For and in consideration of the agreement to lease the Additional Premises and
the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Sublease, Sublandlord and
Subtenant agree as follows:
1.    Subtenant’s Work. Subtenant shall, at Subtenant’s own cost and expense
except for the Improvement Allowance (as hereinafter defined), perform all work
(“Subtenant’s Work”) necessary or desirable to improve the Additional Premises
to a finished condition ready for the conduct of Subtenant’s business therein.
Subtenant’s Work may include, without limitation, the installation of additional
(package) air conditioning equipment to provide after-hours heating,

Sublandlord’s condenser water at no additional charge to Subtenant). Subtenant’s
Work shall be performed in accordance with Subtenant’s Plans (defined in
Section 3(b)(i) hereof) approved in advance by Sublandlord, and subject to the
other terms and conditions of this Work Letter and to the terms and conditions
of the Sublease. Subtenant’s Work shall not modify or adversely affect the

following information and items to Sublandlord:
(i)    The scheduled commencement date of construction of Subtenant’s Work and
the estimated date of completion of construction.
(ii)    An itemized statement of estimated construction cost, including permits
and fees and architectural, engineering and contracting fees (the “Estimated
Cost of Subtenant’s Work”).
(b)    All contracts with Subtenant’s Contractors (as defined in Section 5(c)
below) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Sublandlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and
Landlord to the extent required by the Prime Lease.
(c)    Subtenant shall submit the following information and items to Sublandlord
not less than five (5) days prior to commencement of construction of Subtenant’s
Work:
(i)    The names and addresses of Subtenant’s Contractors. Sublandlord and
Landlord shall have the right to approve Subtenant’s Contractors and Subtenant
shall employ as Subtenant’s Contractors only those persons or entities approved
by Sublandlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Landlord
to the extent required by the Prime Lease.
(ii)    An updated itemized statement of estimated construction cost, including
permits and fees and architectural, engineering and contracting fees.
(iii)    Certified copies of insurance policies or certificates of insurance as
hereinafter described. Subtenant shall not permit Subtenant’s Contractors to
commence work until the required insurance has been obtained and certified
copies of policies or certificates have been delivered to Sublandlord.

Contractors.
(d)    Subtenant will update such information and items by notice to Sublandlord
of any changes.
3.    Submission of Drawings. Subtenant shall comply with the following
procedure for approval of Subtenant’s Plans by Sublandlord:
(a)    Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord five (5) black‑and‑white prints of
a preliminary conceptual layout of the Premises for use in evaluation of space
utilization in the Premises (“Space Plan”) prepared by an architect licensed in
the District of Columbia, selected by Subtenant and approved by Sublandlord and
Landlord (“Subtenant’s Architect”). Not more than fifteen (15) days after the
delivery of the Space Plan, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant either of
Landlord’s approval thereof, or of the changes reasonably required by Landlord.
If Sublandlord notifies Subtenant that changes are required, Subtenant shall
promptly thereafter submit to Sublandlord, for Landlord’s approval, a Space Plan
amended by Subtenant and Subtenant’s Architect in accordance with the changes so
required. Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant of Landlord’s approval or
disapproval of the amended Space Plan within fifteen (15) days of Sublandlord’s
receipt thereof and Subtenant shall have any changes to the Space Plan required
by Landlord made promptly after the date Subtenant receives notice thereof.
(b)    Following Landlord’s approval of the Space Plan, Subtenant shall deliver
to Sublandlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed by Sublandlord, five (5) black‑and‑white
prints of Subtenant’s Plans prepared by Subtenant’s Architect based on the
approved Space Plan.
(i)    “Subtenant’s Plans” means the plans and specifications (including
architectural, mechanical and electrical working drawings) for the supply,
installation and finishing in the Premises of Subtenant’s Work, including
without limitation all partitions; doors and hardware; ceilings; wiring, lights
and switches; heating, cooling and ventilation equipment and controls; telephone
and electrical outlets; floor covering; drapes; built‑ins; plumbing and
fixtures; fire protection, fire warning and security systems; and other
equipment and facilities attached to and forming part of the Building.

Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s architect and engineer in reviewing the Space Plan,
Subtenant’s Plans, specifications and drawings in the event such review is
required by Sublandlord in its reasonable discretion, subject to the application
of the Improvement Allowance. In the event Landlord reviews the Space Plan,
Subtenant’s Plans, specifications and drawings at a charge that is billed to
Subtenant, then Sublandlord either shall not perform or shall not bill Subtenant
for any separate review by Sublandlord. If Sublandlord elects not to perform a
separate review, then Landlord's approval of the Space Plan, Subtenant’s Plans,
specifications and drawings shall also be deemed Sublandlord's approval for all
purposes of this Work Letter.
(iii)    Not more than fifteen (15) days after receipt by Sublandlord of the
Subtenant’s Plans, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant either of its approval
thereof or of changes required. If Sublandlord notifies Subtenant that changes
are required, Subtenant shall promptly submit to Sublandlord, for its approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Subtenant’s Plans amended by
Subtenant and Subtenant’s Architect in accordance with the changes so required.
Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant of its approval or disapproval of the amended
Subtenant’s Plans within fifteen (15) days after Sublandlord’s receipt thereof
and Subtenant shall have any changes to the Subtenant’s Plans reasonably
required by Sublandlord (or required by Landlord) promptly made. Upon
Sublandlord’s notification to Subtenant of approval by Sublandlord of
Subtenant’s Plans, Subtenant shall promptly submit Subtenant’s Plans for pricing
and to appropriate authorities for the issuance of a building permit, if
required.
(iv)    Approvals or disapprovals on behalf of Sublandlord may be given by
Sublandlord, or such architect or other representative as Sublandlord may from
time to time designate. Sublandlord shall give reasons for any disapproval.
Sublandlord’s approval shall not constitute an assumption by Sublandlord of
responsibility for the accuracy or sufficiency of Subtenant’s Plans, for
compliance with law or performance standards or otherwise. Subtenant shall
submit any changes to Subtenant’s Plans to Sublandlord for Sublandlord’s
reasonable approval (and Landlord’s approval) before commencing any work with
respect to such changes. Unless otherwise agreed by Sublandlord, all drawings
provided by Subtenant hereunder shall be of uniform size not exceeding 30” x 42”
and to a minimum scale of one eighth inch equals one foot.
4.    Delivery of Premises; Commencement of Subtenant’s Work.
(a)    Sublandlord shall deliver the Premises to Subtenant on the Effective

terms and provisions of the Sublease shall be binding upon Subtenant from and
after the date on which Subtenant takes possession of the Premises.
(b)    No construction work shall be undertaken or commenced by Subtenant in the
Premises until:
(i)    Subtenant’s Plans have been submitted to and approved by Sublandlord and
Landlord,
(ii)    all governmental approvals and permits required for the commencement of
Subtenant’s Work, if any, have been obtained by Subtenant, and evidence thereof
has been provided to Sublandlord,
(iii)    all required insurance coverages have been obtained by Subtenant, and
evidence thereof provided to Sublandlord,
(iv)    items required to be submitted to Sublandlord prior to commencement of
construction of Subtenant’s Work have been so submitted and have been approved,
where required, and
(v)    Sublandlord has given written notice that the work can proceed.
Sublandlord agrees to give such notice within two (2) business days after
Subtenant satisfies the requirements of subparagraphs 4(b)(i)-(iv).
5.    Standards of Design and Construction of Subtenant’s Work and Conditions of
Subtenant’s Performance. All work done in or upon the Additional Premises by
Subtenant shall be done according to the standards set forth in this Section 5,
except as the same may be modified on Subtenant’s Plans approved by or on behalf
of Sublandlord.
(a)    All design and construction shall comply with all applicable statutes,
ordinances, regulations, laws, codes and industry standards. Approval by
Sublandlord of Subtenant’s Plans shall not constitute a waiver of this
requirement or assumption by Sublandlord of responsibility for compliance. Where
several sets of the foregoing laws, codes and standards must be met, the
strictest shall apply where not prohibited by another law, code or standard.
Subtenant shall cause Subtenant’s Architect to become familiar with the
foregoing design criteria and with all construction procedures which may be
established by Landlord and Sublandlord for the Building in order to permit
completion of proper and adequate architectural, mechanical, electrical,
plumbing and fire protection working drawings for Subtenant’s Work in conformity
with the standards provided for herein and in order to assure proper
coordination of Subtenant’s Work with the construction of other tenants’
premises in the Building.

building permits and when construction has been completed shall, at its own cost
and expense, obtain an occupancy permit for the Additional Premises (if
required), which shall be delivered to Sublandlord.
(c)    Subtenant may competitively bid Subtenant’s Work provided all contractors
and subcontractors engaged by or on behalf of Subtenant for construction of
Subtenant’s Work (collectively, “Subtenant’s Contractors”) shall be reasonably
acceptable to Sublandlord and shall be licensed contractors, possessing good
labor relations, capable of performing quality workmanship and working in
harmony with Sublandlord’s employees, contractors and subcontractors and with
other contractors and subcontractors on the job site. All work shall be
coordinated with any general construction work in the Building in order not to
adversely affect other work being performed by or for Sublandlord or its
contractors and subcontractors. Subtenant may also hire, at its sole cost
(subject to the application of the Improvement Allowance), an independent
construction manager.
(d)    Sublandlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform, on
behalf of and for the account of Subtenant, subject to reimbursement by
Subtenant for the reasonable actual costs thereof without any profit to
Sublandlord, any work which is required as a result of Subtenant’s Work and (i)
Sublandlord deems necessary, in its good faith commercially reasonable judgment,
to be done on an emergency basis, or (ii) which pertains to repairs of
Subtenant’s Work and other work in the Building. If Sublandlord elects to
exercise its rights under this Section 5(d), Sublandlord agrees to give
Subtenant reasonable prior notice and to permit Subtenant an opportunity to
perform such work, and if Subtenant does not timely perform such work, to
consult with Subtenant about the completion of such work so as to minimize
Subtenant’s costs without adversely impacting the Building’s structural
components or mechanical, electrical, plumbing or fire protection systems.
(e)    Subtenant shall use only new, first‑class materials in Subtenant’s Work,
except (i) where explicitly shown in Subtenant’s Plans approved by Sublandlord
(ii) for the re-use of existing Building materials. On completion of Subtenant’s
Work, Subtenant shall provide or cause to be provided to Sublandlord warranties
of at least one (1) year duration against defects in workmanship and materials
on all work performed and equipment installed in the Additional Premises as part
of Subtenant’s Work.
(f)    Subtenant’s Contractors, in performing work, shall not unreasonably
interfere with other tenants and occupants of the Building. Subtenant shall take
all reasonable precautionary steps to protect its facilities and the facilities
of others affected by Subtenant’s Work and to properly police same. Construction
equipment and materials are to be kept within the Additional Premises and
delivery and loading of equipment and materials shall be done at such locations
and at such time as Sublandlord shall reasonably direct so as not to burden the
construction or operation of the Building.
(g)    Sublandlord shall have the right to order Subtenant or any of Subtenant’s
Contractors who have violated the requirements imposed on Subtenant or
Subtenant’s Contractors pursuant to this Work Letter to cease work and remove
their equipment and employees from the Building unless Subtenant or Subtenant’s
Contractors, as the case may be, immediately comply with such requirements.
Sublandlord agrees to give Subtenant notice not later than the end of the prior
working day before exercising such rights.
(h)    With respect to work performed by Landlord in accordance with Section
5(d), Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord for the reasonable cost of (i) all work
performed by Sublandlord on behalf of Subtenant, (ii) all materials or labor
furnished on Subtenant’s behalf, and (iii) all other amounts required to be paid
by Subtenant to Sublandlord, within thirty (30) days from the date of
Sublandlord’s invoice therefor, subject to the application of the Improvement
Allowance.

contractors shall be obligated to pay for electricity, water or HVAC during

terms of the Sublease, provided that after-hours HVAC shall be paid for by
Subtenant at Landlord's standard charges for the same. Subtenant shall be
entitled to non-exclusive use of freight elevators during normal business hours
pursuant to Building rules and regulations at no cost to Subtenant. The
interiors of elevators used by Subtenant shall be adequately protected from
damage in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord. Subtenant shall
ensure that Subtenant’s Contractors remove all construction debris and shall not
place debris in the Building’s waste containers.
(j)    Subtenant shall permit access to the Additional Premises, and Subtenant’s
Work shall be subject to inspection by Sublandlord, Landlord and their
respective architects, contractors and other representatives, at all times
during the period when Subtenant’s Work is being constructed and installed and
following completion of Subtenant’s Work.
(k)    Subject only to circumstances over which Subtenant has no control and
which could not have been avoided by Subtenant by the exercise of due diligence,
Subtenant shall proceed with its work expeditiously, continuously and
efficiently. Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord upon completion of Subtenant’s
Work.
(l)    In addition, upon completion of Subtenant’s Work, Subtenant shall notify
Sublandlord and shall furnish Sublandlord with final waivers of liens and
contractors’ affidavits, in such form as may be required by Sublandlord,
Landlord, and Landlord’s title insurance company or lender, from all parties
performing labor or supplying materials or services in connection with
Subtenant’s Work showing that all of said parties have been compensated in full
and waiving all liens in connection with the Additional Premises and Building.
Subtenant shall furnish partial waivers of liens and contractors’ affidavits to
Sublandlord from time to time during the course of construction upon
Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s request covering those portions of such labor,
materials and services which have been performed and supplied. Subtenant shall
submit to Sublandlord a detailed breakdown of Subtenant’s total construction
costs, together with such evidence of payment as is reasonably satisfactory to
Sublandlord.
(m)    Subtenant shall have no authority to deviate in any material respect from
Subtenant’s Plans in performance of Subtenant’s Work, except as approved by
Sublandlord and its designated representative in writing which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld to the extent that the requested deviation from
Subtenant’s Plans does not modify or adversely affect the Building’s structure
or systems. Upon completion of Subtenant’s Work, Subtenant shall furnish to
Sublandlord “as‑built” drawings of Subtenant’s Work.
(n)    Sublandlord shall, at Sublandlord’s cost, have the right to run roof
drainage lines, utility lines, pipes, duct work and component parts of all
mechanical and electrical systems where necessary or desirable through existing
conduits, walls and utility closets in the Additional Premises, to repair,
alter, replace or remove the same without substantially changing the location
thereof, and to require Subtenant to install and maintain proper access panels
thereto (consistent with industry practice in first-class buildings).
(o)    Subtenant shall impose on and enforce all applicable terms of this Work
Letter against Subtenant’s Contractors, Subtenant’s Architect and Subtenant’s
engineer.
(p)    Subtenant and Subtenant’s employees shall not be permitted to occupy the
Additional Premises for the purpose of conducting Subtenant’s business therein
until Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s architect reasonably confirms that Subtenant’s
Work has been substantially completed in accordance with the approved
Subtenant’s Plans.
6.    Insurance and Indemnification.
(a)    In addition to any insurance which may be required under the Sublease,
Subtenant shall secure, pay for and maintain or cause Subtenant’s Contractors to
secure, pay for and maintain during the continuance of Subtenant’s Work,
insurance in the following minimum coverages and limits of liability:
(i)    Workmen’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limits of
not less than $500,000.00 and as required by any Employee Benefit Acts or other
statutes applicable where the work is to be performed as will protect
Subtenant’s Contractors from liability under the aforementioned acts.
(ii)    Commercial General Liability Insurance (including Contractors’
Protective Liability) in an amount not less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence,
whether involving bodily injury liability (or death resulting therefrom) or
property damage liability, or a combination thereof, with a minimum aggregate
limit of $2,000,000.00, and with umbrella coverage with limits not less than
$5,000,000.00. Such insurance shall provide for explosion and collapse,
completed operations coverage and broad form blanket contractual liability
coverage and shall insure Subtenant’s Contractors against any and all claims for
bodily injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to the property
of others arising from its operations under the contracts, whether such
operations are performed by Subtenant’s Contractors or by anyone directly or
indirectly employed by any of them.
(iii)    Comprehensive Automobile Liability Insurance, including the ownership,
maintenance and operation of any automotive equipment, owned, hired, or
non‑owned in an amount not less than $500,000.00 for each person in one
accident, and $1,000,000.00 for injuries sustained by two or more persons in any
one accident and property damage liability in an amount not less than
$1,000,000.00 for each accident. Such insurance shall insure Subtenant’s
Contractors against any and all claims for bodily injury, including death
resulting therefrom, and damage to the property of others arising from its
operations under the contracts, whether such operations are performed by
Subtenant’s Contractors, or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of
them.
(iv)    “All‑risk” builder’s risk insurance upon the entire Subtenant’s Work to
the full insurable value thereof. This insurance shall include the interests of
Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant (and their respective contractors and
subcontractors of any tier to the extent of any insurable interest therein) in
the Subtenant’s Work and shall insure against the perils of fire and extended
coverage and shall include “all-risk” builder’s risk insurance for physical loss
or damage including, without duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism and
malicious mischief. If portions of the Subtenant’s Work are stored off the site
of the Building or in transit to said site are not covered under said “all-risk”
builder’s risk insurance, then Subtenant shall effect and maintain similar
property insurance on such portions of Subtenant’s Work. If after such loss no
other special agreement is made, the decision to replace or not replace any such
damaged Subtenant’s Work shall be made in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Sublease. The waiver of subrogation provisions contained in
the Sublease shall apply to the “all-risk” builder’s risk insurance policy to be
obtained by Subtenant pursuant to this paragraph.
All such policies will be obtained from companies reasonably acceptable to
Sublandlord and Landlord; and Subtenant shall cause Sublandlord, Landlord,
Landlord’s managing agent, Cushman & Wakefield U.S., Inc., and any designee of
Landlord to be named as an additional insured under such policies (except the
workmen’s compensation policy). Said endorsements shall also provide that all
additional insured parties shall be given not less than thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice of any reduction, cancellation or non‑renewal of coverage (except
that not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be sufficient in
the case of cancellation for non‑payment of premium) and shall provide that the
insurance coverage afforded to the additional insured parties thereunder shall
be primary to any insurance carried independently by said additional insured
parties. At Subtenant’s request, Sublandlord shall furnish a list of names and
addresses of parties to be named as additional insureds. The insurance policies
required hereunder shall be considered as the primary insurance and shall not
call into contribution any insurance maintained by Sublandlord and Landlord.
Additionally, where applicable, each policy shall contain a cross‑liability and
severability of interest clause.
(b)    Performance of the Subtenant's Work shall be subject to the
indemnification provisions contained in the Sublease.
7.    Improvement Allowance.
(a)    Sublandlord shall reimburse Subtenant for up to $210,225 (being $37.50
per square foot of rentable area of the Additional Premises) (the “Improvement
Allowance”) of the Cost of Subtenant’s Work (as hereinafter defined). Subtenant
shall pay the amount by which the Cost of Subtenant’s Work exceeds the
Improvement Allowance. The Improvement Allowance shall be paid out to Subtenant
based upon ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work for which payment is
requested (i.e., the value of such work prior to application of any retainage
provided for in Subtenant's contract with Subtenant's Contractor) to reimburse
Subtenant for the Cost of Subtenant’s Work. Prior to the payment of any portion
of the Improvement Allowance, Subtenant shall deliver, or shall cause to be
delivered to Sublandlord evidence that the work for which reimbursement is then
being requested has been performed and paid for by Subtenant, which evidence
shall include executed lien waivers, architect’s certificates, contractor’s
statements, and owner’s statements covering the work for which reimbursement is
requested from time to time. Sublandlord covenants that it will make
disbursements of the Improvement Allowance within thirty (30) days after
receiving the foregoing required documentation. At Subtenant's election,
payments out of the Improvement Allowance shall be made by Sublandlord directly
to Subtenant's Contractor, in which event any lien waivers delivered to
Sublandlord in connection with a request for disbursement may be conditioned
upon payment. Funds paid to Subtenant from Sublandlord shall be deemed to be
paid out of the Improvement Allowance until the full amount of the Improvement
Allowance has been disbursed. In no event shall Sublandlord be required to make
more than one disbursement of the Improvement Allowance during any single
calendar month. Upon Subtenant’s completion of Subtenant’s Work and delivery to
Sublandlord of final lien waivers and other evidence reasonably required by
Sublandlord to confirm Subtenant’s Work has been completed and fully paid for,
Sublandlord shall, promptly after written request from Subtenant, disburse to
Subtenant any portion of the Improvement Allowance to which Subtenant has
satisfied the requirements for disbursement but which was withheld by
Sublandlord as the ten percent (10%) retainage. The Improvement Allowance shall
be available to pay for the cost of Subtenant’s Work and for so-called "soft
costs", which include space planning, architectural and engineering fees, legal
fees, construction management fees, moving costs, telephone and computer cabling
and for furniture fixtures and office equipment and stationery.
(b)    If Sublandlord fails to disburse any portion of the Improvement Allowance
as and when required by Section 7(a) of this Work Letter, Subtenant shall be
entitled to a credit against Base Rent due and payable under the Sublease in the
amount equal to the amount of the Improvement Allowance that was not disbursed
by Sublandlord as and when required by Section 7(a), with interest accruing on
such unpaid amount at the rate of 9% per annum.
8.    Cost of Subtenant’s Work. “Cost of Subtenant’s Work” shall mean costs of
all labor and materials, general contractor’s fees and any permit or license
fees necessary for completion of construction of Subtenant’s Work. Sublandlord
shall not be entitled to any construction coordination or supervision fee in
connection with the Subtenant's Work, and Subtenant shall have no liability to
pay any construction coordination fee payable to Landlord pursuant to the Prime
Lease.
9.    Landlord’s Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the Sublease or this Work Letter, in each instance where Sublandlord’s approval
or consent is required, Landlord’s approval shall be required to the extent
required under the Prime Lease.
10.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    Charges due from Subtenant to Sublandlord pursuant to this Work Letter,
if any, may be deducted by Sublandlord from any payment of the Improvement
Allowance provided Sublandlord has delivered reasonable evidence of such charges
to Subtenant.
(b)    If Subtenant’s Plans require the construction and installation of more
fire hose cabinets or telephone/electrical closets than the number regularly
provided by Sublandlord in the portion of the Building in which the Additional
Premises are located, Subtenant shall pay all costs and expenses arising from
the construction and installation of such additional fire hose cabinets or
telephone/electrical closets.
(c)    This Work Letter shall not be deemed applicable to any additional office
space added to the Original Premises or the Additional Premises at any time or
from time to time, whether by any options under the Sublease or otherwise, or to
any portion of the Original Premises, the Additional Premiese, or any additions
thereto in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the
Sublease, whether by any options under the Sublease or otherwise, unless
expressly so provided in the Sublease or any amendment or supplement thereto.
(d)    With respect to any amounts owed by Subtenant hereunder and not paid when
due or Subtenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, Sublandlord
shall have all of the rights and remedies granted to Sublandlord under the
Sublease for non‑payment by Subtenant of any amounts owed thereunder or failure
by Subtenant to perform its obligations thereunder.
