The warehouse space will be available August 1, 2007 and the office will be constructed by September 1, 2007.
USE CLAUSE: The Leased Premises shall be used only for warehousing and distribution of equipment to the U.S., state and local governments and government contractors and for no other purposes whatsoever, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant further acknowledges that its use of the Leased Premises is, and shall remain, subject to recorded easements and zoning restrictions in favor of the United States government or the United States Navy. Tenant shall, at all times, ensure that its use of the Leased Premises is conducted in compliance with the easements and restrictions a copy of which shall be supplied by Landlord to Tenant.
TERM: The term of this lease shall commence on August 1, 2007 (“Commencement Date”) and end on September 30, 2010. Except where the context clearly requires otherwise, the word “term”, whenever used in the Lease with reference to the duration hereof, shall be construed to include any renewal term as well as the original term. Landlord hereby grants Tenant one option to terminate this lease as of December 31, 2009 with nine (9) months prior notice and a payment of Seventeen Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($17,250.00). This lease shall renew on a month to month basis until cancelled by either party with a written 90 day notice. Rent during the month-to-month period continues at the rate in effect as of the last day of the month and continues to increase on an annual basis as described in paragraph 2. The “Termination Date” is to be “(i) the later of September 30, 2010 or the date that is 90 days after either party’s cancellation of this Lease after its renewal on a monthly basis or (ii) the date this Lease is sooner terminated by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.”
1.   BASE RENT: Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as rent for the Premises a monthly Base Rent as follows: Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($16,500.00) per month for the first year.

3.   PAST DUE RENT AND LATE CHARGES: Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon by Landlord by terms of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building, the Development, Park, or Office/Warehouse. In such event that Tenant shall fail to pay, when the same is due and payable, any Base Rent, Additional Rent charges or adjustments, and if said sums have not been received in Landlord’s Agent’s office within ten (10) days of their due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord’s Agent a “Late Charge” at the rate of 1.5% per month, until paid.

    Any payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated as a payment on account and may be applied to any amounts which are due as the Landlord may see fit. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.

Landlord shall estimate the amount of Additional Rent due hereunder and collect such reasonable amount from Tenant on a monthly basis. As of the Commencement Date hereof, monthly Additional Rent is estimated to be $1.15 psf per annum ($2,918.00) per month based on a leased Premises of 30,000 square feet.) Landlord shall have the right to make adjustments in the Additional Rent after the completion of each month, based on a six month rolling average, to account for any increase or adjustment directly related to the Leased Premises and invoice Tenant on a monthly basis for said adjustment. Said increase can be related to Tenant’s use of the premises or increases in utility or maintenance expenses and Landlord will provide documentation of necessity for any increases.
 
    If after any calendar year during the Lease Term, the actual yearly Additional Rent is less than the estimated amount actually billed to and paid for by Tenant, Landlord shall refund the amount of the over-payment to Tenant. If after any calendar year during the Lease Term, the actual yearly Additional Rent is greater than the estimated amount actually billed to and paid for by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord such additional amount. To document the actual yearly Additional Rents, Landlord shall provide to Tenant documentation in support of the expenses such as invoices, bills, statements, canceled checks and other related documentation.

In the event that the Landlord utilizes the Deposit, Tenant shall promptly restore same to Landlord upon Landlord’s demand therefor. No interest shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit, or that portion that remains, shall be returned to Tenant following the termination of this Lease, provided that Tenant has fully and faithfully carried out all its terms and covenants and paid up all its Base Rent, Additional Rent, adjustments and Late Charges.

Collection of Rent shall not be deemed a waiver of the covenants contained in this Article 7. The acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as Tenant does not constitute a release of the performance of the covenants required to be performed by Tenant. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord or its Agent for any attorney or other professional fees which might be incurred or connected with such transfer or assignment. Consent to one assignment does not waive the Landlord’s right to consent to future assignments.

Landlord or Landlord’s representative shall have the right but not the obligation to enter the Premises for the purpose of inspecting the storage, use and disposal of Permitted Materials to ensure compliance with all Environmental Laws. Should it be determined, in Landlord’s sole opinion, that said Permitted Materials are being improperly stored, used, or disposed of, then Tenant shall immediately take such corrective action as requested by Landlord. Should Tenant fail to take such corrective action within 24 hours, Landlord shall have the right to perform such work and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any and all costs associated with said work. If at any time during or after the term of the lease, the Premises is found to be so contaminated or subject to said conditions caused by Tenant’s use of the Premises, Tenant shall diligently institute proper and thorough cleanup procedures at Tenant’s sole cost, and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demand, actions, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and obligations of any nature arising from or as a result of the use of the Premises by Tenant. The foregoing indemnification and the responsibilities of Tenant shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.
 
20.   LANDLORD INSPECTION AND ACCESS: Landlord or its Agent, employees and/or contractors shall have the right to enter the Premises at any reasonable time during normal working hours to examine the same; to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders, or prospective tenants of the Premises; and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. If Tenant is not personally present to permit entry and an entry is necessary, Landlord or its Agent may, in the case of emergency, or if the Premises are unsecured and temporarily unoccupied, forcibly enter or secure the same, or take such other steps to address the emergency that Landlord deems appropriate, without rendering Landlord or Agent liable therefor. Otherwise, all such work and installation shall be done, so far as practical, so as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant also hereby grants unto Landlord and its Agent the right, within four (4) months prior to the termination of said Lease Term, to post and to remain thereon without hindrance or destruction, the usual notice of “For Rent” on the front glass, yard, or walls of said Premises. The exercise of any of these reserved rights by Landlord shall not be deemed as an eviction or disturbance of Tenants use, possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and shall never render Landlord liable in any manner to Tenant or any other person.
 
21.   WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each other for any loss of use, or damage to, either party’s property, to the extent that such loss or damage is insured by their insurance policy. The provisions of this clause shall not apply in those instances in which waiver of subrogation would cause either party’s insurance coverage to be voided or otherwise made uncollectible.
 
22.   INDEMNIFICATION: The Tenant will indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord against and from any and all claims arising from (i) the Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, (including, but not limited to, statutory liability and liability under workers’ compensation laws), (ii) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on the Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, (iii) any act of negligence of the Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee, guest, or invitee of the Tenant, (iv) all costs, attorney’s fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and, in any case, action or proceeding brought against the Landlord by reason of any such claim. The Tenant upon notice from the Landlord will defend the same at the Tenant’s expense by counsel approved in writing by the Landlord.
 
23.   INDEMNITY AGAINST LIENS: Tenant agrees that it will, at all times during the Term of this Lease, take any and all steps necessary to prevent the filing of mechanics liens against the Leased Premises, Tenant further agrees to indemnify and save the Landlord harmless from and against any and all liabilities incurred by Tenant or claimed or charged against the Leased Premises. Tenant shall promptly pay, or otherwise discharge, any and all such claims, expenses and liens, including the mechanic’s, materialmen’s and other laborer’s liens asserted or claimed against the Premises or any part thereof. In no event shall Landlord or any of the Landlord’s property be liable for or chargeable with any expense or lien for work, labor or materials used for and in the Premises; or for any improvements thereof or changes made upon the order of Tenant, or to discharge the obligations of the Tenant.
 
24.   FIRE AND/OR DESTRUCTION: If the Leased Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty during the Term hereof, Landlord agrees that it will restore the structural components and items, as defined in Article 18(a) hereof, with reasonable dispatch to substantially the same condition that they were in so far as the proceeds from Landlord’s insurance permit and, further provided that, Landlord’s mortgagee does not require insurance proceeds to be paid to it. Once Landlord restoration work is complete, and since time is of the essence, Tenant’s rent payment shall re-commence on the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Premises are ready for fixturing. The Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to repair or replace any and all of the Tenant’s fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements which were damaged or destroyed by the same insured cause. The rent payable hereunder shall be equitably and proportionately abated, according to loss of use to Tenant, during the period of time intervening between the date of such fire and/or destruction and the date that the Lease Premises are restored. However, if the damage is due to the fault or the negligence of the Tenant or its employees, there shall be no abatement of rent. If such destruction occurs during the term and exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the insurable value of the Leased Premises at the time such destruction occurs, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease as of the date of such destruction by giving Tenant written notice of its intention to do so within sixty (60) days after such date of destruction. If this Lease is so terminated, then the rent payable hereunder shall be abated as of the date of same destruction and Tenant shall remove all its property from the Leased Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice of termination. Unless Landlord gives such notice, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall repair such damage as its expense, as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances.
 
25.   FORCE MAJEURE: In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in, or prevented from, the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war or other reason of a like nature, not the fault of the party delayed in performing the work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then performance of such acts shall be excused for the period of the delay; and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of

6


 

    such delay; provided, however, that the provisions of this Lease Article shall not operate to release Tenant from Lease nor to excuse Tenant, nor shall Tenant in any event be excused from prompt payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges due Landlord by Tenant.
 
26.   EMINENT DOMAIN: If all the Premises are condemned or taken by the power of eminent domain exercised by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, this Lease shall terminate as of the date that the Tenant is required to vacate the Premises and all Base and Additional Rent shall be paid up to and until same date of termination. If only part of the Leased Premises shall be taken and the size of the Premises are proportionately reduced, then the Tenant is entitled to an equal and proportionate reduction in Base Rent and Additional Rent. Further, Landlord shall, as expeditiously as possible, repair the remaining portion of Leased Premises to the extent necessary to render the same suitable for which the Premises were leased. Tenant hereby waives any right that it may have to any condemnation award or sum paid under threat of condemnation as a result of a complete or partial asking of the Leased Premises and/or any portion of the Building, or its Common Areas. If there is only a partial taking of the Building and/or its Common Areas, this Lease shall not terminate and this Lease shall remain in full force and in effect. After partial taking of the Building or its common areas, the Landlord, within a reasonable time thereafter, shall repair or reconstruct the remaining portion of the Building and/or its Common Areas to the extent necessary to make the same a complete architectural unit.
 
27.   TENANT DEFAULT: The occurrence of any one of the following events constitutes a default by the Tenant and a breach of this Lease and its covenants by the Tenant, if such default, breach or non-performance is continued and not cured within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord: (a) the vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, or the failure of the Tenant to be open for business and remain open for the conduct of business as described in the Use Clause found in the Lease; (b) the failure by Tenant to make any payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent, and Additional Rent Charges and adjustments on or before the due date thereof, (c) the failure by Tenant to perform any covenants herein or the breach by Tenant of any Lease covenants herein, other than those described in sections (a) and (b) of this Article 27, and the further failure by Tenant to cure such covenant, breach or non-performance, or to commence to cure and diligently pursue the cure of the covenant, breach or non-performance which cannot be fully remedied within ten (10) days; (d) the filing of a petition for Tenant’s bankruptcy, insolvency, or general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or receiver appointment for Tenant for the substantial part of its assets and properties and such receiver is not removed within five (5) days after its appointment. If the Tenant shall default as described in this Article 27, or in the performance of any covenant contained in this Lease, and if such default is repeated once within the next twelve months then, notwithstanding that such defaults shall have been cured within the period after notice as herein provided, any further similar default within such twelve month period shall be deemed a Tenant Default which cannot be cured, notwithstanding provisions for cure provided in this Lease. Upon such default, the Landlord may proceed, with five days notice but no opportunity for cure, to exercise its remedies upon default.
 
28.   LANDLORD REMEDIES: In the event of Tenant Default, including Tenant’s abandonment or vacating the Premises, Landlord shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by the law, either to terminate this Lease, and/or to re-enter and take possession of the Premises, peaceably or by force, and/or to change the locks thereto and to remove any property and merchandise therein, without liability to Tenant for damage arising therefrom and without obligation, to Tenant to store any merchandise and property. Further, Landlord is under no obligation to Tenant, after default or abandonment, to relet the Premises in the name of Tenant or for the benefit of the Landlord. Landlord may, at its option and without subsequent notice to Tenant, relet the Premises for such term and on such covenants and purposes as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine are in the best interest of the Landlord, including re-renting for free or abated rent. Landlord may collect and receive all rents derived therefrom and apply the same, after deduction of appropriate expenses, to the payment of the rent overdue and payable hereunder from the Tenant in default. The Tenant in default shall remain liable for any deficiency. Further, Landlord shall not be responsible for or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part hereof, or for any failure to collect any rent connected therewith. The Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Premises by any means shall not relieve the Tenant of its obligation to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or Additional Rent Adjustments through the term of the Lease, including any extensions in effect at the time of default under which Tenant then occupies the Premises.
 
    Acceptance by Landlord of delinquent rent from Tenant after Tenant default shall not cure such default or entitle Tenant to possession of the Premises. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all right of redemption, if any, granted by and under any present or future law, in the event that Tenant shall be evicted or dispossessed for any cause in default or in the event that the Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by virtue of the remedies outlined in this Lease, or otherwise. The receipt by Landlord or its Agent of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any covenant hereof shall be deemed to have been agreed upon, unless explicitly reduced to written agreement and signed by Landlord and Tenant.
 
    In addition, Landlord may, at its option, accelerate and cause to be immediately due and payable all Rent thereafter due until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession. Accelerated Rent shall be due and payable hereunder whether or not the Leased Premises or any part thereof shall have been relet by Landlord, but shall exclude the net proceeds, if any, of reletting affected for the account of Tenant, after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord’s expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such reletting including, without limitation, all reasonable repossession costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, alterations costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting.
 
    All remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative.
 
29.   ATTORNEY FEES: Tenant hereby agrees to pay all costs incurred by the Landlord on account of the Tenant’s default, including but not limited to collection costs, court costs and reasonable attorney fees in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of any money owed at the time and accruing after Landlord requests the assistance of an attorney. If Tenant’s default is a non-monetary default, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s actual attorney’s fees or $250.00, whichever is greater, notwithstanding any cure of said default.

30.   HOLDOVER AND SUCCESSIVE TENANT: Tenant acknowledges that possession of the Leased Premises must be surrendered to Landlord on the Termination Date or sooner. If written notice to terminate is given, Tenant agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from any and all costs, claims, loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by a succeeding Tenant found on such delay. The parties hereto recognize and agree that the damage to the Landlord resulting from any failure to timely surrender possession will be extremely substantial, will exceed the Base Rent, Additional Rent charges payable hereunder, and will be impossible to measure accurately. Tenant therefore agrees that if possession of the Leased Premises is not surrendered to Landlord within twenty-four (24) hours after the Termination Date or sooner, then the Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month and for any portion of a month during which the Tenant holds over in the Leased Premises a sum equal to one and one half (1.5) times the aggregate of Base Rent plus Additional Rent charges which are payable under this Lease during the last month of the term hereof in addition to the Landlord’s actual damage incurred by Tenant’s failure to surrender which exceeds such rent. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Leased Premises after the termination of the Lease Term, unless specifically agreed to in writing. The provisions of the Article shall survive the expiration or said sooner termination of Lease Term.
31.   TERMINATION AND SURRENDER: Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in as good as condition as they were found upon the Tenant taking possession of the Premises; except for ordinary wear and tear, reduction of the Premises by condemnation or damage by fire, destruction or other casualties or causes beyond Tenant’s control. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its Agent all keys to the Premises and remove all its personal property, merchandise and trade fixtures and make such necessary repairs or reimbursement, pursuant to Articles 17, and Articles 19(b) found in this Lease. After Tenant vacating or Tenant abandonment, Landlord may elect to retain or dispose of, in any manner, Tenant alterations and improvements or Tenant’s personal property that Tenant does not remove from the Leased Premises before or after the Termination Date of the Term. Title to any such Tenant alterations or Tenant’s personal property that Landlord elects to retain or dispose of after the Term, shall vest to and in the Landlord. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord’s retention or disposition of any such alterations or personal property. Tenant is further liable to Landlord for Landlord’s expenses and costs for removing and disposing of any Tenant alterations or Tenant personal property which Landlord does not elect to acquire. Tenant’s obligation to Landlord existing at the time of termination, whether unmatured, unliquidated or contingent, will survive termination or expiration of this Lease.
32.   TENANT WAIVERS: The failure of Landlord to insist, in any one or more instances, to strict performance by Tenant as to any Lease covenants shall not be construed as a waiver by Landlord or relinquishment, in the future, of such covenants, but the same shall continue and remain in full force in effect. The receipt by Landlord or its Agent of rent with knowledge of a covenant breach hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of the same covenant breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been agreed upon unless expressed in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
    Tenant hereby waives the benefit of the homestead exemption as to this Lease.
33.   EXCULPATION: The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means only the owner, for the time being or at the time of Lease execution by Tenant, of the building in which the Premises are located or the owner of a Lease of both said building and the and thereunder. Tenant agrees that any money judgment resulting from a default or other claim against the Landlord under this Lease will be satisfied only out of the rents and profits received by Landlord from the operation of the Property and from Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Property, exclusive of existing liens upon the Property, and not from other real, personal or mixed property of Landlord. The respective partners of the Landlord, their heirs, its Agent, its personal representatives, successors and assignees shall not be liable personally. Further, the liability of the Landlord shall not extend beyond the period of time of Landlord’s ownership of the Premises.
34.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: All the terms, covenants and agreements of this Lease shall extend to and be binding upon the Landlord and be binding upon the Tenant and its respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors in interest or in title, assignees, subtenants, sublessees, concessionaires, marital communities, if any, and their respective assigns; and/or upon any person or persons coming into ownership or possession of any interest in the Premises by operation of law or otherwise. All the provisions, conditions and agreements of this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Landlord and Tenant.
35.   NOTICES: Any notice herein provided for to be given to Landlord shall be deemed to be given if and when posted in United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Landlord, 1355 London Bridge Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23453.

    If there is more than one Tenant, such as a Partnership, any notice required or permitted hereunder may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by and to all thereof. Either party may, at any time, change its address for the purposes of notice hereof by sending a written notice to the other party stating the change and setting forth the new address.
36.   CONSTRUCTION: The Lease shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Landlord, Tenant, and Agent all acknowledge the opportunity to review and approve the terms hereof before execution and to participate in its drafting.
