      THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is entered into as of the 31st day of December, 2008 by and between
Ore Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Philip L.
Rohrer, Jr.   (the “Executive”).

      

      Executive
has served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer since 1999
under terms of an Executive Employment Agreement dated October 11, 1999 that was
amended by a First Amendment dated as of October 24, 2006 (the “First
Amendment”) and a Second Amendment dated on May 8, 2007 but as of the 23rd day of February,
2007(the “Second Amendment”),  a Third Amendment dated as of
January 1, 2008 and a Fourth Amendment  dated November 17,
2008  (said agreement and amendments being herein referred to
collectively as the “Prior Agreement”). The Company desires to continue the
services of Executive and Executive desires to continue to perform such services
for the Company on the terms and conditions as set forth in this
Agreement.

      

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made below, the parties agree
as follows:

      

          1.         Employment,
Duties and Acceptance.

      

              1.1           Employment.  (a)
From and after January 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”),  the Company
shall continue to employ the Executive as the Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer  (collectively “CFO”) of the Company upon the terms herein
provided.  In such capacity, the Executive shall perform such
executive, financial and management duties and assume such other
responsibilities as may be assigned from time to time by the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer (“CEO”)  and/or the Board of Directors and that are
appropriate to his role as CFO.  The Executive agrees to continue such
employment and shall perform his duties faithfully and to the best of his
abilities.

      

              (b)           On
the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede and replace the Prior
Agreement with regard to all terms of employment for the period from the
Effective Date through the end of the term herein specified.

      

              (c)           The
Executive shall devote his full working time and creative energies to the
performance of his duties hereunder and will at all times devote such time and
efforts as are reasonably sufficient for fulfilling the significant
responsibilities entrusted to him.  So long as such activities, in the
aggregate, do not interfere in a material way with the performance by the
Executive of his duties hereunder, the Executive shall be permitted a reasonable
amount of time to (i) supervise his and his family’s personal, passive
investments and (ii) participate (as board member, officer or volunteer) in
civic, political and charitable activities.  In particular, the
Executive currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Washington County Health System  and may continue to serve in that
position throughout the Term of this Agreement. If the Executive wishes to
undertake any outside activities other than those permitted above, including any
activities for which he would receive compensation in any form, the Executive
must obtain prior written approval of the Chairman of the Board of
Directors.

      

              1.2           Place of
Employment.  The Executive's principal place of employment
shall be at the Company’s headquarters in Gaithersburg Maryland or at such other
location in  Montgomery, Howard and Frederick Counties in Maryland to
which such headquarters may be relocated, subject to such travel as may be
reasonably required by his employment pursuant to the terms hereof.

      

              1.3           Workweek.  This
Agreement contemplates that Executive will work full-time for the Company.
However, If the CEO and CFO mutually  agree at any time that his
duties do not require full-time employment for reasons (including because the
Board of Directors decision to not pursue alternative merger partners or secure
additional financing), then (a) his workweek maybe reduced for any period that
full-time employment is not required to four (4) days per week for approximately
thirty (30) hours per week, subject to Executive’s  rights to take
holidays under section 3.6  and paid time off under Section 3.5and (b)
his pay and accrual of paid time off would be adjusted for any such
period  to seventy –five percent (75%) of the rates normally
applicable to reflect that reduction in workweek. Any such adjustment would not
affect his salary rate for purposes of determining payments or benefits due upon
termination of employment, including payment for accrued but unused paid time
off.  If his workweek is reduced as permitted hereby, the CFO and CEO
may agree at any time that Executive would be restored to full-time
employment.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      

          2.         Term of
Employment.  The Executive’s term of employment with the Company
(the “Term”) under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and
continue thereafter through December 31, 2009 unless earlier terminated by
either party pursuant to Section 4, subject to certain rights upon termination
as provided in Section 4.  If Executive’s employment hereunder with
the Company is terminated by the Executive or by the Company, Executive shall
thereby be removed from, and Executive agrees to resign immediately from, all
other positions with the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries
(collectively the “ORE Group”). If the Company desires to extend the Term, the
Executive agrees to consider in good faith any proposal for continued employment
made by the Company but shall not be under any obligation to agree to any such
proposal.

      

          3.         Compensation.

      

              3.1           Salary.  As
compensation for all services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement and
subject to Section 1.3 above, the Company shall pay to the Executive during the
Term a salary at the rate of $275,000.00 per annum (the “Base Salary”) less such
deductions as shall be required to be withheld by applicable tax and other laws
and regulations or as otherwise authorized by the Executive.  The Base
Salary is based on full-time employment, but actual pay shall be subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 1.3. The Base Salary shall accrue from and
after the Effective Date, and shall be payable during the Term, in arrears in
equal periodic installments, not less frequently than semi-monthly. The Base
Salary shall be prorated if the Executive is not employed by the Company for an
entire year based on the portion of the year in which Executive is employed on a
full-time basis by the Company.

      

              3.2           Incentive
Compensation.  Executive will not be eligible to participate in
any incentive compensation plan established by the Company’s Board of Directors
(the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation
Committee”). In lieu thereof, the Executive shall receive Retention Incentive
Payments as described in Section 3.3. Notwithstanding the above, if Executive
becomes entitled to receive payments under the Company’s Executive Severance
Plan, he shall for purposes of payments under that plan only be deemed to be
entitled to a bonus for 2009 upon achievement of 100% of applicable targets
equal to 50% of his annual salary.

      

              3.3           Retention
Incentive Payments.  To retain the
services of Executive, the Company shall pay to Executive the following
retention payments, less applicable withholding and authorized
deductions:

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                If
      Executive continues to be employed through March 31, 2009, within fifteen
      days thereafter he shall receive a retention  incentive payment
      of $91,667.00

              

      

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                If
      Executive continues to be employed through June 30, 2009, within fifteen
      days thereafter he shall receive a retention  incentive payment
      of $91667.00

              

      

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                If
      Executive continues to be employed through September 30, 2009, within
      fifteen days thereafter he shall receive a retention  incentive
      payment of $91,666.00

              

      

      

      If
Executive ‘s employment terminates other than as a
result of termination by the Company without cause, prior to an above date, he
shall not receive the retention payments due for continuation of employment
after the date of his termination. If Executive’s employment is terminated by
the Company without cause prior to any such date, he shall also receive the
retention payments he would have received as if he continued  to be
employed by the Company through September 30, 2009, subject to the requirements
of a release as specified in Section 4.7(b).

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      In the
event of termination without cause, payment of the retention payments not
previously paid shall be accelerated and shall be made not later than the first
normal Company payday that is at least 15 days after the date on which his
rights to revoke the release required by Section 4.7(b) expire.

      

      Notwithstanding
the above, if the Executive’s workweek is reduced as provided in Section 1.3,
then the payments hereunder shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis  for
any portion of the first nine months of 2009  that Executive is not
working full-time.

      

              3.4           Participation
in Benefit Plans.  The Executive shall be permitted during the
Term, to the extent eligible, to participate in any group life, medical, dental,
vision, or disability insurance plans, accidental death and dismemberment plan,
401(k) plan, or similar benefit plans of the Company which may be available
generally to other senior executives of the Company, but nothing herein shall
prevent the Company from adding to, changing or eliminating such benefits from
time to time.

      

              3.5           Paid Time
Off.  The Executive shall accrue and may use paid time off
(“PTO”) in accordance with the Company’s policies, except that if his workweek
is reduced pursuant to  Section 1.3 for any period , his PTO accrual
during such period shall be at a rate which is 75% of the rate applicable under
the Prior Agreement and Company policies, as provided in Section
1.3.

      

              3.6           Holidays.  The
Executive shall be eligible for holidays in accordance with the Company’s policy
and schedule.

      

              3.7           Expenses.  In
accordance with the Company’s policies, the Executive will be reimbursed for all
ordinary, necessary and reasonable business expenses (including, without
limitation, travel, meetings, dues, subscriptions, fees and educational
expenses) actually incurred or paid by the Executive during the Term in the
proper performance of the Executive's services under this Agreement, upon
presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting
information as the Company or Board may reasonably require.

      

              3.8           [intentionally
omitted]

      

              3.9           Withholding.  The
Company is authorized to withhold from the amount of any Base Salary, Retention
Incentive Payments, bonuses and any other payments or benefits paid or provided
to or for the benefit of the Executive, all sums authorized by the Executive or
required to be withheld by law, court decree, or executive order, including (but
not limited to) such things as income taxes, employment taxes, and employee
contributions to fringe benefit plans sponsored by the Company.

      

              3.10.           Change of
Control.  The Executive shall continue to be included in the
Company’s Executive Severance Plan (the “Change-of-Control Severance Plan”),
which provides certain benefits if the Executive’s employment is terminated in
connection with  a change in control of the Company, provided that to
the extent Executive has earned any Retention Incentive payments as described in
Section 3.3 herein, such payments shall be deemed to be bonus payments under the
Change-of-Control Severance Plan that offset any severance payable
thereunder (including both bonus and 12
months base pay), notwithstanding any language in
the  Change-of-Control Severance Plan that limits such offset to bonus
only.

      

          4.         Termination.

      

              4.1           General.  The employment of
the Executive hereunder may be terminated as provided in this Section
4.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

              4.2           Termination
Upon Mutual Agreement.  The Company and
the Executive may, by mutual written agreement, terminate this Agreement and/or
the employment of the Executive at any time.

      

              4.3           Death or
Disability of Executive.

      

              (a)           The
employment of the Executive hereunder shall terminate upon (i) the death of
the Executive, or (ii) at the option of the Company upon not less than
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Executive or his personal
representative or guardian, if the Executive suffers a Total Disability (as
defined in Section 4.3(b)
below).

      

              (b)           For
purposes of this Agreement, “Total Disability” shall mean (i) if the
Executive is subject to a legal decree of incompetency (the date of such decree
being deemed the date on which such disability occurred), or (ii) the
written determination by a physician reasonably selected by the Executive or his
personal representative or guardian and reasonably acceptable to the Company
that, because of a medically determinable disease, injury or other physical or
mental disability, the Executive is substantially unable to perform his
essential duties, without reasonable accommodation, and that such disability has
lasted for the immediately preceding ninety (90) days and is, as of the date of
written determination, reasonably expected to last an additional ninety (90)
days or longer after the date of determination.  Executive agrees to
appear at a medical examination by a physician selected and accepted as
described above and to furnish to such physician such medical information as is
reasonably needed for a determination under this Section 4.3(b). Nothing in
this provision is intended to restrict rights or obligations under the Americans
with Disabilities Act or other applicable law.

      

              (c)           Any
leave on account of illness or temporary disability which is short of Total
Disability shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Executive and
in no event shall any party be entitled to terminate this Agreement for Cause
(as defined below) due to any such leave.  All physicians selected
hereunder shall be Board certified in an appropriate specialty closely related
to the nature of the disability alleged to exist.

      

              4.4           Termination
For Cause.  The Company may,
upon action of the Board and upon written notice to the Executive specifying in
reasonable detail the reason therefor, terminate the employment of the Executive
at any time for Cause (as defined in Attachment A); provided, however, that if
the reason for termination for Cause is susceptible of cure as determined by the
Company, the Executive shall have a period of fifteen (15) business days after
such written notice to effect a cure satisfactory to the Company and, if so
cured, such termination in such instance shall be deemed withdrawn, but any such
withdrawal shall not affect the right of the Company to initiate a
termination  for any other cause or in any other instance, including a
recurrence of the circumstances that led to the initial decision to
terminate.

       

      
                4.5    Termination
Without Cause.

      

       

              (a)    The Company may also
terminate the employment of the Executive without Cause upon 30 days advance
written notice to the Executive, which termination shall constitute a
“Termination Without Cause”.  Termination without Cause shall not
include a termination due to death or Total Disability or a resignation by
Executive (other than for “Good Reason”), but shall include an expiration of the
term of this agreement.  The Company may limit the activities of the
Executive on behalf of the Company during such thirty day period or assign
transitional or other duties not inconsistent with the position held by the
Executive or provide pay in lieu of such notice.

       

              (b)           
Executive may also resign for Good Reason as defined in Attachment B hereto and
any such resignation for Good Reason shall be deemed a Termination Without Cause
by the Company.  If Executive claims that his resignation is for Good
Reason, his written notice to the Company must so state and state the
circumstances that he believes constitute Good Reason. If the termination is for
Good Reason, then Executive shall be entitled to receive the same payments and
benefits (subject to the same terms) under Section 4.7 that he would have
received if the Company had terminated his employment without
cause.

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

              4.6           Termination
by Executive.  The Executive may
resign (and thereby terminate his employment under this Agreement) at any time,
by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Company,
but the Company after receipt of such notice, may waive all or part of such
notice period, provided that the Company shall pay the Executive salary for such
notice period, whether or not waived.

      

              4.7           Payments
Upon Termination Without Cause.

      

              (a)           
If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (including
a termination for Good Reason), the Company shall pay the Executive or provide
the Executive with the following benefits:

      

      (i)  The
amounts due and unpaid, if any, under Section 3.3

      

      (ii)
Payment by the Company of the group health insurance premium for post-employment
coverage (including without limitation medical, dental and vision coverage) for
which Executive is eligible, and which the Executive timely elects under COBRA
because of his prior employment by Company for a period equal to the lesser of
(x) twelve (12) months or (y) until Executive becomes eligible for coverage
under a new employer’s group health plan. Such payment will also include
coverage for any dependents of Executive who are eligible for, and timely elect
and remain eligible for, coverage under COBRA for the same period as Executive.
Such payment is for a period that is part of, and not in addition to, the total
period of eligibility for continuation of health insurance benefits to which
Executive, and/or the covered dependents, are entitled under
COBRA.  Executive agrees to promptly notify Company when he becomes
eligible for coverage under a new employer’s group health plan

      

      (iii)  Outplacement
services paid for and through a program and vendor selected by Company and at a
level appropriate for an executive for a period not to exceed six (6) months,
and in no event costing more than fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00), to be
used and completed within twelve (12) months after termination of employment,
unless otherwise agreed in writing by Company, but in no event later than the
end of the second calendar year following the year of
termination.  Executive may not elect any payment in lieu of such
outplacement services and such services will only become available after any
release required under subsection (b) below is signed and the revocation period
specified therein has been completed without revocation

      

              (b)        Any
payments made or benefits provided under this Section 4.7 will be conditioned
upon execution by Executive of a comprehensive and full release of all claims
arising from or connected with his employment by the Company in such form as may
be specified by the Company (excluding from any such release any rights
Executive may have to (x) indemnification or to insurance coverage with respect
to his actions while employed by the Company, whether by policy, contract or
otherwise, under Directors and officers or other insurance maintained by the
Company or under the Company’s indemnification policies and agreements and
applicable law concerning indemnification, (y) coverage at the Executive's
expense under applicable heath care policies to the extent Executive is entitled
to continued coverage under COBRA) and (z) payment of compensation earned
but  not paid prior to termination).  Such release shall be
presented to Executive as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than
ten (10) days following Executive's termination of employment.  The
release must be signed and returned to Company by Executive no later than
twenty-one (21) days after Executive's receipt of the release, or such longer
time limit stated in the release, and must not be revoked within the period
allowed for revocation as stated in the release in order for Executive to become
entitled to the severance and other benefits hereunder.

      

              (c)        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary above, if the Executive is eligible for and has met the
conditions for receiving cash severance and benefits under the Change-of-Control
Severance Plan, then the provisions set forth in the Change-of-Control Severance
Plan shall apply in lieu of severance and benefits under this Agreement,
including without limitation this Section 4.7.  If Executive becomes
entitled to cash severance and other benefits under the Change-of-Control
Severance Plan, , the retention incentive payments described in Sections 3.3 and
4.7(a) of this Agreement shall be credited against the cash severance (including
12 months pay and bonus)  and benefits due under the Change-of-Control
Severance Plan.  In no event shall the aggregate severance and other
severance benefits actually paid and provided to Executive as the result of a
termination of Executive's employment exceed the greater of the payments and
benefits under (i) Section 4.7(a) of this Agreement or (ii) Section 3 and other
applicable provisions of the Change-of-Control Severance Plan.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

              (d)        The
Company shall have no further liability to the Executive pursuant to this
Agreement, in the event of termination by the Company in a Termination Without
Cause except as set forth in this Section 4.7 including, without limitation, any
liability to pay the Executive any severance, bonus or any other
compensation.

      

              (e)        The
Company also waives, releases and remises (A) any obligation or duty under
applicable law on the part of the Executive to seek or obtain other engagements
or employment or to otherwise mitigate any damages to which the Executive may be
entitled by reason of any termination of this Agreement; and (B) any right in or
claim to any remuneration or compensation received by Executive pursuant to any
engagements or employment subsequent to the termination of this
Agreement.

      

              4.8       Payments upon Termination
for Cause or due to Death or Disability of the Executive

      

      (a)       If
the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company for Cause, or (ii)
by the Executive (other than for Good Reason) , then the Company shall have no
duty to make any payments or provide any benefits to the Executive pursuant to
this Agreement other than payment of the amount of the Executive’s Base Salary
and benefits accrued through the date of termination of his
employment.

      

      (b)   Upon termination of
Executive's employment for death or Total Disability, the Company shall pay to
the Executive, or to his guardian or personal representative, as the case may
be, in addition to any insurance or disability benefits to which he may be
entitled under applicable insurance and benefit programs contemplated by Section
3.4 and  then in effect, all amounts accrued or vested prior to such
termination.  The Company shall have no further liability to the
Executive, guardian or personal representative pursuant to this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any liability to pay the Executive, guardian or
personal representative any severance, bonus or any other
compensation.

      

              4.9       No
Disparaging Comments Upon Termination.

      

              Upon termination of
this Agreement and thereafter, the Executive shall refrain from making any
disparaging remarks about the businesses, services, products, stockholders,
officers, directors or other personnel of the ORE Group.

      

          5.         Certain
Covenants of the Executive.

      

              5.1           Necessity
for Covenants.  The Executive acknowledges that (i) the
ORE  Group (as defined below) is engaged and will in the future be
engaged in the Business as defined below in this Agreement; (ii) his
employment pursuant to this Agreement will give him access to customers and
suppliers of the ORE  Group; (iii) his employment will give him access
to confidential information and other trade secrets concerning the
ORE  Group’s products, services and the Business and (iv) the
agreements and covenants contained in this Section 5 are essential

5.3.1 Restrictions.  During
the Term and for a period of one (1) year  after the date (the
“Termination Date”) the Executive's employment hereunder is
terminated  (the “Restricted Period”) regardless of whether such
termination is voluntary or involuntary, with or without Cause or by
resignation, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on
behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, whether as a
principal, agent, employee, stockholder, partner, officer, member, adviser,
consultant, director, sole proprietor, or otherwise:

      

              (a)           call

Business Contact to provide to any other person, firm, corporation or other
entity licensed technology or goods or services which are the same as or similar
to those the Business Contact provided to the ORE  Group or to develop
therapeutic products and technologies that would directly compete with those
being developed by the Ore Group;

      

              (b)           solicit,

              (c)           make

that Executive may respond accurately and fully to any questions, inquiry or
request for information when required by legal process or in response to an
inquiry from an administrative agency.;

      

              (d)           interfere
in any way with the Business, prospects or personnel of the ORE  Group
in existence prior to the Termination Date or contemplated by the
ORE  Group during such period; or

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

              (e)           render
services in any capacity (other than services unrelated to the Business) to, or
become affiliated with, any person, company or other entity engaged in any
business that competes with the Business within the Service Area;

       

      provided,
however, that the Executive may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an
investment, securities which are publicly traded if the Executive (a) is
not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, the issuer
and (b) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of
securities of the issuer.

      

                    
5.3.2           Severability
of Covenants.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal
scope and in all respects.  If any court determines that any of the
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall
be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

      

                    
5.3.3           Blue-Penciling.  If
any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof,
is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision,
such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such
provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall
then be enforceable and shall be enforced.  If any such court declines
to so revise such covenant, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a
modification that will make such duration or scope enforceable.

      

              5.4           Rights
and Remedies Upon Breach.  If the Executive breaches, or
threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of Section 5.3 (the “Restrictive
Covenants”), the Company shall, in addition to its right immediately to
terminate this Agreement for Cause, have the right and remedy (which right and
remedy shall be independent of others and severally enforceable, and which shall
be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available
to the Company under law or in equity) to have the Restrictive Covenants
specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged
and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach could cause irreparable
injury to the Company and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy
to the Company.

      

          6.   Representations
of Executive.  The Executive represents and warrants
that:

       

      (a)  his employment by the Company
will not (i) violate any non-disclosure agreements, covenants against
competition, or other restrictive covenants or agreements made by the Executive
with, to or for the benefit of any previous employer or partner, or (ii) violate
or constitute a breach or default under, any statute, law, judgment, order,
decree, writ, injunction, deed, instrument, contract, lease, license or permit
to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is
bound;

       

          (b) there is
no litigation, proceeding or investigation of any nature (either civil or
criminal) which is pending or, to the best of the Executive's knowledge,
threatened against or affecting the Executive or which would adversely affect
his ability to substantially perform the duties herein; and

       

          (c) he has
received or been given the opportunity to review the provisions of this
Agreement, and the meaning and effect of each provision, with independent legal
counsel of the Executive's choosing.

      

          7.         Confidentiality
and Proprietary Inventions Agreement.  The provisions set forth
in the Company’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement previously
signed by the Executive and  dated October 11, 1998, which is
expressly incorporated herein by reference thereto, shall continue in
effect.

      

          8.         Dispute
Resolution.

      

              8.1           Arbitration
Policy.  Subject to the Company’s right to seek injunctive or
other equitable relief as specified in Section 5.4 of this Agreement or in the
Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, the Parties agree that
arbitration is the required and exclusive forum for the resolution of any and
all disputes between them, including claims arising under statute, common law,
or this Agreement.  This mandatory arbitration provision includes
without limitation any claims or actions under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (“Section 1981”), the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, and any other federal, state or local statute,
law or regulation regarding employment, employment discrimination, terms and
conditions of employment, compensation or termination of
employment.  This mandatory arbitration provision includes any dispute
between the Executive and the Company or its parents, subsidiaries and
affiliates, and its and their current and former officers, directors, employees
and agents.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          8

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

              Any covered dispute
must be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the National Rules for the
Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association.  Any such arbitration will be conducted in Montgomery
County, Maryland, and will be decided in accordance with and determined by the
laws of the State of Maryland and/or applicable federal law.  The
Executive specifically agrees that the Company may seek specific performance of
this provision, as well as other injunctive relief, from the state or federal
courts in Maryland.  The arbitrator shall not have the authority to
award punitive damages, costs or attorneys’ fees to either Party except where
expressly provided for by the applicable law.

      

              Except as otherwise
provided by applicable law, the administrative costs of the arbitration (filing
fees, cost for the arbitration site, other AAA fees, arbitrator’s fee) shall be
divided equally between the parties.  In the event that the National
Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association, any express statutory provisions, or controlling case law conflicts
with this allocation and requires the payment of administrative costs of
arbitration by the Company, the administrative costs of arbitration will be paid
by the Company. The fees and expenses of any witness shall be paid by the Party
requiring the presence of such witness.  Each Party shall bear its own
costs and expenses in all other respects.  The resolution of any
dispute achieved through such arbitration shall be final and binding and
enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction.

      

              8.2           No Jury
Trial.  NEITHER PARTY SHALL ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED
WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

      

              8.3    Personal
Jurisdiction.  Both parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction
and venue of the state courts in Montgomery County, Maryland as to matters
involving enforcement of this Agreement, including any award under an
arbitration proceeding.

          9.         Other
Provisions.

       

              9.1           Notices.  Any
notice or other communication required or which may be given hereunder shall be
in writing and shall be delivered personally, telegraphed, telexed, sent by
facsimile transmission, sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service
such as FedEx or UPS or sent by certified, registered or express mail, postage
paid, and shall be deemed given when so delivered personally, telegraphed,

              9.2           Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, with respect
thereto.

      

              9.3           Waivers
and Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended, modified,
superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions hereof
may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and a duly
authorized officer of the Company (each of the Executive and Company, in such
capacity, a party) or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving
compliance.  No delay on the part of any party in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege hereunder,
nor any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege hereunder.

      

              9.4           Governing
Law.  This Agreement has been negotiated and is to be performed
in the State of Maryland, and shall be governed and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Maryland applicable to agreements made and to be
performed entirely within such State, without regard to conflicts of laws
provisions.

      

              9.5           Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

      

              9.6           Confidentiality.  Neither
party shall disclose the contents of this Agreement to any person, firm or
entity, except the agents or representatives of the parties, or except as
required by law.

      

              9.7           Word
Forms.  Whenever used herein, the singular shall include the
plural and the plural shall include the singular.  The use of any
gender or tense shall include all genders and tenses.

      

              9.8           Headings.  The
Section headings have been included for convenience only, are not part of this
Agreement, and are not to be used to interpret any provision
hereof.

              9.9           Binding
Effect and Benefit.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, heirs, personal
representatives and other legal representatives.  This Agreement may
be assigned by the Company to any entity that buys substantially all of the
Company's assets or to any affiliate of the Company with the consent of the
Executive that shall not be unreasonably withheld.  However, the
Executive may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Company.

      

              9.10           Separability.  The
covenants contained in this Agreement are separable, and if any court of
competent jurisdiction declares any of them to be invalid or unenforceable, that
declaration of invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any of the other covenants, each of which shall remain in full
force and effect.

      

              9.11           Compliance
with Code Section 409A.  It
is the intent of this Agreement to comply with, and/or meet an exemption from,
the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and any rulings and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively,
the “Code”), and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted and this agreement
will be administered to so comply.  References to the date of a
termination of employment in this Agreement in connection with the payment of
severance hereunder shall mean the date of a "separation from service" within
the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i).  If the Executive is a
“specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) at the
time of the Executive’s termination of employment, any nonqualified deferred
compensation subject to Code Section 409A that would otherwise have been payable
under this Agreement as a result of, and within the first six (6) months
following, the Executive’s "separation from service" and not by reason of
another event under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A), will become payable six (6)
months and one (1) day following the date of the Executive’s separation from
service or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death.

      

              9.12           Prior
Agreement:.  This agreement shall, as of the Effective Date,
supersede and replace all prior employment agreements between the Executive and
the Company, provided that any such former agreement shall remain effective as
to periods prior to the Effective Date and Company shall remain liable to
Executive for any salary, incentive compensation or other payments or benefits
earned prior to the Effective Date until paid or provided.

       

       

      IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the parties, intending to be legally bound, have executed this
Agreement as of the last date of signature below.

of "Cause"

      

      "Cause"
shall mean:

      

      
        	
                i)  

              	
                commission
      of an act or an omission that the Board of Directors determines would
      constitute:

              

      

      
        	
                a)  

              	
                a
      felony or

              

      

      
        	
                b)  

              	
                a
      misdemeanor which, in the Board of Director’s reasonable opinion, could
      have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
      condition, prospects or reputation or the Executive's performance of his
      duties, under the laws of the United States or of any
  state

              

      

      
        	
                ii)  

              	
                a
      material breach by the Executive of any agreement entered into between the
      Executive and the Company including without limitation the violation by
      the Executive of the provisions of the Proprietary Information and
      Inventions Agreement or any restrictive covenants in this Agreement
      dealing with the same subject matter or a material violation of the
      Company's Code of Ethics;

              

      

      
        	
                iii)  

              	
                willful
      misconduct by the Executive or gross negligence of the Executive which
      could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the
      Company;

              

      

      
        	
                iv)  

              	
                a
      material failure of the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s
      duties provided that, if susceptible of cure as determined by the Board of
      Directors, notice is provided and Executive does not cure such failure
      within fifteen (15) business days after the date of such notice in a
      manner satisfactory to the Board of Directors;
  or

              

      

      
        	
                v)  

              	
                engagement
      in any activity that constitutes a material conflict of interest with the
      Company and for which no waiver has been obtained from the Board of
      Directors.

              

      

      

      With
respect to any criminal act, the Board of Directors may base such a
determination on facts available to it or on an arrest or charges by an
appropriate government authority (without liability if the Executive is
subsequently acquitted or the prosecution is terminated without conviction) and
may, at its option in lieu of immediate termination, suspend the Executive, with
or without pay in the discretion of the Board of Directors, in lieu of immediate
termination in the event of any criminal charges, pending additional

      Definition
of “Good Reason”

      

      Good
reason hereunder means that the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment
with the Company following the initial existence of one or more of the following
conditions arising without the consent of the Executive:

      

      (i) A
material diminution in the Executive’s base compensation.

      

      (ii) A
material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities
other than as contemplated by Section 1 of this Agreement.

      

      (iii) A
material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the
supervisor to whom the Executive is required to report, including a requirement
that an Executive report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting
directly to the Board of Directors (if the Executive previously reported
directly to the Board of Directors) other than as contemplated by Section 1 of
this Agreement.

      

      (iv) A
material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform
the services.

      

      (v) Any
other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of
the agreement under which the Executive provides services.

      

      Under this
definition of Good Reason, the Executive must provide notice to the Company of
the existence of one or more of the conditions described in (i) through (v)
above within a period not to exceed ninety (90) days of the initial existence of
the condition, upon the notice of which the Company will have a period of at
least thirty (30) days during which it may remedy the condition.  In
the event the Company remedies the condition specified in such a notice, the
condition shall not be grounds for a termination for Good Reason.  A
termination for Good Reason meeting the above requirements will be treated the
same hereunder as a Termination Without Cause.

Sublandlord hereby subleases and demises to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby hires and subleases from Sublandlord the Sublease Premises (which the parties stipulate contain 61,702 rentable square feet), upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.  Sublandlord further confers on Subtenant, and Subtenant accepts from Sublandlord, a non-exclusive right and license (in common with Sublandlord and the other subtenants of Sublandlord, if any) to use the common areas of the Building for ingress and egress, subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, the Lease and this Sublease.

Base Rental and additional rent (as described in Sections 4(c) and (d) below) (including without limitation, late fees) shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as "Rent."

	Prorations.  If the Sublease Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day of a month, or if the Sublease Expiration Date is not the last day of a month, a prorated installment of monthly Base Rental based on a thirty (30) day month shall be paid for the fractional month during which the Term commenced or terminated.

	Expenses and Taxes.  Beginning with the expiration of calendar year 2009 ("Base Year") and thereafter during the Term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay as additional rent in advance on the first day of each month to Sublandlord for this subletting an amount equal to 2.526% ("Subtenant's Taxes Proportionate Share") of the excess of the Taxes (as defined under the Master Lease) over the total amount of Taxes during the Base Year, and 2.646% ("Subtenant's Expenses Proportionate Share") of the excess of the Expenses (as defined under the Master Lease) over the total amount of Expenses during the Base Year.  Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Sublease, Subtenant's Taxes Proportionate Share and Subtenant's Expenses Proportionate Share shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease in the same manner as Sublandlord's payment of Additional Rent to Landlord under the Lease.  In the event that Sublandlord receives a refund or credit from Landlord in connection with Sublandlord's payment of Additional Rent as to which Subtenant paid either Subtenant's Taxes Proportionate Share or Subtenant's Expenses Proportionate Share, Sublandlord shall promptly pay to Subtenant the portion of such payment or credit reasonably allocable to Subtenant net of the portion of Sublandlord's reasonable costs associated with securing such refund that are reasonably allocable (given the portion of the payment or credit due Subtenant) to Subtenant. 

	Other Services.  Beginning with the Sublease Commencement Date and continuing through the Sublease Expiration Date, Subtenant shall be responsible for paying any and all costs, fees, charges and expenses which arise out of or are attributable to Subtenant's use, possession and/or occupancy of the Sublease Premises.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subtenant shall be responsible for paying (i) the cost of all services and utilities used by Subtenant that are separately metered or separately billed (including, without limitation, all gas, electricity, light, heat, power, water, telephone, and other utilities and services), (ii) the costs and expenses of any and all utilities which are provided with respect to the Sublease Premises or are otherwise used by Subtenant, but which are not separately metered or separately billed (which costs and expenses shall be paid by Subtenant based on an equitable apportionment (as reasonably determined by Sublandlord) of such costs and expenses among Subtenant and any other persons or entities which use such utilities or to whom such utilities are provided), and (iii) any and all costs and expenses (excluding, however, those that are included in the Expenses with respect to which Subtenant is required to pay Subtenant's Expenses Proportionate Share as provided hereinabove) connected with or arising out of any and all services, accommodations, facilities and utilities (collectively, the "Services") which are used by Subtenant (including, without limitation, the costs of any supplemental air conditioning units or cooling equipment or any services set forth in Section 7(a)(ii) of the Master Lease), which costs shall (to the extent the same are not separately metered) be paid by Subtenant based on an equitable apportionment of such costs and expenses among Subtenant and any other persons or entities which use the Services, or to whom the Services are provided or required to be provided.  Any and all such costs, fees, charges and expenses due or payable by Subtenant pursuant to this Paragraph shall be paid by Subtenant (x) at least two (2) business days prior to the date that the same become due, in the case of any costs, fees, charges and expenses which are due or payable under, or are required to be paid pursuant to, the Lease or the Master Lease, or (y) prior to the date that the same become due, in the case of costs, fees, charges and expenses other than those described in clause (x) above; provided that such payment by Subtenant shall be due no earlier that fifteen (15) business days after Subtenant receives an invoice therefor.  To the extent that Subtenant is billed directly by a person or entity which provides the Services for which Subtenant is responsible for paying under this Paragraph, Subtenant shall make payments for the Services directly to such person or entity.  To the extent that Subtenant is not billed directly by a person or entity which provides the Services for which Subtenant is responsible for paying under this Paragraph, Subtenant shall make such payments to Sublandlord.  Sublandlord acknowledges that Subtenant shall, at Subtenant's expense and subject to the terms of this Sublease, install separate electric meters for the Sublease Premises.  

	Payment of Rent.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Sublease, Rent shall be payable in lawful money without demand, and without offset, counterclaim, or setoff in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every month during the Term.  All of said Rent is to be paid to Sublandlord at Aon Service Corp (ASC)/LaSalle Partners, PO Box 93861, Chicago, IL  60673-3861, or at such other place or to such agent and at such place as Sublandlord may designate by notice to Subtenant.  Any additional rent payable on account of items which are not payable monthly by Sublandlord to Landlord under the Lease is to be paid to Sublandlord within fifteen (15) business days after invoice for same, unless a different time for payment is elsewhere stated herein.  Sublandlord shall promptly provide Subtenant with copies of any statements or invoices received by Sublandlord from Landlord in connection with the Lease and from Overlandlord in connection with the Master Lease.

	Late Charge.  Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an administrative charge at the then-current "prime lending rate" as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, or any successor, plus two percent (2%) ("Interest Rate") on all amounts of Rent hereunder not paid within five (5) business days after Subtenant's receipt of written notice that the same are overdue, such charge to accrue from the date upon which such amount was due until paid.  

	Abatement under the Lease.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Sublandlord's obligation to pay rent under the Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises is abated due to the occurrence of casualty, condemnation or interruption in services, then Subtenant's obligation to pay Rent under this Sublease shall also be abated.  

	Rent Abatement.  For the period beginning on the Sublease Commencement Date and ending July 31, 2011, Subtenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rental, Subtenant's Taxes Proportionate Share of Taxes and Subtenant's Expenses Proportionate Share of Expenses.  

	Furniture.  Upon the execution of this Sublease, Sublandlord agrees to sell to Subtenant and Subtenant agrees to purchase from Sublandlord that certain personal property, equipment, and business and trade fixtures presently located within the Sublease Premises (the "Furniture") as described on Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated herein in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00).  Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a bill of sale in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto conveying the Furniture to Subtenant concurrently with Sublandlord's execution and delivery of this Sublease.  The Furniture shall be delivered to Subtenant in its "as is, where is, with all faults, if any" condition without any warranties, express or implied regarding their physical condition, capacity, quality, value, workmanship, operating capability or performance, compliance with applicable laws, or their fitness or suitability for Subtenant's purposes (but with a warranty by Sublandlord that as of the date of such delivery, Sublandlord has good title to and the right and authority to so deliver the Furniture).  

	Early Access.  Sublandlord shall deliver exclusive possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant in "broom clean" condition, free of all personal property (other than the Furniture) on February 1, 2009 for purposes of moving into and constructing improvements to the Sublease Premises; provided, however, such early access to the Sublease Premises by Subtenant shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease, except that Subtenant during that time shall have no obligation to make payment of Base Rental, Subtenant's Taxes Proportionate Share of Taxes, Subtenant's Expenses Proportionate Share of Expenses.  Sublandlord shall cooperate with and assist Subtenant in separately demising the currently existing ADT security system serving the Master Premises for use in the Sublease Premises.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublandlord represents to Subtenant that, to the best of Sublandlord's knowledge, the plumbing, fire suppression, lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system and electrical systems in and serving the Sublease Premises are in good operating condition on the date of this Sublease and shall be in good operating condition on the date possession of the Sublease Premises is delivered to Subtenant.  If Sublandlord fails to deliver exclusive possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant in the condition required above by February 1, 2009, then the Sublease Commencement Date shall be delayed one day for each day after February 1, 2009 that Sublandlord delays in delivering such exclusive possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant.  

	Incorporation of Terms of Lease.

	This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Lease.  Subject to the modifications set forth in this Sublease, the terms of the Lease are incorporated herein by reference, and shall, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant (as if they were Landlord and Tenant, respectively, under the Lease) constitute the terms of this Sublease except to the extent that they are inapplicable to, inconsistent with, or modified by, the terms of this Sublease.  In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and provisions of the Lease and the terms and provisions of this Sublease, the terms and provisions of this Sublease shall govern.  Subtenant acknowledges that it has reviewed the Lease and is familiar with the terms and conditions thereof.

	For the purposes of incorporation herein, the terms of the Lease are subject to the following additional modifications: 

	In all provisions of the Lease (under the terms thereof and without regard to modifications thereof for purposes of incorporation into this Sublease) requiring the approval or consent of Landlord, Subtenant shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of both Sublandlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Landlord.  Sublandlord agrees to assist (at no cost to Sublandlord) in Subtenant's efforts to obtain such approvals and consents of Landlord. 

	In all provisions of the Lease requiring Sublandlord to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide Landlord with evidence, certificates, or any other matter or thing, Subtenant shall be required to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide, as the case may be, the same to both Landlord and Sublandlord.  In any such instance, Sublandlord, acting reasonably and in good faith, shall determine if such evidence, certificate or other matter or thing shall be satisfactory.

	Sublandlord shall not be responsible for satisfying Landlord's obligation to provide insurance under Section 12 of the Lease and Sublandlord shall have no obligation to restore or rebuild any portion of the Sublease Premises after any destruction or taking by eminent domain.  

	Sublandlord shall have no responsibility for any of Landlord's obligations to maintain structural components of the Building or operating systems or common areas of the Building.  

	Except as may otherwise be provided herein, Sublandlord shall not be deemed or construed in any way to indemnify Subtenant for any breach of the Lease or other actions or omissions of Landlord.  

	Subtenant shall not have any right to audit any financial statement of Landlord or Sublandlord.

	Subtenant shall not have any right to display any signage inside (except for within the Sublease Premises) or on the exterior of the Building;

	Subtenant shall not have any right to the use of any parking spaces, provided that Subtenant can make any direct arrangements regarding parking with Overlandlord and Landlord.

	Subtenant and Sublandlord Obligations.

	Subtenant covenants and agrees that all obligations of Sublandlord under the Lease and arising during the Term shall be done or performed by Subtenant with respect to the Sublease Premises, except as otherwise provided by this Sublease, and Subtenant's obligations shall run to Sublandlord and Landlord as Sublandlord may determine to be appropriate or be required by the respective interests of Sublandlord and Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Subtenant shall have no obligation to cure any failure of Sublandlord to perform any of its obligations under the Lease which obligations were due to be performed prior to the Sublease Commencement Date.  Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord, and hold it harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees) incurred by reason of any breach or default of the Lease or this Sublease on the part of Subtenant, and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees) in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from damages or injuries to persons or property in or about the Sublease Premises during the Term, except to the extent such damage or injuries were caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or its agents, employees or contractors.  If Subtenant makes any payment to Sublandlord pursuant to this indemnity, Subtenant shall be subrogated to the rights of Sublandlord concerning said payment.  Subtenant shall not do, nor permit to be done, any act or thing which is, or with notice or the passage of time would be, a default under this Sublease, the Lease or the Master Lease.

	Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant shall be entitled to receive all services and repairs to be provided to Sublandlord under the Lease.  Subtenant shall look solely to Overlandlord for all such services, and shall not, under any circumstances, seek nor require Sublandlord to perform any of such services, nor shall Subtenant make any claim upon Sublandlord for any damages which may arise by reason of Overlandlord's default under the Master Lease or Landlord's default under the Lease.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall use diligent, good faith efforts to cause Landlord to cause Overlandlord to perform the services and repairs required of Overlandlord under the Master Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises for the benefit of Subtenant.  Such diligent, good faith efforts shall include, without limitation: (a) upon Subtenant's written request, immediately notify Landlord of the nonperformance and request that Landlord request that Overlandlord perform its obligations under the Master Lease and (b) permitting Subtenant to commence a legal action upon Sublandlord's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) in Sublandlord's name to obtain the performance required; provided, however, that Subtenant shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith and Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection therewith.  Any condition resulting from a default by Overlandlord or Landlord shall not constitute as between Sublandlord and Subtenant an eviction, actual or constructive, of Subtenant and no such default shall excuse Subtenant from the performance or observance of any of its obligations to be performed or observed under this Sublease, or entitle Subtenant to receive any reduction in or abatement of the rent provided for in this Sublease.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Subtenant does hereby waive any cause of action and any right to bring any action against Sublandlord by reason of any act or omission of Landlord under the Lease.  Sublandlord shall indemnify Subtenant, and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees) incurred by reason of any breach or default of the Lease or this Sublease on the part of Sublandlord, and all claims, damages (other than consequential and punitive damages), losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees) in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from damages or injuries to persons or property or in about the Sublease Premises during the Term and caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or its agents, employees or contractors.  Sublandlord shall not do, nor permit to be done, any act or thing which is, or with notice or the passage of time would be, a default under this Sublease, the Lease or the Master Lease.  So long as this Sublease is in full force and effect, Sublandlord covenants and agrees that Sublandlord will not, without the prior written consent of Subtenant (which consent Subtenant may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion) either (a) enter into any amendment, modification or other agreement to the Lease which adversely affects any material rights or obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease or (b) exercise any termination or cancellation rights under the Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises.  The immediately preceding sentence shall not affect Sublandlord's right, without obtaining Subtenant's consent, to agree to any modification to or amendment of the Lease in a manner which does not adversely affect any material rights or obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease or to exercise any termination or cancellation rights under the Lease which do not affect the Sublease Premises.  Sublandlord covenants and agrees with Subtenant that, so long as this Sublease is in full force and effect, Sublandlord shall make all payments of rent to Landlord due under the Lease and to comply with all other provisions of the Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises (except to the extent Subtenant assumes the obligations hereunder).  Whenever notice is given or received pursuant to the Lease by Landlord or Sublandlord which has relevance to the Sublease Premises, Sublandlord agrees to promptly provide a copy of such notice to Subtenant.

	Default by Subtenant. 

	The following shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:

	Subtenant fails to pay any installment of Base Rental or Subtenant's Taxes Proportionate Share of Taxes or Subtenant's Expenses Proportionate Share of Expenses within five (5) business days after receipt of notice from Sublandlord that the same is overdue or fails to pay any other amount due from Subtenant hereunder within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice from Sublandlord that the same is overdue; or

	Subtenant fails to perform or observe any other material covenant or agreement set forth in this Sublease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Sublandlord to Subtenant, provided that if such failure to perform or observe cannot be reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, then, so long as Subtenant commences to so perform or observe within such thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as may be reasonably necessary.

	Upon an Event of Default, Sublandlord may exercise, without limitation of any other rights and remedies available to it hereunder or at law or in equity, any and all rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in the Lease in the event of a default by Sublandlord thereunder.

	In the event Subtenant fails or refuses to make any payment or perform any material covenant or agreement to be performed hereunder by Subtenant, and does not cure same within any applicable notice and cure period provided above, Sublandlord may make such payment or undertake to perform such covenant or agreement (but shall not have any obligation to Subtenant to do so).  In such event, reasonable amounts so paid and amounts expended in undertaking such performance, together with all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by Sublandlord in connection therewith and interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be additional rent hereunder.  Anything contained in any provision of this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant agrees, with respect to the Sublease Premises, to comply with and remedy any default in this Sublease or the Lease which is Subtenant's obligation to cure, within the period allowed to Sublandlord under the Lease, even if such time period is shorter than the period otherwise allowed therein due to the fact that notice of default from Sublandlord to Subtenant is given after the corresponding notice of default from Landlord to Sublandlord, provided that the foregoing time period shall not commence until Subtenant has actually received a copy of any such notice or demand for performance.

	Notices.  Sublandlord agrees to forward to Subtenant, promptly upon receipt thereof by Sublandlord, a copy of each notice of default received by Sublandlord in its capacity as tenant under the Lease and each notice Sublandlord receives relating to the Sublease Premises or to Subtenant.  Subtenant agrees to forward to Sublandlord, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of any notices received by Subtenant from Landlord concerning a default under the Lease.  All notices, demands and requests shall be in writing and shall be sent either by hand delivery or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service (e.g., Federal Express), in either case return receipt requested, to the address of the appropriate party.  Notices, demands and requests so sent shall be deemed given when the same are received.

	Broker.  Sublandlord and Subtenant represent and warrant to each other that, with the exception of Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. and Studley, Inc. ("Brokers"), no brokers were involved in connection with the negotiation or consummation of this Sublease.  Sublandlord agrees to pay the commission of the Brokers pursuant to a separate agreement.  Each party agrees to indemnify the other, and hold it harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by said party as a result of a breach of this representation and warranty by the other party.

	Condition of Premises.  Subtenant acknowledges that it is subleasing the Sublease Premises "as-is" and that, except as expressly set forth herein, Sublandlord is not making any representation or warranty concerning the condition of the Sublease Premises and that Sublandlord is not obligated to perform any work to prepare the Sublease Premises for Subtenant's occupancy, except as expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the effect of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything else contained in this Sublease to the contrary, Sublandlord shall not be deemed or construed to have made the representations and warranties, if any, of Landlord under the Lease with respect to the condition of the Sublease Premises.  Subtenant acknowledges that it is not authorized to make or do any alterations or improvements in or to the Sublease Premises except as permitted by the provisions of this Sublease and the Lease or as are otherwise consented to by Sublandlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Landlord.

	Consent to Sublease; Non-Disturbance Agreement; New Lease.  Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge that Section 14 of the Lease requires Sublandlord to obtain the written consent of Landlord to this Sublease, and Section 13 of the Master Lease requires Landlord to obtain the written consent of Overlandlord to this Sublease.  Sublandlord shall solicit Landlord's and Overlandlord's consent to this Sublease prior to the execution and delivery of this Sublease by Sublandlord and Subtenant.  Sublandlord further acknowledges that Subtenant will not be bound by this Sublease unless (a) Landlord enters into an agreement with Sublandlord and Subtenant, in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, pursuant to which Landlord consents to this Sublease (the "Consent Agreement") and (b) Overlandlord and Subtenant enter into a lease for the Sublease Premises for a term commencing after the expiration of this Sublease (the "New Lease").  In the event that, as of January 14, 2009, either (i) Landlord's and Overlandlord's written consent to this Sublease has not been obtained or (ii) Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant have not entered into the Consent Agreement, or (iii) Overlandlord and Subtenant have not entered into the New Lease, then this Sublease may be terminated by either party hereto upon notice to the other delivered prior to the obtaining of Overlandlord's and Landlord's consent, Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant entering into the Consent Agreement, and Overlandlord and Subtenant entering into the New Lease, and upon such termination neither party hereto shall have any further rights against or obligations to the other party hereto.  

	Termination of the Lease.  If for any reason the term of the Lease shall terminate prior to the Sublease Expiration Date, this Sublease shall automatically be terminated and (a) Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason thereof unless said termination shall have been effectuated by or with the cooperation of Sublandlord in violation of the terms of this Sublease or shall have been caused by the default of Sublandlord under the Lease, and said Sublandlord default was not as a result of a Subtenant default hereunder, and (b) Subtenant shall not be liable to Sublandlord by reason thereof unless said termination shall have been caused by the default of Subtenant under this Sublease.

	Assignment and Subletting.

	Independent of and in addition to any provisions of the Lease, including without limitation the obligation to obtain Landlord's consent to any assignment or sublease, it is understood and agreed that Subtenant shall have the right to assign this Sublease or any interest therein, to sublet the Sublease Premises or any portion thereof or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, and to suffer or permit any other person (other than agents, servants or associates of the Subtenant) to occupy or use the Sublease Premises, only upon the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and of Landlord.  Any assignment or sublease by Subtenant without Sublandlord's prior written consent shall be void.

	Subtenant shall advise Sublandlord by notice of (i) Subtenant's intent to assign this Sublease or sublet the Sublease Premises, (ii) the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord that such proposed assignee or sublessee is comparable in reputation, stature and financial condition to tenants then leasing comparable space in comparable buildings, and (iii) the terms of the proposed assignment or sublease.  Sublandlord shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice, and any additional information requested by Landlord concerning the proposed assignee's or sublessee's financial responsibility, elect one of the following:

	Consent to such proposed assignment or sublease; or 

	Refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds.

	In the event that Sublandlord shall consent to an assignment or sublease under the provisions of this Section 16, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord's reasonable processing costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in giving such consent.  Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or sublease, Subtenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for all payments owed by Subtenant under the Sublease and for compliance with all obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of the Sublease.  

	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Subtenant shall have the right to assign this Sublease or to sublease all or any portion of the Sublease Premises without the consent of Sublandlord (but only after having obtained the consent of Landlord, if such consent is required under the terms of the Lease) to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Subtenant and to any entity acquiring all or substantially all of Subtenant's assets or any entity in which or with which Subtenant is merged or consolidated ("Permitted Transfers").  

	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and in addition to Subtenant's right to assign this Sublease and sublet the Sublease Premises pursuant to Permitted Transfers as provided above, Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant may permit portions of the Sublease Premises to be used by any persons or entities with whom Subtenant regularly conducts business, including without limitation, business consultants and regulators ("Approved Users") without separate prior written consent of Sublandlord, provided that (i) Subtenant does not separately demise the space used by the Approved Users, (ii) the Approved Users and Subtenant shall use common entryways to the Sublease Premises as well as certain shared central services, such as reception, photocopying and the like; and (iii) the Approved Users operate their business in the Sublease Premises for the use permitted under this Sublease and for no other purpose.  If any Approved Users occupy any portion of the Sublease Premises as described herein, it is agreed that (1) the Approved Users must comply with all provisions of this Sublease; (2) all notices required of Sublandlord under this Sublease shall be sent only to Subtenant in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, and in no event shall Sublandlord be required to send any notices to any Approved Users; (3) in no event shall any such occupancy or use by the Approved Users release or relieve Subtenant from any of its obligations under this Sublease; and (4) the Approved Users and their employees, contractors and invitees visiting or occupying space in the Sublease Premises shall be deemed employees of Subtenant for purposes of Subtenant's indemnification obligations of this Sublease.  The occupancy of any portion of the Sublease Premises by the Approved Users shall not be deemed to create a landlord and tenant relationship between Sublandlord and the Approved Users, and, in all instances, Subtenant shall be considered the sole tenant under this Sublease.

	Limitation of Estate.  Subtenant's estate shall in all respects be limited to, and be construed in a fashion consistent with, the estate granted to Sublandlord by Landlord.  Subtenant shall stand in the place of Sublandlord and shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless with respect to all covenants, warranties, obligations, and payments made by Sublandlord under or required of Sublandlord by the Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises.  In the event Sublandlord is prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Sublease by a breach by Landlord of a term of the Lease, then Sublandlord's sole obligation in regard to its obligation under this Sublease shall be to use reasonable efforts in diligently pursuing the correction or cure by Landlord of Landlord's breach.

	Entire Agreement.  It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Sublease and this Sublease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Sublandlord to Subtenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Sublease.  This Sublease, and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto, contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Sublease Premises and shall be considered to be the only agreements between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents.  None of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sublease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto.  All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein.  There are no other representations or warranties between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Sublease.

	Waiver of Subrogation.  To the extent permitted by law, and without affecting the coverage provided by insurance to be maintained hereunder, Sublandlord and Subtenant each waive any right to recover against the other for (i) damages for injury to or death of persons; (ii) damages to property; (iii) damages to the Premises or any part thereof; and (iv) claims arising by reason of the foregoing due to hazards covered by insurance, to the extent of proceeds recovered therefrom.  This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of each party, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in favor of any insurance carrier.  The coverage obtained by each party pursuant to this Sublease shall include, without limitation, a waiver or subrogation by the carrier which conforms to the provisions of this paragraph.  

	Quiet Enjoyment.  Subtenant shall peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Sublease Premises subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease, provided that there is not an event of default by Subtenant.  Sublandlord shall fully perform all of its obligations under the Lease to the extent Subtenant has not expressly agreed to perform such obligations under this Sublease.  In the event, however, that Sublandlord defaults in the performance or observance of any of Sublandlord's remaining obligations under the Lease or fails to perform Sublandlord's stated obligations under this Sublease or to enforce, for Subtenant's benefit, Landlord's obligations under the Lease, then Subtenant shall be entitled, following the expiration of any applicable cure period, to cure such default and promptly collect from Sublandlord, Subtenant's reasonable expenses in so doing (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs), or, at Subtenant's option, to offset such reasonable expenses against future payments of rent due under this Sublease.  

	Sublandlord's Warranties and Representations.  Sublandlord warrants and represents to Subtenant that the Lease attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true, correct and complete copy of the Lease, that there are no defaults thereunder by Sublandlord or Landlord or facts which, with the giving of notice, or passage of time or both could ripen into a default thereunder, there have been no further amendments to the Lease except as referenced herein and attached hereto, and that there are no other agreements or understandings between Sublandlord and Landlord with respect to the Sublease Premises.

	Estoppel Certificates.  

	Sublandlord shall, within fifteen (15) business days following written request therefor by Subtenant, execute and deliver to Subtenant a certificate stating that (i) the Sublease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification; (ii) the date to which Base Rental is paid in advance, if any, and (iii) acknowledging that it is not in default and that there are not, to the best of its knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the other party, or if there are uncured defaults, stating the nature of such uncured defaults.  Such certificate may be relied upon by Subtenant, its lenders, successors, assigns and subtenants. 

	Subtenant shall, within fifteen (15) business days following written request therefor by Sublandlord, execute and deliver to Sublandlord a certificate stating that (i) the Sublease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification; (ii) the date to which Base Rental is paid in advance, if any, and (iii) acknowledging that it is not in default and that there are not, to the best of its knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the other party, or if there are uncured defaults, stating the nature of such uncured defaults.  Such certificate may be relied upon by Sublandlord, its lenders, successors, assigns and subtenants.

	Subtenant's Liability.  In no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Subtenant's members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents or employees in connection with this Sublease nor shall any recourse be had to any property or assets of Subtenant's members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents or employees.  In no event shall Subtenant be liable for consequential or punitive damages as a result of a breach or default under or otherwise in connection with this Sublease.
