Seller shall retain the right to any tax refunds for taxes paid for any period prior to Closing. Seller shall be responsible for any installments of special assessments not yet due and payable as of Closing, and Buyer shall be responsible for any such installments due and payable thereafter.
8.2 In addition to the foregoing specific apportionments, Seller shall receive all other income accrued to the date of Closing and shall pay all other expenses accrued or incurred in the operation of the Property to the date of Closing, and Buyer shall receive all other income accruing on or after the date of Closing and shall pay all other expenses incurred or accrued in the operation of the Property on or after the date of Closing. Any item of income or expense which should be apportioned and which is not or cannot be apportioned at Closing shall be duly apportioned as soon as determined, but in all events no later than twelve (12) months after Closing. It is expressly agreed that any compensation, award, damages, or settlement now or hereafter derived from the Pending Action shall be the sole property of Seller, and that Seller shall retain the sole right to prosecute the Pending Action, and Buyer agrees to execute any documentation reasonably requested by Seller to evidence same, which obligation shall survive Closing.

8.3 Seller shall pay one-half (1/2) of the Grantor’s Tax and the Deed Recordation Tax applicable to the sale of the Property, the cost of preparing the deeds, recording releases of any Liens, and any other costs customarily paid by sellers in the Loudoun area. Buyer shall pay one-half (1/2) of the Grantor’s Tax and the Deed Recordation Tax, title search charges and insurance premiums including all title endorsements, and survey charges. Escrow and any other closing charges, if any, shall be apportioned equally between the parties. Each party shall pay its own attorneys fees and costs.
9. Default; Remedies: Limitation of Liability. Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that the amount of Seller’s damages in the event of a default of this Contract by Buyer at or before the Closing would be difficult or impossible to determine and the Xxxxxxx Money is the parties’ best and most accurate estimate of the damages Seller would suffer in the event the transaction provided for in this Contract fails to close by virtue of Buyer’s default. Buyer and Seller agree that Seller’s right to the Xxxxxxx Money shall be the sole remedy of Seller in the event of Buyer’s breach or in the event this transaction fails to close because of a default of this Contract by Buyer. In the event that Seller breaches its duties, representations, warranties or covenants under this Contract or defaults hereunder at or prior to Closing, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies shall be to elect to: (1) terminate this Contract and recover all Xxxxxxx Money and interest accrued thereon from the Escrowee, and, in the event that Seller’s default consists of a wrongful act or omission and has the effect of diminishing the value of the Property to Purchaser, receive the prompt payment from Seller for the full amount of Buyer’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in its efforts to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Contract, including without limitation, its attorneys fees and the fees and charges incurred to perform its due diligence inspections of the Property (but in no event more
-23-
than $100,000.00); (2) waive said breach and close the purchase contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such breach; or (3) seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Contract.
10. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, agreements and obligations of each party made at or before Closing shall survive Closing and the delivery of the documents to be delivered at Closing, provided that each party must notify the other party, if at all, no later than one (1) year after the date of Closing with respect to any claim hereunder.
11. Binding Effect. The terms and conditions herein shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; except that Buyer may not assign its interest in this Contract except to an affiliate of Buyer or an entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by Buyer or any of its owners, without Seller’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
12. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Contract. If the day for performance of any action described in this Contract shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the banks are closed, the time for such action shall be extended to the first business day after such Saturday, Sunday or day in which the banks are closed.

16. Tax-free Exchange.
Either party, at the reasonable request of the other, agrees to cooperate so that the sale and/or purchase of the Property is a tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to implement such exchange, either party may, upon written notice, assign its rights, but not its obligations, under this Contract to a third party designated by it to act as a qualified intermediary (as such phrase is defined in applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations). In no event, however, shall the other party incur any additional expense or liability as a result of such exchange or as a result of such cooperation. The Closing shall not be delayed because of any delay in the closing of the Exchange Property.
17. Confidentiality. Buyer agrees to use its reasonable efforts so that the information received from Seller pursuant to Section 2.2(b) shall not be disclosed by Buyer to any third parties, except for consultants, existing mortgagees, employees and agents of the parties, inspectors, advisors, consultants, and attorneys or as required by law. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination of the Contract with respect only to the specific terms and conditions hereof and to such non-public information received from Seller.
18. Possession. Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to Buyer at Closing.
19. Risk of Loss. Except as hereinafter provided, risk of all loss, destruction, or damage to the Property, or any portion thereof, from any and all causes whatsoever until consummation of the Closing shall be borne by Seller. In the event that any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, or all or any portion of the Property is condemned
-26-
or taken by eminent domain by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or preliminary steps in such condemnation for eminent domain proceedings shall have been taken before the date of Closing, Seller shall give immediate notice thereof to Buyer. In the event of any such condemnation or threat thereof, or any such damage which is material, Buyer, at its option, may terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller prior to or at the Closing and receive the return of the Xxxxxxx Money. In the event that Buyer does not elect to terminate this Contract as aforesaid or in the event of non-material damage, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without abatement of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all of the rights and interests of Seller in and to any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which may be paid or payable to Seller on account of any such occurrence; provided, however, that Seller shall pay to Buyer in cash at Closing the amount of any deductible under any existing insurance policies applicable to such occurrence. For purpose of this paragraph, “material change” shall mean damage, the cost of which to repair is in excess of $250,000.00.

JOINDER OF GUARANTOR
The undersigned, NBS Loudoun Gateway V, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantor”), hereby represents and warrants to Xxxx Capital Corporation, a District of Columbia corporation, its successors and assigns (“Buyer”), as the Buyer under the attached Purchase Contract (the “Contract”) with NBS Loudoun Gateway IV, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), that Guarantor owns, or will own prior to the Closing under the Contract, the approximately 9.4 acre parcel of land, adjoining the Property immediately to the north (the “Loudoun Gateway V Parcel”). As of the date of the Contract and as of the date of Closing under the Contract, the Loudoun Gateway V Parcel shall be free and clear of any mortgage, deed of trust or other liens. Guarantor shall, however, have the right to allow for the recordation of a mortgage or deed of trust on the Loudoun Gateway V Parcel by an institutional lender, unaffiliated with Guarantor, for the construction of an office building upon the Loudoun Gateway V Parcel (a “Construction Loan”). Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably, and unconditionally guarantees, as a principal obligor and not as a surety, the payment of all losses, costs, expenses, liabilities and damages incurred by Buyer, from the date of Closing through the completion of the Warranty Survival Period, as a result of a breach by Seller of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty under Section 3 of the Contract (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This is an absolute, irrevocable, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, and not merely of collection. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of and in addition to the obligations of Seller under the Contract. Guarantor agrees that the obligations, covenants and agreements of Guarantor shall not be discharged, impaired or affected by any act of Buyer or any event or condition, including without limitation, any modification or amendment of the Contract or the waiver, compromise,
-29-
settlement or release of any of Buyer’s rights thereunder. If an attorney is retained to represent Buyer in any action or proceeding in connection with a default by Guarantor hereunder, then Guarantor shall pay Buyer upon demand all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, including without limitation, court costs, incurred in connection therewith. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall extend to and be binding upon and enforceable against Guarantor and its successors in ownership of the Loudoun Gateway V Parcel, and such obligations shall run with the land. On the Closing under the Contract, Guarantor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Buyer a memorandum of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, in form approved by Buyer (the “Memorandum”), for recordation upon the Loudoun Gateway V Parcel. The Memorandum shall, by its terms, be automatically subordinate to the lien of any Construction Loan, and shall contain reasonable provisions for the confirmation of such subordination by Buyer. The Memorandum shall provide that it automatically terminates upon the expiration of the Warranty Survival Period. Guarantor hereby represents to Buyer that Guarantor is an affiliate of Seller and has a direct or indirect financial interest in Seller, and it will be to the direct financial interest and benefit of Guarantor to assist Seller to sell the Property to Buyer. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that this Joinder by Guarantor is required by Buyer as a condition precedent and an inducement to Buyer to purchase the Property under the Contract.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has executed this Joinder of Guarantor on the date of the Contract.

RECITALS
A. Tenant is the tenant under a certain lease (the “Lease”) dated July 28, 2004 with National Build to Suit Loudoun Gateway IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), of premises described in the Lease (the “Premises”) located in a certain office building known as AOL Corporate Center located at 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (such office building, including the Premises, is hereinafter referred to as the “Property”).
B. This Agreement is being entered into in connection with a mortgage loan (the “Loan”) being made by Lender to Landlord, to be secured by, among other things: (a) a first mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt on and of the Property (the “Mortgage”) to be recorded with the registry or clerk of the county in which the Property is located; and (b) a first assignment of leases and rents on the Property (the “Assignment of Leases and Rents”) to be recorded. The Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Security Documents”.
C. Tenant acknowledges that Lender will rely on this Agreement in making the Loan to Landlord.
AGREEMENT
For mutual consideration, including the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Tenant agrees that the Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Security Documents and to all present or future advances under the obligations secured thereby and all renewals, amendments, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the secured obligations and the Security Documents, to the full extent of all amounts secured by the Security Documents from time to time. Said subordination is to have the same force and effect as if the Security Documents and such renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease, any amendments or modifications thereof and any notice thereof.
I-1
2. Lender agrees that, if the Lender exercises any of its rights under the Security Documents, including an entry by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage or a foreclosure of the Mortgage, Lender shall not disturb Tenant’s right of quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease.
3. Tenant agrees that, in the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgage by Lender or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by Lender or any other succession of Lender to fee ownership, Tenant will attorn to and recognize Lender as its landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term of the Lease (including all extension periods which have been or are hereafter exercised) upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Lease, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay and perform all of the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the Lease.
4. Tenant agrees that, in the event Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Lender shall not be:
(a) liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), or
(b) subject to any defense or offsets which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), or
(c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under the Lease to any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), or
(d) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time Lender succeeded to any prior Landlord’s interest, or
(e) accountable for any monies deposited with any prior Landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Lender, or
(f) bound by any surrender, termination, amendment or modification of the Lease made without the consent of Lender.
5. Tenant agrees that, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the terms of the Mortgage shall continue to govern with respect to the disposition of any insurance proceeds or eminent domain awards, and any obligations of Landlord to restore the real estate of which the Premises are a part shall, insofar as they apply to Lender, be limited to insurance proceeds or eminent domain awards received by Lender after the deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such proceeds or awards.
6. Tenant hereby agrees to give to Lender copies of all notices of Landlord default(s) under the Lease in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice of default to Landlord, and no such notice of default shall be deemed given to Landlord unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Lender. Lender shall have the right to
I-2
remedy any Landlord default under the Lease, or to cause any default of Landlord under the Lease to be remedied, and for such purpose Tenant hereby grants Lender such additional period of time as may be reasonable to enable Lender to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default in addition to the period given to Landlord for remedying, or causing to be remedied, any such default. Tenant shall accept performance by Lender of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. No Landlord default under the Lease shall exist or shall be deemed to exist (i) as long as Lender, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default within the above referenced time period and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, subject to force majeure, or (ii) if possession of the Premises is required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not susceptible of being cured by Lender, as long as Lender, in good faith, shall have notified Tenant that Lender intends to institute proceedings under the Security Documents, and, thereafter, as long as such proceedings shall have been instituted and shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence. In the event of the termination of the Lease by reason of any default thereunder by Landlord, upon Lender’s written request, given within thirty (30) days after any such termination, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, shall execute and deliver to Lender or its designee or nominee a new lease of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. Lender shall have the right, without Tenant’s consent, to foreclose the Mortgage or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or to exercise any other remedies under the Security Documents.
7. Tenant hereby consents to the Assignment of Leases and Rents from Landlord to Lender in connection with the Loan. Tenant acknowledges that the interest of the Landlord under the Lease is to be assigned to Lender solely as security for the purposes specified in said assignments, and Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of said assignments or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or unless Lender or its designee or nominee becomes, and then only with respect to periods in which Lender or its designee or nominee becomes, the fee owner of the Premises. Tenant agrees that upon receipt of a written notice from Lender of a default by Landlord under the Loan, Tenant will thereafter, if requested by Lender, pay rent to Lender in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
8. The Lease shall not be assigned by Tenant, modified, amended or terminated (except a termination that is permitted in the Lease without Landlord’s consent) without Lender’s prior written consent in each instance.
9. Any notice, election, communication, request or other document or demand required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered on the earlier to occur of (a) receipt or (b) the date of delivery, refusal or nondelivery indicated on the return receipt, if deposited in a United States Postal Service Depository, postage prepaid, sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or if sent via a recognized commercial courier service providing for a receipt, addressed to Tenant or Lender, as the case may be, at the following addresses:
