within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter

common areas of the Building to the extent required of the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease,
but subject to all terms, conditions and limitations of the Prime Lease. Unless such failure is a
result of Sublandlord’s default under the Prime Lease, or Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct, Sublandlord shall in no event whatsoever be liable to Subtenant for the failure by
Prime Landlord to keep and perform, according to the terms of the Prime Lease, Prime Landlord’s

delay or interruption in Prime Landlord’s keeping and performing the same.

          (b) Acceptance of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant shall be construed as recognition that

necessity of repair of same.

Subtenant’s rights to use, possess and enjoy the Subleased Premises are subject to the terms,
conditions, rules and regulations of the Prime Lease and the rights and remedies of Prime Landlord
thereunder. Any failure by Subtenant to perform, keep and obey the same and a failure to cure
within the applicable cure period on notice from the Prime Landlord or Sublandlord shall be a
default by Subtenant hereunder.

          (b) To the extent applicable to the Subleased Premises only, Sublandlord hereby transfers and
subleases and Subtenant agrees to assume all of the rights, duties, obligations and privileges
granted to Sublandlord under the Prime Lease with regard to nonexclusive parking rights at the

percent (50%) thereof.

     8. Title and Possession. Sublandlord covenants, agrees and represents that (a) it has
full right and authority to enter into this Sublease for the full Term hereof, that to the best of
Sublandlord’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry and investigation, Sublandlord is not in default
under the Prime Lease (and to the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry and
investigation there exists no event which would constitute an Event of Default under the Prime
Lease but for the giving of any required notice and passage of any applicable grace or cure
period), (b) the person or persons executing this Sublease for Sublandlord are fully authorized to
so act and no other action is required to bind Sublandlord to this Sublease; (c) Sublandlord has
the right and power to execute and deliver this Sublease and to perform its obligations hereunder,
subject only to the Prime Landlord’s consent thereto and (d) this Sublease constitutes the legal,
valid and binding agreement of Sublandlord and is enforceable in accordance with its terms and that
Subtenant, subject to the provisions of the Prime Lease and upon paying the rents and other sums
provided herein and upon performing the duties, covenants, agreements and obligations hereof and
upon keeping and obeying all of the restrictions, conditions and provisions hereof, will have, hold
and enjoy quiet possession of the Subleased Premises, free from claims of persons claiming by or
through Sublandlord for the Term herein granted but subject to all of the duties, covenants,
agreements, obligations, restrictions, conditions and provisions set forth or incorporated herein.
Sublandlord, as of the Effective Date, has not received written notice of any mechanic’s liens
charged against the Premises. During the Term of this Sublease, the Sublandlord agrees not to amend
or modify the Prime Lease in such a manner as to increase Subtenant’s obligations under this
Sublease or adversely impact Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease without prior written notice to
and reasonable approval by Subtenant. During the Term of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall not
voluntarily terminate the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, nor will Sublandlord
knowingly act or knowingly fail to act in such a manner as to cause the termination of the Prime
Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Prime Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever
during the Term, this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously therewith.

     9. Insurance. Subtenant agrees, during the Term hereof, to carry and maintain
insurance of such types and in such amounts as required under Section 11.1 of the Prime
Lease, with a company reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord, insuring Subtenant, with Sublandlord
and Prime Landlord as additional insureds, against any liability with respect to property damage or
events occurring on or about the Subleased Premises or arising out of the use and occupancy thereof
by the Subtenant. The policy or policies maintained by Subtenant shall be issued by a company
licensed to do business in Virginia, and prior to the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall deliver to
Sublandlord a certificate evidencing Subtenant’s compliance with the provisions hereof. Said policy
or policies shall contain a provision requiring the insurer to give Sublandlord and Prime Landlord
thirty (30) days’ written notice before canceling or terminating the policy for any reason,
including expiration of the policy period and a provision naming Sublandlord as a loss payee under
the policy. Subtenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Sublandlord and Prime Landlord
harmless against any and all claims, suits, actions, liabilities, actual costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of a third party claim for injury or death to
persons or damage to property (including specifically, Furniture listed below in EXHIBIT D
and Specialty Equipment listed below in EXHIBIT E) to the extent resulting from any act or
omission of Subtenant, its employees, agents or contractors during the Term hereof.

     10. Sublandlord’s Liability. Except as specifically provided herein, Sublandlord shall
have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Subleased Premises, the condition thereof or
Subtenant’s property situated therein, except for loss, injury or damage caused by
Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Unless such failure is a result of
Sublandlord’s default under the Prime Lease, Sublandlord shall not be liable for the failure by
Prime Landlord to keep and perform, according to the terms of the Prime Lease, Prime Landlord’s
duties, covenants, agreements, obligations, restrictions, conditions and provisions, nor for any
delay or interruption in Prime Landlord’s keeping and performing the same. Sublandlord hereby
assigns to Subtenant, for so long as this Sublease shall be in force and effect, any and all rights
of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises and causes of action
which Sublandlord may have against Prime Landlord with respect to the Subleased Premises due to
default by Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, excluding however (i) those provisions of the
Prime Lease set forth in subsection 7(b) hereof in which certain rights under the Prime
Lease are retained by Sublandlord, and (ii) any right of self help or rent abatement. Sublandlord
agrees to cooperate with and, if requested by Subtenant, join Subtenant in any claims or suits
brought by Subtenant against Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, provided that such participation
shall be without unreasonable cost or expense to Sublandlord and shall in no event exceed Five
Hundred Dollars ($500.00). No allowances for moving, plans or tenant improvements are provided to
Subtenant.

     11. Sublease and Assignment.

          (a) Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or further sublease all or any portion of the
Subleased Premises without first providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
Sublandlord, subject, however, to all the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease. This Sublease
shall not be assigned by operation of law. Subtenant shall not pledge its interest hereunder, or
allow liens to be placed on such interest, or suffer this Sublease or any portion

6

 

thereof to be attached or taken upon execution. Any attempt to sell, assign or sublet without
compliance with the Prime Lease shall be deemed a default by Subtenant.

          (b) Sublandlord shall have the right to terminate this Sublease upon a proposed assignment or
subletting of this Sublease to the extent the Prime Lease is so terminated by the Prime Landlord.
Sublandlord may exercise such right to terminate by giving notice to Subtenant at any time within
thirty (30) days after the date on which Subtenant has furnished to Sublandlord all of the items
required under Section 13.3 of the Prime Lease. If Sublandlord exercises such right to
terminate, Sublandlord shall be entitled to recover possession of, and Subtenant shall surrender
the Subleased Premises on the effective date of the proposed assignment or subletting.

          (c) In the event Sublandlord does not terminate the Prime Lease and this Sublease under
Subsection 11(b) hereof, the following shall apply: (i) Subtenant shall remain fully liable
for the performance of all of Subtenant’s obligations hereunder jointly and severally with any
assignee or subtenant; and (ii) Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord fifty percent (50%) of all rent
and other consideration (less all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses actually paid by
Subtenant in connection with consummating such transfer, including without limitation brokerage
commissions, attorney’s fees, construction and improvements costs) as and when received by
Subtenant in connection with such assignment or subletting to the extent due to Prime Landlord
under the Prime Lease; and (iii) Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all third party attorneys’ or
other out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection with Sublandlord’s
review of any proposed assignment or sublease; provided that such fees and expenses shall not
exceed in each instance the lesser of: (i) Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000.00); and (ii) the amount
payable by Sublandlord to the Prime Landlord plus One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00).

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sublandlord shall have the
unconditional right to assign this Sublease and/or the Prime Lease to any Affiliate (as such term
is defined in the Prime Lease); provided that the original Sublandlord remains liable under this
Sublease and the assignment is made in accordance with the terms of the Prime Lease or otherwise
with Prime Landlord’s consent.

     12. Damage, Destruction or Condemnation. In the event of damage or destruction of the
Subleased Premises or the taking of all or any part thereof under the power of eminent domain, this
Sublease shall terminate only if the Prime Lease is terminated as a result thereof, and the rent
payable hereunder shall abate only as long as and to the extent that the rent due from Sublandlord
to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises abates as a result
thereof. Subtenant shall have no claim to insurance or condemnation proceeds (other than moving
expenses or a taking of or damage to Subtenant’s fixtures or personal property other than its
leasehold interest in the Subleased Premises and then only to the extent the same does not diminish
any award payable to Prime Landlord).

     13. Release
and Waiver of Sburogation. Sublandlord and Subtenant each hereby
releases all causes of action and rights of recovery against each other and their respective
agents,

7

 

officers and employees for any loss, regardless of cause or origin, to the extent of any recovery
to either party from any policy(s) of insurance carried or required to be carried hereunder.
Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that any policies presently existing or obtained on or after the
date hereof (including renewals of present policies) shall include a clause or endorsement to the
effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the
right of the releasor to recover thereunder.

     14. Alterations, Improvement.

          (a) No alterations, additions or improvements in or upon the Subleased Premises shall be made
by Subtenant without the prior written consent by Sublandlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the consent of Prime Landlord. Subtenant shall
comply with the provisions of Article 5 of the Prime Lease with respect to any such
alterations, additions or improvements. All alterations, additions and improvements shall be
made in accordance with applicable building codes and laws.

          (b) If Subtenant requests that Sublandlord approve of any such proposed additions, alterations
or improvements in or upon the Subleased Premises and the same are acceptable to Sublandlord within
ten (10) business days of receipt of such request, Sublandlord shall send such request and
accompanying documentation to the Prime Landlord; provided, however, that if such proposed
additions, alterations or improvements are unacceptable to Sublandlord, within ten (10) business
days of receipt of such request, written notice of the reasons for such determination shall be
provided to Subtenant with reasonably sufficient detail provided so that Subtenant, if possible,
could remedy such objections and resubmit the request. Upon the expiration of the Term hereof, all
such alterations, additions and improvements shall be and remain part of the Subleased Premises and
shall not be removed by Subtenant unless such removal is required or permitted by Prime Landlord,
in which case Subtenant shall remove the same and restore the Subleased Premises to the same
condition in which they were on the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If
Subtenant shall fail to remove the same and restore the Subleased Premises, then Sublandlord may,
but shall not be obligated to, do so at the expense of Subtenant. Personal property, business and
trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, furniture and movable partitions owned by Subtenant shall
be and remain the property of Subtenant and may be removed by Subtenant at any time during the Term
hereof. Subtenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Subtenant covenants and agrees to
indemnify, protect and defend Sublandlord against, and hold Sublandlord harmless from, all liens,
whether for labor or materials arising as the result of alterations, additions, repairs or
improvements to the Subleased Premises made by Subtenant during the Term.

     15. Furniture/Existing Infrastructure/Data Center & Equipment

          (a) Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge that certain furniture described on the attached
EXHIBIT D (the “Furniture”) is currently located in the Subleased Premises. Subtenant
shall have the right to use the Furniture without charge throughout the Term, provided that (i)
Subtenant shall maintain the Furniture in the condition that the Furniture is in on the
Commencement Date (normal wear and tear excepted); (ii) if necessary to return the Furniture to

8

 

its Commencement Date condition, Subtenant shall repair the Furniture at Subtenant’s expense, and
(iii) at no time shall the Subtenant remove any Furniture during the Term. Sublandlord represents
and warrants that, to the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry and
investigation, as of the Effective Date, the Furniture is free and clear of any liens or other
interests which could impede transfer of the Furniture and/or title to the Furniture to Subtenant
pursuant to this Sublease. Unless there is an earlier termination of the Sublease not caused by
the Sublandlord, upon the Expiration Date, Sublandlord shall transfer title of the Furniture for
the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) and such transfer shall be free and clear of any liens or other
interests which could impede transfer of the Furniture.

          (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease, which shall not be amended or
modified from October 1, 2002 without written notice to and reasonable approval by Subtenant,
Subtenant shall have the right, with Prime Landlord’s consent pursuant to the Prime Lease, to
connect certain equipment into the Prime Landlord’s emergency power generator and uninterrupted
power supply systems (“Emergency Power System”), provided, however, that Subtenant’s maximum usage
of the Emergency Power System shall not exceed 72.03% of its total capacity. Subtenant shall pay
directly to the Prime Landlord all costs and expenses related to the Subtenant’s actual usage of
the Emergency Power System. In the event that Subtenant is not permitted to pay such costs
directly, then Sublandlord shall pay the costs and expenses of the Emergency Power System and the
Subtenant shall promptly reimburse the Sublandlord for Sublandlord’s actual costs incurred with
respect to the Subleased Premises; provided that Sublandlord submits reasonable supporting
documentation regarding such costs. In addition, upon the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall agree
to assume all of the Sublandlord’s responsibilities, obligations, and liabilities under the Prime
Lease related to the Emergency Power System; provided that, the parties acknowledge and agree that
any contracts, agreements or other understandings between Sublandlord and a third party concerning
the Emergency Power System (the “EPS Contracts”) shall be terminated as of the Commencement Date
and replaced with such contracts or agreement for regular maintenance and repair of the Emergency
Power System as are reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, and Subtenant shall have no rights or
obligations with regard to the EPS Contracts. Within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date
(and thereafter as may be reasonably requested by Subtenant), Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant
with access to all records related to the maintenance and operations of the Emergency Power
System, but Sublandlord does not, and shall not, make any warranty or representation of any type
related to the Emergency Power System. Subtenant shall assume all of the aforementioned costs as
of the Commencement Date.

          (c) Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge that certain equipment described on the attached
EXHIBIT E (the “Specialty Equipment”) is currently located in the Subleased Premises.
Subtenant accepts all Specialty Equipment WHERE-IS, AS-IS and Sublandlord makes no representation
as to the operating quality of the Specialty Equipment or the suitability of the Specialty
Equipment with regard to the Subtenant’s operations and requirements or otherwise; provided,
however, that as of the Effective Date, Sublandlord represents and warrants that to the best of
Sublandlord’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry and investigation, the Specialty Equipment is
free and clear of any liens or other interests which could impede transfer
of the Specialty Equipment. Within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date (and thereafter

9

 

as may be reasonably requested by Subtenant in writing), Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with
all available information and records related to the Specialty Equipment. From the Commencement
Date and all times thereafter during the Term, Subtenant will, at its sole cost and expense adopt a
formal maintenance and repair program for the Specialty Equipment, which shall include the
engagement at all times of a reputable maintenance and repair contractor experienced in working
with equipment that this the same or substantially similar to the Specialty Equipment, and such
program and contractor shall be reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord. The parties acknowledge and
agree that any contracts, agreements or other understandings between Sublandlord and a third party
concerning the Specialty Equipment (the “SE Contracts”) shall be terminated as of the Commencement
Date and Subtenant shall have no rights or obligations with regard to the SE Contracts. In the
event that the Subtenant is not permitted to pay any or all of the costs associated with the
Specialty Equipment directly to the Prime Landlord or other provider, then the Sublandlord shall
pay all costs and expenses and Subtenant shall within thirty (30) days reimburse the Sublandlord
for the actual costs incurred; provided that Sublandlord submits reasonable supporting
documentation regarding such costs. Subtenant shall not, without the Sublandlord’s prior written
approval, remove or replace any of the Specialty Equipment during the term of this Sublease. Unless
there is an earlier termination of the Sublease not caused by the Sublandlord, upon the Expiration
Date, the Specialty Equipment shall convey to the Subtenant for one dollar ($1.00) and such
transfer shall be free and clear of any liens or other interests which could impede transfer of the
Specialty Equipment.

          (d) To the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge, the Premises as constructed were designed by
Gensler Design and were properly permitted within Fairfax County, Virginia and Sublandlord has not
received written notice of any violation or alleged violation of the Americans with Disabilities
Act with respect to the Premises.

     16. Default. Subtenant shall be considered to be in default of this Sublease to the
extent that Subtenant fails to abide by the terms or conditions of this Sublease and/or the Prime
Lease, with Subtenant being afforded the same rights as to notice of default and curing of default,
if any, as those provided to Sublandlord in Article 15 of the Prime Lease. Furthermore, if
any default under the Prime Lease shall occur with respect to Subtenant or the performance by
Subtenant of any of its covenants and obligations under this Sublease, then and in any of said
cases, Subtenant shall be deemed in default, and Sublandlord shall have the following rights and
remedies against Subtenant (in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or in
equity): (i) to terminate this Sublease, (ii) to cure or attempt to cure the default, whereupon
Subtenant shall upon demand reimburse Sublandlord for all costs thus expended together with
interest thereon at the lesser rate (the “Interest Rate”) of the highest rate permitted by law or
twelve percent (12%) per annum, (iii) to sue for Subtenant’s performance, whereupon, if Sublandlord
is the prevailing party in such suit in a court of competent jurisdiction, Subtenant shall upon
demand reimburse Sublandlord for all costs thus expended together with interest thereon at the
Interest Rate; (iv) to exercise all remedies set forth in the Prime Lease as if Sublandlord were
the Prime Landlord and Subtenant were the Tenant thereunder, or (v) to re-enter and take possession
of the Subleased Premises, and to remove any property therein, without liability for damage to, and
without the obligation to store such property but may store same at Subtenant’s reasonable expense.
In the event of such re-entry, Sublandlord may, but shall not be

obligated to, relet the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, from time to time, in the name of
Sublandlord or Subtenant, without further notice, for such term or terms, on such conditions and
for such uses and purposes as Sublandlord, in its sole discretion,
may determine, and Sublandlord
may collect and receive all rents derived therefrom and apply the same, after deduction of all
appropriate expenses (including broker’s, consultant’s and attorney’s fees, if incurred, and the
expenses of putting the property in leasable condition), to the payment of the Rent and other sums
payable hereunder, Subtenant remaining liable for any deficiency. Sublandlord shall not be
responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, or for
failure to collect any rent connected therewith. The exercise by Sublandlord of any remedy shall
not preclude the subsequent or simultaneous exercise of any other remedy. No delay in exercising
any remedy shall be deemed a waiver thereof. In addition, any payment not made when due shall bear
interest until paid at the Interest Rate.

     17. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given or served
by either party hereto upon the other shall be deemed given or served in accordance with the
provisions of this Sublease when mailed in a sealed wrapper by United States registered or

Each mailed notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given to, or served upon,
the party to which addressed on the date the same is deposited in the United States registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid or delivered for overnight delivery to such courier, properly
addressed in the manner above provided. Any party hereto may change its address for the

11

 

service of notice hereunder by serving written notice hereunder upon the other party hereto, in
the manner specified above, at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such change.

     18. Surrender of Subleased Premises. Upon an early termination of this Sublease,
Subtenant shall quit and surrender possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord in as good
order and condition as the same are now or hereafter may be improved by Prime Landlord or
Subtenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are Prime Landlord’s obligation excepted, and
shall, without expense to Sublandlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Subleased Premises
all debris and rubbish, all furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing
cabinet work, movable partitioning and other articles of personal property owned by Subtenant or
installed or placed by Subtenant at its expense in the Subleased Premises, and all similar articles
of any other persons claiming under Subtenant, and Subtenant shall repair all damage to the
Subleased Premises resulting from such removal. If, as a result of a default by Subtenant under
this Sublease or any action taken by the Prime Landlord pursuant to the Prime Lease, Sublandlord or
Prime Landlord re-enters or re-takes possession of the Subleased Premises prior to the normal
expiration of this Sublease, Sublandlord or Prime Landlord shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to remove from the Subleased Premises all personal property located therein belonging
to Subtenant, and either party may discard such debris, rubbish and personal property or place such
personal property in storage in a public warehouse, all at the reasonable expense and risk of
Subtenant.

     19. Termination of Prime Lease. It is understood and agreed by and between the
parties hereto that the existence of this Sublease is dependent and conditioned upon the continued
existence of the Prime Lease and this Sublease shall automatically terminate on the termination,
cancellation or expiration of the Prime Lease.

     20. Waiver. No provision of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been waived unless
such waiver is in writing signed by the party charged with such waiver. A waiver by Sublandlord
of any default, breach or failure of Subtenant under this Sublease shall not be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent or different default, breach or failure.

     21. Holding Over. If Subtenant or anyone claiming under Subtenant holds over after the
early termination of the Term hereof without the express written consent of Sublandlord, Subtenant
shall become a tenant at sufferance only, at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the rental rate
per square foot in effect under the Prime Lease upon such date, or such greater amount payable to
Prime Landlord as a result of such holdover, including any holdover costs for the Subleased
Premises and/or Premises as described in the Prime Lease, and otherwise upon the terms, covenants
and conditions herein specified, so far as applicable. Acceptance by Sublandlord of Rent after
such termination shall not constitute a consent to a holdover hereunder or result in a renewal.
The foregoing provisions of this section are in addition to and do not affect or diminish
Sublandlord’s right of reentry or any other rights of Sublandlord hereunder or as otherwise
provided by law and Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for any holding over after the early
termination of the Term hereof.

12

 

     22. Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of
this Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of
Sublandlord and on the successors and assigns of Subtenant but only to the extent herein specified.

     23. Captions. The captions herein are for convenience only and are not a part of this
Sublease.

     24. Interest. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord interest on all sums of whatever
nature to be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder from the time said sum shall become due and
payable until the same is paid at the Interest Rate.

     25. Relationship of Parties. This Sublease does not and shall not create the
relationship of principal and agent, or of partnership, or of joint venture, or of any other
association between Sublandlord and Subtenant, except that of sublandlord and subtenant.

     26. Brokerage. Sublandlord and Subtenant each represents to the other that no real
estate brokers or agents are involved in this Sublease, except (i) Spaulding & Slye Colliers, and
(ii) The Staubach Company — Northeast, Inc., both of which shall be compensated by Sublandlord
pursuant to a separate agreement. Sublandlord and Subtenant each shall indemnify and hold the other
harmless from any breach by it of this representation.

     27. Security Deposit.

          (a) Upon Subtenant’s execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a
letter of credit equal to the sum of One Hundred Ninety Five Thousand Dollars ($195,000.00) (the
“Security Deposit”), which Security Deposit shall be in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable
and transferable letter of credit (hereinafter the “Letter of Credit”) issued for the account of
Sublandlord by a bank reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Sublandlord and shall comply with all requirements set forth in Section 27(b)
below. The Security Deposit shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the performance of
Subtenant’s obligations and covenants under this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that
the Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Sublandlord’s damages in
case Subtenant fails to faithfully uphold and perform the terms and obligations of this Sublease
and the Prime Lease. If Subtenant fails to so uphold and perform the terms and conditions of this
Sublease or the Prime Lease (after expiration of the applicable notice and cure periods of this
Sublease or the Prime Lease, as applicable), or if upon an early termination of this Sublease
Subtenant fails to surrender the Subleased Premises in the condition required by this Sublease,
Sublandlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), and without prejudice to any other
remedy which Sublandlord may have on account thereof, to apply all or any portion of the Security
Deposit to cure such default or to remedy the condition of the Subleased Premises. If Sublandlord
so applies the Security Deposit or any portion thereof before the Expiration Date or earlier
termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall increase the Security Deposit, upon demand, by the
amount necessary to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Any remaining balance of
the Security Deposit shall be returned to Subtenant at such

13

 

time after the Expiration Date that all of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease have been
fulfilled, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following the Expiration Date.
Sublandlord shall conduct a “Post Termination Inspection” of the Subleased Premises within
fifteen (15) days after the termination of this Sublease.

          (b) The Letter of Credit shall designate an address in Fairfax County, Virginia for
presentment. The Letter of Credit shall permit Sublandlord or its duly authorized
representative (1) to draw thereon up to the full amount of the credit evidenced thereby upon
presentation of the Letter of Credit in a sight draft in the amount to be drawn, together with
Sublandlord’s written statement that it is entitled to draw thereon pursuant to the terms of this
Sublease, and (2) to draw the full amount thereof to be held as the Security Deposit pursuant to
this Section 27 if Sublandlord receives notice form the bank or Subtenant that (i) the
Letter of Credit is not being renewed, or (ii) that the Letter of Credit may no longer be presented
for payment in Fairfax County, Virginia and, in either case, Subtenant has not delivered to
Sublandlord a replacement cash security deposit or Letter of Credit which is presentable in Fairfax
County, Virginia by thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, or the
date when presentment may no longer be made in Fairfax County, Virginia, as the case may be, any
which replacement Letter of Credit shall comply with the terms of this Section 27. The
Letter of Credit shall provide that the bank shall give Sublandlord at least sixty (60) days prior
written notice (by means of a receipted delivery) that the Letter of Credit is not being renewed or
that the place of presentment is being changed from the address set forth in the Letter of Credit.
The term of the Letter of Credit, as the same may be extended, shall not expire prior to the date
which is sixty (60) days after the Sublease Term. The Letter of Credit shall be fully transferable
by Sublandlord and its successors and assigns. If Sublandlord presents the Letter of Credit for
payment, the proceeds of the Letter of Credit shall become the Security Deposit hereunder and shall
be held, applied and returned by Sublandlord in accordance with the terms provided in this
Paragraph 27. Subtenant shall pay all expenses, points or fees incurred by it in obtaining the
Letter of Credit.

          (c) Provided that Subtenant does not default under this Sublease or the Prime Lease, beyond
any applicable grace or cure period, during the first two (2) years of the Term of this Sublease,
then upon the third annual anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the security deposit shall be
reduced to Eighty Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($80,200.00), where it shall remain through the
expiration or termination of the Sublease.

     28. Approval of Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Sublease is contingent
upon the approval of Prime Landlord. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain such consent in writing within the twenty (20) day period following the execution of this
Sublease by Sublandlord and Subtenant.

     29. Severability. In the event any part of this Sublease is held to be unenforceable
or invalid, for any reason, the balance of this Sublease shall not be affected and shall remain in
full force and effect during the term of this Sublease.

14

 

     30. Costs of Suit/Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any action or proceeding brought
by either party against the other under this Sublease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the other party the fees of its attorneys in such action or proceeding in such amount
as the court may judge to be reasonable for such attorneys’ fees.

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

- 4 -

 

Landlord’s due execution and delivery of this Lease, and (iv) this Lease constitutes
Landlord’s valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     Section 2.2 Commencement Date. Upon the Effective Date, the terms and provisions hereof shall
be fully binding on Landlord and Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that prior to the date hereof,
Landlord has delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant. The Term of this Lease shall commence

implied, by or on behalf of Landlord as to the condition or usability thereof. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide

Existing Furnishings to this Lease. Landlord represents that the Existing Furnishings
comprise a portion of the personal property described in that certain Warranty Bill of Sale, dated
May 3, 2002, from Winstar Communications, LLC (“Winstar”) to Landlord. Tenant shall have the right
to use the Existing Furnishings without charge throughout the Term, provided that (i) Tenant shall

a date and time and make all other necessary arrangements for Landlord’s removal of the designated
Existing Furniture. Within 30 days after receipt of an invoice therefor, Tenant will reimburse
Landlord for Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Landlord’s removal of
the designated Existing Furniture including, without limitation, moving company and electrician
charges. Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses will not include any storage charges for the designated

Furniture will no longer be considered part of the Existing Furniture and neither Tenant nor any
party claiming by, through or under Tenant shall have any interest in or claim upon such Existing
Furniture.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default then exists, promptly after the
expiration of the 3rd Lease Year, Tenant shall pay $10.00 to Landlord for the Existing
Furnishings and Landlord shall transfer Landlord’s title to the Existing Furnishings to Tenant by
bill of sale. Following conveyance of the Existing Furnishings, the restrictions concerning

     Section 5.1 Tenant’s Alterations.

          (a) Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or other physical changes in or about the
Premises (collectively, “Alterations”) (other than decorative Alterations such as painting, wall
coverings and floor coverings (collectively, “Decorative Alterations”)) without Landlord’s prior
written consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent for normal and customary
alterations typically made by office tenants in Comparable Buildings, provided that (i) such
Alterations are non-structural, do not affect any Building Systems and do not tie into the backup

outside of the Premises, (iv) such Alterations do not invalidate or violate the non-residential use
permit issued for the Building or the Premises, (v) such Alterations do not violate any
Requirement, and (vi) prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant shall, unless otherwise directed by
Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, remove any such Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the
time Tenant requests Landlord’s consent for any such Alteration, Tenant may, by written notice to
Landlord, request Landlord’s written decision as to whether Landlord shall require Tenant to remove
such Alteration at the end of the Term, which decision shall be irrevocable and shall be promptly
given. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, Tenant shall repair and restore, in a good and
workmanlike manner, any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by Tenant’s removal of any
such Alterations, and upon default thereof, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual
cost of repairing and restoring such damage.

          (b) Plans and Specifications. Prior to making any Alterations, Tenant, at its expense,
shall (i) submit to Landlord for its approval, detailed plans and specifications (“Plans”) of each
proposed Alteration (other than Decorative Alterations), and with respect to any

- 7 -

 

Alteration affecting any Building System, evidence that the Alteration has been designed by,
or reviewed and approved by, Landlord’s designated engineer for the affected Building System, whose
current name, address and contact information has been previously provided to Tenant, (ii) obtain
all permits, approvals and certificates required by any Governmental
Authorities, (iii) furnish to
Landlord duplicate original policies or certificates of worker’s compensation (covering all persons
to be employed by Tenant, and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors in connection with such
Alteration) and commercial general liability (including property damage coverage) insurance and
Builder’s Risk coverage (as described in Article 11) all in such form, with such companies, for
such periods and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require, naming Landlord, Landlord’s
Agent, any Lessor and any Mortgagee as additional insureds, and (iv) furnish to Landlord reasonably
satisfactory evidence of Tenant’s ability to complete and to fully pay for such Alterations (other
than Decorative Alterations). Tenant shall give Landlord not less than 5 Business Days’ notice
prior to performing any Decorative Alteration, which notice shall contain a description of such
Decorative Alteration.

          (c) Governmental Approvals. Tenant, at its expense, shall, as and when required,
promptly obtain certificates of partial and final approval of such Alterations required by any
Governmental Authority and shall furnish Landlord with copies thereof, together with “as-built”
Plans for such Alterations prepared on an AutoCAD Computer Assisted Drafting and Design System (or
such other system or medium as Landlord may reasonably accept), using naming conventions issued by
the American Institute of Architects in June, 1990 (or such other naming conventions as Landlord
may reasonably accept) and magnetic computer media of such record drawings and specifications
translated in DFX format or another format acceptable to Landlord.

          (d) Tenant Improvements. Landlord and Tenant agree the provisions of this Article 5 shall not
apply to the construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements. Reference is hereby made to
the provisions of Exhibit C - Work Letter concerning the construction and installation of
the Tenant Improvements.

     Section 5.2 Manner and Quality of Alterations. All Alterations shall be performed (a) in a
good and workmanlike manner and free from defects, (b) substantially in accordance with the
Plans, and by contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, and (c) in compliance with all
Requirements, the terms of this Lease and all construction procedures and regulations reasonably
prescribed by Landlord including, without limitation, the Construction Rules and Regulations
attached as Exhibit C-3 to this Lease. All materials and equipment shall be of first
quality and at least equal to the applicable standards for the Building then established by
Landlord.

     Section 5.3 Removal of Tenant’s Property. Tenant’s Property shall remain the property
of Tenant and Tenant may remove the same at any time on or before the Expiration Date. On or
prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant shall, unless otherwise directed by Landlord, at Tenant’s
expense, remove any Specialty Alteration and close up any slab penetrations in the Premises.
Tenant shall repair and restore, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damage to the Premises or
the Building caused by Tenant’s removal of any Alterations or Tenant’s Property or by the closing
of any slab penetrations, and upon default thereof, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket cost of repairing and restoring such damage. Any

- 8 -

 

Specialty Alterations or Tenant’s Property not so removed by the Expiration Date shall be
deemed abandoned and Landlord may remove and dispose of same, and repair and restore any damage
caused thereby, at Tenant’s cost and without accountability to Tenant. All other Alterations shall
become Landlord’s property upon termination of this Lease.

     Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove the Tenant Improvements
(including, without limitation, the Rooftop HVAC Units) shown on the *space plan attached as
Exhibit C-l to Exhibit C-Work Letter.

     Section 5.4 Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant, at its expense, shall discharge any lien or charge
recorded or filed against the Real Property in connection with any work done or claimed to have
been done by or on behalf of, or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant,
within 20 days after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof by payment, filing the bond required by
law or otherwise in accordance with law.

     Section 5.5 Labor Relations. Tenant shall not employ, or permit the employment of, any
contractor, mechanic or laborer, or permit any materials to be delivered to or used in the
Building, if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such employment, delivery or use will interfere
or cause any conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction,
maintenance or operation of the Building by Landlord, Tenant or others. If such interference or
conflict occurs, upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall cause all contractors, mechanics or
laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately.

     Section 5.6 Tenant’s Costs. If Landlord and Tenant agree in writing that Landlord will
perform any Alterations, Tenant shall pay promptly to Landlord, within 30 days after Landlord’s
written demand an administrative fee in an amount equal to 2% of the total cost of such
Alterations performed by Landlord. The foregoing fee shall be inclusive of costs incurred in
connection with (a) Landlord’s review of the Alterations (including review of requests for
approval thereof) and (b) the provision of Building personnel during the performance of any
Alteration, to operate elevators or otherwise to facilitate Tenant’s Alterations.

     Section 5.7
Tenant’s Equipment. Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord prior to moving any
heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures (collectively, “Equipment”)
into or out of the Building and shall pay to Landlord any out-of-pocket costs actually incurred
by Landlord in connection therewith. If such Equipment requires special handling, Tenant agrees
(a) to employ only persons holding all necessary licenses to perform such work, (b) all work
performed in connection therewith shall comply with all applicable Requirements and (c) such work
shall be done only during hours designated by Landlord.

     Section 5.8 Legal Compliance. The approval of Plans, or consent by Landlord to the
making of any Alterations, does not constitute Landlord’s representation that such Plans or
Alterations comply with any Requirements. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease to

- 13 -

 

defined) of the Emergency Power System; provided, however, if Landlord has approved Tenant’s use
of the Emergency Power System, Landlord will not have the right to thereafter revoke such
approval.

     Following Landlord’s receipt of the EPS Plans, Landlord shall provide written notice approving
the EPS Plans or notice in reasonable detail of Landlord’s reasonable disapproval of such EPS Plans
(“Landlord’s EPS Plan Response”). If Landlord has not delivered to Tenant Landlord’s EPS Plan
Response within 7 days after Landlord’s receipt of the EPS Plans, Tenant shall send a second notice
which must state “SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST” at the top of the notice (the “Second EPS Notice”). If
Landlord has not delivered to Tenant Landlord’s EPS Plan Response within 7 days after Landlord
receives the Second EPS Notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the EPS Plans.

     If Landlord approves of Tenant’s use of the Emergency Power System, at Landlord’s election,
either Landlord’s contractor will connect Tenant’s approved equipment to the Emergency Power
System or Tenant’s contractor will connect Tenant’s approved equipment to the Emergency Power
System, in either case, at Tenant’s expense.

          (b) Landlord will operate, maintain, repair and make any capital repairs or replacements to
the Emergency Power System.

          (c) (i) If Tenant elects to connect any equipment to the Emergency Power System, Tenant

Rent and shall be due and payable to Landlord within 30 days after Landlord sends Tenant an
invoice therefor. Landlord will be entitled to an administrative charge of 10% of Tenant’s EPS
Share (the “EPS Fee”).

          (d) Landlord shall have no liability arising from any failure of the Emergency Power System or
any component thereof to operate properly or at all at any time including, without limitation, no
liability if any such failure results in any of Tenant’s equipment not functioning or not
functioning fully or properly, Tenant losing any data, Tenant missing or being delayed in meeting
any business or other deadlines, or Tenant incurring any other costs or damages.

          (e) Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by the rules and regulations

County Assessor of Fairfax County for the purpose of imposition of Taxes.

          (b) “Base Operating Expenses” shall mean the Operating Expenses for the Base Year.

          (c) “Base Taxes” shall mean the Taxes payable on account of the Base Year.

improvement) provided, the amount included in Operating Expenses in any Comparison Year shall not
exceed the lesser of the actual cost of such improvement amortized (with interest at the Base Rate
in effect on the date Landlord incurred the cost or expense of such improvement) over its useful
life, as reasonably determined by Landlord, or an amount equal to the savings reasonably estimated
by Landlord as having resulted from the installation and operation of such improvement, and/or (B)

period shall be increased by an amount equal to the costs and expenses that would have been
reasonably incurred by Landlord during such period if Landlord had furnished such item(s) of work
or service to such portion of the Building. In determining the amount of Operating Expenses for the
Base Year or any Comparison Year, if less than 95% of the Building rentable area is occupied by
tenants at any time during any such Base Year or Comparison Year, Operating Expenses that vary with
the Building occupancy level shall be determined for such Base Year or Comparison Year to be an
amount equal to the like expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such

calculated using generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

          (f) “Statement” shall mean a statement containing a comparison of (i) the Taxes payable for
the Base Year and for any Comparison Year, or (ii) the Base Operating Expenses and the Operating
Expenses payable for any Comparison Year.

installments of such assessment becoming payable during such Comparison Year, together with
interest (but only if the Tax Payment is not overdue) payable during such Comparison Year on such
installments and on all installments thereafter becoming due as provided by law, all as if such
assessment had been so divided. If at any time the methods of taxation prevailing on the Effective
Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or as an addition to the whole or any part of Taxes, there
shall be assessed, levied or imposed (1) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge based on the
income or rents received from the Real Property whether or not wholly or partially as a capital
levy or otherwise, (2) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole

Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable
estimate of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year (the “Tax Estimate”). Tenant shall pay
to Landlord on the 1st day of each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to
1/12 of the Tax Estimate for such Comparison Year. If Landlord furnishes a Tax Estimate for a
Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) until the 1st day of
the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on the 1st day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.2 during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year,
(ii) promptly after the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall
give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Tax Estimate previously made for
such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Tax Estimate to be made
for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Tax Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a
deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within 30 days after written demand therefor, or
(y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against the
next occurring (and if necessary, to subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, unless Tenant
requests a refund and there exists no Event of Default, in which case Landlord will promptly

month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the 1st day of each month
thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount
equal to 1/12 of the Tax Estimate.

     Any provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant’s obligation to pay
Tenant’s Tax Payment shall commence on the first anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date.

          (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after Landlord has determined the Taxes for a Comparison
Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement for such Comparison Year. If the Statement shall
show that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.2(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Tax
Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against next
occurring (and if necessary, subsequent) payments of Rent due hereunder. If the Statement for such
Comparison Year shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Tax Payment for
such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within 30 days after delivery
of the Statement to Tenant.

          (c) Only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce the Assessed Valuation of the
Real Property and the filings of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord’s consent shall
constitute an Event of Default. If the Taxes payable for the Base Year are reduced, the Base Taxes
shall be correspondingly revised, the Additional Rent previously paid or payable on account of
Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder for all Comparison Years shall be recomputed on the basis of such
reduction, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord within 10 Business Days after being billed therefor,
any deficiency between the amount of such Additional Rent previously computed and paid by Tenant to
Landlord, and the amount due as a result of such recomputations. If

- 17 -

 

Landlord receives a refund of Taxes for any Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit against
subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the
refund, net of any expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund, which amount shall not
exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment paid for such Comparison Year. Landlord shall not be obligated to file
any application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in Taxes or the Assessed Valuation.
The benefit of any exemption or abatement relating to all or any part of the Real Property shall
accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord and Taxes shall be computed without taking into account
any such exemption or abatement.

          Any provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, upon Tenant’s written request,
Landlord shall meet with Tenant at a mutually convenient time to discuss the Assessed Valuation of
the Real Property. In connection with any such meeting, Tenant may submit a written report of any
independent tax consultant obtained by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense.

          (d) Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable occupancy or rent tax now in effect or
hereafter enacted and, if payable by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay such amounts to Landlord,
within 30 days after Landlord’s demand.

Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate
Share of such excess (“Tenant’s
Operating Payment”). For each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement
setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison
Year, based upon such year’s budget (the “Estimate”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the
1st day of each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to 1/12 of Landlord’s
estimate of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year. If Landlord furnishes an Estimate
for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (a) until the 1st day
of the month following the month in which the Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on the 1st day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.3 during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year,
(b) promptly after the Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give
notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment previously made for
such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment to be
made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Estimate, and (i) if there shall be a
deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within 30 Business Days after written demand
therefor, or (ii) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof
against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, and (c) on the 1st day of the month
following the month in which the Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the 1st day of
each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of Tenant’s Operating Payment shown on the Estimate.

          (b) On or before May 1st of each Comparison Year, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant a Statement for the immediately preceding Comparison Year. If the Statement shows
that

- 18 -

 

the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.3(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Operating
Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against
subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder. If the Statement shows that the sums so paid by Tenant
were less than Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of
such deficiency within 30 Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement.

     Any provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant’s obligation to pay
Tenant’s Operating Payment shall commence on the first anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date.

     Section 7.4 Non-Waiver; Disputes.

          (a) Landlord’s failure to render any Statement on a timely basis with respect to any
Comparison Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a Statement with respect
to such Comparison Year or any subsequent Comparison Year, nor shall the rendering of a Statement
prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected Statement for that Comparison Year.

          (b) Landlord agrees to retain the books and records substantiating the Operating Expenses
incurred in each calendar year for a period of at least 3 years from the date Landlord submits a
Statement to Tenant. Each Statement sent to Tenant shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless
Tenant (i) pays to Landlord when due the amount set forth in such Statement, without prejudice to
Tenant’s right to dispute such Statement, and (if) within 1 year after such Statement is sent,
sends a notice to Landlord objecting to such Statement and specifying the reasons therefor. Tenant
agrees that Tenant will not employ, in connection with any dispute under this Lease, any person who
is to be compensated in whole or in part, on a contingency fee basis. If the parties are unable to
resolve any dispute as to the correctness of such Statement within 30 days following such notice of
objection (during which time Landlord shall make available reasonably detailed supporting
documentation), either party may refer the issues raised to a nationally recognized public
accounting firm (other than Arthur Andersen) selected reasonably acceptable to the other party, and
the decision of such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. In
connection therewith, Tenant and such accountants shall execute and deliver to Landlord a
confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such
parties agree not to disclose to any third party any of the information obtained in connection with
such review. Any audit that discloses a discrepancy of more than 3% in the annual Operating
Expenses shall be at Landlord’s expense and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such cost
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) within 30 days of the result of the audit. Any discrepancy

Tenant’s election) a refund from Landlord of the overpaid amount within 30 days, as may be
applicable. If Tenant does not contest a Statement of Operating Expenses within 1 year after it is
rendered, such Statement shall become binding and conclusive on both Landlord and Tenant, except
that any such Statement which contains material and intentional misrepresentations shall not be
binding and conclusive on Tenant.

including, but not limited to, any applicable laws, rules, regulations and codes; provided,
however, the foregoing indemnification shall (i) include the Building Standard Installations in the
Premises as it exists on the date hereof, (ii) not limit Landlord’s obligations under 8.1(c) and
(iii) not limit the inclusion of any costs related thereto as Operating Expenses to the extent such
costs qualify as Operating Expenses under Article 7.

          After the Commencement Date, Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all Requirements
applicable to the Premises (excluding those applicable to the Building Standard Installations in
the Premises as it exists on the date hereof); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be
obligated to comply with any Requirements requiring any structural alterations to the Building
unless the application of such Requirements arises from (i) the specific manner and nature of
Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, as distinct from the Permitted Uses, (ii) Alterations
made by Tenant, or (iii) an Event of Default. Any such repairs or alterations shall be made at
Tenant’s expense by Tenant (1) in compliance with Article 5 if such repairs or alterations are
nonstructural and do not affect any Building System, or (2) by Landlord if such repairs or
alterations are structural or affect any Building System. If Tenant obtains knowledge of any
failure to comply with any Requirements applicable to the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord
prompt notice thereof.

          (b) Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not cause or permit (i) any Hazardous Materials to be
brought into the Building, (ii) the storage or use of Hazardous Materials in any manner other than
in full compliance with any Requirements, or (iii) the escape, disposal or release of any Hazardous
Materials within or in the vicinity of the Building. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent
Tenant’s use of any Hazardous Materials customarily used in the ordinary course of office work and
cleaning, provided such use is in accordance with all Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at
its expense, for all matters directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from the
presence of Hazardous Materials in the Building which is caused or

- 20 -

 

permitted by a Tenant Party. Tenant shall promptly provide to Landlord copies of all
communications received by Tenant with respect to any Requirements relating to Hazardous
Materials, and/or any claims made in connection therewith. Landlord or its agents may perform
environmental inspections of the Premises at any time. Landlord represents that Landlord has
delivered to Tenant a true and correct copy of the environmental report that Landlord caused to
be prepared when Landlord acquired the Building.

          (c) Landlord’s Compliance. Landlord shall comply with (or cause to be complied with) all
Requirements applicable to the Building which are not the obligation of Tenant, to the extent that
non-compliance would materially impair Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted
Uses. To the extent that Tenant is not required under the terms of this Lease to comply therewith,
Landlord shall indemnify Tenant against any claim or liability arising from the failure of the
Building (other than areas of the Building leased to tenants) to comply with all Requirements
including, without limitation, the ADA. Any provision of this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, to the extent that Landlord incurs any costs in causing the Building or any
portion thereof to comply with any applicable Requirements and such costs qualify as Operating
Expenses, such costs shall be included as Operating Expenses. The foregoing notwithstanding, to
the extent that the Building is not in compliance with any Requirements as of the Commencement Date
and Landlord incurs any costs in causing the Building or any portion thereof to comply with any
such Requirements, such costs shall be paid by Landlord and shall not be included as Operating
Expenses.

          (d) Landlord’s Insurance. Tenant shall not cause or permit any action or condition that would
(i) invalidate or conflict with Landlord’s insurance policies, (ii) violate applicable rules,
regulations and guidelines of the Fire Department, Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any other
authority having jurisdiction over the Building, (iii) cause an increase in the premiums of fire
insurance for the Building over that payable with respect to Comparable Buildings, or (iv) result
in Landlord’s insurance companies’ refusing to insure the Building or any property therein in
amounts and against risks as reasonably determined by Landlord. If fire insurance premiums increase
as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.1, Tenant shall
promptly cure such failure and shall reimburse Landlord for the increased fire insurance premiums
paid by Landlord as a result of such failure by Tenant.

     Section 8.2 Fire and Life Safety. Landlord shall cause the Common Areas to comply with all
applicable fire and life safety Requirements. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that
the Common Areas do not comply with all applicable fire and life safety Requirements as of the
Commencement Date and Landlord incurs any costs in causing the Building or any portion thereof to
comply with any such fire and life safety Requirements, such costs shall be paid by Landlord and
shall not be included as Operating Expenses. Any modifications to the fire alarm and life safety
systems installed in the Premises required by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
If the Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any Governmental Authority or any of Landlord’s
insurers requires or recommends any modifications and/or alterations be made or any additional
equipment be supplied in connection with the sprinkler system or fire alarm and life-safety
system serving the Building by reason of Tenant’s business, any Alterations performed by Tenant
following the Commencement Date, Tenant’s Property, or other contents of the Premises, Landlord
(to the extent outside of the

- 21 -

 

Premises) or Tenant (to the extent within the Premises) shall make such modifications and/or
Alterations, and supply such additional equipment, in either case at Tenant’s expense.

ARTICLE 9

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT

     Section 9.1 Subordination and Attornment.

          (a) Tenant acknowledges that prior to the date hereof, Landlord has provided Tenant with the
standard form non-disturbance and attornment agreement presently used by Landlord’s existing
Mortgagee. Within 60 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s comments to such standard form,
Landlord shall obtain for Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from
Landlord’s existing Mortgagee, in such standard form (provided that such form is commercially
reasonable). In addition, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but without being
obligated to commence any legal or arbitration proceeding and without the expenditure of
unreimbursed sums (other than reasonable expenses that a landlord normally incurs in attempting to
obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement for its tenant, such as Landlord’s
attorneys’ fees)) to obtain for Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement
from all future Mortgagees and Lessors, in the standard form customarily employed by such Mortgagee
and/or Lessor (provided that such form is commercially reasonable). Upon Landlord’s satisfaction
of the foregoing, which shall include the Mortgagee or Lessor, as applicable, agreeing to recognize
and be bound by the terms of this Lease (as herein set forth) upon a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu
thereof or termination of any such ground lease, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all
Mortgages and Superior Leases, and, at the request of any Mortgagee or Lessor, Tenant shall attorn
to such Mortgagee or Lessor, its successors in interest or any purchaser in a foreclosure sale.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.l(a), if a Lessor or Mortgagee or any other person
or entity shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or
foreclosure action or the delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of the successor
landlord and upon such successor landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment and to
recognize Tenant’s interest under this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned to and
recognized such successor landlord as Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 9.1
are self-operative and require no further instruments to give effect hereto; provided, however,
that Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such successor landlord may
reasonably request (i) evidencing such attornment, (ii) setting forth the terms and conditions of
Tenant’s tenancy, and (iii) containing such other terms and conditions as may be required by such
Mortgagee or Lessor, provided that (i) such terms and conditions do not increase the Rent,
materially increase Tenant’s obligations or materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights under
this Lease, and (ii) Tenant shall have no obligation to execute such instrument until Landlord
delivers the subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement described in and in accordance
with Section 9.1(a). Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as
a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and
covenants set forth in this Lease except that such successor landlord shall not be:

- 22 -

 

               (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord (except to the extent such act or omission
continues beyond the date when such successor landlord succeeds to Landlord’s interest and Tenant
gives notice of such act or omission);

               (ii) subject to any defense, claim, counterclaim, set-off or offsets which Tenant may have
against Landlord;

               (iii) bound by any prepayment of more than one month’s Rent to any prior landlord;

               (iv) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be
made prior to the time such successor landlord succeeded to Landlord’s interest;

               (v) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises
except for (x) repairs and maintenance required to be made by Landlord under this Lease, and (y)
repairs to the Premises as a result of damage by fire or other casualty or a partial condemnation
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, but only to the extent that such repairs can reasonably
be made from the net proceeds of any insurance or condemnation awards, respectively, actually made
available to such successor landlord;

               (vi) bound by any modification, amendment, or renewal of this Lease made without successor
landlord’s consent;

               (vii) bound by any provisions of the Lease with respect to the Existing Furnishings;

               (viii) liable for the repayment of any security deposit or surrender of any letter of credit,
unless and until such security deposit actually is paid or such letter of credit is actually
delivered to such successor landlord; or

               (ix) liable for the payment of any unfunded tenant improvement allowance, refurbishment
allowance or similar obligation.

          (c) Tenant shall from time to time within 15 days of request from Landlord, but not more
frequently than 3 times in any 12 month period, execute and deliver any documents or instruments
that may be reasonably required by any Mortgagee or Lessor to confirm any subordination.

     Section 9.2 Mortgage or Superior Lease Defaults. Any Mortgagee may elect that this
Lease shall have priority over the Mortgage and, upon notification to Tenant by such Mortgagee,
this Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Mortgage, regardless of the date of this
Lease. In connection with any financing of the Real Property, Tenant shall consent to any
reasonable modifications of this Lease requested by any lending institution, provided such
modifications do not increase the Rent, materially increase the obligations, or materially and
adversely affect the rights, of Tenant under this Lease.

     Section 9.3 Tenant’s Termination Right. As long as any Superior Lease or Mortgage exists,
Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of

- 23 -

 

Landlord unless (a) Tenant shall have given notice of such act or omission to all Lessors
and Mortgagees, and (b) no such Lessor or Mortgagee promptly commences to remedy and thereafter
diligently proceeds to remedy such act or omission; provided that in no event shall the Lessor
and/or Mortgagee’s cure period be for fewer than 30 days nor shall it exceed 75 days after Lessor’s
or Mortgagee’s receipt of the aforementioned written notice. No Lessor or Mortgagee shall have any
obligation to attempt to cure any act of omission of Landlord. If any Lessor or Mortgagee elects to
attempt to cure any act or omission of Landlord, no such Lessor or Mortgagee shall have any
obligation to continue to proceed to attempt to such any such act or omission and such Lessor or
Mortgagee shall have the right to abandon such attempt to cure such act or omission of Landlord at
any time without liability.

     Section 9.4 Provisions. The provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to the benefit of
Landlord, any future owner of the Building or the Real Property, Lessor or Mortgagee and any
sublessor thereof.

ARTICLE 10

     Section 10.1 Electricity. Subject to any Requirements or any public utility rules or
regulations governing energy consumption, Landlord shall make or cause to be made, customary
arrangements with utility companies and/or public service companies to furnish electric current to
the Premises for Tenant’s use. If Landlord reasonably determines by the use of an electrical
consumption survey or by other reasonable means that Tenant is using electric current (including
overhead fluorescent fixtures) in excess of .60 kilowatt hours per square foot of usable area in
the Premises per month, as determined on an annualized basis (“Excess Electrical Usage”), then
Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable estimate of
Tenant’s Excess Electrical Usage, and shall have the further right to install an electric current
meter, sub-meter or check meter for the NOC Facilities, the Rooftop HVAC Units and/or the Premises
(a “Meter”) to measure the amount of electric current consumed in or by the NOC Facilities, the
Rooftop HVAC Units and/or the Premises, provided Landlord gives Tenant evidence of such Excess
Electrical Usage and Tenant has the right to verify the same for at least 30 days prior to the
installation of such Meter. The cost of such Meter special conduits, wiring and panels needed in
connection therewith and the installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Tenant.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, from time to time, but no more frequently than monthly, for its
Excess Electrical Usage at the Premises, plus Landlord’s charge equal to 10% of Tenant’s Excess
Electrical Usage for Landlord’s costs of maintaining, repairing and reading such Meter. The rate to
be paid by Tenant for submetered electricity shall include any taxes or other charges in connection
therewith.

     In addition, upon 30 days prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the
right to install a Meter for the NOC Facilities, the Rooftop HVAC Units and/or the Premises, in
which event the cost of such Meter, special conduits, wiring and panels needed in connection
therewith and the installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Tenant. If Tenant
installs any such Meter for the NOC Facilities, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, from time to time,
but no more frequently than monthly, for its Excess Electrical Usage at or by the NOC Facilities,
the Rooftop HVAC Units and/or the Premises, plus Landlord’s charge equal to 10% of Tenant’s

Excess Electrical Usage for Landlord’s costs of maintaining, repairing and reading such Meter.
The rate to be paid by Tenant for submetered electricity shall include any taxes or other charges
in connection therewith.

     Section 10.2 Excess Electricity. Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and
regulations of the utility company supplying electricity to the Building. Tenant shall not use any
electrical equipment which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would exceed the capacity of the
electrical equipment serving the Premises. If Landlord determines that Tenant’s electrical
requirements necessitate installation of any additional risers, feeders or other electrical
distribution equipment (collectively, “Electrical Equipment”)) or if Tenant provides Landlord with
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s need for excess electricity and requests
that additional Electrical Equipment be installed, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, install
such additional Electrical Equipment, provided that Landlord, in its sole judgment, determines that
(a) such installation is practicable and necessary, (b) such additional Electrical Equipment is
permissible under applicable Requirements, and (c) the installation of such Electrical Equipment
will not cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or create a hazardous
condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, interfere with or limit electrical usage
by other tenants or occupants of the Building or exceed the limits of the switchgear or other
facilities serving the Building, or require power in excess of that available from the utility
company serving the Building.

     Section 10.3 Elevators. Landlord shall provide elevator service to the Premises 24 hours
per day, 7 days per week, subject to the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit
E.

Premises heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) in accordance with the Exhibit
K-Design Standards during Ordinary Business Hours. Landlord shall have access to all
air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets and all other mechanical
installations of Landlord (collectively, “Mechanical Installations”), and Tenant shall not
construct partitions or other obstructions which may interfere with Landlord’s access thereto or
the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the Mechanical Installations. No Tenant Party shall
at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper with, adjust, or otherwise affect such
Mechanical Installations. Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to provide
cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises in accordance with the Design Standards
by reason of (i) any equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an electrical
load in excess of the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for the HVAC System as
designed, or (ii) any rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by, for
or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by the rules and
regulations which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of
the HVAC System.

     To the extent arising from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
Landlord shall indemnify Tenant for the failure of the Building’s HVAC system to comply with all
applicable air-quality Requirements. Landlord shall monitor the indoor air quality at least once
per Lease Year and provide copies of the annual test results to Tenant. Landlord represents to
Tenant that the Building is a non-smoking building (for all tenants, guests and invitees) other

- 25 -

 

Landlord’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
If Landlord approves Tenant’s cleaning service provider (i) Landlord shall thereafter have no
obligation to provide cleaning services to the Premises, (ii) Operating Expenses shall thereafter
exclude the cost of providing cleaning services to the Premises and all other tenanted areas of
the Building, and (iii) Landlord shall reduce Base Operating Expenses by an amount Landlord
reasonably determines reflects the cost of providing cleaning services to the Premises and all
other tenanted areas of the Building during the Base Year.

the refuse generated by Tenant exceeds the refuse customarily generated by general office
tenants. Tenant shall not dispose of any refuse in the Common Areas, and if Tenant does so,
Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s reasonable charge for such removal.

     Section 10.9 Directory. Landlord shall list Tenant on the Building directory located in the
first floor lobby without additional charge to Tenant. The Building directory will be shared with
other Building tenants and space on the directory shall be equitably apportioned among tenants.
Reference is hereby made to the provisions of Exhibit H – Signage concerning other
signage rights.

     Section 10.10 Tenant Access to Premises. Tenant shall have access to the Premises 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. Outside of Ordinary Business Hours, Building and floor access will be
monitored by an electronic key security and access system installed and maintained by Landlord.

Any provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
90 electronic access cards for the Premises and Building at no cost to Tenant

     Section 10.11 Service Interruptions. Landlord reserves the right to suspend any service when
necessary, by reason of Unavoidable Delays, accidents or emergencies, or for Restorative Work
which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are necessary or appropriate until such Unavoidable
Delay, accident or emergency shall cease or such Restorative Work is completed and Landlord shall
not be liable for any interruption, curtailment or failure to supply services. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises as a
result of any such failure, defect or interruption of any such service, or change in the supply,
character and/or quantity of, electrical service, and to restore any such services, remedy such
situation and minimize any interference with Tenant’s business. The exercise of any such right or
the occurrence of any such failure by Landlord shall not constitute an actual or constructive
eviction, in whole or in part, entitle Tenant to any compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent,
relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord
or any Indemnified Party by reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of Tenant’s
business, or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure, defect
or interruption of, or change in the supply, character and/or

- 26 -

 

quantity of electrical service furnished to the Premises for any reason except if
attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

     Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any failure or stoppage of
Landlord’s services, including the Emergency Power System, (i) renders any portion of the Premises
untenantable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business at the Premises and Tenant does not in
fact use or occupy such portion of the Premises; (ii) was not caused by Tenant, its employees,
invitees or agents; and (iii) extends for a period longer than 3 consecutive days, the Rent payable
hereunder shall be abated beginning on the 1st day of such interruption and continue for
so long as the Premises or any portion thereof is untenantable and vacant. In the event of a
casualty or Taking (hereinafter defined), the applicable provisions of this Lease shall prevail
over the rent abatement provisions of this Section.

INSURANCE; PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE

     Section 11.1 Tenant’s Insurance.

          (a) Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and keep in full force and effect during
the Term:

               (i) a policy of commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence basis against claims
for personal injury, bodily injury, death and/or property damage occurring in or about the
Building, under which Tenant is named as the insured and Landlord, Landlord’s Agent and any
Lessors and any Mortgagees whose names have been furnished to Tenant are named as additional
insureds (the “Insured Parties”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without
contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of the Insured Parties, and
Tenant shall obtain blanket broad-form contractual liability coverage to insure its indemnity
obligations set forth in Article 25. The minimum limits of liability shall be a combined single
limit with respect to each occurrence in an amount of not less than $5,000,000; provided,
however, that Landlord shall retain the right to require Tenant to increase such coverage from
time to time to that amount of insurance that is then being customarily required by landlords for
similar office space in Comparable Buildings. The deductible or self insured retention for such
policy shall not exceed $50,000;

               (ii) insurance against loss or damage by fire, and such other risks and hazards as
are insurable under then available standard forms of “Special Form Causes of Loss” or “All Risk”
property insurance policies, insuring Tenant’s Property and all Alterations and improvements to
the Premises (including the initial installations) to the extent such Alterations and
improvements exceed the cost of the improvements typically performed in connection with the
initial occupancy of tenants in the Building (“Building Standard Installations”), for the full

- 28 -

 

insurable value thereof or replacement cost thereof, having a deductible amount, if any,
not in excess of $25,000;

               (iii) during the performance of any Alteration, until completion thereof, Builder’s Risk
insurance on an “all risk” basis and on a completed value form including a Permission to Complete
and Occupy endorsement, for full replacement value covering the interest of Landlord and Tenant
(and their respective contractors and subcontractors) in all work incorporated in the Building and
all materials and equipment in or about the Premises;

               (iv) Workers’ Compensation Insurance, as required by law; and

               (v) Business Interruption Insurance; and

               (vi) such other insurance in such amounts as the Insured Parties may reasonably require from
time to time in the exercise of Landlord’s prudent business judgment, if other landlords are
requiring the same for Comparable Buildings.

          (b) All insurance required to be carried by Tenant (i) shall contain a provision that (x) no
unintentional act or omission of Tenant shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance
company to pay the amount of any loss sustained, and (y) shall be noncancellable and/or no material
change in coverage shall be made thereto unless the Insured Parties receive 30 days’ prior notice
of the same (except in the case of non-payment of premiums, in which case only 10 days’ prior
notice shall be required), by certified mail, return receipt requested, and (ii) shall be effected
under valid and enforceable policies issued by reputable insurers permitted to do business in the
Commonwealth of Virginia and rated in Best’s Insurance Guide, or any successor thereto as having a
“Best’s Rating” of “A-” or better and a “Financial Size Category” of at least “X” or better or, if
such ratings are not then in effect, the equivalent thereof or such other financial rating as
Landlord may at any time consider appropriate.

          (c) On or prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord appropriate
policies of insurance, including evidence of waivers of subrogation required to be carried pursuant
to this Article 11 and that the Insured Parties are named as additional insureds (the “Policies”).
Evidence of each renewal or replacement of the Policies shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord at
least 10 days prior to the expiration of the Policies. In lieu of the Policies, Tenant may deliver
to Landlord a certification from Tenant’s insurance company (on the form currently designated
“Acord 27” (Evidence of Property Insurance) and “Acord 25-S” (Certificate of Liability Insurance),
or the equivalent, provided that attached thereto is an endorsement to Tenant’s commercial general
liability policy naming the Insured Parties as additional insureds) which shall be binding on
Tenant’s insurance company, and which shall expressly provide that such certification (i) conveys
to the Insured Parties all the rights and privileges afforded under the Policies as primary
insurance, and (ii) contains an unconditional obligation of the insurance company to advise all
Insured Parties in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, at least 30 days in advance
of any termination or change to the Policies that would affect the interest of any of the Insured
Parties.

- 29 -

 

     Section 11.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each procure an appropriate
clause in or endorsement to any property insurance covering the Real Property and personal
property, fixtures and equipment located therein, wherein the insurer waives subrogation or
consents to a waiver of right of recovery, and Landlord and Tenant agree not to make any claim
against, or seek to recover from, the other for any loss or damage to its property or the property
of others resulting from fire or other hazards to the extent covered by such property insurance;
provided, however, that the release, discharge, exoneration and covenant not to sue contained
herein shall be limited by and be coextensive with the terms and provisions of the waiver of
subrogation or waiver of right of recovery. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry
insurance on, and shall not be responsible for, (i) damage to any Above Building Standard
Installations, (ii) Tenant’s Property, and (iii) any loss suffered by Tenant due to interruption of
Tenant’s business.

     Section 11.3 Restoration.

          (a) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, or if the Building is damaged such
that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises, the damage shall be repaired by
Landlord, to substantially the condition of the Premises prior to the damage, subject to the
provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, but Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or
restore (i) Tenants Property or (ii) except as provided in Section 11.3(b), any Alterations or
improvements to the Premises, to the extent such Alterations or improvements exceed Building
Standard Installations (“Above Building Standard Installations”). So long as no Event of Default
exists and is continuing, and provided Tenant timely delivers to Landlord either Tenant’s
Restoration Payment (as hereinafter defined) or the Restoration Security (as hereinafter defined)
or Tenant expressly waives any obligation of Landlord to repair or restore any of Tenant’s Above
Building Standard Installations, then until the restoration of the Premises is Substantially
Completed or would have been Substantially Completed but for Tenant Delay, Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax
Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall be reduced in the proportion by which the area of the
part of the Premises which is not usable (or accessible ) and is not used by Tenant bears to the
total area of the Premises.

          (b) As a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to repair or restore any Above Building
Standard Installations, Tenant shall (i) pay to Landlord upon demand a sum (“Tenant’s Restoration
Payment”) equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) the cost, as estimated by a reputable
independent contractor designated by Landlord, of repairing and restoring all Alterations and
Tenant Improvements in the Premises to their condition prior to the damage, exceeds (B) the cost of
restoring the Premises with Building Standard Installations, or (ii) furnish to Landlord security
(the “Restoration Security”) in form and amount reasonably acceptable to Landlord to secure
Tenant’s obligation to pay all costs in excess of restoring the Premises with Building Standard
Installations. If Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord either (1) Tenant’s Restoration Payment
or the Restoration Security, as applicable, or (2) a waiver by Tenant, in form satisfactory to
Landlord, of all of Landlord’s obligations to repair or restore any of the Above Building Standard
Installations, in either case within 15 days after Landlord’s demand therefor, Landlord shall have
no obligation to restore any Above Building Standard Installations and Tenant’s abatement of Fixed
Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s

- 30 -

 

Operating Payment shall cease when the restoration of the Premises (other than any Above
Building Standard Installations) is Substantially Complete.

     Section 11.4 Landlord’s Termination Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 11.3, if the Premises are totally damaged or are rendered wholly untenantable, or if the
Building shall be so damaged that, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, substantial alteration,
demolition, or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises are so
damaged or rendered untenantable), then in either of such events, Landlord may, not later than 60
days following the date of the damage, terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, provided that if
the Premises are not damaged, Landlord may not terminate this Lease unless Landlord similarly
terminates the leases of other tenants in the Building aggregating at least 50% of the portion of
the Building occupied for office purposes immediately prior to such damage. If this Lease is so
terminated, (a) the Term shall expire upon the 30th day after such notice is given, (b) Tenant shall
vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, (c) Tenant’s liability for Rent shall cease
as of the date of the damage, and (d) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the damage
shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.

     Section 11.5 Tenant’s Termination Right. If the Premises are totally damaged and are thereby
rendered wholly untenantable, or if the Building shall be so damaged that Tenant is deprived of
reasonable access to the Premises, and if Landlord elects to restore the Premises, Landlord shall,
within 60 days following the date of the damage, cause a contractor or architect selected by
Landlord to give notice (the “Restoration Notice”) to Tenant of the date by which such contractor
or architect estimates the restoration of the Premises (excluding any Above Building Standard
Installations) shall be Substantially Completed. If such date, as set forth in the Restoration
Notice, is more than 12 months from the date of such damage, or if Landlord does not Substantially
Complete Landlord’s restoration obligations with respect to the Premises within 12 months (subject
to Unavoidable Delay), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice
(the “Termination Notice”) to Landlord not later than 30 days following delivery of the
Restoration Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers a Termination Notice, this Lease shall be deemed
to have terminated as of the date of the giving of the Termination Notice, in the manner set forth
in the second sentence of Section 11.4.

     Section 11.6 Final 18 Months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11,
if any damage during the final 18 months of the Term renders the Premises wholly untenantable,
either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to the other parry within 30 days
after the occurrence of such damage and this Lease shall expire on
the 30th day after the date of
such notice. For purposes of this Section 11.6, the Premises shall be deemed wholly untenantable
if Tenant shall be precluded from using more than 50% of the Premises for the conduct of its
business and Tenant’s inability to so use the Premises is reasonably expected to continue for
more than 90 days. If either Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 11.6, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the effective date of
the terminating party’s notice.

     Section 11.7 Landlord’s Liability. Any Building employee to whom any property shall
be entrusted by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be acting as Tenant’s agent with
respect to such property and neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any damage to

- 31 -

 

such property, or for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease to the contrary, none of the Insured Parties
shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property or interruption of Tenant’s
business resulting from fire or other casualty, any damage caused by other tenants or persons in
the Building or the parking facilities or by construction of any private, public or quasi-public
work, or any latent defect in the Premises, the Building or the parking facilities (except that
Landlord shall be required to repair the same to the extent provided in Article 6). No penalty
shall accrue for delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of fire insurance on the part of
Landlord or Tenant, or for any Unavoidable Delays arising from any repair or restoration of any
portion of the Building, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable and diligent efforts to
minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises during the performance of any
such repair or restoration.

     Section 11.8 Landlord’s Insurance. Beginning on the Lease Commencement Date and at all times
thereafter during the Term of this Lease, the Landlord shall maintain at least the following
insurance:

               (i) standard all-risk fire and casualty insurance, covering the Building in amounts at least
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the Building (exclusive of any
above-Building Standard Installations and any Specialty Alterations) at the time in question, but
in no event less than such coverage as is required to avoid coinsurance provisions;

               (ii) comprehensive public liability insurance with minimum limits of $2,000,000 for injury to
or death of one or more persons in any one occurrence and third-party property damage, and
$5,000,000 for third-party property damage (all such coverage may be through primary and/or excess
umbrella policies);

               (iii) employer’s liability insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 for bodily injury;

               (iv) workmen’s compensation insurance in statutory limits; and

               (v) such other insurance coverage as is customarily carried in respect of Comparable
Buildings.

          At the Tenant’s request the Landlord shall furnish the Tenant a certificate or
certificates of insurance certifying that the insurance coverage required hereby is in force. Any
insurance required by the terms of this Lease to be carried by the Landlord may be under a
blanket policy (or policies) covering other properties of the Landlord and/or its related or
affiliated corporations. If such insurance is maintained under a blanket policy, the Landlord
shall procure and deliver to the Tenant a statement from the insurer or general agent of the
insurer setting forth the coverage maintained and the amounts thereof allocated to the risks
intended to be insured hereunder.

ARTICLE 12

EMINENT DOMAIN

     Section 12.1 Taking.

          (a)
Total Taking. If all or substantially all of the Real Property, the Building or the
Premises shall be acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public purpose (a “Taking”), this
Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title and Rent shall
be prorated and adjusted as of such date.

          (b) Partial Taking. Upon a Taking of only a part of the Real Property, the Building or the
Premises then, except as hereinafter provided in this Article 12, this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, provided that from and after the date of the vesting of title, Fixed Rent and
Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be modified to reflect the reduction of the Premises and/or the
Building as a result of such Taking.

          (c) Landlord’s Termination Right. Whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord may, by
notice to Tenant, within 60 days following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of the
Taking of all or a portion of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises, terminate this
Lease, provided that Landlord elects to terminate leases (including this Lease) affecting at least
100% of the rentable area of the office space in the Building.

          (d) Tenant’s Termination Right. If the part of the Real Property so Taken contains more than
20% of the total area of the Premises leased by Tenant immediately prior to such Taking, or if, by
reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises or any
material Building amenities or services are materially impaired, Tenant may terminate this Lease by
notice to Landlord given within 30 days following the date upon which Tenant is given notice of
such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall end and expire upon the
30th day following the giving of such notice as if such day were the original Expiration
Date under this Lease. If a part of the Premises shall be so Taken and this Lease is not terminated
in accordance with this Section 12.1 Landlord, without being required to spend more than it
collects as an award, shall, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, restore
that part of the Premises not so Taken to a self-contained rental unit substantially equivalent
(with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately
prior to such Taking, excluding Tenant’s Property and Above Building Standard Installations.

          (e) Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 12, Rent shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and
including, the date of such termination.

     Section 12.2 Awards. Upon any Taking, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any
such Taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the
value of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenant’s Alterations. Nothing contained in this
Article 12 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation
proceedings for the then value of any Tenant’s Property or Above Building

- 33 -

 

Standard Installations included in such Taking and for any moving expenses, provided any
such award is in addition to, and does not result in a reduction of, the award made to Landlord.

     Section 12.3 Temporary Taking. If all or any part of the Premises is Taken for a period of 30
days or less for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to
Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay
all Rent payable by Tenant without reduction or abatement and to perform all of its other
obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning
authority, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning
authority for such use, which shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for
payment of the Rent falling due.

ARTICLE 13

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     Section 13.1 Consent Requirements.

          (a) Assignment or Subletting. Except as expressly set forth in Section 13.3(a), Tenant
shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, and shall not sublet, or permit, or suffer the Premises or any part
thereof to be used or occupied by others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise)
(any such action being a “Transfer”), without Landlord’s prior consent in each instance.. Reference
is hereby made to Section 13.3 concerning conditions to assignments and sublets and
Section 13.7(a) concerning certain permitted transfers. Any assignment, sublease, mortgage,
pledge, encumbrance or transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article 13 shall be void
and shall constitute an Event of Default.

          (b) Collection of Rent. If, without Landlord’s consent (where such consent is required), this
Lease is assigned, or any part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or
this Lease is encumbered (by operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may collect rent from the
assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No
such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article 13, an acceptance of the
assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s
covenants hereunder, and in all cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under
this Lease.

          (c) Further Assignment/Subletting. Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall
not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to any further assignment or
subletting as required under this Lease. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or
encumber its sublease or further sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or
permit any portion of the sublet space to be used or occupied by others.

     Section 13.2 Tenant’s Notice. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any
portion of the Premises, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which shall be accompanied
by (a) with respect to an assignment of this Lease, the date Tenant desires the assignment to be
effective, and (b) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, a description of
the portion of the Premises to be sublet and the commencement date of such

- 34 -

 

sublet. Such notice shall be deemed an irrevocable offer from Tenant to Landlord of the
right, at Landlord’s option, (1) to terminate this Lease if the proposed transaction is an
assignment of this Lease, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, or (2) if the proposed
transaction is a subletting of 50% or more of the rentable square footage of the Premises (but
excluding space subleased to Related Entities and/or under Permitted Subleases), in the aggregate
with all other portions of the Premises then subleased (but excluding space subleased to Related
Entities and/or under Permitted Subleases) and expiring during the last 12 months of the Term
(without regard to any then unexercised extension rights under the Lease, but considering all
extension options granted under the proposed sublease), to terminate this Lease with respect to
such space as Tenant proposes to sublease (the “Partial Space”). Such option may be exercised by
notice from Landlord to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of Tenant’s notice. If Landlord
exercises its option to terminate all or a portion of this Lease, (a) this Lease shall end and
expire with respect to all or a portion of the Premises, as the case may be, on the date that such
assignment or sublease was to commence, (b) Rent shall be apportioned, paid or refunded as of such
date, (c) Tenant, upon Landlord’s request, shall enter into an amendment of this Lease ratifying
and confirming such total or partial termination, and setting forth any appropriate modifications
to the terms and provisions hereof, and (d) Landlord shall be free to lease the Premises (or any
part thereof) to Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant. Tenant shall pay all costs to make the
Partial Space a self-contained rental unit and to install any required Building corridors. Any
provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of this Section 13.2 shall not
apply to any sublease or assignment to a Related Entity or to any sublease to a Permitted Subtenant
(hereinafter defined) pursuant to Section 13.7(a).

     Section 13.3 Conditions to Assignment/Subletting.

          (a) If
Landlord does not exercise its termination option provided under Section 13.2,
and provided no monetary Event of Default then exists, Landlord’s consent to the proposed
assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such consent
shall be granted or denied within 20 days after delivery to Landlord of (i) a true and complete
statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant (“Transferee”),
the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, (ii) current financial
information with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial statements, and
(iii) any other information Landlord may promptly and reasonably request, provided that:

               (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the Transferee is engaged in a business or activity,
and the Premises will be used in a manner, which (1) is for the Permitted Uses, and (2) does not
violate any restrictions set forth in this Lease, any Mortgage or Superior Lease;

               (ii) the Transferee has sufficient financial means to perform all of its obligations under
this Lease or the sublease, as the case may be;

               (iii) [Intentionally Omitted];

- 35 -

 

               (iv) the Transferee is not a person or entity (or affiliate of a person or entity) with
whom Landlord is then or has been within the prior 30 days negotiating in connection with the
rental of space in the Building;

               (v) [Intentionally Omitted];

               (vi) Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable third-party
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment or sublease,
including any investigations as to the acceptability of the Transferee and all reasonable legal
costs (not to exceed $1,000) reasonably incurred in connection with the granting of any requested
consent; and

               (vii) the Transferee shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or
sovereign immunity, regardless of whether the Transferee agrees to waive such diplomatic or
sovereign immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the
courts of, the County of Fairfax and Commonwealth of Virginia.

          (b) With respect to each and every subletting and/or assignment approved by
Landlord under the provisions of this Lease (for which Landlord’s approval is required):

               (i) the form of the proposed assignment or sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord;

               (ii) no sublease shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the Expiration Date;

               (iii) no Transferee shall take possession of any part of the Premises, until an executed
counterpart of such sublease or assignment has been delivered to Landlord and approved by Landlord
as provided in Section 13.3; and

               (iv) each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters
to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate; and Tenant and each Transferee shall be deemed to
have agreed mat upon the occurrence and during me continuation of an Event of Default hereunder,
Tenant has hereby assigned to Landlord, and Landlord may, at its option, accept such assignment of,
all right, title and interest of Tenant as sublandlord under such sublease, together with all
modifications, extensions and renewals thereof then in effect and such Transferee shall, at
Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease,
except that Landlord shall not be (A) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such
sublease, (B) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense not expressly provided in such
sublease, which theretofore accrued to such Transferee against Tenant, (C) bound by any previous
modification of such sublease not consented to by Landlord or by any prepayment of more than one
month’s rent, (D) bound to return such Transferee’s security deposit, if any, except to the extent
Landlord shall receive actual possession of such deposit and such Transferee shall be entitled to
the return of all or any portion of such deposit under the terms of its sublease, or (E) obligated
to make any payment to or on behalf of such Transferee, or to perform any work in the subleased
space or the Building, or in any way to prepare the subleased space for occupancy, beyond
Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. The

- 36 -

 

provisions of this Section 13.3(b)(v) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument
shall be required to give effect to this provision, provided that the Transferee shall execute and
deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such
subordination and attornment.

          (c) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) a true and complete statement reasonably
detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant (“Transferee”), (ii) the nature of the
Transferee’s business and its proposed use of the Premises, (iii) current financial information
with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial statements, and (iv) any other
information Landlord may reasonably request.

          If, within 10 days after delivery to Landlord of the items and information required by
Section 13.3(a) and this Section 13.3(c), Tenant has not received Landlord’s written consent or
denial of consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall have the right to
thereafter send Landlord a second written request for approval of the proposed assignment or
sublease, which request must state “SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST-LANDLORD HAS 10 DAYS TO RESPOND” at
the top of the first page of the request (the “Second Request”). If Landlord does not give Tenant
written notice of Landlord’s consent or denial of consent of the proposed assignment or sublease
within 10 days after receipt of the Second Request, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to
Tenant entering the proposed assignment or sublease, but Landlord shall not be estopped by or
deemed to have approved any specific terms of the assignment or sublease (such as, for example, if
the assignment document were to release Tenant from any further liability under this Lease or if
the sublease provides for a sublease term extending beyond the term of this Lease). All notices
given to Landlord under this Section and elsewhere in this Lease must be given in accordance with
the requirements set forth in Article 23.

          (d) Provided Landlord does not exercise its termination option under Section 13.2 and Tenant
does not consummate the proposed assignment or sublease upon the terms set forth in the bona fide
term sheet or letter of intent within 180 days after Landlord elects not to exercise such
termination, Landlord’s termination rights shall be reinstated under Section 13.2 and Tenant shall
again comply with the notice and other procedures set forth in Section 13.2.

     Section 13.4 Binding on Tenant; Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding any assignment
or subletting or any acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee, Tenant shall remain
fully liable for the payment of all Rent due and for the performance of all the covenants, terms
and conditions contained in this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, and any
Event of Default under this Lease by any Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any
Transferee shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall
indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all Losses
resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the Transferee or anyone claiming
under or through any Transferee or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or
similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease, irrespective of
whether Landlord shall give or decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or
sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise any of its options under this Article 13.

- 37 -

 

     Section 13.5 Tenant’s Failure to Complete. If Landlord consents to a proposed
assignment or sublease (where such consent is required) and Tenant fails to execute and deliver
to Landlord such assignment or sublease within 90 days after the giving of such consent, then
Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Section 13.2 before
assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.

     Section 13.6 Profits. Except with respect to those assignments and sublets which may be
consummated without Landlord’s consent pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.7(a), if Tenant
enters into any assignment or sublease permitted hereunder or consented to by Landlord, Tenant
shall, within 60 days of Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease, deliver to Landlord a
list of Tenant’s reasonable third-party brokerage fees, reasonable tenant concessions, legal fees,
advertising costs, construction costs and architectural fees paid or to be paid in connection with
such transaction and any actual costs incurred by Tenant in separately demising the subleased space
(collectively, “Transaction Costs”), together with a list of all of Tenant’s Property to be
transferred to such Transferee. The Transaction Costs shall be amortized, on a straight-line basis,
over the term of any sublease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of the payment of such
Transaction Costs promptly after the same are paid. In consideration of such assignment or
subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:

          (a) In the case of an assignment, on the effective date of the assignment, 50% of all sums and
other consideration paid to Tenant by the Transferee for or by reason of such assignment (including
sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less, the then fair market or rental value
thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting the Transaction Costs; or

          (b) In the case of a sublease, 50% of any consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant
by the Transferee which exceeds on a per square foot basis the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent
accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (together with any sums
paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less, the then fair market or rental value
thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting the monthly amortized amount
of Transaction Costs. The sums payable under this clause shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
monthly as and when paid by the subtenant to Tenant.

     Section 13.7 Transfers.

          (a) Related Entities. If Tenant or Tenant’s parent company is a legal entity, the transfer
(by one or more transfers) of a majority of the stock or other beneficial ownership interest in
Tenant (collectively “Ownership Interests”) shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease;
provided, however, that the provisions of this Article 13 shall not apply to the transfer of
Ownership Interests in Tenant if and so long as Tenant (or, if applicable, Tenant’s parent
company) is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange. For purposes of this
Section 13.7 the term “transfers” shall be deemed to include the issuance of new Ownership
Interests which results in a change of control of Tenant.

     The provisions of Section 13.1 shall not apply to transactions with a business entity into
or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets
are transferred so long as (i) such transfer was made for a legitimate independent business

- 38 -

 

purpose and not for the purpose of transferring this Lease, (ii) the successor to Tenant has
a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to
the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, and (iii)
proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth is delivered to Landlord at least 10 days prior to
the effective date of any such transaction. Tenant may also, upon prior notice to Landlord and
Mortgagee (but without Landlord’s consent), assign this lease to any business entity which
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the original Tenant (a “Related
Entity”) or permit a Related Entity to sublet all or part of the Premises for any Permitted Use for
so long as such entity remains a Related Entity. Such sublease shall not be deemed to vest in any
such Related Entity any right or interest in this Lease. No sublease or assignment shall relieve,
release, impair or discharge any of the obligations of the initial tenant herein named. For the
purposes hereof, “control” shall be deemed to mean ownership of not less than 20% of all of the
Ownership Interests of such corporation or other business entity.

     Any provision of this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord’s consent, recapture
and profit sharing rights shall not apply to one or more subleases of the Premises to Permitted
Subtenants (hereinafter defined) which, in the aggregate, do not exceed, in the aggregate, 10,000
square feet of the rentable area of the Premises (“Permitted Subleases”). “Permitted Subtenants”
means Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors or vendors provided that such Permitted Subtenants are
using such space for legitimate business purposes and not for the purpose of circumventing the
Landlord consent provisions of Article 13. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section,
the provisions of Article 13 shall apply to subleases to Permitted Subtenants. The space sublet to
any Permitted Subtenants shall not be separately demised or have separate entrances.

          (b) Applicability. The limitations set forth in this Section 13.7 shall apply to
Transferee(s) and guarantor(s) of this Lease, if any, and any transfer by any such entity in
violation of this Section 13.7 shall be a transfer in violation of Section 13.1.

          (c) Modifications, Takeover Agreements. Any modification, amendment or extension of a
sublease and/or any other agreement by which a landlord of a building other than the Building
agrees to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed a sublease for the
purposes of Section 13.1 hereof.

     Section 13.8 Assumption of Obligations. No assignment or transfer shall be effective unless
and until the Transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee (a) assumes Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease and (b) agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer,
the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof shall be binding upon it in respect of all future
assignments and transfers.

     Section 13.9 Tenant’s Liability. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any
successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease
shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord,
or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the

- 39 -

 

terms and provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or
assignee of Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease.

     Section 13.10 Listings in Building Directory. The listing of any name other than that of
Tenant on the doors of the Premises, the Building directory or elsewhere shall not vest any right
or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to
any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or
occupancy thereof by others. Any such listing shall constitute a privilege revocable in Landlord’s
reasonable discretion by notice to Tenant, but only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

     Section 13.11 Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time after an assignment by Tenant
named herein, this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any similar
proceeding, or upon a termination of this Lease due to any such proceeding, Tenant named herein,
upon request of Landlord given after such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual
notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of
termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges
due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such
disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as “tenant,” enter into a new lease of the
Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection
or termination and ending on the Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory
terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of Tenant named
herein under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights
of the assignee under this
Lease and the possessory rights of any persons claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue
of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults
existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with due diligence, and (iii) such new
lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so
disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the
provisions of this Lease after
the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto.
If Tenant named herein defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of 10
days after Landlord’s request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of
default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against
Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been
terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant’s default thereunder.

     Section 13.12 Lender Consent. If Landlord’s consent is required for any Transfer, Tenant
shall also obtain Mortgagee’s written consent to such Transfer. Tenant shall send notices to
Mortgagee as and when Tenant is required to send notices to Landlord under this Article.
Mortgagee shall have the same amount of time to respond to notices given to Mortgagee under this
Article as Landlord is entitled to under this Article, with such time period commencing upon
Mortgagee’s receipt of any such notices from Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee’s
consent shall not be required in connection with the assignment of this Lease to a Related Entity
or in connection with space subleased to Related Entities or to Permitted Subtenants.

ARTICLE 14

ACCESS TO PREMISES

     Section 14.1 Landlord’s Access.

          (a) Landlord, Landlord’s agents and utility service providers servicing the Building
may erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes and conduits in and through the Premises
provided such use does not cause the usable area of the Premises to be reduced beyond a de minimis
amount. Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by any work performed
pursuant to this Article 14. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in case of an emergency,
Landlord shall provide notice of not less than 72 hours prior to entering the Premises for any such
activities. Landlord shall comply with Tenant’s reasonable security procedures when in the
Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Commencement Date Landlord shall not erect or
install wiring, ducts, pipes or conduits in the Premises (except to the extent the same replace any
wiring, ducts, pipes or conduits which exist in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date).

          (b) Landlord, any Lessor or Mortgagee and any other party designated by Landlord and their
respective agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon
reasonable notice (which notice may be oral) except in the case of emergency, to examine the
Premises, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees, Lessors or tenants and their
respective agents and representatives or others and to perform Restorative Work to the Premises or
the Building.

          (c) All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and
doors bounding the Premises, all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent to the Premises, all space
in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, mail chutes, conduits and other
mechanical facilities, Building Systems; Building faculties and Common Areas are not part of the
Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the
purposes of Building operation, maintenance, alteration and repair. In the performance of any such
work, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid disruption of Tenant’s use and
occupancy of the Premises. If, in exercising its rights under this Article, Landlord interferes
with Tenant’s ability to operate Tenant’s business in the Premises and Tenant ceases to operate
Tenant’s business in the Premises as a result thereof, then Tenant should be entitled to an
abatement of Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Operating Payment and Tenant’s Tax Payment until Tenant can once
again operate Tenant’s business in the Premises. Except in the case of an emergency, Landlord shall
not have access to the NOC Facilities without Tenant’s prior written consent, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld, and without an escort designated by Tenant. To the extent that Landlord
incurs any expense arising from the requirement that Landlord must be accompanied by a
Tenant-designated escort (such as the Tenant-designated escort not being available at a
pre-arranged time), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such expense within 30 days after Tenant’s
receipt of an invoice therefor.

     Section 14.2 Building Name. Landlord has the right at any time to change the name,
number or designation by which the Building is commonly known. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of any name change. If Landlord changes the

- 41 -

 

name, number or designation by which the Building is commonly known, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s third-party out-of-pocket expenses (not to exceed $2,500) incurred
in replacing Tenant’s then existing stationery, business card stocks and marketing materials.

ARTICLE 15

DEFAULT

     Section 15.1 Tenant’s Defaults. Each of the following events shall be an “Event of
Default” hereunder:

          (a) Tenant fails to pay when due any installment of Rent and such default shall
continue for 5 Business Days after written notice of such default is
given to Tenant except that if
Landlord shall have given two such notices of default in the payment of any Rent in any 12-month
period, Tenant shall not be entitled to any further notice of its delinquency in the payment of any
Rent or an extended period in which to make payment until such time as 12 consecutive months shall
have elapsed without Tenant having failed to make any such payment when due, and the occurrence of
any default in the payment of any Rent within such 12-month period after the giving of 2 such
notices shall constitute an Event of Default; or

          (b) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and
such failure continues for more than 30 days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or
if such default is of a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within 30 days, failure by
Tenant to commence to remedy such failure within said 30 days, and thereafter diligently prosecute
to completion all steps necessary to remedy such default, provided in all events the same is
completed within 90 days; or

          (c) if Landlord applies or retains any part of the Security Deposit, and Tenant fails to
deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained by Landlord, or to provide Landlord with a
replacement Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined), if applicable, within 10 Business Days after
notice by Landlord to Tenant stating the amount applied or retained; or

     Upon the occurrence of any one or more of such Events of Default, Landlord may, at its sole
option, give to Tenant notice of cancellation of this Lease (or of Tenant’s possession of the
Premises), in which event this Lease and the Term (or Tenant’s possession of the Premises) shall
terminate (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) with the same force and effect as if the
date set forth in the notice was the Expiration Date stated herein; and Tenant shall then quit
and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in
this Article 15. Any notice of cancellation of the Term (or Tenant’s possession of the Premises)
may be given simultaneously with any notice of default given to Tenant; provided the same shall
not limit Tenant’s cure rights under this Lease.

     Section 15.2 Landlord’s Remedies.

          (a) Possession/Reletting. If this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to
possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in
Section 15.1:

- 42 -

 

               (i) Surrender of Possession. Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord,
and Landlord and its agents may immediately, or at any time after such termination, re-enter the
Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other
applicable action or proceeding, or by force (to the extent permitted by law) or otherwise in
accordance with applicable legal proceedings (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or
damages therefor), and may repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons from
the Premises and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises.

               (ii) Landlord’s Reletting. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet all or any part of the
Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or
tenants, for any term ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental and upon such
other conditions (which may include concessions and free rent periods) as Landlord, in its sole
but reasonable discretion, may determine. Landlord shall have no obligation to accept any tenant
offered by Tenant and shall not be liable for failure to relet or, in the event of any such
reletting, for failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting; and no such failure shall
relieve Tenant of, or otherwise affect, any liability under mis Lease. However, to the extent
required by law, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages but shall not be
required to divert prospective tenants from any other portions of the Building. Landlord, at
Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, decorations and other physical changes in and to the
Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with
such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease
or otherwise affecting any such liability.

          (b) Tenant’s Waiver. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming through
or under Tenant, including all creditors, hereby waives all rights which Tenant and all such
persons might otherwise have under any Requirement (i) to redeem, or to re-enter or repossess the
Premises, or (ii) to restore the operation of this Lease, after (A) Tenant shall have been
dispossessed by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, or (B) any expiration or early
termination of the term of this Lease, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination
shall be by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The words “re-enter,”
“re-entry” and “re-entered” as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their
technical legal meanings.

          (c) Tenant’s Breach. Upon the breach by Tenant, or any persons claiming through or under
Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable
notice and cure period Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and to invoke any other
remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies
were not provided in this Lease for such breach. The rights to invoke the remedies set forth above
are cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in
equity.

- 43 -

 

     Section 15.3 Landlord’s Damages.

          (a) Amount of Damages. If this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to possession of the
Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1, then:

               (i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all items of Rent payable under this Lease by Tenant
to Landlord prior to the date of termination;

               (ii) Landlord may retain (to the maximum extent of its damages) all monies, if any, paid by
Tenant to Landlord, whether as prepaid Rent, a Security Deposit or otherwise, which monies, to the
extent not otherwise applied to amounts due and owing to Landlord, shall be credited by Landlord
against any damages payable by Tenant to Landlord and Landlord will promptly deliver to Tenant any
excess proceeds to which Tenant is entitled;

               (iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in monthly installments, on the days specified in this
Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, any Deficiency; it being understood that
Landlord shall be entitled to recover the Deficiency from Tenant each month as the same shall
arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month, shall prejudice
Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and

               (iv) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency and as liquidated and agreed final damages,
a sum equal to the amount by which the Rent for the period which otherwise would have constituted
the unexpired portion of the Term (assuming the Additional Rent during such period to be the same
as was payable for the year immediately preceding such termination or re-entry, increased in each
succeeding year by 4% (on a compounded basis)) exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value
of the Premises, for the same period (with both amounts being discounted to present value at a rate
of interest equal to 2% below the then Base Rate) less the aggregate amount of Deficiencies
theretofore collected by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.3(a)(iii) for the same
period.

          (b) Reletting. If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space
in the Building, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the reasonable
third-party out-of-pocket expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the
purposes of this Section 15.3. Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents collected or payable
under any reletting, whether or not such rents exceeds the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease.
Nothing contained in Article 15 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from
Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any Requirement, or of any sums
or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in this Section
15.3.

     Section 15.4 Interest. If any payment of Rent is not paid within 5 Business Days
after the same is due, interest shall accrue on such payment, from the date such payment became
due until paid at the Interest Rate. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of Rent
will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such
costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without
limitation,

- 44 -

 

processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the
terms of any note secured by a Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, in addition to interest,
if any amount is not paid within 5 Business Days after the same is due, a late charge equal to 5%
of such amount shall be assessed; provided, however, that on 2 occasions during any calendar year
of the Term, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such late payment and Tenant shall have a period
of 5 Business Days thereafter in which to make such payment before any late charge is assessed.
Such interest and late charges are separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not
diminish or represent a substitute for any of Landlord’s rights or remedies under any other
provision of this Lease.

     Section 15.5 Other Rights of Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due,
Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in
the case of a default by Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent. If Tenant is in arrears in the
payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items against which any
payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to
any items Landlord sees fit, regardless of any request by Tenant.

     Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall not look to any
property or assets of any partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer, principal, or
employee of Tenant (collectively, the “Tenant Parties”) in seeking either to enforce Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Tenant’s failure to perform such
obligations; and none of the Tenant Parties shall be personally liable for the performance of
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

     Any provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall not discontinue
providing utilities (other than overtime HVAC service) to the Premises due to any default of
Tenant, until Landlord has obtained a court order or other similar determination by an applicable
judicial or arbitrative body authorizing such discontinuance.

     Section 15.6
Maintenance Default. If Landlord fails to perform any repair or maintenance which
is Landlord’s obligation under this Lease, or fails to perform Landlord’s obligations under
Section 8.1(c) of the Lease, and such failure materially and adversely impacts Tenant’s use and
enjoyment of the Premises for the Permitted Use (a “Repair Problem”), Tenant shall send Landlord a
written notice detailing the nature of the Repair Problem (the “First Notice”). If such Repair
Problem continues for 15 days after Landlord receives the First Notice, Tenant shall send a second
notice which must state “SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST” at the top of the notice (the “Second Notice”).
If the Repair Problem continues for 15 days after Landlord receives the Second Notice, Tenant may
make such repairs or perform such maintenance at Tenant’s cost provided that Tenant shall be
solely responsible for any damage or injury, or death caused by or arising therefrom. Any
provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, if Landlord commences repair of the
Repair Problem within 15 days after receipt of the Second Notice and thereafter prosecutes such
repair to completion with reasonable diligence, Landlord shall have a reasonable period after
receipt of the Second Notice to complete the Repair Problem. All notices given to Landlord under
this Section and elsewhere in this Lease must be given in accordance with the requirements set
forth in Article 23.

- 45 -

 

     If Tenant complies with the provisions of this Section, upon Tenant’s completion of the
Repair Problem Landlord shall (subject to Article 7 of this Lease and to the restrictions of this
Section) pay Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, for making such repairs or performing such
maintenance promptly upon presentation of a bill therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall have no right (i) to undertake any action which would affect the Building Systems, (ii) to
undertake any action which would affect the Building’s exterior walls, floor slabs, roof or
structure, or (iii) to set off or deduct any amounts due from Landlord hereunder from the Fixed
Rent or Additional Rent due under this Lease.

     Any provision of this Section 15.6 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of an
emergency requiring repairs to the Emergency Power System, if Landlord does not promptly and
diligently perform the repairs, Tenant’s self-help right under this Section shall apply to the
Emergency Power System without the requirement of providing the First Notice or the Second Notice
to Landlord.

ARTICLE 16

LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE; FEES AND EXPENSES

     If Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord,
without waiving such default, may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense:
(a) immediately, and without notice, in the case of emergency threatening imminent harm to any
person or property or if the default (i) materially interferes with the use by any other tenant of
the Building, (ii) materially interferes with the efficient operation of the Building, (iii)
results in a violation of any Requirement, or (iv) results or will result in a cancellation of any
insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (b) in any other case if such default continues after
30 days from the date Landlord gives notice of Landlord’s intention to perform the defaulted
obligation. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by
it and all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by
Landlord in any action or proceeding (including any unlawful detainer proceeding) brought by
Landlord to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the
Premises, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within 30 days after demand, with interest thereon at
the Interest Rate from the date incurred by Landlord. Except as expressly provided to the contrary
in this Lease, all costs and expenses which, pursuant to this Lease are incurred by Landlord and
payable to Landlord by Tenant, and all charges, amounts and sums payable to Landlord by Tenant for
any property, material, labor, utility or other services which, pursuant to this Lease or at the
request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by Landlord, shall
become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for
such amount.

ARTICLE 17

NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD; LANDLORD’S APPROVAL

     Section 17.1 No Representations. Except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord and
Landlord’s agents have made no warranties, representations, statements or promises with respect
to the Building, the Real Property or the Premises and no rights, easements or licenses are
acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise. Tenant is entering into this Lease after full

- 46 -

 

investigation and is not relying upon any statement or representation made by Landlord not
embodied in this Lease.

     Section 17.2. No Money Damages. Wherever in this Lease Landlord’s consent or approval is
required, Landlord hereby acknowledges its duty to act in each such case consistent with a covenant
of good faith and fair dealing (but Landlord shall not otherwise be subject to a “reasonableness”
standard where Landlord has reserved its right to act in its sole discretion). If Landlord refuses
to grant such consent or approval, whether or not Landlord expressly agreed that such consent or
approval would not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant shall not make, and
Tenant hereby waives, any claim for money damages (including any claim by way of set-off,
counterclaim or defense) based upon Tenant’s claim or assertion that Landlord unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent or approval. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action
or proceeding to enforce such provision, by specific performance, injunction or declaratory
judgment, provided that such remedy can be obtained during the pendency of the Lease.

     If Tenant is unable to obtain such remedy during the pendency of the Lease, then
notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled money damages equal to the diminished
value of Tenant’s leasehold estate proximately caused by Landlord acting in bad faith in
withholding its consent or approval, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment from a court
of competent jurisdiction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease to the contrary,
in no event shall either party be liable to the other for any indirect, consequential or punitive
damages, including loss or profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with
this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s waiver to set forth in the second sentence of
this Section shall not apply to any final non-appealable judgment that Tenant obtains from a court
of competent jurisdiction that Landlord acted in bad faith in withholding its consent or approval.

     Section 17.3 Reasonable Efforts. For purposes of this Lease, “reasonable efforts” by Landlord
or Tenant shall not include an obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other
premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses whatsoever.

ARTICLE 18

END OF TERM

     Section 18.1 Expiration. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord vacant, broom clean and in good order and
condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms
of this Lease excepted, and except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.3 to the
contrary, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property and to the extent Tenant is required
elsewhere in this Lease to remove Tenant’s Specialty Alterations.

     Section 18.2
Holdover Rent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that Landlord’s damages resulting
from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender possession of the Premises may be substantial, may
exceed the amount of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure.
Accordingly, if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date
or sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies

- 47 -

 

Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord for each month (or any
portion thereof) during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner
termination of this Lease, a sum equal to 150% of the Rent payable under this Lease for the last
full calendar month of the Term for the first 60 days of such holdover and 200% of the Rent payable
under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term for any holdover in excess of 60
days, (b) be liable to Landlord for (i) any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be
required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a “New
Tenant”) in order to induce such New Tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the
holding-over by Tenant, and (ii) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any New Tenant shall
terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant, and (c) indemnify Landlord against all
claims for damages by any New Tenant. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the
amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner
termination of this Lease, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the
Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of
the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2. Any
provision of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, in connection with any such holdover,
Tenant shall have a 60 day grace period prior to being liable for any consequential or punitive
damages as a result of such holdover.

ARTICLE 19

QUIET ENJOYMENT

     Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and no Event of Default by Tenant then
exists, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises and Tenant’s possession of the
Premises and the rights afforded to Tenant hereunder shall not be disturbed, without hindrance by
Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 20

NO SURRENDER; NO WAIVER

     Section 20.1 No Surrender or Release. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s
agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises,
and no provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such
waiver is in writing and is signed by Landlord.

     Section 20.2 No Waiver. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to
insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the
Rules and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future
performance of such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to
exercise such election but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with
respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent payable
pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this
Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of
a lesser amount than the monthly Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a
payment on

- 48 -

 

account of the earliest stipulated Rent, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment,
nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or
payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any
other remedy provided in this Lease.

ARTICLE 21

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY; COUNTERCLAIM

     Section 21.1 Jury Trial Waiver. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any
action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party against the other on any matters in
any way arising out of or connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant,
Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or the enforcement of any remedy under any statute,
emergency or otherwise.

     Section 21.2 Waiver of Counterclaim. If Landlord commences any summary proceeding against
Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such
proceeding (unless failure to interpose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in
a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to
consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any
other court by Tenant.

ARTICLE 22

NOTICES

     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all consents, notices, demands,
requests, approvals or other communications given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall
be deemed sufficiently given or rendered if delivered by hand (provided a signed receipt is
obtained) or if sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or by a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service making receipted deliveries, addressed to Landlord and
Tenant as set forth in Article 1, and to any Mortgagee or Lessee who shall require copies of
notices and whose address is provided to Tenant, or to such other address(es) as Landlord, Tenant
or any Mortgagee or Lessor may designate as its new address(es) for such purpose by notice given
to the other in accordance with the provisions of this Article 22. Any such approval, consent,
notice, demand, request or other communication shall be deemed to have been given on the date of
receipted delivery, refusal to accept delivery or when delivery is first attempted but cannot be
made due to a change of address for which no notice is given or 3 Business Days after it shall
have been mailed as provided in this Article 22, whichever is earlier.

ARTICLE 23

RULES AND REGULATIONS

     All Tenant Parties shall observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations, as
reasonably supplemented or amended from time to time. Landlord reserves the right, from time to
time, to adopt additional Rules and Regulations and to amend the Rules and Regulations then in
effect. Nothing contained in this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to enforce the
Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease against any other

- 49 -

 

Building tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any
other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors or licensees, provided that Landlord shall enforce
the Rules or Regulations against Tenant in a non-discriminatory fashion. Landlord shall not enforce
any Rules and Regulations other than in a uniform, non-discriminatory manner.

ARTICLE 24

BROKER

     Landlord has retained Landlord’s Agent as leasing agent in connection with this Lease
and Landlord will be solely responsible for any fee that may be payable to Landlord’s Agent.
Landlord agrees to pay a commission to Tenant’s Broker pursuant to a separate agreement. Each of
Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its agents have dealt
with any broker in connection with this Lease other than Landlord’s Agent and Tenant’s Broker and
that no other broker, finder or like entity procured or negotiated this Lease or is entitled to
any fee or commission in connection herewith. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify, defend,
protect and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all Losses which the
indemnified party may incur by reason of any claim of or liability to any broker, finder or like
agent (other than Landlord’s Agent and Tenant’s Broker) arising out of any dealings claimed to
have occurred between the indemnifying party and the claimant in connection with this Lease,
and/or the above representation being false.

ARTICLE 25

INDEMNITY

     Section 25.1 Tenant’s Indemnity. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or
thing upon the Premises or the Building which may subject Landlord to any liability or
responsibility for injury, damages to persons or property or to any liability by reason of any
violation of any Requirement, and shall exercise such control over the Premises as to fully
protect Landlord against any such liability. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold
harmless each of the Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses, resulting from any claims
(i) against the Indemnitees arising from any act, omission or negligence of any of the Tenant
Parties, (ii) against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever
caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring in or about the Premises, and
(iii) against the Indemnitees resulting from any breach, violation or nonperformance of any
covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be fulfilled, kept,
observed or performed. The foregoing indemnity shall be deemed to exclude liability arising from
the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees, or any of them.

     Section 25.2 Landlord’s Indemnity. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant
from and against all Losses incurred by Tenant arising from (i) any act, omission or negligence
of Landlord, (ii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or the property
of any person in or about the Real Property (exclusive of the Premises) to the extent
attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents,
and/or (iii) any breach, violation or nonperformance of any covenant, condition or agreement of
this Lease on the part of Landlord to be fulfilled, kept, observed or performed.

- 50 -

 

     Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Landlord nor any of
its employees, agents or contractors shall be liable under any theory of liability to Tenant for
any indirect, special, incidental, remote or consequential damages arising under or in connection
with this Lease, whether in an action for or arising out of breach of contract, business
interruption, tort, or otherwise.

     Section 25.3 Defense and Settlement. If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought
against any Indemnitee, then upon demand by an Indemnitee, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the lndemnitee’s name(if necessary), by
attorneys reasonably approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed (attorneys for Tenant’s insurer shall be deemed approved for
purposes of this Section 25.3). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee may retain its own
attorneys to participate or assist in defending any claim, action or proceeding involving
potential liability in excess of the amount available under Tenant’s liability insurance carried
under Section 11.1 for such claim and Tenant shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of
such attorneys. If Tenant fails to diligently defend or if there is a legal conflict or other
conflict of interest, then Landlord may retain separate counsel at Tenant’s expense.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Tenant may direct the Indemnitee to
settle any claim, suit or other proceeding provided that (a) such settlement shall involve no
obligation on the part of the Indemnitee other than the payment of money, (b) any payments to be
made pursuant to such settlement shall be paid in full exclusively by Tenant at the time such
settlement is reached, (c) such settlement shall not require the Indemnitee to admit any
liability, and (d) the Indemnitee shall have received an unconditional release from the other
parties to such claim, suit or other proceeding.

ARTICLE 26

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 26.1 Delivery & Authority. This Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord or
Tenant unless and until Landlord shall have executed and delivered a fully executed copy of this
Lease to Tenant. Landlord represents to Tenant that Landlord has the authority to enter into this
Lease and perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder

ARTICLE 27

SECURITY DEPOSIT

     Section 27.1 Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit with Landlord within
5 days after execution of this Lease as security for the faithful performance and observance by
Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.

     Section 27.2 Letter of Credit. Tenant shall deliver the Security Deposit to Landlord in the
form of a clean, irrevocable, non-documentary and unconditional letter of credit (the “Letter of
Credit”) issued by and drawable upon (i) any commercial bank or financial institution reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord with offices for banking purposes in the Washington, D.C. or New York,
N.Y., metropolitan area (the “Issuing Bank”), which has outstanding unsecured, uninsured and
unguaranteed indebtedness, or shall have issued a letter of credit or other credit facility that
constitutes the primary security for any outstanding indebtedness (which is otherwise uninsured and
unguaranteed), that is then rated, without regard to qualification of such rating by symbols such
as “+” or “-” or numerical notation, “Aa” or better by Moody’s Investors Service and “AA” or better
by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service, and has combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not
less than $500,000,000, (ii) Societé Generale or (iii) Citibank. Such Letter of Credit shall (a)
name Landlord as beneficiary, (b) be in the amount of the Security Deposit, (c) have a term of not
less than one year, (d) permit multiple drawings, (e) be fully transferable by Landlord without the
payment of any fees or charges by Landlord, and (f) otherwise be in form and content reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. If upon any transfer of the Letter of Credit, any fees or charges shall
be so imposed, then such fees or charges shall be payable solely by Tenant and the Letter of Credit
shall so specify. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be deemed automatically
renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each thereafter during the Term
(and in no event shall the Letter of Credit expire prior to the 45th day following the
Expiration Date) unless the Issuing Bank sends a notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Landlord by
certified mail, return receipt requested, not less than 45 days next preceding the then expiration
date of the Letter of Credit stating that the Issuing Bank has elected not to renew the Letter of
Credit. Landlord shall have the right, upon receipt of the Non-Renewal Notice, to draw the full
amount of the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank, and shall thereafter hold or
apply the cash proceeds of the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Article 27, until
Tenant delivers to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit

- 55 -

 

which meets the requirements of this Section 27.2. The Issuing Bank shall agree with all
drawers, endorsers and bonafide holders that drafts drawn under and in compliance with the terms of
the Letter of Credit will be duly honored upon presentation to the Issuing Bank at an office
location in New York City, New York or such other location if presentment may be accomplished by
facsimile. The Letter of Credit shall be subject in all respects to the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No.
500.

     Section 27.3 Application of Security. If an Event of Default by Tenant occurs in the
payment or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, including the
payment of Rent, or Landlord receives a Non-Renewal Notice, Landlord may apply or retain the whole
or any part of any cash Security Deposit and/or Landlord may notify the Issuing Bank and thereupon
receive all or a portion of the Security Deposit represented by the Letter of Credit and use,
apply, or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, as the case may be, to the extent
required for the payment of any Fixed Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default
including (i) any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s
default, and/or (i) any damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to this Lease, whether such
damages accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord. If Landlord
applies or retains any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant, within 10 days after demand, shall
deposit with Landlord (or provide an additional letter of credit meeting the requirements of
Article 27) the amount so applied or retained so that Landlord shall have the full Security
Deposit on hand at all times during the Term. If Landlord receives any amount represented by the
Letter of Credit, Landlord shall retain, as a cash Security Deposit, any sum not applied by
Landlord in accordance with provisions of Article 27. Landlord shall hold any such cash Security
Deposit in accordance with the provisions of Article 27. If Tenant shall comply with all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant
within 30 days following the Expiration Date and Tenant’s surrender of the Premises as required by
this Lease.

     Section 27.4 Transfer. Upon a sale or other transfer of the Real Property or the Building,
or any financing of Landlord’s interest therein, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the
Security Deposit to its transferee or lender. With respect to the Letter of Credit, within 10
days after notice of such transfer or financing, Tenant shall arrange for the transfer of the
Letter of Credit to the new landlord or the lender, as designated by Landlord in the foregoing
notice or have the Letter of Credit reissued in the name of the new landlord or the lender.
Tenant shall pay any Letter of Credit transfer fees for the first transfer and Landlord shall pay
any Letter of Credit transfer fees for the second and all subsequent transfers. Upon such
Transfer Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord or lender for the return of such cash
Security Deposit or Letter of Credit and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or
assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new landlord. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or
attempt to assign or encumber the cash Security Deposit or Letter of Credit and neither Landlord
nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such action or attempted assignment, or
encumbrance.

     Section 27.5 Reduction. If (a) no more than 2 monetary Events of Default have occurred (with
each monetary default or missed payment constituting, for purposes of this Section, a separate
Event of Default) during the 3rd or 4th Lease Year, and (b) no Event of Default

- 56 -

 

exists as of the last day of the 4th Lease Year, then, provided that Tenant
complies with the provisions of this Section 27.5, (i) on first day of the 5th Lease
Year, the Security Deposit shall be reduced to $350,000. The Security Deposit shall be reduced as
follows: Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit (which amendment
must be reasonably acceptable to Landlord in all respects), reducing the amount of the Letter of Credit by the amount of the
permitted reduction, and Landlord shall execute the amendment and such other documents as are
reasonably necessary to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms
hereof. If Tenant delivers to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit in accordance with the
terms hereof, Landlord shall, within 10 Business Days after delivery
of such a mendment, either (1)
provide its reasonable objections to such amendment or (2) execute such amendment of the Letter of
Credit in accordance with the terms hereof. If any portion of the Security Deposit is in the form
of cash and Tenant would be entitled to a reduction in the Security Deposit under this Section if
the entire Security Deposit were in the form of the Letter of Credit, Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant the net permitted reduction in the Security Deposit on or before the 15th day of
the 5th Lease Year.

     This Exhibit C (this “Exhibit”) is attached to and made a part of that certain Deed of
Lease dated as of
                                                            , 2002 (the “Lease”), by and between TST
WOODLAND FUNDING I, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and FRANCE TELECOM
LONG DISTANCE USA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”). Terms used but not defined
in this Exhibit shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Lease.

     1. Authorized Representatives.

     (a) Tenant hereby designates Morten Sorensen (“Tenant’s Authorized Representative”) as the
individual authorized to approve and initial all plans, drawings, change orders and approvals
pursuant to this Exhibit and the act of Tenant’s Authorized Representative shall be sufficient to
bind Tenant. Landlord shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any such item until such
item has been approved by Tenant’s Authorized Representative. Any notices required pursuant to
this Exhibit shall be conclusively deemed given to Tenant when such notice is delivered to
Tenant’s Authorized Representative.

          (b) Landlord designates Rustom Cowasjee (“Construction Supervisor”) as Landlord’s
construction supervisor in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, at
no additional cost of expense to Tenant. The Construction Supervisor shall be permitted access to
the Premises at any time upon 24 hours prior notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency,
for which no prior notice shall be required) to make periodic inspections of the Premises during
construction of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, neither Landlord nor Construction
Supervisor will have any obligation to so inspect the Tenant Improvements and, if Landlord or
Construction Supervisor elects to so inspect the performance of all or any portion of the Tenant
Improvements, such inspection shall not give rise to any liability by Landlord or Construction
Supervisor to Tenant or to any other person or entity.

     2. Initial Improvements.

          (a) Landlord has, at Landlord’s expense, constructed the base building core and shell (the
“Base Building”) in substantial conformity with the plans prepared by HOK Architects dated
September 27, 1999, as the same have been amended from time to
time (the “Base Building Plans”)
and beyond which the Tenant Improvements (as defined below) shall be completed in accordance with
the terms contained herein. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement
Date in “as-is” condition at such time. Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever with
respect to the finishing of the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy. The design, permitting
and construction of the improvements to the Premises, as approved by Landlord and Tenant pursuant
to this Exhibit (the “Tenant Improvements”), shall be performed by Tenant pursuant to this
Exhibit of the Lease and all other applicable provisions including, without limitation,
insurance, damage and indemnification provisions of the Lease.

Exhibit C

Page 1 of 8

 

 

          (b) All
Tenant Improvement work involving the roof of the Building or any other work
that may void a Building warranty, shall be performed by Landlord’s designated contractor or
subcontractor at Tenant’s expense. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant requests work to be
done in the Premises or for the benefit of the Premises that necessitates revisions or changes in
the design or construction of the Base Building or materially or adversely
affects any Base Building system(s), any such changes shall be subject to the prior written
approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and delays
resulting from such design revisions or construction changes, including architectural and
engineering charges, and any special permits or fees attributed thereto. Before any such design
and/or construction changes are made, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the full costs to be incurred
by Landlord in connection with such changes. At Landlord’s option, any Tenant Improvements which
affect the exterior or structure of the Building or the Base Building system(s) (including,
without limitation, any Tenant Improvements that may affect any connection with the fire alarm
system and the Building’s HVAC controls) shall be performed by contractors and subcontractors
selected by Landlord or approved by Landlord in its sole discretion but at the sole cost and
expense of Tenant. Landlord shall have the option to retain an architect or independent engineer to
review and/or inspect the Tenant’s plans and specifications at any time prior to Landlord’s
approval thereof and/or the Tenant Improvements, at all reasonable times; Tenant shall be
responsible for the fees and expenses of such architect and engineer, not to exceed One and 00/100
Dollars ($1.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises.

          (c) From the Base Building Plans specified above, Tenant shall cause its architect and
engineer (each, as approved by Landlord, “Tenant’s Architect” and “Tenant’s Engineer”), to prepare
and submit to Landlord final architectural and engineering working drawings, mechanical,
electrical and plumbing plans, and all other construction documents approved by Tenant (such
documents, as approved by Landlord, “Tenant’s
Construction Documents”) and generally in accordance
with the space plan attached hereto as Exhibit C-l. The selection of Tenant’s Architect
and Tenant’s Engineer shall be mutually agreed to between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant’s
Construction Documents shall include: master legend, construction plan, reflected ceiling plan,
telephone and electrical outlet layout, finish plan and all architectural details, elevations
and specifications necessary to construct the Tenant Improvements. Tenant’s
Construction Documents and the Tenant Improvements shall conform to and be in accordance with the
Minimum Build-Out Standards set forth on Exhibit C-2. and shall, in any event, use design,
construction practices and materials consistent with Comparable Buildings. All of Tenant’s plans
shall be prepared by Tenant’s Architect, Tenant’s Engineer or a licensed architect and engineer
reasonably approved by Landlord and shall be accurate, complete and, in the professional judgment
of Tenant’s Architect and Tenant’s Engineer, sufficient to secure the approval of any governmental
or quasi-governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the approval thereof (“Authority Having
Jurisdiction”).

Exhibit C

Page 2 of 8

 

 

          (d) All plans, drawings and other documents ( and changes thereto) shall be prepared in
accordance with the requirements set forth on Exhibit C-4 and subject to Landlord’s prior
written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Landlord must respond to submissions within 10 Business Days after Landlord’s receipt thereof; but
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver its response within 7 days (other than for
the NOC plans) after Landlord’s receipt thereof. Landlord’s approval of a submission shall not
constitute either (i) approval of any delay caused by Tenant or a waiver of any right or remedy
that may arise as a result of such delay, or (ii) Landlord’s representation that Tenant’s
Construction Documents (or changes thereto) are accurate or comply with all Requirements. Any
deficiency in design or construction, although the same had prior approval of Landlord, shall be
solely the responsibility of Tenant. Within 5 Business Days after the receipt of Landlord’s
comments, Tenant’s Architect and Tenant’s Engineer shall make the required modifications (if any)
and resubmit 1 full set to Landlord of Tenant’s Construction Documents, initialed by Tenant’s
Authorized Representative. Tenant may submit Tenant’s Construction Documents for permitting and
Landlord’s approval at the same time.

          (e) Tenant shall endeavor to expeditiously file all applications, plans and specifications,
pay all fees and obtain all permits, certificates and other approvals required by the Authority
Having Jurisdiction in connection with the commencement and completion of the Tenant Improvements,
and diligently and in good faith pursue same so that all permits and approvals are issued as soon
as practicable. If minor modifications are at any time required by government authorities to any
such plans or specifications, then Tenant shall make such modifications. Tenant shall obtain a
nonresidential use permit (or its equivalent) and all other approvals required for Tenant to use
and occupy the Premises and to open for business to the public. Copies of all permits are to be
forwarded to Landlord promptly after Tenant’s receipt thereof.

     3. General Requirements.

          (a) All materials and equipment incorporated into the Tenant Improvements shall be new or
like-new and all work shall be done in a first-class workmanlike manner. All work shall be
performed in accordance with the rules and regulations set forth on Exhibit C-3.

          (b) The Tenant Improvements shall proceed only on the basis of approved drawings. Changes
that occur during actual construction that differ from the approved drawings will require revised
drawings to be submitted for Landlord’s approval; otherwise, Tenant at its own expense may be
required to bring the construction into compliance with approved drawings. No drawings are
considered “approved” unless they bear Landlord’s signature of approval.

          (c) Landlord shall have no obligation or responsibility to Tenant in respect of any
deviations in the actual dimensions of the Premises. Tenant shall have the affirmative
obligation (or shall cause Tenant’s Architect or Tenant’s Engineer) to conduct an on-site
verification of all measurements, dimensions and conditions affecting the Tenant Improvements
prior to letting any contracts for the performance of the Tenant Improvements and prior to
ordering the fabrication of any trade fixtures. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant
Improvements at all reasonable times.

Exhibit C

Page 3 of 8

 

 

          (d) Tenant and Landlord will coordinate their work schedules so that the construction
of the Tenant Improvements may proceed in an efficient and timely manner, and such the Tenant
Improvements will be performed at times and in a manner which will not interfere with completion
of any other work being performed in the Building. Tenant shall cause the Tenant Improvements to
be performed and completed in compliance with all Requirements (including Fairfax County Building
Codes) and such rules and regulations as Landlord and its architect and contractor, or
contractors, may make.

          (e) Upon Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Construction Documents and prior to the commencement
of any construction, Tenant shall submit the following:

work, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon a list of mutually acceptable general contractors from
which list Tenant shall select the general contractor to perform the Tenant Improvements;

               (ii) contractor’s certificates of insurance;

               (iii) payment for the Tenant Improvements to be performed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, if
any;

               (iv) copy of all building permit(s);

               (v) construction schedule from Tenant’s contractor;

               (vi) evidence of approval from Tenant’s insurance company for work to be performed within
Premises and that all insurance required hereunder has been obtained naming Landlord and
Landlord’s Agent as additional insured; and

               (vii) a copy of Landlord’s Contractor Rules and Regulations executed by each contractor and
acknowledging such contractor’s agreement to comply with such rules and regulations.

          (f) Tenant shall have the right to require that access to the Premises by Landlord, its

Tenant’s expense, shall:

          (a) furnish final lien waivers and other evidence satisfactory to Landlord that all of the

order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise) or waived, and that no security interests
relating thereto are outstanding;

          (b) reimburse Landlord for the cost of any the Tenant Improvements done for Tenant by
Landlord (it being agreed, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform the same);

          (c) furnish to Landlord all certifications and approvals with respect to the Tenant
Improvements that may be required from any governmental authority and any board of fire
underwriters or similar body for the use and occupancy of the Premises;

          (d) within 30 after completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s

          (g) furnish a certified HVAC air balancing report (reasonably satisfactory to Landlord);

          (h) furnish Landlord with copies of all O&M information, manuals, etc.; and

     5. Cost and Allowances

          (a) Tenant shall be responsible for and shall directly pay all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Tenant Improvements (the “Improvement Costs”) and any other expenses
associated with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. Any provision of this Exhibit to the contrary
notwithstanding, Landlord shall not charge Tenant an administrative fee in connection with the
Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall provide to Tenant an allowance
(“Landlord’s Contribution”) in
order to help Tenant pay for the Improvement Costs in the amount of Six Hundred Five Thousand
Twenty-Three and 76/100 Dollars ($605,023.76). Landlord’s Contribution shall be applied towards
(i) the costs to design and permit the Tenant Improvements; (ii) the costs to purchase materials
and install and construct the Tenant Improvements; (iii) the cost of any improvements or
alterations requested by Tenant (and approved by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion) to be
made to the Base Building on account of the Tenant Improvements; (iv) the costs to purchase and
install Building signage (if any) as permitted in the Lease; and (v) and for no other purpose.
Landlord shall have the right to deduct

Exhibit C

Page 5 of 8

 

 

all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Exhibit from Landlord’s Contribution.
Contemporaneously with any such deduction, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice.

          (b) Provided no Event of Default exists under the Lease, Landlord shall disburse portions
thereof to Tenant in accordance with this Exhibit. Landlord shall have no obligation to disburse
any amount (x) until the work that is the subject of the payment requisition is complete, and (y)
that is greater than the sums that are actually invoiced by Tenant’s contractors as evidenced by
Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of an invoice approved by Tenant together with any written contract
between Tenant and Tenant’s contractors, appropriate lien releases and any other reasonable
information or documentation required by Landlord, and (iii) Landlord shall have no obligation to
reimburse Tenant for any invoice that is not received by Landlord (together with the other items
required pursuant to this Exhibit in connection with the disbursement) before the end of the
18th monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant
within 30 days after receipt of each such requisition, provided that the conditions to each such
requisition are satisfied in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and Tenant provides Landlord all
supporting documentation and any other reasonable information required by Landlord simultaneously
with the submission of such requisition. If a condition of a requisition is not reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, Landlord will promptly notify Tenant of same so that it can be
corrected.

          (c) Landlord
shall be entitled to withhold from any requested disbursement for payment a
retainage equal to the greater of the retainage set forth in the construction contract or 10% of
amount due under the construction contract (the “Retainage”). The Retainage shall be disbursed to
Tenant 30 days after Substantially Completion of the Tenant Improvements; provided, that in no
event shall the Retainage be disbursed to Tenant until such time as Tenant has complied with the
disbursement requirements set forth in this Exhibit.

          (d) All
Improvement Costs in excess of Landlord’s Contribution shall be paid by Tenant
(or if previously paid by Landlord, shall be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant) within 30 days
after receipt by Tenant of invoices therefor. In the event that the sum of the contract price for
construction of the Tenant Improvements (as modified from time to time by change orders), plus any
other estimated Improvement Costs exceeds Landlord’s Contribution (“Excess Cost”), Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord such documentation as Landlord might reasonably require (e.g., cancelled
checks, invoices marked “paid” and lien waivers) to demonstrate that Tenant has paid such Excess
Cost from Tenant’s funds (which shall not include any portion of Landlord’s Contribution) prior to
Landlord having an obligation to disburse any portion of Landlord’s Contribution or to commence or
continue any work and any delay caused by Tenant’s failure to timely perform its obligations with
respect to the Excess Cost shall be deemed a tenant delay. Once Tenant has paid the full amount
of the Excess Cost for Improvement Costs, Landlord shall apply Landlord’s Contribution to
Improvement Costs as provided above. All Improvement Costs outstanding upon exhaustion of the
Landlord’s Contribution shall be borne exclusively by Tenant, and Tenant agrees to indemnify
Landlord from and against any such costs. All amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to this Exhibit
shall be deemed to be Additional Rent for purposes of the Lease.

Builder’s Risk Form, in an amount not less than $3,000,000, covering Landlord, Landlord’s
architects, Landlord’s contractor or subcontractors, Tenant and Tenant’s contractors, as their
interest may appear, against loss or damage by fire, vandalism, and malicious mischief and other
such risks as are customarily covered by the so-called “broad form extended coverage endorsement”
upon all the Tenant Improvements in place and all materials stored at the site of the Tenant
Improvements, and all materials, equipment, supplies and temporary structures of all kinds incident
to the Tenant Improvements and builder’s machinery, tools and equipment, all while forming a part
of, or on the Premises, or when adjacent thereto, while on drives, sidewalks, streets or alleys,
all on a completed value basis for the full insurable value at all times. Said Builder’s Risk
Insurance shall contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurer against
Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors.

               (ii) Worker’s Compensation. At all times during the period of construction of the
Tenant Improvements, Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall maintain in effect statutory
worker’s compensation as required by the jurisdiction in which the Building is located.

          (b) the Tenant Improvements shall be coordinated with Landlord’s Work and any other work
being performed by Landlord and other tenants in the Building so that the Tenant Improvements will
not interfere with or delay the completion of any other construction work in the Building.

          (c) It shall be Tenant’s responsibility to cause each of Tenant’s contractors and
subcontractors to provide adequate protection to the structure, systems, finishes and all other
components of the Base Building. Such protective measures shall be mutually agreed on by
Landlord and Tenant.

          (d) It
shall be Tenant’s responsibility to cause each of Tenant’s contractors and
subcontractors to remove and dispose of, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, at least daily and
more frequently as Landlord may direct, all debris and rubbish caused by or resulting from the
Tenant Improvements, and upon completion, to remove all temporary structures, surplus materials,
debris and rubbish of whatever kind remaining on any part of the Building or in proximity thereto
which was brought in or created in the performance of the Tenant Improvements (including stocking
refuse). If at any time Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall neglect, refuse or fail to
remove any debris, rubbish, surplus materials, or temporary

Exhibit C

structures, Landlord at its sole option may remove the same at Tenant’s expense without
prior notice.

     7. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Roof. Except as otherwise expressly agreed in the Lease, Landlord retains
the sole right to disallow any and all roof penetrations by Tenant and roof installation of
equipment and/or structures by Tenant.

          (b)
Loads. No item shall be mounted on or hung from the interior or exterior
of the Building by Tenant without Landlord’s prior written approval; provided such approval is not
required for non-structural wall and picture hangings done solely within the Premises. If Tenant
desires to mount or hang anything, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the loads involved and shall
pay all costs involved.

          (c) Ducts. Subject to the terms of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to
install, maintain, repair and replace in the ceiling space and/or under the concrete slab, adjacent
to demising partitions and free standing columns, electrical, water or other lines and/or ducts
that may be required to serve the Common Areas or others in the Building.

          (d) Access. Throughout the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant and
Tenant’s contractors shall have reasonable access to the Building’s freight elevator and loading

     1. Right to Install. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Tenant shall have
the right, at its sole cost and expense, and for its own use, to purchase, install, maintain and
operate upon a portion of the rooftop of the Building certain telecommunications equipment (the
“Rooftop Communications Equipment”). Tenant shall furnish detailed plans and specifications for the
Rooftop Communications Equipment (or modification) to Landlord for approval, which approval will
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
limit the location, size, height, width and weight of the Rooftop Communications Equipment and to
prohibit any Rooftop Communications Equipment which Landlord reasonably determines not to be
aesthetically acceptable. The square footage on the roof of the Building that Tenant shall be
permitted to use for Tenant’s Rooftop Communications Equipment shall be equal to 35% of the total
square footage of the portion of the roof of the Building that Landlord permits to be used for
rooftop communications equipment. In no event shall the Rooftop Communications Equipment (including
without limitation any guy wires) be located outside the portion of the rooftop allocated to Tenant
(which allocation shall include the non-exclusive easement provided under Section 4 of this
Exhibit). If Landlord determines it to be reasonably necessary, Landlord shall have the right to
require, at Tenant’s expense, that a structural engineering report be prepared prior to Landlord’s
approval of any proposed Rooftop Communications Equipment. Tenant will use the Rooftop
Communications Equipment solely for Tenant’s and Tenant’s customers communications and data
transfer operations and for no other purpose.

     2. Costs. Tenant shall pay all costs of purchase, design, installation, operation,
permitting, utilization, insurance, replacement, maintenance and removal of the Rooftop
Communications Equipment. Any provision of the Lease or this Exhibit to the contrary
notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right to separately meter the Rooftop Communications
Equipment for electricity or to cause Tenant to separately meter the Rooftop Communications
Equipment for electricity, in either case, at Tenant’s expense, and, in such case, Tenant shall
pay as Additional Rent the electricity charges for the Rooftop Communications Equipment directly
to Landlord or to the electricity provider, as Landlord shall determine.

     3. Other Parties’ Rights. Landlord has advised Tenant that other tenants of the
Building have certain rights to erect communications systems on the roof of the Building. Landlord
shall have the right for itself and to permit other current and future tenants to use portions of
the roof for communications equipment or for any other use so long as such use does not materially
interfere with Tenant’s use. Tenant covenants that it will not use its Rooftop Communications
Equipment in a manner that will interfere with Landlord’s and/or any current or future tenant’s
use of the roof of the Building for communications equipment (provided such current tenant’s use
exists as of the Commencement Date, or such future tenant’s use exists prior to Tenant’s use that
interferes with such future tenant’s then existing use) or for any other use. Tenant shall not
permit the Rooftop Communications Equipment to constitute a nuisance or to

Exhibit G

Page 1 of 2

 

 

interfere with the operations of Landlord or other tenants occupying the Building or using other
portions of the roof of the Building for communications systems.

     4. Easements. Tenant is hereby granted such nonexclusive easements and licenses for

embezzlement, misrepresentation, moral turpitude; or (iii) unprofessional
conduct which may adversely affect the reputation of the Company and/or

detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such

Disability shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician
mutually acceptable to you and the Company. If you and the Company cannot agree as
to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those
two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing.
The determination of Disability made in writing to you and the Company shall be
final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.
	 
	 	9.3	 	Termination by Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate
this Agreement at any time, effective immediately, without Cause. In the
event that the Company terminates this Agreement without Cause, you shall
be paid immediately (except as noted) all accrued Base Salary, all accrued
but unused PTO, and any reasonable and necessary business expenses

Company pursuant to Section 9.3 or by you pursuant to Section 9.4(b)
above, and provided you execute a general release of claims satisfactory to
the Company, you shall be entitled to: (a) one hundred eighty (180) days
severance pay at your then-existing Base Salary, payable at the same time
and in the same manner as such Base Salary had been paid prior to such

employment during the severance period, and any other compensation received
by you from any such employment and/or engagement shall reduce on a
