes
in accordance with the terms of the Lease; provided, however, that Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share shall equal 9.22%.

4. Parking. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Spaces
that Tenant leases pursuant to the terms of the Lease shall be reduced based
upon the termination of Tenant’s lease of the Give-Back Space in accordance with
the terms hereof in accordance with the terms of Section I of Exhibit E to the
Office Lease.

5. Letter of Credit. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that,
notwithstanding the termination of Tenant’s lease of the Give-Back Space in
accordance with the terms hereof, the “Letter of Credit Amount,” as that term is
defined in Section 6 of the Eighth Amendment, shall not be subject to reduction
as a result of or in connection therewith.

6. Motricity Lease; LOCs.

6.1 Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) pursuant to the
terms of the “Motricity Lease”, as that term is defined, below, “Motricity”, as
that term is defined, below, is obligated to provide or to cause Tenant to
provide three letters of credit to Landlord, one in the amount of $1,832,434.90,
one in the amount of $366,487.10, and one in the amount of $2,240,092.40
(collectively, the “LOCs”), and (ii) at Tenant’s request, Landlord has agreed to
permit the LOCs to be provided to Landlord on or before January 31, 2008, rather
than concurrently herewith as desired by Landlord, upon and subject to the terms
of this Section 6. In consideration of the foregoing and Landlord’s execution of
this Ninth Amendment, Tenant shall, concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this
Ninth Amendment, deposit cash with Landlord in the amount of $6,658,521.60 (the
“Cash Payment”), which amount represents one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
aggregate amount of the LOCs. For each LOC that Landlord receives on or before
January 31, 2008, and within five (5) business days after such receipt, Landlord
shall

 

-4-

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

return to Tenant that amount of the Cash Payment which represents one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of the LOC so received. In the event that Landlord does not
receive one or more of the LOCs by January 31, 2008, Landlord shall be permitted
to retain, for its own account, from the Cash Payment one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the amount associated with the LOC(s) not delivered by such date (the
“Retained Cash”), in which event (i) neither Tenant nor Motricity shall have any
further obligation to provide the LOC(s) associated with such Cash Payment drawn
and retained by Landlord, and (ii) Tenant shall have no interest in or right
with respect to the Retained Cash and the same shall be the sole and exclusive
property of Landlord. In addition, if Landlord does not receive all three LOCs
on or before January 31, 2008, Section 6.6 of the Eighth Amendment (which
provides for a reduction in the “Letter of Credit Amount,” as that term is
defined in the Eighth Amendment) shall be deleted in its entirety and shall be
of no further force and effect (the parties hereby agreeing that, in such event,
the Letter of Credit provided by Tenant under the Eighth Amendment shall not be
subject to reduction). Landlord hereby preapproves Bank of America (the “Bank”)
as prospective issuer of the LOCs and agrees that each of the LOCs shall be in a
form that is substantially similar to that which is required by the Motricity
Lease or in another form acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable
discretion. For purposes of this Ninth Amendment, the “Motricity Lease” shall
mean that certain Office Lease, dated as of the date hereof, between Landlord,
as landlord, and Motricity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Motricity”), as
tenant, with respect to certain space in the Building.

6.2 Landlord and Tenant further agree and acknowledge that the LOCs are to be
drawn upon pursuant to the terms of the Motricity Lease. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that Landlord shall draw
upon any LOC provided by Tenant, Tenant shall be under no obligation to provide
Landlord with replacement letter(s) of credit or otherwise restore the amounts
of the same, provided that nothing contained herein shall limit, reduce or alter
Motricity’s obligation to restore the LOCs, as and to the extent provided for in
the Motricity Lease.

6.3 FAILURE TO DELIVER LOCs; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT THAT THE LOCs ARE
NOT DELIVERED BEFORE JANUARY 31, 2008, THEN THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE
IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED
BY LANDLORD AS A RESULT OF THE SAME, TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT
(I) LANDLORD WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COLLECT “SECONDARY RENT”, AS THAT TERM IS
DEFINED IN THE MOTRICITY LEASE, IN THE MANNER AND PURSUANT TO THE TIMING DESIRED
BY LANDLORD AND CONTEMPLATED BY THE MOTRICITY LEASE, (II) LANDLORD WILL NOT HAVE
THE LEASE SECURITY UNDER THE MOTRICITY LEASE BARGAINED FOR BY LANDLORD AND
CONTEMPLATED BY THE MOTRICITY LEASE, AND (III) LANDLORD WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED TO
THE TERMS OF THIS NINTH AMENDMENT (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY THE TERMINATION OF
TENANT’S LEASE OF THE GIVE-BACK SPACE) BUT FOR LANDLORD’S EXPECTATION THAT
LANDLORD WOULD RECEIVE THE LOCs BY JANUARY 31, 2008. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS NINTH AMENDMENT, THE LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES (I.E., LANDLORD’S RETENTION OF THE CASH PAYMENT AS AND TO THE EXTENT
PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 6) REPRESENT A REASONABLE

 

-5-

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

ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH LANDLORD WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF
LANDLORD TO TIMELY RECEIVE THE LOCs. FURTHER, THE RETENTION BY LANDLORD OF THE
AMOUNTS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS A
REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF LANDLORD’S DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE
PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY
WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO LANDLORD. THE PARTIES HAVE SET FORTH THEIR INITIALS BELOW
TO INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION CONTAINED IN
THIS SECTION 6 AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO
EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION AT THE TIME THIS
NINTH AMENDMENT WAS EXECUTED.

7. Deletions from Lease. Section II (Renewal) of Exhibit E to the Office Lease,
and Section 9.02 (Right of First Offer) and Section 9.03 (Renewal Option) of the
Sixth Amendment are hereby deleted in their entirety and are of no further force
or effect. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything
in the Lease to the contrary, as of the date hereof, Tenant shall have no right
to extend the Term beyond the current Termination Date (which is February 28,
2013), nor shall Tenant have any right under the Lease to expand the Premises.

8. Broker. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had
no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the
negotiation of this Ninth Amendment other than Unico Properties, LLC,
representing Landlord, and GVA Kidder Mathews, representing Tenant (the
“Broker”) and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent included in
this transaction. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party
against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands,
losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing
commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the
indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than
the Broker. The terms of this Section 5 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, as hereby amended.

9. No Other Modifications. Except as otherwise provided herein, all other terms
and provisions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, unmodified by
this Ninth Amendment.

10. Counterparts. This Ninth Amendment may be executed in any number of original
counterparts. Any such counterpart, when executed, shall constitute an original
of this Ninth Amendment, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one
and the same Ninth Amendment.

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

11. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this Ninth
Amendment, this Ninth Amendment shall prevail.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Ninth Amendment as of the
date first set forth above.
