PARAGRAPH 49. OPTION TO PURCHASE. The following section is hereby added as Paragraph 48 of the Lease: Tenant shall have a one-time option to purchase the Premises, including all right, title and interest of Landlord in the Underlying Real Property (collectively "Property"), free and clear of any monetary liens or encumbrances except (i) any liens for then current property taxes or supplemental taxes or (ii) any liens or other items caused to be of record by Tenant anytime during the Term upon not less than nine (9) months prior written notice to Landlord ("Option to Purchase"). The terms of the Option to Purchase shall be as follows: The purchase price shall be calculated by taking the "Blended Annual Income" over the term of the Lease and dividing it by a capitalization rate of 8.375%. The Blended Annual Income shall be defined as the annual effective Base Monthly Rent, or equivalent rent, due to Landlord from all Leases in the building from the Commencement Date until the Expiration Date of this Lease. The annual effective Base Monthly Rent, or equivalent rent, shall be calculated in all instances on a net basis, consistent with the terms of this Lease. In the event there is a vacancy at the time Tenant exercises the Option to Purchase or there will be a vacancy anytime during the Term of this Lease, then the Tenant's effective Base Monthly Rent per square foot over the entire Term of the Lease shall be used to determine the income from the vacant space for the period of vacancy. In the event there is a lease of the Expansion Space, or a portion thereof, which terminates prior to the expiration of this Lease, then for purposes of calculating the purchase price, the Tenant's effective Base Monthly Rent per square foot shall be used to determine the income from such space for that period during which such space will be vacant. In addition, if the vacancy is an unimproved space (shell condition), then the aggregate of (i) a $20.00 per square foot tenant improvement allowance and (ii) all market leasing commissions which would be necessary in an arm's length transaction, to lease such vacant space shall be deducted from the purchase price. Notwithstanding Tenant's Option to Purchase, Landlord shall have the right to market the Property for sale at any time during the Term of this Lease provided, however, Tenant shall have a right of first offer as follows: If Landlord elects to market the property, Landlord shall notify Tenant 7 8 in writing, and Tenant shall have forty-five (45) days in which to notify Landlord in writing of its decision to exercise the Option to Purchase in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined above. If Tenant fails to exercise its Option to Purchase, then Tenant shall not have the right to exercise its Option to Purchase for a period of one (1) year beginning on the date Landlord notifies Tenant of its intention to market the Property. If the property is sold to an independent third party during such one (1) year period, then Tenant's Option to Purchase shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. If Landlord fails to sell the Property during such one (1) year period, Tenant shall thereafter have the right to exercise its Option to Purchase subject to the same condition concerning Landlord's right to market contained herein. Upon exercise of Tenant's Option to Purchase, Landlord and Tenant, for a period of at least thirty (30) days, agree to negotiate in good faith a purchase agreement for Tenant's acquisition of the Property from Landlord. If Landlord and Tenant, after good faith efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable purchase agreement, are unable to execute a mutually acceptable purchase agreement for Tenant's acquisition of the Underlying Real Property and the Premises within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant s notice to exercise the Option to Purchase, Tenant's Option to Purchase shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. At the request of Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a memorandum of the Option to Purchase described herein in recordable form. It specifically is the intent of the parties that upon expiration or termination of the Option to Purchase without the Option to Purchase having been effectively exercised, or termination of the Option to Purchase pursuant to this Lease or by mutual agreement, Tenant shall have no further right to purchase the Property and no other interest in the Property except as set forth in the Lease. If there should at any time arise the need for a quitclaim deed or any other further instrument to fully carry out this intent, Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall, within five (5) days of any request therefor, duly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord such quitclaim deed or other further instrument or instruments. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Lease. 32. PARAGRAPH 51. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION. The following is hereby added as Paragraph 51. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION to the Lease: There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons, on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry, in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Premises, nor shall the Tenant, or any person claiming under or through the Tenant, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, sublessees, subtenants, or vendees in the Premises. 33. COUNTERPARTS. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. 34. AUTHORITY. This First Amendment has been duly authorized and executed on behalf of Tenant and Landlord and is valid, binding and enforceable on both parties in accordance with its terms. 35. ORIGINAL LEASE. Except as amended hereby, the terms and conditions of the Original Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 8 9 LANDLORD: RIGGS NATIONAL BANK OF WASHINGTON, D.C.
