Subject to the provisions of Section VII,
the total number of Shares which may be granted under the Plan is 2,000,000
Shares.  A holder of Shares granted under
the Plan, whether or not vested, shall have all of the rights of a shareholder
of the Company, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive
any distributions, unless the Board shall otherwise determine.  Certificates representing Shares and statements
representing Shares issued in book-entry form may be imprinted with a legend to

grant of Shares related to such Share Agreement may be cancelled by the

V.                                     ADMINISTRATION OF
THE PLAN

 

The Plan shall be administered by the Board
or, in the discretion of the Board, a committee designated by the Board and
composed of at least two (2) members of the Board.  All references in the Plan to the Board shall
be understood to refer to such committee or the Board, whoever shall administer
the Plan.  As of the effective date of
the Plan, the Board has delegated its authority to administer the Plan to the
Compensation Committee of the Company pursuant to the written charter for such
committee; however, the Board may revoke or rescind this delegation of
authority in whole or in part at any time. 
All questions of interpretation and application of the Plan and of
grants of Shares shall be determined by the Board or its designated committee
in its sole discretion, and its determination shall be final and binding upon
all persons, including the Company and all Participants.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Board or the designated committee is authorized to adopt and
approve from time to time the forms and, subject to the terms of the Plan, the
terms and conditions of any Share Agreement. 
If it determines to do so, the Board or its designated committee may
grant Shares under this Plan which are not subject to a Share Agreement.

 

For so long as Section 16 of the
Exchange Act is applicable to the Company, each member of any committee
designated to administer the Plan shall be a “non-employee director” or the
equivalent within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and,
for so long as Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended from time to time (the “Code”), is applicable to the Company, an “outside
director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder.

 

With respect to persons subject to Section 16
of the Exchange Act, grants under the Plan are intended to be exempt from the
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3
or its successor under the Exchange Act.

 

VI.                                 ELIGIBLE PERSONS

 

The persons eligible to receive grants of
Shares shall be those persons selected by the Board or designated committee
from among Key Persons who contribute to the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries.

 

VII.                             CHANGES IN CAPITAL
STRUCTURE

 

In the event that the outstanding Shares are
hereafter changed for a different number or kind of Shares or other securities
of the Company, or are otherwise affected by reason of a merger, sale of
assets, reorganization, recapitalization, exchange of shares, stock split,
combination of shares or dividend payable in shares or other securities or any
similar corporate transaction, a corresponding adjustment shall be made in the
number and kind of Shares or other 

 

3

 

securities covered by
outstanding grants of Shares, and for which Shares may be granted under the
Plan.

 

VIII.                         DURATION, AMENDMENT AND
TERMINATION OF PLAN

 

Shares may be granted under the Plan from
time to time until the close of business on the tenth anniversary of its
effective date.  Subject to any
shareholder approval that may be required under applicable law or the rules of
any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed, the Board hereafter may at
any time amend or extend the Plan, including amendments to change the number of
shares subject to the Plan.  The Plan may
be terminated at any time by action of the Board without, however, affecting
the rights of a Participant or the Company as to Shares granted prior to such
termination.

 

IX.                                MISCELLANEOUS

 

A.            Nonassignability of Shares. 
Shares subject to a Share Agreement shall not be assignable or
transferable by a Participant except in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Share Agreement.

 

B.            No Guarantee of Employment. 
Neither the award of Shares nor a Share Agreement shall give any person
the right to continue in the employment of, or to continue to act as an officer
or Trustee of, or to serve in any other capacity with, the Company, any
subsidiary or the Manager, or give the Company, any subsidiary or the Manager
the right to require such person to continue in any such capacity.

 

C.            Tax Withholding.  To
the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold or cause to be withheld
income and other taxes incurred by a Participant by reason of a grant of
Shares, and as a condition to the receipt of any grant such a Participant shall
agree that if the amount payable to him by the Company in the ordinary course
is insufficient to pay such taxes, he or she shall upon request of the Company
pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding
obligations.

 

D.            Compliance with Law. 
This Plan, the granting and vesting of Shares hereunder, and the other
obligations of the Company under this Plan and any Share Agreement, shall be
subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations,
and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be
required.  The Company, in its reasonable
discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares until completion of
any required action under any state or federal law, rule or regulation as
the Company may consider appropriate in order to comply with the applicable
laws, and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish
such information as it may consider appropriate in connection 

 

4

 

with
the issuance or delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations.  No provisions of this Plan
shall be interpreted or construed to obligate the Company to register any
Shares under federal or state law.

 

E.             Governing Law.  The
validity, construction and effect of this Plan, any rules and regulations
relating to this Plan and any Share Agreement shall be determined in accordance
with the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to principles of
conflict of laws.

   GENERAL CLAUSES The General Clauses which
  follow are approved for use only with GSA Lease Number GS-09B-01110 and are
  not authorized for use with other federal government procurements. 1. FAR
  52.233-1 DISPUTES (DEC 1998) Alternate I (1991) (a) This contract is subject
  to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S.C. 601-613). (b)
  Except as provided in the Act, all disputes arising under or relating to this
  contract shall be resolved under this clause. (c) “Claim,” as used in this
  clause, means a written demand or written assertion by one of the contracting
  parties seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain,
  the adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief arising
  under or relating to this contract. A claim arising under a contract, unlike
  a claim relating to that contract, is a claim that can be resolved under a
  contract clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. However,
  a written demand or written assertion by the Contractor seeking the payment
  of money exceeding $100,000 is not a claim under the Act until certified as
  required by subparagraph (d)(2) of this clause. A voucher, invoice, or other
  routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a
  claim under the Act. The submission may be converted to a claim under the
  Act, by complying with the submission and certification requirements of this
  clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or amount or is not acted
  upon in a reasonable time. (d)(1) A claim by the Contractor shall be made in
  writing and, unless otherwise stated in this contract, submitted within 6
  years after accrual of the claim to the Contracting Officer for a written
  decision. A claim by the Government against the Contractor shall be subject
  to a written decision by the Contracting Officer. (2) (i) The Contractor
  shall provide the certification specified in paragraph (d)(2)(iii) of this
  clause when submitting any claim exceeding $100,000. (ii) The certification
  requirement does not apply to issues in controversy that have not been
  submitted as all or part of a claim. (iii) The certification shall state as
  follows: “I certify that the claim is made in good faith; that the supporting
  data are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief; that
  the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which
  the Contractor believes the Government is liable; and that I am duly
  authorized to certify the claim on behalf of the Contractor.” (3) The
  certification may be executed by any person duly authorized to bind the
  Contractor with respect to the claim. (e) For Contractor claims of $100,000
  or less, the Contracting Officer must, if requested in writing by the
  Contractor, render a decision within 60 days of the request. For
  Contractor-certified claims over $100,000, the Contracting Officer must,
  within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the Contractor of the date by
  which the decision will be made. (f) The Contracting Officer’s decision shall
  be final unless the Contractor appeals or files a suit as provided in the
  Act. (g) If the claim by the Contractor is submitted to the Contracting
  Officer or a claim by the Government is presented to the Contractor, the parties,
  by mutual consent, may agree to use alternative dispute resolution (ADR). If
  the Contractor refuses an offer for ADR, the Contractor shall inform the
  Contracting Officer, in writing, of the Contractor’s specific reasons for
  rejecting the offer. (h) The Government shall pay interest on the amount
  found due and unpaid from (1) the date that the Contracting Officer receives
  the claim (certified, if required); or (2) the date that payment otherwise
  would be due, if that date is later, until the date of payment. With regard
  to claims having defective certifications, as defined in FAR 33.201, interest
  shall be paid from the date that the Contracting Officer initially receives
  the claim. Simple interest on claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the
  Secretary of the Treasury as provided in the Act, which is applicable to the
  period during which the Contracting Officer receives the claim and then at
  the rate applicable for each 6-month period as fixed by the Treasury
  Secretary during the pendency of the claim. (i) The Contractor shall proceed
  diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any
  request for relief, claim, appeal, or action arising under or relating to the
  contract, and comply with any decision of the Contracting Officer.

   2. GSAR 552.232-70 INVOICE REQUIREMENTS
  (VARIATION) (SEP 1999) (This clause applies to payments other than rent.) (a)
  Invoices shall be submitted in an original only, unless otherwise specified,
  to the designated billing office specified in this contract or order. (b) Invoices
  must include the Accounting Control Transaction (ACT) number provided below
  or on the order. ACT Number (to be supplied on individual orders) (c) If

  requirements for payments other than rent. (1) The Contractor shall prepare
  and submit an invoice to the designated billing office after completion of
  the work. A proper invoice shall include the following items: (i) Name and
  address of the Contractor. (ii) Invoice date. (iii) Lease number. (iv) Government’s
  order number or other authorization. (v) Description, price, and quantity of
  work or services delivered. (vi) Name and address of Contractor official to
  whom payment is to be sent (must be the same as that in the remittance

  acceptability of the work performed or services delivered within 7 days after
  the receipt of a proper invoice or notification of completion of the work or
  services unless a different period is specified at the time the order is
  placed. If actual acceptance occurs later, for the purpose of determining the
  payment due date and calculation of interest, acceptance will be deemed to
  occur on the last day of the 7-day inspection period. If the work or service
  is rejected for failure to conform to the technical requirements of the
  contract, the 7 days will be counted beginning with receipt of a new invoice
  or notification. In either case, the Contractor is not entitled to any
  payment or interest unless actual acceptance by the Government occurs. (c) Interest
  Penalty. (1) An interest penalty shall be paid automatically by the
  Government, without request from the Contractor, If payment is not made by
  the due date. (2) The interest penalty shall be at the rate established by
  the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 12 of the Contract Disputes Act

  rate is referred to as the “Renegotiation Board Interest Rate,” and it is
  published in the Federal Register semiannually on or about January 1 and July
  1. The interest penalty shall accrue daily on the payment amount approved by
  the Government and be compounded in 30-day increments inclusive from the
  first day after the due date through the payment date. (3) Interest penalties
  will not continue to accrue after the filing of a claim for such penalties
  under the clause at 52.233-1, Disputes, or for more than 1 year. Interest
  penalties of less than $1.00 need not be paid. (4) Interest penalties are not
  required on payment delays due to disagreement between the Government and
  Contractor over the payment amount or other issues involving contract
  compliance or on amounts temporarily withheld or retained in accordance with
  the terms of the contract. Claims involving disputes, and any interest that
  may be payable, will be resolved in accordance with the clause at 52.233-1,
  Disputes. 4. GSAR 552.232-76 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER PAYMENT (SEP 1999)

   (a) In the event the premises, buildings or
  other facilities required to use the premises for the Government’s business
  (collectively, “Facilities”) are damaged or destroyed by fire or other
  casualty (which for purposes hereof shall include bombings or other terrorist
  acts by third parties), in whole or in part, the Lessor shall give the
  Government, within thirty (30) days after the Lessor becomes aware of the
  casualty, notice of the Lessor’s reasonable estimate of the time required to
  restore the Facilities to the condition that existed immediately prior to the
  casualty (the “Restoration Period”. If Lessor does not deliver the notice
  within the required time, Government may terminate the lease by giving
  written notice at any time after expiration of the time for delivery until
  receipt of the notice. (b) If restoration of the Structural Portions of the
  Premises cannot reasonably be substantially completed within one hundred
  eighty (180) days after the date of the casualty and Government’s movable
  furniture, movable equipment, trade fixtures, and other similar unaffixed
  personal property, and any alterations installed in the Premises by the
  Government cannot be reasonably be replaced or substantially completed within
  one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the casualty, the Government
  or Lessor may terminate this lease by giving written notice. The Lessor must
  give such notice with its notice of estimated time required for restoration
  of the Facilities. The Government must give its termination notice within
  fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Lessor’s estimate of time required for
  restoration however, the Government may only terminate this lease if the
  damage substantially interferes with Government’s use of or access to the
  premises and would entitle Government to an abatement of rent pursuant to
  Section 8(d) below. If the Government or Lessor gives notice of election to
  terminate pursuant to subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph, this Lease
  shall terminate effective as of the date of the casualty and neither party
  hereto shall thereafter have an obligation to the other under this Lease,
  excepting only obligations theretofore accrued and then remaining outstanding
  or unpaid. (c) Unless terminated pursuant to subparagraph (a) or (b) of this
  paragraph, this Lease shall not terminate, Lessor shall proceed with
  reasonable diligence to and shall restore the Facilities within the
  Restoration Period to substantially the condition that existed immediately
  prior to the casualty. Should Lessor fall to substantially complete the
  restoration within the Restoration Period (as it may be extended pursuant to
  Paragraph 11(c) of the General Clauses), or fall to demonstrate reasonably
  diligent progress towards substantially completing the restoration within
  such time, the Government may, by written notice to Lessor, terminate this
  Lease pursuant to Paragraph 11 of the General Clauses. Absent Lessor’s
  negligence, the Lessor shall not be obligated to repair or replace any of the
  Government’s movable furniture, movable equipment, trade fixtures, and other
  similar unaffixed personal property, nor any alterations installed in the
  Premises by the Government (but not those installed by the Lessor); the
  Government shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repair and
  replace such items. In connection with its acceptance of the restored
  Facilities, the Government may require (1) a certification from a reputable
  licensed structural engineer as to the structural integrity of the space and
  its conformance with the requirements of this Lease, as amended, and (2)
  evidence of any governmental approvals relevant to the safety and suitability
  of the Facilities for occupancy. (d) If there is a substantial interference
  with the Government’s use of the premises, or any part thereof, as a result
  of the casualty or restoration, such that the Government cannot reasonably
  conduct its business in the premises or such part, then the rent shall abate,
  either in its entirety or, if only a part of the premises is so affected, to
  that proportion which the square footage of the affected part bears to the
  square footage of the premises. Any such abatement shall commence upon and
  include the day on which the damage occurred and shall continue to and include
  the date upon which the Government can operate its mission or Lessor’s
  substantial completion of tis restoration work, whichever is earlier. Solely
  for purposes of determining the proportion of rent that shall be abated
  during such period of untenantability, any part of the premises that have not
  been rendered untenantable by such partial destruction or damage but the use
  of which by the Government is substantially related to and dependent upon the
  availability of such part of the premises that have been rendered
  untenantable by such partial destruction or damage shall be deemed to have
  been rendered untenantable for such period of untenantability. (d) The
  Government shall in all cases be provided reasonable access to the Facilities
  to retrieve its belongings and relocate its employees and agents and a
  reasonable period of time in which to effectuate such relocation and
  retrieval. The Government and the Lessor shall coordinate regarding any space
  plans and other plans for restoration of the Facilities to conform to this
  Lease, as amended, and all applicable laws; provided, however, that the
  Government shall have final approval rights to all such plans. The Government
  shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct inspections in order
  to determine the extent of damage or destruction and observe the repairs and
  reconstruction. (e) Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as relieving
  Lessor from liability for damage to or destruction of property of the United
  States of America caused by the willful or negligent act or omission of
  Lessor. 9. 552.270-8 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW (SEP 1999) Lessor shall
  comply with all Federal, state and local laws applicable to the Lessor as
  owner or lessor, or both, of the “Structural Portions” of the premises as set
  forth in Section 5.1(a) of the SFO, including, without limitation, laws
  applicable to the construction, ownership, alteration or operation of both or
  either thereof, and will obtain all necessary permits, licenses and similar
  items at Lessor’s expense. The Government will comply with all Federal, state
  and local laws applicable to and enforceable against it as a tenant under
  this lease; provided that nothing in this lease shall be construed as a
  waiver of any sovereign immunity of the Government; provided, however, that
  the Government will not be liable to the Lessor for any failure to comply
  with Federal, state and local laws. This lease shall be governed by Federal
  law. 11. 552.270-10 FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE (SEP 1999) 

  The covenant to
  pay rent and the covenant to provide any service, utility, maintenance, or
  repair required under this lease are interdependent. In the event of any
  failure by the Lessor to provide any maintenance, repair or replacement
  required to be performed by Lessor under this lease, where such failure
  continues for more than thirty (30) days after Government’s notification of
  Lessor of such failure (or such shorter period as is reasonable under the
  circumstances in cases of emergency, or with respect to non-emergency situations,
  such longer period as is reasonable under the circumstances as long as Lessor
  commences such work within such 30-day period and proceeds with diligence to
  complete same), then the Government may, by contract or otherwise, perform
  the requirement and deduct from any payment or payments under this lease,
  then or thereafter due, the resulting cost to the Government, including all
  administrative costs. If the Government elects to perform any such
  requirement, the Government and each of its contractors shall be entitled to
  access to any and all SFO NO. 01110 LESSOR’S INITIALS /s/ [ILLEGIBLE] DATE

  areas of the
  building, access to which is necessary to perform any such requirement, and
  the Lessor shall afford and facilitate such access. Alternatively, the
  Government may deduct from any payment under this lease, then or thereafter
  due, an amount which reflects the reduced value of the contract requirement
  not performed. No deduction from rent pursuant to this clause shall
  constitute a default by the Government under this lease. These remedies are
  not exclusive and are in addition to any other remedies which may be
  available under this lease or at law. 12. 552.270-11 SUCCESSORS BOUND (SEP
  1999) This lease shall bind, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and
  their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 13.

  attach fixtures, and erect structures or signs in or upon the premises hereby
  leased, which fixtures, additions or structures so placed in, on, upon, or
  attached to the said premises shall be and remain the property of the
  Government and may be removed or otherwise disposed of by the Government. The
  leased premises include the land on which the building is sited and the
  building itself. Otherwise, the Government shall have the right to tie into
  or make any physical connection with any structured located on the property
  as is reasonably necessary for appropriate utilization of the leased space.
  The Lessor walves any restoration in connection with these items, unless
  otherwise specified by lessor at time of lessons approval of alterations. If,
  after the lease term and any extended, renewal or succeeding lease term, the
  Government elects to abandon any items in place, title shall pass to Lessor. 14.
  552.270-13 PROPOSALS FOR ADJUSTMENT (SEP 1999) (a) The Contracting Officer
  may, from time to time during the term of this lease, require changes to be

  improvements, the Lessor shall submit, in a timely manner, an itemized cost

  proposal, including all subcontractor work, will contain at least the

  (identified with specific item or material to be placed or operation to be
  performed); (3) Equipment costs; (4) Worker’s compensation and public
  liability insurance; (5) Overhead; (6) Profit; and (7) Employment taxes under

  CFR 15.406-2). (d) Lessors shall also refer to 48 CFR Part 31, Contract Cost
  Principles, for information on which costs are allowable, reasonable, and
  allocable in Government work. 15. 552.270-14 CHANGES (SEP 1999) (a) The
  Contracting Officer may at any time, by written order, make changes within
  the general scope of this lease in any one or more of the following: (1) Specifications

  (4) Amount of
  space, provided the Lessor consents to the change. (b) If any such change

  following; (1) A modification of the delivery date. (2) An equitable

  shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause. However, nothing in this clause
  excuses the lessor from proceeding with the change as directed. (d) Absent
  such written change order, the Government is not liable to Lessor under this
  clause. 19. 552.270-18 DEFAULT IN DELIVERY - TIME EXTENSIONS (SEP 1999) (a) With
  respect to Lessor’s obligation to deliver to substantially complete by the
  delivery date the scope of improvements to be initially installed by Lessor

  by the delivery date or fails to substantially complete the work by such
  date, the Government may by notice perform the work on Lessor’s behalf
  pursuant to Paragraph 11. The Lessor and the Lessor’s sureties, if any, are
  jointly and severally liable for any damages to the Government resulting from
  such delay and other additional relief provided for in this lease, at law, or

  clause are due and payable thirty (30) days following the date Lessor
  receives notice from the Contracting Officer specifying such damages. (c) The

  the Contracting Officer) provides notice to the Contracting Officer of the
  causes of delay. The Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the
  extent of delay. If the facts warrant, the Contracting Officer shall extend
  the delivery date, to the extent of such delay at no additional costs to the
  Government. A time extension is the sole remedy of the Lessor. 21. 552.270-20
  PAYMENT (SEP 1999) The parties hereby stipulate that the premises contain the
  rentable and usable square feet set forth in Section 1 of Form 2 of the
  lease, and such square footage amounts are not subject to adjustment or
  remeasurement. Accordingly, there shall be no adjustment in the rent or other
  amounts set forth in this lease which are determined based upon rentable or
  usable square feet. 22. 552.270-21 EFFECT OF ACCEPTANCE AND OCCUPANCY (SEP
  1999) Neither the Government’s acceptance of the premises for occupancy, nor
  the Government’s occupancy thereof, shall be construed as a waiver of any
  requirement of or right of the Government under this Lease, or as otherwise
  prejudicing the Government with respect to any such requirement or right. 23.
  552.270-22 DEFAULT BY LESSOR DURING THE TERM (SEP 1999) (a) Each of the
  following shall constitute a default by Lessor under this lease: (1) Failure
  to maintain, repair, operate or service the premises as and when specified in
  this lease, or failure to perform any other requirement of this lease as and
  when required provided any such failure shall remain uncured for a period of

  Contracting Officer or an authorized representative (or such additional time
  as is reasonably required to cure any such default so long as Lessor
  commences to cure such default within such 30-day period and thereafter
  diligently prosecutes such cure to completion). Government will endeavor to
  provide notice of such default to “Lessor’s First Mortgagee”, as specified
  below; however, in no event shall Government’s failure to provide notice to

  Government’s exercise of its rights herein. Lessor shall provide to
  Government the name and address of Lessor’s First Mortgagee every twelve
  calendar months throughout the term of this Lease. (2) Repeated and unexcused
  failure by Lessor to comply with one or more requirements of this lease shall
  constitute a default notwithstanding that one or all such failures shall have
  been timely cured pursuant to this clause. (b) If a default occurs, the
  Government may, by notice to Lessor, terminate this lease for default and if
  so terminated, the Government shall be entitled to the damages specified in
  the Default in Delivery-Time Extensions clause. 24. 552.270-23 SUBORDINATION,
  NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT (SEP 1999) (a) Lessor warrants that it holds
  such title to or other interest in the premises and other property as is
  necessary to the Government’s access to the premises and full use and
  enjoyment thereof in accordance with the provisions of this lease. Government
  agrees, in consideration of the warranties and conditions set forth in this
  clause, that this lease is subject and subordinate to any and all recorded
  mortgages, deeds of trust and other liens now or hereafter existing or
  imposed upon the premises, and to any renewal, modification or extension
  thereof. It is the intention of the parties that this provision shall be
  self-operative and that no further instrument shall be required to effect the
  present or subsequent subordination of this lease. Government agrees,
  however, within twenty (20) business days next following the Contracting
  Officer’s receipt of a written demand, to execute such instruments as Lessor
  may reasonably request to evidence further the subordination of this lease to
  any existing or future mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest
  pertaining to the premises, and to any water, sewer or access easement
  necessary or desirable to serve the premises or adjoining property owned in
  whole or in part by Lessor if such easement does not interfere with the full
  enjoyment of any right granted the Government under this lease. (b) No such
  subordination, to either existing or future mortgages, deeds of trust or
  other lien or security instrument shall operate to affect adversely any right
  of the Government under this lease so long as the Government is not in
  default under this lease. Lessor will include in, any future mortgage, deed
  of trust or other security instrument to which this lease becomes
  subordinate, or in a separate nondisturbance agreement, a provision to the
  foregoing effect. Lessor warrants that the holders of all notes or other
  obligations secured by existing mortgages, deeds of trust or other security
  instruments have consented to the provisions of this clause, and agrees to
  provide true copies of all such consents to the Contracting Officer promptly
  upon demand. (c) In the event of any safe of the premises or any portion
  thereof by foreclosure of the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or
  other security instrument, or the giving of a deed in lieu of foreclosure,
  the Government will be deemed to have attorned to any purchaser, purchasers,
  transferee or transferees of the premises or any portion thereof and its or
  their successors and assigns, and any such purchasers and transferees will be
  deemed to have assumed all obligations of the Lessor under this lease, so as
  to establish direct privity of estate and contract between Government and
  such purchasers or transferees, with the same force, effect and relative
  priority in time and right as if the lease had initially been entered into
  between such purchasers or transferees and the Government; provided, further,
  that the Contracting Officer and such purchasers or transferees shall, with
  reasonable promptness following any such sale or deed delivery in lieu of
  foreclosure, execute all such revisions to this lease, or other writings, as
  shall be necessary to document the foregoing relationship. (d) None of the
  foregoing provisions may be deemed or construed to imply a waiver of the
  Government’s rights as a sovereign. 25. 552.270-24 STATEMENT OF LEASE (SEP
  1999) (a) The Contracting Officer will, within thirty (30) days next
  following the Contracting Officer’s receipt of a joint written request from
  Lessor and a prospective lender or purchaser of the building, execute and

  conditions stated in this clause and, if such is the case, that (1) the lease
  is in full force and effect; (2) the date to which the rent and other charges
  have been paid in advance, if any; and (3) whether any notice of default has
  been issued. (b) Letters issued pursuant to this clause are subject to the

  diligent review of the Contracting Officer’s lease file as of the date of
  issuance; (2) That the Government shall not be held liable because of any
  defect in or condition of the premises or building; (3) That the Contracting
  Officer does not warrant or represent that the premises or building comply
  with applicable Federal, State and local law; and (4) That the Lessor, and
  each prospective lender and purchaser are deemed to have constructive notice
  of such facts as would be ascertainable by reasonable prepurchase and
  precommitment inspection of the Premises and Building and by inquiry to
  appropriate Federal, State and local Government officials. 26. 552.270-25
  SUBSTITUTION OF TENANT AGENCY (SEP 1999) Upon written consent from the
  Lessor, which shall not unreasonably be withheld, the Government may, at any
  time and from time to time, substitute any Government agency or agencies for
  the Government agency or agencies, if any, named in the lease. 27. 552.270-26
  NO WAIVER (SEP 1999) No failure by either party to insist upon the strict
  performance of any provision of this lease or to exercise any right or remedy
  consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial rent

  Pricing Data. (2)(1) Except as prohibited by subdivision (c)(2)(ii) of this
  clause, an offset in an amount determined appropriate by the Contracting
  Officer based upon the facts shall be allowed against the amount of a
  contract price reduction if– (A) The Contractor certifies to the Contracting
  Officer that, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge and belief, the
  Contractor is entitled to the offset in the amount requested; and (B) The
  Contractor proves that the cost or pricing data were available before the “as
  of” date specified on its Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, and
  that the data were not submitted before such date. (ii) An offset shall not
  be allowed if— (A) The understated data were known by the Contractor to be
  understated before the “as of” date specified on its Certificate of Current
  Cost or Pricing Data; or (B) The Government proves that the facts demonstrate
  that the contract price would not have increased in the amount to be offset
  even if the available data had been submitted before the “as of” date
  specified on its Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data. SFO NO. 01110

  the price reduction, the Contractor shall be liable to and shall pay the
  United States at the time such overpayment is repaid— (1) Simple interest on
  the amount of such overpayment to be computed from the date(s) of overpayment

  under FAR 15.403-1 applies. (b) The Contractor shall require the
  subcontractor to certify in substantially the form prescribed in FAR 15.406-2

  date of agreement on the negotiated price of the subcontract or subcontract
  modification. (c) In each subcontract that exceeds the threshold for
  submission of cost or pricing data at FAR 15.403-4, when entered into, the

  Report for Individual Contracts. This report shall be submitted to the
  Contracting Officer semiannually and at contract completion. The report
  covers subcontract award data related to this contract. This report is not
  required for commercial plans. (2) Standard Form 295, Summary Subcontract
  Report. This report encompasses all the contracts with the awarding agency.
  It must be submitted semi-annually for contracts with the Department of
  Defense and annually for contracts with civilian agencies. If the reporting
  activity is covered by a commercial plan, the reporting activity must report
  annually all subcontract awards under that plan. All reports submitted at the
  close of each fiscal year (both individual and commercial plans) shall
  include a breakout, in the Contractor’s format, of subcontract awards, in
  whole dollars, to small disadvantaged business concerns by Standard
  Industrial Classification (SIC) Major Group. For a commercial plan, the
  Contractor may obtain from each of its subcontractors a predominant SIC Major
  Group and report all awards to that subcontractor under its predominant SIC
  Major Group. 74. 52.219-16 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES – SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (JAN
  1999) (a) “Failure to make a good faith effort to comply with the
  subcontracting plan”, as used in this clause, means a willful or intentional
  failure to perform in accordance with the requirements of the subcontracting
  plan approved under the clause in this contract entitled “Small Business
  Subcontracting Plan,” or willful or intentional action to frustrate the plan.
  (b) Performance shall be measured by applying the percentage goals to the
  total actual subcontracting dollars or, if a commercial plan is involved, to
  the pro rata share of actual subcontracting dollars attributable to
  Government contracts covered by the commercial plan. If, at contract
  completion or, in the case of a commercial plan, at the close of the fiscal
  year for which the plan is applicable, the Contractor has failed to meet its
  subcontracting goals and the Contracting Officer decides in accordance with
  paragraph (c) of this clause that the Contractorfailed to make a good faith
  effort to comply with its subcontracting plan, established in accordance with
  the clause in this contract entitled “Small Business Subcontracting Plan,”
  the Contractor shall pay the Government liquidated damages in an amount
  stated. The amount of probable damages attributable to the Contractor’s
  failure to comply shall be an amount equal to the actual dollar amount by
  which the Contractor failed to achieve each subcontract goal. (c) Before the
  Contracting Officer makes a final decision that the Contractor has failed to
  make such good faith effort, the Contracting Officer shall give the
  Contractor written notice specifying the failure and permitting the
  Contractor to demonstrate what good faith efforts have been made and to
  discuss the matter. Failure to respond to the notice may be taken as an
  admission that no valid explanation exists. If, after consideration of all
  the pertinent data, the Contracting Officer finds that the Contractor failed
  to make a good faith effort to comply with the subcontracting plan, the Contracting
  Officer shall issue a final decision to that effect and require that the
  Contractor pay the Government liquidated damages as provided in paragraph (b)
  of this clause. (d) With respect to commercial plans, the Contracting Officer
  who approved the plan will perform the functions of the Contracting Officer
  under this clause on behalf of all agencies with contracts covered by the
  commercial plan. (e) The Contractor shall have the right of appeal, under the
  clause in this contract entitled, Disputes, from any final decision of the
  Contracting Officer. (f) Liquidated damages shall be in addition to any other
  remedies that the Government may have. 75. 52.219-25 SMALL DISADVANTAGED
  BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PROGRAM - DISADVANTAGED STATUS AND REPORTING (OCT 1999)
  (a) Disadvantaged status for joint venture partners, team members, and
  subcontractors. This clause addresses disadvantaged status for joint venture
  partners, teaming arrangement members, and subcontractors and is applicable
  if this contract contains small disadvantaged business (SDB) participation
  targets. The Contractor shall obtain representations of small disadvantaged
  status from joint venture partners, teaming arrangement members, and
  subcontractors through use of a provision substantially the same as paragraph
  (b)(1)(i) of the provision at FAR 52.219-22, Small Disadvantaged Business
  Status. The Contractor shall confirm that a joint venture partner, team
  member, or subcontractor representing itself as a small disadvantaged
  business concern, is identified as a certified small disadvantaged business
  in the database maintained by the Small Business Administration (PRO-Net) or
  by contacting the SBA’s Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Certification
  and Eligibility. (b) Reporting requirement. If this contract contains SDB
  participation targets, the Contractor shall report on the participation of
  SDB concerns at contract completion, or as otherwise provided in this
  contract. Reporting may be on Optional Form 312, Small Disadvantaged SFO NO.

  DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PROGRAM - INCENTIVE SUBCONTRACTING (FEB
  2000) (a) Of the total dollars it plans to spend under subcontracts, the
  Contractor has committed itself in its offer to try to award a certain amount
  to small disadvantaged business concerns in the Standard Industrial
  Classification (SIC) Major Groups as determined by the Department of
  Commerce. (b) If the Contractor exceeds its total monetary target for
  subcontracting to small disadvantaged business concerns in the authorized SIC
  Major Groups, it will receive a negotiated percentage of the dollars in
  excess of the monetary target, unless the Contracting Officer determines that
  the excess was not due to the Contractor’s efforts (e.g., a subcontractor
  cost overrun caused the actual subcontract amount to exceed that estimated in
  the offer, or the excess was caused by the award of subcontracts that had
  been planned but had not been disclosed in the offer during contract
  negotiations). Determinations made under this paragraph are unilateral
  decisions made solely at the discretion of the Government. (c) If this is a
  cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, the sum of the fixed fee and the incentive fee
  earned under this contract may not exceed the limitations in subsection
  15.404-4 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. 77. LESSOR’S RESERVATION OF

  If an offeror proposes to satisfy the requirements of this Solicitation for
  Offers through the construction of a new building or the complete
  rehabilitation or reconstruction of an existing building, and where the
  Government will be the sole or predominant tenant such that any other use of
  the building will be functionally or quantitatively incidental to the

  Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.300) shall require or permit any such
  laborers or mechanics in any workweek in which the individual is employed on
  such work to work in excess of 40 hours in such workweek unless such laborer
  or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than 1 1/2 times the
  basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in such
  workweek. (b) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In
  the event of any violation of the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of

  be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such Contractor and
  subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (In the case of work done
  under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District
  or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall
  be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic employed in
  violation of the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause in the
  sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or
  permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of 40 hours without
  payment of the overtime wages required by provisions set forth in paragraph
  (a) of this clause. (c) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages.
  The Contracting Officer shall upon his or her own action or upon written
  request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold
  or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed
  by the Contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other
  Federal contract with the same Prime Contractor, or any other federally
  assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act
  which is held by the same Prime Contractor, such sums as may be determined to
  be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such Contractor or subcontractor

  mechanics working on the contract. Such records shall contain the name and
  address of each such employee, social security number, correct
  classifications, hourly rates of wages paid, daily and weekly number of hours
  worked, deductions made, and actual wages paid. Nothing in this paragraph
  shall require the duplication of records required to be maintained for
  construction work by Department of Labor regulations at 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)
  implementing the Davis-Bacon Act. (2) The records to be maintained under
  paragraph (d)(1) of this clause shall be made

  transcription by authorized representatives of the Contracting Officer or the
  Department of Labor. The Contractor or subcontractor shall permit such
  representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job. (e)
  Subcontracts. The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any
  subcontracts exceeding $100,000 the provisions set forth in paragraphs (a)
  through (e) of this clause and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to

  shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor
  with the provisions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this clause.
  2. 52.222-6 DAVIS-BACON ACT (FEB 1995) (a) All laborers and mechanics
  employed or working upon the site of the work will be paidun conditionally
  and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or
  rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by
  regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR
  Part 3), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash
  equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than
  those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is
  attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual
  relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such
  laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated
  for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on
  behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
  mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this clause; also,
  regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period
  (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which
  cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or
  incurred during such period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid not
  less than the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits in the wage
  determination for the classification of work actually performed, without
  regard to skill, except as provided in the clause entitled Apprentices and
  Trainees. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
  classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification
  for the time actually worked therein; provided, That the employer’s payroll

  Contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and
  accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers. (b)(1) The
  Contracting Officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics
  which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed
  under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage
  determination. The Contracting Officer shall approve an additional
  classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefor only when all the
  following criteria have been met: SFO NO. 01110 GSA FORM 3517 LESSOR’S

  be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a
  classification in the wage determination. (ii) The classification is utilized
  in the area by the construction industry. (iii) The proposed wage rate, including
  any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage
  rates contained in the wage determination. (2) If the Contractor and the
  laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or
  their representatives, and the Contracting Officer agree on the
  classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe
  benefits, where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by
  the Contracting Officer to the Administrator of the: Wage and Hour Division

  or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of
  receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting
  Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary. (3) In
  the event the Contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the
  classification, or their representatives, and the Contracting Officer do not
  agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount
  designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the Contracting Officer
  shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and
  the recommendation of the Contracting Officer, to the administrator of the
  Wage and Hour Division for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized
  representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the
  Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is
  necessary. (4) The wage rate (including fringe benefits, where appropriate)
  determined pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause shall
  be paid to all workers performing work in the classification under this
  contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
  (c) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of
  laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an
  hourly rate, the Contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the
  wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly
  cash equivalent thereof. (d) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee
  or other third person, the Contractor may consider as part of the wages of
  any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in
  providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program; provided. That
  the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Contractor,
  that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The
  Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a separate
  account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program. 3.
  52.222-7 WITHHOLDING OF FUNDS (FEB 1988) The Contracting Officer shall, upon
  his or her own action or upon written request of an authorized representative

  Contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered
  necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and
  helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of
  wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or
  mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working
  on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required by the contract,

  such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further
  payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. 4.

  relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course of
  the work and preserved for a period of 3 years thereafter for all laborers
  and mechanics working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the
  name, address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her
  correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of
  contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash
  equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1(b)(2)(B)
  of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions
  made, and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found, under
  paragraph (d) of the clause entitled Davis-Bacon Act, that the wages of any
  laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in
  providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of
  the Davis-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records which show that
  the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or
  program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been
  communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records
  which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing
  such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved
  programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of
  apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the
  registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates

  authorized representatives of the Contracting Officer or the Department of
  Labor. The Contractor or subcontractor shall permit the Contracting Officer
  or representatives of the Contracting Officer or the Department of Labor to
  interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or
  subcontractor fails to submit required records or to make them available, the
  Contracting Officer may, after written notice to the Contractor, take such
  action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment.
  Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make
  such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR
  5.12. 5. 52.222-9 APPRENTICES AND TRAINEES (FEB 1988) (a) Apprentices,
  Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for
  the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually
  registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S.
  Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of
  Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized
  by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of
  probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program,
  who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified
  by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency
  (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an
  apprentice. The allow- able ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job
  site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio
  permitted to the Contractor as to the entire work force under the registered
  program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is
  not registered or otherwise employed as stated in this paragraph, shall be
  paid not less than the applicable wage determination for the classification
  of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on
  the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program
  shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
  determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is
  performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which
  its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in
  percentages of the journeyman’s hourly rate) specified in the Contractor’s or
  subcontractor’s registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must
  be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the
  apprentice’s level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman
  hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall
  be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
  apprenticeship program. if the apprenticeship
  program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full
  amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable
  classification. if the Administrator determines that
  a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification,
  fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the
  Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency
  recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program,
  the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less
  than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
  acceptable program is approved. (b) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR
  5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined
  rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and
  individually registered in a program which has received prior approval,
  evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment
  and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job
  site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the
  Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not
  less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee’s level
  of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
  specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe
  benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the
  trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the
  full amount of fringe benefits listed in the wage determination unless the
  Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship
  program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate in the wage
  determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for
  apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan
  approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less
  than the applicable wage rate in the wage determination for the
  classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee
  performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
  registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate in
  the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the
  Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training
  program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at
  less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
  acceptable program is approved. SFO NO. 01110 GSA FORM 3517 LESSOR’S INITIALS
