under Section 12 of the Securities Act and if the Committee does not consist solely of

or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.

     In particular, the Administrator shall have the authority:

(2) to determine whether and to what extent Stock Options, Deferred Stock,
Restricted Stock or a combination of the foregoing, are to be granted to Eligible
Persons of the Company;

(3) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by each such Award;

(4) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the
Plan, of any such Award including, but not limited to, (i) the restricted period
applicable to Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock awards, (ii) the date or dates on
which restrictions applicable to such Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock shall lapse
during such period, and (iii) when and in what increments shares covered by Stock

restrictions set forth herein; and

(5) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the
Plan, which shall govern all written instruments evidencing the Stock Options,

     (c) The Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion, to adopt, alter and repeal
such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to
time deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under
the Plan (and any agreements relating thereto); and to otherwise supervise the administration of
the Plan.

3

 

     (d) All decisions made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be
final and binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants.

SECTION 3. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

     (a) The total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan
shall be 736,400 shares. Such shares shall consist of authorized but unissued shares.

     (b) To the extent that (i) a Stock Option expires or is otherwise terminated without being
exercised or (ii) any shares of Stock subject to any Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock award
granted hereunder are forfeited, such shares shall again be available for issuance in connection
with future Awards under the Plan. If any shares of Stock have been pledged as collateral for
indebtedness incurred by a Participant in connection with the exercise of a Stock Option and such
shares are returned to the Company in satisfaction of such indebtedness, such shares shall again be
available for issuance in connection with future Awards under the Plan. If the exercise price of
any Stock Option award, or the withholding obligation arising from a Stock Option granted under the
Plan is satisfied by tendering shares of Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery of by
attestation), only the number of shares of Stock issued, not of the shares of Stock tendered, shall
be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for
delivery under the Plan.

     (c) In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other change in corporate structure affecting the
Stock, an appropriate substitution or adjustment shall be made in (i) the aggregate number of
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, and (ii) the kind, number and option price of shares
subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator, in
its sole discretion, provided that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a
whole number. Such other substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that with respect to Incentive Stock
Options, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424 of the Code.

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY.

     Officers, employees and directors of, and consultants and advisors providing services to, the
Company shall be eligible to be granted Non-Qualified Stock Options, Deferred Stock or Restricted
Stock awards hereunder. Officers and other key employees of the Company shall also be eligible to
be granted Incentive Stock Options hereunder. The Participants under the Plan shall be selected
from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from among the Eligible Persons
recommended by the senior management of the Company, and the Administrator shall determine, in its
sole discretion, the number of shares covered by each Award.

SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS FOR ELIGIBLE PERSONS.

4

 

     (a) Stock Options may be granted to Eligible Persons alone or in addition to other Awards
granted under the Plan. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the
Administrator may from time to time approve, and the provisions of Stock Option awards need not be
the same with respect to each optionee. Recipients of Stock Options shall enter into a stock option
agreement with the Company, in such form as the Administrator shall determine, which agreement
shall set forth, among other things, the exercise price of the option, the term of the option and
provisions regarding exercisability of the option granted thereunder. The prospective recipient of
a Stock Option shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such
recipient has executed an agreement evidencing the Award (a “Stock Option Agreement” and has
delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty days (or such
other period as the Administrator may specify) after the Award date.

     The Stock Options granted under the Plan to Eligible Persons may be of two types: (x)
Incentive Stock Options and (y) Non-Qualified Stock Options.

     (b) The Administrator shall have the authority under this Section 5 to grant any optionee
Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options; provided,
however, that Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to any individual who is not an employee
of the Company. To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option,
it shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option. More than one option may be granted to
the same optionee and be outstanding concurrently hereunder.

     (c) Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan, as the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, deem desirable:

(i) Option Price. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under an Incentive
Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, at
the time of grant but shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
Stock on such date, and shall not, in any event, be less than the par value of the
Stock, if any. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Non-Qualified
Stock Option may be less than 100% of such Fair Market Value, but in no event less
than 85% of such Fair Market Value. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by
reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more
than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company and a
Stock Option is granted to such employee, the option price of such Stock Option (to
the extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no less than 110% of
the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Stock Option is granted.

(ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator,
but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such
Stock Option is granted; provided, however, that if an employee owns or is deemed to
own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10%
of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of

5

 

the Company and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the term of
such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent required by the Code at the time of
grant) shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.

(iii) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and
subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator at
or after grant; provided, however, that, except as provided herein or unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator at or after grant, Stock Options shall be
exercisable one year following the date of grant of the option. With respect to
Stock Options issued to non-officer employees of the Company, such Stock Options
shall vest at least 20% per year over the five-year period commencing from the date
of grant. To the extent not exercised, installments shall accumulate and be
exercisable in whole or in part at any time after becoming exercisable but not later
than the date the Stock Option expires. The Administrator may provide, in its
discretion, that any Stock Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the
Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time in whole or
in part based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole
discretion.

(iv) Method of Exercise. Subject to Subsection 5(c)(iii), Stock Options may be
exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period by giving written
notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased,
accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price in cash or its cash equivalent,
as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion,
accept payment in whole or in part on behalf of the Company (i) in the form of
unrestricted Stock already owned by the optionee, or, in the case of the exercise of
a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock subject to an Award hereunder (based,
in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Stock), (ii) by cancellation of any
indebtedness owed by the Company to the optionee, (iii) by a full recourse
promissory note executed by the optionee, (iv) by requesting that the Company
withhold whole shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Stock
Option (based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock), (v) by arrangement with a
broker which is acceptable to the Administrator where payment of the option price is
made pursuant to an irrevocable direction to the broker to deliver all or part of
the proceeds from the sale of the shares underlying the option to the Company, or
(vi) by any combination of the foregoing; provided, however, that in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, the right to make payment in the form of
already owned shares may be authorized only at the time of grant. Any payment in the form of stock
already owned by the optionee may be effected by use of an attestation form approved
by the Administrator. If payment of the option exercise price of a Non-Qualified
Stock Option is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock, the shares
received upon the exercise of such Stock Option (to the extent of the number of
shares of Restricted Stock surrendered upon exercise of such Stock Option) shall be
restricted in accordance with the original terms of the Restricted Stock award in
question, except that the Administrator may direct that such restrictions shall
apply only to that number of

6

 

shares equal to the number of shares surrendered upon the exercise of such option.
An optionee shall generally have the rights to dividends and other rights of a
stockholder with respect to shares subject to the option only after the optionee has
given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares, and, if
requested, has given the representation described in paragraph (a) of Section 10.

     (d) The Administrator may require the voluntary surrender of all or a portion of any Stock
Option granted under the Plan as a condition precedent to a grant of a new Stock Option. Subject to
the provisions of the Plan, such new Stock Option shall be exercisable at the price, during such
period and on such other terms and conditions as are specified by the Administrator at the time the
new Stock Option is granted; provided, however, that should the Administrator so require, the
number of shares subject to such new Stock Option shall not be greater than the number of shares
subject to the surrendered Stock Option. Upon their surrender, the Stock Options shall be canceled
and the shares previously subject to such canceled Stock Options shall again be available for
grants of Stock Options and other Awards hereunder.

     (e) The Company may make loans available to Stock Option holders in connection with the
exercise of outstanding options granted under the Plan, as the Administrator, in its discretion,
may determine. Such loans shall (i) be evidenced by promissory notes entered into by the Stock
Option holders in favor of the Company, (ii) be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this paragraph and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the
Administrator shall determine, (iii) bear interest, if any, at such rate as the Administrator shall
determine and (iv) be subject to Board approval. In no event may the principal amount of any such
loan exceed the sum of (x) the exercise price less the par value of the shares of Stock covered by
the option, or portion thereof, exercised by the holder and (y) any Federal, state, and local
income tax attributable to such exercise. The initial term of the loan, the schedule of payments of
principal and interest under the loan, the extent to which the loan is to be with or without
recourse against the holder with respect to principal or interest and the conditions upon which the
loan will become payable in the event of the holder’s termination of employment shall be determined
by the Administrator; provided, however, that the term of the loan, including extensions, shall not
exceed seven (7) years. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, when a loan is made, shares
of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value at least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall
be pledged by the holder to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid balance of the loan,
and such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement, the terms of which shall be determined by
the Administrator, in its discretion; provided, however, that each loan shall comply with all
applicable laws, regulations and rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and
any other governmental agency having jurisdiction.

     (f) No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. Incentive Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the
optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee.

     (g) If an optionee’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death or Disability,
the Stock Option may thereafter be immediately exercised, to the extent then exercisable (or on
such accelerated basis as the Administrator shall determine at or after grant),

7

 

by the legal representative of the optionee, by the legal representative of the estate of the
optionee, or by the legatee of the optionee under the will of the optionee, for a period of at
least six (6) months from the date of such death or Disability. In the event of a termination of
employment by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration
of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option shall
thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

     (h) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph or otherwise determined by the
Administrator, if an optionee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than
death or Disability (except for termination for cause as defined by applicable law), the optionee
must exercise his or her Stock Options, to the extent then exercisable (or on such accelerated
basis as the Administrator shall determine at or after grant), within thirty (30) days from the
date of such termination. If the optionee does not exercise his or her Stock Options within this
thirty (30) day period, the Stock Options automatically terminate, and such Stock Options become
null and void.

     (i) If the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Incentive Stock Option
is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to an
optionee under this Plan and all other plans of the Company become exercisable for the first time
by the optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, then such Stock Options shall be treated
as Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent such exceeds $100,000.

SECTION 6. DEFERRED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK.

     (a) Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock awards may be issued to Eligible Persons either alone
or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the
Eligible Persons, and the time or times at which grants of Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock
awards shall be made; the number of shares to be awarded; the price to be paid by the recipient of
Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock awards; the Restricted Period (as defined in paragraph 6(c)
hereof) applicable to Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock awards; the performance objectives
applicable to Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock awards; the date or dates on which restrictions
applicable to such Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock awards shall lapse during such Restricted
Period; and all other conditions of the Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock awards. The purchase
price of any Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock award must be at least 85% of the Fair Market Value
of the Stock at the time the Participant is granted the right to purchase shares under the Plan, or
at the time the purchase is consummated. If a Participant owns or is deemed to own (by reason of
the attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined
voting power of all classes of Stock of the Company, than the purchase price of the Deferred Stock
or Restricted Stock award must be 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock either at the time the
Participant is granted the right to purchase shares under the Plan, or at the time the purchase is
consummated. The Administrator may also condition the grant of Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock
awards upon the exercise of Stock Options, or upon such other criteria as the Administrator may
determine, in its sole discretion. The provisions of Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock awards need
not be the same with respect to each recipient.

8

 

     (b) The prospective recipient of a Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock award shall not have any
rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has executed an agreement
evidencing the Award (a “Deferred Stock Award Agreement” or “Restricted Stock Award Agreement” as
appropriate) and has delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of
sixty days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the Award date.

     Except as provided below in this paragraph (b) of Section 6, (i) each Participant who is
awarded Restricted Stock shall be issued a stock certificate in respect of such shares of
Restricted Stock; and (ii) such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant, and
shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to
such Award, substantially in the following form:

     “The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are
subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the TMSF REIT, Inc. 2006 Stock
Option, Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock Plan and a Restricted Stock Award Agreement entered
into between the registered owner and TMSF REIT, Inc. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file
in the offices of TMSF REIT, Inc.”

     The Company shall require that the stock certificates evidencing such shares be held in the
custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and, as a condition of any
Restricted Stock award, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank,
relating to the Stock covered by such Award.

     With respect to Deferred Stock awards, at the expiration of the Restricted Period, stock
certificates in respect of such shares of Deferred Stock shall be delivered to the Participant, or
his legal representative, in a number equal to the shares of Stock covered by the Deferred Stock
award.

     (c) The Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock awards granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be
subject to the following restrictions and conditions:

(i) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock
Award Agreements, during such period as may be set by the Administrator commencing
on the grant date (the “Restricted Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted
to sell, transfer, pledge or assign shares of Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock
awarded under the Plan other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Within these limits, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the
lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such
restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the
Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to,
the attainment of certain performance related goals, the Participant’s termination,
death or Disability or the occurrence of a “Change of Control” as defined in Section
9 below.

9

 

(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(i) of this Section 6, the Participant shall
have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of he rights of a
stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares, and the right to
receive any dividends thereon during the Restricted Period. With respect to Deferred
Stock awards, the Participant shall generally not have the rights of a stockholder
of the Company, including the right to vote the shares during the Restricted Period;
provided, however, that dividends declared during the Restricted Period with respect
to the number of shares covered by a Deferred Stock award shall be paid to the
Participant. Certificates for shares of unrestricted Stock shall be delivered to the
Participant promptly after, and only after, the Restricted Period shall expire
without forfeiture in respect of such shares of Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock,
except as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine.

(iii) Subject to the provisions of the Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock Award
Agreement and this Section 6, upon termination of employment for any reason during
the Restricted Period, all shares subject to any restriction as of the date of such
termination shall be forfeited by the Participant, and the Participant shall only
receive the amount, if any, paid by the Participant for such Deferred Stock or
Restricted Stock, plus simple interest on such amount at the rate of 6% per year.

SECTION 7. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

     (a) The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or
discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of the Participant under any Award
theretofore granted without such Participant’s consent, or that without the approval of the
stockholders (as described below) would:

(i) except as provided in Section 3, increase the total number of shares of Stock
reserved for the purpose of the Plan;

(ii) change the employees or class of employees eligible to participate in the Plan;

(iii) extend the maximum option period under Section 5 of the Plan.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholder approval under this Section 7 shall only be
required at such time and under such circumstances as stockholder approval would be required under
applicable federal and state laws, regulations and exchange or listing requirements.

     (c) The Administrator may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or
retroactively, but, subject to Section 3, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any holder
without his or her consent.

10

 

SECTION 8. UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN.

     The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect
to any payments not yet made to a Participant or optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein
shall give any such Participant or optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general
creditor of the Company.

SECTION 9. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

     The following acceleration and valuation provisions shall apply in the event of a “Change of
Control”, as defined in paragraph (b) of this Section 9:

     (a) In the event of a “Change of Control,” (but prior to such Change of Control, as
applicable) the Board may, without limitation and in its sole and absolute discretion, do any, or
any combination, of the following:

(i) declare that the restrictions applicable to any Restricted Stock or Deferred
Stock awards under the Plan shall lapse in full or in part, and that such shares and
Awards shall be deemed fully or partially vested;

(ii) declare that some or all indebtedness incurred pursuant to paragraph (e) of
Section 5 above shall be forgiven and the collateral pledged in connection with any
such loan shall be released in full or in part;

(iii) declare that the value of all or some of the outstanding Awards shall, to the
extent determined by the Administrator at or after grant, be cashed out by a payment
of cash or other property, as the Administrator may determine, on the basis of the
“Change of Control Price” (as defined in paragraph (c) of this Section 9) as of the
date the Change of Control occurs or such other date as the Administrator may
determine prior to the Change of Control; or

(iv) permit the successor corporation (in the event of a Change of Control pursuant
to subparagraph (b)(ii) of this Section 9), pursuant to a written agreement signed
by the parties, to substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar
consideration to Participants as was or will be provided to stockholders after
making any appropriate adjustment as such parties deem necessary or appropriate for
restrictions attaching to such Awards, including, but not limited to, vesting and
exercise price.

A Participant’s individual Award may, but is not required to, provide what occurs
upon a Change of Control. To the extent a Participant’s individual Award determines
what occurs upon a Change of Control, the terms of such Award shall be dispositive
in the event of a Change of Control.

     (b) For purposes of paragraph (a) of this Section 9, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to
have occurred if:

11

 

(i) any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act (other than the Company; any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company; or any company owned, directly or
indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership of the Stock of the Company) is or becomes after the Effective
Date the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the
securities beneficially owned by such person or any securities acquired directly
from the Company or its affiliates) representing 50% or more of the combined voting
power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

(ii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other corporation, other than (A) a merger or consolidation which
would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), in combination with the
ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of the Company, at least 75% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement
a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person
acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding securities; or

(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the
Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets.

     (c) For purposes of this Section 9, “Change of Control Price” means the higher of (i) the
highest price per share paid or offered in any transaction related to a Change of Control of the
Company or (ii) the highest price per share paid in any transaction reported on the exchange or
national market system on which the Stock is listed, at any time during the preceding sixty day
period as determined by the Administrator, except that, in the case of Incentive Stock Options,
such price shall be based only on transactions reported for the date on which the Administrator
decides to cash out such options.

SECTION 10. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     (a) The Administrator may require each person granted Awards to represent to and agree with
the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution
thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Administrator deems
appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

     All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such
stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the
rules,

12

 

regulations, and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange or national market
system upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and
the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make
appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     (b) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

     (c) Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first
becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes, pay to
the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any
Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the
Award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such
payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to
deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

     (d) No member of the Board or the Administrator, nor any officer or employee of the Company
acting on behalf of the Board or the Administrator, shall be personally liable for any action,
determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all
members of the Board or the Administrator and each and any officer or employee of the Company
acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by
the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation.

     (e) This Plan is purely voluntary on the part of the Company, and while the Company hopes to
continue it indefinitely, the continuance of the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract
between the Company and any employee or other person, or to be consideration for or a condition of
the employment of any employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any employee
the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, to interfere with the right of the Company
to discharge or retire any employee thereof at any time. No employee shall have any right to or
interest in Awards authorized hereunder prior to the grant of such Awards to such employee, and
upon such grant he or she shall have only such rights and interests as are expressly provided
herein, subject, however, to all applicable provisions of the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time.

SECTION 11. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

     The Stock Options granted under this Plan and the Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of
such Stock Options cannot be readily purchased or sold in the open market, and, for that reason
among others, the Company and its stockholders will be irreparably damaged in the event that this
Plan is not specifically enforced. In the event of any controversy concerning the right or
obligation to purchase or sell any such Stock Option, such right or obligation shall be enforceable
in a court of equity by a decree of a specific performance. Such remedy shall, however, be
cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedy which the parties may
have.

13

 

SECTION 12. INVALID PROVISION.

     In the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable
under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed as rendering
any other provisions contained herein invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions shall
be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid unenforceable provision was
not contained herein.

SECTION 13. APPLICABLE LAW.

     This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Maryland.

SECTION 14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

     This Plan shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the employees to
whom an Award is granted hereunder, and such employees’ heirs, executors, administrators, legatees,
personal representatives, assignees and transferees.

SECTION 15. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

     The
Plan became effective (the “Effective Date”) on
January 24, 2006.

SECTION 16. TERM OF PLAN.

     No Stock Option, Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock award shall be granted pursuant to the
Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may
extend beyond that date.

14

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to the due authorization and adoption of this Plan by the Board
on the day and year first above written, the Company has caused this Plan to be duly executed by
its duly authorized officer.

(EMPLOYEE)

NAME: ___________________

     This
AGREEMENT is made effective as of
the        day
of                                        ,                      (the “Option Grant

(the “Optionee”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Stock Option, Deferred Stock and
Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”) as of                                         , 2006, which was approved by the Company’s
stockholders as of                                         , 2006, and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of said Plan, the Administrator has granted to the
Participant (as defined in the Plan) by action duly taken on                                         , 200   , (the “Award Date”) a
stock option award (the “Stock Option Award”) based upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant
and the mutual promises and covenants made herein, the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

     1. The Option(s). The Optionee may, at his/her option, purchase all or any part of an
aggregate of
                                         shares of Common Stock (the “Optioned Shares”), at the price of $                                        
per share (the “Option Price”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     2. Option Type; Exercise Dates and Exercise. Options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock
Options are designated by an “ISO” under the category “Type.” Options intended as separate
Non-Qualified Stock Options are designated by a “NQSO” under the category “Type.” The Option(s)
shall be exercisable as to the specified number of Optioned Shares on and after the “First” dates
and on or before the “Last” dates set forth below:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Type
	 	Number of Shares
	 	First and Last Date

 
 

     Optionee acknowledges that he/she understands he/she has no right whatsoever to exercise the
Option(s) granted hereunder with respect to any Optioned Shares covered by any installment until
such installment accrues

-1-

 

(and is thus vested) as provided above. Optionee further understands that the Option(s) granted
hereunder shall expire and become unexercisable as provided in Section 4(c) below.

3. Method of Exercise. This Option shall be deemed exercised as to the shares to be
purchased when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company at its principal
business office by the Optionee with respect to the Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall
be accompanied by full payment in cash or cash equivalents as determined by the Administrator. As
determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, payment in whole or part may also be made
(i) in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the Optionee, or, in the case of the
exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock subject to an Award hereunder (based, in
each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Stock), (ii) by cancellation of any indebtedness owed by
the Company to the Optionee, (iii) by a full recourse promissory note executed by the Optionee,
(iv) by requesting that the Company withhold whole shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
exercise of the Stock Option (based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock), (v) by arrangement with
a broker which is acceptable to the Administrator where payment of the option price is made
pursuant to an irrevocable direction to the broker to deliver all or part of the proceeds from the
sale of the shares underlying the option to the Company, or (vi) by any combination of the
foregoing; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make
payment in the form of already owned shares may be authorized only at the time of grant. Any
payment in the form of Stock already owned by the Optionee may be effected by use of an attestation
form approved by the Administrator. If payment of the option exercise price of a NQSO is made in
whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock, the shares received upon the
exercise of such Option (to the extent of the number of shares of Restricted Stock or Deferred
Stock surrendered upon exercise of such Option) shall be restricted in accordance with the original
terms of the Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock award in question, except that the Administrator
may direct that such restrictions shall apply only to that number of shares surrendered upon the
exercise of such Option.

4. Governing Plan. This Agreement hereby incorporates by reference the Plan and all of the
terms and conditions of the Plan as heretofore amended and as the same may be amended from time to
time hereafter in accordance with the terms thereof, but no such subsequent amendment shall
adversely affect the Optionee’s rights under this Agreement and the Plan except as may be required
by applicable law. The Optionee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this
Agreement are subject to the Plan; the terms of this Agreement shall in no manner limit or modify
the controlling provisions of the Plan, and in case of any conflict between the provisions of the
Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling and binding upon the
parties hereto. The Optionee also hereby expressly acknowledges, represents and agrees as follows:

(a) Acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and by
reference incorporated herein, and represents that he/she is familiar with the terms and
provisions of said Plan, and hereby accepts this Agreement subject to all the terms and
provisions of said Plan.

(b) Agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of
the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan.

(c) Acknowledges that he/she is familiar with Sections of the Plan regarding the exercise of
the Option(s) and represents that he/she understands that said Option(s) must be exercised
on or before the “Last” exercise date noted above in Section 2 or such other date as set
forth in the Plan, whichever is earlier.

(d) Acknowledges, understands and agrees that the existence of the Plan and the execution of
this Agreement are not sufficient by themselves to cause any exercise of any Option(s)
granted as an Incentive Stock Option to qualify for favorable tax treatment through the
application of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code; that Optionee must, in order to so
qualify, individually meet by his own action all applicable requirements of Section 422,
including without limitation the following holding period and employment requirements:

-2-

 

(1) holding period requirement: no disposition of an Optioned Share may be
made by Optionee within two (2) years from the date of the granting of the Option(s)
nor within one (1) year after the transfer of such Optioned Share to him/her, and

(2) employment requirement: at all times during the period beginning on the
date of the granting of the Option(s) and ending on the day three (3) months before
the date of exercise, the Optionee must have been an employee of the Company, its
Parent, or a Subsidiary of the Company, or a corporation or a parent or subsidiary
of such corporation issuing or assuming the Option(s) in a transaction to which
Section 425(a) of the Internal Revenue Code applies, except where the termination of
employment is by means of the employee’s disability, in which case said three (3)
month period may be extended to one (1) year, as provided under Internal Revenue
Code Section 422.

5. Representations and Warranties. Optionee hereby represents to the Company that each of
the Options evidenced hereby and the shares purchasable upon exercise thereof are being acquired
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such securities.

6. Options Not Transferable. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Incentive Stock Options shall be
exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee or, with respect to Non-Qualified
Stock Options, in accordance with the terms of a qualified domestic relations order.

7. No Enlargement of Employee Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
confer upon the Optionee (if an employee) any right to continued employment with the Company or to
restrict in any way the right of the Company to terminate his/her employment. Optionee acknowledges
that in the absence of an express written employment agreement to the contrary, the Company may
terminate Optionee’s employment with the Company at any time, with or without cause.

8. Withholding of Taxes. Optionee authorizes the Company to withhold, in accordance with
any applicable law, from any compensation payable to him any taxes required to be withheld by
federal, state or local law as a result of the grant of the Option(s) or the issuance of stock
pursuant to the exercise of such Option(s).

9. Laws Applicable to Construction. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

10. Agreement Binding on Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, heirs, successors, transferees and assignees of the Optionee.

11. Costs of Litigation. In any action at law or in equity to enforce any of the provisions
or rights under this Agreement or the Plan, the unsuccessful party to such litigation, as
determined by the court in a final judgment or decree, shall pay the successful party or parties
all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the successful party or parties
(including without limitation costs, expenses end fees on any appeals), and if the successful party
recovers judgment in any such action or proceeding such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees shall
be included as part of the judgment.

12. Necessary Acts. The Optionee agrees to perform all acts and execute and deliver any
documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including
but not limited to all acts and documents related to compliance with federal and/or state
securities laws.

13. Counterparts. For convenience this Agreement may be executed in any number of identical
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed a complete original in itself and may be introduced in
evidence or used for any other purpose without the production of any other counterparts.

-3-

 

14. Invalid Provisions. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be
invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein invalid or unenforceable,
and all such other provisions shall be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the
invalid and unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

15. Limitation on Value of Optioned Shares. Optionee acknowledges that the Plan provides
that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date hereof) of the shares of Common
Stock to which Options granted as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
Optionee during any calendar year under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and any
future Subsidiary shall not exceed $100,000. It is understood and agreed that should it be
determined that an Option if granted as an Incentive Stock Option hereunder would exceed such
maximum, such Option shall be considered granted as a Non-Qualified Stock Option to the extent, but
only to the extent of such excess. This limitation shall not apply to any option granted as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.
