EXHIBIT B-1

TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between METRO PARK I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and GOVCONNECTION, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 7501 and 7503 Standish Place, Rockville, Maryland 20855. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit B-1 shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Lease of which this Exhibit B-1 is a part.

1. In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in the Lease, Landlord agrees to perform the following tenant improvement work in the Premises (“Tenant Improvements”):

DESCRIPTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

 

  A. Re-carpet the currently carpeted areas of the Premises. Notwithstanding Landlord’s building standard options, Landlord will agree to supply and install carpet tiles based upon a reasonable, mutually agreed upon carpet tile selection taking the cost of such carpet tiles into consideration. As part of this work, any areas that currently have vinyl composition tile (VCT) shall be re-tiled using a selection from Landlord’s building standard VCT options.

 

  B. Re-paint the Premises including the restrooms, doors and door frames using a selection from Landlord’s building standard options.

 

  C. Refurbish the existing restrooms based upon the following scope:

 

  1. Remove the existing flooring and replace with a selection from Landlord’s building standard VCT options.

 

  2. Remove existing sinks and fixtures and install new building standard sinks and fixtures with laminate countertops and base cabinetry (only).

 

  3. Remove and update, as needed, the existing toilet paper holders, paper towel holders and mirrors using Landlord’s building standard items.

 

  4. Remove existing lighting and install Landlord’s building standard lighting.

 

  5. Repair or replace, as necessary, restroom exhaust fans with Landlord’s building standard.

2. All the Tenant Improvements described above, if any, shall be performed by Landlord at its cost and expense using Building standard materials and finishes and in the Building standard manner. All other work and upgrades, subject to Landlord’s approval, shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, payable upon demand as additional rent. Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements resulting from any such other work and upgrades requested or performed by Tenant. Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Tenant Improvements with a general contractor selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the Tenant Improvements.

3. Tenant acknowledges that the Tenant Improvements may be performed by Landlord in the Premises during normal business hours for the Building subsequent to the Renewal Date. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order to enable the Tenant Improvements to be performed in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience to the operation of Tenant’s business as is reasonably possible which may include after hours work on behalf of Landlord. Reimbursement or payment to any employees that Tenant requires to be at the Premises as a result of such after hours work shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the performance of the Tenant Improvements shall not delay the Renewal Date nor shall it subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of rent or other sums payable under the Lease.

4. Without limiting the “as-is” provisions of the Lease, Tenant accepts the Premises in its “as-is” condition and acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation to make any changes or improvements to the Premises or to pay any costs expended or to be expended in connection with any such changes or improvements, other than the Tenant Improvements specified in Section 1 of this Exhibit B-1. Landlord’s supervision or performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be a representation by Landlord that such work complies with applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or regulations or that the improvements constructed will be adequate for Tenant’s use.

5. This Exhibit B-1 shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease. Tenant shall not perform any work in the Premises (including, without limitation, cabling, wiring, fixturization, painting, carpeting, replacements or repairs) except in accordance with the Lease.
