SUBLEASE
THIS SUBLEASE is made and entered into as of this 1ST day of May, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) by and between MANUGISTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation, hereinafter called “Sublessor,” and EFJ, Inc., a Delaware corporation, hereinafter called “Subtenant.”
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, by Office Lease dated December 19, 2000, as modified by First Amendment to Lease dated June 14, 2001 (the “First Amendment”), Second Amendment to Lease dated March 24, 2003, and Third Amendment to Office Lease dated July 20, 2004 (collectively, the “Prime Lease”), HRPT Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment fund (“Prime Landlord”) (successor-in-interest to JOHN F. JAEGER, TRUSTEE) leased to Sublessor approximately 282,783 square feet of rentable area (the “Prime Lease Premises”) being the entire rentable area of Buildings 1, 2 and 3 (said Buildings collectively referred to as the “Project”) of the Danac Stiles Corporate Office Campus (the “Park”) at the intersection of Great Seneca Highway and Key West Avenue, at the rent and upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prime Lease; and
WHEREAS, Subtenant desires to sublet from Sublessor a portion of the Prime Lease Premises;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1. Premises.
A. Sublessor hereby leases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby leases from Sublessor, for the term and upon the conditions hereinafter provided, a total of approximately 17,482 square feet of rentable area on the fifth (5th) floor (the “Premises”), in Building 1, situated at 9715 Key West Avenue, Rockville, Maryland (the “Building”). The Premises are shown on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Building and the land upon which it is situated is referred to as the “Property”. Subtenant shall also be entitled to the use of the exterior portions of the Park to the same extent as Sublessor’s rights thereto under the Prime Lease.
Subtenant accepts possession of the Premises in such condition existing on the date possession is delivered to Subtenant without requiring any alterations, improvements or decorations to be made by Sublessor or at Sublessor’s expense. Except as clearly and expressly provided in this Sublease, no representation or warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, has been made or is made, and no responsibility has been or is assumed, by Sublessor or by any member, person, firm, agent or representative acting or purporting to act on behalf of Sublessor, as to the condition of the Premises, Building or Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
B. Sublessor hereby licenses to Subtenant the furniture, fixtures, equipment and cabling specified on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Licensed FF&E”), for the Term and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Sublease. Sublessor shall have the option to transfer ownership of the furniture within the Premises to the Subtenant at the expiration of the Sublease, subject to Sublessor’s approval.
C. Commencing on July 1, 2008 (the “Expansion Commencement Date”), Subtenant shall sublease the additional 9,214 square feet of rentable area adjacent to the Premises, as shown on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (the “Additional Space”). As of the Expansion Commencement Date, (i) all references herein to the Premises shall include the initial Premises and the Additional Space, for a total rentable area of 26,696 rentable square feet, and all terms and conditions of this Sublease applicable to the initial Premises thereafter shall be applicable to the Additional Space as well; (ii) the calculation of Monthly Rent pursuant to Section 4 below shall be adjusted to include both the initial Premises and the Additional Space; and (iii) Subtenant’s Share referenced in Section 6.A shall be recalculated to be 9.44%.
2. Term.
A. The term of this Sublease shall commence on the later of May 1, 2007, or the date that: (1) this Sublease is fully executed by Sublessor and Subtenant; and (2) the Prime Landlord has consented to this Sublease pursuant to the Sublease Consent described below, and such Sublease Consent has been delivered to Sublessor (the “Commencement Date”). The term of this Sublease shall expire on May 31, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”). The term of this Sublease and any extensions thereof shall be referred to as the “Term”. Simultaneously with execution of this Sublease by Subtenant, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublessor the Sublease Consent (as hereinafter defined). The “Sublease Consent” means a separate agreement between Sublessor, Subtenant, and Prime Landlord in the form of Exhibit C attached to this Sublease, under which Prime Landlord consents to this Sublease, waives its right of recapture in connection therewith, and consents to Subtenant’s use.
B. Upon the parties’ full and final execution of this Sublease and the Prime Landlord’s approval hereof, and up to delivery of the Premises, Subtenant shall, upon reasonable notice to Sublessor, be permitted to access the Premises at reasonable times during normal business hours defined in Section 15(A) for the purpose of arranging for installation of cable and telephone lines and equipment, fixtures, furniture and other work, as long as Subtenant does not in any way interfere with Sublessor’s construction activities at the Building or Property.
C. The “Rent Commencement Date” shall be August 1, 2007 with respect to 17,482 rentable square feet. When Subtenant accepts possession of the Premises, Sublessor and Subtenant shall execute the “Declaration as to Date of Delivery and Acceptance of Possession of Premises,” attached hereto as Exhibit D, which shall specify the Commencement Date.
3. Use.
A. Subtenant shall use and occupy the Premises solely for general office and administrative purposes and all other lawful purposes in connection with Subtenant’s intended use, subject to and in accordance with the Prime Lease and all applicable zoning and other governmental regulations. Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises shall be consistent with such use in other Class A buildings in Rockville, Maryland. Subtenant shall not use or occupy the Premises for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that will violate the certificate of
- 2 -
occupancy for the Premises and/or the Building or that will constitute waste, nuisance or unreasonable annoyance to Sublessor or other tenants or users of the Park. Subtenant shall comply with all present and future laws (including court orders and judicial decisions), ordinances (including zoning ordinances and land use requirements), regulations and orders (including those made by any public or private agency having authority over insurance rates) (collectively, “Laws”) concerning the use, occupancy and condition of the Premises and all equipment, furnishings and improvements therein. If any Law requires an occupancy or use permit or license for the Premises or the operation of any business conducted therein, Subtenant at its expense shall obtain and keep current such permit or license and shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to Sublessor.
B. Subtenant shall pay, before delinquency, any franchise, business, rent or other taxes that are now or hereafter levied, assessed or imposed upon Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, the conduct of Subtenant’s business at the Premises, or Subtenant’s equipment, fixtures, furnishings, inventory or personal property. If any such taxes are enacted, changed or altered so that any of such taxes are levied against Sublessor, or the mode of collection of such taxes is changed so that Sublessor is responsible for collection or payment of such taxes, then Subtenant shall pay as additional rent due hereunder the amount of any and all such taxes.
C. Subtenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as defined in this Section 3.C) to be generated, used, released, stored or disposed of in or about the Park; provided, however, that Subtenant may use and store reasonable quantities of such materials as may be necessary for Subtenant to conduct normal general office operations in the Premises, so long as (i) such use and storage complies with all Laws, (ii) prior to such use and storage, Subtenant provides Sublessor and Prime Landlord with all applicable Material Safety Data Sheets required by any governmental agency, and (iii) Subtenant complies with all provisions of the Prime Lease with respect thereto. “Hazardous Materials” shall mean (a) “hazardous wastes,” as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended from time to time, (b) “hazardous substances,” as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, (c) “toxic substances,” as defined by the Toxic Substances Control Act, as amended from time to time, (d) “hazardous materials,” as defined by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended from time to time, (e) oil or other petroleum products, (f) chlorofluorocarbons, and (g) any substance whose presence could be detrimental to any portion of the Park or hazardous to health or the environment. Subtenant shall promptly remediate in compliance with all Laws any disposal, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials within or from the Premises and, to the extent caused by Subtenant, its agents, employees, invitees and any party claiming by, through or under Subtenant, any disposal, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials outside of the Premises, provided that Subtenant shall deliver to Sublessor and Prime Landlord no less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the intended remediation (including the intended method of remediation and such further information as Prime Landlord and/or Sublessor shall reasonably request), and Prime Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Sublessor and Subtenant, to itself perform, or cause to be performed, such remediation, and Subtenant shall reimburse Prime Landlord for the actual cost incurred by Prime Landlord in connection with such remediation.
- 3 -
4. Rent.
A. Subtenant covenants and agrees to pay to Sublessor rent of any kind or nature specified in this Sublease, including Monthly Rent (as defined in Section 4.C) and additional rent (as defined in Section 4.D). Subtenant’s obligation to pay rent shall begin on the Rent Commencement Date and shall accrue until this Sublease expires or is terminated in accordance with its terms, and all rent so accruing shall continue to remain an obligation of Subtenant until completely satisfied.
B. Subtenant shall make all payments of rent by check, payable to Sublessor and delivered to c/o Manugistics, Inc., 14400 N. 87th Street, Scottsdale, Arizona ###-###-####, Attention: Accounts Receivable , or to such other party or to such other address as Sublessor may designate from time to time by written notice to Subtenant, without demand and without deduction, set-off or counterclaim. If Sublessor at any time or times accepts rent after it is due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse delay upon subsequent occasions, or constitute, or be construed as, a waiver of any or all of Sublessor’s rights hereunder.
C. The base annual rent for the Premises, as of the Rent Commencement Date, calculated at Twenty-Two and 75/100 Dollars per Rentable Square Foot ($22.75/RSF), shall be Three Hundred Ninety-Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Fifteen and 52/ 100ths Dollars ($397,715.52) payable in equal monthly installments of Thirty-Three Thousand One Hundred Forty-Two and 96/100ths Dollars ($33,142.96) each (“Monthly Rent”), subject however to adjustment as provided in Section 7. The term “Monthly Rent” is deemed to mean Monthly Rent as adjusted pursuant to Section 7. On the Expansion Commencement Date, the monthly installments of base annual rent shall increase to Fifty Thousand Six Hundred Eleven and 17/100ths Dollars ($50,611.17) each, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.
D. Monthly Rent as specified above shall be payable in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, provided that the first full calendar months’ rent shall be paid simultaneously with the execution of this Sublease by Subtenant. In addition, if the Rent Commencement Date, and therefore the obligation under this Sublease to pay Monthly Rent hereunder, begins on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then on the Rent Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor Monthly Rent from the Rent Commencement Date until the first day of the following calendar month, prorated at the rate of one-thirtieth (1/30th) of Monthly Rent for each day of that month from and including the Rent Commencement Date. Subtenant shall also pay to Sublessor with the payment of Monthly Rent such payments of additional rent provided for in Section 6. All sums, charges, expenses and costs due hereunder by Subtenant (other than Monthly Rent), including without limitation charges for additional services provided by Sublessor at Subtenant’s request, shall constitute “additional rent” under this Sublease.
E. If Subtenant fails to make any payment of Monthly Rent, additional rent or any other sum due hereunder within five days after the date such payment is due and payable (without regard to any grace period specified in Section 23), then Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor, as additional rent upon demand, a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount not timely paid, together with interest on such payment and late fee at the Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined), accruing from the date such installment or payment was due and payable to the date of payment thereof by Subtenant.
- 4 -
5. Deposit.
Simultaneously with execution of this Sublease by Subtenant, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublessor the sum of Fifty Thousand Six Hundred Eleven and 17/100ths Dollars ($50,611.17) (the “Security Deposit”), in the form of cash or a Letter of Credit reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor, as security for the payment and performance by Subtenant of all of Subtenant’s obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements under this Sublease. If an Event of Default occurs, Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Monthly Rent or additional rent in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Sublessor may become obligated to pay hereunder, or which Sublessor may incur, by reason of Subtenant’s default. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Subtenant shall upon demand deposit cash with Sublessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount set forth above. Sublessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. If Subtenant defaults under this Sublease, the Security Deposit shall not be deemed liquidated damages and Sublessor may apply the Security Deposit to reduce Sublessor’s damages, and such application of the Security Deposit shall not preclude Sublessor from recovering from Subtenant all additional damages incurred by Sublessor. The Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Subtenant (or at Sublessor’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Subtenant’s interest hereunder) within sixty (60) days after the later of (i) the last day of the Term, (ii) the date Subtenant vacated the Premises, or (iii) the date Subtenant has fulfilled all of its obligations hereunder.
No trust relationship is created between Sublessor and Subtenant regarding the Security Deposit. Subtenant shall not look to any Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) or successor in title to the Premises for accountability for the Security Deposit unless the Security Deposit has actually been received by said Mortgagee or successor in title as security for Subtenant’s performance under this Sublease. Sublessor may deliver the Security Deposit to any purchaser of Sublessor’s interest in the Premises, and thereupon Sublessor shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit. The term “Mortgagee” as used in this Sublease, shall be the party having the benefit of a Mortgage (as hereinafter defined) and shall include a mortgagee-in-possession. The term “Mortgage” as used in this Sublease shall mean any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, Building or Project, and all renewals, extensions, modifications, recastings or refinancings thereof.
6. Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes.
A. If OE/Tax Rent (as hereinafter defined) during any calendar year exceeds the amount of OE/Tax Rent during calendar year 2008, then commencing on January 1, 2009, Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor, as additional rent under this Sublease, an amount not to exceed 6.18% (“Subtenant’s Share”) of the amount of additional rent Sublessor is obligated to pay pursuant to Article 5 of the Prime Lease (the “OE/Tax Rent”).
- 5 -
B. Commencing with calendar year 2009, and at the beginning of each year thereafter, Sublessor shall submit to Subtenant a copy of Prime Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses for such year, as received by Sublessor pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall make monthly installment payments on account of Subtenant’s Share of OE/Tax Rent on an estimated basis, based on Prime Landlord’s estimate (including any Mid-Year Adjustment, as defined in Article 5 of the Prime Lease, as applicable). Each monthly installment shall be due on the first (1st) day of the month, commencing on the first (1st) day of the month following the date which is thirty (30) days after Sublessor delivers Prime Landlord’s estimate to Subtenant. Simultaneously with the payment set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Subtenant shall remit to Sublessor a sum equal to any shortage of the amount which should have been paid to date for the then current calendar year based on the Prime Landlord’s estimate.
C. Sublessor shall submit to Subtenant a copy of each annual reconciliation statement received from Prime Landlord pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Prime Lease, together with a similar statement with respect to Subtenant’s Share of OE/Tax Rent. If the statement indicates an overpayment, Sublessor shall refund the excess, without interest, to Subtenant with delivery of the statement, or shall credit the excess against the next installment(s) of Rent due under this Sublease. With respect to any annual reconciliation statement, Sublessor, at Subtenant’s request, shall exercise its rights to inspect and/or audit Prime Landlord’s books and records pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Prime Lease, on Subtenant’s behalf and at Subtenant’s risk, but only so long as Subtenant delivers to Sublessor written notice of the action(s) Subtenant desires Sublessor to take under the Prime Lease within ninety (90) days after Sublessor delivers to Subtenant such annual reconciliation statement. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublessor, as additional rent hereunder payable within thirty (30) days after Sublessor delivers a statement therefor, for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Sublessor in connection with any such inspection and dispute on Subtenant’s behalf.
7. Rent Escalation.
Commencing on the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each anniversary of the Commencement Date thereafter during the Term (each of such dates being herein referred to as an “Adjustment Date”), Monthly Rent shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (i) the Monthly Rent in effect immediately prior to the Adjustment Date (ignoring any rental concessions or abatements then in effect) and (ii) one hundred three percent (103%). The Monthly Rent, as adjusted, shall be due and payable as of such Adjustment Date and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter until the next Adjustment Date or the end of the Term, whichever is applicable.
8. Assignment and Subletting.
A. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.E below, Subtenant may not assign or otherwise transfer this Sublease, or sublet (which for purposes of this Sublease is defined to include permitting occupancy or use by another party, whether by license, concession, occupancy agreement or otherwise) the Premises, or any part thereof, or extend the term of any subletting or occupancy agreement, or materially amend or modify the terms of any assignment, transfer, subletting or other occupancy agreement (collectively, a “Transfer”) without giving Sublessor thirty (30) days prior written notice (“Transfer Notice”) of such proposed Transfer. If
- 6 -
Subtenant seeks to sublet a part of the Premises (the “Sublet Portion”), the Transfer Notice shall also identify the area of the proposed Sublet Portion. Except as set forth in Section 8.E below, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Recapture Period”), Sublessor shall have the option (a) to terminate this Sublease, if Subtenant desires to assign this Sublease, or (b) to terminate this Sublease with regard to the Sublet Portion, in either event by giving Subtenant written notice of its election to exercise the option (“Recapture Notice”) within the Recapture Period.
The effective date of termination shall be the proposed Transfer commencement/effective date as stated in the Transfer Notice. If the Transfer Notice does not set forth a commencement/effective date, then the termination date or sublease commencement date shall be the date that is sixty (60) days after the date Sublessor delivers the Recapture Notice. Upon termination, all of the rights and obligations of Sublessor and Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease shall be terminated, or terminated with regard to the Sublet Portion, except that Subtenant shall continue to be obligated to pay rent and all other charges for the Premises, or the Sublet Portion, which accrue to the date of termination.
If Sublessor does not exercise its option to terminate, in whole or in part, Subtenant may assign this Sublease or sublet the Premises (or the Sublet Portion, as applicable) within one hundred eighty (180) days after expiration of the Recapture Period. Subtenant shall be required however to obtain Prime Landlord and Sublessor’s prior written consent to (i) any assignee or any subtenant (which for purposes of this Sublease is defined to include any licensee, occupant or other user), and (ii) the form of documentation implementing such assignment or subletting. For any proposed Transfer, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublessor a written request for consent, which request shall set forth the proposed transferee, commencement date, term and rent for the proposed Transfer, and financial statements for the proposed transferee. Subtenant shall upon request provide Sublessor with such other information as Sublessor may reasonably require in connection with the proposed Transfer. Sublessor’s consent to any assignee or subtenant shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and it shall not be deemed unreasonable for Sublessor to withhold consent to any proposed assignee or subtenant which is a competitor of Sublessor, based on the proposed size or configuration of the space to be subleased, the intended use of the space or the frequency or volume of visitors a proposed subtenant or assignee may have. If Subtenant fails to present to Sublessor any sublease or assignment agreement, fully executed by the parties thereto, within said one hundred eighty (180) day period, Subtenant may not assign this Sublease or sublet the Premises without first affording Sublessor the option to terminate as set forth above in this Section 8.
B. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublessor, as additional rent due and payable within thirty (30) days after Sublessor delivers a statement, for all actual, reasonable and customary expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, which Sublessor incurs by reason of or in connection with any Transfer (whether or not permitted under this Sublease), and all negotiations and actions with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses which Sublessor is required to pay to Prime Landlord under Section 10.6 of the Prime Lease.
C. No Transfer shall be effected by operation of law without the prior written consent of Prime Landlord in accordance with the provisions of the Prime Lease and Sublessor,
- 7 -
which consent may be withheld in Sublessor’s sole and absolute discretion. For the purposes of this Sublease, the transfer and/or issuance of fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership voting interest of Subtenant, if Subtenant is not a publicly held corporation, to any persons or entities that are not owners of Subtenant on the date of this Sublease, shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease thereby giving Sublessor the option to terminate this Sublease as provided above.
D. If a Transfer occurs (whether by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation an assignment pursuant to the provisions of the federal bankruptcy or any other bankruptcy or insolvency laws), Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium. “Transfer Premium” shall mean (A) all rent, additional rent, payments or other consideration for such Transfer, in excess of (B) the sum of (i) the rental and other charges due under this Sublease during the term of the Transfer, and (ii) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Subtenant to obtain the Transfer (including brokerage commissions, construction costs or allowances, and other concessions granted to the subtenant or assignee). Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor any Transfer Premium, as additional rent hereunder, no later than ten (10) business days after receipt thereof by Subtenant. Acceptance by Sublessor of any payments due hereunder shall not be deemed to constitute approval by Sublessor of any Transfer, nor shall such acceptance waive any rights of Sublessor hereunder. Not more than one time per year (except if an Event of Default occurs, such limitation shall not apply), Sublessor shall have the right to inspect and audit Subtenant’s books and records relating to any Transfer. If Subtenant proposes to include any Licensed FF&E with a Transfer, Sublessor shall have the option to revoke the license with respect to such portion of the Licensed FF&E proposed to be included and remove such portion of the Licensed FF&E from the Premises.
E. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, if Subtenant proposes a Transfer to a Related Party (as hereinafter defined), then Sublessor shall not be entitled to deliver a Recapture Notice with respect to such Transfer, nor shall Sublessor be entitled to a Transfer Premium with respect to such Transfer. All other terms and conditions of this Section 8 (including without limitation the requirement to obtain Sublessor’s consent as provided in Section 8.A above) shall apply to such Transfer. For purposes hereof, a “Related Party” shall mean an entity which is not a direct competitor of Sublessor, and which is a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Subtenant, any corporation or other entity into or with which Subtenant may be merged or consolidated, or a corporation or other entity purchasing all or substantially all of Subtenant’s assets or ownership interests. A Related Party which is a successor association (or other successor entity) to Subtenant shall assume Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease and shall have a net worth at least equal to that of Subtenant on the date hereof.
F. The consent by Sublessor to any Transfer shall not be construed as either a consent to any further Transfer or a waiver or release of Subtenant from the terms of any covenant or obligation under this Sublease, and Subtenant shall remain fully liable as a primary obligor for the payment of all rent and other charges payable by Subtenant under this Sublease and for the performance of all other obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease. Subtenant’s liability as primary obligor under this Sublease after any assignment of this Sublease shall not be released, discharged or terminated or in any way affected by any circumstance or condition including without limitation (a) any amendment or modification of this Sublease, (b) any extension of time for performance under this Sublease, (c) any waiver, consent, indulgence or other action, inaction or omission under this Sublease, (d) any insolvency or bankruptcy of the
- 8 -
assignee, (e) any release of a party or collateral, failure to pursue any party or failure to perfect a lien on any collateral, or (f) any suretyship defense. Sublessor’s collection or acceptance of rent from any assignee of Subtenant shall not constitute a waiver or release of Subtenant of any covenant or obligation contained in this Sublease, nor shall any such Transfer be construed to relieve Subtenant from complying with the provisions of this Section 8 with respect to any further Transfer. If Subtenant is in monetary default of any term or provision of this Sublease, Subtenant hereby assigns to Sublessor the rent due from any subtenant of Subtenant and hereby authorizes and directs each such subtenant, upon notice from Sublessor, to pay said rent directly to Sublessor, the collection or acceptance of rent from any subtenant in such instance not to constitute a waiver or release of Subtenant of any covenant or obligation contained in this Sublease.
G. Subtenant may not mortgage or encumber this Sublease, without the prior written consent of Sublessor which consent may be withheld in Sublessor’s sole and absolute discretion.
H. In addition to the provisions of this Section 8, Subtenant shall obtain all required consents under, and comply with all provisions of, the Prime Lease with respect to assignment and subletting.
9. Alterations.
Sublessor agrees to perform the Work described on Exhibit F attached hereto prior to the Commencement Date, and Sublessor shall not be obligated to make any other Alterations to the Premises.
Subtenant shall make no alterations, modifications, installations, additions or improvements (hereinafter collectively called “Alterations”) in or to the Premises or the Building without the prior written consent of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease and Sublessor. If any Alterations are made without the prior written consent of Sublessor, Sublessor may correct or remove the same, and Subtenant shall be liable for any and all expenses incurred by Sublessor therefor.
All Alterations shall be made at Subtenant’s sole expense, at such times and in such manner as Sublessor may reasonably designate and only by such contractors or mechanics as are approved in writing by Sublessor, and in all cases, subject to Prime Landlord’s approval under the Prime Lease. Approval of contractors or mechanics by Sublessor, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, shall be based upon the contractors or mechanics being properly licensed, their financial posture, experience and past job performance. Each contractor and mechanic performing Alterations shall, prior to entry onto the Premises, deliver to Sublessor reasonably satisfactory evidence that it is licensed in the State of Maryland as a contractor, and is currently maintaining the insurance required by Section 20. All Alterations shall be commenced promptly, performed in accordance with approved plans and specifications, and diligently prosecuted to completion. Upon substantial completion of any Alterations, Subtenant shall provide to Sublessor completion affidavits, “as-built” plans, receipted bills covering all labor and materials, and a properly executed waiver and release of liens, in form approved by Sublessor, from each contractor, mechanic and materialman who has provided materials or services in connection with such Alterations.
- 9 -
All Alterations to the Premises, whether made by Sublessor or Subtenant, and whether at Sublessor’s or Subtenant’s expense shall, during the Term be the property of Subtenant and upon expiration or termination of the Term, become the property of Sublessor, except as required to be removed (to the extent applicable) pursuant to Section 11.
Subtenant shall remove all of Subtenant’s personal property and trade fixtures at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. If Subtenant does not remove Subtenant’s personal property or trade fixtures at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such property shall become the property of Sublessor. If Subtenant fails to remove its personal property or trade fixtures or the Alterations required to be removed (to the extent applicable) pursuant to Section 11 on or before the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then Sublessor, after not less than three days’ notice to Subtenant, may remove such personal property, trade fixtures and Alterations from the Premises at Subtenant’s expense, and Subtenant hereby agrees to pay to Sublessor, as additional rent, the cost of such removal, together with any and all actual damages sustained by Sublessor directly resulting from Subtenant’s failure to remove same. Said amount of additional rent shall be due and payable upon receipt by Subtenant of a written statement of costs and actual damages from Sublessor.
In addition to the provisions of this Section 9, Subtenant shall obtain all required consents under, and comply with all provisions of, the Prime Lease with respect to Alterations. During the Term, Sublessor shall cooperate with Subtenant to obtain the timely review and decision of Prime Landlord with respect to Subtenant’s proposed Alterations.
10. Liens.
If any lien is filed against the Premises or the Property for work, labor, services, or materials done for or supplied to or claimed to have been done or supplied to Subtenant, such lien shall be discharged by Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, within ten (10) business days after the date Subtenant receives written demand from Sublessor to discharge said lien, by the payment thereof or by filing any bond required by law. If Subtenant fails to discharge any such lien, Sublessor may, at its option, discharge the same and treat the cost thereof as additional rent, due and payable upon receipt by Subtenant of a written statement of costs from Sublessor. Such discharge of any lien by Sublessor shall not be deemed to waive or release Subtenant from its default for failing to discharge same.
11. Repairs and Maintenance.
Subtenant shall maintain the Premises in good order, repair and condition, and in compliance with Laws, ordinary wear and tear and damage from casualty not required to be insured by Subtenant or condemnation excepted, subject to the performance of the maintenance obligations of Prime Landlord under Section 12 of the Prime Lease. In making repairs and replacements, Subtenant shall use materials equal in kind and quality to the original work, and shall comply with the provisions of Section 9. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Subtenant, at its expense, shall remove all Alterations to the Premises required by Prime
- 10 -
Landlord to be removed (including without limitation cabling) and Subtenant agrees, at Sublessor’s election, (A) to repair any damage to the Building caused by said removal and to restore the Premises to the condition of the Premises prior to installation of the Alterations, or (B) to pay Sublessor, as additional rent, for all expenses incurred by Sublessor to undertake such repairs and restoration. Subtenant shall insure, maintain, repair and replace the Licensed FF&E as prudent to keep it in good condition and repair, and shall surrender the Licensed FF&E (including any replacements) to Sublessor at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, in substantially the same order and condition as it was on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear and condemnation excepted. Subtenant shall not remove any of the Licensed FF&E from the Premises without the prior written consent of Sublessor and Sublessor shall be entitled to condition its approval on Sublessor’s agreement to store such Licensed FF&E with a company designated by Sublessor. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1 hereof, all storage costs for the removed Licensed FF&E shall be paid by Subtenant.
To the extent Subtenant’s use or uses of the Premises or Subtenant’s manner of operation creates a need or requirement under applicable statute, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority (including, without limitation, the ADA) to modify or alter the Premises, supporting facilities, or access thereto, or the manner of operation, maintenance and repair thereof, Subtenant shall be fully responsible for the expense to undertake such changes, and to obtain approval from Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease and Sublessor pursuant to Section 9 to undertake such changes.
12. Signs and Advertisements.
No sign, advertisement or notice (including without limitation those of a temporary nature) shall be inscribed, painted, affixed or displayed on any part of the outside or inside of the Building, except with Prime Landlord’s and Sublessor’s prior written consent (which consent of Sublessor shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and then only in such place, number, size, color and style (i.e., Building standard lettering) as is authorized by Prime Landlord and Sublessor. If any such sign, advertisement or notice is exhibited without first obtaining Prime Landlord’s and Sublessor’s written consent, Prime Landlord and Sublessor shall have the right, after five (5) business days’ notice, to remove the violating signage, and Subtenant shall reimburse Prime Landlord or Sublessor, as applicable, as additional rent due and payable within thirty (30) days after delivery of a statement, for all reasonable, actual expenses incurred by Prime Landlord or Sublessor, as applicable, therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, Sublessor, at Sublessor’s expense, shall display the name of Subtenant in the directory located in the lobby of Building 2 for the benefit of Subtenant, subject to the approval of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease and in full compliance with all applicable laws and codes. Subject to Sublessor’s reasonable approval, Subtenant shall have the right, at Subtenant’s expense, to install Subtenant’s trade name on its Suite Entry door. In addition, Subtenant shall have the right, at Subtenant’s cost and expense, and subject to the approval of Prime Landlord, to display a banner consistent with the existing banners in the lobby of Building 2.
- 11 -
13. Deliveries and Moving of Subtenant’s Property.
All moving of furniture, equipment and other material within the exterior public areas of the Property shall be under the direct reasonable control and supervision of Sublessor who shall, however, not be responsible for any damage to or charges for moving the same. Any special arrangements for the moving of Subtenant’s furniture, equipment or other material shall be at Subtenant’s expense. Subtenant shall remove promptly from the public areas of the Property any furniture, equipment or other property of Subtenant.
14. Equipment.
A. Subtenant shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Sublessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Prime Landlord (pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease) install any equipment, which requires electricity consumption in excess of the capacity of the electrical system serving the Premises. If any or all of Subtenant’s equipment requires electricity consumption in excess of the capacity of the electrical system serving the Premises, all additional transformers, distribution panels and wiring that may be required to provide the amount of electricity required for Subtenant’s equipment shall be installed by Subtenant at its expense, in accordance with the requirements of Prime Landlord (pursuant to the Prime Lease) and the reasonable requirements of Sublessor.
B. Subtenant shall not install any equipment, which will or may necessitate any changes, replacements or additions to, or in the use of, the Building systems, without obtaining the prior written consent of Sublessor and Prime Landlord. If any equipment causes noise or vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the Building or to any other space in the Building, Subtenant at its expense shall install such equipment on vibration eliminators or other devices sufficient to eliminate such noise and vibration.
C. Sublessor shall have the right to reasonably prescribe the weight and position of all heavy equipment and fixtures, including, but not limited to, data processing equipment, record and file systems, and safes which Subtenant intends to install or locate within the Premises. Subtenant shall obtain Sublessor’s and Prime Landlord’s prior review and approval before installing or locating heavy equipment and fixtures in the Premises, and if installation or location of such equipment or fixtures, in Sublessor’s opinion, requires structural modifications or reinforcement of any portion of the Premises or the Building, then Sublessor shall notify Subtenant in advance (prior to making any structural modification or reinforcement) and if Subtenant does not elect to relocate or change such equipment or fixtures, then Sublessor shall make such modifications or reinforcements and Subtenant shall reimburse Sublessor, as additional rent due and payable within thirty (30) days after Sublessor delivers a statement, for all expenses incurred by Sublessor to make such required modifications or reinforcements, and Subtenant shall not install such equipment or fixtures until such modifications or reinforcements have been completed.
15. Service and Utilities.
A. Subtenant shall be entitled, without charge (other than OE/Tax Rent), to the services and utilities provided by Prime Landlord in the Building pursuant to Article 8 of the
- 12 -
Prime Lease, including without limitation HVAC service and janitorial service. Building hours are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, other than holidays observed by the federal government, and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays. For use of the HVAC system at times other than Building hours, Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor, as additional rent, Sixty Dollars ($60.00) per hour. Sublessor and Subtenant will agree to mutually work together to determine the feasibility of submetering the Premises for HVAC purposes, and Subtenant agrees that if Sublessor reasonably determines that such submetering is feasible and Sublessor elects to do so, then the submeter shall be installed at Subtenant’s expense, and Subtenant shall pay all electrical utility costs specific to the Premises in accordance with the measurements established by the submeter.
B. No interruptions, curtailments, stoppages or suspensions of services, utilities or systems shall render Sublessor liable in any respect for damages to either person or property nor shall the same be the basis (i) for any abatement, reduction or rebate of rent or any other sums payable by Subtenant to Sublessor hereunder, (ii) for relieving Subtenant from any of Subtenant’s obligations hereunder, or (iii) for any claim by Subtenant that Subtenant has been constructively evicted or disturbed or interfered with Subtenant’s use, possession or enjoyment of the Premises. To the extent Sublessor is entitled to an abatement of rent with respect to some or all of the Premises pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall be entitled to a corresponding abatement of Monthly Rent and OE/Tax Rent hereunder.
16. Subtenant’s Responsibility for Damage.
Any and all injury, breakage or damage to the Premises or the Building caused by Subtenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, or by individuals making deliveries to or from the Premises (except as required hereunder to be insured by Sublessor, or for which Prime Landlord is responsible under the Prime Lease), shall be repaired by Sublessor at the sole expense of Subtenant. Payment of the cost of such repairs by Subtenant shall be due as additional rent with the next installment of Monthly Rent after Subtenant receives a bill for such repairs from Sublessor. This provision shall not be in limitation of any other rights and remedies which Sublessor has or may have in such circumstances. Sublessor shall repair at its own cost any such damage caused by Sublessor, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, or by individuals making deliveries to Sublessor.
17. Right of Entry.
Subtenant shall permit Sublessor, its agents, employees and contractors, with twenty four (24) hours’ prior notice to Subtenant, to enter the Premises at all reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, without charge to Sublessor or diminution of rent payable by Subtenant, to examine, inspect and protect the Building and to make such repairs as in the judgment of Sublessor may be deemed necessary to maintain or protect the Building, tenant improvements or the Licensed FF&E. Sublessor shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference to Subtenant’s business when making repairs and shall perform any such work in a good and workmanlike manner without damaging Subtenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, or improvements, but, other than core drilling or similarly disruptive work, Sublessor shall not be required to perform the repairs at a time other than during normal business hours.
- 13 -
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency, Sublessor may enter the Premises without notice and make whatever repairs are necessary to protect the Building.
Subtenant shall permit Sublessor, its agents, employees and contractors, upon no less than five (5) days’ prior written notice to Subtenant, to enter the Premises at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, without charge to Sublessor or diminution of rent payable by Subtenant, to make installations related to the construction of tenant work being performed by Sublessor for other tenants of the Building; to make repairs, alterations and improvements in connection with areas adjoining the Premises; to erect, use and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the Premises; or to make installations, improvements and repairs to utility services of the Building located in or about the Premises. Sublessor shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Subtenant’s business operations, and shall conduct such work in a careful manner so as not to damage the Premises or any of Subtenant’s personal property, equipment, trade fixtures, inventory or other property in the Premises, but, other than core drilling or similarly disruptive work, Sublessor shall not be required to perform the work at a time other than during normal business hours.
Subtenant acknowledges that Prime Landlord, its agents and contractors shall have the same right of entry afforded to Sublessor hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 17.
18. Indemnity.
Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Prime Landlord, Sublessor and their respective agents, employees, officers, directors, affiliates, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, successors, assigns and contractors (collectively, “Sublessor Parties”) harmless and defend Sublessor Parties from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, expenses, fees (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is filed), liability, loss or suit (collectively, “Claims”) arising from any act or omission by Subtenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees which gives rise to Sublessor’s obligation to indemnify Prime Landlord pursuant to Section 21.1 of the Prime Lease.
Subject to the provisions of Section 19.B of this Sublease, Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublessor Parties harmless and defend Sublessor Parties from and against any and all Claims arising from or related to (a) the negligence or willful misconduct or other wrongful acts or omissions of Subtenant, its agents, employees or contractors, other than to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor, (b) any breach of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, (c) any inspection or audit at Subtenant’s request pursuant to Section 6 of this Sublease, and (d) any actions by Sublessor pursuant to Section 25.B or Section 26.D of this Sublease.
Subject to the provisions of Section 19.B of this Sublease, Sublessor shall indemnify and hold Subtenant, its agents, employees, officers, directors and contractors (collectively “Subtenant Parties”) harmless and defend Subtenant Parties from and against any and all Claims arising from (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor, its agents, employees or contractors, except where caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant, (b) any breach of Sublessor’s obligations under this Sublease, and (c) any activities of Sublessor in the Premises pursuant to the third (3rd) paragraph of Section 17 of this Sublease.
- 14 -
The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term.
19. Insurance.
A. At all times during the Term, Subtenant shall carry and maintain, at Subtenant’s expense, (1) the insurance required to be maintained by Sublessor as tenant under the Prime Lease, and (2) all risk property insurance (on a full replacement cost basis) covering the Licensed FF&E.
B. Sublessor and Subtenant each hereby releases the other and waives any claims it now or hereafter may have against the other for loss or damage to the Building, Premises, tenant improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or any other personal property arising from a risk required to be insured against under the special form (all risk) property insurance policies to be carried by Sublessor and Subtenant, as required above, even though such loss or damage was caused by the negligence of Sublessor, Subtenant, or their respective agents or employees (or any combination thereof). Sublessor and Subtenant each agrees to obtain and maintain throughout the Term endorsements to its respective special form (all risk) property policy waiving the right of subrogation of its insurance company against the other party, its agents and employees.
20. Subtenant’s Contractor’s Insurance.
Subtenant at its expense shall require any contractor of Subtenant performing work in or Alterations to the Premises to carry and maintain:
A. commercial general liability insurance, including contractor’s liability coverage, blanket contractual liability coverage, completed operations/products liability coverage, broad form property damage endorsement and contractor’s protective liability coverage, personal injury, premises medical payments, interest of employees as additional insureds, incidental medical malpractice and broad form general liability endorsement, with a combined single limit per occurrence not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), including coverage for bodily injury, death, property damage and personal injury liability; such policy and certificates evidencing such insurance shall name Sublessor, Prime Landlord and any Mortgagee as additional insured parties;
B. worker’s compensation or similar insurance in form and amounts required by Law; and
C. full replacement cost builder’s risk coverage for the Alterations.
Such policies shall name Sublessor, Prime Landlord and any Mortgagee as additional insured parties; shall be non-cancelable without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Sublessor, and shall be in amounts and with companies reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor. Prior to commencement of any work or Alterations, Sublessor without liability to Subtenant or any other party may deny access to the Building to any contractor of Subtenant if Subtenant fails to provide Sublessor with such certificates.
- 15 -
21. Requirements for Subtenant’s Insurance Policies.
The company or companies writing any insurance which Subtenant is required to carry and maintain or cause to be carried or maintained pursuant to this Sublease as well as the form of such insurance shall at all times be subject to Sublessor’s approval and any such company or companies shall have a Best’s rating of no less than A/VIII and shall be licensed to do business in the State of Maryland. Subtenant’s commercial general liability and special form (all risk) property insurance policies and certificates evidencing such insurance shall name Sublessor, Prime Landlord and any Mortgagee of whom Subtenant has been given notice in writing as additional insured parties and shall also contain a provision by which the insurer agrees that such policy shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days written notice to Sublessor and Prime Landlord. Subtenant shall provide to Sublessor and Prime Landlord prior to taking possession of the Premises the certificates and a copy of the endorsements on the insurance policy evidencing such insurance and the additional insured status of Sublessor, Prime Landlord and any Mortgagee; Sublessor may withhold delivery of the Premises without delaying the Commencement Date, or triggering any abatement of rent, if Subtenant fails to provide Sublessor with such certificates. Sublessor makes no representation that the amount and types of insurance required under this Sublease are adequate to protect Subtenant against its obligations under this Sublease (including without limitation the indemnity set forth in Section 18 of this Sublease), or in its business operations at the Premises or otherwise. If Subtenant believes that the insurance coverage required by this Sublease is insufficient, Subtenant at its expense shall provide such additional insurance as Subtenant deems adequate.
Any insurance carried or to be carried by Subtenant hereunder shall be primary over any policy that might be carried by Sublessor or Prime Landlord. If Subtenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations regarding the acquisition and maintenance of insurance, Sublessor may perform the same and the cost of same shall be deemed additional rent, payable upon Sublessor’s demand. Sublessor shall have the right from time to time to increase the limits of Subtenant’s insurance hereunder so long as such limits are commercially reasonable and required by Prime Landlord.
22. Liability for Damage.
A. All property of Subtenant, its employees, agents, subtenants, invitees, licensees, customers, clients, family members or guests, in and on the Premises shall be and remain in and on the Premises and the Building at the sole risk of said parties and Sublessor shall not be liable to any such person or party for any damage to, or loss of personal property thereof, including but not limited to loss or damage arising from, (i) any act, including theft, or any failure to act, of any other persons, (ii) the leaking of the roof, (iii) the bursting, rupture, leaking or overflowing of water, sewer or steam pipes, (iv) the rupture or leaking of heating or plumbing fixtures, including access control systems, (v) short-circuiting or malfunction of electrical wires or fixtures, including security and protective systems or (vi) the failure of the heating or air-conditioning systems. Sublessor shall also not be liable for the interruption or loss to Subtenant’s business for any reason.
- 16 -
B. Sublessor shall not be liable to any party for any bodily injury or death in, on or about the Premises, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor, its agents, employees or contractors.
23. Default of Subtenant.
A. An “Event of Default” is: (a) Subtenant’s failure to make when due any payment of Monthly Rent, Subtenant’s Cost (as defined in Exhibit B), additional rent or other sum, if the failure continues for a period of five (5) business days after delivery to Subtenant of written notice thereof; (b) Subtenant’s failure to perform or observe any other covenant or condition of this Sublease, if the failure continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after delivery to Subtenant of written notice thereof (except that such fifteen (15) day period shall be extended for such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such failure [not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) days], only if such default by its nature cannot be cured within the fifteen (15) day period, and Subtenant is at all times diligently pursuing cure of same); (c) a Transfer in violation of Section 8 of this Sublease which is not rescinded within fifteen (15) days after delivery to Subtenant of written notice thereof; (d) Subtenant’s failure to restore the Security Deposit upon demand as set forth in Section 5 of this Sublease; (e) if Subtenant declares bankruptcy or an involuntary bankruptcy is filed against Subtenant or if Subtenant enters into or is subject to a receivership, trusteeship, or arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors under state law, voluntarily or involuntarily, and any such action or filing is not dismissed or terminated within sixty (60) days after institution; and (f) if Subtenant vacates or abandons the Premises and fails to pay Monthly Rent, additional rent, or other sums hereunder.
B. If an Event of Default occurs, the provisions of this Section 23.B shall apply and Sublessor may pursue any one or more of the following remedies. Sublessor shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate this Sublease. In addition, with or without terminating this Sublease, Sublessor may re-enter, terminate Subtenant’s right of possession and take possession of the Premises. The notice provisions of the foregoing Section 23.A of this Sublease shall operate as a notice to quit, any additional notice to quit or of Sublessor’s intention to re-enter the Premises or terminate this Sublease being hereby expressly waived. If necessary, Sublessor may proceed to recover possession of the Premises under applicable Laws, or by such other proceedings, including self-help, re-entry and possession, as may be applicable. If Sublessor elects to terminate this Sublease or elects to terminate Subtenant’s right of possession, everything contained in this Sublease on the part of Sublessor to be done and performed shall cease without prejudice, however, to Subtenant’s liability for all Monthly Rent, additional rent and other sums accrued through the later of termination or Sublessor’s recovery of possession. Whether or not this Sublease and/or Subtenant’s right of possession is terminated, Sublessor shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate any renewal or expansion right contained in this Sublease and to grant or withhold any consent or approval pursuant to this Sublease in its sole and absolute discretion. Sublessor may relet the Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with other premises, for such term(s) (which may extend beyond the date on which the Term would have expired but for Subtenant’s default) and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent and Alterations of the Premises) as Sublessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, but Sublessor shall not be liable for, nor shall Subtenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of, any failure by Sublessor to relet all or any portion of the Premises or any failure by Sublessor to collect any rent due upon such reletting, provided that, to
- 17 -
the extent required by law, Sublessor shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Sublessor’s damages. Whether or not this Sublease is terminated, Subtenant nevertheless shall remain liable for any Monthly Rent, additional rent, damages or other sums which may be due or sustained prior to such default, and all costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, brokerage fees, expenses incurred in placing the Premises in first-class rentable condition, advertising expenses, and any concessions given to any successor tenant such as a rental abatement or an improvements allowance) incurred by Sublessor in pursuit of its remedies hereunder and in recovering possession of the Premises and renting the Premises to others from time to time. Subtenant shall also be liable for additional damages which at Sublessor’s election shall be either:
(1) An amount equal to the Monthly Rent and additional rent which would have become due during the remainder of the Term, less the amount of periodic rental (i.e., Monthly Rent and OE/Tax Rent), if any, which Sublessor receives during such period from others to whom the Premises may be rented, which amount shall be computed and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month following Subtenant’s default and continuing until the date on which the Term would have expired but for Subtenant’s default. Separate suits may be brought from time to time to collect any such damages for any month(s) (and any such separate suit shall not in any manner prejudice the right of Sublessor to collect any damages for any subsequent month(s)), or Sublessor may defer initiating any such suit until after the expiration of the Term (in which event Subtenant hereby agrees that such deferral shall not be construed as a waiver of Sublessor’s rights as set forth herein); OR
(2) Final damages in an amount equal to the difference between (i) all Monthly Rent, additional rent and other sums which would have become due during the remainder of the Term, and (ii) the fair market value rental of the Premises over the same period (net of all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and all vacancy periods reasonably projected by Sublessor to be incurred in connection with the reletting of the Premises) as reasonably determined by Sublessor, which difference shall be discounted at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum, and which resulting amount shall be payable to Sublessor in a lump sum on demand. Sublessor may bring suit to collect any such damages at any time after an Event of Default.
Subtenant shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Sublessor in connection with or as a result of any Event of Default whether or not a suit is instituted. Nothing herein shall be construed to affect or prejudice Sublessor’s right to prove, and claim in full, unpaid rent accrued prior to the termination of this Sublease.
All rights and remedies of Sublessor set forth in this Sublease are cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Sublessor at law or in equity. The exercise by Sublessor or any such right or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. No delay or failure by Sublessor to exercise or enforce any of Sublessor’s rights or remedies or Subtenant’s obligations shall constitute a waiver of any such rights, remedies or obligations. Sublessor shall not be deemed to have waived any default by Subtenant unless such waiver expressly is set forth in a written instrument signed by Sublessor. If Sublessor waives in writing any default by Subtenant, such waiver shall not be construed as a waiver of any covenant, condition or agreement set forth in this Sublease except as to the specific circumstances described in such written waiver.
- 18 -
Effective as of the date of a valid, lawful termination under this Sublease, Subtenant hereby expressly waives, for itself and all persons claiming by, through or under it, any right of redemption, re-entry or restoration of the operation of this Sublease under any present or future Law, including without limitation any such right which Subtenant would otherwise have in case Subtenant shall be dispossessed for any cause, or in case Sublessor shall obtain possession of the Premises as herein provided.
If Subtenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or files any debtor proceedings, or if Subtenant takes or has taken against it in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any State a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Subtenant’s property, or if Subtenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions for or enters into an arrangement (each of the foregoing referred to as an “Event of Bankruptcy”), then this Sublease shall terminate and Sublessor, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right of reentry and may remove all persons and property from the Premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Subtenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage occasioned thereby.
24. Waiver.
If Sublessor institutes legal or administrative proceedings against Subtenant and a compromise or settlement thereof is made, the same shall not constitute a waiver of Subtenant’s obligations to comply with any covenant, agreement or condition, nor of any of Sublessor’s rights hereunder. No waiver by Sublessor of any breach of any covenant, condition, or agreement specified herein shall operate as an invalidation, or as a continual waiver of such covenant, condition or agreement itself, or of any subsequent breach thereof. No payment by Subtenant or receipt by Sublessor (or any party designated by Sublessor to receive any payments of rent) of a lesser amount than the amount of rent due Sublessor shall be deemed to be other than payment on account of the earliest rent then accrued and payable. Amounts deposited into Sublessor’s rental account shall not be deemed accepted by Sublessor if Sublessor promptly returns such rental amounts to Subtenant. In addition, no endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of such rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Sublessor, or any party designated by Sublessor, may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Sublessor’s right to recover the balance of such rent or to pursue any other remedy provided for in this Sublease or in the governing law of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located. No re-entry by Sublessor, and no acceptance by Sublessor of keys from Subtenant, shall be considered an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises or this Sublease.
25. Terms of Prime Lease.
All of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Prime Lease are incorporated herein by reference and hereby made a part of and are superior to this Sublease, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, and Sublessor hereunder shall have all of the
- 19 -
rights of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease as against Subtenant, as if Subtenant had executed the Prime Lease as Tenant thereunder, except to the extent the same conflict with the provisions hereof, in which case, as between Sublessor and Subtenant only, Sublessor’s rights and remedies against Subtenant as set forth in this Sublease shall control. All capitalized and other terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prime Lease, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. The following provisions of the Prime Lease shall not be incorporated in this Sublease by reference: Section 1.1(b), 1.1(d), 1.1(l), 1.1(n) through 1.1(s), 1.1(v), 1.1(w), 1.1(x), Article 3, Article 4, Section 8.5, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth sentences of Section 18.1, Article 22, Sections 26.3, 26.4, 26.5, 26.6, 26.8, 26.10, 27.1, 27.2, 27.7, Article 28, Article 29, Article 30, Article 31, Exhibit D, Exhibit E, Exhibit H, Exhibit I, Exhibit J, Exhibit K, and Exhibit L, Section 6, Section 7, Section 8, Section 10, Section 11, Section 12, Section 13 and Section 14 of the First Amendment to Office Lease, the Second Amendment to Office Lease and Sections 4(a) through (c), Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8 of the Third Amendment to Office Lease. A copy of the Prime Lease is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit E. Sublessor shall have the right to amend the Prime Lease from time to time without the consent of Subtenant provided that any such amendment shall not adversely affect Subtenant’s ability to continue its then current operations in the Premises, increase any of the rental or other payments required to be made by Subtenant hereunder or otherwise materially and adversely change Subtenant’s rights and obligations hereunder. Sublessor shall give Subtenant notice of any amendment to the Prime Lease, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such amendment or its applicability to Subtenant, except that Subtenant shall have no obligation to comply with the terms of any such amendment until it has received a copy.
A. Sublessor shall have no liability to Subtenant by reason of the default of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other provision of this Sublease, Subtenant recognizes that Sublessor is not in a position to and shall not be required to render any of the services or utilities, to make repairs, replacements, restorations, alterations or improvements or to perform any of the obligations, of any nature whatsoever, required of Prime Landlord by the terms of the Prime Lease. Sublessor, however, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the performance of and furnishing of such services for the Premises by Prime Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease.
B. Subtenant shall promptly reimburse Sublessor for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs paid to third parties in expending such efforts. Nothing contained herein shall require Sublessor to institute any suit or action to enforce any such rights, except as expressly set forth in Section 26.D of this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that the failure of Prime Landlord to provide any services or comply with any obligations under the Prime Lease shall not entitle Subtenant to any abatement or reduction in either Monthly Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder.
C. Wherever the Prime Lease refers to the “Premises,” such references for the purposes hereof shall be deemed to refer to the Sublease Premises; wherever the Prime Lease refers to the “Lease,” such references for purposes hereof shall be deemed to refer to this Sublease; wherever the Prime Lease refers to the “term,” such references for the purposes hereof shall be deemed to refer to the Term; wherever the Prime Lease refers to “Landlord,” such references for the purposes hereof shall be deemed to refer to Sublessor; and wherever the Prime Lease refers to “Tenant,” such references for the purposes hereof shall be deemed to refer to “Subtenant.”

26. Sublease Subject to Prime Lease.
A. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Prime Lease and to the matters to which the Prime Lease is or shall be subordinate. Prime Landlord is not a party to this Sublease, and all of Prime Landlord’s obligations relating to this Sublease shall be governed by the Sublease Consent, but Prime Landlord shall be a third party beneficiary of any covenants and agreements of Subtenant which benefit Prime Landlord hereunder.
B. Except as specifically set forth in this Sublease, Subtenant covenants and agrees with Sublessor and Prime Landlord that, throughout the Term, Subtenant shall observe and perform all of the provisions of the Prime Lease, which are to be observed and performed by the tenant thereunder as to the Premises only, except payment of Monthly Rent and additional rent and except to the extent expressly excluded in Section 25 of this Sublease. Subtenant covenants and agrees that Subtenant shall not do any act, matter or thing which will be, result in, or constitute a violation or breach of or a default or Event of Default under any provision of the Prime Lease; it being expressly agreed to by Subtenant that any such violation, breach, default or Event of Default shall constitute a material breach by Subtenant of a substantial obligation under this Sublease entitling Sublessor to avail itself of the remedies provided for herein or otherwise permitted at law. So long as Subtenant is not in default under this Agreement, Sublessor covenants and agrees that it will timely perform all its obligations as Tenant under the Prime Lease, to the extent not being performed directly by Subtenant under the express terms of this Sublease, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold Subtenant harmless from and for any liability arising from Sublessor’s failure to so perform. Within three (3) business days after receipt, Sublessor will provide Subtenant with complete copies of any notices or correspondence Sublessor receives from Prime Landlord which affect Subtenant’s rights or obligations under this Sublease.
C. Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublessor and Sublessor Parties harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, penalties and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising from or in connection with any default or Event of Default by Subtenant in Subtenant’s performance of those terms, covenants and conditions of the Prime Lease which are or shall be applicable to Subtenant, as above provided, and all amounts payable by Subtenant to Sublessor on account of such indemnity shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be payable to Sublessor upon demand. In any case where the consent or approval of Prime Landlord shall be required pursuant to the Prime Lease, Sublessor’s consent shall also be required hereunder.
D. Sublessor shall have no obligation to perform Prime Landlord’s obligations under the Prime Lease, and if Prime Landlord defaults in its obligations to Sublessor under the Prime Lease so that Subtenant is deprived of service or performance to which it is entitled hereunder, Sublessor shall not, except as and to the extent set forth below, be obligated to bring any action or proceeding or to take any steps to enforce Sublessor’s rights against Landlord.
- 21 -
(1) Sublessor shall cooperate in seeking to obtain Prime Landlord’s performance under the Prime Lease. Upon Subtenant’s request, Sublessor shall make written demand upon Prime Landlord to perform its obligations regarding the Premises. If after such demand, Prime Landlord’s grace period (if any) under the Prime Lease expires and Prime Landlord has failed to perform the obligation, then at Subtenant’s written direction and expense, Sublessor shall proceed against Prime Landlord on Subtenant’s behalf, so long as Subtenant is not in default under this Sublease. [Prior to instituting any such proceeding, Subtenant will post an additional security deposit of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) which shall be returned to Subtenant upon final resolution of such proceeding, except to the extent necessary to rectify any default of Subtenant.] Subtenant shall reimburse Sublessor, as additional rent due within thirty (30) days after delivery from time to time of a statement therefor, for all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Sublessor in connection with such proceeding. If, as a result of Prime Landlord’s default under the Prime Lease during the Term of this Sublease, Sublessor recovers any sum from Prime Landlord relating to the Premises or is entitled to any abatement, credit, setoff, or offset in relation to rent of any kind due in connection with the Premises, the same, or the benefit thereof, shall benefit Subtenant as applicable to the Premises, so long as this Sublease is in effect and Subtenant is not in default hereunder. So long as this Sublease is in effect, if Sublessor’s rent as to the Premises is abated under the Prime Lease, then Subtenant’s rent under this Sublease shall abate as applicable to the Premises.
(2) So long as it is at no cost to Sublessor and not contrary to the provisions of the Prime Lease, Sublessor shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant:
(a) In obtaining for Subtenant (i) any services under the Prime Lease; (ii) any benefit to Sublessor relating to the Premises under the Prime Lease that would directly benefit Subtenant, and (iii) Prime Landlord’s consent to any action for which the Prime Lease requires Prime Landlord’s consent, and
(b) In delivering any notice to Prime Landlord as required by a provision of the Prime Lease, including, without limitation, promptly forwarding any requests made by Subtenant to Prime Landlord for services, consents or approvals, and providing Prime Landlord with all information required regarding such request.
27. Casualty and Condemnation.
If the Prime Lease is terminated due to casualty or condemnation, this Sublease shall terminate on the effective date of such termination of the Prime Lease with the same effect as if such date were the expiration date. Subtenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent hereunder for any space for which rent is abated under the Prime Lease.
28. Right of Sublessor to Cure Subtenant’s Default.
If Subtenant defaults in the making of any payment to any third party, or doing any act required to be made or done by Subtenant relating to the Premises (including the performance of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease), then Sublessor may, but shall not be required to, make such payment or do such act, and Subtenant shall reimburse Sublessor, as additional rent upon demand, for all expenses incurred by Sublessor, therefor together with
- 22 -
interest thereon at a rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lower of (a) three (3) percentage points above the then applicable base rate of interest (or comparable rate of interest) per annum as fixed by a federally chartered financial institution reasonably selected by Sublessor, or (b) the maximum rate allowed by Law, accruing from the date Sublessor incurred such expenses. The making of such payment or the doing of such act by Sublessor shall not operate as a waiver or cure of Subtenant’s default, nor shall it prevent Sublessor from the pursuit of any remedy to which Sublessor would otherwise be entitled.
29. Brokers.
Sublessor and Subtenant each represents and warrants to the other that, except as hereinafter set forth, it has not employed any broker in carrying on the negotiations, nor had any dealings with any broker, relating to this Sublease. Subtenant represents that it has employed McShea and Company as its broker, and further agrees to pay the commissions accruing to said identified broker pursuant to certain outside agreement(s). Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless 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 by the respective indemnitor.
30. Notices.
All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered upon personal delivery (or attempted delivery); or as of the third (3rd) business day after mailing by United States mail, by certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid (during times when normal mail delivery is in effect); or as of the immediately following business day after deposit for next day delivery with federal express or similar nationally recognized overnight courier service:

prior to the Commencement Date and at the Premises thereafter. The party to receive notices and the place notices are to be sent for either Sublessor or Subtenant may be changed by notice given pursuant to the provisions of this Section 30.
31. Estoppel Certificates.
Subtenant agrees, at any time and from time to time but not more than 1 time per year (except that such limitation shall not apply in connection with a request by Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease or if there is an Event of Default), upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice, to execute and deliver to Sublessor a statement in writing (A) certifying that this Sublease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Sublease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (B) stating the dates to which the rent and other charges hereunder have been paid by Subtenant, (C) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of Subtenant, Sublessor is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Sublease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which Subtenant may have knowledge, (D) stating the address to which notices to Subtenant should be sent and, if Subtenant is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity (collectively, “Entity”) the name and address of its registered agent or its agent for service of process in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located, (E) agreeing not to pay Monthly Rent more than thirty (30) days in advance or to amend the Sublease without the consent of Prime Landlord, and (F) containing such other matters as Sublessor may reasonably request. Any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by, or if so requested, addressed to any owner of the Building or the Project or any interest therein, any prospective purchaser of the Building or the Project or any interest therein, any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee of the Building or the Project or any interest therein, or any prospective assignee of any such Mortgagee. The failure of Subtenant to timely execute and deliver such statement to Sublessor shall constitute an acknowledgment by Subtenant of the facts set forth therein. If the statement is requested by Prime Landlord, then the references in this Section 31 to “Sublessor” shall be deemed references to “Prime Landlord” if the context so requires.
32. Holding Over.
If Subtenant does not immediately surrender the Premises free of all subtenants and occupants on the date of expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then Sublessor shall be entitled to immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by judicial or non-judicial means lawful in the State of Maryland, and, whether or not Sublessor seeks recovery of possession of the Premises, Subtenant shall be obligated to pay as Monthly Rent during the holdover an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to the following as applicable: (A) prior to expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Prime Lease with respect to the Premises during the first thirty (30) days of such holdover: 125% of the sum of Monthly Rent and Subtenant’s Share of OE/Tax Rent, or (B) in all events after expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Prime Lease with respect to the Premises, the Monthly Base Rent (as defined in the Prime Lease) and Additional Rent (as defined in the Prime Lease) due under Section 32.8 of the Prime Lease for the entire Prime Lease Premises (and not just for the Premises). No acceptance of rent by Sublessor for any holdover
- 24 -
period shall constitute a waiver of Sublessor’s right to immediate recovery of possession of the Premises, nevertheless, any rental amounts for such holdover period which are deposited into Sublessor’s rental account shall not be deemed accepted by Sublessor if Sublessor promptly returns such rental amounts to Subtenant. Nothing herein shall limit Sublessor’s right to recover damages pursuant to this Sublease and such other damages as are available to Sublessor at law or in equity (including but not limited to any and all damage caused by such holdover). Subtenant acknowledges that a holdover by Subtenant beyond the term of the Prime Lease with respect to the Premises shall cause a holdover by Sublessor under the Prime Lease and that the resulting damage to Sublessor may be substantial, and, in addition to payment of holdover rent for the entire Prime Lease Premises as set forth above, Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless in connection therewith, pursuant to Section 18 of this Sublease.
33. Quiet Enjoyment.
Sublessor covenants that if Subtenant pays the rent and performs all of the covenants, agreements and conditions specified in this Sublease to be performed by Subtenant, Subtenant shall, for the Term, freely, peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises without molestation or hindrance by Sublessor, its agents or employees subject to the provisions of this Sublease and the Sublease Consent. Entry in the Premises for inspections, repairs, alterations, improvements and installations by Sublessor, its agents, employees or contractors pursuant to Section 17 shall not constitute a breach by Sublessor of this covenant, nor entitle Subtenant to any abatement or reduction of rent.
34. Parking.
Sublessor grants to Subtenant a non-exclusive license to use at no additional charge an allocation of four (4) non-reserved parking spaces per 1,000 square feet leased. Subtenant shall receive ten (10) reserved parking spaces, the location of which shall be mutually agreed upon between Sublessor and Subtenant.
35. Cafeteria/Security.
Subtenant, the assignee or sub-subtenant, and their respective employees and visitors shall have the right to use the cafeteria service for breakfast and lunch at the price paid by Sublessor for same.
The Sublessor, at Sublessor’s expense, will provide a monitored card access system or similar security to the Building. Sublessor shall provide Subtenant with a reasonable number of access cards (not to exceed 5 cards per 1000 square feet) at no expense. Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor (as additional rent), within thirty (30) days after Subtenant receives an invoice therefor, $50.00 per card for any additional or replacement cards.
36. Miscellaneous.
A. Rule Against Perpetuities. If and to the extent that this Sublease would, in the absence of the limitation imposed by this Section 36.A, be invalid or unenforceable as being in violation of the rule against perpetuity or any other rule of law relating to the vesting of interests in property or the suspension of the power of alienation of property, then it is agreed
- 25 -
that notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, this Sublease and any and all options, rights and privileges granted to Subtenant thereunder, or on connection therewith shall terminate if not previously terminated, on the date which is twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last heir or issue, who are lives in being as of the date of this Sublease, of the following named persons: George W. Bush and Richard Cheney.
B. Gender. Feminine or neuter pronouns shall be substituted for those of the masculine form, and the plural shall be substituted for the singular number, in any place or places herein in which the context may require such substitution or substitutions.

Neither the members comprising Sublessor, nor the partners, directors or officers of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Parties”) shall be personally liable for the performance of Sublessor’s obligations under this Sublease. Subtenant shall look solely to Sublessor to enforce Sublessor’s obligations hereunder and shall not seek any damages against any of the Parties.
D. Savings Clause. If any provision of this Sublease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is to any extent held invalid, then the remainder of this Sublease or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Sublease shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be rewritten in a valid, legal and enforceable manner to achieve as closely as possible the original intent.
E. Entity Subtenant. If Subtenant is an Entity, the persons executing this Sublease on behalf of Subtenant hereby consent, represent and warrant that Subtenant is duly organized and is duly qualified and authorized to do business in the State of Maryland; and that the person or persons executing this Sublease on behalf of Subtenant are duly authorized to sign and execute this Sublease. Upon request of Sublessor to Subtenant, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublessor documentation reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor evidencing Subtenant’s compliance with the provisions of this section. Further, Subtenant agrees to promptly execute all necessary and reasonable applications or documents confirming such registration as requested by Sublessor or its representatives, required by the jurisdiction in which the Building is located to permit the issuance of necessary permits and certificates for Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. Any delay or failure by Subtenant in submitting such application or document so executed shall not serve to delay the Commencement Date or delay or waive Subtenant’s obligations to pay rent hereunder.
F. Joint and Several Liability. If two or more individuals or Entities (or any combination of two or more thereof) sign this Sublease as Subtenant, the liability of each of them shall be joint and several. In like manner, if Subtenant is an Entity the members of which are, by virtue of statute or general law, subject to personal liability, the liability of each individual who
- 26 -
was, is or becomes a member of such Entity at any time from the date of execution of this Sublease to and including the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, shall be joint and several.
G. Unavoidable Delays. Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of an action by Sublessor or Subtenant, the period of time for the performance of such action shall be extended by the number of days that the performance is actually delayed due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, casualty, unusually severe weather, war, terrorist activity, civil disturbances, action or inaction of a governmental entity, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the performing party (“Unavoidable Delays”). However, Unavoidable Delays shall not extend any period of time for the payment of Rent or other sums payable by either party or any period of time for the written exercise of an option or right by either party, or any holding over by Subtenant beyond the expiration or termination of the Term.
H. Governing Law. This Sublease and the rights and obligations of Sublessor and Subtenant hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflict of laws principles.

J. Rules of Construction. The deletion of any printed, typed or other portion of this Sublease or any draft of this Sublease shall not evidence an intention to contradict such deleted portion. Such portion shall be deemed not to have been inserted in this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that this Sublease is a commercial transaction and Subtenant has had the opportunity to engage legal counsel. Accordingly, no rule of construction against the draftsperson of a document or against landlords shall be applicable to this Sublease. Section references used herein (e.g., Section 0) shall refer to section numbers of this Sublease, unless otherwise specified or unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

L. No Representations by Sublessor. Neither Sublessor nor any agent or employee of Sublessor has made any representations or promises with respect to the Premises or the Property except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, privileges, easements or licenses are acquired by Subtenant except as herein expressly set forth. Subtenant, by taking possession of the Premises, shall accept the same in the then “as is” condition, except for latent defects and the Work described on Exhibit F attached hereto. Taking of possession of the Premises by Subtenant shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises and the Building are in good and satisfactory condition at the time of such taking of possession, as provided for in Exhibit F attached hereto.
M. Waiver of Jury Trial. SUBLESSOR AND SUBTENANT EACH HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE

OTHER ON OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS SUBLEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUBLESSOR AND SUBTENANT HEREUNDER, SUBTENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE. SUBTENANT FURTHER AGREES NOT TO INSTITUTE, ASSERT, RAISE OR INTERPOSE ANY NON-COMPULSORY CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY SUBLESSOR TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES.
N. Enforcement of Sublease. If either party (the “Enforcing Party”) is required or elects to take legal action to enforce against the other party (the “Defaulting Party”) the performance of the Defaulting Party’s obligations under this Sublease, then the Defaulting Party shall immediately reimburse the Enforcing Party for all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, and expenses of investigating and preparing for suit, incurred by the Enforcing Party in its successful prosecution of that legal action.

Sublessor and Subtenant each agrees not to disclose to any person not authorized herein, and to require that all authorized persons to whom it discloses the Confidential Material will not make any further disclosure of any Confidential Material. The fact that a Sublease has been executed between Sublessor and Subtenant for the Premises shall not be deemed to be Confidential Material provided that the specific financial business terms thereof are not disclosed. All Confidential Material that is provided to Sublessor or Subtenant will be used solely for informational purposes and for purposes of negotiating and finalizing a Sublease.

FORM OF SUBLEASE CONSENT
CONSENT TO SUBLEASE AGREEMENT
This Consent to Sublease Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the day of , 2007 by and among Hub Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“Landlord”), Manugistics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) and EFJ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Subtenant”).
WHEREAS, Landlord’s predecessor in interest, John F. Jaeger, Trustee, and Tenant entered into that certain Office Lease dated December 19, 2000, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease dated June 14, 2001, a Second Amendment to Office Lease dated March 24, 2003 and a Third Amendment to Office Lease dated July 20, 2004 (as the same may further be amended from time to time, the “Lease”) for the lease of certain premises consisting of Building 1, Building 2 and Building 3 (collectively, the “Buildings”) in the Danac Stiles Corporate Campus at the intersection of Great Seneca Highway and Key West Avenue in Gaithersburg, Maryland (the “Premises”), all as more particularly described in the Lease;
WHEREAS, Tenant and Subtenant desire to enter into the Sublease (the “Sublease”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, for the Subtenant’s use and occupancy of a portion of the 5th floor in Building 1 (the “Sublease Premises”) shown on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, Landlord has agreed to consent to the Sublease subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease, subject to and upon the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance of the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein. Tenant and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that (i) Landlord is not a party to the Sublease and is not bound by the provisions thereof, (ii) Landlord has not and will not review or pass upon any of the provisions of the Sublease, (iii) the Sublease will not be modified or amended in any way without the prior written consent of Landlord and (iv) the Sublease is intended to grant Subtenant a subleasehold interest and is not an assignment of Tenant’s interest under the Lease and consequently notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease the term of the Sublease shall expire no later than one (1) day prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a consent to, or approval by Landlord of, any of the provisions of the Sublease, but is merely a consent to the act of subletting by Tenant to Subtenant. To the extent of any inconsistencies between the terms of the Sublease and the terms of the Lease or this Agreement, as between Landlord and Tenant, the terms of the Lease or this Agreement shall prevail. In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant and Subtenant agree that (i) Landlord’s obligations to Tenant are governed
C-1
only by the Lease and this Agreement, (ii) Landlord shall not be bound or estopped by any provisions of the Sublease, including any provision purporting to impose any obligations upon Landlord and (iii) nothing contained herein shall be (a) construed as a consent to, approval of, or ratification by Landlord of, any of the particular provisions of the Sublease, or any plan or drawing referred to or contained therein (except as may be expressly provided herein), or (b) construed to modify, waive, impair or affect any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, obligations or conditions contained in the Lease (except as herein expressly provided), or to waive any breach thereof, or to increase the obligations or diminish the rights of Landlord under the Lease, or to increase the rights or diminish the obligations of Tenant thereunder.
2. Tenant represents and warrants that (a) the Lease is in full force and effect; (b) the Lease has not been assigned, encumbered, amended, modified, extended or supplemented; (c) Tenant knows of no defense or counterclaim to the enforcement of the obligations of the Tenant under the Lease; (d) Tenant is not entitled to any reduction, offset or abatement of the rent payable under the Lease; (e) a true and complete copy of the Sublease is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the Sublease constitutes the complete agreement between Tenant and Subtenant with respect to the subject matter thereof; and (f) Tenant is not in default of any of its obligations or covenants beyond any applicable grace period, and has not breached any of its representations or warranties under the Lease.
3. Tenant hereby reaffirms that it shall remain fully responsible and primarily liable for the prompt payment of all amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease and the performance of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease required to be performed on the part of Tenant thereunder.
4. Subtenant agrees that it shall perform and comply with and be bound by all obligations of Tenant under the Lease relating to the use and occupancy of the Sublease Premises including, but without limitation, all obligations relating to the maintenance of insurance and the naming of Landlord as an additional insured thereunder, but excluding any obligation to pay fixed or additional rent due from Tenant under the Lease. The Sublease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the Lease, and shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of the Lease and this Agreement. Subtenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in connection with Subtenant’s occupancy of the Sublease Premises which would violate any such covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions.
5. Tenant and Subtenant agree that after notice from Landlord, Subtenant shall pay all rents and all other sums due under the Sublease to Landlord.
6. Landlord’s consent under this Agreement shall not be construed as a consent by Landlord to, or as permitting, any other or further assignment or subletting by either Tenant or Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the Sublease or this Agreement to the contrary, Subtenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, (i) assign the Sublease, (ii) sub-sublease all or any part of the Sublease Premises, or (iii) make any alterations, additions or structural changes in or to the Sublease Premises.
7. Tenant hereby authorizes Subtenant to obtain services and materials for or related
C-2
to the Subleased Premises, and Tenant agrees to pay for such services and materials as additional rent under the Lease upon written demand from Landlord. However, at Landlord’s option and for Tenant’s convenience, Landlord may bill Subtenant for such services and materials, or any portion thereof, in which event Subtenant agrees to pay for the services and materials so billed, but such billing shall not relieve Tenant from its primary obligation to pay for such services and materials. The authority herein given by Tenant to Subtenant shall be continuing and Tenant shall not revoke such authority without giving at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to Landlord.
8. Tenant and Subtenant agree that Landlord shall not be responsible for the payment of any commissions or fees in connection with this Agreement or the Sublease and they each jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liability, losses or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with any claims for commissions or fees by any broker or agent in connection with this Agreement or the Sublease.
9. If the Lease is terminated prior to the stated expiration date provided in the Lease, the term of the Sublease shall, subject to Landlord’s right to elect to require Subtenant to attorn as hereinafter provided, likewise terminate on the date of such termination. In connection with such termination, Subtenant, at its sole expense, shall surrender the Sublease Premises to Landlord in the manner provided for in the Lease, including the removal of all its personal property from the Sublease Premises and from any part of the Buildings and to which it is not otherwise entitled to occupy, and repair all resulting damage to the Sublease Premises and the Buildings. Any property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine and, in addition to any obligations of Tenant under the Lease, Subtenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (10) days of demand, the entire cost and expense incurred by Landlord in effecting such removal and disposition and in making any incidental repairs and replacements to the Sublease Premises. If Subtenant shall fail to vacate and surrender the Sublease Premises in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, Landlord shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies which are available to a landlord against a tenant holding over after the expiration of a term, and any such holding over shall be deemed a default under the Lease. In addition, Tenant agrees that any failure of Subtenant to vacate the Sublease Premises on or before the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease as hereinabove required shall constitute a failure of Tenant to vacate the Premises as required by the Lease, and Subtenant agrees that it will not seek, and it expressly waives any right to seek, any stay of the prosecution of, or the execution of any judgment awarded in, any action by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises. In the event of the termination of the Lease, Subtenant agrees, at Landlord’s option, to attorn to the Landlord and to continue the use, possession and occupancy of the Sublease Premises upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in the Sublease for the remainder of the term of the Sublease, except that neither Landlord nor any mortgagee of the Premises, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under the Lease if such mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (a) be liable for any act or omission of Tenant under the Sublease, (b) be subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to Subtenant against Tenant, (c) be bound by any previous modification of the Sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent, (d) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Sublease

Premises or any portion thereof, (e) be required to account for any security deposit of Subtenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant, (f) be bound by any obligation to make any payment or grant any credits to Subtenant, (g) be liable for the payment of any monies owing by Tenant to the credit of Subtenant or (h) be required to remove any person occupying the Sublease Premises or any part thereof. This provision shall be selfoperative upon Landlord’s written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to exercise such option.
10. Tenant and Subtenant each represent and warrant that no compensation or consideration of any kind other than as set forth in the Sublease has been or will be paid by Subtenant to Tenant in connection with the Sublease, including moneys paid for the use, sale or rental of Tenant’s furniture, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property. Tenant furthermore agrees that if it shall receive any compensation or consideration in connection with the Sublease which exceeds Tenant’s obligation on account of rent and additional rent under the Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all amounts due as a result pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.4 of the Lease.
11. Tenant shall, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, reimburse Landlord Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) as an administrative fee and, upon invoice therefor, will reimburse Landlord for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable third party expenses incurred in reviewing Tenant’s request for consent to the Sublease.
12. Landlord hereby notifies Tenant and Subtenant that the Declaration of Trust of Hub Properties Trust provides, and Tenant and Subtenant agree, that no trustee, officer, director, employee or agent of Hub Properties Trust (including any person or entity from time to time engaged to supervise and/or manage the operation of Landlord) shall be liable for any payment or performance hereunder or under the Lease on the part of Landlord and that (subject to any other limitations contained in the Lease) Tenant and Subtenant (and any party claiming by, through or under Tenant or Subtenant) shall look solely to the assets of Hub Properties Trust for payment of any claim hereunder or under the Lease.
13. Tenant hereby agrees that any option to extend or renew the term of the Lease or to expand the size of the Premises and any right of first offer or right of first refusal relating to space in the Buildings, any of which has not heretofore been exercised, is hereby deleted from the Lease.
14. Any notice given by any party to another party hereto shall be by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or delivered by hand to such other party at the address given below or such other address as such other party may from time to time designate in writing to the other parties in accordance with these provisions.

Within 30 days after Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work, Landlord’s Architect shall measure the Premises and certify such measurement in writing to Landlord and Tenant (“Landlord’s Measurement”), including relevant spreadsheet calculations. Within 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s Measurement, Tenant shall have the right to cause Tenant’s Architect to measure the Premises and certify such measurement in writing to Landlord and Tenant.

Area been occupied by such tenants at all times during such year, but only with respect to those elements of Operating Expenses that vary with occupancy (e.g., utilities and cleaning).
5.8. Right to Audit.
(a) Tenant or its designee shall have the right during business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to inspect Landlord’s books and records relating to Operating Expenses and/or to have such books and records audited by an independent certified public accountant designated by Tenant, provided that such certified public accountant will not be compensated on a contingency basis.
Tenant shall have the right to copy such books and records, at Tenant’s expense, provided that Tenant first signs a reasonable confidentiality agreement prepared by Landlord pursuant to which Tenant
11
agrees to maintain all information copied by Tenant in the strictest confidence and not to disclose same to any other party, other than (i) to Tenant’s counsel, accountants, and other agents of Tenant who have a need to know such information for the purpose of advising Tenant of its rights hereunder, or (ii) as is required to be disclosed by law or by regulatory or judicial process. The amounts payable under this Article by Landlord to Tenant or by Tenant to Landlord, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted on the basis of such audit, subject to the procedure for dispute resolution provided below. If such audit discloses a liability for refund by Landlord to Tenant in excess of 5% of the payments previously made by Tenant for such year, the cost of such audit shall be borne by Landlord; otherwise, the cost of such audit shall be borne by Tenant. If Landlord disputes the results of Tenant’s audit, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 30 days of delivery of the results of Tenant’s audit together with reasonably detailed documentation related thereto. If Landlord disputes Tenant’s audit, Landlord shall within said 30-day period, designate an independent certified public accounting firm from one of the “Big-Five” (i.e., Arthur Anderson & Co. or similar company) which has not been retained by Landlord or its affiliates during the prior 3 years, and said firm shall review Tenant’s audit and, if necessary, shall re-audit Landlord’s books and records and issue a final report within 90 days of the expiration of said 30-day period. Tenant shall fully cooperate and instruct its auditor to fully cooperate with the review conducted by the Big-Five firm. The findings of the Big-Five firm, as certified in writing to Landlord and Tenant, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto as it relates to the statement at issue. If the Big-Five firm’s report substantially confirms Tenant’s audit, Landlord shall pay the cost of the Big-Five audit. If the Big-Five firm’s report substantially confirms Landlord’s statement, Tenant shall pay the cost of the Big-Five audit. If the Big Five firm’s report concludes that both Landlord’s statement and Tenant’s audit are substantially incorrect, the parties shall share equally the cost of the Big-Five audit.
(b) If Tenant fails to request an audit in accordance with the provisions of this Section within 3 years after receipt of Landlord’s statement of actual Operating Expenses, such statement shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant provided, however, that with respect to Landlord’s statement for the last year of the Term, said 3-year period shall be 180 days. Tenant may not request an audit hereunder more often than once each year, but each such audit may occur on more than one date.
(c) If Tenant is required by the terms of a contract between the United States Government and it to provide copies of Landlord’s books and records relating to Operating Expenses, Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, shall provide Tenant with such copies to the extent that such books and records are available. Nothing in this subsection (c) shall be construed to (i) expand Tenant’s audit rights hereunder, or (ii) impose upon Landlord an obligation to retain its books and records more than three years after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement applicable thereto.
5.9. Cap on Controllable Operating Expenses.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, starting with the first full year after the Comparison Period, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Controllable Operating Expenses shall not exceed 6.0% of the previous year’s Controllable Operating Expenses. If Landlord incurs Controllable Operating Expenses in any year that exceed this 6.0% limitation, the excess Controllable Operating Expenses shall be carried forward and treated as a Controllable Operating Expense in the following and each subsequent year until the excess is used (or until the Expiration Date, if earlier). The term “Controllable Operating Expenses” means all Operating Expenses except for (i) Real Estate Taxes, (ii) liability and casualty insurance costs, (iii) utility costs, (iv) snow removal, and (v) Permitted Capital Expenditures. For purposes of calculating the 6% cap only, items covered under warranty (and not passed through to Tenant because not actually incurred) shall be deemed to be included in Operating Expenses, starting with the year before the year in which the warranty expires.
12
(b) If the Lease Commencement Date is later in the year then June 30, then the Comparison Period shall be the first full year for which Additional Rent under this Article is due (i.e., the next January 1 - December 31 following the Lease Commencement Date). If the Lease Commencement Date is June 30 or earlier in the year, then the Comparison Period shall be the period from the Lease Commencement Date to the end of the year in which the Lease Commencement Date falls, which period shall be “grossed up” as if it were a full year, the intent being for the Comparison Period to reflect Controllable Operating Expenses for a full 12 months.
(c) In calculating the 6% cap under this Section, Section 5.7 shall apply with respect to the Comparison Period and all subsequent years.
5.10. Real Estate Tax Appeals. Tenant may request that all real estate taxing authorities, when issuing notices of assessment and real estate tax bills with respect to Phase One (or with respect to the Park, if Phase One is not taxed separately), issue such notices and bills to both Landlord and Tenant simultaneously, and Landlord shall cooperate with such request. If any such taxing authority will not agree to same, then Tenant shall so notify Landlord and Landlord shall thereafter furnish to Tenant a copy of each such notice of assessment or real estate tax bill that Landlord receives from such taxing authority with respect to Phase One within 15 days following Landlord’s receipt thereof. Landlord shall determine whether to challenge or appeal such assessment based upon Landlord’s reasonable judgment of which course is in the best interest of Phase One. Within 60 days after receipt of the notice of assessment or real estate tax bill (but in no event later than 60 days prior to the last date for filing a challenge or appeal), Landlord shall inform Tenant of its determination, and shall make available appropriate personnel to discuss with Tenant the reasons underlying such determination. If Landlord determines not to challenge or appeal such assessment (or, having undertaken to appeal or challenge such an assessment, does not pursue the appeal or challenge with due diligence and continuity), Tenant (subject to Landlord’s right to object, as provided below) may appeal or challenge such assessment in Landlord’s place and stead and Landlord will join in and cooperate with Tenant in prosecuting such appeal or challenge; provided, however, that such appeal or challenge shall be undertaken at Tenant’s cost and at no expense to Landlord (except that, if Tenant’s appeal or challenge is successful, then Tenant may recover its costs out of the refund or reduction of Real Estate Taxes achieved by Tenant prior to allocating such reduction to the tenants of the Buildings). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant decides to appeal or challenge such assessment as provided above, Tenant shall so notify Landlord, and Landlord, upon notice Tenant given within 10 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, may object to such appeal or challenge, in which case, the parties, within 15 days thereafter, shall jointly select an independent expert in the field of real estate tax appeals in Montgomery County, Maryland (the “Tax Appeal Expert”). If the parties fail to select the Tax Appeal Expert within this 15-day period, the Tax Appeal Expert shall be selected by the President of the Montgomery County Bar Association. The Tax Appeal Expert shall determine whether such appeal or challenge should be pursued (based upon whether such appeal or challenge is prudent, given the likelihood of success and the possibility of an adverse outcome). The Tax Appeal Expert’s decision shall be binding upon the parties. The parties shall share equally the fees charged by the Tax Appeal Expert to make this determination. If the Tax Appeal Expert determines that the appeal or challenge should be pursued, Landlord shall undertake the appeal or challenge, but the reasonable cost thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses, as provided under Section 5.4.
5.11. Allocation of Expenses Applicable to Phase One and Phase Two. Landlord shall require any contractor or vendor providing services for both Phase One and Phase Two to enter into a separate contract for the services applicable to Phase One or to allocate in its contract the cost of the services applicable to Phase One.
13
5.12. Phase Three Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the costs to maintain Phase Three shall be allocated between Phase One and Phase Two (based upon the Maximum Density for each Phase), and only the portion of such costs allocable to Phase One shall be included in Operating Expenses. The term “Maximum Density” shall mean the maximum “gross floor area” (as defined in Section 59-A-2.l, page 59A-21, Montgomery County Zoning Ordinance (1994), as amended. The aggregate Maximum Density for the Park has been established pursuant to the Montgomery County Zoning Ordinance and the approved subdivision for the Park, and subsequently allocated among each Phase of the Park pursuant to a certain Declaration of Covenants Density Averaging made by Landlord (as Declarant) and recorded or to be recorded among the Land Records of Montgomery County, Maryland.
5.13. Phase Three Real Estate Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, all Real Estate Texas for Phase Three shall be allocated between Phase One and Phase Two (based upon the Maximum Density for each Phase), and only the portion of such taxes allocable to Phase One shall be included in Real Estate Taxes under Section 5.5.
ARTICLE 6

Tenant, at its cost, shall keep any such cafeteria, other food service facilities, and health club clean and sanitary at all times. Tenant may require Landlord to provide cleaning services for any such cafeteria, other food service facilities or health club, but Tenant shall be charged separately for the cost thereof, as provided in Section 8.1(b).
6.3. Compliance with Laws. Subject to Landlord’s obligation in the Work Agreement to complete Landlord’s Work and Tenant’s Work in compliance with all Laws, Tenant, at its cost, will comply with all orders, requirements or conditions now or hereafter imposed upon it by all Laws, including the ADA, relating to the Premises or the conduct of Tenant’s business therein; provided, however, that this subsection shall not be construed to require Tenant to construct any improvements outside of the Premises.
6.4. Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials anywhere on the Park. Tenant shall not allow the storage or use of
14
Hazardous Materials in violation of Laws or in a manner inconsistent with modern Class A office buildings in the Northern I-270 Corridor. If any lender or Governmental Authority requires testing to ascertain whether a release of Hazardous Materials has occurred and such testing ascertains that a release has in fact occurred, then, if Tenant, its agents or employees caused such release, Tenant, within 30 days after receipt of a statement therefor, shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable costs of the testing and the clean up of the Hazardous Materials. In addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits and other statements reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time (but not more than once annually) concerning Tenant’s best knowledge regarding the storage or use of Hazardous Materials by Tenant, its agents or employees in the Premises.
6.5. Floor Loads. Tenant, without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall not place a load upon the floors of the Premises exceeding the live loads per square foot prescribed in the Outline Specifications.
6.6. Security. Except for the installation of any security systems specified in the Outline Specifications or Tenant Construction Documents (which shall be installed pursuant to the Work Agreement), Tenant, at its cost, shall be responsible for the installation, operation and maintenance of any security systems for the Premises, and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any security for the Premises.
ARTICLE 7
COMMON AREAS
Subject to Article 27 (Parking), Landlord grants to Tenant, its employees, and invitees, the right, in common with other tenants in the Park, their employees and invitees, to use during the Term (i) the Common Areas, and (ii) the driveways in Phase Two and Phase Three for ingress and egress. Landlord shall have exclusive control and management of the Common Areas so long as Tenant, its employees and invitees have use of the Common Areas consistent with other modern Class A office parks of similar age, quality and location in the Northern 1-270 Corridor. Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas in a manner consistent with other modern Class A office parks of similar age, quality and location in the Northern 1-270 Corridor. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord may change the size, location or nature of the Common Areas and may locate on the Common Areas structures of any type as long as (i) such changes or structures are consistent with other modern Class A office parks of similar age, quality and location in the Northern 1-270 Corridor, and (ii) there is no material, adverse change to the driveways and curb cuts for ingress and egress to and from Phase One as shown on the Site Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord intends to construct Building 3 in the location shown on the Site Plan, and in doing so Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s business activities by such construction (e.g., by doing any core drilling or similarly disruptive work outside normal business hours).
ARTICLE 8
SERVICES
8.1. Building Services and Utilities. Landlord shall furnish the following services and utilities to Tenant:
(a) All elevators during normal business hours with at least two elevators subject to call at all times, including Sundays and holidays.
15
(b) Customary day porter, janitor and char services in accordance with the specifications for office cleaning attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Cleaning Specifications”) Monday through Friday of each week, except holidays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of any special janitorial and char services not included within the Cleaning Specifications, if provided by Landlord (e.g., executive bathrooms, kitchens, cafeterias, and health clubs).
(c) Hot and cold running water provided for general use (excluding any equipment or appliance requiring heavier than normal use of water).
(d) Access to the Premises on a 24-hour per day, 7 days per week, 52 weeks per year basis (it being understood that Landlord may impose reasonable regulations from time to time in connection with systems, controls, and procedures used for access to the Premises).
(e) Cooled and heated air and ventilation air in accordance with the HVAC specifications set forth in the Outline Specifications.
Except for the special janitorial and char services referred to in subsection (b), the foregoing services shall be provided without any additional charge to Tenant. The cost of providing the foregoing services, however, shall be included in Operating Expenses, subject to the terms of Article 5, and Tenant shall pay for electricity used on the Premises, as provided in Article 9.
8.2. Interruption of Service. No interruptions, curtailments, stoppages or suspensions of services or systems shall render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either person or property nor shall the same be the basis (i) for any abatement, reduction or rebate of Rent or any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, (ii) for relieving Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, or (iii) for any claim by Tenant that Landlord has constructively evicted Tenant or disturbed or interfered with Tenant’s use, possession or enjoyment of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such interruption, curtailment, stoppage, or suspension of such service or system.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Cessation of an Essential Service for more than five consecutive business days, then Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent for Operating Expenses shall abate from the sixth business day until the Cessation of an Essential Service has been remedied. For purposes hereof, a “Cessation of an Essential Service” shall be deemed to exist if (i) there is a stoppage or suspension of electricity, elevator service, HVAC, plumbing, access to the Premises, or a life safety system, or such a severe curtailment or frequent interruption of such services as to render them inoperative for Tenant’s purposes (any of the foregoing referred to herein as a “Stoppage”), and (ii) such Stoppage renders the Premises unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises, it being understood, however, (a) that mere inconvenience or discomfort will not constitute a Cessation of Essential Services and (b) Tenant’s carrying on limited “mission critical” functions in limited areas of the Premises will not, by itself, prevent a Stoppage from being deemed a Cessation of Essential Services if the other conditions set forth in this Section 8.2 are satisfied. If only portion(s) of the Premises are rendered unusable, then Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall
abate only for such portion(s), unless such portions render the entire Premises unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises.
16
In addition, if there is a Cessation of an Essential Service for more than two consecutive business days, then Tenant may deliver to Landlord notice stating that Tenant intends to endeavor to cure or remedy the events or conditions giving rise to such Cessation. Prior to Tenant’s undertaking any action to cure or remedy such event or condition, Tenant shall first provide Landlord five business days following delivery of such notice to remedy such event or condition specified in Tenant’s notice. If Landlord fails to remedy such event or condition within such five business day period, then Tenant may then cure or remedy such event or condition and invoice Landlord for the reasonable and actual third-party costs and expenses incurred by Tenant therefore (together with an administrative charge of 10%). If Landlord does not reimburse Tenant within 30 days after delivery of the invoice and reasonable supporting documentation for such reimbursable items, then such payment shall bear interest from the 31st day until paid at the Interest Rate. Tenant shall have the right to bring an action, at law or in equity, against Landlord for reimbursement of such amounts. Tenant shall not have the right to offset any sums against Rent due under this Lease; provided, however, that if Tenant obtains a final non-appealable money judgment against Landlord for reimbursement of such amounts and Landlord does not satisfy or obtain a stay of such judgment within 30 days after entry, then Tenant shall have the right of offset against the next sums due under this Lease until the amount of the judgment is fully offset.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Cessation of an Essential Service for more than 60 consecutive days, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time before the Essential Service is restored by delivering notice of termination to Landlord for those portion(s) of the Premises rendered unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, provided that if the portion of the Premises rendered unusable is so great that Tenant, taking into account other arrangements Tenant can make, cannot reasonably conduct its normal business in the portion of the premises which is usable, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this entire Lease,
8.3. Government Restrictions. If any public utility or governmental authority shall require Landlord or Tenant to restrict the consumption of any utility or reduce any service to the premises, Landlord and Tenant shall comply with such requirements, whether or not the utilities and services referred to in this Article are thereby reduced or otherwise affected, without any abatement or reduction of the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall be entitled to appeal or challenge such requirements and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in its prosecution of any such appeal or challenge.
8.4. Waste Collection. Tenant, at its cost, shall comply with all orders, requirements and conditions now or hereafter imposed by any Laws, whether required of Landlord or otherwise, regarding the collection, sorting, separation and recycling of waste products, garbage, refuse and trash (hereinafter collectively called “Waste Products”) including the separation of such Waste Products into receptacles reasonably approved by Landlord and the removal of such receptacles in accordance with any collection schedules prescribed by such Laws. Landlord reserves the right to: (i) refuse to accept from Tenant any Waste Products that are not prepared for collection in accordance with any such Laws, and (ii) require Tenant to pay all costs, expenses, fines, penalties, or damages that may be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with any such regulations.
17
8.5. Re-Bid of Janitorial Contract. Landlord will contract with the firm providing janitorial service and day porter services to the Premises. Upon reasonable notice to Landlord, Tenant will have the annual right to cause the termination of such janitorial service and day porter service providers and to compel Landlord to re-bid the contract for such services with service providers reasonably acceptable to Tenant.
8.6 Overtime Charge for HVAC Use. If Tenant uses the HVAC system in the Premises after normal business hours, and Landlord, at Tenant’s request, incurs overtime personnel costs to operate, repair or maintain the HVAC system during such non-business hours, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such overtime personnel costs. Each such reimbursement shall be due within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord.
8.7. Single Property Manager for Phase One. At any given time, Landlord may employ only one property management company (the “Property Manager’) to manage Phase One - i.e., Phase One may not be managed by multiple Property Managers at the same time. This provision shall not be construed to restrict Landlord’s right to choose the Property Manager or to change the Property Manager from time to time, as Landlord deems appropriate.
ARTICLE 9
ELECTRICITY
The Premises shall be separately metered for electricity and Tenant shall pay directly to the provider thereof all charges for electricity used on the Premises commencing on the Lease Commencement Date. Tenant shall be entitled to select electric utility provider(s) of its choice. Expenses for maintenance of utility meters shall be borne by Tenant, and if Landlord pays any such expenses, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within 30 days after receipt of a statement therefor. Except as provided in Section 8.2, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for interruption in or curtailment of any electric service, unless the interruption or curtailment is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees.
ARTICLE 10
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
10.1. General.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 10, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s consent in each instance, (i) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or any of its rights hereunder, (ii) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant or its employees, agents and invitees, or (iii) permit the assignment or other transfer of this Lease or any of Tenant’s rights hereunder by operation of law. Tenant shall not collaterally assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber this Lease or any of Tenant’s rights hereunder. Landlord’s refusal to consent to a proposed assignment or sublease may be based only upon its reasonable assessment that such proposed assignee or subtenant (hereinafter, “Proposed Transferee”) is (i) undesirable to have in the Park, based upon an inappropriate use for a Class A
18
suburban office park (but Landlord may not withhold consent based upon a proposed use that is permitted under Section 6.1), (ii) a party by whom any suit could be defended on the ground of sovereign immunity, or (iii) the debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or for reorganization or arrangement under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or under any insolvency act of any state (items i) through (iii) collectively the “Refusal Factors”] . The foregoing sentence notwithstanding, a proposed use will be considered inappropriate and a valid grounds for Landlord’s refusal to consent if the use of, or activity to be conducted in, the Premises, or the identity and/or reputation of the Proposed Transferee, is of a type that would generally be considered harmful to the reputation and/or marketability for lease or sale of a Class A office building by typical owners or leasing agents of such properties. Examples would include activities and/or Proposed Transferees that are highly controversial or morally, ethically, and/or religiously offensive to a significant element of the population that have been associated with protests or threats of violence at other locations, or that would reasonably cause other tenants to fear that their health or safety is endangered.
(b) During any period in which there is an uncured Event of Default, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rent due from any assignee, subtenant or occupant of Tenant, and hereby authorizes each such assignee, subtenant or occupant to pay its rent directly to Landlord. Upon the cure of such default, Landlord shall at Tenant’s request deliver notice to any such assignee, subtenant, or occupant directing it to again pay its rent to Tenant. Any assignment, transfer, or subletting shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease and shall not constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from any provision of this Lease (it being understood that Tenant shall remain primarily liable as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety), nor shall the acceptance of rent from any such assignee, subtenant or occupant constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from any such provision. Landlord’s consent to any assignment, transfer, or subletting in any one instance shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent in a subsequent instance, Any assignment or subletting in violation of this Article 10 shall be void. All assignments shall be on a form of assignment reasonably approved by Landlord. All subleases shall provide that the subtenant shall be subject to this Lease and shall have no privity of contract with Landlord.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1, Tenant may request, as part of Tenant’s request that Landlord consent to a proposed sublease (the “Proposed Sublease”) of Proposed Sublet Space constituting at least one entire floor, that Landlord enter into a Recognition Agreement with the Proposed Transferee. If Tenant does so request, then Landlord’s consent to the Proposed Sublease shall be required (even if the Proposed Transferee is a Permitted Transferee), and Landlord’s refusal to consent may be based only upon the criteria set forth in Section 10.1(a), plus, as an additional criterion, the Proposed Transferee’s failure to meet Landlord’s normal creditworthiness standards for new tenants.
(d) If Landlord does consent to the Proposed Sublease and agrees to enter into a Recognition Agreement, the form of the Proposed Sublease must be reasonably approved by Landlord, and the Recognition Agreement shall be and mean a written agreement prepared by Landlord and executed by Landlord, Tenant, and the Proposed Transferee which provides substantially as follows:
(aa) In the event of the termination of this Lease before the expiration of the term of the Proposed Sublease, for any reason other than fire or other casualty or condemnation, the Proposed Sublease, if then in full force and effect and not in default, shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Landlord, as landlord, and the Proposed Transferee, as tenant, with the same force and effect as if Landlord, as landlord, and the Proposed Transferee, as tenant, had entered into a lease as of the date of the termination of this Lease, for a term equal to the unexpired
19
term of the Proposed Sublease, containing the same terms, covenants, and conditions as those contained in the Proposed Sublease, except as follows:
(aa.l) Regardless of the provisions of the Sublease, the Proposed Transferee’s Proportionate Share shall be based upon the Rentable Area of the Proposed Sublet Area, computed consistently with the method of measurement used in this Lease, and the Additional Rent shall be computed in the same manner as it is hereunder.
(aa.2) The Base Rental Rate shall be the greater of (i) the then Base Rental Rate under this Lease, or (ii) the base rental rate under the Proposed Sublease.
(aa.3) Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under the Proposed Sublease, (ii) be subject to any set-off or other liabilities that the Proposed Transferee might have had against Tenant for acts or occurrences at or prior to the date of the termination of the Lease, or (iii) be bound by any modification of the Proposed Sublease not approved by Landlord, by any security deposit held by Tenant, by any payment due from Tenant to the Proposed Transferee, by any prepayment by the Proposed Transferee of rent more than one month in advance, by any brokerage commission due any party from Tenant, or by any default of Tenant.
(aa.4) The Proposed Transferee must deposit with Landlord, as the Security Deposit, an amount equivalent, on a pro rata per square foot of Rentable Area basis, to the Security Deposit of Tenant then required to be on deposit hereunder with Landlord, which shall be held on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Article 22 hereunder.
(bb) From and after such termination of the Lease, the Proposed Transferee shall attorn to the Landlord, and the Landlord will accept such attornment.
10.2. Landlord’s Response. Landlord’s approval or non-approval shall be promptly delivered to Tenant for any prospective assignment or sublease upon Tenant first having delivered to Landlord a request for such approval, containing (i) the identity of the Proposed Transferee (which for purposes of this Article 10 shall be the full name, state of organization, and address of primary place of business or corporate headquarters of such Proposed Transferee), (ii) a description of the location and dimensions of the proposed sublease area, accompanied by a floor plan delineating such area, unless such area shall constitute an entire floor or floors (the “Proposed Sublet Space”), (iii) the business and intended use of the Proposed Sublet Space by such Proposed Transferee, (iv) the sublease term, including the intended sublease term commencement date, (v) all of the terms and provisions upon which the proposed assignment or sublease is to be made, and (vi) financial information regarding the Proposed Transferee to the extent and in the form available to the public. If Landlord fails to respond to such request for approval within 15 days after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such sublease or assignment.
10.3. Recapture Rights.
(a) If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, to any third party which is not a permitted Transferee, for a sublease term equal to 95% or more of the then remaining portion of the Term, Tenant shall deliver notice thereof to Landlord (a “Transfer Notice”), setting forth: (i) the Proposed Sublet Space, (ii) the sublease term, and (iii) the intended sublease term commencement date. The Transfer Notice may be delivered prior to or as part of
20
Tenant’s request for approval of a Proposed Transferee. Landlord shall have 15 days thereafter to elect to terminate this Lease with respect to the Proposed Sublet Space (“Landlord’s Termination Notice”). If Landlord timely delivers Landlord’s Termination Notice, the parties shall amend this Lease to exclude the Proposed Sublet Space and effect a proportionate reduction in Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share based upon the relative size of the Premises as so reduced, and to reduce the Security Deposit as set forth below. All other terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in effect and applicable to the Premises as reduced, and Landlord and Tenant shall execute documents to affect such amendment. If Tenant proposes to assign this Lease or the Proposed Sublet Space comprises the entire Premises, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon delivery of Landlord’s Termination Notice within said 15-day period. If Landlord terminates this Lease, the provisions of Section 22.2 shall apply with respect to the repayment of the Security Deposit. If Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease only with respect to a Proposed Sublet Area comprising less than the entire Premises, then the Security Deposit shall be decreased (i) on a pro rata per square foot basis for any recaptured space as to which Tenant was the initial tenant of such space, and (ii) on a pro rata per square foot basis, multiplied by a factor of 50%, for additional space as to which Tenant was not the initial tenant of such space. If Landlord does not exercise its election to terminate this Lease (or terminate this Lease with respect to the Proposed Sublet Area), within the aforesaid 15-day period, Landlord’s right to do so shall terminate with respect to said Proposed Sublet Space, provided that if Tenant does not enter into the assignment or sublease contemplated in the Transfer Notice within 180 days after expiration of the 15-day period, then Tenant may not enter into any such assignment or sublease without first submitting a new Transfer Notice.
(b) If Landlord has elected to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 10.3(a), and if Tenant has an unexercised Renewal Option remaining under Article 29, but has been unable to exercise same because more than 30 months remain before the then applicable Expiration Date, Tenant may nullify Landlord’s exercise of its termination rights by delivering to Landlord, within 10 days after receipt of Landlord’s Termination Notice, a Renewal Notice exercising the next Renewal Option, subject to the terms of this Section 10.3(b). Tenant may only exercise such Renewal Option if the proposed sublease term is less than 95% of the then remaining portion of the Term, including the just exercised Renewal Period, the intent being for the exercise of the Renewal Option to result in a sublease term that is less than the required duration for Landlord’s recapture rights under Section 10.3(e) to apply. Tenant’s exercise of the aforesaid Renewal Option shall be permitted by Landlord even though the exercise occurred more than 30 months before the then applicable Expiration Date, provided that (i) all other conditions precedent to the exercise of Renewal Option set forth in Article 29 have been satisfied, (ii) for purposes of the procedures set forth in Article 29 for determination of the new economic terms for said Renewal Period, it will be assumed that (a) Tenant did not deliver the Renewal Notice until that date which is 30 months prior to the then applicable Expiration Date, and (b) Tenant did not (and may not) deliver a Renewal Withdrawal Notice.
(c) If Landlord does not exercise its recapture rights under this Section 10.3, then the proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer shall nonetheless be subject to Landlord’s approval, to the extent such approval is otherwise required under this Article.
10.4. Payments to Landlord
(a) If Landlord consents to an assignment of this Lease, and Tenant receives net sums or other consideration on account of the assignment in excess of the Rent called for under this Lease (not to include the sale or lease of Tenant’s Personal Property or any rent premium generated by Tenant providing the use of equipment or other services which are in excess of the Rent), Tenant shall
21
pay to Landlord 50% of all such net sums or other consideration within 10 days after the date they are paid to Tenant (or, if Landlord so requires, and without any release of Tenant’s liability for the same, Tenant shall instruct the assignee to pay 50% of such net sums and other consideration directly to Landlord).
(b) If Landlord Consents to a sublease of the Premises, and Tenant receives net sums or other consideration on account of the sublease in excess of the Rent called for under this Lease or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such Rent fairly allocable to such portion (not to include the sale or lease of Tenant’s Personal Property or any rent premium generated by Tenant providing the use of equipment or other services which are in excess of the Rent), Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of all such net sums or other consideration within 10 days after the date they are paid to Tenant.
(c) As used in this Article, “net sums or other consideration” shall include the then fair value of any non-cash consideration and shall be calculated after first deducting the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the assignment or sublease, including leasing commissions, space modification coats, reasonable legal costs, free rent concessions, and lease take-over costs.
10.5. Permitted Transferee
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10, at all times during the Term, Tenant shall have the right to sublease all or any portion of the Premises, or to assign this Lease and all of its leasehold rights, to any Permitted Transferee, without Landlord’s consent, provided that (i) such sublessee or assignee continues to use the Premises for the uses permitted by Section 6.1; (ii) Tenant promptly provides Landlord with a fully executed copy of such assignment or sublease; (iii) Tenant (if in existence) is not released from and shall remain primarily liable as a principal for performance under the Lease, and (iv) with respect to an assignment, the Permitted Transferee assumes in writing all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s consent shall not be required and Sections 10.1(a), 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 shall not apply to an assignment or subletting to a Permitted Transferee. For purposes hereof, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant, any corporation or other entity into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated, a corporation or other entity purchasing all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or ownership interests, or a Business Affiliate.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to enter into “office sharing” (i.e., no demising walls) occupancy arrangements with Business Affiliates without Landlord’s consent and without application of Sections 10.1(a). 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4. “Business Affiliates” are defined as Tenant’s teaming partners, customers, contractors, and joint venturers and other entities with whom Tenant has a bona fide business relationship apart from the sublease or shared use of office space in the Premises. Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such occupancy arrangements.
10.6. Payment of Fees. Tenant shall pay Landlord an administrative fee of $500 and shall reimburse Landlord for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable third party expenses incurred in reviewing any requested consent hereunder whether or not it is granted.
22
ARTICLE 11
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant, its agents, and employees shall, and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require its licensees and visitors at all times to, comply with the rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit G. Landlord may from time to time reasonably amend, delete, or modify existing rules and regulations, or adopt reasonable new rules and regulations for the use, safety, cleanliness, and care of the Park; provided, however, that any such changes to the rules and regulations shall be consistent with the rules and regulations for other Class A office parks in the Northern I-270 Corridor. Any such modified or new rules and regulations will be effective upon 30 days’ notice to Tenant from Landlord. Landlord shall not discriminate against Tenant in the enforcement of any rule or regulation. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for violation of such rules and regulations by Landlord’s employees, agents, visitors, or licensees or any other person; provided, however, that if any such violation interferes with Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises, Landlord, following notice from Tenant, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including the institution and diligent prosecution of legal proceedings) to enjoin such violation. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Lease and the rules and regulations, the provisions of this Lease will govern.
ARTICLE 12
MAINTENANCE
12.1. Tenant’s Maintenance Obligations.

22.5. Right to Use Lease Guarantee Bond.

satisfied. If Tenant is in default on the effective date of a reduction under this Section 22.6, the effective date of the reduction, if any, shall be delayed until 30 days after Tenant cures the default.
32

ARTICLE 24

24.1. Release of Landlord Upon Sale. If at any time Landlord shall sell, convey or assign the Premises, then provided the purchaser or transferee assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder in writing, such sale, conveyance, or assignment of the Premises will operate to release Landlord from the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease accruing from and after the effective date of such sale, conveyance, or assignment, and with respect thereto, Tenant will look solely to Landlord’s successor in interest in and to this Lease; provided, however, that this sentence shall be subject to Section 22.3.

ARTICLE 25
DEFAULT
25.1. Events of Default. The following events are referred to, collectively, as “Events of Default” or, individually, as an “Event of Default”:
(a) Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other monetary obligation when due, and such failure continues for 5 business days after notice from Landlord;
(b) This Lease or the Premises or any part of the Premises is taken upon execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant, or is taken upon or subject to any attachment by any creditor of Tenant or claimant against Tenant, and said attachment is not discharged or disposed of within 60 days after its levy;
(c) Tenant files a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or arrangement under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or under any insolvency act of any state, or admits the material allegations of any such petition by answer or otherwise, or admits in writing its inability to meet its debts as they mature, or is dissolved or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(d) Involuntary proceedings under any such bankruptcy law or insolvency act or for the dissolution of Tenant are instituted against Tenant, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or substantially all of the property of Tenant, and such proceeding is not dismissed or such receivership or trusteeship vacated within 60 days after such institution or appointment; or
(e) Tenant breaches any of the agreements, terms, covenants, or conditions that this Lease requires Tenant to perform, and such breach continues for a period of 30 days after notice from Landlord to Tenant or, if such breach cannot be cured reasonably within such 30-day period, if Tenant fails to diligently commence to cure such breach within 30 days after notice from Landlord and to complete such cure within a reasonable time thereafter.
25.2. Landlord’s Remedies. If any one or more Events of Default occur, then Landlord, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, shall have the right, at its election;
(a) To give Tenant notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease on the earliest date permitted by law or on any later date specified in such notice, in which case Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises will cease and this Lease will be terminated, except as to Tenant’s liability, as if the expiration of the term fixed in such notice were the end of the Term;
34
(b) Without further demand or notice, to cure any Event of Default and to charge Tenant for the reasonable cost of effecting such cure, including reasonable attorneys fees and interest on the amount so advanced at the Interest Rate, provided that Landlord will have no obligation to cure any such Event of Default of Tenant; and/or
(c) Whether or not Landlord terminates this Lease, to cure Tenant for all damages arising from the Event of Default (subject to the limitation on Tenants liability in Section 32.29).
Should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, Landlord may, from time to time, relet the Premises or any part of the Premises for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include concessions of free rent and alteration and repair of the Premises) as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive the rents from such reletting. So such reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord will be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such intention is given to Tenant. No notice from Landlord under this Section or under a forcible or unlawful entry and detainer statute or similar law will constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states.
25.3. Continuing Liability After Termination. If this Lease is terminated on account of an Event of Default, Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Rent and other amounts that would have been owing by Tenant for the balance of the Term, had this Lease not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises by Landlord subsequent to such termination, after deducting all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting (on a pro rata basis if the term of such reletting extends beyond the Expiration Date), including all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, tenant improvement allowances, fit-up costs, and other expenses of preparation for such reletting. Landlord will be entitled to collect such damages from Tenant monthly on the day on which Monthly Base Rent and other amounts would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease had not been terminated and Landlord will be entitled to receive such Monthly Base Rent and other amounts from Tenant on each such day. Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, in the event this Lease is so terminated, Landlord will be entitled to recover against Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty:
(a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination;
(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and
(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term of this Lease (had the same not been so terminated by Landlord) after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided.
In determining the amount of rental loss that could have been reasonably avoided, appropriate deductions from rent to be received upon a reletting shall be made for all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, tenant improvement allowances, fit-up costs, and other expenses of preparation for such reletting. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above is computed by adding interest at the Interest Rate as of the date on which this Lease is terminated from the date of termination until the time of the award. The
35
worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (c) above is computed by discounting such amount at the interest rate for U.S. Treasury obligations with a maturity date on or about the Expiration Date (if this Lease had not been terminated).
25.4. Cumulative Remedies. Any suit or suits for the recovery of the amounts and damages set forth in this Article may be brought by Landlord, from time to time, at Landlord’s election, and nothing in this Lease will be deemed to require Landlord to await the date upon which this Lease or the Term would have expired had there occurred no Event of Default. Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease is cumulative and is in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or after the Lease Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or after the Lease Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise will not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or after the Lease Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
25.5. Waiver of Redemption. Tenant waives any right of redemption arising as a result of Landlord’s exercise of its remedies under this Lease; provided, however, that if a bona fide dispute exists, such waiver shall not apply unless Tenant fails to stay or satisfy a judgment entered against it within 30 days after the date of entry.
25.6. Duty to Mitigate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, following an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall act in a commercially reasonable manner to mitigate its damages, but this provision shall not be construed to require Landlord to re-let the Premises before all other vacant space in Phase One is leased.
ARTICLE 26

26.6. Phase Two Signage. In granting exterior signage rights to other tenants in Phase Two, Landlord shall require that such signs (collectively, “Phase Two Signage”) comply with all Laws then in effect. In addition, if the Laws pertaining to Phase Two Signage in effect as of the Lease Date (“Existing Signage Laws”) are amended to become less restrictive, then Landlord shall require all Phase Two Signage to comply with all Existing Signage Laws.
26.7. No Other Signs Permitted. Except as provided in this Article 26, Tenant shall not inscribe, paint, affix or display any signs, advertisements or notices on the windows or exterior walls of the Premises or elsewhere in the Park.
26.8. Limitation on Signage Rights.

If Tenant leases less than 75% of the rentable area of Building 1, then so long as (i) Tenant leases at least 25% of the rentable area of Building 1, and (ii) is either the largest or second largest tenant in Building 1, Tenant may maintain one exterior sign on Building 1. Landlord may require Tenant to remove any signs for which Tenant has lost its signage rights hereunder and to repair all damage caused by the removal.

27.4. Enforcement. Tenant, at its cost, shall be responsible for policing use of the Reserved Spaces, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant as reasonably required to enforce Tenant’s right to use them (including written authorization to tow). Following notice from Tenant that some or all of the Non-Reserved spaces are not available for Tenant’s use, Landlord shall act in a commercially reasonable manner (including towing unauthorized vehicles) to enforce Tenant’s right to use the Non-Reserved Spaces hereunder.
27.5. Parking Rules and Regulations.

Upon Tenant’s timely exercise of a Renewal Option, the Term shall be irrevocably extended for the term of the Renewal Period, subject to delivery of a “Renewal Withdrawal Notice” (as hereinafter defined).
29.2. Rent During Renewal Periods. All terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect during any Renewal Period, except that (i) all economic terms (i.e., Monthly Base Rent, increases thereof during the Renewal Period, and Additional Rent) shall be adjusted to equal 95% of the “Current Market Rent” (as defined below), and (ii) the Security Deposit shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 29.3 (but shall remain at one hundred percent (100%) of current Market Rent terms, not ninety-five percent (95%).
40
29.3. Definition of Current Market Rent. The “Current Market Rent” for purposes of this Lease shall mean the prevailing market rent as of the date such market rent is to go into effect for leases of office space of comparable quality, location, level of finish and lease term as the Premises, in the Park and in other comparable office buildings located in the Northern 1-270 Corridors for a tenant of credit-worthiness comparable to that of Tenant, taking into account all relevant factors, including the building’s age, condition and size, any significant renovation of the building, all components of rent, including base rent, the number, type and base year for various rent escalations, base year and pass-throughs for operating expenses and real estate taxes, and any Concessions. Comparables will be limited to leases of at least 100,000 square feet of office space, but if there are then less than 6 comparables of that size, then, to the extent feasible, comparables will be limited to leases of at least 50,000 square feet. The determination of Current Market Rent shall include establishing new lease terms consistent with market terms at such time relating to base rent, base year, rent escalations, pass-throughs of real estate taxes and operating expenses, and the amount (together with any reduction schedule thereof of the Security Deposit (based on “as is” deals, i.e., without tenant improvements allowance, brokerage commissions, or other Landlord expenditures) to modify or replace as appropriate the then existing terms contained in this Lease relating to such items. The term “Concessions” means any free or reduced rent periods, construction allowances, or other concessions.
29.4. Landlord’s Notice of Current Market Rent. Within 10 days after receipt of Tenant’s Renewal Notice, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s good faith determination of the Current Market Rent. During the 45-day period following delivery of Landlord’s good faith determination, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in an effort to mutually agree upon the Current Market Rent, which agreement shall be evidenced by the parties’ execution of a Lease amendment reflecting such extension and the new economic terms thereof.
29.5. Three Broker Method. (a) If Landlord and Tenant fail to execute a Lease amendment reflecting such extension within the aforesaid 45-day negotiation period, then Tenant may deliver to Landlord prior to expiration of said 45-day negotiation period a notice withdrawing the exercise of its Renewal Option (the “Renewal Withdrawal Notice”), in which event this Article 29 shall be null and void and the Term shall expire on the existing Expiration Date. If Tenant does not deliver the Renewal Withdrawal Notice prior to the expiration of the aforesaid 45-day negotiation period without execution of such a Lease amendment, than the Renewal Notice shall become irrevocable and the Current Market Rent shall be determined pursuant to the following procedure the (“Three Broker Method’): a panel of three Leasing Experts shall be selected, one of whom shall be named by Landlord, one by Tenant, and the third selected by the two so appointed. Landlord and Tenant shall each make its appointment within 5 days after the expiration of the 15-day period, and shall notify the other of its choice within such time. If either party fails to select a Leasing Expert within such time, the Leasing Expert selected by the other party shall establish the Current Market Rent. The two Leasing Experts selected by Landlord and Tenant shall promptly select a third Leasing Expert within 10 days after they both have been appointed. If the Leasing Experts selected by the parties fail to select a third Leasing Expert within such time, the parties may select such third Leasing Expert, or either party may request such appointment by the president of the Greater Washington Commercial Association of Realtors. Within 16 days after the third Leasing Expert is selected, each Leasing Expert shall determine the Current Market Rent, and submit to the parties in writing his or her determination of the Current Market Rent. The Current Market Rent shall be the average of the two closest rental determinations and the parties shall be bound by such decision. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of the Leasing Expert selected by it, and shall equally share the payment of the fee of the third Leasing Expert.
41
(a) The parties shall execute a Lease amendment reflecting the extension and the new economic terms within 10 days after the Leasing Experts’ determination of the Current Market Rent, but failure to execute such amendment shall not affect the commencement of the Renewal Period or Tenant’s obligation to pay rent during that Renewal Period at the rate established pursuant to this Section.
(b) If the final determination of the Current Market Rent is not made by the first day of the applicable Renewal Period in accordance with the provisions of this Section 29.5, pending such final determination, Tenant shall continue to pay an amount equal to Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant on the Expiration Date of the Term immediately prior to the first day of the applicable Renewal period. If, based upon the final determination of the Leasing Experts or the agreement of the parties, such rental payments made by Tenant for such portion of the first year of the Renewal Period differ from the new rent to be paid by Tenant during the first year of the Renewal Period, the parties shall promptly adjust such amount by a cash payment.
29.6. Renewal for Less than Entire Premises. Tenant may exercise a Renewal Option for less than the entire Premises then being leased by Tenant provided (i) Tenant specifies the portion of the Premises to be renewed in its Renewal Notice and (ii) the portion of the Premises to be renewed consists of at least two contiguous full floors, beginning at either the top or bottom of a Building. In no event may Tenant exercise a Renewal Option for a partial floor. If Tenant makes the election provided in this Section 29.6, Landlord, at its Cost, will perform any work caused by the reduction in the Premises that is related to the mechanical and electrical systems or required to comply with Laws; provided, however, that in no event will Landlord be required to remove or close any internal staircases.
29.7. Tenant May Not Be in Default. Any Renewal Notice delivered by Tenant shall be effective only if this Lease is in full force and effect and no uncured Event of Default or Unredeemed Repeated Default exists at the time the Renewal Notice is delivered by Tenant. If a Renewal Notice is ineffective when delivered, such Renewal Notice shall be deemed delivered upon the cure of such Event of Default or the redemption of such Unredeemed Repeated Default, and if such Renewal Notice is deemed delivered within the required time frame set forth in Section 29.1, it shall be effective to exercise the applicable Renewal Option. The preceding sentence shall in no way be deemed to expand the rights of Tenant to cure an Event of Default or redeem a Repeated Default, or limit the remedies of Landlord, beyond those otherwise set forth in this Lease.

Subject to the terms of this Article 30, Tenant shall have the option (the “Building 3 Expansion Option”) to lease additional space in Building 3 prior to the initial lease up of such space by any other tenant. (Space leased pursuant to this Article 30 is referred to hereafter as the “Building 3 Expansion Space.”)
30.2. Exercise of Building 3 Expansion Option; Determination of Building 3 Expansion Space. If Tenant desires to exercise its Building 3 Expansion Option, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing (the “Building 3 Expansion Notice”). Tenant’s Building 3 Expansion Notice must identify the size and location of the Building 3 Expansion Space, which may consist of any or all of the rentable area in Building 3 (other than “Building 3 Lapsed Space,” as defined in Section 30.5), so long as (i) the

Building 3 Expansion Space consists of at least one full floor, and (ii) if the Building 3 Expansion Space includes a partial floor, the Building 3 Expansion Space on the partial floor must start at one end of the floor, be contiguous as one unit, and leave a minimum of 5,000 rentable square feet available on such partial floor.
30.3. Exercise within 180 Days. If Tenant exercises the Building 3 Expansion Option (by delivery of the Building 3 Expansion Notice) on or before the 180th day after the Lease Date (the “Lock-In Date’), time being of the essence, which exercise shall be irrevocable, the Building 3 Expansion Space identified in the Building 3 Expansion Notice delivered within such 180-day period shall be leased on the same terms and conditions as the Premises as though it had been leased along with the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date, except that (i) Landlord shall build out the Building I Expansion Space pursuant to the same procedure (and with the same tenant improvement allowance, on a rentable square foot basis) as is provided in the Work Agreement, and the lease term for the Building 3 Expansion Space shall commence on the earlier of Tenant’s conduct of business therein or on the 60th day after the date upon which Landlord tenders possession of the Building 3 Expansion Space to Tenant as so built out (the “Building 3 Expansion Space Commencement Date”), (ii) effective as of the Building 3 Expansion Space Commencement Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be increased to include the Building 3 Expansion Space, (iii) the Base Rental Rate for the first 12 month period after the Building 3 Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be $23.00 per rentable square foot, with increases at the commencement of each 12 month period thereafter of 3%, compounded (i.e., 3% of the previous year’s rent per square foot), and (iv) the Security Deposit shall be increased in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.7.
30.4. Exercise After 180 Days. If Tenant exercises the Building 3 Expansion Option after the Lock-In Date, then the Building 3 Expansion Space identified in the Building 3 Expansion Notice delivered after such Lock-In Date shall be leased on the same terms and conditions as the Premises, except that (i) the Building 3 Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be the earlier of Tenant’s conduct of business therein or 60 days after delivery of possession, provided that if Tenant elects for Landlord to construct the tenant improvements, the Building 3 Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be the earlier of Tenant’s conduct of business therein or upon the date of Landlord’s substantial completion of such tenant improvements as the parties shall agree to (with sufficient advance notice for Tenant to arrange move-in, installation of cabling, end the like); (ii) effective as of the Building 3 Commencement Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be increased to include the Building 3 Expansion Space; (iii) all economic terms (including the construction allowance for the Building 3 Expansion Space) shall be adjusted to equal l00% of the then-prevailing Current Market Rent, except that the Security Deposit shall remain the same, subject to the provisions of Section 22.7. During the 45-day period following delivery of the Building 3 Expansion Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in an effort to mutually agree upon the Current Market Rent, which agreement shall be evidenced by the parties’ execution of a Lease amendment reflecting such expansion and the economic terms thereof. If Landlord and Tenant fail to execute a Lease amendment reflecting such expansion within the aforesaid 45-day negotiation period, then Tenant may deliver to Landlord prior to the expiration of said 45-day negotiation period a notice withdrawing the exercise of its Building 3 Expansion Option (the “Building 3 Expansion Withdrawal Notice”), in which event the aforesaid Building 3 Expansion Option shall automatically expire and become null and void with respect to the rentable area which is the subject of such Building 3 Expansion Notice. If Tenant does not deliver the Building 3 Expansion Withdrawal Notice prior to the expiration of the aforesaid 45-day period without execution of such a Lease amendment, then the aforesaid Building 3 Expansion Notice shall become irrevocable and Current Market Rent shall be determined pursuant to the Three Broker Method.
43
30.5. Third Party Offer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 30, if Landlord delivers to Tenant notice that Landlord has received a bona fide written third party offer (“Building 3 Third Party Offer”) that Landlord is pursuing with respect to the leasing of not less than one full floor of Building 3, then the Building 3 Expansion Option shall automatically expire and become null and void with respect to the rentable area which is the Subject of Building 3 Third Party Offer (as identified in Landlord’s notice and hereinafter referred to as the “Building 3 Third Party Offer Area”) unless Tenant exercises the Building 3 Expansion Option with respect to the Building 3 Third Party Offer Area (by delivery of the Building 3 Expansion Notice) within 10 days after receipt of Landlord’s notice. Landlord’s notice will contain a copy of the Building 3 Third Party Offer, provided that (i) to the extent required by a confidentiality agreement requested by the third-party offeror, Landlord may redact the non-economic portions of the Building 3 Third Party Offer given to Tenant, and (ii) Tenant agrees to maintain the Building 3 Third Party Offer in the strictest confidence and not disclose same to any other party (other than to Tenant’s counsel, accountants, and other agents of Tenant who have a need to know such information for the purpose of advising Tenant of its rights hereunder, or as is required to be disclosed by law or by regulatory or judicial process). (Any space with respect to which the Building 3 Expansion Option expires pursuant to the provisions of Section 30.4 or this Section 30.5 is referred to herein as the “Building 3 Lapsed Space”). If Tenant does not exercise the Building 3 Expansion Option within such 10-day period, then the Building 3 Expansion Option shall continue to apply only to the rentable areas in Building 3 other than Building 3 Lapsed Spaces provided, however, that if Landlord does not enter into a lease for the Building 3 Lapsed Space within 120 days after such 10-day period expires, Landlord shall again offer such Building 3 Lapsed Space to Tenant pursuant to the procedure provided in this Section. If Tenant exercises the Building 3 Expansion Option with respect to the Building 3 Third Party Offer Area within such 10-day period, then (i) the economic terms shall be determined pursuant to Section 30.3 above if Tenant exercises on or before the Lock In Date, and (ii) the economic terms shall be determined pursuant to Section 30.4 if Tenant exercises after the Lock-In Date.
30.6. Execution of Lease Amendment. The parties shall execute an amendment to this Lease reflecting the lease of the Building 3 Expansion Space within 10 days after Tenant receives the amendment from Landlord, but failure to execute such amendment shall not affect the commencement of the term for the Building 3 Expansion Space or Tenant’s obligations to pay rent for the Building 3 Expansion Space in accordance with this Article 30.
30.7. Tenant May Not Be in Default. Any Building 3 Expansion Notice delivered by Tenant shall be effective only if this Lease is in full force and effect and no uncured Event of Default or Unredeemed Repeated Default exists at the time the Building 3 Expansion Notice is delivered by Tenant. If a Building 3 Expansion Notice is ineffective when delivered, such Building 3 Expansion Notice shall be deemed delivered upon the cure of such Event of Default or the redemption of such Unredeemed Repeated Default, and if such Building 3 Expansion Notice is deemed delivered within the required time frame set forth in this Article 30, it shall be effective to exercise the applicable Building 3 Expansion Option. The preceding sentence shall in no way be deemed to expand the rights of Tenant to cure an Event of Default or redeem a Repeated Default, or limit the remedies of Landlord, beyond those otherwise set forth in this Lease.
44
ARTICLE 31
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
31.1. Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms of this Article 31, during the Term, Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer (the “First Offer Right”) to negotiate for the lease of any office space which becomes available from time-to-time (i) in Phase Two (both initially and after initial lease up), or (ii) in Building 3 after the initial lease up of such space to other tenants (each of such spaces being referred to as “First Offer Space”). The First Offer Space may be leased pursuant to the procedure set forth below, and any space so leased is referred to hereafter as the “Expansion Space.”
31.2. Upcoming Availability Report. Landlord shall, within 15 days after Tenant’s request (given no more than twice annually, not counting reminder notices), deliver to Tenant a report of all First Offer Space coming available in the Park during the next twelve (12) calendar months (the “Upcoming Availability Report”). For each new building in Phase Two, the Upcoming Availability Report shall list the date Landlord estimates it will substantially complete construction of the base building improvements and site work for such new building. After initial lease up to another tenant, whether in Building 3 or in buildings in Phase Two, the Upcoming Availability Report shall list the date Landlord expects the lease of the existing tenant of the First Offer Space to expire or otherwise terminate.
31.3. Delivery of Availability Notice. Before entering into binding lease agreements with any other tenants or prospective tenants with respect to any First Offer Space, Landlord shall offer the First Offer Space to Tenant by delivering to Tenant notice of the availability of First Offer Space (the “Availability Notice”). The Availability Notice must identify the size and location of the available First Offer Space (the “Available First Offer Space”), and the date Landlord expects it to become available. For new buildings in Phase Two, Landlord shall make the First Offer Space available to Tenant prior to initial lease up to any other tenant. After initial lease up to another tenant, the availability of such First Offer Space will be subject only to the lease term of the existing tenant of such space, and to the term of any renewal period(s) granted in such existing tenant’s initial lease (whether such tenant exercises its right to such renewal period(s) in accordance with the terms set forth in such tenant’s initial lease or subsequently negotiates renewal period(s) on different terms, so long as the renewal period(s) are not extended beyond the term of the renewal period(s) granted in such tenant’s initial lease). Commencing on the date of Tenant’s receipt of the Availability Notice, Tenant shall have 30 days to exercise its First Offer Right to lease all of the Available First Offer Space identified in the Availability Notice (or a lesser amount so long as such lesser amount constitutes one or more full floors) by delivering to Landlord within such 30-day period Tenant’s notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) of its irrevocable election to lease either all or a permitted lesser amount of the Available First Offer Space (as identified in the Acceptance Notice). The foregoing sentence notwithstanding, if Landlord fails to deliver an Upcoming Availability Report within the 15-day period required pursuant to Section 31.2, then the 30-day period for Tenant to elect to exercise the First Offer Right and lease the Available First Offer Space shall be extended by the number of days by which Landlord fails to timely deliver the Upcoming Availability Report to Tenant, except that the maximum number of days of extension shall be 30, plus the number of days by which Landlord fails to deliver the Upcoming Availability Report to Tenant after Tenant delivers a reminder notice to Landlord again requesting the Upcoming Availability Report that was not delivered.
45
31.4. Failure to Exercise First Offer Right. If Tenant fails to timely exercise its First Offer Right to lease the Available First Offer Space identified in Landlord’s Availability Notice within the 30-day time period set forth in Section 31.3 (as the same may have been extended pursuant to the terms of Section 31.3), time being of the essence, then Tenant’s First Offer Right with respect to said space shall automatically expire until such time as such space has been rented to another tenant and is about to become available again, at which time Landlord shall again be required to offer such space to Tenant pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article 31 prior to leasing it to any other tenants or prospective tenants.
31.5. Exercise of First Offer Right. If Tenant timely exercises its First Offer Right to lease all or a permitted lesser amount of the Available First Offer Space identified in Landlord’s Availability Notice, then the term of this Lease for such space (the “Expansion Space”) shall expire on the same date as the Term expires with respect to the original Premises (i.e., on the Expiration Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Lease, if the remainder of the Term at the time Tenant delivers its Acceptance Notice is less than five years, then in order for Tenant’s Acceptance Notice to be valid, Tenant must elect one of the following alternatives in its Acceptance Notice: (1) if one or more Renewal Options set forth in Article 29 is then remaining, Tenant may exercise the Renewal Option for the next available Renewal Period, even if the date of said exercise is prior to the date Tenant would otherwise be permitted to exercise such Renewal Option pursuant to Section 29.1 (but said exercise shall be irrevocable and Tenant may not thereafter deliver a Renewal Withdrawal Notice), and the procedure for the determination of the new economic terms for said Renewal Period shall not commence until the date it otherwise would have if Tenant had exercised said Renewal Option on the earliest date permitted by Section 29.1, and the new economic terms for said Renewal Period shall go into effect for the entire Premises (including all expansion spaces) on the same date it would have had Tenant exercised said Renewal Option at the time contemplated by Section 29.1 or (ii) Tenant may enter into a “stub” extension so that the Expiration Date of this Lease shall be extended to that date which is five (5) years from the First Offer Space Commencement Date, without Tenant losing (i.e., being deemed to have used) any of the then remaining Renewal Options set forth in Section 29.1. For purposes of this Article 31, the period of time from the original Expiration Date (at the expiration of the tenth (10th) Lease Year) to the new Expiration Date as extended by the immediately preceding sentence is referred to as the “Stub Period”). If the Stub Period is two (2) years or less, then all economic terms of this Lease shall remain the same for all Non-Expansion Space during the Stub Period, except that commencing on the first day of the Stub Period, which will be the beginning of the eleventh (11th) Lease year, the Base Rental Rate will be increased by 3%, i.e., to $29.23, and on each anniversary thereof during the Stub Period the Base Rental Rate will be increased by 3% of the amount of the Base Rental Rate in effect during the preceding Lease Year. If the Stub Period is more than two years, then all economic terms for the Non-Expansion Space shall be adjusted to equal 100% of the Current Market Rent. For a Stub Period of more than two years, if the parties have not executed a Lease amendment reflecting the economic terms for the Non-Expansion Space by the later of (i) 30 days after delivery of the Acceptance Notice, or (ii) 6 months prior to the expiration of the 10th Lease Year, then the Current Market Rent shall be determined pursuant to the Three Broker Method. For purposes of this Article 31, the term “Non-Expansion Space” shall mean all space within Buildings 1 and 2, and all additional space leased by Tenant before the applicable Acceptance Notice where the remainder of the Term at the time Tenant delivers its Acceptance Notice is less than five years.
31.6. Terms of Lease of Expansion Space. If Tenant timely exercises its First Offer Right to Lease such Available First Offer Space, then for the balance of the original Term, as it may have been extended by a Stub Period pursuant to Section 31.5, the Expansion Space identified in Tenant’s
46
Acceptance Notice shall be leased on the same terms and conditions as the Premises, except that the “Expansion Space Commencement Date” shall be upon Landlord’s delivery of possession thereof, provided that if Tenant elects for Landlord to construct the tenant improvements, the Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be upon the date of Landlord’s substantial completion of such tenant improvements as the parties shall agree to (with sufficient advance notice for Tenant to arrange move-in, installation of cabling, and the like); (ii) effective as of the Expansion Space Commencement Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be increased to include the Expansion Space; (iii) all economic terms shall be adjusted to equal one hundred percent (100%) of the then-prevailing Current Market Rent, except that the Security Deposit shall remain the same, subject to the provisions of Section 22.7. During the 45-day period following delivery of the Acceptance Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in. an effort to mutually agree upon the Current Market Rent, which agreement shall be evidenced by the parties execution of a Lease amendment reflecting such expansion and the economic terms thereof. If Landlord and Tenant fail to execute a Lease amendment reflecting such expansion within the aforesaid 45-day negotiation period, then Tenant may deliver to Landlord prior to the expiration of said 45-day negotiation period a notice withdrawing the exercise of its First Offer Right (the “First Offer Right Withdrawal Notice”), in which event the aforesaid First Offer Right shall automatically expire and become null and void with respect to the rentable area which is the subject of such Acceptance Notice. If Tenant does not deliver the First Offer Right Withdrawal Notice prior to the expiration of the aforesaid 45-day period without execution of such a Lease amendment, then the aforesaid Acceptance Notice shall become irrevocable and Current Market Rent shall be determined pursuant to the Three Broker Method.
31.7. Execution of Lease Amendment. The parties shall execute an amendment to this Lease reflecting the lease of the Expansion Space within 10 days after Tenant receives the amendment from Landlord but failure to execute such amendment shall not affect the commencement of the term for the Expansion Space or Tenant’s obligation to pay rent for the Expansion Space in accordance with this Article 31.
31.8. Tenant May Not Be in Default. Any Acceptance Notice delivered by Tenant shall be effective only if this Lease is in full force and effect and no uncured Event of Default or Unredeemed Repeated Default exists at the time the Acceptance Notice is delivered by Tenant. If an Acceptance Notice is ineffective when delivered, such Acceptance Notice shall be deemed delivered upon the cure of such Event of Default or the redemption of such Unredeemed Repeated Default, and if such Building 3 Acceptance Notice is deemed delivered within the required timeframe set forth in this Article 31, it shall be effective to exercise the applicable First Offer Right. The preceding sentence shall in no way be deemed to expand the rights of Tenant to cure an Event of Default or redeem a Repeated Default, or limit the remedies of Landlord, beyond those otherwise set forth in this Lease.
ARTICLE 32
MISCELLANEOUS
32.1. Joint and Several Liability. If Landlord or Tenant is composed of more than one signatory to this Lease, each signatory of Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) will be jointly and severally liable with each other signatory for payment and performance according to this Lease. The act of, notice to, notice from, refund to, or signature of any signatory of Landlord or Tenant (including modifications of this Lease made by fewer than all such signatories) will bind every other signatory of Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) as though every other signatory had so acted, or received or given the notice or refund, or signed.
47
32.2. No Construction Against Drafting Party. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that each of them and their counsel have had an opportunity to review this Lease and that this Lease will not be construed against Landlord merely because Landlord has prepared it.
32.3. No Recordation of Lease. This Lease may not be recorded; however, either party may elect, at its cost, to record a memorandum of this Lease, omitting all financial terms.
32.4. No Waiver. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any agreement, condition, or provision contained in this Lease will be valid or binding unless expressed in writing and signed by the party to be charged. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any agreement, condition, or provision contained in this Lease will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other agreement, condition, or provision contained in this Lease, nor will any custom or practice that may occur between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease be construed to waive or to lessen the right of either party to insist upon the performance by the other party in strict accordance with the terms of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by Landlord will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.
32.5. Limitation on Recourse. Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Park (including insurance, condemnation and sales proceeds thereof) for the recovery of any judgments against Landlord. It is agreed that Landlord (and its agents, shareholders, venturers, and partners, and their shareholders, venturers, and partners and all of their officers, directors and employees) will not be personally liable for any such judgments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall be subject to Landlord’s liability for the return of the Security Deposit under Section 22.3 i.e., in connection with a sale or other transfer of Landlord’s interest in the premises, Landlord shall not be released from liability for the return of the Security Deposit until the vendee or transferee has received the Security Deposit and assumed in writing Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.
32.6. Estoppel Certificates.

32.8. Holding Over. Tenant will have no right to remain in possession of all or any part of the Premises after the expiration of the Term and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises, reserving its rights to collect damages sustained by reason of Tenant’s unlawful retention of possession of the Premises or any part thereof; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be liable for any consequential damages (e.g., damages resulting from Landlord’s loss of a lease or from Landlord’s inability to deliver the Premises to a new tenant on time) unless Tenant holds over without Landlord’s consent for 90 days or more. If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part of the Premises after the expiration of the Term, with the express written consent of Landlord: (a) such tenancy will be deemed to be a periodic tenancy from month-to-month only; (b) such tenancy will not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease for any further term; and (c) such tenancy may be terminated by Landlord or Tenant upon notice to the other party, in which case such tenancy shall terminate on the last day of the next month following the month in which the termination notice is given.

49
32.10. Severability. If any provision of this Lease proves to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable (in its entirety or with respect to any person or circumstance), the remainder of this Lease will not be affected by such finding, and in lieu of each provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable a provision shall be deemed added as a part of this Lease as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.
32.11. Written Amendment Required. No amendment, alteration, modification of, or addition to the Lease will be valid or binding unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant.

In the event of any alleged default in the obligation of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant will deliver to Landlord notice listing the reasons for Landlord’s default and Landlord will have 30 days following receipt of such notice to cure such alleged default (the “30-Day Cure Period”) or, in the event the alleged default cannot reasonably be cured within a 30-day period, to commence action and proceed diligently to cure such alleged default. A copy of such notice to Landlord will be sent to any holder of a mortgage or other encumbrance on the Premises of which Tenant has been notified in writing, and (so long as such holder agrees in writing to undertake the cure) any such holder will also have an additional like period to cure such alleged default. If (i) Landlord fails to cure any such alleged default within the 30-Day Cure Period or, if the alleged default cannot reasonably be cured within the 30-Day Cure Period, Landlord fails to commence curing such alleged default and to proceed diligently to cure such alleged default within a reasonable time period thereafter, and (ii) the alleged default adversely affects any of the following aspects of the Premises: access, life safety systems, lighting, elevators, electricity, HVAC or the restrooms, then Tenant may cure the alleged default.

32.15. Authority. Tenant and the party executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represent to Landlord that such party is authorized to do so by requisite action of the board of directors or partners, as the case may be, and agree upon request to deliver to Landlord a resolution or similar document to that effect.

After one late payment is made during a given Lease Year of which Landlord has given Tenant notice, the late charge shall apply automatically, without notice to Tenant, to any further payments during that Lease Year made after the expiration of the 5-business day period provided herein. In no event will Tenant be entitled to receive notice before accrual of the interest provided in this Section.

32.24. Force Majeure.

32.28. Limitation on Landlord’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease shall be limited to direct damages and shall not include indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, including any liability to Tenant for lost profits or interruption of business; provided, however, that this Section shall not be construed to limit any right expressly granted to Tenant in this Lease to abate or set off against Rent or to terminate this Lease.

32.32. Extension of Time for Performance to Next Business Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if the time period for performance of an obligation under this Lease falls on a non-business day, the time for performance shall be extended to the following business day.
52
32.33. As-Built Plans. Upon completion of the Premises, Landlord, at its cost, shall provide Tenant with a set of as-built plans for the Premises.

RECITALS:
R-1. Landlord and Tenant are parties to an Office Lease dated December 19, 2000 (the “Original Lease”) for Premises consisting of Building I and Building 2 in the Park, which is located at the intersection of Great Seneca Highway and Key West Avenue in Gaithersburg, Maryland. As of the date hereof, construction of the Premises has begun but is not completed.
R-2. Pursuant to this Amendment, Landlord and Tenant wish to (1) expand the Premises to include Building 3, and (ii) modify certain other terms of the Original Lease (The Original Lease, as amended by this Amendment, is referred to hereafter as the “Lease.”)
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals and Exhibits. The Recitals set forth above and the Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein mid made a part of this Amendment to the same extent as if set forth herein in full.
2. Amendment to Definition of Premises to Include Building 3. Section 1.1(d) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following substituted in its place:
(d) PREMISES: The portion of the Park consisting of the buildings identified on the Site Plan as Building 1, Building 2 and Building 3 in their entirety. The Premises include the atrium that will serve as the lobby for both Building 1 and Building 2. The Premises are outlined in red on the Site Plan.
As a result of this expansion of the Premises to include Building 3, all terms of the Lease applicable to the Premises (including the Base Rental Rate, Allowance and Additional Allowance) shall apply to Building 3 to the same extent as if Building 3 had been part of the Premises originally.
3. Amendment to Site Plan to Include Building 3 in the Premises. The Site Plan, which is attached to the Original Lease as Exhibit C and defined in Section 1.1(c) of the Original Lease, is hereby deleted and Exhibit C attached hereto is substituted in its place. (The only change made to the Site Plan as a result of this substitution is to include Building 3 as part of the area outlined in red, which delineates the Premises.)
4. Amendment to Definition of Building 3 to Increase Square Footage. Section 1.1(j) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following substituted in its place:
(j) BUILDING 3: The portion of the Park consisting of the building identified on the Site Plan as Building 3. The rentable area of Building 3 (as determined in accordance with the Modified GWCAR Method of Measurement) is estimated to be 72,599 rentable square feet.
5. Amendment to Definition of Premises Rentable Area to Increase Square Footage. Section 1.1(1) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following substituted in its place:
(l) PREMISES RENTABLE AREA: The total number of rentable square feet in the Premises, as determined in accordance with the Modified GWCAR Method of Measurement. Subject to adjustment under Section 3.3, the Premises Rentable Area is estimated to be 282,783 rentable square feet.
6. Increase in Security Deposit. Section 1.1(s) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the
following substituted in its place:
(s) SECURITY DEPOSIT: $7,937,900 initially, subject to reduction as provided in Article 22.
7. Amendment to Payment of Security Deposit. Section 22.1 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following substituted in its place:
22.1 Payment of Security Deposit. Tenant will deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall be held as collateral security, and not prepaid rent, for the faithful performance by Tenant of all covenants, conditions, and agreements of the Lease. The Security Deposit shall be deposited with Landlord in three installments, the first and second of which shall be in the amount of $2,950,000 each, and the third of which shall be in the amount of $2,037,900. Landlord acknowledges receipt of the first and second installments, which were made with a letter of credit. The third such installment shall be deposited within 10 business days after the execution of this Amendment by Landlord and Tenant.
8. Amendment to Reduction of Security Deposit. Section 22.6 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following substituted in its place:
22.6 Reduction of Security Deposit.
(a) Effective on first day of the third, fifth, seventh and ninth Lease Years (each a “Reduction Date”), the amount of the Security Deposit shall be reduced to $6,054,330, $4,036,220, $2,690,815, and $1,345,405, respectively (the “Reduction Schedule”); provided, however, that each such reduction shall be permitted only if, as of the effective date of such reduction, Tenant is not in default under the Lease and the conditions of this Section 22.6 are otherwise satisfied. If Tenant is in default on the effective date of a reduction under this Section 22.6, the effective date of the reduction, if any, shall be delayed until 30 days after Tenant cures the default.
(b) If during any two consecutive Lease Years more than three monetary Events of Default occur (a “Repeated Default”), then the Security Deposit shall riot be reduced at the next Reduction Date and the remaining Reduction Schedule shall be delayed for two Lease Years. Thus, the effective date of the next reduction, if any, shall be delayed until the commencement of the following Reduction Date; provided, however, that any further reduction shall not be effective unless Tenant has cured all outstanding Events of Default and there has been no monetary Event of Default for a period of 12 consecutive months (until such time, such Repeated Default shall be referred to as an “Unredeemed Repeated Default”).
9. Administrative Fee for Change Orders. For each Change Order proposed by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord an administrative fee equal to 5% of the portion of the total cost of the Change Order consisting of “hard” construction costs. Tenant shall not be required to pay Landlord any other fee in connection with Change Orders. This administrative fee may be paid from the Allowance or Additional Allowance, and shall be paid within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefore.
10. Option to Terminate with Respect to Building 3.
(a) Pursuant to this Section 10, Tenant will have the option to terminate the Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises consisting of Building 3 only (the “Termination Option”). Tenant may not exercise the Termination Option for only part of Building 3. If exercised by Tenant in accordance with this Section, the Termination Option shall terminate the Lease with respect to Building 3 effective as of the last day of the seventh Lease Year (the “Termination Date”). Tenant shall have the right to exercise the Termination Option upon: (i) notice from Tenant to Landlord (the “Termination Notice”) given at least nine months before the Termination Date, and (ii) payment by Tenant to Landlord of the “Termination Fee” [as defined in subsection (b) below], which payment shall be made with the Termination Notice.
2
(b) The Termination Fee shall equal the unamortized portion of the Allowance and Additional Allowance allocable to Building 3, which shall be determined as follows. The portion of the Allowance and Additional Allowance allocable to Building 3 shall be determined by multiplying the total Allowance and Additional Allowance for the entire Premises used by Tenant by 25.67% (the percentage that the number of rentable square feet in Building 3 bears to the Premises Rentable Area). The product of that equation will then be multiplied by 30% to arrive at the Termination Fee. (30% equals the remaining portion of the Initial Term as of the end of the seventh Lease Year.)
(c) If Tenant exercises its Termination Option, Tenant shall pay, in addition to the Termination Fee, all Rent as and when it becomes due under the lease with respect to Building 3 up to and including the Termination Date.
(d) If Tenant exercises the Termination Option, the Lease shall terminate on the Termination Date as to Building 3 only, and, on or before the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender possession of Building 3 to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease at the end of the Term. If Tenant fails to so surrender possession of Building 3 to Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for hold over rent with respect to Building 3 in accordance with Section 32.8 of the Original Lease.
(e) Within 30 days after Tenant exercises the Termination Option, the parties shall enter into a lease amendment to reflect the termination of the Lease with respect to Building 3.
(f) Tenant may not exercise the Termination Option if Tenant is in default under the Lease (and any applicable notice and cure period has expired). In addition, if the Termination Option has been timely exercised but on the Termination Date Tenant is in default under the Lease (and any applicable notice and cure period has expired), then, at Landlord’s election, Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option shall lapse and be of no further force and effect. If Tenant’s right to terminate the Lease lapses pursuant to this subsection, the Termination Fee paid by Tenant shall be applied against any sums then due Landlord under the Lease and the excess of the Termination Fee shall be applied against future Rent payable by Tenant under the Lease.
(g) If the Lease is terminated with respect to Building 3 pursuant to this Section, the Security Deposit that Tenant is otherwise required to maintain under the Lease shall be reduced by 25.67%. This reduction also will apply to the Reduction Schedule in Section 22.6 of the Lease. If Landlord is holding a cash Security Deposit, Landlord will refund the excess portion thereof within 30 days after the Termination Date. if the Security Deposit is in the form of a letter of credit or Bond, Tenant may effectuate this reduction at any time after the Termination Date by providing Landlord with either a replacement of or an amendment to the then existing letter of credit or Bond.
11. Additional Reserved Parking. Section 27.2 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following substituted in its place:
27.2. Reserved Spaces. Seventy-three (73) of the Parking Spaces shall be reserved for use by Tenant (the “Reserved Parking Spaces”). Tenant shall pay the cost of painting (and repainting, as needed) the Reserved Parking Spaces with a “Manugistics Reserved” designation. Exhibit K to the Original Lease is hereby deleted and Exhibit K attached hereto is substituted in its place. Exhibit K hereto shows the location of the Reserved Parking Spaces.
12. Signs. Section 26.1 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following substituted in its place:
26.1 Exterior Signs; Monuments. Tenant, at its cost, may install (i) two signs on the exterior of Building 1, one sign on the exterior of Building 2, and one sign on the exterior of Building 3, with its
3
name and logo(s) collectively, “Tenant’s Exterior Signs”), and (ii) one ground mounted monument on the grounds of Phase One (“Tenant’s Monument Sign”), the location of which shall be selected by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant’s right to display its name and logo on Tenant’s Exterior Signs and Tenant’s Monument Sign shall be exclusive. Tenant, at its cost, also shall have the nonexclusive right to display its name and logo(s) on any ground mounted monuments at the intersection of Key West Boulevard and/or Great Seneca Highway that are provided by Landlord to display the names of tenants in Phase One (“Tenant’s Nonexclusive Monument Signs” and hereinafter, together with Tenant’s Exterior Signs and Tenant’s Monument Sign, collectively referred to as “Tenant’s Signs”). If permitted by law, Landlord shall provide at least one such ground mounted monument for the display of tenant names in Phase One.
13. Amendment to Building 3 Expansion Option. Article 30 of the Original Lease (entitled “Building 3 Expansion Option”) shall be of no further force or effect unless and until the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) the Lease is terminated with respect to Building 3 pursuant to Section 10 of this Amendment and (ii) Tenant exercises its first Renewal Option. Upon the fulfillment of these conditions, Article 30 of the Original Lease shall apply again, effective as of the date both conditions are fulfilled.
14. Amendment to Right of First Offer.
(a) Subject to subsection (b) below, Section 31.1 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following substituted in its place:
31.1 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms of this Article 31, during the Term, Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer (the “First Offer Right”) to negotiate for the lease of any office space which becomes available from time-to-time in Phase Two, both initially and after initial lease up (each of such spaces being referred to as “First Offer Space”). The First Offer Space may be leased pursuant to the procedure set forth below, and any space so leased is referred to hereafter as the “Expansion Space.”
(b) Subsection (a) above shall no longer apply and Section 31.1 shall be restored to the language in the Original Lease if the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) the Lease is terminated with respect to Building 3 pursuant to Section 10 of this Amendment, and (ii) Tenant exercises its first Renewal Option. Upon the fulfillment of these conditions, Article 31.1 of the Original Lease shall apply again, effective as of the date both conditions are fulfilled,
15. Broker Commission. Landlord and Tenant each warrants and represents to the other that no broker brought about this transaction or dealt with either party in connection herewith. Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any claim for brokerage fees or other commissions arising from such party having employed a broker contrary to its representation in this Section.
16. Capitalized Terms, All capitalized terms in this Amendment shall have the same meanings as in the Original Lease unless expressly provided otherwise herein.
17. Ratified and Confirmed. The Original Lease, as amended by this Amendment, is hereby ratified and confirmed. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Amendment and the Original Lease, this Amendment will govern.

3. Right to Use Letter of Credit. The third sentence of Section 22.4 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and replaced by the following:

THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE
THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (this “Amendment”) is made this 20th day of July, 2004, by and between (i) JOHN F. JAEGER, as Trustee under Land Trust Agreement dated August 29, 1989 (“Landlord”), and (ii) MANUGISTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
WITNESSETH:
RECITALS:
R-1. Landlord and Tenant entered into an Office Lease dated December 19, 2000, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated June 14, 2001 (the “First Amendment”), as amended by that certain Second Amendment to Office Lease dated March 24, 2003 (collectively, the “Lease”) for premises consisting of Building 1, Building 2 and Building 3 in the Park (the “Premises”), which is located at the intersection of Great Seneca Highway and Key West Avenue, Rockville, Maryland. (The Lease incorrectly states that the Premises are located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. They are in fact located in Rockville, Maryland.)
R.2. The Initial Term of the Lease is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2012.
R.3. The Rentable Area of the Premises is 282,783 rentable square feet, as determined in accordance with the Modified GWCAR Method of Measurement.
R.4. Landlord is selling Phase One of the Park and desires to remove certain rights of Tenant from the Lease and incorporate such rights in a separate agreement relating to Phase Two and Phase Three of the Park.
R.5. Landlord and Tenant wish to modify the Lease in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and made a part of this Amendment to the same extent as if set forth herein in full.
2. Notice Address. The address information for notice to Tenant’s counsel set forth in Section 1.1(b) of the Lease is hereby changed to the following: Venerable LLP, 575 7th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20004, Attention: Philip M. Horowitz, Esquire.
3. Lease Year. Section 1(t) of the Lease is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(t) LEASE YEAR: The period from July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003, and each July 1-June 30 period thereafter.
4. Reconciliation of Operating Expenses.
(a) Landlord acknowledges receipt of the Rent payment for July, 2004 in the amount of $429,034.21, reflecting a charge for Monthly Rent in the amount of $543,650.32, plus a charge for the monthly installment payment of Operating Expenses in the amount of $125,716.55, less a credit for a previous overpayment of Operating Expenses in the amount of $240,332.66.
(b) The Real Estate Tax bill for the July 1, 2002-June 30, 2003 period was due and payable by Landlord to Montgomery County on September 15, 2002., Tenant agrees that despite the proration language of Section 5.1 of the Lease, the entire amount of the July 1, 2002-June 30, 2003 Real Estate Tax bill was included in Operating Expenses for calendar year 2002 and Tenant paid such amount to Landlord. Therefore, for the eight (8) month period of occupancy during calendar year 2002 (May 1-December 31), Tenant paid Real Estate Taxes for fourteen (14) months (May 1, 2002-June 30, 2003). In addition, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant has paid the full amount of Real Estate Taxes due through June 30, 2004. From and after January 1, 2004 (assuming the Montgomery County Real Estate Tax year is not revised), Operating Expenses for each calendar year shall include Real Estate Taxes for the period from July 1st of such calendar year through June 30th of the succeeding calendar year, and Tenant shall pay such amounts on a monthly estimated basis in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provisions of Article 5 of the Lease to the contrary; during the final calendar year of the Term, Operating Expenses shall expressly exclude any Real Estate Taxes attributable to such calendar year which have previously been included in Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year; if the Term ends prior to June 30, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within thirty (30) days of expiration of the Term, the amount of any overpayment by Tenant of Real Estate Taxes.
(c) The following sentence is added at the end of Section 5.3:
“In all events, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment of Operating Expenses by Tenant for any calendar year no later than June 30 of the following calendar year.”
5. Cap on Controllable Operating Expenses. Section 5.9 of the Lease is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
5.9 Cap on Controllable Operating Expenses.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, starting with the first full year after the Comparison Period, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Controllable Operating Expenses allowed to be passed through to Tenant hereunder (the “Controllable Operating Expense Cap”). If Landlord incurs Controllable Operating Expenses Cap, the excess Controllable Operating Expenses shall be carried forward and treated as a Controllable Operating Expense in the following and each subsequent year until the excess is used (or until the Expiration Date, if earlier). The term
“Controllable Operating Expenses” means all Operating Expenses except for (i) Real Estate Taxes, (ii) liability and casualty insurance costs, (iii) utility costs, (iv) snow removal, and (v) Permitted Capital Expenditures. For purposes of calculating the Controllable Operating Expense Cap only, items covered under warranty (and not passed through to Tenant because not actually incurred) shall be deemed to be included in Operating Expenses, starting with the year before the year in which the warranty expires.
(b) The Comparison Period shall be the period from the Lease Commencement Date (May 1, 2002) to the end of calendar year 2002, which period shall be “grossed up” as if it were a full year, the intent being for the Comparison Period to reflect Controllable Operating Expenses for a full 12 months.
(c) In calculating the Controllable Operating Expense Cap, Section 5.7 shall apply with respect to the Comparison Period and all subsequent years.
6. Modification of Right of First Offer. Article 31 of the Lease, as amended by Section 14 of the First Amendment is hereby deleted to the extent it relates to Phase Two, but shall remain in effect with respect to Phase One, including the ability to expand in Building 3, as well as the ability to enter into a “stub” extension as set forth in Section 31.5 of the Lease.
7. Deletion of Section 26.6. Section 26.6 of the Lease (entitled “Phase Two Signage”) is hereby deleted in its entirety.
8. Modification on Restrictions on Exterior Park Signage. Section 26.9 of the Lease is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
26.9 Restrictions on Exterior Signage in Phase One. No tenant shall be permitted any flags or other exterior signage in Phase One except as follows: (i) monument signs; (ii) signs on the exterior of buildings, subject to the limitations in this Article, and (iii) for ground floor retail tenants only, exterior signage directly above each tenant’s premises, which shall be below the second floor and no longer than the length of each tenant’s premises. All exterior monument, building façade and retail signage in Phase One shall be subject to uniform signage criteria established by Landlord, which shall be consistent with the signage criteria in modern Class A office parks of similar age, quality and location in the Northern I-270 Corridor.
9. Antenna Roof Rights. Section 28.10 of the Lease is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
14. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed under seal as of the date above written.
