INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of the 17th day of April,
2009, by and between Walter Investment Management Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”),
and                                          (“Indemnitee”).

     WHEREAS, at the request of the Company, Indemnitee currently serves as an officer/board member
of the Company and may, therefore, be subjected to claims, suits or proceedings arising as a result
of his service; and

     WHEREAS, as an inducement to Indemnitee to continue to serve as such director, the Company has
agreed to indemnify and to advance expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
such claims, suits or proceedings, to the maximum extent permitted by law; and

     WHEREAS, the parties by this Agreement desire to set forth their agreement regarding
indemnification and advance of expenses;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the
Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

     Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

          (a) “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Company occurring after the Effective
Date of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of
Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not the
Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation,
such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if, after the Effective Date (i) any
“person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of all of the
Company’s then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors in
office immediately prior to such person’s attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the Company is a
party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other reorganization not
approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors then in office, as a
consequence of which members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such
transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board of Directors thereafter; or (iii)
at any time, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are not individuals (A) who were
directors as of the Effective Date or (B) whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination
for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors as of the Effective Date or whose
election for nomination for election was previously so approved.

 

 

          (b) “Corporate Status” means the status of a person as a present or former director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company or as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing
member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that
such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. As a clarification
and without limiting the circumstances in which Indemnitee may be serving at the request of the
Company, service by Indemnitee shall be deemed to be at the request of the Company if Indemnitee
serves or served as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary,
employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise (i) of which a majority of the voting power or equity
interest is owned directly or indirectly by the Company or (ii) the management of which is
controlled directly or indirectly by the Company.

          (c) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to
the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification and/or advance of Expenses is sought by
Indemnitee.

          (d) “Effective Date” means the date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.

          (e) “Expenses” means any and all reasonable and out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs,
retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses,
duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees,
federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed
receipt of any payments under this Agreement, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and any other
disbursements or expenses incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to
prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in or otherwise
participating in a Proceeding. Expenses shall also include Expenses incurred in connection with
any appeal resulting from any Proceeding including, without limitation, the premium, security for
and other costs relating to any cost bond supersedeas bond or other appeal bond or its equivalent.

          (f) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in
matters of corporation law and neither is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to
represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than
with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement or of other indemnitees under
similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to or participant or witness in the
Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who,
under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of
interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s
rights under this Agreement.

          (g) “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration,
alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other
proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil
(including intentional or unintentional tort claims), criminal, administrative or

-2-

 

investigative (formal or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, except one pending
or completed on or before the Effective Date, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by
the Company and Indemnitee. If Indemnitee reasonably believes that a given situation may lead to
or culminate in the institution of a Proceeding, such situation shall also be considered a
Proceeding.

     Section 2. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee will serve as a directors of the
Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any independent obligation on Indemnitee or the
Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company. This Agreement shall not be deemed an
employment contract between the Company (or any other entity) and Indemnitee.

     Section 3. General. The Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee
(a) as provided in this Agreement and (b) otherwise to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law
in effect on the Effective Date and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no change
in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder
based on Maryland law as in effect on the Effective Date. The rights of Indemnitee provided in
this Section 3 shall include, without limitation, the rights set forth in the other sections of
this Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by Section 2-418(g) of the
Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”).

     Section 4. Standard for Indemnification. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with any such Proceeding
unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter
giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active
and deliberate dishonesty, (b) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause
to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     Section 5. Certain Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement (other than Section 6), Indemnitee shall not be entitled to:

          (a) indemnification hereunder if the Proceeding was one by or in the right of the Company and
Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to the Company;

          (b) indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable on the basis that
personal benefit was improperly received in any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to
Indemnitee, whether or not involving action in the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status; or

          (c) indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder if the Proceeding was brought by
Indemnitee unless: (i) the Proceeding was brought to enforce indemnification under this Agreement,
and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Section 12 of this Agreement,
or (ii) the Company’s charter or Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors or an agreement

-3-

 

approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide
otherwise.

     Section 6. Court-Ordered Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of Indemnitee and such notice as
the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following circumstances:

          (a) if it determines Indemnitee is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the
MGCL, the court shall order indemnification, in which case Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover
the Expenses of securing such reimbursement; or

          (b) if it determines that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in
view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not Indemnitee (i) has met the standards of
conduct set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged liable for receipt of
an improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, the court may order such
indemnification as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any
Proceeding by or in the right of the Company or in which liability shall have been adjudged in the
circumstances described in Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL shall be limited to Expenses.

     Section 7. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision, to
the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of his Corporate Status, made a party to (or
otherwise becomes a participant in) any Proceeding and is successful, on the merits or otherwise,
in the defense of such Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified for all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly
successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but
less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
under this Section 7 for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with each such claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate
basis. For purposes of this Section 7 and, without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue
or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a
successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

     Section 8. Advance of Expenses for a Party. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall,
without requiring a preliminary determination of Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to
indemnification hereunder, advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee
in connection with such Proceeding within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement
or statements requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after
final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the
Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written
affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary
for indemnification by the Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and a
written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time
of the execution thereof, to reimburse the portion of any

-4-

 

Expenses advanced to Indemnitee relating to claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to
which it shall ultimately be established that the standard of conduct has not been met by
Indemnitee and which have not been successfully resolved as described in Section 7 of this
Agreement. To the extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim,
issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and
proportionate basis. The undertaking required by this Section 8 shall be an unlimited general
obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s
financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security
therefor.

     Section 9. Indemnification and Advance of Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is or may be, by reason of his
Corporate Status, made a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding, whether
instituted by the Company or any other party, and to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be
advanced all reasonable Expenses and indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith within ten days after the receipt by the
Company of a statement or statements requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether
prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall
reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee.

     Section 10. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

          (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a
written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably
available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Indemnitee may submit one or more such requests from
time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his sole discretion. The
officer of the Company receiving any such request from Indemnitee shall, promptly upon receipt of
such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has
requested indemnification.

          (b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) above, a
determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto
shall promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by
Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be
delivered to Indemnitee, which Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee and approved
by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL, which approval
will not be unreasonably withheld; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by
the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors or, if
such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a duly authorized committee of the
Board of Directors consisting solely of one or more Disinterested Directors, (B) if Independent
Counsel has been selected by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of
the MGCL and approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, by
Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be
delivered to Indemnitee or (C) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled
to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be

-5-

 

made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person,
persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance
request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from
disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such
determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or Independent Counsel if retained
pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of this Section 10(b). Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so
cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the
Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and
the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

          (c) The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel, if one is
appointed.

     Section 11. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

          (a) In making any determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in
accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to
overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that
presumption.

          (b) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment,
order, settlement or conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or entry of an
order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet
the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.

          (c) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company or any other director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member,
fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not be
imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any other right to indemnification under this
Agreement.

     Section 12. Remedies of Indemnitee.

          (a) If (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advance of Expenses is not timely
made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to
indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement within 60 days
after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is
not made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement within ten days after receipt by the Company of a
written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to any other section of this
Agreement or the charter or Bylaws of the Company is not made within ten days after a determination
has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an
adjudication in an appropriate court located in the State of

-6-

 

Maryland, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such
indemnification or advance of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an
award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence a proceeding seeking an
adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee
first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however,
that the foregoing clause shall not apply to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his
rights under Section 7 of this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Maryland
law (without regard to its conflicts of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The
Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

          (b) In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12,
Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case
may be, under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be. If Indemnitee
commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall not be
required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement until a
final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to
which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed). The Company shall, to the fullest
extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration
commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are
not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such
arbitrator that the Company is bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent a misstatement by
Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification.

          (d) In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 12, seeks a judicial adjudication
of or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of,
this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified
by the Company for, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial
adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or
arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or
advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial
adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated.

          (e) Interest shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at the maximum rate allowed to be
charged for judgments under the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article of the Annotated Code of
Maryland for amounts which the Company pays or is obligated to pay hereunder for the period
commencing with the date on which Indemnitee requests

-7-

 

indemnification, reimbursement or advance of any Expenses and ending on the date such payment
is made to Indemnitee by the Company.

     Section 13. Defense of the Underlying Proceeding.

          (a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon being served with any
summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, request or other document relating to any
Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder
and shall include with such notice a description of the nature of the Proceeding and a summary of
the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify
Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to
indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to
defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and
adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so
prejudiced.

          (b) Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 13(b) and of Section 13(c)
below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise
to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any
such decision to defend within 15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding
under Section 13(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against
Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of
Indemnitee, (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee
from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee or (iii) would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or
limitation on Indemnitee. This Section 13(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee
under Section 12 of this Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which
Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably
concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, that he may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect
to any issue which may not be consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee
reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or potential
conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to
assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be
represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the
Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company. In addition, if
the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that
the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable,
or institutes any Proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be
provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s
choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at
the

-8-

 

expense of the Company (subject to Section 12(d) of this Agreement), to represent Indemnitee
in connection with any such matter.

     Section 14. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Subrogation.

          (a) The rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under
applicable law, the charter or Bylaws of the Company, any agreement or a resolution of the
stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors,
or otherwise. Unless consented to in writing by Indemnitee, no amendment, alteration or repeal of
this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under
this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status
prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, regardless of whether a claim with respect to such
action or inaction is raised prior or subsequent to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No right
or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
other right or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prohibit the concurrent assertion or employment
of any other right or remedy.

          (b) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the
extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers
required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents
as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

     Section 15. Insurance. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to acquire
directors and officers liability insurance, on terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the Board
of Directors, with the advice of counsel, covering Indemnitee or any claim made against Indemnitee
by reason of his Corporate Status and covering the Company for any indemnification or advance of
Expenses made by the Company to Indemnitee for any claims made against Indemnitee by reason of his
Corporate Status. Without in any way limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, the
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for any payment by Indemnitee arising out of the amount of any
deductible or retention and the amount of any excess of the aggregate of all judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding over the
coverage of any insurance referred to in the previous sentence. The purchase, establishment and
maintenance of any such insurance shall not in any way limit or affect the rights or obligations of
the Company or Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Indemnitee shall not in any way
limit or affect the rights or obligations of the Company under any such insurance policies. If, at
the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party
or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) the Company has director and officer liability
insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.

-9-

 

     Section 16. Coordination of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable or reimbursable as
Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such
payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

     Section 17. Reports to Stockholders. To the extent required by the MGCL, the Company
shall report in writing to its stockholders the payment of any amounts for indemnification of, or
advance of Expenses to, Indemnitee under this Agreement arising out of a Proceeding by or in the
right of the Company with the notice of the meeting of stockholders of the Company next following
the date of the payment of any such indemnification or advance of Expenses or prior to such
meeting.

     Section 18. Duration of Agreement; Binding Effect.

          (a) This Agreement shall continue until and terminate on the later of (i) the date that
Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of
any other foreign or domestic corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited
liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person
is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company and (ii) the date that Indemnitee
is no longer subject to any actual or possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto
and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement).

          (b) The indemnification and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company),
shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee
or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving
in such capacity at the request of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and
his spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

          (c) The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the
business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

          (d) The Company and Indemnitee agree herein that a monetary remedy for breach of this
Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further
agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto
agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief

and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or
irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee
shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled.
Indemnitee shall further be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including
temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the
necessity of posting bonds or other undertakings in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges
that, in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court,
and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking.

     Section 19. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent
necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties
hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing
any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

     Section 20. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. One such counterpart signed by the party
against whom enforceability is sought shall be sufficient to evidence the existence of this
Agreement.

     Section 21. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the
construction thereof.

     Section 22. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

     Section 23. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand

of Proceeding] (the “Proceeding”).

     Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings specified in the
Indemnification Agreement.

     I am subject to the Proceeding by reason of my Corporate Status or by reason of alleged
actions or omissions by me in such capacity. I hereby affirm my good belief that at all times,
insofar as I was involved as [a director] [an officer] of the Company, in any of the facts or
events giving rise to the Proceeding, I (1) did not act with bad faith or active or deliberate
dishonesty, (2) did not receive any improper personal benefit in money, property or services and

omission by me was unlawful.

     In consideration of the advance of Expenses by the Company for reasonable attorneys’ fees and
related Expenses incurred by me in connection with the Proceeding (the “Advanced Expenses”), I
hereby agree that if, in connection with the Proceeding, it is established that (1) an act or
omission by me was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (a) was committed in
bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or (2) I actually received an
improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (3) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, I had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful, then I shall
promptly reimburse the portion of the Advanced Expenses relating to the claims, issues or matters
in the Proceeding as to which the foregoing findings have been established.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Affirmation and Undertaking on this       day of
                                        , 20          .exv10w24

     2. PRIME LEASE. Sublandlord is the tenant under the Prime Lease identified in Section 1(F).
Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge that Sublandlord has delivered to Subtenant a copy of the
Prime Lease between Prime Landlord and Sublandlord.

     3. SUBLEASE. Sublandlord, for and in consideration of the rents herein reserved and of the
covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of Subtenant to be performed, hereby
subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant accepts from Sublandlord, certain Premises described in
Section 1(B) and located in the Building.

     4. SUBLEASE TERM. The Sublease Term will commence on the Commencement Date specified in
Section 1(H) and expire on the Expiration Date specified
in Section 1(I), unless sooner terminated
as otherwise provided elsewhere in the Sublease.

     5. POSSESSION. Sublandlord agrees to deliver possession of the Premises on or before the
Commencement Date in “AS-IS” condition as of the execution and delivery of this Sublease by
Sublandlord, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Subtenant has fully inspected the Premises and
accepts them in their “AS-IS” condition. Sublandlord makes no representations, express or implied,
as to the condition of the Premises or their suitability for Subtenant’s use, and Subtenant
acknowledges that Sublandlord will have no obligation to make any improvements or repairs to the
Premises. Sublandlord will cooperate with Subtenant in requesting Prime Landlord’s consent for
Subtenant’s pro rata share of Building directory signage and signage at the entrance to the
Premises for Subtenant.

     Sublandlord agrees to provide, and Subtenant agrees to purchase, certain furniture located in
the Premises, a full inventory of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, in its “as is,
where is” condition, without any representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind
whatsoever, for One Hundred Fifty Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Two Dollars and NO/100 Cents
($150,762.00), together with any applicable Florida sales and use tax (the “Furniture Payment”).
No later than delivery of possession of the Premises to Subtenant, Subtenant will deliver $136,000
of the Furniture Payment to Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 34 below and the balance of
the Furniture Payment to Sublandlord.

     6. TENANT’S USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the Subtenant’s Use set
forth in Section 1(M).

     7. RENT. Beginning on the Commencement Date, Subtenant agrees to pay the Base Rent to the
Payee of Rent at the Payment Address, or to another payee or at another address designated by
notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant, without prior demand and without any deduction. Base Rent is
to be paid in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each month of the Sublease
Term. Base Rent will be
pro-rated for partial months at the beginning and end of the Sublease
Term. All charges, costs and sums required to be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this
Sublease in addition to Base Rent are to be deemed “Additional Rent”, and Base Rent and Additional
Rent are collectively referred to as “Rent”. Subtenant’s covenant to pay Rent is independent of
every other covenant in this Sublease. If Rent is not paid when due,

3

 

Subtenant must pay, relative to the delinquent payment, an amount equal to the sum which would be
payable by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord for late payment under the Prime Lease.

     8. ADDITIONAL RENT.

	 	A.	 	If and to the extent that Sublandlord is obligated to pay
additional rent under the Prime Lease as a result of any act or omission of
Subtenant (but excluding Operating Expenses, Utility Expenses and Taxes as
defined in the Prime Lease) Subtenant must pay to Sublandlord such additional
rent within five (5) days after demand.
	 
	 	B.	 	Subtenant must pay with each installment of Rent hereunder, any
and all sales, use or rental tax imposed upon such Rent.

     9. TENANT’S OBLIGATIONS. Subtenant will be responsible for, and will pay the following:

	 	A.	 	All utility consumption costs directly contracted for by
Subtenant, including without limitation, the cost of any telephone services and
equipment as may be required by Subtenant in its use of the Premises. Subtenant
shall hold Sublandlord harmless from all costs or expenses Sublandlord may
incur from Subtenant’s failure to pay such utility bills or to perform any of
its obligations with respect to the purchase of utilities.
	 
	 	B.	 	All costs charged by Prime Landlord in connection with
providing the Premises: (i) HVAC services outside of Normal Business Hours, and
(b) any excess utility consumption under Article 5 of the Prime Lease.
	 
	 	C.	 	All maintenance, repairs and replacements to the Premises and
its equipment necessary to maintain same in first class condition and in
compliance with the requirements imposed under the Prime Lease, including
performing all obligations relating to maintenance, repair and replacement
imposed upon Sublandlord under the Prime Lease (including without limitations,
those resulting from any obligation of Sublandlord to comply with laws,
ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities and
insurance bodies applicable to the Premises).

     10. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Sublandlord represents that it has full power and authority to enter into
this Sublease, subject to the consent of the Prime Landlord, if required under the Prime Lease. So
long as no Event of Default (defined in Section 23) has occurred, Subtenant’s quiet and peaceable
enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Sublandlord, or by any
person claiming by, through, or under Sublandlord.

     11. TENANT’S INSURANCE. Subtenant must procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, all
such insurance as is required to be carried by the tenant under the Prime Lease,

4

 

naming Sublandlord, as well as Prime Landlord, in the manner required therein and such property
insurance as is required to be carried by the tenant under the Prime Lease to the extent such
property insurance pertains to the Premises. If the Prime Lease requires Sublandlord to insure
leasehold improvements or alterations, then Subtenant shall insure the leasehold improvements and
alterations made by Subtenant in the Premises and Sublandlord shall insure the balance of the
leasehold improvements and alterations. Subtenant must furnish to Sublandlord a certificate of
Subtenant’s insurance required hereunder not later than ten (10) days prior to Subtenant’s taking
possession of the Premises. Each party hereby waives claims against the other for property damage
provided such waiver shall not invalidate the waiving party’s property insurance; each party will
attempt to obtain from its insurance carrier a waiver of its right of subrogation. Subtenant hereby
fully waives any present or future claims against Sublandlord for property damage to the Premises
or its contents. Subtenant hereby waives claims against Prime Landlord for property damage to the
Premises or its contents if and to the extent that Sublandlord waives such claims against Prime
Landlord under the Prime Lease. Subtenant agrees to obtain, for the benefit of Prime Landlord and
Sublandlord, such waivers of subrogation rights from its insurer as are required of Sublandlord
under the Prime Lease.

     12. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING.

	 	A.	 	Subtenant may not, without Sublandlord’s prior written consent,
(i) assign, convey or mortgage this Sublease or any interest under it; (ii)
allow any transfer thereof or any lien upon Subtenant’s interest by operation
of law; (iii) further sublet the Premises or any part thereof; or (iv) permit
the occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by anyone other than
Subtenant or its subsidiaries or affiliates (any of the foregoing herein
defined as a “Transfer”). Sublandlord’s consent to an assignment of this
Sublease or a further sublease of the Premises may not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Sublandlord consents to a proposed
Transfer, Sublandlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of
Prime Landlord. Any cost of obtaining Prime Landlord’s consent will be borne
by Subtenant. Further, Subtenant will reimburse Sublandlord for any reasonable
costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Sublandlord in connection with
any Transfer.
	 
	 	B.	 	Subtenant has the right to assign this Sublease or further
sublet all or any part of the Premises to a Related Entity without
Sublandlord’s approval, but subject to Prime Landlord’s consent if such consent
is required under the Prime Lease. A “Related Entity” means a parent,
subsidiary, affiliate, or successor (by merger, consolidation, transfer of
assets, assumption or otherwise) of Subtenant.
	 
	 	C.	 	Subtenant acknowledges that the Prime Landlord has recapture
rights pursuant to Section 23(a) of the Prime Lease upon a request for Prime
Landlord’s consent to an assignment, sublease or other transfer. Any
requested Transfer by Subtenant may be subject to such recapture rights.

5

 

	 	D.	 	No permitted Transfer will be effective unless and until any default by
Subtenant hereunder shall have been cured. No permitted Transfer will
relieve Subtenant from Subtenant’s obligations and agreements hereunder and
Subtenant will continue to be liable as a principal and not as a guarantor
or surety to the same extent as though no Transfer had been made.

     13. RULES. Subtenant agrees to comply with all rules and regulations that Prime Landlord has
made or may hereafter from time to time make for the Building. Sublandlord will not be liable in
any way for damage caused by the non-observance by any of the other tenants of such similar
covenants in their leases or of such rules and regulations.

     14. REPAIRS AND COMPLIANCE. Subtenant must promptly pay for the repairs provided for in
Section 9(C) and Subtenant must, at its expense, comply with all laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, requirements and orders of all governmental authorities, including without limitation
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and all regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (the
“ADA”), and of all insurance bodies and their fire prevention engineers at any time in force during
the Sublease Term which are applicable to the Premises (“Legal Requirements”).

     15. RENT ABATEMENT. If Sublandlord is entitled, under the Prime Lease, to a rent abatement
as a result of a fire or other casualty or as a result of a taking under the power of eminent
domain, then Subtenant will be entitled to a rent abatement calculated by multiplying the area of
the Premises made untenantable by the Rent per square foot payable from time to time during the
period of the abatement. If the Prime Lease imposes on Sublandlord the obligation to repair or
restore leasehold improvements or alterations, Subtenant will be responsible for repair or
restoration of leasehold improvements or alterations, subject to the terms of the Prime Lease.

     16. ALTERATIONS. Subtenant may not make any alterations in or additions to the Premises
(“Alterations”) if to do so would constitute a default under the Prime Lease. If Subtenant’s
proposed Alterations would not constitute a default under the Prime Lease, Sublandlord’s consent
thereto will nonetheless be required, but Sublandlord’s consent to such Alterations may not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and if Sublandlord consents thereto, Sublandlord
will use reasonable efforts (at Subtenant’s sole cost) to obtain the consent of Prime Landlord, if
such consent is required under the Prime Lease. If Alterations by Subtenant are permitted or
consented to as aforesaid, Subtenant must comply with all of the covenants of Sublandlord contained
in the Prime Lease pertaining to the performance of such Alterations. In addition, Subtenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord against liability, loss, cost, damage, liens
and expense imposed on Sublandlord arising out of the performance of Alterations by Subtenant.

     17. SURRENDER. At the expiration or termination of this Sublease or of the Subtenant’s
right to possession of the Premises, Subtenant will at once surrender and deliver the Premises,
together with their improvements, to Sublandlord in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and
tear excepted; conditions existing because of Subtenant’s failure to perform maintenance, repairs
or replacements as required of Subtenant under this Sublease shall not be

6

 

deemed “reasonable wear and tear”. The improvements to be surrendered and delivered include all
plumbing, lighting, electrical, heating, cooling and ventilating fixtures and equipment, as well
as fixed partitioning, drapery, wall covering and paneling, built-in cabinet work and carpeting
installations. Subtenant must deliver to Sublandlord ail keys, lock combination and key card
access information as to the Premises. All Alterations to the Premises made by Subtenant will
become a part of and will remain upon the Premises without compensation to Subtenant.. Subtenant
must remove all or any portion of the Alterations made by Subtenant which Prime Landlord will
require Sublandlord to remove under the Prime Lease. If Subtenant is required to remove
Alterations, Subtenant must restore the Premises to a condition reasonably similar as prior to the
making of the Alteration and as required under the Prime Lease, repairing any damage resulting
from the removal or restoration. If Subtenant does not remove the Alterations in accordance with
this Section, Sublandlord may remove the Alterations (and repair any damage occasioned thereby)
and dispose of them, and Subtenant must pay the costs of the removal, repair, and disposal on
demand. As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, Subtenant will not be required to remove any
Alterations performed by Sublandlord prior to the Commencement Date or to restore the Premises to
their condition prior to the making of those Alterations. If, however, the Sublease Term expires
at or about the date of the expiration of the Prime Lease, and if Sublandlord is required under
the Prime Lease to remove any Alterations performed prior to the Commencement Date, Subtenant will
permit Sublandlord, upon notice, to enter the Premises for a reasonable period of time prior to
the expiration of the Sublease Term, subject to such conditions as Subtenant may reasonably
impose, for the purpose of removing its Alterations and restoring the
Premises as required.

     18. REMOVAL OF SUBTENANT’S PROPERTY. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the
Sublease, Subtenant must remove all of its contents, including trade fixtures, machinery,
equipment, furniture and furnishings (“Personalty”). Subtenant must repair any damage to the
Premises or Building resulting from the removal and restore the Premises to a reasonably similar
condition as prior to their installation and as required under the Prime Lease. If Subtenant does
not remove the Personalty on or before the expiration date or earlier termination date of the
Sublease, Sublandlord may, at its option, remove them (and repair any resulting damage) and store,
dispose of or deliver the Personalty to any other place of business of Subtenant, and Subtenant
will pay the cost to Sublandlord on demand, or Sublandlord may treat the Personalty as having been
conveyed to Sublandlord with this Sublease as a Bill of Sale, without further payment or credit by
Sublandlord to Subtenant.

     19. HOLDING
OVER. Subtenant will have no right to occupy the Premises or any portion thereof
after the expiration of this Sublease or after termination of this Sublease or of Subtenant’s right
to possession in consequence of an Event of Default hereunder. In the event Subtenant or any party
claiming by, through or under Subtenant holds over, Sublandlord may exercise any and all remedies
available to it at law or in equity to recover possession of the Premises. Additionally, Subtenant
acknowledges that its holdover under this Sublease (or the holdover of any party claiming by,
though or under Subtenant) will result in Sublandlord holding over under the Prime Lease, and in
that event, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all
damages and holdover rental obligations payable by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord by reason of such
holdover. For each month or partial month

7

 

that Subtenant or any party claiming by, through or under Subtenant holds over, Subtenant must pay,
as minimum damages and not as a penalty, monthly rental at a rate equal to double the rate of Base
Rent and Additional Rent payable by Subtenant immediately prior to the holdover. The acceptance by
Sublandlord of any lesser sum shall be construed as payment on account and not in satisfaction of
damages for such holding over. Subtenant’s obligations under this section will survive termination
of this Sublease.

     20. ENCUMBERING TITLE. Subtenant may not do anything which may encumber the title of Prime
Landlord in and to the Building or the Land, nor may the interest or estate of Prime Landlord or
Sublandlord be subject to any claim by way of lien or encumbrance caused by Subtenant. Any claim
to, or lien upon, the Premises, the Building or the Land arising from any act or omission of
Subtenant will accrue only against the subleasehold estate of Subtenant and will be subordinate to
the rights of Prime Landlord in and to the Building and the Land and the interest of Sublandlord in
the premises leased pursuant to the Prime Lease. Specifically, Subtenant may not permit the
Premises, the Building or the Land to become subject to any mechanics’ lien on account of labor or
material furnished to Subtenant or claimed to have been furnished to Subtenant in connection with
work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on the Premises by or at the
direction or sufferance of Subtenant, provided, however, that if permitted under the Prime Lease,
Subtenant will have the right to contest in good faith if done with reasonable diligence, the
validity of any lien or claimed lien if Subtenant gives to Prime Landlord and Sublandlord such
security as may be deemed satisfactory to them to assure payment and to prevent any sale,
foreclosure, or forfeiture of the Premises, the Building or the Land by reason of non-payment. On
final determination of the lien or claim of lien, Subtenant must immediately pay any judgment
rendered, with all costs and charges, and must have the lien released and any judgment satisfied.

     21. INDEMNITY. Subtenant agrees to indemnify Sublandlord and hold Sublandlord harmless from
all losses, damages, liabilities and expenses which Sublandlord may incur, or for which Sublandlord
may be liable to Prime Landlord or other party, arising from the acts or omissions of Subtenant or
occurrences in the Premises, including without limitation those which are the subject matter of any
indemnity or hold harmless of Sublandlord to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease.

     22. SUBLANDLORD’S RESERVED RIGHTS. Sublandlord reserves the right, on reasonable prior notice
during regular business hours, to inspect the Premises, or to exhibit the Premises to persons
having a legitimate interest at any time during the Sublease Term.

     23. DEFAULTS. Subtenant agrees that any one or more of the following events will be considered
Events of Default:

     24. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default, Sublandlord may
exercise any remedy against Subtenant which Prime Landlord may exercise for default by Sublandlord
under the Prime Lease. Failure by Sublandlord to perform any of its obligations under this Sublease
and continuation of such failure for 30 days after notice from Subtenant of Sublandlord’s breach
will constitute a default by Sublandlord. Upon the occurrence of any such default, Subtenant may,
at its option, exercise any and all remedies available to Subtenant in equity or law.

     25. NOTICES AND CONSENTS. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, agreements or
other communications (“Communications”) which may or are required to be given by either party to
the other must be in writing and will be deemed given when received or refused if sent by United
States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or if sent by
overnight commercial courier service (a) if to Subtenant, addressed to Subtenant at Subtenant’s
Address or at such other place as Subtenant may from time to time designate by notice to
Sublandlord or (b) if to Sublandlord, addressed to Sublandlord at Sublandlord’s Address or at such
other place as Sublandlord may from time to time designate by notice to Subtenant. Each party
agrees promptly to deliver a copy of each Communication from the other party to Prime Landlord, and
promptly to deliver to the other party a copy of any Communication received from Prime Landlord
either asserting a breach of the Prime Lease or pertaining to a matter which reasonably could
materially and adversely affect the other party’s rights and obligations under the Sublease or
Prime Lease. The copies must be delivered by commercial courier for delivery on the next business
day.

     26. PROVISIONS REGARDING SUBLEASE. This Sublease and all the rights of parties hereunder are
subject and subordinate to the Prime Lease. If the Prime Lease terminates before the expiration
of the term of this Sublease, Sublandlord will not be liable to Subtenant for any damages arising
out of such termination, unless such termination results from a default by Sublandlord under the
Prime Lease. Each party agrees that it will not, by its act or omission to act, cause a default
under the Prime Lease. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereby confirm, each to the
other, that it is not practical in this Sublease agreement to enumerate all of the rights and
obligations of the various parties under the Prime Lease and specifically to allocate those rights
and obligations in this Sublease agreement. Accordingly, in order to afford to Subtenant the
benefits of this Sublease and of those provisions of the Prime Lease which by their nature are
intended to benefit the party in possession of the Premises, and in order to protect Sublandlord
against a default by Subtenant which might cause a default or event of default by Sublandlord under
the Prime Lease:

	 	A.	 	Provided Subtenant timely pays all Rent when and as due under this Sublease, Sublandlord will
pay, when and as due, all base rent, additional rent and other charges payable by Sublandlord
to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease;
	 
	 	B.	 	Sublandlord will perform its covenants and obligations under the Prime Lease which do not
require for their performance possession of the Premises

10

 

	 	 	 	and which are not otherwise to be performed hereunder by Subtenant on behalf of Sublandlord.
	 
	 	C.	 	Subtenant will perform all affirmative covenants and will refrain from performing any act
which is prohibited by the negative covenants of the Prime Lease, where the obligation to
perform or refrain from performing is by its nature imposed upon the party in possession of
the Premises. If practicable, Subtenant will perform affirmative covenants which are also
covenants of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease at least five (5) days prior to the date when
Sublandlord’s performance is required under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord will have the right
to enter the Premises to cure any default by Subtenant under this Section.
	 
	 	D.	 	Sublandlord will not agree to an amendment to the Prime Lease,, unless Sublandlord first
obtains Subtenant’s prior approval thereof, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
	 
	 	E.	 	Sublandlord hereby grants to Subtenant the right to receive all of the services and benefits
with respect to the Premises which are to be provided by Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease.
Sublandlord will have no duty to perform any obligations of Prime Landlord which are, by their
nature, the obligation of an owner or manager of real property. For example, Sublandlord will
not be required to provide the services or repairs which the Prime Landlord is required to
provide under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord will have no responsibility for or be liable to
Subtenant for any default, failure or delay on the part of Prime Landlord in the performance
or observance by Prime Landlord of any of its obligations under the Prime Lease, nor will such
default by Prime Landlord affect this Sublease or waive or defer the performance of any of
Subtenant’s obligations hereunder except to the extent that such default by Prime Landlord
excuses performance by Sublandlord, under the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the parties contemplate that Prime Landlord will, in fact, perform its obligations under the
Prime Lease and in the event of any default or failure of such performance by Prime Landlord,
Sublandlord agrees that it will, upon the specific written request of Subtenant, make demand
upon Prime Landlord to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease and, provided that
Subtenant specifically agrees to pay all costs and expenses of Sublandlord and provides
Sublandlord with security reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord to pay such costs and
expenses, Sublandlord will take appropriate legal action to enforce the Prime Lease.

     27. ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Sublandlord will cooperate with Subtenant to request Prime Landlord
to provide services required by Subtenant in addition to those otherwise required to be provided by
Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Subtenant must pay Prime Landlord’s

11

 

charge for such services promptly after having been billed therefor by Prime Landlord or by
Sublandlord. If at any time a charge for such additional services is attributable to the use of
such services both by Sublandlord and by Subtenant, the cost thereof will be equitably divided
between Sublandlord and Subtenant.

     28. PRIME LANDLORD’S CONSENT. This Sublease and the obligations of the parties under it are
expressly conditioned upon Sublandlord’s obtaining Prime Landlord’s written consent to this
Sublease. Subtenant will promptly deliver to Sublandlord any information reasonably requested by
Prime Landlord (in connection with Prime Landlord’s approval of this Sublease) with respect to the
nature and operation of Subtenant’s business and/or the financial condition of Subtenant. This
Sublease and Prime Landlord’s consent hereto shall not (a) create privity of contract between Prime
Landlord and Subtenant; (b) be deemed to have amended the Prime Lease in any regard (unless Prime
Landlord has expressly agreed to such amendment); or (c) be construed as a waiver of Prime
Landlord’s right to consent to any assignment of the Prime Lease by Sublandlord or any further
subletting of premises leased pursuant to the Prime Lease, or as a waiver of Prime Landlord’s right
to consent to any assignment by Subtenant of this Sublease or any sub-subletting of all or any part
of the Premises. If Prime Landlord fails to consent to this Sublease within thirty (30) days after
the execution and delivery of this Sublease, either party has the right to terminate this Sublease
by giving written notice thereof to the other at any time thereafter, but before Prime Landlord
grants such consent.

     29. BROKERAGE. Each party warrants to the other that it has had no dealings with any broker
or agent in connection with this Sublease other than the Broker as specified in Section 1(N), whose
commission will be paid by Sublandlord pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement. Each party
covenants to pay, hold harmless and indemnify the other party from and against any and all costs
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees), expense or liability for any compensation, commissions and
charges claimed by any other broker or other agent with respect to this Sublease or the negotiation
thereof on behalf of such party.

     30. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party will be deemed in default with respect to any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Sublease if that party’s failure to timely perform same is due in
whole or in part to any strike, lockout, labor trouble (whether legal or illegal), civil disorder,
failure of power, restrictive governmental laws and regulations, riots, insurrections, war,
shortages, accidents, casualties, acts of God, delays caused directly by the other party or its
agents, employees and invitees, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Sublandlord.

     31. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. In case of any litigation concerning this Sublease, the prevailing
party will be entitled to recover from the losing party costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees
through all appeals.

     32. PARKING. To the extent transferable and subject to any necessary approval of the Prime
Landlord, Subtenant will be entitled to its pro rata share of the designated and undesignated
parking spaces to which Sublandlord is entitled under the Prime Lease, subject to and in accordance
with the terms and conditions governing parking under the Prime Lease and subject to Subtenant
paying to Sublandlord the fees for such parking spaces pursuant to
the Prime Lease. Subtenant’s

12

 

pro rata share will be equal to seventy four percent (74%), dividing the rentable area of the
Premises by the rentable area of the premises leased by Sublandlord from Prime Landlord pursuant to
the Prime Lease. In the event the rentable area of the Premises or the area of the premises leased
pursuant to the Prime Lease change during the Sublease Term, then this pro rata share is to be
recalculated.

     33. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY. The term “Sublandlord” as used in this Sublease will, to the
extent relating to any covenants or obligations to be performed on the part of Sublandlord and any
liability of Sublandlord arising hereunder, be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners
at the time in question of Sublandlord’s leasehold created under the Prime Lease (the “Leasehold”).
Subtenant acknowledges and agrees, for itself and its successors and assigns, that no trustee,
director, officer, employee or agent of Sublandlord will be personally liable for any of the terms,
covenants, or obligations of Sublandlord hereunder, and Subtenant will look solely to Sublandlord’s
interest in the Leasehold (including rents due under this Sublease) for the collection of any
judgment (or enforcement of any other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by
Sublandlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublease to be
observed or performed by Sublandlord and no other property or assets of Sublandlord will be subject
to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any obligation due
Subtenant or its successors or assigns.

     34. ESCROW OF CERTAIN PAYMENTS. Sublandlord and Subtenant have appointed Regions Bank
as Escrow Agent (“Escrow Agent”) to hold certain sums in accordance with this Section and the
Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D. In accordance with Section 5 above, no
later than delivery of possession of the Premises to Subtenant, Subtenant will deliver to Escrow
Agent the sum of $136,000. Additionally, Subtenant will pay to Escrow Agent the first 4 monthly
installments of Base Rent together with Florida sales tax thereon (each installment being
$47,050.31, for an aggregate amount of $188,201.22). Except in the event that the Sublease has
terminated as a result of Sublandlord’s default under the Prime Lease (not caused by Subtenant’s
act or omission) within 2 years after the Commencement Date, the escrowed funds, with all interest
earned thereon, will be paid to Sublandlord in 18 approximately equal monthly disbursements,
beginning on the first day of the calendar month occurring on or after the second anniversary of
the Commencement Date (so that if the Commencement Date is May 15, 2009, payment of the escrowed
funds to Sublandlord will commence May 15, 2011). If the Sublease terminates as a result of
Sublandlord’s default under the Prime Lease (not caused by Subtenant’s act or omission), the
escrowed funds will be promptly paid to Subtenant to be applied to damages suffered by Subtenant as
a result of such termination, and Subtenant will furnish to Sublandlord a detailed accounting of
the application of those funds to Subtenant’s damages. If it is ultimately determined that the
escrowed funds delivered to Subtenant exceed the actual damages suffered by Subtenant as a result
of such Sublease termination (the “Excess Payment”), then Subtenant will promptly pay to
Sublandlord the amount of the Excess Payment together with interest at the rate such funds would
have earned had the funds remained in escrow.

between Tenant and Subtenant, a copy of
which is attached hereto.

Dear                     :

Pursuant to Section 23 of the Master Lease, you, as Tenant under said Master Lease, have
requested the Landlord’s consent to sublease the Sublet Premises to the Subtenant. We hereby
consent to the Sublease of the Sublet Premises to the Subtenant, upon the following express terms
and conditions:

     1. The Sublease shall be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and to all of its
terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements, except as set forth below. Master Tenant
and Subtenant represent and warrant to Landlord that (i) the copy of the Sublease attached hereto
is true, complete and correct and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and (ii)
the Sublease shall not be modified, terminated or amended without prior thirty (30) days written
notice to Landlord.

18

 

     2. Subject to Section 5 below, the term of the Sublease shall automatically terminate upon the
termination of the Master Lease for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the
termination of the Master Lease prior to the expiration of the term thereof pursuant to a written
agreement between Landlord and Tenant.

     3. The Subtenant shall be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and
agreements of the Master Lease with respect to the Sublet Premises.

     4. Neither
the Sublease nor this Consent shall:

	 	(a)	 	Release or discharge the Tenant from any liability, whether
past, present or future, under the Master Lease;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Operate as a consent or approval by Landlord to any of the
terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of the Sublease, and
Landlord shall not be bound thereby, except as may be provided in Section 5
below;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Be construed to modify, waive or affect any of the terms,
covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of the Master Lease, or to
waive any breach thereof, or any of Landlord’s rights as the landlord
thereunder, or to enlarge or increase Landlord’s obligations thereunder; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	Be construed as a consent by Landlord to any further subletting
either by Tenant or by the Subtenant or to any assignment by Tenant of the
Master Lease, or assignment by the Subtenant of the Sublease, it being clearly
understood that this Consent shall not in any way be construed to relieve
Tenant or Subtenant of the obligation to obtain Landlord’s prior written
consent to any further subletting or assignment;
	 
	 	(e)	 	Obligate Landlord to accept payments by or from Subtenant,
except as may be provided in Section 5 below.

     5. (a) In an event of Default (as defined in the Master Lease) by Tenant under the Master
Lease, the rent due from the Subtenant under the Sublease shall be deemed assigned to Landlord, and
Landlord shall have the right, at any time, upon such default at Landlord’s option, to give notice
of such assignment to the Subtenant, whereupon Subtenant shall pay all rent thereafter becoming due
and payable directly to Landlord. Landlord shall credit Tenant with any rent received by Landlord,
but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from the Subtenant shall not release Tenant
from any liability under the Master Lease. Upon the occurrence of a Tenant’s Default which would
result in a termination of the Master Lease, Landlord agrees to allow Subtenant, at Subtenant’s
option, to assume the Master Lease from Tenant upon the same terms and conditions contained in the
Master Lease, including, without limitation, the assumption of the Master Lease with respect to the
entire Premises. Subtenant will provide notice to Landlord and Tenant of its intentions regarding
assumption of the Master Lease no later than ten (10) business days after Subtenant’s receipt of
notice of Tenant’s Default

19

 

(“Subtenant’s Assumption Notice”). Should Subtenant fail to deliver the Subtenant’s Assumption
Notice within the foregoing fifteen (15) day business period, Subtenant’s option to assume the
Master Lease shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect. Should Subtenant
timely deliver Subtenant’s Assumption Notice, no later than ten (10) business days after the date
of Subtenant’s Assumption Notice, Tenant shall assign the Master Lease to Subtenant, Subtenant
shall assume the Master Lease, and Landlord shall consent to such assignment and assumption.
Subtenant shall cure all of the Tenant’s Defaults under the Master Lease no later than ten (10)
business days after the effective date of the assumption and, should Subtenant fail to cure such
defaults within such ten (10) business day period, then the assignment and assumption of the
Master Lease shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect. Assumption of the
Master Lease by Subtenant will not waive nor release Tenant from any liability or claims arising
from Tenant’s Default under the Master Lease.

          (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.(a) above, any payment of rent from the Subtenant directly to
Landlord, or any other action by Subtenant, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor,
shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by Subtenant to Landlord in the absence of a
specific written agreement signed by Landlord to such effect. Landlord in its sole and absolute
discretion may at any time elect to have Subtenant attorn to Landlord or vacate the Premises
(unless Subtenant assumes the Master Lease in accordance with Section 5.(a) above), by giving
thirty (30) days advance written notice to Subtenant. If Landlord elects to have Subtenant attorn
to Landlord, such notice shall state that Landlord is assuming Tenant’s position under the Sublease
and that Subtenant shall attorn to Landlord and be bound to Landlord under all the terms, covenants
and conditions of the Sublease for the balance of the Sublease term and any extensions or renewals
thereof which may then or later be in effect, all with the same force and effect as if Subtenant
had been the original Tenant for the Sublet Premises under the Master Lease. Any attornment shall
be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments.

          (c) In no event shall Landlord be (i) liable for any act or omission by Tenant, (ii) subject
to any offsets or defenses which Subtenant had or might have against Tenant, (iii) obligated to
recognize and credit Subtenant with any security deposit or other payment has been remitted by
Tenant to Landlord and identified by Tenant (in writing) as being such security deposit or other
payment, (iv) obligated to perform or pay for the build-out of the Sublet Premises, or (v) bound by
any amendment to the Sublease not consented to by Landlord, in writing.

     6. Tenant and Subtenant shall be and continue to be liable for the payment of all bills
rendered by Landlord, if any, for charges incurred by the Subtenant for services and materials
supplied to the Sublet Premises.

     7. This Consent is not assignable.

     8. All alterations, additions (electrical, mechanical or otherwise) or physical changes to the
Sublet Premises made by the Tenant shall be made only in accordance with Section 12 of the Master
Lease. In no event shall the Subtenant have any right to make any alterations, additions or
physical changes to the Sublet Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent.

20

 

The removal or any alterations, additions or changes to the Sublet Premises and the repair of any
damages caused by such removal shall be governed by Section 11
of the Master Lease.

     9. Nothing contained herein shall operate as a representation or warranty by Landlord of any
nature whatsoever.

     10. Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or more culpable conduct of Landlord,
Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s members, manager, partner,
officers, directors and agents against and from any and all claims arising from or related to the
following: (a) Subtenant’s use of the Sublet Premises or any activity done, permitted or suffered
by Subtenant in, on or about the Sublet Premises or the Property; (b) any act or omission by
Subtenant or Subtenant’s agents, advisors, employees, partners, shareholders, directors, invitees
or independent contractors (collectively, “Subtenant’s Agents”) in connection with or related to
the Sublease, the Sublet Premises or the Property; (c) any Hazardous Material used, stored,
released, disposed, generated, or transported by Subtenant or Subtenant’s Agent in, on or about the
Sublet Premises, including without limitation, any claims arising from or related to mold or to any
Hazardous Material investigations, monitorings, cleanup or other remedial action; and (d) any
action or proceeding brought on account of any matter referred to above. If any action or
proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord,
Tenant shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
The obligations of Tenant and Subtenant under this Section 10 shall survive any termination or
expiration of the Sublease or the Master Lease.

     11. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Sublease, Subtenant shall, at
Subtenant’s expense, with respect to the Sublet Premises, secure and keep in force during the term
of the Sublease such insurance as required of Tenant under the Master Lease. Without limiting the
generality of the immediately preceding sentence, such policy or policies of insurance (including
the excess liability insurance policy) shall name Landlord and its manager, investment adviser and
lenders, if any, as additional insureds. A certificate evidencing such insurance shall be
delivered to Landlord promptly after the date hereof.

     12. As required by Section 23 of the Master Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional
Rent, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of any rent and additional rent payable by Subtenant, less
(1) Base Rent plus Additional Rent under the Lease allocable to the Premises (as defined herein)
and (2) Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Lease). Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord no
later that fifteen (15) days after the rent and additional rent payable by Subtenant has been
collected by Tenant.

     13. This Consent may be executed in counterparts.

     14. This Consent shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Florida. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Consent and the
Sublease, the Consent shall control. Terms not defined in this Consent shall have the same
meanings as in the Master Lease.

21

account not using one of the investment vehicles used by Regions Bank for its short-term
investments.

     The Acceptance Fee and the Annual Escrow Fee are payable upon execution of the escrow
documents. In the event the escrow is not funded, the Acceptance Fee and all related
expenses, including attorneys’ fees remain due and payable, and if paid, will not be
refunded. Annual fees cover a full year in advance, or any part thereof, and thus are not
pro-rated in the year of termination. All other fees, if any, will be billed to the client
in arrears.
