Bonus. During the Executive's employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall be eligible to

Executive pursuant to this Section 4. 

        (e)  Compensation
During Incapacity. During the Executive's employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, for any period that the
Executive fails to perform the Executive's full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Company shall pay the Executive's Base Salary
to the Executive at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan,
program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such period, until the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Disability. 

        5.
Termination. 

        (a)  The
Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company (i) at any time for Cause or without Cause; or (ii) if, as a result of the
Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive shall have been absent from the full-time performance of the Executive's duties with the Company for three
(3) consecutive months (a "Disability"). The Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated immediately upon the death of the Executive. The Executive's employment with the Company
may be terminated at any time by the Executive for Constructive Termination or without Constructive Termination.

        (c)  As
used herein: 

        (i)    A
"Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice that specifies the Date of Termination and that, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated and
that, in the case of a termination by the Company, shall indicate whether such termination is for Cause or without Cause. 

        (ii)  The
"Date of Termination" with respect to any purported termination of the Executive's employment shall mean (A) if the Executive's employment is terminated for
Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive's duties during
such thirty (30) day period), (B) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death, then the date thereof, (C) if the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant

2

 

hereof, the date on which the Executive's employment expires pursuant to such section, and (D) if the Executive's employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the
Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is
given). 

        6.
Severance Payments. 

        (a)  The
Company shall pay the Executive the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 6(a) upon any termination of the Executive's employment, including,
without limitation, the nonextension of the Executive's employment by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, unless such termination is by the Company for Cause, by the Executive without
Constructive Termination or the nonextension of the Executive's employment by the Executive pursuant to Section 2 hereof: 

        (i)    The
Company shall pay as severance pay to the Executive (x) for a twelve (12) month period after the Date of Termination the Executive's Base Salary at the
highest rate in effect prior to the Date of Termination in equal installments as nearly as practicable on the normal payroll periods for employees of the Company generally, and (y) any
performance-based bonus which has been earned by the Executive for a fiscal year preceding the Date of Termination and a pro-rata portion, to the Date of Termination, of any
performance-based bonus that the Executive would have earned for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, in each case, in accordance with the performance-based bonus plan in effect
for such fiscal year and as approved by the Board consistent with the Company's performance during such period, such amounts to be paid when bonuses are generally paid to other senior executive
officers of the Company; provided, however, that in the event the Company terminates the Executive's employment without Cause or elects not to extend the Executive's employment pursuant to
Section 2 hereof or the Executive resigns after a Constructive Termination during the time period commencing with a written agreement for a Change of Control (which transaction is ultimately
consummated) and ending one (1) year thereafter, the Company shall pay the severance payment described in clause (x) above in a lump sum within five (5) days of the Date of
Termination unless the Executive provides the Company prior written notice declining such lump sum payment in favor of payment in equal installments as nearly as practicable on the normal payroll
periods for employees of the Company generally. 

        (ii)  For
a twelve (12) month period after the Date of Termination, the Company shall administer and pay for the Executive's life, disability, accident and health
insurance benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive is receiving immediately prior to the Notice of Termination. 

        (b)  Notwithstanding
any contrary provision in any agreement relating to the grant by the Company or any of its affiliates of any option to acquire shares of the Company's or
any affiliate's capital stock pursuant to such entity's stock option plans ("Stock Options") or the issuance of capital stock or other equity interests of any such entity pursuant to a restricted
stock agreement or similar arrangement ("Restricted Stock"), if during the period commencing with a written agreement for a Change of Control (which transaction is ultimately consummated) and ending
two (2) years thereafter the Company terminates the Executive's employment without Cause or elects not to extend the Executive's employment pursuant to Section 2 hereof or the Executive
resigns after a Constructive Termination, all Stock Options and all shares of Restricted Stock which have not yet become vested shall become vested in full on the Date of Termination. 

        (c)  The
payments provided in Section 6(a) shall be in addition to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 7 hereof.

        7.
Compensation Other than Severance Payments. If the Executive's employment shall be terminated by him or the Company for any reason, the Company shall pay
the Executive's normal post-termination compensation and benefits under, and in accordance with, the Company's retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans or programs
during such period. 

        8.
Certain Definitions. 

        (a)  Cause.
"Cause" shall mean the following: 

        (i)    A
good faith finding by the Board or the CEO that the Executive (w) has been convicted of a felony, (x) has been convicted of a misdemeanor (excluding
traffic violations) to the extent such conviction could reasonably be considered to compromise the best interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or render the Executive unfit or unable to
perform its services and duties hereunder, (y) has committed any other act or omission involving dishonesty, disloyalty or fraud with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their customers or suppliers, or (z) has committed an act involving unlawful or disreputable conduct in the context of Executive's employment which is likely to be harmful to the Company or its
reputation; 

        (ii)  The
continued failure by the Executive to perform its duties in all material respects for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries continuing for a period of
45 days following a demand for such performance by the Board or the CEO or a material breach by the Executive of its obligations under this Agreement continuing uncured (if curable) for a
period of 45 days following notice from the Board or the CEO (other than any such failure or breach resulting from the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness), which demand
shall identify in reasonable detail the manner that that Executive has not performed its duties or has breached its obligations (as applicable) and give the Executive an opportunity to respond. The
foregoing shall not be construed to include the Executive's failure to achieve financial or operating objectives and goals established by the Board or the CEO; or 

        (iii)  A
good faith finding by the Board or the CEO that the Executive engaged in (x) misconduct materially injurious to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
their reputation or (y) gross negligence or willful misconduct which has a material adverse effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

        (b)  Change
of Control. A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to occur if (i) there shall be consummated (x) any consolidation or
merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company's Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other
property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company's Common Stock immediately prior to the merger hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving
corporation immediately after the merger, or (y) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets
of the Company, or (ii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve any plan or proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) any person (as such term is used in
Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) who, on the date of this Agreement, does not own five percent (5%) or more of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (a "5% Owner") and is not controlling, controlled by or under common control with any such 5% Owner, shall become the beneficial owner (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock other than pursuant to a plan or arrangement entered into by
such person and the Company, or (iv) within any twenty-four (24) month period, the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of
directors then serving on the Board: individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption 

4

 

of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment
or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office
who either were directors on the date hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended. 

        (c)  Common
Stock. "Common Stock" shall mean the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share. 

        (d)  Constructive
Termination. "Constructive Termination" shall mean the occurrence, without the Executive's written consent, of any of the
following circumstances unless such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of Termination given in respect thereof: 

        (i)    The
assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with the Executive's position, authority, duties or responsibilities (including status, offices,
effective titles and reporting structures) in effect immediately prior to such assignment, or any other action by the Company which results in the material diminishment of such position, authority,
duties or status as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the Executive's responsibilities; 

        (ii)  The
relocation of the Executive's principal place of employment to a location outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area or the Company's requiring the Executive
to be based anywhere other than such principal place of employment (or permitted relocation thereof) except for required travel on the Company's business to an extent substantially consistent with the
Executive's present business travel obligations; 

        (iii)  The
failure by the Company to pay to the Executive any portion of the Executive's then Base Salary or allocated bonus, incentive or other form of compensation or to
pay to the Executive any portion of an installment of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Company, within seven (7) days of the date such compensation is due; 

        (iv)  A
reduction in the Base Salary; or 

        (v)  A
material breach of this Agreement by the Company. 

The
Executive's right to terminate the Executive's employment as a result of Constructive Termination shall not be affected by the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness. The
Executive's right to terminate the Executive's employment as a result of a Constructive Termination must be exercised within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Executive becomes aware
of the occurrence of any circumstance constituting Constructive Termination hereunder. 

        (e)  Subsidiary.
"Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation of which the Company or the LLC owns securities having a majority of the ordinary voting
power in electing the board of directors directly or through one or more subsidiaries. 

        9.
D&O Insurance; Indemnification. 

        (a)  To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify the Executive against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative that the Executive is made a party to by reason of the fact that he is or was 

5

 

performing services as an officer or director of the Company. Such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be an employee, officer, or director of the Company and
shall inure to the benefit of his heirs and estate. 

        (b)  Any
costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Executive relating to indemnification under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, shall be paid by the
Company in advance as soon as practicable but not later than three business days after receipt of written request of the Executive; provided that the Executive shall undertake to repay such amount to
the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Executive is not entitled to indemnification. Subject to applicable law, the Executive's right to
indemnification or advances from the Company shall be enforceable by the Executive in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification or advances are not appropriate
shall be on the Company. 

        (c)  The
provisions of this Section 9 are in addition to, and not in derogation of, the indemnification provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and the Indemnification Agreement between the Company and the Executive (the "Indemnification Agreement"). 

        10.
No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive's employment is terminated hereunder, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or
to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company. Furthermore, the amount of any payment provided hereunder shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive. 

        11.
Confidential Information. The Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data obtained by him while employed by the Company or any
Subsidiary (including those obtained prior to the date of this Agreement concerning the business or affairs of the LLC, the Company, or any of their Subsidiaries (collectively, "Confidential
Information")) are the property of the LLC, the Company and such Subsidiaries. Therefore, the Executive agrees that he shall not (during his employment with the Company or at any time thereafter)
disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own purposes any Confidential Information without the express prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned
matters: (a) become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of the Executive's acts or omissions or (b) are required to be disclosed by judicial
process or law. The Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of his employment, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records,
reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information, Work Product (as defined below) or the business of the LLC,
the Company or any Subsidiary which he may then possess or have under his control. 

        12.
Inventions and Patents. The Executive hereby assigns to the Company all right,-title and interest to all patents and patent applications, all inventions,
innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (in each case whether or not patentable), all copyrights and copyrightable
works, all trade secrets, confidential information and know-how, and all other intellectual property rights that are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made by the Executive
while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries and that (i) relate to the Company's or any Subsidiary's actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future
products or services; or (ii) are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made using any material equipment, supplies, facilities, assets or resources of the Company or any Subsidiary
(including but not limited to any intellectual property rights) ("Work Product"). The Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by
the Board (whether during his employment with the Company or at 

6

 

any time thereafter) to establish and confirm the Company's ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, applications and other instruments). 

        13.
Noncompetition. In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to the Executive hereunder, the Executive acknowledges that in the course of his
employment with the Company he has become and shall become familiar with the Company's trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and that his
services have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its Subsidiaries. Therefore, the Executive agrees that, during the Executive's employment with the Company
and for six (6) months thereafter (collectively the "Noncompete Period"), he shall not, without prior express written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or
otherwise) own or hold any interest in, manage, operate, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner participate in any business engaged in any of the businesses or
services provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the employment with the Company or the Noncompete Period (a "Competing Company") or otherwise competing with the businesses of the Company
or its Subsidiaries, either as a general or limited partner, proprietor, common or preferred shareholder, officer, director, agent, employee, consultant, trustee, affiliate or otherwise. The Executive
acknowledges that the Company's and its affiliates' businesses are conducted nationally and internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section 13 shall operate throughout the United
States and the world. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of any publicly traded company that
constitutes a Competing Company, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such company. 

        14.
Non-Solicitation. During the Executive's employment with the Company and for twelve (12) months thereafter (collectively the
"Nonsolicit Period"), the Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary to leave the employ of
the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the
Company or any Subsidiary at any time during the twenty-four (24) months preceding the Date of
Termination of the Executive, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, developer, client, member, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation of the Company or
any Subsidiary to cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, developer, client, member, supplier, licensee or
business relation and the Company or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative statements or communications about the Company or any Subsidiary). 

        15.
Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of any of Sections 11 through 14 a court
shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under
such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and
area permitted by law. Because the Executive's services are unique and because he has access to Confidential Information and Work Product, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that money damages
would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition
to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by the Executive of any of
Sections 11 through 14, the Noncompete Period and the Nonsolicit Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly
cured. The Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in Sections 11 through 14 are reasonable. 

7

 

        16.
Successors; Binding Agreement. 

        (a)  Successors.
The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 16 or which otherwise becomes bound by
all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. 

        (b)  Binding
Agreement. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable
to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive's devisee, legatee, or
other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive's estate. 

        17.
Representations. The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that: (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by the Executive and the execution of the Company's business plan by the Executive do not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any agreement, contract or instrument to
which the Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Executive is subject, (b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Executive,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, (c) the Executive has not and will not take any action that will conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any noncompete, nonsolicitation or

and represents that he has carefully reviewed this Agreement, that he has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, after carefully

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises and the respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, the parties intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:

Bonus. During the Executive's employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall be eligible to

Executive pursuant to this Section 4. 

        (e)  Compensation
During Incapacity. During the Executive's employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, for any period that the
Executive fails to perform the Executive's full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Company shall pay the Executive's Base Salary
to the Executive at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan,
program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such period, until the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Disability. 

        5.
Termination. 

        (a)  The
Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated by the Company (i) at any time for Cause or without Cause; or (ii) if, as a result of the
Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive shall have been absent from the full-time performance of the Executive's duties with the Company for three
(3) consecutive months (a "Disability"). The Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated immediately upon the death of the Executive. The Executive's employment with the Company
may be terminated at any time by the Executive for Constructive Termination or without Constructive Termination. 

        (b)  Any

        (c)  As
used herein: 

        (i)    A
"Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice that specifies the Date of Termination and that, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated and
that, in the case of a termination by the Company, shall indicate whether such termination is for Cause or without Cause. 

        (ii)  The
"Date of Termination" with respect to any purported termination of the Executive's employment shall mean (A) if the Executive's employment is terminated for
Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive's duties during
such thirty (30) day period), (B) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death, then the date thereof, (C) if the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant

2

 

hereof, the date on which the Executive's employment expires pursuant to such section, and (D) if the Executive's employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the
Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is
given). 

        6.
Severance Payments. 

        (a)  The
Company shall pay the Executive the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 6(a) upon any termination of the Executive's employment, including,
without limitation, the nonextension of the Executive's employment by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, unless such termination is by the Company for Cause, by the Executive without
Constructive Termination or the nonextension of the Executive's employment by the Executive pursuant to Section 2 hereof: 

        (i)    The
Company shall pay as severance pay to the Executive (x) for a twelve (12) month period after the Date of Termination the Executive's Base Salary at the
highest rate in effect prior to the Date of Termination in equal installments as nearly as practicable on the normal payroll periods for employees of the Company generally, and (y) any
performance-based bonus which has been earned by the Executive for a fiscal year preceding the Date of Termination and a pro-rata portion, to the Date of Termination, of any
performance-based bonus that the Executive would have earned for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, in each case, in accordance with the performance-based bonus plan in effect
for such fiscal year and as approved by the Board consistent with the Company's performance during such period, such amounts to be paid when bonuses are generally paid to other senior executive
officers of the Company; provided, however, that in the event the Company terminates the Executive's employment without Cause or elects not to extend the Executive's employment pursuant to
Section 2 hereof or the Executive resigns after a Constructive Termination during the time period commencing with a written agreement for a Change of Control (which transaction is ultimately
consummated) and ending one (1) year thereafter, the Company shall pay the severance payment described in clause (x) above in a lump sum within five (5) days of the Date of
Termination unless the Executive provides the Company prior written notice declining such lump sum payment in favor of payment in equal installments as nearly as practicable on the normal payroll
periods for employees of the Company generally. 

        (ii)  For
a twelve (12) month period after the Date of Termination, the Company shall administer and pay for the Executive's life, disability, accident and health
insurance benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive is receiving immediately prior to the Notice of Termination. 

        (b)  Notwithstanding
any contrary provision in any agreement relating to the grant by the Company or any of its affiliates of any option to acquire shares of the Company's or
any affiliate's capital stock pursuant to such entity's stock option plans ("Stock Options") or the issuance of capital stock or other equity interests of any such entity pursuant to a restricted
stock agreement or similar arrangement ("Restricted Stock"), if during the period commencing with a written agreement for a Change of Control (which transaction is ultimately consummated) and ending
two (2) years thereafter the Company terminates the Executive's employment without Cause or elects not to extend the Executive's employment pursuant to Section 2 hereof or the Executive
resigns after a Constructive Termination, all Stock Options and all shares of Restricted Stock which have not yet become vested shall become vested in full on the Date of Termination. 

        (c)  The
payments provided in Section 6(a) shall be in addition to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 7 hereof.

        7.
Compensation Other than Severance Payments. If the Executive's employment shall be terminated by him or the Company for any reason, the Company shall pay
the Executive's normal post-termination compensation and benefits under, and in accordance with, the Company's retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans or programs
during such period. 

        8.
Certain Definitions. 

        (a)  Cause.
"Cause" shall mean the following: 

        (i)    A
good faith finding by the Board or the CEO that the Executive (w) has been convicted of a felony, (x) has been convicted of a misdemeanor (excluding
traffic violations) to the extent such conviction could reasonably be considered to compromise the best interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or render the Executive unfit or unable to
perform its services and duties hereunder, (y) has committed any other act or omission involving dishonesty, disloyalty or fraud with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their customers or suppliers, or (z) has committed an act involving unlawful or disreputable conduct in the context of Executive's employment which is likely to be harmful to the Company or its
reputation; 

        (ii)  The
continued failure by the Executive to perform its duties in all material respects for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries continuing for a period of
45 days following a demand for such performance by the Board or the CEO or a material breach by the Executive of its obligations under this Agreement continuing uncured (if curable) for a
period of 45 days following notice from the Board or the CEO (other than any such failure or breach resulting from the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness), which demand
shall identify in reasonable detail the manner that that Executive has not performed its duties or has breached its obligations (as applicable) and give the Executive an opportunity to respond. The
foregoing shall not be construed to include the Executive's failure to achieve financial or operating objectives and goals established by the Board or the CEO; or 

        (iii)  A
good faith finding by the Board or the CEO that the Executive engaged in (x) misconduct materially injurious to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
their reputation or (y) gross negligence or willful misconduct which has a material adverse effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

        (b)  Change
of Control. A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to occur if (i) there shall be consummated (x) any consolidation or
merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company's Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other
property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company's Common Stock immediately prior to the merger hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving
corporation immediately after the merger, or (y) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets
of the Company, or (ii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve any plan or proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) any person (as such term is used in
Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) who, on the date of this Agreement, does not own five percent (5%) or more of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (a "5% Owner") and is not controlling, controlled by or under common control with any such 5% Owner, shall become the beneficial owner (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock other than pursuant to a plan or arrangement entered into by
such person and the Company, or (iv) within any twenty-four (24) month period, the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of
directors then serving on the Board: individuals who, on the date hereof, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption 

4

 

of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment
or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office
who either were directors on the date hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended. 

        (c)  Common
Stock. "Common Stock" shall mean the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share. 

        (d)  Constructive
Termination. "Constructive Termination" shall mean the occurrence, without the Executive's written consent, of any of the
following circumstances unless such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of Termination given in respect thereof: 

        (i)    The
assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with the Executive's position, authority, duties or responsibilities (including status, offices,
effective titles and reporting structures) in effect immediately prior to such assignment, or any other action by the Company which results in the material diminishment of such position, authority,
duties or status as Vice Chairman of the Company or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the Executive's responsibilities; 

        (ii)  The
relocation of the Executive's principal place of employment to a location outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area or the Company's requiring the Executive
to be based anywhere other than such principal place of employment (or permitted relocation thereof) except for required travel on the Company's business to an extent substantially consistent with the
Executive's present business travel obligations; 

        (iii)  The
failure by the Company to pay to the Executive any portion of the Executive's then Base Salary or allocated bonus, incentive or other form of compensation or to
pay to the Executive any portion of an installment of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Company, within seven (7) days of the date such compensation is due; 

        (iv)  A
reduction in the Base Salary; or 

        (v)  A
material breach of this Agreement by the Company. 

The
Executive's right to terminate the Executive's employment as a result of Constructive Termination shall not be affected by the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness. The
Executive's right to terminate the Executive's employment as a result of a Constructive Termination must be exercised within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Executive becomes aware
of the occurrence of any circumstance constituting Constructive Termination hereunder. 

        (e)  Subsidiary.
"Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation of which the Company or the LLC owns securities having a majority of the ordinary voting
power in electing the board of directors directly or through one or more subsidiaries. 

        9.
D&O Insurance; Indemnification. 

        (a)  To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify the Executive against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative that the Executive is made a party to by reason of the fact that he is or was 

5

 

performing services as an officer or director of the Company. Such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be an employee, officer, or director of the Company and
shall inure to the benefit of his heirs and estate. 

        (b)  Any
costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Executive relating to indemnification under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, shall be paid by the
Company in advance as soon as practicable but not later than three business days after receipt of written request of the Executive; provided that the Executive shall undertake to repay such amount to
the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Executive is not entitled to indemnification. Subject to applicable law, the Executive's right to
indemnification or advances from the Company shall be enforceable by the Executive in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification or advances are not appropriate
shall be on the Company. 

        (c)  The
provisions of this Section 9 are in addition to, and not in derogation of, the indemnification provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and the Indemnification Agreement between the Company and the Executive (the "Indemnification Agreement"). 

        10.
No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive's employment is terminated hereunder, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or
to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company. Furthermore, the amount of any payment provided hereunder shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive. 

        11.
Confidential Information. The Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data obtained by him while employed by the Company or any
Subsidiary (including those obtained prior to the date of this Agreement concerning the business or affairs of the LLC, the Company, or any of their Subsidiaries (collectively, "Confidential
Information")) are the property of the LLC, the Company and such Subsidiaries. Therefore, the Executive agrees that he shall not (during his employment with the Company or at any time thereafter)
disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own purposes any Confidential Information without the express prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned
matters: (a) become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of the Executive's acts or omissions or (b) are required to be disclosed by judicial
process or law. The Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of his employment, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer
tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof)
relating to the Confidential Information, Work Product (as defined below) or the business of the LLC, the Company or any Subsidiary which he may then possess or have under his control. 

        12.
Inventions and Patents. The Executive hereby assigns to the Company all right,-title and interest to all patents and patent applications, all inventions,
innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (in each case whether or not patentable), all copyrights and copyrightable
works, all trade secrets, confidential information and know-how, and all other intellectual property rights that are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made by the Executive
while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries and that (i) relate to the Company's or any Subsidiary's actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future
products or services; or (ii) are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made using any material equipment, supplies, facilities, assets or resources of the Company or any Subsidiary
(including but not limited to any intellectual property rights) ("Work Product"). The Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by
the Board (whether during his employment with the Company or at 

6

 

any time thereafter) to establish and confirm the Company's ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, applications and other instruments). 

        13.
Noncompetition. In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to the Executive hereunder, the Executive acknowledges that in the course of his
employment with the Company he has become and shall become familiar with the Company's trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and that his
services have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its Subsidiaries. Therefore, the Executive agrees that, during the Executive's employment with the Company
and for six (6) months thereafter (collectively the "Noncompete Period"), he shall not, without prior express written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or
otherwise) own or hold any interest in, manage, operate, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner participate in any business engaged in any of the businesses or
services provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the employment with the Company or the Noncompete Period (a "Competing Company") or otherwise competing with the businesses of the Company
or its Subsidiaries, either as a general or limited partner, proprietor, common or preferred shareholder, officer, director, agent, employee, consultant, trustee, affiliate or otherwise. The Executive
acknowledges that the Company's and its affiliates' businesses are conducted nationally and internationally and agrees that the provisions in this Section 13 shall operate throughout the United
States and the world. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of any publicly traded company that
constitutes a Competing Company, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such company. 

        14.
Non-Solicitation. During the Executive's employment with the Company and for twelve (12) months thereafter (collectively the
"Nonsolicit Period"), the Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary to leave the employ of
the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the
Company or any Subsidiary at any time during the twenty-four (24) months preceding the Date of Termination of the Executive, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any
customer, developer, client,
member, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation of the Company or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with
the relationship between any such customer, developer, client, member, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative
statements or communications about the Company or any Subsidiary). 

        15.
Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of any of Sections 11 through 14 a court
shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under
such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and
area permitted by law. Because the Executive's services are unique and because he has access to Confidential Information and Work Product, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that money damages
would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition
to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by the Executive of any of
Sections 11 through 14, the Noncompete Period and the Nonsolicit Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly
cured. The Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in Sections 11 through 14 are reasonable. 

7

 

        16.
Successors; Binding Agreement. 

        (a)  Successors.
The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 16 or which otherwise becomes bound by
all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. 

        (b)  Binding
Agreement. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable
to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive's devisee, legatee, or
other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive's estate. 

        17.
Representations. The Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that: (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by the Executive and the execution of the Company's business plan by the Executive do not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any agreement, contract or instrument to
which the Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Executive is subject, (b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Executive,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, (c) the Executive has not and will not take any action that will conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any noncompete, nonsolicitation or
confidentiality agreement to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is bound and (d) the Executive is a resident of the State of Virginia. The Executive hereby acknowledges
and represents that he has carefully reviewed this Agreement, that he has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, after carefully
