	 	 	RENT PER	 	 	 	 
	TIME PERIOD	 	SQUARE FOOT	 	ANNUAL RENT	 	MONTHLY RENT
	2/1/09 — 1/31/10
	 	$	12.39	 	 	$	160,884.00	 	 	$	13,407.00	 
	2/1/10 — 1/31/11
	 	$	11.91	 	 	$	154,656.00	 	 	$	12.888.00	 
	2/1/11 — 1/31/12
	 	$	11.55	 	 	$	149,976.00	 	 	$	12,498.00	 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, unless Tenant exercises one or
both of its renewal options in accordance with Section 35, only the time period of 2/1/09
 — 1/31/10 shall be applicable, and unless Tenant exercises both of its renewal options in
accordance with Section 35, the time period of 2/1/11 — 1/31/12 shall not be applicable.

     2. Section 1.10 of the Lease is replaced with the following:

1.10 “Term” shall include a period of time from the commencement of the Lease and
extending for a period of one (1) year until January 31, 2010; provided that the
Term shall extend to the last day of any renewal term as to which Tenant exercises
its option.

     3. Section 8.2 of the Lease is replaced with the following:

         8.2 Tenant shall provide and maintain its own janitorial services for the interior of the
Premises, and shall otherwise keep the interior of the Premises together with all electrical,
plumbing, heating, air conditioning and other mechanical installations and equipment used by or in
connection with the Premises, in good order, replacement and repair (and any replacement or repair
shall be of equal or better quality than that originally delivered or shall be as reasonably
specified by Landlord), and promptly replace any doors, windows and plate glass which may be broken
or damaged with material of like kind and quality, and surrender the Premises at the expiration of
the Term in as good condition as when received except for ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire
or other casualty included in the extended coverage endorsement to Landlord’s fire insurance
policies. Tenant will not overload the electrical wiring and will not install any additional
electrical wiring or plumbing unless it has first obtained Landlord’s written consent thereto, and,
if such consent is given, Tenant will install them at its own cost and expense. Tenant will repair
promptly, at its own expense, any damage to the Premises caused by bringing into the Premises any
property for Tenant’s use, or by the installation, use or removal of such property, regardless of
fault or by whom such damage shall be caused unless caused by Landlord, its agents, employees or
contractors. In furtherance of that above, Tenant covenants and agrees to obtain a maintenance,
repair and service contract on the HVAC system, said contract to be on such terms and with such
company as shall be approved reasonably by Landlord and delivered to Landlord within thirty (30)
days after commencement of the Term. Landlord shall not be responsible for any loss by Tenant for
water damage due to any cause including by way of illustration and not of

[Telvent Legal Review Seal]

 

 

limitation leaks or bursts of the plumbing, pipes or roof, or damage due to the sprinkler system or
other fire protection/extinguishment apparatus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
above, in the event that Tenant replaces a major component of the electrical, plumbing, heating, or
air conditioning systems (not as a result of misuse by Tenant or its employees or invitees), and
the replacement component has a useful life that extends beyond the remaining Term of the Lease,
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant therefor for the difference between (a) the cost of such
component and (b) the product of the cost of the component multiplied by a fraction
having as its numerator the remaining number of months in the Term and as its denominator the
useful life (in months) of such component. If Tenant exercises either of its renewal options under
Section 35, Tenant shall simultaneously reimburse Landlord for the difference between the
amount reimbursed to Tenant in the proceeding sentence and the amount that would have been
determined had the fraction in the preceding sentence included as its numerator the number of
remaining number of months in the Term had such renewal option term already been exercised.

     4. Section 35 of the Lease is replaced with the following:

SECTION 35. Renewal Terms. Tenant shall have two (2) one (1) year options
to renew this Lease provided that Tenant gives no less than sixth (6) months’ prior
written notice by Tenant to Landlord. Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise a
renewal option if it is then in default under the Lease, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to exercise the second renewal option if it has not exercised the first
renewal option. The rental rate for the renewal options shall be as set forth in
Section 1.1 above.

     5. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge, represent, and warrant each to the other
that no broker or real estate agent brought about or was involved in the making of this Amendment
except Corridor Reznick LLC, and that no brokerage fee or commission is due to any other party as a
result of the execution of this Lease except Corridor Reznick LLC, whose commission shall be paid
by Landlord. Each of the parties hereto agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other against any
claim by any other broker, agent, or finder based upon the execution of this Amendment and
predicated upon a breach of the above representation and warranty.

     6. Authority. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant that each has the authority to
enter into this Amendment, and that the signatories hereto are authorized representatives of
Landlord and Tenant, respectively.

     7. Entire Agreement. The Lease and this Amendment contain the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and
agreements on such subject matter. This Amendment cannot be changed in any manner except by a
written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

     8. Maryland Law. This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State where the
Premises are located.

[Telvent Legal Review Seal]

 

 

     9. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly amended or modified herein, all other
terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent
the provisions of this Amendment are inconsistent with the Lease, the terms of this Amendment shall
control.

     10. Defined Terms. All terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Lease.

     11. Counterpart and Facsimile Copies. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original for all purposes; provided, however,
that all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Each party’s
facsimile execution on any counterpart of this Agreement (i) shall be deemed an original execution
of the applicable party; (ii) shall be binding upon the applicable party for all purposes; and
(iii) may be relied upon by the other party as being authorized and authentic.

     12. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence to each and every provision of the
Lease and this Amendment.

     13. Waiver of Jury Trial.

     LANDLORD AND TENANT DO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, OR UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE LEASE OR THIS AMENDMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS,
STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ANY ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN
ANY MANNER WITH THE LEASE OR THIS AMENDMENT. THIS WAIVER SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR TERMINATION
OF THE LEASE OR THIS AMENDMENT. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH AGREE THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE
ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION OR WITH ANY OTHER CASE
OR CLAIM IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
