the rent covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence and the Commencement

                                        I

     3. Rent.

     (a) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay during the Term hereof annual

the purposes of this Sublease, the term "Lease Year" shall mean the period of
twelve (12) consecutive months commencing on the Commencement Date and each
successive twelve (12) month period thereafter; provided that if the
Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month then the first Lease
Year shall commence on the Commencement Date and continue through the end of the
calendar month in which the Commencement Date falls and for eleven (11) calendar

<PAGE>

     (b) In addition to the Annual Base Rent, Tennant shall pay to Landlord as
further and additional rent hereunder, all sums of money, costs and charges of
whatever nature or manner required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord or otherwise
pursuant to this Sublease, other than Annual Base Rent (the "Additional Rent"),
as and when required under any provision of this Sublease.

          (i)Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay Landlord, in addition to
     the Annual Base Rent and other charges and sums payable by Tenant under
     this Sublease, and as Additional Rent hereunder, all Real Property Taxes,
     Personal Property Taxes, Insurance Costs, Utility Costs and Operating
     Expenses payable by Landlord to the Prime Landlord (collectively the, "Pass
     Through Expenses") pursuant to the Prime Lease (as such Pass Through
     Expenses may be adjusted by Prime Landlord in accordance with the
     provisions of the Prime Lease) to the extent such Pass Through Expenses
     exceed the Pass Through Expenses for the 2002 calendar year (the "Pass
     Through Expenses Base Amount") and all Environmental Surcharges payable by
     Landlord under the Prime Lease and attributable in whole or in part to any
     period after the Commencement Date and before the Expiration Date. Payments
     of all Additional Rent pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i) (shall be due
     within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of a written invoice therefore
     from Landlord. unless otherwise provided for hereunder.

          (ii) At the option and discretion of Landlord, Landlord may from time
     to time during the Term hereof deliver to Tenant a good faith written
     estimate or revised written estimate of the amount which will be payable by
     Tenant pursuant to Subsection 3(d)(i) hereof with respect to any calendar
     year or part Thereof during the Term (the "Estimated Pass Through Expenses
     Increase"). Commencing with the first monthly installment of Rent becoming
     due and payable hereunder after the date of any such estimate of Estimated
     Pass Through Expenses Increase, and with each successive monthly
     installment of Annual Base Rent until Landlord's next estimate is rendered,

<PAGE>

     Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the sum specified by
     Landlord which is equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Estimated Pass Through
     Expenses Increase (including with such first monthly installment after the
     date of each such estimate, the amount by which the Estimated Pass Through
     Expenses Increase attributable to the period prior to such notice exceeds
     the amount already paid on account thereof by Tenant). Landlord shall
     furnish to Tenant, after the receipt by Landlord of Prime Landlord's annual
     statement of Pass Through Expenses, a statement setting for the amount
     payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) hereof for the immediately
     preceding calendar year and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deficiency (to
     the extent such calendar year falls within the Term) or Landlord shall
     credit toward future installments of Estimated Pass Through Expenses
     Increase any overpayment by Tenant of Estimated Pass Through Expenses
     Increase for the immediately preceding calendar year (to the extent such
     calendar year falls within the Term), provided. However, that if the Term
     shall terminate or expire prior to the full application of such credit (and
     if all amounts due to Landlord by Tenant shall have been paid), any balance
     due to Tenant shall be refunded within thirty (30) days following the date
     of such termination or expiration. Each of Landlord's statements shall be
     conclusive and binding on Tenant if Tenant does not dispute such statement
     in writing within forty-five (45) days after Tenant's receipt thereof

     (d) All Annual Past Rent and Additional Rent (collectively, "Rent') shall
be payable to Landlord at Accounts Receivable, Veridian Commercial Operations,
Inc., 10560 Arrowhead Dr., Fairfax, Virginia 22030-2305 or at such other address
as Landlord may hereafter designate in writing, in lawful money of the United
States, Without notice, demand, setoff or deduction whatsoever, at the times and
in the manner specified in this Sublease.

     (e) If Tenant fails to pay any installment of Annual Base Rent or Estimated
Pass Through Expenses Increase within five (5) business days after such
installment becomes due and payable, or if Tenant fails to pay any other sum
within five (5) business days after the due date thereof, such unpaid
installment or other sum shall bear interest from the due date at the rate per
annum which is three percent (3%) in excess of the "prime rate" as published in
the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal (or, if less, the maximum
interest rate allowed by law) (such rate, the "Sublease Interest Rate") from the
date such installment or other sum first became due and payable to the date of
payment thereof by Tenant. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that late payment of

<PAGE>

any installment of Annual Base Rent or any other sum payable by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Sublease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and
impracticable to assess. Therefore, if any installment of Annual Base Rent or
any other sum payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder is not received by
Landlord when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of three percent
(3%) of the amount of such installment or other sum. Such late charge and
interest shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder, due and payable with the
next regular monthly installment of Rent, or, if no such regular monthly
installment remains to be paid (whether by reason of acceleration, expiration or
termination of the Term or otherwise) shall be due and payable immediately,
Acceptance of any late charge or interest shall not constitute a waiver of
Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the rights and remedies available to Landlord.

     4. Security Deposit.

(a) Upon execution hereof Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a security deposit
("Security Deposit"), in the form of a Letter of Credit (as defined below), in
the amount of Seventy-three Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty-five and 20/100
Dollars ($73,235.20) which Security Deposit shall be retained by Landlord as
partial security for the faithful performance of all the covenants, conditions
and agreements set forth or referenced in this Sublease. The Landlord's right to
the possession of the Demised Premises for non-payment of Rent or for any other
reason shall not be reduced by reason of the fact that Landlord holds this
Security Deposit. In the event of any default by Tenant under this Sublease,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to draw on the Letter of
Credit in whole or in part and to apply all or any part of the proceeds
therefrom to (i) cure such default and/or (ii) to pay or reimburse any and all
costs, damages, expenses losses or otherwise incurred or suffered in connection
with such default or repossession of the Demised Premises or to other damages
provided for in the Prime Lease or herein. in either event Tenant shall be
obligated to, and shall, within five (5) business days after Tenants receipt of
a written request from Landlord, deposit an additional Letter of Credit in the
amount necessary to restore the Security Deposit to the amount of the original
Letter of Credit deposited hereunder or such reduced amount as may be required
subject to Section 4(d) below. Any application of the Security Deposit by
Landlord shall not excuse or reduce Tenant's liability for defaults hereunder
nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies provided for
hereunder, at law and/or in equity, nor operate as a limitation on any recovery
to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Any remaining portion of the

<PAGE>

Security Deposit, if not applied, used or retained by Landlord for the purposes
set forth above, is to be returned to Tenant after this Sublease is terminated
or expires on its own terms, hereunder, provided, however, that in no event is
any remaining balance of the Security Deposit to be returned to Tenant until
Tenant has vacated the Demised Premises and delivered possession to Landlord in
accordance with the terms hereof. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section
1950.7 of the California Civil Code and all other provisions of law, now or
hereafter in effect, which might limit in any way the Landlord's application of
the Security Deposit, it being agreed that Landlord may apply the Security
Deposit in any manner and to any sum described herein.

     (b) For purposes of this Sublease, the "Letter of Credit" shall mean an
unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B, which permits partial draws, having an
expiration date of not less than twelve (12) months from issuance, and drawn on
a federally insured banking institution organized under the laws of the United
States which (i) has capital and surplus of $2,000,000,000 or more as reported
in the most recent edition of Polks World Bank Directory or a similar reporting
service, (ii) is not subject to any supervisory agreement or regulatory order
imposed by the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation relating to its financial soundness, and (iii) has an office or a
correspondent in the Washington, D.C. or Los Angeles metropolitan areas. Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord, not later than thirty (30) days before the scheduled
expiration date of any Letter of Credit, an extension or renewal of such Letter
of Credit for a period of not less than twelve (12) months. If Tenant fails to
timely deliver such renewed or extended Letter of Credit, Landlord shall be
entitled to draw on such Letter of Credit prior to its expiration and hold the
drawn funds in accordance with the terms of this Sublease. This Section 4 shall
apply equally to any renewed or extended Letter of Credit.

     (c) The amount of the Security Deposit is not intended to and shall not
serve as a limitation of Tenant's liability to Landlord under this Sublease.
Landlord expressly reserves each of its legal and equitable remedies against
Tenant with respect to this Sublease.

<PAGE>

     (d) The amount of the Security Deposit required under this Section 4 shall
be reduced by Twelve Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-nine 20/100 Dollars
($12,289.20) on the last day of each of the 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months of the
Term (each period a "Reduction Period"), provided that at any such Reduction
Period (1)Tenant is not then in default under this Sublease or the Prime Lease;
and (2) no Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred in the six (6)
months of the Term preceding such Reduction Period. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the Security Deposit shall never be reduced to an amount that

as a result of this Section 4(d).

completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with applicable laws,
ordinances, regulations, codes and other governmental requirements. Tenant shall
reimburse Prime Landlord under Section 12 of the Prime Lease for Prime
Landlord's review of Tenant's plans for any proposed Alteration. Tenant shall

Delinquency, at Landlord's option, Landlord shall have the additional right to

     terminated and canceled;

          (ii) if Landlord elects not to terminate this Sublease, Landlord may
     re-enter and take possession of the Demised Premises, as improved, and
     every part thereof and assign this Sublease or re-sublease the Demised
     Premises (collectively, a "Relleting") at the risk and cost of Tenant,
     whose default shall not relieve it of the responsibility for the difference
     between the Rent herein reserved and/or required to be paid and the rent
     actually received by Landlord upon a Reletting with respect to the portion
     of the Term remaining after such default occurs. Any such Reletting shall
     be on such terms, rental and conditions as Landlord may determine, and in
     no event shall Tenant have any right to any excess of such net rents
     collected pursuant to any Reletting over the sums due and payable by
     `tenant under this Sublease. In addition, in the case of any such
     Relctting, Tenant shall be responsible for the following costs incurred by
     Landlord: brokerage commissions, reasonable attorney's fees, the expenses
     of placing the Demised Premises in rentable condition and expenses related
     to the removal of any Alterations made by Tenant which removal is deemed
     necessary by Landlord in Reletttng the Demised Premises. Landlord shall
     have no duty to relet and shall not be liable for failure to relet all or
     any portion of the Demised Premises or to collect rentals under any such
     Reletting, nor shall Tenant be released from liability hereunder by reason

<PAGE>

     thereof Any damage or loss of Rent sustained by Landlord may be recovered
     from Tenant, at Landlord's option, at the time of the Reletting, or in
     separate actions as said damages become determinable from Relettings, or in
     a single action deferred until the expiration of the Term (in which case
     the cause of action shall not accrue until the stated expiration of the
     Term of this Sublease), or in a single action prior to the Reletting or
     termination or expiration of this Sublease;

          (iii) should Landlord terminate this Lease as a result of Tenant's
     default, then, in addition to the other remedies described in this Section
     11(b), at any time after said termination, at Landlord's election by
     written notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the value at the
     time of said election of the excess, if any, of all Annual Base Rent and
     Additional Rent due-under this Sublease for the remainder of the Term
     (which would remain hut for termination of the Sublease by Landlord) over
     the then fair market sublease rental value of the Demised Premises (taking
     into account the then remaining period of the Term) subject to discount
     calculated with reference to the interest rate applicable at the time of
     Landlord's election to 10-year United States Treasury obligations maturing
     on that date which is the midpoint of the remaining Term of the Sublease
     (but for Landlord's termination of the Sublease) as of the date of
     Landlord's election; and/or

          (iv) perform, on behalf and at the expense of Tenant, any obligation
     of Tenant under this Sublease which Tenant has failed to perform, the cost
     of which performance by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the
     Sublease Interest Rate from the date of such expenditure, shall be deemed
     Additional Rent and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.

     In the event of any default hereunder by Tenant, Tenant agrees to
compensate Landlord for any court costs or attorney's fees incurred by Landlord
in enforcing the provisions of this Sublease.

     Nothing herein shall prevent Landlord from claiming and collecting, in
fill, damages for Rent accrued prior to termination of this Sublease and not
paid, or from claiming and collecting under any applicable laws any amounts
allowed thereby. If under the provisions of this Sublease applicable summary
process shall be served, and a compromise or settlement thereof shall be made,
such compromise or settlement shall not constitute a waiver of the covenants,

<PAGE>

conditions or agreements herein contained, and no waiver by Landlord of my
breach of any covenant, condition or agreement herein contained shall operate as
a waiver of the covenant, condition or agreement itself or of any subsequent
breach thereof No provision of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been waived
by Landlord unless such waiver shall he in writing signed by Landlord. No
payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly
installments of Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to he other than on
account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement
on any check or any lefter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deenied
an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment
without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or
pursue any other remedy.

     (e) Removal of Personal Property. In the event of any entry or retaking of
possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord upon the occurrence of a default,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, after fifteen (15) days
written notice to Tenant affording Tenant the right to remove its personal
property, to remove from the Demised Premises all or any part of the personal
property located therein and may place such property in storage at the expense
and risk of the owner or owners thereof, provided that the notice provided for
in this Section 11(c) shall not be required if Landlord's entry or retaking of
possession of the Demised Premises occurs after the Expiration Date hereof or
the expiration date of any extended Term, as applicable.

     (d) Additional Remedies. In addition to and not in limitation of the other
remedies provided for in this Sublease, Landlord (i) was' exercise all of its

provided by Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code or any successor section
thereof to the extent not already provided for in Section 11(b) hereof and (ii)
shall be entitled to the restraining by injunction of any breach or default or
attempted or threatened breach or default of any of the terms, covenants,
conditions, provisions or agreements of this Sublease. Landlord shall have the
right to remedy or attempt to remedy any default of Tenant under this Sublease
for the account of Tenant and to enter upon the Demised Premises for such
purposes. Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of the remedying by Landlord of
any of Tenant's defaults, either before or after the performance of such remedy.
No notice of Landlord's intention to reenter the Demised Premises need be given
to Tenant unless expressly required by this Sublease. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant for any loss, injury or damage caused by acts of Landlord in
remedying or attempting to remedy such default and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for all commercially reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
in connection with remedying or attempting to remedy such default.

<PAGE>

     (e) Remedies Cumulative. The remedies of Landlord provided for in this
Sublease are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies to which
Landlord may be lawfully entitled. The exercise by Landlord of any remedy to
which it is entitled shall not preclude or hinder the exercise of any other such
remedy, nor constitute an election of remedies.

to relet the Demised Premises, appointment of a receiver at the initiative of
Landlord or Prime Landlord to protect the interests of either or any other act
by Landlord or Prime Landlord, as the case may be, allowed by this Section 11

the same time or otherwise, and no single rights shall be deemed to be exclusive
of any right or priority allowed by this Sublease, at law or in equity. No delay
or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed as a
waiver of any such right, remedy or waiver of and default by Tenant. In addition
to the foregoing, Landlord may exercise any other remedy now or hereafter
available to a landlord against a defaulting tenant under the laws of the State
of California

Demised Premises shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent
hereunder; or

          (ii) if the Proposed Transfer Space constitutes the entire area of the

law or otherwise provides that the subtenant, assignee or other transferee
thereunder is to pay any amount in excess of the rental and other charges due
under this Lease, whether such excess be in the form of an increased monthly or
annual rental, a Jump sum payment, payment for the sale, transfer or lease of
Tenant's fixtures, leasehold improvements, furniture and other personal
property, or any other form (and if the Proposed Transfer Space does not

with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease. Notwithstanding
anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall not be required to
expend any money or institute any actions or proceedings in connection with the
foregoing except to the extent that any interference with Tenant's right to
peaceably and quietly enjoy the Demised Premises is made by any person or entity
claiming by or through Landlord.

<PAGE>

     15. Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and/or its
members, partners, shareholders, officers, employees and agents harmless from

members, partners, shareholders, officers, employees or agents, directly or
indirectly, arising out of (a) Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises or the business conducted by Tenant therein, (b) any act or omission of
Tenant, its partners, employees, agents or invitees or (c) any breach of
Tenant's obligations under this Sublease.

liability of Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Sublease, the
relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant's use of the Demised Premises,
shall be limited to such estate and property of Landlord in and to the Prime
Lease. No properties or assets of Landlord other than the estate and property of
Landlord in and to the Prime Lease and, in any case, no property owned by any
member, partner, shareholder or other owner of Landlord shall be subject to
levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any
judgment (or other judicial process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy
of Tenant arising out of or in connection with this Sublease, the relationship
of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant's use of the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, if any provision of this
Sublease expressly or impliedly obligates Landlord not to unreasonably withhold
or delay its consent or approval, an action for declaratory judgment or specific
performance shall be Tenant's sole right and remedy in any dispute as to whether
Landlord has violated such obligation.

     17. Tenant Holdover. Tenant shall not continue to possess or occupy the
Demised Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, except
with Landlord's express prior written consent. If Tenant shall, without the
express prior written consent of Landlord, continue to possess or occupy the
Demised Premises after the expiration of the Term, then Tenant shall become a
tenant by the month at one-twelfth of two hundred percent (200%) of the Annual
Base Rent payable immediately preceding the expiration or earlier termination of
the Term, said monthly tenancy commencing on the first day next after the
effective date of such expiration or termination of the Term. If Landlord shall
desire to regain possession of the Demised Premises at the expiration or

<PAGE>

termination of the Term, then at any time after such expiration or termination
of the Term and prior to Landlord's acceptance of Rent from Tenant as a monthly
tenant hereunder, Landlord, at its option, may re-enter and take possession of
the Demised Premises, subject to applicable process of law. Tenant hereby
expressly and irrevocably waives the right to any notice by Landlord in
connection with Landlord's exercise of its rights under this Section 17.

thereto other than Advantis Real Estate Services Company, CB Richard Ellis and
Coldwell Banker Commercial Carlsberg (collectively, "Agents'). Landlord has by
separate agreement recognized the Agents as agents for this Sublease and has
agreed to compensate the Agents for their respective services rendered and shall
be solely liable thereof. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify and hold
the other harmless from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other
commissions asserted by any other broker, agent or finder engaged by the
indemnifying party or with whom the indemnifying party has dealt in connection
with the Demised Premises, this Sublease or the negotiations relating thereto.

Sublease, in form and substance acceptable to Landlord. Promptly upon request,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any financial statements and materials
reasonably requested by Prime Landlord in connection with the application for

<PAGE>

its consent to this Sublease and not delivered by Tenant prior to the date
hereof. If the Prime Landlord refuses to give its consent to this Sublease, or
fails to approve this Sublease in a form and substance acceptable to Landlord
within twenty (20) business days after its receipt of an executed copy of the
Sublease, all financial statements and other materials reasonably required by
Landlord, Landlord may terminate this Sublease by written notice to the Tenant,
in which case Landlord will refund to Tenant any prepaid Rent and return to
Tenant the Security Deposit and neither of the parties will have any further
liability or obligation to the other party under this Sublease or otherwise.

     (h) Tenant agrees that in any case where the provisions of the Prime Lease
or this Sublease require that consent or approval of Landlord or Prime Landlord
be obtained prior to the taking of any action, it shall be a condition precedent

Landlord be obtained if Prime Landlord's consent is required under the
provisions of the Prime Lease. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not have any
duty or responsibility with respect to obtaining the consent or approval of
Prime Landlord when the same is required under the terms of the Lease, other

consent or approval.

     20. Continuing Obligation of Landlord. Landlord expressly acknowledges and
confirms that, as between Landlord and Prime Landlord, this Sublease
and Prime Landlord's consent thereto, in no way releases Landlord, or in any way
mitigates or modifies Landlord's obligations under the Prime Lease to provide
for the timely and proper performance of all terms and conditions of the Prime
Lease undertaken by Tenant with respect to the Demised Premises. Landlord shall
remain fully liable under all terms, covenants, and conditions of the Prime
Lease to the end of the term of the Prime Lease and shall perform or cause to be
