The Basic Rent and all Additional Charges shall be paid promptly when due, in lawful money of the United States, without notice or demand and without deduction, diminution, abatement, counterclaim, or setoff of any amount or for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise expressly provided in subsection (b), to Landlord at Landlord’s Notice Address or at such other address or to such other person as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. If Tenant makes any payment to Landlord by check, such payment shall be by check of Tenant and Landlord shall not be required to accept the check of any other person, and any check received by Landlord shall be deemed received subject to collection. If any check is mailed by Tenant, Tenant shall post such check in sufficient time prior to the date when payment is due so that such check will be received by Landlord on or before the date when payment is due. Tenant shall assume the risk of lateness or failure of delivery of the mails, and no lateness or failure of the mails will excuse Tenant from its obligation to have made the payment in question when required under this Lease. If, during the Term, Landlord receives two or more checks from Tenant which are returned by Tenant’s bank for insufficient funds or are otherwise returned unpaid, Tenant agrees that all checks thereafter shall be either bank certified, cashiers’, or treasurers’ checks. Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant an amount equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of all bank service charges resulting from any returned checks plus a handling fee of five hundred dollars ($500.00). The rent reserved under this Lease shall be the total of all Basic Rent and Additional Charges, increased and adjusted as elsewhere herein provided, payable during the entire Term and, accordingly, the methods of payment provided for herein, namely, annual and monthly rental payments, are for convenience only and are made on account of the total rent reserved hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, or elsewhere provided, it is agreed and understood that throughout the Lease Term Tenant agrees to establish and maintain with a commercial bank or financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord, a special account for the payment of Tenant’s Basic Rent obligations from which the payments of Basic Rent shall be wired

directly to Landlord’s account no later then the first regular business day of each calendar month (the “Rent Payment Account”). It is further agreed that throughout the Lease Term, no later then the 10^th calendar day of each month, the Landlord shall receive written verification from the bank or financial institution holding the Rent Payment Account that Tenant has irrevocably pre-ordered automatic wire transfers from the Rent Payment Account to Landlord’s account to occur on the first business day of each of the next two (2) months for the full payment of Basic Rent (“Pre-ordered Rent Payments”) for the subject months and that the Rent Payment Account has sufficient balances to provide for said payments (“Rent Payment Account Minimum Balance”).

(b) Payment of Operating Expense Increases. Tenant shall pay as Additional Charges its Proportionate Share of any Operating Expense Increases in accordance with Section 1(b) for each calendar year, commencing with the calendar year 2002, it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall pay such Additional Charges for 2002 in spite of the fact that the Lease Commences July 1, 2003. Landlord shall make a reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Operating Expense Increase for each calendar year, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord 1/12th of the amount so estimated on the first day of each month in advance. If Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Operating Expense Increases for any calendar year is received by Tenant after January 1 of the calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in a lump sum, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the estimate, the arrearage in the monthly estimates for each month in the calendar year before receipt of the estimate and shall pay the remaining monthly installments on the first day of each month in advance during the balance of the calendar year. After the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the Operating Expenses for such calendar year and the amount (if any) of Tenant’s Operating Expense Increases for such calendar year. If Tenant’s Operating Expense Increases so stated are more than the amount (if any) theretofore paid by Tenant for Operating Increases based on Landlord’s estimate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days after the submission of such statement. If Tenant’s Operating Expense Increases so stated are less than the amount (if any) theretofore paid by Tenant for Operating Expense Increases based on Landlord’s estimate, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the excess within thirty (30) days after submission of such statement. If either the Lease Commencement Date shall not coincide with the beginning of a calendar year or the last day of the Term shall not coincide with the end of a calendar year, then the amount of Operating Expense Increases payable for the calendar year in which the Lease Commencement Date or the last day of the Term occurs, as the case may be, shall be pro-rated on a daily basis between Landlord and Tenant based on the number of days in such calendar year in which this Lease is in effect. Tenant’s obligations under this subsection to pay Operating Expense Increases and Landlord’s obligation to reimburse Tenant for an overpayment of Operating Expenses shall survive the expiration of the Term. If any part of the Building is leased to tenants (hereinafter referred to as “Special Tenants”) which, in accordance with the terms of their leases, provide their own cleaning and janitorial services, electrical services, or are not required to pay Operating Expense Increases on the basis of operating expenses for the Building which include substantially the same components as the Operating Expenses (as defined in this Lease), the following provisions shall apply: (i) the Building Rentable Area shall be reduced by the rentable area of the space leased to Special Tenants; (ii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be the percentage which the Rentable Area is of the Building Rentable Area (determined after the reduction specified in clause (i); and (iii) Operating Expenses shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts payable to Landlord by Special Tenants, in accordance with the terms of their leases, as reimbursements for Real Estate Taxes and expenses of owning, operating, managing and maintaining the Building and the amount of the applicable operating expense base under such Special Tenants’ leases.

(c) Interest. If Tenant fails to make any payment of Basic Rent or Additional Charges on the due date thereof, interest shall, at Landlord’s option, accrue on the unpaid portion thereof from the due date at the Default Interest Rate, but in no event at a rate higher than the maximum rate allowed by law, and shall be payable on demand.

(d) Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant, receipt or acceptance by Landlord of any lesser amount than the amount stipulated to be paid hereunder shall be deemed other than on account of the earliest stipulated Basic Rent or Additional Charges; nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance due or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.

(e) Late Payment Charge. If Tenant fails to pay any Basic Rent or Additional Charges within five (5) days after the same become due and payable, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord a late payment service charge within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s notice that a late payment service charge is due (to cover Landlord’s administrative and overhead expenses of processing late payments) equal to the greater of $100.00 or five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum

for each and every calendar month or part thereof after the due date that such sum has not been paid to Landlord. Such payment shall be deemed liquidated damages and not a penalty, but shall not excuse the untimely payment of rent.

4. COMMON AREAS

Throughout the Term, Tenant and its agents, employees and business invitees shall have the nonexclusive right, in common with others, to use the public lobbies, parking lots, elevator, corridors, stairways, and other common areas in the Building and the toilet rooms in public areas of multi-tenant floors in the Building. Landlord shall have the right at any time, without the Tenant’s consent, to make reasonable changes to the arrangement or location of entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, stairs, toilet rooms, or other public portions of the Building, provided any such change does not unreasonably obstruct Tenant’s access to the Leased Premises.

(b) Electrical Supply: Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure or defect in the supply or character of electrical energy furnished to the Leased Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building with electricity. Tenant’s use of electrical energy in the Leased Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not install or operate in the Leased Premises any electrically operated equipment, including lighting, which uses electric current in excess of the allocable share of the Building system capacity without Landlord’s written consent, which consent may be conditioned upon Tenant’s agreement to pay an additional charge to compensate Landlord for Tenant’s excessive consumption of electricity and to pay the cost of any additional wiring which may be required for the operation of such equipment. Tenant shall not connect any equipment or other electrical device to the electrical system of the Building that would require unusual or excessive electrical service or that would interfere with the adequate supply of electrical service to (i) other tenants within the Building, or (ii) the Building common facilities. Any feeders or risers to supply Tenants electrical requirements in addition to those originally installed, and all other equipment proper and necessary in connection with such feeders or risers, shall be installed by Landlord upon Tenant’s request, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, provided that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such additional feeders or risers are permissible under applicable laws and insurance regulations and the installation of such feeders or risers will not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or cause or create a dangerous condition or unreasonably interfere with other tenants of the Building.

Electrical Use Limits: If, at any time or from time to time, the estimated connected electrical load (including lighting and power) used by Tenant’s electrically operated equipment exceeds an average of eight (8) xxxxx (6 xxxxx for low voltage and 2 xxxxx for high voltage) per square foot of the Leased Premises on a 120/208 volt panel board. Landlord may either (i) install a separate electric meter for the Leased Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of electricity it consumes, as recorded by such meter, in excess of the amount of electricity that would be consumed by a tenant whose consumption of electricity was equal to, but did not exceed, the specified limits, or (ii) from time to time have a survey made by an independent electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm to be selected and paid for by Landlord to determine the amount of electricity consumed by Tenant in excess of the amount of electricity that would be consumed by a tenant whose consumption of electricity was equal to, but did not exceed, then specified limits, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of excess electricity it consumes as determined by such electrical engineer or consulting firm.

(d) After Hours HVAC: Landlord shall provide heat and air-conditioning at times in addition to those specified in paragraph (5) of subsection (a) at Tenant’s expense, provided Tenant gives Landlord notice prior to 10:00 a.m. on Fridays or the day preceding a holiday (in the case of after-hours service on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays). Landlord shall initially charge Tenant for after-hours service at the rate of $45.00 per hour (or, if the Leased Premises include more than one HVAC zone on the same floor and such after hours service is provided for portions of the Leased Premises containing more than one HVAC zone, at the rate of $45.00 per hour per HVAC zone). Landlord reserves the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, to increase the hourly charge for said after-hours service, but in no event will the rate per hour charged to Tenant be more than an amount per hour which represents Landlord’s reasonable estimate of its actual cost of providing such after hours service, including labor, cost of electricity and wear and tear on equipment, plus an allowance of ten percent (10%) thereof to cover general overhead as an Additional Charge hereunder. Tenant shall be permitted to include in the Tenant Improvements a Tenant controlled after hours HVAC system provided it adequately provides Landlord a means of accounting for the after hours use by Tenant, as determined by Landlord and in such event any future increases in the charge for after hour use of that portion of the HVAC system that is under the Tenant’s control shall not include a markup to cover general overhead.

(e) Landlord’s Use Rights: Landlord reserves the right to erect, use, maintain, and repair pipes, conduits, cables, plumbing, vents, and wires in, to and through the Leased Premises as and to the extent that Landlord may now or hereafter deem to be necessary or appropriate for the proper operation and maintenance of the Building, or other tenants’ installations in the Building, and the right at all times to transmit water, heat, air-conditioning, and electric current through such pipes, conduits, cables, plumbing, vents, and wires, provided that Landlord, in the exercise of such rights, shall not unreasonably inconvenience Tenant or unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.

(f) Maintenance Access: Landlord shall have unrestricted access to any and all air-conditioning facilities in the Leased Premises for the purpose of repairs, maintenance, alterations, and improvements, but in exercising its rights under this subsection Landlord shall use its best efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business in the Leased Premises.

The exercise of such right by Landlord shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to, or interruption of, Tenant’s business, or otherwise, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent. Except in cases of emergency repairs, Landlord will give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage of any such repairs, alterations, replacements, additions, or improvements promptly. Landlord shall also perform any such work in a

manner designated to minimize interference with Tenant’s normal business operations.

(i) Service Delays: If Landlord shall fail to supply, or be delayed in supplying, any service expressly or implied to be supplied under this Lease, or shall be unable to make, or be delayed in making, any repairs, alterations, additions, improvements, or decorations, or shall be unable to supply, or be delayed in supplying, any equipment or fixtures, and if such failure, delay or inability shall result from Unavoidable Delays, such failure, delay or inability shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or relieve Tenant form any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or its agents by reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to, or interruption of, Tenant’s business, or otherwise, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent unless directly resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction..

(j) Voice, Data and other Communications Services: Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate Tenant’s need for additional riser space between floors one and two during the Lease Term and any extensions thereof for the installation of voice/data and other communications devices.

Tenant shall have the right to include in the Tenant Improvement Plans a reasonable number of risers to be used solely for Tenant’s internal (only within the Leased Premises) voice and data communications purposes. Landlord shall not open the secure risers without the consent of Tenant, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. At Tenant’s option such opening of the secure risers shall be supervised by Tenant or its representative.

Tenant shall not permit or suffer the Leased Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant except as provided by Section 15. Tenant shall at all times have access to the Leased Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, subject, however, in all respects to all the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease.

immediately discontinue such use of the Leased Premises. If thereafter the governmental authority asserting such violation threatens, commences, or continues criminal or civil proceedings against Landlord for Tenant’s failure to discontinue such use in addition to any and all rights, privileges and remedies given to Landlord under this Lease for default therein, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease forthwith. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all liability for any such violation or violations.

(d) Fire Insurance Limitations: Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer to be done any act, matter, thing, or failure to act in respect of the Leased Premises and/or the Building that will invalidate or be in conflict with fire insurance policies covering the Building or any part thereof, and shall not do, or permit anything to be done, in or upon the Leased Premises and/or the Building, or bring or keep anything therein, which shall increase the rate of fire insurance on the Building or on any property located therein. If, by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this subsection, the fire insurance rate shall at any time be higher than it otherwise would be, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord and any other tenant of the Building, on demand, for that part of all premiums for any insurance coverage that shall have been charged because of such violations by Tenant and which Landlord or such other tenant, or both, shall have paid on account of an increase in the rate or rates in its own policies of insurance. Tenant shall not be responsible for any increase in fire insurance rates generally applicable to office space in Fairfax County, Virginia, and not resulting from the particular manner in which Tenant uses the Leased Premises.

(e) Restricted Materials: Tenant shall not bring or permit to be brought or kept in or on the Leased Premises any flammable, combustible, or explosive fluid, material, chemical or substance except standard cleaning fluid, standard equipment and materials (including magnetic tape) customarily used in conjunction with business machines and equipment of the type used from time to time by Tenant in reasonable quantities.

However, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not have any right to install air-conditioning equipment, elevators, escalators, conveyors, or mechanical systems. In addition to the foregoing, all damage or injury to the Leased Premises and to its fixtures, appurtenances and equipment or to the Building or to its fixtures, appurtenances and equipment caused by Tenant moving property in or out of the Building or by installation or removal of furniture, fixtures, or other property by Tenant shall be repaired, restored, or replaced promptly by Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord.

Any of Tenant’s Special Installations which are not removed from the Leased Premises at the expiration of the Term shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be disposed of by Landlord without liability to Tenant.

(e) Mechanic’s Liens: Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant upon credit, and that no mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the reversion or other estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Leased Premises or the Building.

Landlord will require detailed specifications for review and approval to be provided to Landlord and it’s chosen consultant at least thirty (30) days prior to the date Tenant desires installation to commence. Any reasonable cost of landlord’s consultant in connection with review and approval of the subject specifications and plans shall be reimbursed by Tenant promptly upon request therefore. All roof access will be coordinated with Landlord’s management. Any building penetration shall be subject to the approval of Landlord (and its consultant’s) in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant will obtain all required permits and comply with all applicable restrictions at its sole cost and shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with installation, maintenance and removal of Tenant’s roof top equipment and of any associated building penetrations. Tenant also agrees to be responsible for present and future damages to said roof as the result of Tenant’s access and use of the roof as described herein.

(c) Signage: Tenant shall not display or erect any lettering, signs, advertisements, awnings or other projections on the exterior of the Leased Premises or in the interior of the Leased Premises if visible from a public way, except for customary hallway door lettering or interior suite signage visible to the public way (approved in writing in advance by Landlord), and except that Tenant shall be entitled to maintain its existing exterior building signage subject to Tenant continuing to occupy the Leased Premises in its entirety and provided Tenant has not been in default beyond any applicable cure period. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a prominent (“top billing”) location of its name on the existing building monument sign incorporated into the project by Landlord provided Tenant continues to occupy the Leased Premises in its entirety and fully and faithfully complies with all of the terms and conditions hereof, including but not limited to the timely payment of all amounts due Landlord hereunder. The Tenant shall not utilize more then its pro-rata share of signage square feet as provided for in local zoning ordinances. The Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining all required permits and approvals and shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with permitting, installation, maintenance and removal of its signage.

Directory listings and suite signage for any sub-tenants of Tenant shall be at Tenant’s expense. The size, color, and style of such directory and names affixed thereto shall be selected by Landlord.

11. LIABILITY INSURANCE

(a) General Liability Insurance: Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain in effect at all times during the Term, a policy of comprehensive general public liability insurance with broad form property damage endorsement, naming Landlord and (at Landlord’s request) any Mortgagee of the Building and any management agent as additional insured(s), protecting Landlord, Tenant and any such Mortgagee and management agent against any liability for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about any part of the Building or the land on which it is built, the Leased Premises or any appurtenances thereto, with such policies to afford protection to the limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with respect to bodily injury or death to any one person, to the limit of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) with respect to bodily injury or death to any number of persons in any one accident, to the limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with respect to damage to the property of any one owner from one occurrence, and with a deductible of no greater than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per occurrence. Such comprehensive liability insurance may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance which cover other property in addition to the Leased Premises, provided that the protection afforded thereunder shall be no less than that which would have been afforded under a separate policy or policies relating only to the Leased Premises and provided further that in all other respects any such policy shall comply with the other provisions of this Section.

(b) Policy Restrictions: The insurance policy required to be obtained by Tenant under this Section: (i) shall be issued by an insurance company of recognized responsibility licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located; and (ii) shall be written as primary policy coverage and not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which Landlord may carry. Neither the issuance of any insurance policy required under this Lease, nor the minimum limits

specified herein with respect to Tenant’s insurance coverage, shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any way Tenant’s liability arising under or out of this Lease. With respect to each insurance policy required to be obtained by Tenant under this Section, on or before the Lease Commencement Date, and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the expiring policy or certificate previously furnished, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance therefor, together with evidence of payment of all applicable premiums. Each insurance policy required to be carried hereunder by or on behalf of Tenant shall provide (and any certificate evidencing the existence of each such insurance policy shall certify) that such insurance policy shall not be cancelled unless Landlord shall have received thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of cancellation.

(c) Hold Harmless: Except for the willful gross negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or its agents or employees, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, losses, actions, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that (i) arise from or are in connection with Tenant’s possession, use, occupancy, management, repair, maintenance, or control of the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, or (ii) arise from or are in connection with any willful or negligent act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, invitees, or subtenants, or (iii) result from any default, breach, violation, or nonperformance of this Lease or any provisions therein by Tenant, or (iv) arise from injury or death to persons or damage to property sustained on or about the Leased Premises. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, defend any and all actions, suits, and proceedings which may be brought against Landlord with respect to the foregoing or in which Landlord may be impleaded. Tenant shall pay, satisfy, and discharge any and all money judgments which may be recovered against Landlord in connection with the foregoing.

(d) Unavailability in the marketplace of any insurance required herein shall not be excused as a force xxxxxx.

12. FIRE INSURANCE

(a) Landlord shall, throughout the Term, at its expense, keep the Building, but not Tenant’s Special Installations and Alterations or Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures or property removable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, insured against all loss or damage by fire with extended coverage in such amount as any first Mortgagee of the Building may from time to time require. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, at its expense, keep Tenant’s Special Installations and Alterations and Tenant’s personal property insured against all loss or damage by fire with extended coverage in an amount sufficient to prevent Tenant from becoming a co-insurer. Tenant’s policies of insurance shall contain an appropriate clause or endorsement under which the insurer agrees that such policy shall not be cancelled without at least thirty (30) days notice to Landlord.

(b) Landlord and Tenant will (i) if requested, advise the other as to the provisions of fire and extended coverage insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Section, and (ii) notify the other promptly of any change in the terms of any such policy which would affect such provisions.

13. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

In the event of loss of, or damage to, the Leased Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be as follows:

(a) If the Leased Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord, and Landlord, upon receiving such notice, shall proceed promptly and with reasonable diligence, subject to Unavoidable Delays and a reasonable time for adjustment of insurance losses, to repair, or cause to be repaired, such damage in a manner designed to minimize interference with Tenant’s occupancy (but with no obligation to employ labor at overtime or other premium pay rates). If the Leased Premises or any part thereof shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage, whether to the Leased Premises or the Building, the Basic Rent and Additional Charges shall proportionately xxxxx for the period from the date of such damage to the date when such damage shall have been repaired for the portion of the Leased Premises rendered untenantable. However, if, prior to the date when all of such damage shall have been repaired, any part of the Leased Premises so damaged shall be rendered tenantable and shall be used or occupied by Tenant, then the amount by which the Basic Rent and Additional Charges shall xxxxx shall be equitably apportioned for the period from the date of any such use.

(b) If as a result of fire or other casualty more than one-half (1/2) of the Building Rentable Area is rendered untenantable, Landlord within sixty (60) days from the date of such fire or casualty may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, specifying a date, not less than twenty (20)

nor more than forty (40) days after the giving of such notice, on which the Term shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Term. If the Leased Premises are damaged as a result of fire or other casualty and if the damage to the Leased Premised (but not including Tenant’s Special Installations or Alterations) is so extensive that such damage cannot be substantially repaired within one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of the fire or other casualty (except for Unavoidable Delays), either Landlord or Tenant within thirty (30) days from the date of such fire or other casualty may terminate this Lease by notice to the other, specifying a date, not less than twenty (20) nor more than forty (40) days after the giving of such notice, on which the Term shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date originally fixed for the expiration of the Term. If either Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease, the Basic Rent and Additional Charges shall be apportioned as of the date of such fire or other casualty. If neither Landlord nor Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall proceed to repair the damage to the Building and the damage to the Leased Premises (but not Tenant’s Special Installations or Alterations), if any shall have occurred, and the Basic Rent and Additional Charges shall meanwhile be apportioned and abated all as provided in subsection (a). However, if such damage is not repaired and the Leased Premises and the Building restored to reasonably the same condition as they were prior to such damage within two hundred and seventy (270) days from the date of such damage (such 270-day period to be extended by the period of any Unavoidable Delays plus a reasonable time for adjustment of insurance losses), Tenant, within thirty (30) days from the expiration of such 270-day period (as the same may be extended), may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord, specifying a date not more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice on which the Term shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Term.

(c) If the Leased Premises shall be rendered untenantable to the extent of eighty percent (80%) or more by fire or other casualty during the last six (6) months of the Term, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease upon notice to the other party given within ninety (90) days after such fire or other casualty specifying a day, not less than twenty (20) days nor more than forty (40) days after the giving of such notice, on which the Term shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date originally fixed for the expiration of the Term. If either Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to this subsection, the Basic Rent and Additional Charges shall be apportioned as of the date of such fire or casualty.

(d) Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any of Tenant’s Special Installations or Alterations or any other personal property of Tenant and no damages, compensation, or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business, or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Leased Premises or of the Building, but the foregoing shall not be deemed to relieve Landlord of liability for its breach of any covenant of this Lease.

(e) The provisions of this Section shall be considered an express agreement governing any instance of damage or destruction of the Building or the Leased Premises by fire or other casualty, and any law now or hereafter in force providing for such a contingency in the absence of express agreement shall have no application.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, and employees from, any and all liability or responsibility to Tenant or any Person claiming by, through or under Tenant, unless caused by Landlord’s gross negligence, by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any injury, loss, or damage to Tenant’s property covered by a valid and collectible fire insurance policy with extended coverage endorsement Tenant shall require its insurer(s) to include in all of Tenant’s insurance policies which could give rise to a right of subrogation against Landlord a clause or endorsement whereby the insurer(s) shall waive any rights of subrogation against Landlord, and Tenant shall pay any additional premium required therefor.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant shall not be liable or responsible for, and Landlord hereby releases Tenant and its partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, and employees from, any and all liability or responsibility to Landlord or any Person claiming by, through or under Landlord, unless caused by Tenant’s gross negligence, by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any injury, loss, or damage to Landlord’s property covered by a valid and collectible fire insurance policy with extended coverage endorsement. Landlord shall require its insurer(s) to include in all of Landlord’s insurance policies which could give rise to a right of subrogation against Tenant a clause or endorsement whereby the insurer(s) shall waive any rights of subrogation against Tenant, and Landlord shall pay any additional premium required therefor.

(h) The proceeds payable under all fire and other hazard insurance policies

maintained by Landlord on the Building shall belong to and be the property of Landlord, and Tenant shall not have any interest in such proceeds. Tenant agrees to look to its own fire and hazard insurance policies in the event of damage to Tenant’s Special Installations or Alterations or its personal property.

14. CONDEMNATION

(a) In the event of a Taking of the whole of the Leased Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such Taking. If only a part of the Leased Premises shall be so taken then, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, this Lease shall continue in force and effect but, from and after the date of the Taking, the Basic Rent and Additional Charges shall be equitably reduced on the basis of the portion of the Leased Premises so taken. If a part of the Building shall be taken, and if either (i) the part of the Building so taken contains more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises immediately prior to such Taking, or (ii) in Landlord’s reasonable opinion it shall be impracticable to continue to operate the Building, then Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may give to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date upon which Landlord shall have received notice of the Taking, thirty (30) days notice of termination of this Lease. If a part of the Building so taken contains more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises immediately prior to such Taking, or (ii) by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Leased Premises, then Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may give to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date upon which Tenant shall have received notice of such Taking, thirty (30) days notice of termination of this Lease. If thirty (30) days notice of termination is given by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day period. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law and such Taking, Tenant shall have access to the Leased Premises in order to remove Tenant’s Special Installations and any other personal property then owned by Tenant and which Tenant is entitled to remove pursuant to this Lease during the period of thirty (30) days from the date Tenant is permitted access therefor. If a Taking occurs which does not result in the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall repair, alter, and restore the remaining portions of the Leased Premises to their former condition to the extent that the same may be feasible.

(b) Landlord shall have the exclusive right to receive any and all awards made for damages to the Leased Premises and the Building accruing by reason of a Taking or by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority. Tenant hereby releases and assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s rights to such awards, and covenants to deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request, hereby irrevocably designating and appointing Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver in Tenant’s name and behalf all such further assignments thereof. However, Tenant shall have the right to make its own claim against the condemning authority for a separate award for the value of any of Tenant’s Special Installations and Alterations, for moving and relocation expenses and for such business damages and/or consequential damages as may be allowed by law which do not constitute part of the compensation for the Building and do not diminish the amount of the award to which Landlord would otherwise be entitled.

15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge, encumber, sell, assign, or transfer this Lease, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, or sublease all or any part of the Leased Premises, without Landlord’s written consent, which consent may be withheld for any reason whatsoever except as specifically set forth in this paragraph 15. In all events no such assignment shall be valid unless, prior to the commencement of the subject sub-lease or the occupancy of the sub-tenant Landlord shall have received financial information and documents from the proposed sub-tenant and approved the proposed sublease and Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord (i) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant, and (ii) an instrument in form attached hereto as Exhibit I, duly executed by the Tenant and the assignee or sub-tenant, in which such assignee or sub-tenant shall agree, among other things, to observe and perform, and to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, whether or not accruing prior to or after the date of such assignment and whether or not relating to matters arising prior to such assignment. In the event of any monetary Defualt hereunder that remains uncured after the passage of any applicable cure period, as set forth herein, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord the right to collect all Rent and additional charges due Tenant as Sublandlord from any subtenant.

(a) Right to Sublease: Tenant shall not have the right to sublease or assign the Leased

Premises in whole or in part to any party without Landlord’s prior written approval. If Landlord allows subleasing, in all events Tenant shall remain primarily liable under the lease. All additional rent and other compensation, in excess of the Basic Rent hereunder, provided by the subject sub-tenant under any sub-lease shall be the sole property of Landlord. In all events, any and all security deposit, paid to Tenant by any sub-tenant shall be promptly delivered to an escrow agent, selected by Landlord. Further, all payments due Tenant, as Sub-landlord, under any such Sub-lease shall be paid by joint check, made payable to Landlord and Tenant and if paid over to Landlord shall be credited against the then current amount due Landlord from Tenant.

(b) Restrictions on Sub-leasing: It is understood and agreed that the overall make up of tenants and the size of sub-leased spaces within the Building is subject to the Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion and in all events subject to Landlord’s approval. The Landlord reserves the right to deny approval of a sub-lease to any party.

(c) Prior to Offering: In connection with any request by Tenant for consent to sublet all or any portion of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days prior to offering any space for sub-lease, submit to Landlord, in writing, a notice of Tenant’s desire to sub-lease a portion of the Leased premises containing such information as the amount of proposed sub-lease space, the location of the proposed sub-lease space, an as-built floor plan of the proposed sub-lease space, the terms to be sought by Tenant under a sub-lease for the proposed sub-lease space, and the date of availability of the proposed sub-lease space.

(d) Sub-tenant Identification: Upon identifying a proposed sub-lease tenant (a “Proposed Sub-tenant”) or a proposed assignee (a “Proposed Assignee”) Tenant shall submit to Landlord, in writing, a statement containing the name of the Proposed Assignee or Sub-tenant, such information as to its financial responsibility and standing of the Proposed Assignee or Sub-tenant as Landlord may require, and all of the terms and provisions upon which the proposed assignment or sublease is to be made, and a floor plan delineating the proposed sublet area.

(e) Sub-lease Profits: In all events, any and all additional rent and other compensation in excess of the Basic Rent provided for herein, as provided for under any sublease or assignment permitted by Landlord, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord without offset or deduction of any kind, including, but not limited to any offset for Tenant’s costs of sub-leasing, legal expenses associated with the subject sub-lease, sub-tenant improvements paid for by Tenant, and any other concessions made to the subject sub-tenant (the “Sub-lease costs”). For the purposes of this provision Tenant agrees that all additional rent and other compensation in excess of the Basic Rent provided for herein generated from sub-leasing any of the Leased premises shall belong to, and be the sole property of Landlord. Further, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any portion of any profits generated by the sale of special services (including additional services provided by Landlord) to any sub-tenant of Tenant. In all events any permitted sub-tenant shall be required to execute a sub-lease agreement that is acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion and which incorporates all terms and conditions of this Lease.

(f) Mortgagee Approval: In all events all proposed subleases of the Leased Premises shall be subject to the approval of any lender of Landlord that holds a mortgage on the Building.

(g) Right of First Refusal: The Landlord shall at all times have a right of first refusal upon any portion of the Leased Premises that Tenant desires to sublease which right of first refusal may be assigned by Landlord. In the event the Landlord exercises this option the terms of the subject sub-lease shall be those readily available to Tenant from a third party. However, Landlord’s right of first refusal shall not apply where Tenant demonstrates that such sublease provides Tenant a reasonable business benefit.

(h) Invalid Transfers: Any attempted transfer, assignment, sub-leasing, mortgaging or encumbering of this Lease in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person. No permitted assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that (i) any consideration paid to Tenant in connection with a sub-leasing of all or any part of the Leased Premises which is attributable to an increase in the rental value of the Leased Premises over and above the Basic Rent and Additional Charges payable under this Lease, and (ii) any consideration paid to Tenant or any sub-tenant or other Person claiming through or under Tenant in connection with an assignment of the Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the interest of any sub-tenant or other Person claiming though or under Tenant under any sub-lease, shall accrue to the benefit of Landlord and not to the benefit of Tenant, or any sub-tenant or other Person claiming through or under Tenant, or the creditors of Tenant or of any such subtenant or other Person claiming through or under Tenant, and Landlord shall have the

right to condition its consent to any such assignment or subletting upon receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s or any subtenant’s or other Person’s written confirmation of or other evidence of compliance with, the provisions of clause (i) or (ii), as the case may be.

(i) Transfer of Control: If Tenant is a corporation, any transfer of any of Tenant’s issued and outstanding capital stock or any issuance of additional capital stock, as a result of which the majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tenant is held by a Person or Persons who do not hold a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tenant on the date hereof, shall be deemed an assignment under this Section 15; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to a corporation if all of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation is registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If Tenant is a partnership, or limited liability company, any transfer of any interest in the partnership, or limited liability company, or any other change in the composition of the partnership, or limited liability company, which results in a change in the control of Tenant from the Person or Persons controlling the partnership, or limited liability company, on the date hereof, shall be deemed an assignment under this Section 15. Notwithstanding this provision (15(i)) it is agreed that if such a transfer of stock occurs and within fifteen (15) days of such transfer (if not provided in advance of the transfer) the Landlord (a) receives financial statements and other related information, as required of Tenant hereunder, from the transferee, (b) acknowledges to the Tenant in writing that Landlord finds the financial condition of the transferee of the stock to be reasonably acceptable, and (c) the transferee of the stock affirms this Lease in writing, in a form acceptable to Landlord, then in such event such a transfer of control shall not be considered a Event of Default hereunder.

(j) Obligations of Assignee or Subtenant: If Tenant’s interest in this Lease is assigned in whole or in part, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Section, Landlord, at its sole option, may collect all rent and other amounts due Tenant from the assignee, whether Tenant is in Default hereunder or not. If the Leased Premises or any part thereof are sub-leased to, or occupied by, or used by, any Person other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Section, Landlord, at its sole option, may collect all rent and other amounts due Tenant from the sub-tenant (“Sub-tenant Payments”), whether Tenant is in Default hereunder or not. In either case, Landlord shall provide written notice to the subject sub-tenant or occupant of the Leased Premises, at the address of the Leased Premises, and to Tenant under this Lease informing the subject parties of Landlord’s election of its option to receive all Sub-tenant Payments and thereafter all Sub-tenant Payments due Tenant shall be paid directly to Landlord. In either case. Landlord shall apply the amount collected to the rents reserved in this Lease, but neither any such assignment, sub-leasing, occupancy, or use, whether with or without Landlord’s prior consent, nor any such collection or application, shall be deemed a waiver of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, sub-tenant, occupant or user as tenant. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or sub-leasing shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to obtain the express prior written consent of Landlord to any assignment or sub-leasing. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on any door of the Leased Premises or on any directory in the Building, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest in the Person so named any right or interest in this Lease or in the Leased Premises or be deemed to constitute, or serve as a substitute for, any prior consent of Landlord required under this Section, and it is understood that any such listing shall constitute a privilege extended by Landlord which shall be revocable at Landlord’s will by notice to Tenant, except where there exists a valid sublease. Neither an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease nor a sub-leasing, occupancy or use of the Leased Premises or any part thereof by any Person other than Tenant, nor the collection of rent by Landlord from any Person other than Tenant as provided in this subsection, nor the application of any such rent as provided in this subsection shall, in any circumstances, relieve Tenant from its obligation fully to observe and perform the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed.

16. DEFAULT PROVISIONS

(a) Each of the following events shall be deemed to be, and is referred to in this Lease as, an “Event of Default”:

(1) A default by Tenant in the due and punctual payment of (i) all Basic Rent due, by wire transfer, on the first business day of each calendar month, (ii) all Additional Charges (including but not limited to Tenant’s Additional Costs) as and when they become due as set forth herein, (iii) any amounts that become due and the entire balance due under the Promissory Note, representing the Security Deposit as set forth in Paragraph 19 hereof as and when such amounts become due, if applicable,; or

(2) The neglect or failure of Tenant to perform or observe any of the terms, covenants, or conditions contained in this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed (other than those referred to in paragraph (1) above for which Tenant does not have the right to a cure period) which if not remedied by Tenant within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant written notice specifying such neglect or failure; if such condition can not practically be remedied within said fifteen (15) day period Tenant shall have forty five days from the date of such notice to remedy the condition provided Tenant timely commences and diligently prosecutes such remedy unless the nature of such condition requires it to be remedied in a shorter period of time; or

(3) The assignment, transfer, mortgaging, or encumbering of this Lease or the sub-leasing of any or all of the Leased Premises in a manner not strictly in accordance with and permitted by Section 15; or

(4) The taking of this Lease or the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, upon execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant, or upon or subject to any attachment at the instance of any creditor of or claimant against Tenant, which execution or attachment shall not be discharged or disposed of within thirty (30) days after the levy thereof; or

(5) The abandonment of the Leased Premises, in whole or in part, by Tenant, provided that no abandonment shall be considered to have occurred so long as Tenant continues to pay all amounts due Landlord, as and when due, and continues to meet all other terms, conditions, and obligations of Tenant under this Lease, as reasonably determined by Landlord.

(6) The failure of any sub-tenant occupying any portion of the Leased Premises to comply with each and every provision of this Lease.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right, at its election, then or at any time thereafter while such Event of Default shall continue, either:

(1) To give Tenant written notice that this Lease will terminate on a date to be specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than ten (10) business days after such notice, and on the date of such notice Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises shall cease and this Lease shall thereupon be terminated, but Tenant shall remain liable as provided in subsection (c);or

(2) Without demand or notice, to re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, and repossess the same as of Landlord’s former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant a right to occupy the Leased Premises, and remove the effects of both or either, either by summary proceedings, or by action at law or in equity or by force (if necessary) or otherwise, without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant.

If Landlord elects to re-enter the Leased Premises as set forth above, Landlord may terminate this Lease, or, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, may re-lease the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, as agent for Tenant for such term or terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises. No such re-entry or taking of possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant as set forth above or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Tenant waives any right to the service of any notice of Landlord’s intention to re-enter provided for by any present or future law.

(c) If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to subsection (b), Landlord shall have the option to accelerate and declare the entire amount of all Basic Rent and Additional Charges (including but not limited to Tenant’s Additional Costs) provided for herein until the date this Lease would have expired had such termination not occurred as the total rental set forth in Section (a) (1) of this Paragraph as due and payable forthwith. Tenant shall be liable (in addition to accrued liabilities) to the extent legally permissible for (i) the sum of (A) all Basic Rent and Additional Charges (including but not limited to Tenant’s Additional Costs) provided for in this Lease until the date this Lease would have expired had such termination not occurred, and (B) any and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in re-entering the Leased Premises, repossessing the same, making good any default of Tenant, painting the same, adjoining the same with any adjacent space for any new tenants, putting the same in proper repair, re-letting the same (including any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and reasonable brokerage fees incurred with so doing), and any and all expenses which Landlord may incur during the occupancy of any new tenant (other than expenses

of a type that are Landlord’s responsibility under the terms of this Lease); less (ii) the net proceeds of any re-letting.

In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such sums as the court which has jurisdiction thereover may adjudge reasonable as attorney’s fees with respect to any successful law suit or action instituted by Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to release the whole or any part of the Leased Premises for the whole of the un-expired Term, or longer, or from time to time for shorter periods, for any rental then obtainable, giving such concessions of rent and making such special repairs, alterations, decorations, and paintings for any new tenant as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable. Tenant’s liability as aforesaid shall survive the institution of summary proceedings and the issuance of any warrant thereunder. Landlord shall be under no obligation to re-lease the Leased Premises, but agrees to use its best efforts to do so.

17. BANKRUPTCY TERMINATION PROVISION

At the sole and exclusive option of Landlord, evidenced by written notice from Landlord to Tenant, the Landlord may, without relieving Tenant from any of its obligations that survive termination, terminate this Lease, without the performance of any additional act or the giving of any additional notice to any other party, effective immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events, even if the effective date of termination precedes the date of Landlord’s notice, or on such later date as determined by Landlord: (1) Tenant’s admitting in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or (2) the commencement by Tenant of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law, or (3) the entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Tenant in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days, or (4) Tenant’s making an assignment of all or a substantial part of its property for the benefit of its creditors in satisfaction of a pre-existing debt or obligation, or (5) Tenant’s seeking or consenting to or acquiescing in the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, trustee or custodian for all or a substantial part of its property, or (6) the entry of a court order without Tenant’s consent, which order shall not be vacated, set aside or stayed within thirty (30) days from the date of entry, appointing a receiver, trustee, or custodian for all or a substantial part of Tenant’s property. The provisions of this Section shall be construed with due recognition for the provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws, where applicable, but shall be interpreted in a manner which results in a termination of this Lease, at the option of Landlord, in each and every instance, and to the fullest extent that such termination is permitted under the federal bankruptcy laws, it being of prime importance to the Landlord to deal only with tenants who have, and continue to have, a strong degree of financial strength and financial stability.

18. LANDLORD MAY PERFORM TENANT’S OBLIGATIONS

If Tenant shall fail to keep or perform, any of its obligations as provided in this Lease in respect to (a) maintenance of insurance, (b) repairs and maintenance of Leased Premises, (c) compliance with Legal Requirements, or (d) the making of any other payment or performance of any other obligation (other then the payment of amounts due Landlord hereunder), then Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) upon the continuance of such failure on Tenant’s part for ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant (or after such additional period, if any, as Tenant may reasonably require to cure such failure if of a nature which cannot be cured within said 10-day period but not to exceed fifteen additional days), or without notice in the case of an emergency, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation, and as an additional but not exclusive remedy, make any such payment or perform any such obligation and all sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Landlord in making such payment or performing such obligation, together with interest thereon from the date of payment at the Default Interest Rate, shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be paid to the Landlord on demand, or at Landlord’s option may be added to any installment of Basic Rent thereafter falling due, and if not so paid by Tenant, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of a default by Tenant in the payment of Basic Rent.

19. SECURITY DEPOSIT

(a) Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a Security Deposit in the amount of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($750,000.00), in the form of the

promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit G and incorporated herein (the “Security Deposit Promissory Note”). The Security Deposit Promissory Note shall provide for the total amount due thereunder to be due and payable not later then five (5) days after any Default by Tenant that is not cured within the applicable cure period, if any applies. Provided the Tenant has demonstrated financial viability, as reasonably determined by Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee(s), on the fourth anniversary of the Lease Commencement, the principal amount of this Note shall be reduced from Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) to an amount equal to the Basic Rent for the last Lease Year of the Lease Term.

(b) As consideration for Landlord entering into this Lease Agreement the Tenant hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any and all right Tenant may have (i) to any portion of the security deposit paid to Landlord pursuant to the Original Lease, (ii) to earn interest on any cash Security Deposit delivered to Landlord in connection with the Security Deposit Promissory Note hereunder.

(c) Tenant hereby deposits with Landlord the Security Deposit, as security for the prompt, full, and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every provision of this Lease and of all obligations of Tenant hereunder. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may use, make demand for payment of the full amount of the Security Deposit Promissory Note and upon receipt thereof, apply, or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of (i) any Basic Rent or Additional Charges which Tenant may not have paid or which may become due after the occurrence of such Event or Default, (ii) any sum expended by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf in accordance with the provisions of this Lease (including the reimbursement of the un-amortized Tenant Improvement Allowance provided by Landlord), or (iii) any sum which Landlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default, including damages or deficiency in the re-leasing of the Leased Premises as provided in Section 16. The use, application, or retention of the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by law and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. If any portion of the Security Deposit is used, applied or retained by Landlord for the purpose set forth above, Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after a written demand therefore is made by Landlord, to deposit cash with the Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.

(d) If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the provisions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term, without interest. In the absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of any permitted assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit, or the remaining balance thereof, Landlord may return the same to the original Tenant, regardless of one or more assignments of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Security Deposit. In such event, upon the return of the Security Deposit (or balance thereof) to the original Tenant, Landlord shall be completely relieved of liability under this Section.

(e) In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the transferee thereof. In such event, upon the delivery by Landlord to Tenant of such transferee’s written acknowledgement of its receipt of such Security Deposit, Landlord shall be deemed to have been released by Tenant from all liability or obligation for the return of such Security Deposit, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the return of the Security Deposit and the transferee shall be bound by all provisions of this Lease relating to the return of the Security Deposit.

(f) The Security Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned, or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion.

(g) THE SECURITY DEPOSIT PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL CONTAIN A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT PROVISION WHICH CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF IMPORTANT RIGHTS TENANT MAY HAVE AS A DEBTOR AND ALLOWS THE CREDITOR TO OBTAIN A JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT WITHOUT ANY FURTHER NOTICE.

(h) Should any sums become due and payable under the Security Deposit Promissory Note and such sums are not paid when and as due, time being of the essence, the Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Xxxx Xxxxxxx and/or Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, either of whom may act, as its attorney-in-fact to confess judgment on the Borrower under the Security Deposit Promissory Note for the full sum due thereunder, plus attorney’s fees of 20% of the total amount then outstanding under

the Security Deposit Promissory Note, and upon entry of the judgment, the Borrower under the Security Deposit Promissory Note waives the benefit of any and every statute, ordinance, or rule of court which may lawfully waived conferring upon the Borrower under the Security Deposit Promissory Note any right or privilege or exemption, stay of execution or supplemented proceedings, or other relief from the enforcement or immediate enforcement of a judgment or related proceedings on a judgment. The Borrower under the Security Deposit Promissory Note acknowledges that said sum is reasonable as evidenced by Borrowers signature on the Security Deposit Promissory Note. The Borrower under the Security Deposit Promissory Note consents to venue in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County with respect to the institution of an action confessing judgment hereon. The authority and power to appear for and enter judgment against the Borrower under the Security Deposit Promissory Note shall not be exhausted by one or more exercises thereof, or by any imperfect exercise thereof, and shall not be extinguished by any judgment entered pursuant thereto, such authority and power may be exercised on one or more occasions from time to time in the same or different jurisdictions as often as the Lender under the Security Deposit Promissory Note or its assigns shall deem necessary or advisable until all sums due under the Security Deposit Promissory Note are paid in full.

20. SUBORDINATION

(a) This Lease and Tenant’s interest hereunder shall have priority over, and be senior to, the lien of any Mortgage made by Landlord after the date of this Lease. However, if at any time or from time to time during the Term, a Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee requests that this Lease be subject and subordinate to its Mortgage, and if Landlord consents to such subordination, this Lease and Tenant’s interest hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of such Mortgage and to all renewals, modifications, replacements, consolidations, and extensions thereof and to any and all advances made thereunder and the interest thereon. Tenant agrees that, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request therefor from Landlord, it will, from time to time, execute and deliver any instrument or other document required by any such Mortgagee to subordinate this Lease and its interest in the Leased Premises to the lien of such Mortgage. If, at any time or from time to time during the Term, a Mortgagee of a Mortgage made prior to the date of this Lease shall request that this Lease have priority over the lien of such Mortgage, and if Landlord consents thereto, this Lease shall have priority over the lien of such Mortgage and all renewals, modifications, replacements, consolidations, and extensions thereof and all advances made thereunder and the interest thereon, and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request therefor from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents and instruments confirming the priority of this Lease. In addition, the Mortgagee of a Mortgage which has priority over this Lease shall have the right, at its option, to subordinate the lien of its Mortgage, in whole or in part, to this Lease by recording a unilateral declaration to that effect among the applicable Land Records. In any event, however, if this Lease shall have priority over the lien of a first Mortgage, this Lease shall not become subject or subordinate to the lien of any subordinate Mortgage, and Tenant shall not execute any subordination documents or instruments for any subordinate Mortgagee, without the written consent of the first Mortgagee.

(b) This Lease and Tenant’s interest hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to each and every ground or underlying lease hereafter made of the Building or the land on which it is constructed, or both, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements, and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees that, within ten (10) days after receipt of written request therefor from Landlord, it will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument or other document required by any such lessor to subordinate this Lease and its interest in the Leased Premises to such ground or underlying lease.

(c) If (i) the Building, or any part thereof, or the land on which the Building is constructed, or the Landlord’s leasehold estate in the Building, is at any time subject to a first Mortgage, and Landlord has entered into an assignment of this Lease to the holder of said first Mortgage, and (ii) the Tenant is given written notice of such assignment, including the name and address of the assignee, then, in that event, Tenant shall not terminate this Lease or make any abatement in the Basic Rent payable hereunder for any default on the part of the Landlord without first giving written notice, in the manner provided elsewhere in this Lease for the giving of notice, to such first Mortgagee, specifying the default in reasonable detail, and affording such first Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to make performance, at its election, for and on behalf of the Landlord.

21. ATTORNMENT

In the event of (a) a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, (b) the

termination of any ground or underlying lease of the Building or the land on which it is constructed, or both, or (c) the purchase of the Building or Landlord’s interest therein in a foreclosure sale or by deed in lieu of foreclosure under any Mortgage or pursuant to a power of sale contained in any Mortgage, then in any of such events Tenant shall, upon demand by the owner of the Building or the land on which it is constructed, or both, attorn to and recognize the transferee or purchaser of Landlord’s interest or the lessor under the terminated ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, as Landlord under this Lease for the balance then remaining of the Term, and thereafter this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between such person, as “Landlord,” and Tenant, as “Tenant,” except that such lessor, transferee or purchaser shall not be liable for any act or omission of Landlord prior to such lease termination or prior to such person’s succession to title, nor be subject to any offset, defense or counterclaim accruing price to such lease termination or prior to such person’s succession to title, nor be bound by any payment of Basic Rent or Additional Charges prior to such lease termination or prior to such person’s succession to title for more than one (1) month in advance. Tenant shall, upon request by Landlord or the transferee or purchaser of Landlord’s interest or the lessor under the terminated ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the foregoing provisions of this Section. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any present or future law or regulation which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease, or the obligations of Tenant hereunder, upon or as a result of the termination of any such ground or underlying lease or the completion of any such foreclosure and sale.

22. QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon paying the Basic Rent and the Additional Charges provided for in this Lease, and upon performing and observing all of the terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be kept, observed and performed, shall quietly hold, occupy, and enjoy the Leased Premises during the Term without hindrance, ejection, or molestation by Landlord or any party lawfully claiming through or under Landlord.

23. LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF ACCESS TO LEASED PREMISES

(a) Landlord and its agents shall have the following rights in and about the Leased Premises: (i) to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times and with reasonable notice to examine the Leased Premises or for any of the purposes set forth in this section or for the purpose of performing any obligation of Landlord under this Lease or exercising any right or remedy reserved to Landlord in this Lease, and if Tenant, its officers, partners, agents, or employees shall not be personally present or shall not open and permit an entry into the Leased Premises at any time when such entry shall be necessary or permissible, to use a master key or forcibly to enter the Leased Premises; (ii) to erect, install, use, and maintain pipes, ducts, and conduits in and through the Leased Premises which, when completed, will not substantially interfere with the use or appearance or materially reduce the space afforded to Tenant in the Leased Premises; (iii) to exhibit the Leased Premises to others at reasonable times and for reasonable purposes; (iv) to make such decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements, or additions, or to perform such maintenance, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of all heating, air-conditioning, elevator, plumbing, electrical and other mechanical facilities installed by Landlord, as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable; and (v) to take all materials into and upon the Leased Premises that may be required in connection with any such decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, or maintenance. Landlord agrees to give prior notice before it exercises its rights under this subsection, except that Landlord may enter the Leased Premises without notice in the case of an emergency. In making such an entry, Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with the regular and usual conduct of the Tenant’s business.

(b) All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Leased Premises) of all walls, windows, and doors bounding the Leased Premises (including exterior Building walls, corridor walls, doors, and entrances), all balconies, terraces, and roofs adjacent to the Leased Premises, all space in or adjacent to the Leased Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, chutes, pipes, conduits, ducts, fan rooms, heating, and air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical, and other mechanical facilities installed by Landlord, service closets and other Building facilities, and the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the Leased Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance, alteration, and repair, are hereby reserved to Landlord. Nothing contained in this Section shall impose any obligation upon Landlord with respect to the operation, maintenance, alteration, or repair of the Leased Premises or the Building.

(c) The exercise by Landlord or its agents of any right reserved to Landlord in this Section shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to

any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord, or its agents, or upon any lessor under any ground or underlying lease, by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant’s business, or otherwise. Landlord agrees to exercise its rights under this Section in a manner designed to minimize interference with Tenant’s normal business operations, without any obligation, however, to employ labor at overtime or other premium pay rates.

24. LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY

(a) Except for damages resulting from the willful or negligent act or omission of Landlord, its agents and employees, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents, business invitees, licensees, customers, guests or trespassers, for any damage or loss to the property of Tenant or others located on the Leased Premises, or in the Building or the land on which it is built, or for any accident or injury to Persons in the Leased Premises or the Building, resulting from the necessity of repairing any portion of the Building; the use or operation (by Tenant or any other Person or Persons whatsoever) of any elevators, or heating, cooling, electrical or plumbing equipment or apparatus; the termination of this Lease by reason of the destruction of the Building or the Leased Premises; any fire, robbery, theft, and/or any other casualty; any leaking in any part of the Leased Premises; any water, gas, steam, fire, explosion, electricity or falling plaster; the bursting, stoppage or leakage of any pipes, sewer pipes, drains, conduits, appliances or plumbing works; or any other cause whatsoever.

(b) Landlord shall not be required to perform any of its obligations hereunder, nor be liable for loss or damage for failure to do so, nor shall Tenant be released from any of its obligations under this Lease because of the Landlord’s failure to perform, where such failure arises from or through Unavoidable Delays or Legal Requirements. If Landlord is so delayed or prevented from performing any of its obligations during the Term, the period of such delay or such prevention shall be deemed added to the time herein provided for the performance of any such obligation.

25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Tenant agrees from time to time, within ten (10) days after written request therefor by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying to Landlord, any Mortgagee, assignee of a Mortgagee, or any purchaser of the Building or the land on which it is constructed, or both, or any other Person designated by Landlord, as of the date of such statement, (i) that Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises; (ii) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such modifications); (iii) whether or not there are then existing any set-offs or defenses known to Tenant against the enforcement of any right or remedy of Landlord, or any duty or obligation of Tenant, hereunder (and, if so, specifying the same in detail); (iv) the dates, if any, to which any Basic Rent or Additional Charges have been paid in advance; (v) that Tenant has no knowledge of any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord under this Lease (or, if Tenant has such knowledge, specifying the same in detail); (vii) the amount of any Security Deposit held by Landlord; and (viii) any additional facts reasonably requested by any such Mortgagee, assignee or a Mortgagee or purchaser.

26. SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES

(a) Tenant shall, on or before the last day of the Term, except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease, remove all of its property and peaceably and quietly leave, surrender and yield up to the Landlord the Leased Premises, free of sub-tenancies, broom clean and in good order and condition except for reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty, or conditions requiring repair by Landlord hereunder at Landlords expense.

(b) The provisions of this Section shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.

27. HOLDING OVER

If Tenant shall hold over possession of the Leased Premises after the end of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Leased Premises as a Tenant from month to month, at 150% of the Basic Rent, adjusted to a monthly basis, and subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable, or as the same shall be adjusted, to a month-to-month tenancy. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence the Tenant shall have the right to hold over for a period of up to two (2) months following the expiration

of the Lease Term, or any extension thereof, at 150% of the Base Rent in effect during the last month of the previous Lease Term with six (6) months written notice. Thereafter the holdover rent will be at 175% of the Basic Rent in effect during the last month of the previous Lease Term plus consequential damages.

28. PARKING

Tenant will have the right to utilize it’s pro-rata share of the parking spaces in the project’s parking structure and in the surface parking lots at no cost during the initial Lease Term and any extensions, including up to 10 reserved spaces in a location that includes the ten closest spaces to the entry door into the Building from the covered garage that were assigned to Tenant pursuant to the Original Lease. Throughout the Term, Tenant and/or its employees shall have the right, without additional cost, to park their automobiles in the surface and garage parking areas provided for the Building. Such parking spaces shall be available on a first-come, first-served basis (except as otherwise provided above), subject, however, to the rights of any other tenant of the Building to park automobiles in reserved parking spaces as provided in its lease. Landlord reserves the right, at any time or from time to time during the Term, to control access to the surface and garage parking areas, by use of mechanical or electric devices or otherwise, to tenants of the Building and their employees, provided that Landlord shall reserve at least twelve (12) parking spaces for parking for visitors of the Building. If, at any time during the Term, Landlord implements a controlled access system for the Building parking areas, Tenant shall have the right without additional cost, to use unassigned parking spaces in the structured parking and the surface parking lots on a pro-rata basis based on the square footage of the Leased Premises. Neither Tenant nor any of its employees shall use any of the parking facilities for storage of vehicles (or any other item such as boats or trailers) or park its or their automobiles in any portion of the Building parking areas reserved for visitor or handicapped parking or for parking of automobiles belonging to other tenants of the Building. Tenant shall cause its employees to abide by any parking reservation system implemented from time to time by Landlord. Any failure to abide by the parking restrictions implemented by Landlord shall entitle Landlord to have the vehicles parked in violation of the restrictions towed away at the risk and expense of the vehicle owner.

29. LEASING COMMISSION

Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that neither of them has employed any broker in carrying on the negotiations relative to this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other commission arising from or out of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.

30. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) The covenants, conditions, agreements, terms and provisions herein contained shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and, subject to the provisions of Section 15, each of their respective personal representatives, successors and assigns.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Lease (and the terms and provisions hereof) shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

(c) No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant, agreement, provision, condition or limitation of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by the Landlord of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term, covenant, agreement, provision, condition, limitation, right or remedy. No term, covenant, agreement, provision, condition or limitation of this Lease to be kept, observed or performed by Landlord or by Tenant, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by Landlord or by Tenant, as the case may be. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every term, covenant, agreement, provision, condition and limitation of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

(d) No notice, request, consent, approval, waiver or other communication which may be or is required or permitted to be given under this Lease shall be effective unless the same is in writing and is delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,

first-class postage prepaid, (1) if to Landlord, at Landlord’s Notice Address, or (2) if to Tenant, at Tenant’s Notice Address, or at any other address that may be given by one party to the other by notice pursuant to this subsection. Such notices, if sent by registered or certified mail, shall be deemed to have been given at the time of mailing.

(e) It is understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that this Lease contains the final and entire agreement between said parties, and that they shall not be bound by any terms, statements, conditions or representations, oral or written, express or implied, not herein contained. It is understood and agreed, however, that the terms hereof shall be modified, if so required, for the purpose of complying with or fulfilling the requirements of any Mortgagee secured by a first Mortgage that may now be or hereafter become a lien on the Building, provided, however, that such modification shall not be in substantial derogation or diminution of any of the rights of the parties hereunder, nor increase any of the obligations or liabilities of the parties hereunder.

(f) Tenant hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any claim, action, proceeding or counterclaim by Landlord on any matters arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant and/or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises. Tenant also agrees to waive any and all counterclaims Tenant may have in any suit for possession by Landlord; it being understood that the subject of any such counterclaim may be asserted by Tenant but only in a separate action brought by Tenant against Landlord.

(g) Tenant hereby waives any objection to the venue of any action filed by Landlord against Tenant in any state or federal court in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located, and Tenant further waives any right, claim or power, under the doctrine of forum non conveniens or otherwise, to transfer any such action filed by Landlord to any other court.

(h) In the event Tenant institutes an action at law or in equity against Landlord under the terms of this Lease and does not prevail, or the case is non-suited by Tenant, then in either event Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s attorney’s fees and other expenses of litigation.

(i) If Tenant is a corporation, within two (2) business days of the signing of this Lease, it shall furnish to Landlord certified copies of the resolutions of its Board of Directors (or of the executive committee of its Board of Directors) authorizing Tenant to enter into this Lease; and it shall furnish to Landlord evidence (reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel) that Tenant is a duly organized corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, is qualified to do business in good standing in the Commonwealth of Virginia, has the power and authority to enter into this Lease, and that all corporate action requisite to authorize Tenant to enter into this Lease has been duly taken.

(j) Time is of the essence in the performance of all Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

(k) Wherever appropriate herein, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular.

(l) If any provision of this Lease shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

(m) The captions in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of the provisions hereof.

(n) This Lease is not intended to create a partnership or joint venture between Landlord and Tenant in the conduct of their respective business.

(o) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Building in the event of any claim against Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, and Tenant agrees that the liability of Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, shall be limited to such estate and property of Landlord. No other properties or assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises, and if Tenant shall acquire a lien on or interest in any other properties or assets by judgment or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly release such lien on or interest in such other properties

and assets by executing, acknowledging and delivering to Landlord an instrument to that effect prepared by Landlord’s attorneys.

(a) This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, but all counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(b) Tenant shall use best efforts to deliver to Landlord prior to the Lease Commencement Date, in a form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, the following; (i) an irrevocable and unconditional assignment of each of the subleases (the “Assignment of Subleases”), entered into by Tenant as Sub-landlord with (a) Iona Technologies, Inc, (b) I-Connect, LC, and (c) Opennet, Inc. as subtenants (individually or collectively the “Comscore Subtenants”), (ii) a written statement from each of the Comscore Subtenants acknowledging the assignment of their subject sublease and the attorning of the rent and sublease to Landlord, affirming the validity of the subject sublease, and confirming all amounts due from Sub landlord to Subtenant (the “Subtenant Acknowledgement and Affirmation of Sublease”).

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) made and entered into this 3rd day February, 2005, by and between XXXXXXXX PARTNERS, L.C., a Virginia limited liability company, hereinafter referred to as “Landlord”; and COMSCORE NETWORKS, INC., a Delaware corporation, hereinafter referred to as “Tenant”.

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease Agreement dated June 23, 2003 (the “Lease”) for the lease of certain commercial office space located in an office building (the “Building”) located at 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, and more particularly described in the Lease (the “Premises”); and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend certain terms and conditions of the Lease.

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties herein contained, the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend the Lease as follows:

1. Notwithstanding the date on which this Amendment may be executed by either the Landlord or Tenant, all of the terms and conditions contained within this Amendment shall be effective as of February 1, 2005 (“Effective Date”).

2. The definition of the “Leased Premises”, as continued in paragraph 1(b) of the Lease, shall be amended to include an additional seven thousand four hundred sixty six (7,466) square feet of office space located on the fourth (4th) floor of the Building as more particularly described on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Additional Premises”). As of the Effective Date, the total Leased Premises shall be thirty three thousand eight hundred twenty nine and two tenths (33,829.20) square feet of Rentable Area.

3. The definition of “Basic Rent”, as contained in paragraph 1(b) of the Lease, shall be amended to provide that as of the Effective Date of this Amendment, the Basic Rent for the remainder of lease year two (February 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005) shall be Twenty Four and 20/100ths Dollars ($24.20) per square foot or Sixty Eight Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Two and 22/100ths Dollars ($68,222.22) per month. The definition of Basic Rent shall further be amended to provide that the Basic Rent shall increase each year by four percent (4%) over the immediately prior years’ Basic Rent. Therefore, the Basic Rent for the third lease year shall be determined by multiplying the annualized amended Basic Rent for the remainder of the second lease year (February 1, 2005 through June 30,

2005) of Twenty Four and 20/100ths Dollars ($24.20) per square foot by one hundred four percent (104%), and for each subsequent year by multiplying the Basic Rent for the immediately prior lease year’s Basic Rent by one hundred four percent (104%). Accordingly, the Basic Rent during the Initial Term hereunder will be as follows (and the chart shown on page 1 of the Lease is hereby replaced with the following):


	Annual Rent		Monthly Rent		Rent/S.F.

From 2/1/05 until 6/30/05:	$	818,666.64	$	68,222.22	$	24.20
From 7/1/05 until 6/30/06:	$	851,413.31	$	70,951.11	$	25.17

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord agrees to reduce the Basic Rent due for the month of February 2005 in the amount of $12,603.13. Accordingly, the total Basic Rent due for February 2005 is $55,619.09.

4. The definition of “Rent Per Square Foot”, as contained in paragraph 1(b) of the Lease, shall be amended to provide that the Basic Rent is Twenty Four and 20/100ths Dollars ($24.20) per square foot commencing as of the Effective Date of this Amendment, and that Rent Per Square Foot of the Leased Premises shall be increased by four percent (4%) on the dates set forth in the chart contained in paragraph 3 above.

partially occupied by Tenant that may become available during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof (“Expansion Space”). Such right excludes uses by Landlord and its affiliates. Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of any Expansion Space that is anticipated to become available and the anticipated date of availability, Tenant shall have five (5) business days to provide written notice to Landlord that Tenant intends to accept the Expansion Space. If Tenant provides notice to Landlord that it desires to accept or lease the Expansion Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease to incorporate the Expansion space upon it becoming available. The terms for the Lease of the Expansion Space shall be the then current market rate (for comparable buildings in the general vicinity of the Building) but no less then the then current rental rate applicable under this Lease.

9. The Additional Premises shall be provided to the Tenant in its “as is, where is” condition, and the Landlord shall have no obligation to make any repairs or improvements to the Additional Premises and all such repairs and improvements shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Tenant. In addition, the Landlord agrees that the Tenant may use the modular furniture and certain other furniture as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto (“Landlord’s Furniture”), currently located in the Additional Premises. The right to use the Landlord’s Furniture is being provided to the Tenant as a courtesy by the Landlord and the Tenant accepts the Landlord’s Furniture in its “as is, where is” condition. At the expiration of the term of the Lease, the Landlord’s Furniture shall be returned to the Landlord in its condition as of the Effective Date of this Amendment, normal wear and tear accepted. Finally, the Landlord acknowledges and consents to the construction of a dividing wall in the Additional Premises so as to convert a conference room into two (2) smaller offices. All such construction activity shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and shall be performed subject to proper building permits by Signet Construction Company, Inc. No other modifications to the improvements contained within the Additional Premises shall be made without the written consent of the Landlord and, further, shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease.

10. The Lease is otherwise ratified and reaffirmed in all respects and all terms and conditions thereof, unless otherwise modified by this Amendment, are in full force and effect. If there are any conflicts between the terms of the Lease and this Amendment, then this Amendment shall control.

11. Unless otherwise stated herein, all terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment.

3 of 6

12. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts all of which when taken together shall constitute one amendment binding on all parties, signatories of the original or any counterpart. Each party shall become bound by this Amendment immediately upon fixing its signature thereto independently of the signature of the other party.
