under the Bankruptcy Code and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (iv) has
admitted in writing its inability, or is generally unable to, pay its debts as they become

assets;

(k) which is owed by a Customer which (i) does not maintain its chief executive office

Administrative Agent;

the Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. § 3727 et
seq. and 41 U.S.C. § 15 et seq.), and any other steps necessary to
perfect the Lien of the Administrative Agent in such Receivable have been complied with to
the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction; provided that up to $2,500,000 in the
aggregate of Receivables which would otherwise constitute an Eligible Receivable but for
this clause, shall be permitted to be included as an Eligible Receivable;

(m) which is owed by any Affiliate, employee, officer, director, agent or stockholder

permitted to be included as an Eligible Receivable;

(n) the proceeds of which, pursuant to an arrangement with a Customer, are required to
be applied to the payment of Property Expenses due and outstanding to any third party (other

or

(o) which is subject to any counterclaim, deduction, defense, setoff or dispute but
only to the extent of any such counterclaim, deduction, defense, setoff or dispute.

In the event that a Receivable which was previously an Eligible Receivable ceases to be an
Eligible Receivable hereunder, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof on and at
the time of submission to the Administrative Agent of the next Borrowing Base Certificate. In
determining the amount of an Eligible Receivable, the face amount of a Receivable may, in the
Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion, be reduced by, without duplication, to the extent not
reflected in such face amount, (i) the amount of all accrued and actual discounts, claims, credits
or credits pending, promotional program allowances, price adjustments, finance charges or other
allowances (including any amount that any Loan Party may be obligated to rebate to a Customer

to result in liability to any of the Loan Parties; (c) any failure by any Pension Plan to satisfy

that (A) there shall be no more than two Borrowing Dates (excluding any Additional Loans), (B) the
aggregate principal amount of each Lender’s Loans (excluding any Additional Loans) shall not exceed
such Lender’s Commitment and (C) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans (excluding any

claim or any request for any payment is made under or in respect of any Payment Guaranty and such
demand, claim or request shall not have been satisfied in full within five Business Days after such
demand, claim or request is made, the Lenders shall have the right (in their sole discretion and
in accordance with their Aggregate Exposure Percentage) to elect to cause the Borrower to borrow
additional Loans hereunder (any such additional Loans, the “Additional Loans”), the
proceeds of which shall be used by the Borrower (together with any other available funds) within
one Business Day following receipt of such proceeds to satisfy in full such demand, claim or
request. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the terms of the Additional
Loans shall be identical in all respects to all other Loans made hereunder.

2.2 Procedure for Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments on any
Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice
prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, twelve Business Days (or such shorter period of time to

Date, specifying (i) the amount of Loans to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date.
Each borrowing under the Commitments shall be in a minimum principal amount of $4,000,000. Upon
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.

Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office no later than 12:00
Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately

21

 

2.5 Mandatory Prepayments . (a) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net
Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be
delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the
prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.5(d); provided, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales and Recovery Events that may be
excluded from the foregoing requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $250,000
and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment
Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of
the Loans as set forth in Section 2.5(d).

(b) If on any date of determination the aggregate principal amount of Loans (excluding any
Additional Loans) outstanding exceeds the Borrowing Base (such excess amount being referred to
herein as, an “Over Advance”), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount
equal to such Over Advance on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be
required to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) so long as (i) the aggregate amount
of Over Advances on such date does not exceed $3,000,000, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (iii) an amount equal to (A) 110% of the aggregate principal amount of
Loans (excluding any Additional Loans) outstanding on such date minus (B) the Borrowing Base is
deposited by the Borrower on such date in an interest-bearing segregated account subject to the
sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent (the “Over Advance Account”), and
(iv) upon the earlier of (A) the next date on which the Borrower is required to deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 6.2 and (B) the occurrence of
a Default or an Event of Default, the Borrower either (i) directs the Administrative Agent to apply
the proceeds in the Over Advance Account equal to the then applicable Over Advances to the
prepayment of the Loans (with the remaining balance to be paid to the Borrower in such account
designated by the Borrower) or (ii) only to the extent no Over Advance exists on such date, directs
the Administrative Agent to (and the Administrative Agent thereafter shall promptly, but in any
event within two (2) Business Days of receiving such direction) deposit all amounts in the Over
Advance Account to such account designated by the Borrower in writing at such time.

(c) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Group Member (excluding any Indebtedness
incurred in accordance with Section 7.2), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof
shall be applied on the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in
Section 2.5(d).

(d) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be
applied to the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.9. Each prepayment of the
Loans under Section 2.5 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on
the amount prepaid and the prepayment premium pursuant to Section 2.6.

2.6 Prepayment Premium. All voluntary prepayments of principal of Loans pursuant to
Section 2.4, all mandatory repayments of principal of Loans required pursuant to Section 2.5 and
all repayments of principal of Loans required pursuant to Section 8 as a result of the acceleration
thereof will be subject to payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
account of each Lender, of a prepayment premium on the principal amount so prepaid or repaid, of
4.0%; provided that such prepayment premium shall be reduced to 2.0% in the event the
Borrower makes more than one borrowing under the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.2;
provided, further that no such prepayment premium shall be required to be paid by
the Borrower if such prepayment or repayment was required to be made as a result of a Specified
Change of Control Transaction in which the per share market value of the common stock is equal to
or greater than $1.10 per share. Such prepayment premium shall be due and payable upon the date of
any voluntary prepayment or the due date of such mandatory prepayment or required repayment, as the
case may be.

 

22

 

2.7 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Loan shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the Interest Rate.

(b) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, all amounts shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.0%.

(c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that
interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on
demand.

(d) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may elect to
(i) pay all interest due on any Interest Payment Date in cash or (ii) pay up to 100% of the
interest due on such Interest Payment Date by adding such interest to the principal amount of the
outstanding Loans and the remaining portion of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date in
cash (such election, a “PIK Election”; and such interest added to the principal amount of
the outstanding Loans, the “PIK Amounts”). Unless otherwise notified at least five
Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date (and in the absence of an Event of
Default), the Borrower will be deemed to have made a PIK Election with respect to all of the
interest due on any Interest Payment Date. In the event of any PIK Election, the Parent Guarantor
shall issue to the Lenders (in accordance with their Aggregate Exposure Percentage) additional
warrants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H to purchase a number of shares (not less than
zero) of common stock of the Parent Guarantor equal to (x) an amount equal to the product of (i)
the Closing Date Warrant Shares and (ii) a ratio equal to (A) the aggregate principal amount of
Loans outstanding (including all PIK Amounts) at such date over (B) the aggregate principal amount
of Loans outstanding (excluding all PIK Amounts) at such date minus (y) the aggregate
amount of Closing Date Warrant Shares and any Additional Warrants issued to the Lenders since the
Closing Date (such additional warrants, the “Additional Warrants”). The Parent Guarantor
shall issue any such Additional Warrants at the time of each such PIK Election. In addition, the
Parent Guarantor shall issue to the Lenders (in accordance with their Aggregate Exposure
Percentage) Additional Warrants on the final Interest Payment Date (whether at the stated maturity
or otherwise) if the Borrower has made a PIK Election with respect to more than 50% of the
aggregate amount of accrued interest payable on the Loans up to such final Interest Payment Date.
The amount of Additional Warrants issued on the final Interest Payment Date shall be calculated as
set forth above in this paragraph assuming that the Borrower had made a PIK Election with respect
to all interest paid on such final Interest Payment Date.

2.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual days elapsed.

2.9 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the
Lenders hereunder and each payment by the Borrower on account of any fee shall be made pro
rata according to the respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage of the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest and premium on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. Amounts prepaid
under Section 2.5(b) shall be applied to Loans other than Additional Loans. Amounts prepaid on
account of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be
made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, premium, fees or
otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in immediately available funds. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt
in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any
payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of
principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then
applicable rate during such extension.

 

23

 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to
a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing
Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall
also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at Interest Rate then in effect, on
demand, from the Borrower.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior
to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata
shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to
the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
against the Borrower.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.9(d), 2.9(e) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or
(ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any
future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses
(i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

 

24

 

2.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (i) regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof or shall have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by such Lender to be material or (ii) subjects any Lender to any Tax (other than
Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments,
or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto,
then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in
connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted
or issued.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by
any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more
than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention
to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such
claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period
of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

2.11 Taxes. (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan
Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such
withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in good faith, that it is
so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the
full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be
increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to
additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have
received had no such withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in
connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.11(d))
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.11(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the
Recipient delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so
paid or payable by such Recipient. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or
payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the
Administrative Agent.

 

25

 

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent
that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that
are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity
under this Section 2.11(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to
the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the
Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and
all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or
reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such
payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution
and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Sections 2.11(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense (or, in the case of a change in a Requirement of Law, any incremental material unreimbursed
cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any
form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(f).

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a
U.S. Person, any Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party
hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan
Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect
to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under any Loan Document
constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

26

 

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the
effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States
with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made
under any Loan Document (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form
W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C),
(D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner
or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender;
provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of
its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a
reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation
necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax
(if any) required by law to be withheld.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this
Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made
under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such
indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified
party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event
such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(g), in no event will any indemnified
party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) if
such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax
basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional
amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.11(g) shall not be
construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any
other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10 or 2.11(a) with respect to such Lender, it will,
if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of
such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made
on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to
suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that
nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the
rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11(a).

 

27

 

2.13 Tax Treatment of Units. The Parent Guarantor, the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders hereby agree (i) to treat the Loans made on the Closing Date and the Closing
Date Warrants as an investment unit consisting of Warrants and a Loan and to allocate the purchase
price between the underlying Warrants and Loan in the proportions set forth on Schedule 2.13
hereto, which Schedule shall be agreed to among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Borrower and completed no later than April 22, 2011, and (ii) unless required by applicable
law, each of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will not
take any position on a tax return inconsistent with (i) or (ii).

2.14 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that
(a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 or (b)
defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial institution;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement,
(iii) prior to any replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.12 so as to
eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11,
(iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts
owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the replacement
financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, (vii) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section
2.10 or Section 2.11, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such
replacement shall be consummated, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have
against the replaced Lender.

SECTION 3. FEES

3.1 Closing Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender (on a pro rata basis based on each such Lender’s respective Aggregate

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
the Loans, the Parent Guarantor and Borrower hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to
the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

Guarantor as at December 31, 2010, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the related
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates,
reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Ernst & Young LLP, present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Parent Guarantor as at such
date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Parent
Guarantor as at September 30, 2010, June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, and the related unaudited
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-, six- and nine-month periods ended
on such dates, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated

 

28

 

financial condition of
the Parent Guarantor as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its
consolidated cash flows for the three-, six- and nine-month periods then ended (subject to normal
year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and
notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the
periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed
therein). As of the Closing Date, no Group Member has any Guarantee Obligations, contingent
liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term
commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other
obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial
statements referred to in this paragraph or previously disclosed by the Parent Guarantor in its
filings and current reports with the SEC, except for any such liabilities or obligations which
could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. During the period
from December 31, 2010 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by any Group
Member of any material part of its business or property.

4.2 No Change. Since March 30, 2011, there has been no development or event that has
had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other
organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in
compliance with all Requirements of Law except, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), to the extent
that the failure to be so qualified or comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and
authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow the Loans hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken
all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowing
of the Loans on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing
with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is
required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance,
validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents,
authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations,
filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings
referred to in Section 4.19 and (iii) immaterial consents, authorizations, filings and notices.
Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto.
This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal,
valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan
Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate
any material Requirement of Law or any material Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will
not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective
properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other
than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation
applicable to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

 

29

 

4.6 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, no litigation, investigation or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of
the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of
their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. To the
best knowledge of each Group Member, no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any
Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or
effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor know of
any valid basis for any such claim. To the best knowledge of any Loan Party, the use of
Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any
material respect.

4.10 Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and
other material Tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all Taxes shown to be due and
payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other
Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority
(other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been
provided on the books of the relevant Group Member); no Tax Lien has been filed, and, to the
knowledge of the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any
such Tax, fee or other charge.

4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used (a) for
“buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted
terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect for any purpose that
violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board or (b) for any purpose that violates the
provisions of the Regulations of the Board. No more than 25% of the assets of the Group Members
consist of “margin stock” as so defined.

have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group
Member pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment

or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from
any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a
liability on the books of the relevant Group Member.

 

30

 

4.13 ERISA. (a) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have
a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each of the Loan Parties is in compliance with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the Code relating to Plans and the regulations and
published interpretations thereunder; (ii) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur; and (iii) all amounts required by applicable law with respect to, or by the terms of, any
retiree welfare benefit arrangement maintained by any of the Loan Parties or to which any of the
Loan Parties has an obligation to contribute have been accrued in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations
under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements
reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than a material amount the fair market value of the assets
of such Pension Plan allocable to such accrued benefits, and the present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent
financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than a material amount the fair market
value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans.

(b) Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (i) all employer and employee contributions required by applicable law or by the terms of
any Foreign Benefit Arrangement or Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued in

applicable regulatory authorities; and (iv) each such Foreign Benefit Arrangement and Foreign Plan
is in compliance (A) with all material provisions of applicable law and all material applicable
regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to such Foreign Benefit
Arrangement or Foreign Plan and (B) with the terms of such plan or arrangement.

4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any
Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur
Indebtedness.

4.15 Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in
writing from time to time after the Closing Date, (a) Schedule 4.15 sets forth the name and
jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of
each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions,
options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options
granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any

Payment Guaranty.

 

31

 

4.17 Environmental Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by any Group Member (the
“Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of
Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or
constituted a violation of, or could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law;

(b) no Group Member has received or is aware of any notice of violation, alleged violation,
non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with

such notice will be received or is being threatened;

(c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the
Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could give rise to liability

(g) no Group Member has assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental Laws.

4.18 Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or
on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for use in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro
forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good
faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at
the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it
relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or
periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth
therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the
other Loan Documents or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

 

32

 

4.19 Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to
create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and
enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the
case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when stock
certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent (together
with a properly completed and signed stock power or endorsement), and in the case of the other
Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements and other
filings specified on Schedule 4.19 in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on
Schedule 4.19, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on,
and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and
the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to
any other Person (except for (i) Permitted Liens arising solely by operation of law and (ii)
purchase money liens permitted under Section 7.3).

(b) Upon execution and delivery, each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the
Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in
the applicable filing or recording offices, each such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected
Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the
Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the
relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than
Persons holding Liens and encumbrances or rights permitted by the relevant Mortgage and this
Agreement).

4.20 Solvency. Each of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower, after giving effect to
the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection with the Loan
Documents, will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

4.21 Regulation H. No Mortgage encumbers improved real property that is located in an
area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having
special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968.

4.22 Accuracy of Borrowing Base. At the time any Borrowing Base Certificate is
delivered pursuant to this Agreement, each Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing
Base, (to the best knowledge of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower in the case of criteria that
are subject to the Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion) satisfies all criteria stated
herein to be an Eligible Receivable.

the proceeds of such Additional Loans (together with any other available funds) within one
Business Day following receipt of such proceeds to satisfy in full such demand, claim or
request;

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or
(ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall
immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest and premium thereon) and all other
amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and
payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following
actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may,
or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the
Borrower declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall
immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the
Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest and premium thereon) and all other amounts owing
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the
same shall immediately become due and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section,
presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower.

SECTION 9. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents by or through agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to
advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the
exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section shall apply to any such agent,
sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and to the Affiliates of any such agent, sub-agent or
attorney-in-fact, and shall apply to their respective activities as agent, sub-agent or
attorney-in-fact as if such agent, sub-agent, attorney-in-fact and Affiliates were named herein.

 

53

 

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, sub-agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i)
liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the
foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii)
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a
party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall
not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other
document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or
made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including
counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by
this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a
Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all
Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such
directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem
advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

54

 

9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative
Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision
to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to
inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that
may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its
officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, sub-agents, advisors and controlling persons
(each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate
Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section
(or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated
and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure
Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the
Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action
taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that
are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its
affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With
respect to its Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

 

55

 

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative
Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then
the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which
successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject
to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such
appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the
Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is
10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders
shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section
9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant
Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into
written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the
purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on
such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i)
forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the
stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with
the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) any Lender may elect to reduce or cancel any
Obligations owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of the Warrants without the consent of any
other Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party) or extend the scheduled date of any
payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment,
in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate
or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of
such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent
to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or
release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (iv) amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision of any Loan Document that affects
the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Any such waiver
and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and
shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future
holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and
not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of
Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

57

made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered

10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees:

(a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any
amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other
documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses;

(b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and
disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to
each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent;

(c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any
and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from
any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other Taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be
payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any
of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver
or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents; and

(d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective
officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, sub-agents, advisors and controlling persons
(each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities,
obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and
other charges of counsel) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including
any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of,
noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any
Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in
connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any
Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any
Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are
found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the
foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Parent Guarantor and the
Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and
agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of
recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages,
costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of
them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section
10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this
Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

 

58

 

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or the
Parent Guarantor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person, all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.

(ii) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any
amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower agrees that it will cooperate with
such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and will execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, all such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request to effect such assignment.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an Assignee and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of
this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

59

 

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant
to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1)
requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second
sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 (subject to the
requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(f) (it being
understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(f) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to
be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph
(b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
2.10 or 2.11, with respect to any participation, than
its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such
entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells
a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and
stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this
Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation
to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of
any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans
or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of
this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d)  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue
Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph
(d) above.

 

60

 

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court
order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a
“Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to
it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events
or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion
than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the
Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the
other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other
Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender,
such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of
such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable
by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the
payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at
any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or
agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
application.

IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING THE SECURITIES, (2) THE SALE IS MADE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR (3) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO
COMPANY IS DELIVERED STATING THAT SUCH DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION
FROM SUCH REGISTRATION (WHICH OPINION MAY BE RENDERED BY IN-HOUSE COUNSEL).

WARRANT TO PURCHASE [                    ] SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Issue Date: [                    ]

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [                    ] (together with its transferees, “Holder”),
is entitled to subscribe for and purchase [                    ] ([                    ]) shares (the “Warrant Shares”)
of fully paid and nonassessable $0.01 par value per share Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of
Grubbs & Ellis Company, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), at the Warrant Price (as hereinafter
defined), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed in Section
17 hereof.

1. Warrant Price. The “Warrant Price” shall initially be one cent ($0.01) per share,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below.

2. Conditions to Exercise. Unless this Warrant has previously expired pursuant to the
terms specified herein, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 7 below, during the term commencing on the Issue Date and ending
at 5:00 P.M. Pacific time on the third anniversary of the Issue Date of this Warrant (the
“Expiration Date”) only in the following circumstances:

(a) Exercisability Upon Satisfaction of Fundamental Change Condition. Holder may
exercise this Warrant on or before the Expiration Date upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change
in which the consideration received for each share of Common Stock has a fair market value equal to
or greater than One Dollar and Ten Cents ($1.10) per share (the “Trigger Price”); provided
that if an Early Termination Event occurs this Warrant shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect; or

(b) Exercisability Upon Satisfaction of VWAP Condition. Holder may exercise this
Warrant on or before the Expiration Date beginning from the first date on which the VWAP for any
thirty (30) consecutive calendar day period following the date hereof is equal to or greater than
the Trigger Price.

 

 

 

3. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of Shares; Issuance of New Warrant; Put
Rights. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the Warrant may be exercised, at the option of the
Holder, by any one or combination of the following methods:

(a) Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented by
this Warrant may be exercised, by Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of the original of
this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached
hereto) at the principal office of Company (as set forth in Section 20 below) and by providing
payment to Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of an amount equal to the
product of the Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being
purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates
for the shares of stock so purchased (the “Share Certificates”) shall be in the name of, and
delivered to, Holder, or such other Person as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of
transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Such
delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s
expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms
and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant
Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be
issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Cashless Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, if the Per Share Market Value of
one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of
calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, Holder may
exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event Company shall
issue to Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

	 	X = Y	 	-  (A)(Y) 
            B

	Where	 	 X =  	  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

	 	Y =	 	 the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
	 
	 	A =	 	 the Warrant Price.
	 
	 	B =	 	 the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on
the date of exercise.

In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Share Certificates
shall be in the name of, and delivered to, Holder, or such other Person as such Holder may direct
(subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder of any
applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise
of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or
expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and
representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall
not have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of
this Warrant.

(c) Loan Reduction Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right
represented by this Warrant may be exercised, by Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of
the original of this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the
form attached hereto) at the principal office of Company and by delivering to Company an executed
amendment to the Credit Agreement among Grubb & Ellis Management Services, Inc., as Borrower, Grubb
& Ellis Company, as Parent Guarantor, the Several Lenders from time to time parties thereto, and
ColFin GNE Loan Funding, LLC, as Administrative Agent, dated as of April 15, 2011. (the “Credit
Agreement”), reducing the principal amount owed by an amount equal to the product of the Warrant
Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased. In the event of
any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, Share Certificates shall be in the name of,
and delivered to, Holder, or such other Person as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of
transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Such
delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s
expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms
and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant
Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be
issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

4. Representations and Warranties of Holder and Company.

(a) Representations and Warranties by Holder. Holder represents and warrants to
Company with respect to this purchase as follows:

(i) Authorization. All company action on the part of Holder, its officers, directors,
shareholders, members or partners, as applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution,
delivery and performance of its obligations under this Warrant has been taken and this Warrant
constitutes the legally binding and valid obligation of Holder enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

(ii) Evaluation. Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in
private placement transactions of securities of companies similar to Company so that Holder is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Company and has the capacity to
protect its interests.

(iii) Resale. Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant (collectively the “Securities”) for investment for its own account, not as
a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution
thereof. Holder understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions
of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as
expressed herein and the other representations and warranties of Holder contained herein.

(iv) Rule 144. Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely
unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which permit limited resale
of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(v) Accredited Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of
Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

 

3

 

(vi) Opportunity To Discuss. Holder has read, understood, and is familiar with
Company’s public filings available at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website and has had
an opportunity to discuss Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management
and an opportunity to review Company’s facilities. Holder understands that such discussions, as
well as the written information issued by Company, were intended to describe the aspects of
Company’s business and prospects which Company believes to be material but were not necessarily a
thorough or exhaustive description.

warrants to Holder as follows: 

(i) Corporate Organization and Authority. Company (a) is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing, and in good standing in its jurisdiction of incorporation, and (b) has
the corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as
now conducted. Company is qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions where such

a material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations
or financial condition of Company.

(ii) Corporate Power. Company has all requisite legal and corporate power and
authority to execute, issue and deliver this Warrant, to issue the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise or conversion of this Warrant, and to carry out and perform its obligations under this
Warrant and any related agreements.

officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and
performance of its obligations under this Warrant and for the authorization, issuance and delivery
of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant has been taken and
this Warrant constitutes the legally binding and valid obligation of Company enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights, or to principles of equity.

(iv) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares. This Warrant has been validly
issued and is free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer set forth herein
and under applicable state and federal securities laws. The Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion
of this Warrant, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Warrant for
the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer set forth herein
and under applicable state and federal securities laws. Subject to applicable restrictions on
transfer, the issuance and delivery of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant are not subject to any preemptive or other similar rights or any
liens or encumbrances except as specifically set forth in Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or
this Warrant or except as created by Holder. Subject to the accuracy of Holder’s representations
and warranties contained in Section 4(a), the offer, sale and issuance of the Warrant Shares, as
contemplated by this Warrant, are exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of
applicable United States federal and state securities laws, and neither Company nor any authorized
agent acting on its behalf has or will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such
exemption.

(v) No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Warrant will not
result in (a) any violation of, conflict with, or constitute a default under, with or
without the passage of time or the giving of notice (1) any provision of Company’s Certificate
of Incorporation or by-laws; (2) any provision of any material judgment, decree, or order to which
Company is a party, by which it is bound, or to which any of its material assets are subject; (3)
any material contract, obligation, or commitment to which Company is a party or by which it is

is complete and accurate as of [                    ] and reflects (a) all outstanding capital stock of
Company and (b) all outstanding warrants, options, conversion privileges, preemptive rights or
other rights or agreements to purchase or otherwise acquire or issue any equity securities or
convertible securities of Company. Company has authorized the issuance of a total of 20,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, 1,000,000 of which have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, and
200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and no other shares of preferred stock have been designated or
issued.

5. Legends.

(a) Legend. Each certificate representing the Warrant Shares shall be endorsed with
substantially the following legend:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (1) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING THE SECURITIES, (2) THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR (3) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO
COMPANY IS DELIVERED STATING THAT SUCH DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN

Company need not enter into its stock records a transfer of Warrant Shares unless the
conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied. Company may also instruct its
transfer agent not to allow the transfer of any of the Warrant Shares unless the conditions
specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied.

(b) Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. The legend relating to the Act
endorsed on a certificate pursuant to paragraph 5(a) of this Warrant shall be removed and Company
shall issue a certificate without such legend to Holder if (i) the Securities are registered under
the Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is available, or (ii)
Company has received an opinion of counsel (which may include the opinion of in-house counsel)
reasonably satisfactory to Company to the effect that public sale, transfer or assignment of the

6. Conditions to Transfer or Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the further provisions
of this Section 6, this Warrant and the Warrant Shares represented hereby may be sold, transferred,
conveyed or assigned by Holder. This Warrant may not be transferred to any person who is not an
“accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. It
shall be a condition to any transfer or exercise of this Warrant that at the time of such
transfer or exercise, Holder shall provide Company with a representation in writing that Holder or
transferee is acquiring this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise for
investment purposes only, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to any sale or
distribution. As further condition to each transfer, at the request of Company, Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to Company and the transferee shall receive and accept a Warrant, of like
terms, tenor and date, executed by Company.

7. Adjustment for Certain Events.

(a) Adjustment Exceptions. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 7 (in
each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 7);
provided that this Section 7 will not apply to: (i) the issuance of any Additional
Warrants (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (ii) the issuance of any Common Stock upon the
exercise of the Closing Date Warrants (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or any Additional
Warrants; (iii) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company’s existing outstanding
12% cumulative participating perpetual convertible preferred stock upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of the 12%
Cumulative Participating Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock as such conversion terms thereof are
in effect as of April 15, 2011; (iv) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company’s
existing outstanding 7.95% convertible senior securities due 2015, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Indenture for the 7.95% Convertible Senior Securities due 2015 as such
conversion terms thereof are in effect as of April 15, 2011; and (v) the issuance of Common Stock
as equity compensation to employees, officers, directors and independent contractor brokers (in
each case including as inducements to new hires or appointees) (collectively the “Equity
Compensation Grants”), provided that this exception to the adjustment provisions of this Section 7
is limited to the following Equity Compensation Grants: (A) the issuance of any shares of common
stock pursuant to any outstanding (as of April 15, 2011) options, restricted stock awards, stock
appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other equity grants (the “Existing Equity
Compensation”), and (B) the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the form

equity grants (the “Additional Equity Compensation”) and the issuance of the Common Stock
underlying such Additional Equity Compensation plus any Additional Equity Compensation and any
Existing Equity Compensation that is forfeited, expired or terminated provided that any amount
issued in excess of the above will result in any requisite adjustment under this Section 7.

 

6

 

 (b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except in
the case of an event described in either Section 7(d) or Section 7(e), if Company shall, at any
time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 7(c)
is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for
consideration per share less than either: (i) the Per Share Market Value or (ii) the Trigger
Price, as such amounts are proportionately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock
combinations, stock dividends and other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Common
Stock after the Issue Date, (collectively the “Original Prices” and the greater of (i) or (ii) the
“Original Adjustment Price”), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or
sale), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any
such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares
equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) by a fraction
(which shall in no event be less than one):

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding
immediately after such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (B)
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate amount of consideration, if any,
received by Company upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) would purchase at the
Original Adjustment Price.

(c) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares. For purposes
of determining the adjusted number of Warrant Shares under Section 7(b) hereof, the following shall
be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the
Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or
otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and
the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 7(c)(v)) for which
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than either of the
Original Prices in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options,
then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options
or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon
the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale
of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the
number of Warrant Shares under Section 7(b)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for
purposes of Section 7(b)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Company as
consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount
of additional consideration payable to Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in
the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the issuance or sale of all such
Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B)
the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options
or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all
such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the
number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible
Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

7

 

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If Company shall, at any time or from time
to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a
merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange
any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as
provided in this paragraph and in Section 7(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than either of the Original Prices in
effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then
the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the
total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the
date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be
outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of
Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 7(b)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for
purposes of Section 7(b)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Company as
consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 7(c)(iii), (A) no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares
shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities and (B) no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made
by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase
any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the number of Warrant Shares have been
made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 7(c).

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of
(A) the total amount received or receivable by Company as consideration for the granting or sale of
any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof,
(B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the
exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities
referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible
Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof are convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in
connection with any Options referred to in Section 7(c)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities
referred to in Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such
Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares
pursuant to this Section 7) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at
the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the number of Warrant
Shares which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7
had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed
consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment, the
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is increased.

(iv) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the
expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or
unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its
original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 7 (including
without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such
Option or Convertible Security by Company), the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 to
the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or
termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged
Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such
expiration or termination, never been issued, provided that this Section 7(c)(iv) will not apply to
the extent the Warrant is exercised.

 

8

 

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If Company shall, at any time or from time
to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with
Section 7(c), any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the
consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by Company therefor;
(B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration
other than cash received by Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except
where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of
consideration received by Company shall be the Per Share Market Value for such securities as of the
end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated
consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to
be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by Company in such
transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities,
as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in
connection with any merger in which Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of
consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and
business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash
consideration shall be the dollar amount thereof and the fair value of any consideration other than
cash or marketable securities shall be determined by an Independent Appraiser.

(vi) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares in
accordance with this Section 7, in case Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the
issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration
of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right
of subscription or purchase, as the case may be, provided such distribution is actually made.

(vii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given
time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of Company or any of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or
retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries)
shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 7.

(viii) Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section
7(c), if Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or
fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend
or any other distribution payable in securities of Company (other than a dividend or distribution
of shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of
Common Stock), cash or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so
that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant, in addition to the number of Warrant
Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of Company, cash or other property
which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into
Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the
date of such event to and including the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined), retained such
securities, cash or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving
application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 7 with respect to
the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives,
simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other
distribution of such securities, cash or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such
securities, cash or other property as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been
exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.

 

9

 

(d) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of
Common Stock. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, (i) pay
a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of
Company payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii)
subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be
proportionately increased. If Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or
otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall
be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 7(d) shall become effective at the
close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(e) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification,
Consolidation or Merger. Subject to Section 2(a), in the event of any (i) capital
reorganization of Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of Company (other than a change in
par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a
stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of
Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of Company’s assets to
another Person, (v) transaction constituting a Fundamental Change or (v) other similar transaction
(other than any such transaction covered by Section 7(d)), in each case which entitles the holders
of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or
assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain
outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of
Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of
shares of stock or other securities or assets of Company or of the successor Person resulting from
such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised
this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant
Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any
limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate
adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the
Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 7 hereof shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of
stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the event of a
Fundamental Change, following which the Warrants would cease to represent the right to acquire
securities, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to the terms hereof. The provisions of this
Section 7(e) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. Company shall not effect any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior
to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than Company) resulting from such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume,
by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory
to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets
which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Warrant
is exercisable in accordance with Section 2 hereof with respect to any corporate event or other
transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7(e), the Holder shall have the right to
elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise
rights contained in Section 3 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this
Section 7(e) with respect to this Warrant.

 

10

 

(f) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this
Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the
granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features)
occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner
consistent with the provisions of this Section 7; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to
this Section 7(f) shall decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined
pursuant to this Section 7.

8. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the kind or number of securities issuable under
this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Company shall prepare a certificate
signed by an officer of Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and
number or kind of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by certified or registered
mail, return receipt required, postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days of such adjustment to
Holder as set forth in Section 20 hereof.

9. Financial and Other Reports. From time to time up to the earlier of the Expiration
Date or the complete exercise of this Warrant, Company shall furnish to Holder, if Company is a
private company, (a) unaudited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets,
statements of operations and cash flow statements within 30 days of each fiscal month of each
fiscal year, certified by Company’s president or chief financial officer, and (b) Company’s
complete annual audited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of
operations and cash flow statements certified by an independent certified public accountant
selected by Company within 120 days of the fiscal year end or, if sooner, promptly following such
time as Company’s Board of Directors receives the audit. If Company is a publicly held company, it
shall deliver to Holder quarterly unaudited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance
sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements and annual audited consolidated and, if
available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements,
certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants, within 5 days after the statements
are required to be provided to the SEC. All such statements are to be prepared using GAAP and, if
Company is a publicly held company, are to be in compliance with SEC requirements. At the time of
Company’s delivery of quarterly financial statements in accordance with this Section 9, Company
shall also deliver to Holder an updated capitalization table of Company in the form attached hereto
as Annex A. For so long as Company is a privately held company, Holder agrees to hold in
confidence and trust and not to improperly use or disclose any information provided to or learned
by Holder in connection with its rights under this Section 9 regarding the business as conducted by
Company as of today’s date on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 11.8 of the
Credit Agreement.

10. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant is transferable on the books of Company
at its principal office by the registered Holder upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed,
subject to compliance with Section 6 and applicable federal and state securities laws. Company
shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new Warrant representing the Warrant so transferred.
Upon any partial transfer, Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to
the Warrant not so transferred. Holder shall not have any right to transfer any portion of this
Warrant to any direct competitor of Company or to any significant shareholder or any direct or
indirect subsidiary of any such direct competitor of the Company which is known or should be
known as such to the Holder.

 

11

 

11. Registration Rights. Company grants registration rights to Holder of this Warrant
for any Common Stock of Company obtained by Holder upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant,
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of April 15, 2011 between Grubb & Ellis
Company CDCF II GNE Holding, LLC and CFI GNE Warrant Investor, LLC and subject to pro rata
limitations on the number of securities which can be included in a registration among other persons
who have the right to register securities pursuant to “piggyback” rights afforded to such persons.

12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional share of Common Stock will be issued in
connection with any exercise or conversion hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional share Company
shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect.

13. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder for any
United States or state of the United States documentary stamp tax or other incidental expense with
respect to the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by
Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of Holder.

14. No Shareholder Rights Until Exercise; Additional Rights. Except as expressly
provided herein, this Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a
shareholder of Company prior to the exercise hereof. Company agrees that if it shall at any time
in any manner grant to or confer upon any other holder of a warrant any right or benefit that has
the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting the holder of any such warrant, in their
capacity as holder of such warrant, in a manner more favorable than the rights and benefits
established in favor of the Holder (“Additional Rights”) then, in each case, the Holder shall
automatically and without further action on behalf of Holder or Company receive substantially the
same rights and benefits as the Additional Rights afforded to such other holder of a warrant.

15. Registry of Warrant. Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and
address of the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or
exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of Company, and Company and Holder
shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such
registry.

16. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
it, and, if mutilated, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, Company will execute and
deliver a new Warrant, having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant, in lieu
hereof.

17. Definitions. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms have the following
meanings:

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person.
For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any specified Person means

2.1 Guarantee. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their
respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
of the Borrower Obligations.

(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum
liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event
exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state
laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution
established in Section 2.2).

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time
exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee
contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender hereunder.

(d) Subject to Section 8.15 hereof, the guarantee contained in this Section 2
shall remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of
each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 (in each case, other than
indemnification and other contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made) shall have
been satisfied by payment in full and all Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that
from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any
Borrower Obligations.

 

5

 

(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any
other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the
Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability
of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment
made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected
from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower
Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations
(other than indemnification obligations and other contingent obligations as to which no claim has
been made) are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.

2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than
its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and
receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to
the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect
limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full
amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application
of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled
to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the
Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any
Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any
other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are
paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have
been paid in full,
such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor
(duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against
the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent
may determine.

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any
Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the
Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person
upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset
with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended,
modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender (with the consent of each Guarantor to the extent expressly required by the applicable
Loan Documents), and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all
Lenders, as the case may be) may (with the consent of each such Guarantor as shall be expressly
required thereunder) deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the
Borrower Obligations may (with the consent of each Guarantor as shall be expressly required by the
applicable Loan Documents) be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure
any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee
contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of
any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained
in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have
been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand,
likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest,
demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the
Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that
the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other
collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or
from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or
counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to
or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or
such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee
contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand
hereunder or otherwise
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or
any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue
such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any
such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or
guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall
not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect
the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any
Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative
Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the Funding Office.

to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Requirements of Law of a
Governmental Authority, requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to
such Requirement of Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in
the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any lease, contract, license,
agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property or, in the case
of any Investment Property, Pledged Stock or Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder,
joint-venture, or similar agreement, except to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term

4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on
the Collateral by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and
clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No financing statement with respect to all or any
part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed
in favor of the Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or as are
permitted by the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that

Property owned or developed by a Grantor.

filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other
documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in
completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the
Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as
collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof
against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from
such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof
except for Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement which have priority over the Liens on the
Collateral by operation of law.

4.3 Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, such Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, type of organization,
identification number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any), and the location of such
Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business or principal residence, as the case may
be, are specified on Schedule 4.

Grantor, or, in the case of Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock, if less, 65% of the total outstanding
Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock of each relevant Issuer.

 

9

 

(b) All the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid
and nonassessable.

(c) To each Grantor’s best knowledge, each of the Pledged Notes constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general
equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to,
the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of,
or claims
of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement. No
shareholders’ agreement restricting any Grantor’s pledge hereunder, including, without limitation,
the Henry S. Miller Co. Shareholders’ Agreement referenced in the stock certificate of HSM Inc., a
Texas corporation, listed on Schedule 2, related to the Investment Property is in effect.

4.7 Receivables. (a) No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Receivable is
evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the Administrative
Agent to the extent required hereby.

(b) Except as the Administrative Agent shall have been otherwise promptly notified in writing
by the Grantors, none of the obligors on any Eligible Receivables is a Governmental Authority
except for Receivables constituting not more than 5% of the face amount of all Eligible Receivables
of the Grantors, collectively.

(c) The amounts represented by such Grantor to the Lenders from time to time as owing to such
Grantor in respect of the Receivables will at such times be accurate.

4.8 Accounts and Chattel Paper.

(a) The names of the obligors, amounts owing, due dates and other information with respect to
its Accounts and Chattel Paper are and will be correctly stated in all records of such Grantor
relating thereto and in all invoices and Collateral Reports with respect thereto furnished to the
Administrative Agent by such Grantor from time to time. As of the time when each Account or each
item of Chattel Paper arises, such Grantor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that
such Account or Chattel Paper, as the case may be, and all records relating thereto, are genuine
and in all respects what they purport to be.

(b) With respect to its Accounts, except as specifically disclosed on the most recent
Collateral Report, (i) all Accounts are Eligible Receivables; (ii) all Accounts represent bona fide
sales of Inventory or rendering of services to Account Debtors in the ordinary course of such
Grantor’s business and are not evidenced by a judgment, Instrument or Chattel Paper; (iii) to such
Grantor’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which in any way impair the validity
or enforceability thereof or could reasonably be expected to reduce the amount payable thereunder
as shown on such Grantor’s books and records and any invoices, statements and Collateral Reports
with respect thereto; (iv) such Grantor has not received any notice of proceedings or actions which
are threatened or pending against any Account Debtor which might result in any adverse change in

10

invoices, statements and Collateral Reports with respect thereto are actually and absolutely owing
to such Grantor as indicated thereon and are not in any way contingent; and (ii) to such Grantor’s
knowledge, all Account Debtors have the capacity to contract.

4.9 Intellectual Property. (a) Schedule 6 sets forth a true and complete list of all Intellectual Property
owned by such Grantor (other than proprietary “shrink-wrap” intellectual property licenses) on the
date hereof.

(b) On the date hereof, all material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is valid,
subsisting, unexpired and enforceable, has not been abandoned, does not infringe the intellectual
property rights of any other Person and such Grantor has performed all acts and has paid all
renewal, maintenance, and other fees and taxes required to maintain each and every registration and
application of material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor in full force and effect.

(c) Such Grantor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire right, title, and interest in
and to all Intellectual Property listed in Schedule 6, such Intellectual Property is
standing in the name of such Grantor, and such Grantor owns or has the valid right to use all
Intellectual Property used in or necessary to conduct its business, free and clear of all Liens,
claims, encumbrances and licenses, except for the licenses set forth in Schedule 6. Such
Grantor has not made a previous assignment, sale, transfer or agreement constituting a present or
future assignment, sale, transfer or agreement of any Intellectual Property that has not been
terminated or released. There is no effective financing statement or other document or instrument
now executed, or on file or recorded in any public office, granting a security interest in or
otherwise encumbering any part of the Intellectual Property, other than in favor of the
Administrative Agent.

(d) No holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority which
would limit, cancel or question the validity of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any material
Intellectual Property.

(e) No action or proceeding is pending, or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened, on
the date hereof (i) seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any material Intellectual
Property or such Grantor’s ownership interest therein, or (ii) which, if adversely determined,
would materially adversely effect the value of any material Intellectual Property.

(f) To the best of each Grantor’s knowledge, no third party is infringing upon or otherwise
violating any rights in any material Intellectual Property owned or used by such Grantor, or any of
its respective licensees.

(g) No settlement or consents, covenants not to sue, nonassertion assurances, or releases
have been entered into by such Grantor or bind such Grantor which adversely affect such Grantor’s
rights to own or use any material Intellectual Property.

against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such charge need be paid if the amount or
validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in
conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Grantor and such

the Administrative Agent concurrently with the issuance thereof to be held by the Administrative
Agent as Collateral, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a
transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist
any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment
Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by

into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the
Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof
except as is permitted by the Credit Agreement.

5.9 Intellectual Property. (a) Such Grantor (either itself or through its licensees) will (i) continue to use each
material Trademark on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as
reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to maintain such Trademark in
full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, (ii) maintain as in the past the quality
of products and services offered under such Trademark and take all commercially reasonable steps
necessary to insure that licensees of such Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality,
(iii) use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and
legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, (iv) not adopt or use any mark which is
confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the Administrative Agent, for

Copyright and (ii) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act
or omit to do any act whereby any material portion of the material Copyrights may become
invalidated or otherwise impaired. Such Grantor will not (either itself or through its licensees)

(d) Such Grantor (either itself or through its licensees) will not do any act that infringes
the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

(e) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders immediately if it knows,
or has reason to know, that any material Intellectual Property may become forfeited, abandoned,
invalid, unenforceable, dedicated to the public, or placed in the public domain or of any adverse
determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such
determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such
Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s
right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

(f) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or
designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office
or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such
filing in the manner set forth in Section 6.2(a) of the Credit Agreement. Upon request of the
Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all
agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence
the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark
and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby,
provided that no Grantor shall be required to place any Trade Secret or other confidential
information in the public domain to the extent such action would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation,
in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof,
to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain
each registration of material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor (including, but not
limited to, those items listed in Schedule 6), including, without limitation, filing of
applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.

 

15

such Grantor is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i)
promptly notify the Administrative Agent after it learns thereof, and (ii) if such Intellectual
Property is of material economic value, take all reasonable actions to stop such infringement,
misappropriation, or dilution and protect its rights in such Intellectual Property, including, but
not limited to, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any
and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

5.10 Accounts. (a) Each Grantor shall enter into and cause the applicable Bank to enter into a Deposit Account
Control Agreement with the Administrative Agent with respect to each Deposit Account listed on
Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate no later than the times set forth in Schedule 6.11 to the
Credit Agreement. With respect to any Deposit Account (excluding Deposit Accounts in which, taken
as a whole, deposits to all such Deposit Accounts do not exceed in the aggregate at any one time,
$50,000) established after the Closing Date, within 30 days after the establishment thereof (or
such longer period as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion),
Grantor shall have duly executed and delivered a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to
such Deposit Account. The Administrative Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Administrative
Agent shall not give any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited

continuing. No Grantor shall grant Control of any Deposit Account to any Person other than the

Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts established after the Closing Date, within 30 days after
the establishment thereof (or such longer period as may be determined by the Administrative Agent
in its sole discretion), Grantor shall have duly executed and delivered a Control Agreement with
respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account, as the case may be. The Administrative
Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Administrative Agent shall not give any Entitlement Orders
or instructions or directions to any issuer of uncertificated securities, Securities Intermediary
or Commodity Intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or
dealing rights by such Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after
giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. No Grantor shall grant
Control over any Investment Property to any Person other than the Administrative Agent.

5.11 Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, such Grantor shall
promptly (and in any event, within 30 days) notify the Administrative Agent in writing signed by
such Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent in such writing a
security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, with such writing to be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The requirement in the preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the amount of such Commercial Tort Claim, together with

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, as provided in the Credit Agreement
and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make
test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably
considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the
Administrative Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from
time to time, upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor,
such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging
and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

(b) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s
Receivables, subject to the Administrative Agent’s direction and control, and the Administrative
Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when
collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days)
deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and
control of the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be
held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other
funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a
report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the
deposit.

6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors
under the Receivables to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence,
amount and terms of any Receivables.

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that
the Receivables have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative
Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and
performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any
Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or
the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall
the Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations
of any Grantor under or
pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to
make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the
sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any
action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3 Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall
be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments
made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the
relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement,
and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the
Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other
organizational right exercised or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agent’s
reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in
any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

17

 

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall
have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of
the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as the
Administrative Agent may determine, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be
registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or
its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such
Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise
and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights,
privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner
thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the
Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the
exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to
such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all
of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other
designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all
without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative
Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall
not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property
pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the
Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other
or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully
protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends
or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Administrative Agent.

6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specified in Section
6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be
held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other
funds of such
Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the
Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to
the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its
sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral
Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) shall continue
to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof
until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

 

18

 

6.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or,
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative
Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting
Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set
forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order:

First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent
under the Loan Documents;

Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of
amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro
rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then due
and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of
the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts
of the Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and

Fourth, any balance remaining after the Obligations (other than indemnification
obligations and such other contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made) shall
have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the
Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf
of the Lenders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other
applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent,
without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any
kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may
in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or
any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the
foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s
board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and
conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit
or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any
Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by
law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so
sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.
Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and
make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall
apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all
reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the
care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such
order specified in Section 6.5, and only after such application and after the payment by
the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the
surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives
all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender
arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or
other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable
and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

 

19

 

6.7 Investment Property. (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public
sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or
more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree,
among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public
sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no
obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit
the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts
as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant
to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained
in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach
and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be
specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to
assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a
defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

6.8 Subordination. Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, all Indebtedness owing by it to
any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of such Grantor’s Obligations.

6.9 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such
deficiency.

SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and
any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor
and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
instruments which may be necessary or reasonably desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the
Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by
such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and
indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment
of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or
take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys
due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

 

20

 

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any
and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to
evidence the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Intellectual
Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or
represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and
pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any
indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make
payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative
Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive
payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at
any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices,
freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against
debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the
Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in
any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding
brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust
any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or
releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or
Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or
Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in
such
manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8)
generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with
any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such
Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the
Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of
this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent
agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this
Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the
Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or
otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as
provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate
set forth in Section 2.7(b) of the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the
Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such
Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

 

21

 

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.

7.2 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of
their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any
other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to
protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually
receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.3 Filing of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or
record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to
the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the
Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative
Agent under this
Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description
“all assets of the debtor, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising”, “all
personal property of the debtor, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising” or
words of similar effect in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and
authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of any financing statement with respect to the
Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

7.4 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise
or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other
right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other
agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the
Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to
be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting,
and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such
authority.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor
hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement;
provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to
such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

 

22

 

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written
instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not
be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would
otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may
be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided
by law.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for
all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee
contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees
and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to
each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any
and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with
respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to
the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the
extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all
other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall
inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns;
provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

8.6 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender, at any
time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall
have the right, without notice to any Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each
Grantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by
any Grantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment
of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their
respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor. Each Lender
agrees promptly to notify the relevant Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such
application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such application.

 

23

 

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any
number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or electronic transmission), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.

8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are
not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and
there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to
herein or in the other Loan Documents.

8.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPALS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

8.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of any United States
Federal or New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of
which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.

 

24

 

8.13 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or
duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent
and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and
creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Grantors and the
Lenders.

8.14 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement
pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this
Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of
Annex 1 hereto.

8.15 Releases.

(a) At such time as the Loans and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full and the
Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby,
and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such
termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without
delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral
shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such
termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any
Grantor in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at
the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all
releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created
hereby on such Collateral; provided that the Grantors shall have delivered to the Administrative
Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for
release identifying the relevant Collateral and the terms of the sale or other disposition in
reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together
with a certification by the Grantors stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. At the request and sole expense of
the Grantors, a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the
event that all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement; provided that the
Grantors shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the
date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary
Guarantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price
thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Grantors
stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

 

25

 

(c) The circumstances expressly set forth in this Section 8.15, that give rise to an
obligation by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to release its security interest in the
applicable portion of the Collateral, are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the release
obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth under Section 10.15 of the Credit
Agreement.

8.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM
THEREIN.

ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT, dated as of [_____], 201[_], made by
 _____ 

(the

(in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the lenders from time to time parties to
the Credit Agreement referred to below (the “Lenders”). All capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in such Credit Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Grubb & Ellis Management Services, Inc. (the “Borrower”), Grubb & Ellis
Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of
April 15, 2011 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from

WHEREAS, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Borrower and certain of its Affiliates
(other than the Additional Grantor) have entered into the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated

modified from time to time, the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties;

WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement requires the Additional Grantor to become a party to the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Additional Grantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Assumption Agreement in

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

1. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. By executing and delivering this Assumption
Agreement, the Additional Grantor, as provided in Section 8.14 of the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, hereby becomes a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as a Grantor thereunder
with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, hereby expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a
Grantor thereunder. The information set forth in Annex 1-A hereto is hereby added to the
information set forth in the Schedules to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Additional
Grantor hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties contained in
Section 4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is true and correct in all material respects
(except that any representation and warranty that is qualified by or subject to “Material Adverse
Effect” or materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as the date hereof (after
giving effect to this Assumption Agreement) as if made on and as of such date.

 

 

 

2. Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, the Additional
Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing
or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such
Additional Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines
appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement. Any such financing statement may indicate the collateral as “all assets of
the debtor, whether
now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising”, “all personal property of the debtor,
whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising” or words of similar effect in any
such financing statements. The Additional Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the
Administrative Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the
date hereof.

3. Governing Law. THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
