     R-2 The due diligence period under the Contract expires on December 21, 2007 at 5:00 PM EST;
     R-3 It is the intent of Seller and Purchaser to amend the Contract to, among other things, include certain additional conditions to Closing, and to establish Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective rights and obligations with respect to such conditions.
WITNESSTH:
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid, the mutual covenants and responsibilities reflected herein, the premises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties hereby agree as follows:
     1. Terminology. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Contract
     2. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as if set forth at length.
     3. Amendments.
          a. Section 3 of the Contract is hereby amended by modifying the Purchase Price to Sixteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($16,000,000.00).
          b. Title:
               (i) That certain Sanitary Sewer Easement and Cost Sharing Agreement dated September 14, 2004 and recorded as Instrument No. 20041007-0108681,
 
 
 

 

 
 
among the land records of Loudoun County, Virginia (the “Cost Sharing Agreement”) provides for the payment to Comstock Loudoun Station, L.C. (“Comstock”) of a sum equal to 12.7% of the cost of engineering, construction, permitting, bonding, land/easement acquisition and associated fees for the construction of certain Facilities (as defined in the Cost Sharing Agreement). It is the understanding of Seller and Purchaser that such Facilities have been constructed. As contemplated in Section 18 of that certain Contract between Reliance Insurance Company as Seller and TC MidAtlantic Development, Inc (as subsequently assigned to TC Epicenter, LLC) as Purchaser dated February 8, 2005 (the “Reliance Contract”), the sum due to Comstock from the Property under the Cost Sharing Agreement was fixed at an amount equal to 5.1% of the total costs of the Facilities with a maximum reimbursement of $130,650.00. Unless on or before Closing, Seller provides a certificate executed by Comstock in recordable form that the payment required from the Property under the Cost Sharing Agreement has been made then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by $130,650.00 and Purchaser shall release Seller from all obligation for any payment due from the owner of the Property under or pursuant to the Cost Sharing Agreement.
               (ii) That certain Access, Easement and Maintenance Agreement dated September 28, 1993, recorded in Deed Book 1256, at Page 277, among the land records of Loudoun County, Virginia created an access easement that bisects the Property. Purchaser’s title company has agreed not to take exception to such access easement if Seller executes an affidavit in recordable form affirming to the best of its knowledge that such easement has terminated in accordance with its terms. Seller hereby agrees to execute such an affidavit in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, containing no indemnification and limited to the best of Seller’s knowledge. In the event Seller and Purchaser’s title company are unable to agree on the form of such affidavit, the same shall not be deemed a failed condition to closing and Purchaser shall irrespective thereof be obligated to proceed with Settlement.
               (iii) That certain Easement Agreement dated December 11, 1997 between Miller and Smith at Dulles Parkway Center, L.L.C. and Reliance Insurance Company purports to grant to Miller and Smith certain easements over the Reliance Property (as defined in such agreement) generally in the area defined in such agreement as “Miller and Smith Easement Areas”. The Miller and Smith Easement Areas are described as shown on a plat that is not attached to such agreement. Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain from Miller and Smith and deliver to Purchaser prior to closing an estoppel certificate in recordable form (and in a form to be supplied by Purchaser) confirming that such easement agreement does not encumber the Property; provided the same shall under no circumstances be deemed a condition precedent to closing under the Contract.
          c. As contemplated in Section 10(vi) of the Contract, all required off-site easements or off-site right-of-way necessary for the construction of Purchaser’s Improvements including with respect to the Shellhorn Road Improvements (as defined herein) are to be recorded prior to Closing. Such condition is amended to provide that Seller shall obtain and record in the land records of Loudoun County an executed “Agreement to Cooperate” from each party for which an offsite easement or right-of-way is required in order to construct the Shellhorn Road Improvements which agreements shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D except such agreements shall also be executed by any trustees and lenders under any deeds of
 
 
 

 
2

 
 
trusts encumbering the property of such off-site owners. A list of the plats depicting the off-site easements and right-of-way known to be required to date for such Shellhorn Road Improvements is set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Any costs associated with the acquisition of such off-site right-of-way and easements including any payment to, or construction for the benefit of, the party granting such right-of-way or easement shall be paid by Seller.
          d. Section 13 of the Contract contemplated that Purchaser would be seeking certain written confirmation from Loudoun County of what Proffers were the obligation of the Property, including what Proffers must be performed to develop the Property with the Purchaser’s Improvements. A copy of the written confirmation that Purchaser shall submit is set forth as Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Receipt of such written confirmation shall not be deemed a condition precedent to Settlement hereunder.
          e. Shellhorn Road Construction. Seller shall, during the pendency of the Contract, at its sole cost and expense, and MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC (“MRP”), shall, subsequent to Closing, at its sole cost and expense, diligently and continuously pursue the approval of the Shellhorn Road Improvements along the Property’s entire frontage including obtaining any required wetlands permit required in connection with the CPAP (as defined below) (the “Shellhorn Road Improvements”) as such improvements are shown on those Construction Plans and Profiles CPAP 2007-0079 prepared by Urban Engineering & Associates dated December 11, 2007 and as ultimately approved by Loudoun County, Virginia (“Shellhorn Road CPAP”). In addition to obtaining the approval of the Shellhorn Road CPAP, Seller (prior to Closing) and MRP (subsequent to Closing) shall diligently and continuously pursue obtaining the approval of the flood plain alteration study prepared by Urban Engineering & Associates dated September 24, 2007 (County Reference No. FPAL 2007-0026) and associated easements (the “Flood Plain Alteration”) which easement (or in lieu thereof Agreements to Cooperate) shall be part of the agreements to be obtained prior to Closing pursuant to Section 3.c. hereof. Purchaser’s sole responsibility with respect to obtaining the approval of the Shellhorn Road CPAP and the Flood Plain Alteration shall be to post the bonds required by Loudoun County and the Virginia Department of Transportation with respect to the same. Within thirty (30) days of the Shellhorn Road CPAP being approved by Loudoun County, subject only to the posting of such bonds, and Purchaser being given written notice of the same by Seller, Purchaser shall give MRP written notice (at the address set forth on the signature page hereof) of whether it desires to have MRP construct the Shellhorn Road Improvements shown thereon, which improvements shall include any required utility relocations associated with the Shellhorn Road Improvements. If Purchaser elects to have MRP construct the Shellhorn Road Improvements, MRP shall commence such improvements within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s notice to proceed (but not later than 60 days subsequent to the approval of the Shellhorn Road CPAP) and shall diligently and continuously pursue such construction to “Completion”. Completion shall be defined as the acceptance of such road by the Virginia Department of Transportation for maintenance and the release of all bonds posted with Loudoun County and the Virginia Department of Transportation with respect to such improvements. Purchaser shall pay to MRP the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) in payment of MRP’s construction of the Shellhorn Road Improvements. Such funds shall be disbursed by Purchaser to MRP based
 
 
 

 
3

 
 
on monthly draws on a standard AIA form draw request, including lien waivers from the contractors and subcontractors performing the work and satisfactory inspections by a third party engineer reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and MRP that the work for such draw is requested has been completed in accordance with the approved plans therefore. Any cost incurred in the construction of Shellhorn Road Improvements in excess of the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) shall be paid by MRP. Any portion of the $1,500,000 which has not been previously funded to MRP shall be paid to MRP within ten (10) days of Completion.
          f. Pursuant to Proffer IX.F of the Proffers, “In the event that any one or more of the individual roadway improvements proffered by the Applicant is substantially performed by others prior to bonding for such construction by the Applicant, the actual paid and reasonable construction costs of such individual improvements shall be contributed by the Applicant to the County in lieu of Applicant’s construction obligation.” Figure I in Exhibit C to the Proffers, which includes the Property indicates that, as a part of the development of the Property, Route 607 northeast of Shellhorn Road was to be constructed by the owner of the Property as four lanes of a six lane divided roadway. Such road construction was performed by others thereby potentially triggering the cash in lieu of construction proffer set forth in Proffer IX.F. Seller agrees to escrow at closing the sum of $326,550.15 (the “Loudoun County Parkway Extension Escrow”). If (i) at the time of site plan approval for the Purchaser’s Improvements Loudoun County has not as part of such site plan approval required the payment of the cash in lieu of the Loudoun County Parkway Extension, and (ii) in response to the Purchaser’s Proffer interpretation (but not later than such site plan approval), Loudoun County has indicated that the owner of Property is not responsible for paying the cash in lieu of construction proffer for the Loudoun County Parkway Extension, then such escrow funds shall be released to the Seller. On the other hand, if at the time of such site plan approval or receipt of the proffer interpretation from Loudoun County (but not later than site plan approval), whichever occurs later, Loudoun County has indicated that the owner of the Property is responsible for the cash in lieu of construction proffer associated with such Loudoun County Parkway Extension, then the escrow funds shall be released to Purchaser up to the amount required to be paid by Purchaser to Loudoun County with any balance to be paid to Seller. In consideration of the foregoing, Purchaser covenants and agrees that it shall continue to prosecute to completion (or until the County has indicated pursuant to the preceding sentence that such cash in lieu payment is due) at its cost and expense, approval of the site plan in the form as previously submitted for the Property by Seller, which prosecution shall be diligent, in good faith and without interruption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Loudoun County determines that the owner of the Property is responsible for the entirety of the cash in lieu of construction proffer associated with such Loudoun County Parkway Extension (as opposed to a pro rata portion thereof) Seller shall have the right to appeal such determination and each of Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that Seller may retain Brian J. Cullen for purposes of prosecuting such negotiation and appeal; with any refund of the amount so paid being the sole property of Seller.
          g. Section 18 and 19(h) of the Contract are modified to permit Purchaser to make any disclosures required by applicable law, court order or governmental authority, including, but not limited to, any disclosures required to be made by the Securities Exchange Commission as part of any periodic filing requirement.

     4. Full Force and Effect. Except as modified herein, all of the provisions of the Contract shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.
     5. Counterpart Execution. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute one original.

Form of Proffer Interpretation Request

1 Harrison Street, S.E., 3rd Floor
Leesburg, VA 20177
     Re:     Loudoun Parkway Center; ZMAP 1990-0015
Dear Susan:
I.   BACKGROUND
     As a follow-up to our meeting of November 29, 2007, with you and Marilee, we represent National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (“CFC”) which is contemplating relocating its corporate headquarters from Fairfax County to Loudoun County and specifically to that portion of Loudoun Parkway Center known as Land Bay M. On February 3, 1993, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors approved ZMAP 1990-0015 for Loudoun Parkway Center subject to the Proffer Statement dated December 11, 1992 and the letter of clarification dated February 2, 1993. A copy of the Copy Teste and Proffers with the letter of clarification are enclosed as Tab A. Additionally, by Proffer Determination dated September 13, 2006, you clarified certain matters with respect to the phasing of the construction of Route 643, also known as Shellhorn Road. A copy of such Proffer Determination is attached as Tab B.
II.   PURPOSE
     Loudoun Parkway Center was originally conceived as a large planned community, the development of which would be overseen by Reliance Insurance Company as a master developer. Reliance experienced financial difficulty and the ownership of the project has been splintered into several different owners. The purpose of this request is to determine (i) what proffers must be complied with in order to obtain permits for the development and use of Land
 
 
 

 
11

 
 
Bay M and (ii) what proffers could potentially restrict the development of Land Bay M, in both cases for development, at an FAR of 0.5 for PD-OP uses (subject to the entire PD-OP portions of the project not exceed an FAR of 0.4).
III.   DETERMINATION REQUEST
     In contemplation of its potential acquisition of Land Bay M, CFC would request your determination with respect to the following matters:
     1. Proffer IX.A. provides, among other things that
“Consistent with the Concept Plan, the Applicant shall construct or bond for the construction the four lanes of on-site roads prior to final approval of any subdivision or site plan in the project that is projected to cause any on-site road to reach 8,000 vehicle trips per day based on the trip generation rate established by the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 5th edition, and as agreed to by the County and the Applicant”.
     As we discussed, it is our understanding of this proffer that it is intended to provide that if a particular road exceeds 8,000 vehicle trips per day, then that particular road must be four laned prior to the approval of the subdivision or site plan that would result in that particular road exceeding 8,000 vehicle trips per day. We do not read this language to contemplate that if any on-site road reaches 8,000 vehicle trips per day then all the on-site roads must be four laned. Please confirm our understanding is correct (“Request Number 1”).
     Additionally, please confirm that the development of Land Bay M at an FAR of 0.5 for a total gross floor area of 590,238 of PD-OP uses in conjunction with any other existing development in Loudoun Parkway Center will not require that the owner of Land Bay M four lane any other road other than Shellhorn Road from the eastern boundary of Land Bay M to its intersection with Loudoun County Parkway, i.e., please confirm that our development will not be deemed “to cause any on-site road to reach 8,000 vehicle trips per day” other then on-site roads that have already been “four laned" other than Shellhorn Road to the eastern
 
 
 

 
12

 
 
boundary of Land Bay M (“Request Number 2”). Attached as Tab C is an annotated version of Exhibit C to the Proffers which shows which roads have been four-laned.
     2. Additionally, Proffer IX.B. provides:
“The Applicant’s development utilizing on-site linkages only shall generate no more than 20,000 average daily trips as determined by reference to the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 5th edition, and as agreed upon by the County and Applicant”.
This Proffer further provides that:
“No zoning permits shall be issued for development on the Property which generates more than 20,000 average daily trips . . . unless off-site roadway links are in place sufficient to accommodate the ADT’s generated by development based upon the ADT increments shown on such figures, and provided further that each such off-site link is connected to an appropriate on-site roadway link as well as to the point of off-site terminus set forth on Exhibit C”.
          This in essence creates a bank of average daily trips against which the Loudoun Parkway Center’s development must be phased. Based on your follow-up e-mail to me, we should use the 7th edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual in calculating how many average daily trips are currently generated by Loudoun Parkway Center. The annotated version of Exhibit C of the Proffers attached as Tab C shows that a total of 37,400 average daily trips are available to Loudoun Parkway Center. Please confirm that you agree with this number (“Request Number 3”). Assuming you agree that there a total of 37,400 average daily trips available to Loudoun Parkway Center, the number of average daily trips that are currently in the “bank” against which the owner of Land Bay M must make sure that its development does not generate average daily trips in excess of equals 37,400 less the number of trips generated by the existing development at Loudoun Parkway Center (which at this point is just the residential development). For example, if the current average daily trips generated by
 
 
 

 
13

 
 
the Loudoun Parkway Center project is 11,000, then based on the current status of the on and off-site road improvements the number of trips available to Land Bay M would be 37,400 - 11,000=26,400. Additionally, please confirm that upon obtaining site plan approval for Land Bay M, such Land Bay shall be deemed to have been allocated a number of average daily trips from the “Bank” sufficient to accommodate the development shown on such site plan, i.e., Land Bay M will be vested in the development shown on the site plan for so long as such site plan remains valid (“Request Number 4”).
     3. Proffer IX.F. provides that
“In the event that any one or more of the individual roadway improvements proffered by the Applicant herein is substantially performed by others prior to bonding for such construction by the Applicant, the actual paid and reasonable construction costs of such individual improvements shall be contributed by the Applicant to the County in lieu of the Applicant’s construction obligation. Such contributions in lieu of actual construction shall occur at the time specified in the applicable Proffer for construction or bonding of a specific improvement and shall be used for off-site roadway improvements in the vicinity and for the benefit of the Property ... ”
     The annotated version of Exhibit C to the Proffers (attached as Tab C) shows which of the “on-site” proffered road improvements might have been constructed by others. Please confirm that if the County seeks a cash contribution for any of these improvements it will do so pro rata from all the owners within Loudoun Parkway Center (including the residential) not just one particular owner (“Request Number 5”). CFC has no objection to paying a pro rata share for such road improvements but would not want to pay the entire amount as a condition of a plan approval or permit, i.e. there should be no selective enforcement.
     4. Proffer XI requires the creation of a Lot Owners Association. A now defunct former owner/developer of Loudoun Parkway Center had created an association, however, Land
 
 
 

 
14

 
 
Bay M was never subjected to such association and such association is inactive to the best of our knowledge. Proffer 11 provides that:
“Lots proposed to be, or which are in fact apart of the lot Owners Association may be withdrawn and made a part of another Lot Owners Association “.
     Again, Land Bay M was never made a part of the Lot Owners Association created by the defunct developer, but please confirm that the owner of Land Bay M may establish a separate Lot Owners Association for Land Bay M and be in compliance with Proffer XIA (“Request Number 6”).
     Should you have any questions concerning the above, please call me.
         
  Very truly yours,

Benjamin F. Tompkins
