CLOSING CERTIFICATE AND AGREEMENT

     This CLOSING CERTIFICATE AND AGREEMENT (this “Certificate”), dated as of December 14,
2006 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between BNP PARIBAS LEASING CORPORATION (“BNPPLC”), a
Delaware corporation, and NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation.

RECITALS

     Contemporaneously with the execution of this Certificate, BNPPLC and NAI are executing a
Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement dated as of the Effective Date (the “Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement”), which by this reference is incorporated into and made a part of this
Certificate for all purposes. As used in this Certificate, capitalized terms defined in the Common
Definitions and Provisions Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Certificate are intended to
have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement.

     Also contemporaneously with this Certificate, BNPPLC is executing and accepting a Ground Lease
from NAI (the “Ground Lease”), pursuant to which BNPPLC is acquiring a leasehold estate in the Land
described in Exhibit A and any existing Improvements on the Land.

     Also contemporaneously with this Certificate, BNPPLC and NAI are executing a Construction
Management Agreement (the“Construction Management Agreement”) and a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”).
Pursuant to the Construction Management Agreement, BNPPLC is agreeing to provide funding for the
construction of new Improvements. When the term of the Lease commences, the Lease will cover all
Improvements on the Land described in Exhibit A.

     Also contemporaneously with this Certificate, BNPPLC and NAI are executing a Purchase
Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which NAI may purchase or arrange for the
purchase of the Property and BNPPLC may collect a Supplemental Payment from NAI sufficient to cover
all or a substantial portion of the Lease Balance not otherwise repaid to BNPPLC from the proceeds
of any sale of the Property.

     As a condition to BNPPLC’s execution of the other Operative Documents, BNPPLC requires the
representations and covenants of NAI set out below.

AGREEMENTS

     In consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

 

1 Representations, Covenants and Acknowledgments 
of NAI Concerning the Property. To induce BNPPLC to enter into the Ground Lease, and to
enter into this Certificate and the other Operative Documents, NAI represents, covenants and
acknowledges as follows:

     (A) Prior Inspections and Investigations Concerning the Property. NAI has thoroughly
inspected, investigated and evaluated the condition of and title to the Property and Applicable
Laws which will govern the construction, use and operation of the Property required or permitted by
the Operative Documents, as necessary to make the representations concerning the Property set forth
in this Certificate and other Operative Documents.

     (B) Title. Good and indefeasible title to the Land and any existing Improvements
thereon is currently vested in NAI, subject only to the rights of BNPPLC under the Ground Lease,
the Permitted Encumbrances and any Liens Removable by BNPPLC. So long as NAI has any rights under
the Construction Management Agreement, the Lease or the Purchase Agreement, NAI will not permit any
Person to acquire rights of the landlord under the Ground Lease other than NAI itself or a
corporation that controls, is controlled by or under common control with NAI.

     (C) Compliance with Covenants and Laws. The construction contemplated by the
Construction Management Agreement and use of the Property permitted by the Lease complies, or will
comply after NAI obtains readily available permits (either as the construction manager under the
Construction Management Agreement or as the tenant under the Lease), in all material respects with
all Applicable Laws. NAI has obtained or can and will promptly obtain all utility, building,
health and operating permits required by any governmental authority or municipality having
jurisdiction over the Property for the construction contemplated in the Construction Management
Agreement and the use of the Property permitted by the Lease.

2 Representations and Covenants by NAI. NAI also represents and covenants to BNPPLC as
follows:

     (A) Concerning NAI and the Operative Documents.

     (1) Entity Status. NAI is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing in the
State of Delaware and is authorized to do business in and is in good standing under the laws
of California.

     (2) Authority. The Constituent Documents of NAI permit the execution, delivery
and performance of the Operative Documents by NAI, and all actions and approvals necessary
to bind NAI under the Operative Documents have been taken and

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 2

 

 

obtained. Without limiting the foregoing, the Operative Documents will be binding upon
NAI when signed on behalf of NAI by Ingemar Lanevi, Vice President and Corporate Treasurer
of NAI. NAI has all requisite power and all governmental certificates of authority,
licenses, permits and qualifications to carry on its business as now conducted and
contemplated to be conducted and to perform the Operative Documents.

     (3) Solvency. NAI is not “insolvent” on the Effective Date (that is, the sum of NAI’s
absolute and contingent liabilities — including the obligations of NAI under the Operative
Documents — does not exceed the fair market value of NAI’s assets), and NAI has no
outstanding liens, suits, garnishments or court actions which could render NAI insolvent or
bankrupt. NAI’s capital is adequate for the businesses in which NAI is engaged and intends
to be engaged. NAI has not incurred (whether by the Operative Documents or otherwise), nor
does NAI intend to incur or believe that it will incur, debts which will be beyond its
ability to pay as such debts mature. No petition or answer has been filed by or, to NAI’s
knowledge, against NAI in bankruptcy or other legal proceedings that seeks an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator
with respect to NAI or any significant portion of NAI’s property, a reorganization,
arrangement, rearrangement, composition, extension, liquidation or dissolution of NAI or
similar relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any state law.

     (4) Financial Reports. All reports, financial statements and other data furnished by
NAI to BNPPLC in connection with the agreements set forth in the Operative Documents are
true and correct in all material respects and do not omit to state any fact or circumstance
necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. No material adverse
change has occurred since the dates of such reports, statements and other data in the
financial condition of NAI.

     (5) Pending Legal Proceedings. No judicial or administrative investigations, actions,
suits or proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of NAI, threatened against or
affecting NAI by or before any court or other Governmental Authority that have or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. NAI is not in default with
respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or other Governmental
Authority in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (6) No Default or Violation. The execution and performance by NAI of the
Operative Documents do not and will not contravene or result in a breach of or default under
any other agreement to which NAI is a party or by which NAI is bound or which affects any
assets of NAI. Such execution and performance by NAI do not contravene any law, order,
decree, rule or regulation to which NAI is subject. Further, such

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 3

 

 

execution and performance by NAI will not result in the creation or imposition of (or
the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest
in, any property of NAI pursuant to the provisions of any such other agreement.

     (7) Use of Proceeds. In no event will the funds from any Funding Advance be used
directly or indirectly for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes or for the
purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing, acquiring or carrying any
“margin stock” or any “margin securities” (as such terms are defined in Regulation U
promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or to extend credit to
others directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin
stock or margin securities. NAI represents that NAI is not engaged principally, or as one of
NAI’s important activities, in the business of extending credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying such margin stock or margin securities.

     (8) Enforceability. The Operative Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of NAI enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership and other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.

     (9) Pari Passu. The claims of BNPPLC against NAI under the Operative Documents rank at
least pari passu with the claims of all its other unsecured creditors, except those whose
claims are preferred solely by any laws of general application having effect in relation to
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other similar events.

     (10) Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. So long as any obligations of
NAI under the Operative Documents remain outstanding, NAI will continue to engage in
business of the same general type as now conducted by it and will preserve, renew and keep
in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights, privileges and franchises
necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business.

     (11) Investment Company Act, etc. NAI is not and will not become, by reason of the
Operative Documents or any business or transactions in which it participates voluntarily,
(a) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” (as each
of the quoted terms is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended),
or (b) subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the
Federal Power Act, or any foreign, federal or local statute or regulation limiting NAI’s
ability to incur or guarantee indebtedness or obligations, or to pledge its assets to secure
indebtedness or obligations, as contemplated by any of the Operative Documents.

     (12) Not a Foreign Person. NAI is not a “foreign person” within the meaning

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 4

 

 

of Sections 1445 and 7701 of the Code (i.e. NAI is not a non-resident alien, foreign
corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined
in the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder).

     (13) ERISA. NAI is not and will not become an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA. The assets of NAI do not and
will not in the future constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning
of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. NAI is not and will not become a “governmental plan” within
the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA. Transactions by or with NAI are not subject to state
statutes regulating investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental
plans. No ERISA Termination Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, and NAI and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with ERISA. Neither NAI nor any of its Subsidiaries is
required to contribute to, or has any other absolute or contingent liability in respect of,
any Multiemployer Plan. As of the Effective Date no “accumulated funding deficiency” (as
defined in Section 412(a) of the Code) exists with respect to any Plan, whether or not
waived by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate, and there are no Unfunded Benefit
Liabilities with respect to any Plan.

     (14) Compliance With Laws. NAI and its Subsidiaries comply and will comply with all
Applicable Laws (including environmental laws and ERISA and the rules and regulations
thereunder), except when the necessity of compliance is contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings which do not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither NAI nor its Subsidiaries have received any notice
asserting or describing a material failure on the part of NAI or any Subsidiary to comply
with Applicable Laws, other than failures that have been fully rectified by NAI or the
Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a manner approved or accepted by Governmental Authorities
responsible for the enforcement of the Applicable Laws.

     (15) Payment of Taxes Generally. Except when the failure to do so does not have and
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (taking into account any
appropriate contest of taxes), NAI and its Subsidiaries have filed and will file all tax
declarations, reports and returns which are required by (and in the form required by)
Applicable Laws and have paid and will pay all taxes or other charges shown to be due and
payable on such declarations, reports and returns and all assessments made against it or its
assets by any Governmental Authority; and no liens have been filed or established by any
Governmental Authority against NAI or its assets or against any Subsidiary or its assets to
secure the payment of taxes or assessments that are past due or claimed to be past due.

     (16) Maintenance of Insurance Generally. Except when the failure to do so

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 5

 

 

does not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
NAI and its Subsidiaries have maintained and will maintain insurance with respect to its
properties and businesses, with financially sound and reputable insurers, having coverages
against losses or damages of the kinds customarily insured against by reputable companies in
the same or similar businesses, such insurance being the types, and in amounts no less than
the amounts, which are customary for such companies under similar circumstances.

     (17) Franchises, Licenses, etc. Except when the failure to do so does not have and
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, NAI and its Subsidiaries
have and comply with, and will have and will comply with, all franchises, certificates,
licenses, permits and other authorizations from Governmental Authorities that are necessary
for the ownership, maintenance and operation of its properties and assets.

     (18) Patents, Trademarks, etc. Except when the failure to do so does not have and
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, NAI and its Subsidiaries
have and will have and maintain in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other such rights, free from burdensome
restrictions, which are necessary for the operation of its businesses. Without limiting the
foregoing, to the knowledge of NAI, no product, process, method, service or other item
presently sold by or employed by NAI or any Subsidiary in connection with its business as
presently conducted infringes any patents, trademark, service mark, trade name, copyright,
license or other right owned by any other Person. No claim or litigation is presently
pending, or to the knowledge of NAI, threatened against or affecting NAI or any Subsidiary
that contests its right to sell or use any such product, process, method, substance or other
item and that has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (19) Labor. Neither NAI nor any of its Subsidiaries has experienced strikes, labor
disputes, slow downs or work stoppages due to labor disagreements that currently have or
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and to the knowledge of NAI
there are no such strikes, disputes, slow downs or work stoppages threatened against it or
against any Subsidiary. The hours worked and payment made to employees of NAI and its
Subsidiaries have not been in violation in any material respect of the Fair Labor Standards
Act or any other Applicable Laws dealing with such matters. All material payments due on
account of wages or employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits from NAI or
from any Subsidiary have been paid or accrued as liabilities on its books.

     (20) Title to Properties Generally. Except when the failure to do so does not

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 6

 

 

have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, NAI and its
Subsidiaries have and will have and maintain good and indefeasible fee simple title to or
valid leasehold interests in all of its real property and good title to or a valid
leasehold interest in all of its other material assets, as such properties and assets are
reflected in the most recent financial statements delivered to BNPPLC, other than properties
or assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business since such date; subject, however,
in the case of the Property to Permitted Encumbrances and Liens created by the Operative
Documents. NAI enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all of its leases.

     (21) Books and Records. NAI will keep proper books of record and account, containing
complete and accurate entries of all its financial and business transactions.

     (B) Further Assurances. NAI will, upon the reasonable request of BNPPLC, (i) execute,
acknowledge, deliver and record or file such further instruments and do such further acts as may be
necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of the Operative
Documents and to subject to any of the Operative Documents any property intended by the terms
thereof to be covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals,
additions, substitutions, replacements or appurtenances to the Property; (ii) execute, acknowledge,
deliver, procure and record or file any document or instrument deemed advisable by BNPPLC to
protect its rights in and to the Property against the rights or interests of third persons; and
(iii) provide such certificates, documents, reports, information, affidavits and other instruments
and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper in the reasonable determination
of BNPPLC to enable BNPPLC to comply with the requirements or requests of any agency or authority
having jurisdiction over it.

     (C) Syndication. Without limiting the foregoing, NAI will cooperate with BNPPLC as
reasonably required to allow BNPPLC to induce banks not affiliated with BNPPLC to become
Participants. Such cooperation will include the execution of any modification proposed by BNPPLC to
any of the Operative Documents at the request of a prospective Participant; subject, however, to
the conditions that (i) in no event will NAI be required to approve or accept an increase in the
Spread or other modifications that change the economics of the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents to NAI, and (ii) in other respects the form and substance of any such
modification agreement must not reasonably objectionable to NAI.

     (D) Financial Statements; Required Notices; Certificates. Prior to the Completion
Date and throughout the Term of the Lease, NAI will deliver to BNPPLC and to each Participant of
which NAI has been notified:

     (1) as soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of each
of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of NAI, the unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of NAI and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such quarter and consolidated

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 7

 

 

unaudited statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flow of NAI and its
Subsidiaries for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal year and ending
with the end of
such quarter, setting forth in comparative form figures for the corresponding period in
the preceding fiscal year, in the case of such statements of income, stockholders’ equity
and cash flow, and figures for the preceding fiscal year in the case of such balance sheet,
all in reasonable detail, in accordance with GAAP, and certified in a manner acceptable to
BNPPLC by a Responsible Financial Officer of NAI (subject to normal year-end adjustments);
provided, that so long as NAI is a company subject to the periodic reporting requirements of
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, NAI will be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations under this clause (1) if NAI delivers to BNPPLC the same quarterly
reports, certified by a Responsible Financial Officer of NAI (subject to year-end
adjustments), that NAI delivers to its shareholders;

     (2) as soon as available and in any event within ninety days after the end of each
fiscal year of NAI, the consolidated balance sheet of NAI and its Subsidiaries as of the end
of such fiscal year and consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash
flow of NAI and its Subsidiaries for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal
year and ending with the end of such fiscal year, setting forth in comparative form figures
for the preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable detail, in accordance with GAAP, and
certified in a manner acceptable to BNPPLC by independent public accountants of recognized
national standing reasonably acceptable to BNPPLC; provided, that so long as NAI is a
company subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, NAI will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under
this clause (ii) if NAI delivers to BNPPLC the same annual report and report and opinion of
accountants that NAI delivers to its shareholders;

     (3) in each case if requested in writing by BNPPLC, together with the financial
statements furnished in accordance with subparagraph 2(D)(1) and 2(D)(2), a certificate of a
Responsible Financial Officer of NAI in the form of certificate attached hereto as
Exhibit C (a) representing that no Event of Default or material Default by NAI has
occurred (or, if an Event of Default or material Default by NAI has occurred, stating the
nature thereof and the action which NAI has taken or proposes to take to rectify it), (b)
stating that the representations and warranties by NAI contained herein are true and
complete in all material respects on and as of the date of such certificate as though made
on and as of such date, and (c) setting forth calculations which show whether NAI is
complying with financial covenants set forth in subparagraph 3(B);

     (4) as soon as possible and in any event within five days after the occurrence of each
Event of Default or material Default known to a Responsible Financial Officer of NAI, a

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 8

 

 

and the action which NAI has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto;

     (5) promptly after the sending or filing thereof, copies of all such financial
statements, proxy statements, notices and reports which NAI or any Subsidiary sends to
its public stockholders, and copies of all reports and registration statements (without
exhibits) which NAI or any Subsidiary files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or
any governmental body or agency succeeding to the functions of the Securities and Exchange
Commission) or any national securities exchange;

     (6) as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty days after a Responsible
Financial Officer of NAI knows or has reason to know that any ERISA Termination Event with
respect to any Plan has occurred, a statement of a Responsible Financial Officer of NAI
describing such ERISA Termination Event and the action, if any, which NAI proposes to take
with respect thereto;

     (7) upon request by BNPPLC, a statement in writing certifying that the Operative
Documents are unmodified and in full effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the
Operative Documents are in full effect as modified, and setting forth such modifications)
and either stating that no default exists under the Operative Documents or specifying each
such default; it being intended that any such statement by NAI may be relied upon by any
prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Property or any prospective Participant; and

     (8) such other information respecting the condition or operations, financial or
otherwise, of NAI, of its Subsidiaries or of the Property as BNPPLC or BNPPLC’s Parent or

jurisdiction over BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant that requires or requests it.

     (E) Omissions. None of NAI’s representations in the Operative Documents or in any
other document, certificate or written statement furnished to BNPPLC by or on behalf of NAI
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements contained herein or therein (when taken in their entireties) not misleading.

3 Financial Covenants and Negative Covenants of NAI. NAI represents and covenants as
follows:

     (A) Definitions. As used in this Certificate:

     “Adjusted EBITDA” means, for any accounting period, the net income (or net loss) of NAI

income tax expense) and (iv) any other non-cash income, and (y) any cash payments made
during such period in respect of items described in clause (e) above subsequent to the

other similar instruments and all other obligations of any NAI/Company for borrowed
money (including obligations to repurchase receivables or other assets sold with

“synthetic” leases, but excluding accounts payable for property or services or the
deferred purchase price of property to the extent due within one year of the
applicable determination of Total Debt);

     (c) all obligations of any NAI/Company under conditional sale or other title
retention agreements with respect to property (other than inventory) acquired by the
NAI/Company (but limited in amount to the value of such property if the rights and
remedies of the seller or lender under such agreement in the event of default are
limited solely to the repossession or sale of such property);

     (d) all obligations of any NAI/Company as lessee under or with respect to
capital leases;

even though the NAI/Company has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such
obligations.

     (B) Financial Covenants. NAI covenants that it shall not, at any time prior to the
Completion Date and so long thereafter as the Lease continues in effect, suffer or permit:

     (1) Minimum Unencumbered Cash and Short Term Investments. The sum (without duplication

unencumbered marketable securities classified as short term investments according to GAAP of
NAI and its Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis) to be less than $300,000,000.

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 11

 

 

     (2) Maximum Leverage Ratio. The ratio of (a) Total Debt as of the end of any Rolling
Four Quarter Period, to (b) Adjusted EBITDA for such Rolling Four Quarter Period, to be more
than 2.00 to 1.00.

without the prior written consent of BNPPLC in each case:

     (1) Negative Pledge. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, or permit any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, any Lien, upon or
with respect to any of its properties, now owned or hereafter acquired, provided that the
following shall be permitted except to the extent that they would encumber any interest in
the Property in violation of other provisions of the Operative Documents:

     (a) Liens for taxes or assessments or other government charges or levies if not
yet due and payable or if they are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which appropriate reserves are maintained;

     (b) Liens imposed by law, such as mechanic’s, materialmen’s, landlord’s,
warehousemen’s and carrier’s Liens, and other similar Liens, securing obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of business which are not past due for more than
thirty (30) days, or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which appropriate reserves have been established;

     (c) Liens under workmen’s compensation, unemployment insurance, social security
or similar laws (other than ERISA);

     (d) Liens, deposits or pledges to secure the performance of bids, tenders,

     (e) judgment and other similar Liens against assets other than the Property or

actively contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

     (f) easements, rights-of-way, restrictions and other similar

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 12

 

 

encumbrances which, in the aggregate, do not materially interfere with the occupation, use and
enjoyment by NAI or any such Consolidated Subsidiary of the property or assets
encumbered thereby in the normal course of its business or materially impair the
value of the property subject thereto;

     (g) Liens securing obligations of such a Consolidated Subsidiary to NAI or to
another such Consolidated Subsidiary;

     (h) Liens not otherwise permitted by this subparagraph 3(C)(1) (and not
encumbering the Property) incurred in connection with the incurrence of additional
Indebtedness or asserted to secure Unfunded Benefit Liabilities, provided that (a)
the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding obligations secured by
Liens incurred pursuant to this clause shall not at any time exceed ten percent
(10%) of NAI consolidated net worth (determined in accordance with GAAP); and (b)
such Liens do not constitute Liens against NAI’s interest in any material Subsidiary
or blanket Liens against all or substantially all of the inventory, receivables,
general intangibles or equipment of NAI or of any material Subsidiary of NAI (for
purposes of this clause, a “material Subsidiary” means any subsidiary whose assets
represent a substantial part of the total assets of NAI and its Subsidiaries,
determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP); and

     (i) Permitted Encumbrances;

     (j) Liens created by the Operative Documents or other documents being executed
or accepted by BNPPLC in connection with the Operative Documents; and

     (k) Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition of such property or
to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such property or
any addition thereto or to secure any indebtedness incurred at the time of, or
within 120 days after the acquisition of such property or any addition thereto for
the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof (provided
such liens are limited to such property or additions thereto)

     (l) in the event a corporation is merged into NAI or a Subsidiary of NAI or
becomes a Subsidiary of NAI after the Effective Date, Liens on the property or
shares of capital stock of such corporation existing at the time of such merger or
at the time the corporation became a Subsidiary of NAI as the case may be;

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 13

 

 

     (m) Liens incurred in connection with any renewals, extensions or
refundings of any Debt secured by Liens described in the preceding clauses of this
subparagraph (1), provided that there is no increase in the aggregate principal
amount of Debt secured thereby from that which was outstanding as of the date of
such renewal, extension or refunding and no additional property is encumbered;
and

     (n) Liens incurred to secure Indebtedness incurred no later than June 30, 2006
to fund expenditures by NAI made to comply with or generate tax savings under the

     (2) Transactions with Affiliates. Enter into or permit any Subsidiary of NAI to enter
into any material transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale or
exchange of property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliates of NAI except on
terms (1) that would not cause or result in a Default by NAI under the financial covenants
set forth in Part II of this Schedule, and (2) that are no less favorable to NAI or
the relevant Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction
on an arm’s length basis from an unrelated Person.

     (3) Capital Expenditures. Make any additional investment in fixed assets in any fiscal
year in excess of an aggregate of twenty percent (20%) of NAI’s total assets as of the end
of the prior fiscal year.

     (4) Merger, Consolidation, Transfer of Assets. Merge into or consolidate with any
other entity (unless NAI is the surviving entity and remains in compliance of all provisions

“multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 4001 of ERISA.

     (7) Prohibited ERISA Transaction. Enter into any transaction which would cause any of

4 Limited Representations and Covenants of BNPPLC

     (A) Concerning
Accounting Matters.

     (1) To permit NAI to determine the appropriate accounting for NAI’s relationship with
BNPPLC under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN
46”), BNPPLC represents that to the knowledge of BNPPLC the fair value of the Property and
of other properties, if any, leased to NAI by BNPPLC (collectively, whether one or more, the
“Properties Leased to NAI”) are, as of the Effective Date, less than half of the total of
the fair values of all assets of BNPPLC, excluding any assets of BNPPLC held within a silo.
Further, none of the Properties Leased to NAI are, as of the Effective Date, held within a
silo. Consistent with the directions of NAI (based upon the current interpretation of FIN
46 by NAI and its auditors), and for purposes of this representation only:

	 	•	 	“held within a silo” means, with respect to any asset or group of
assets leased by BNPPLC to a single lessee or group of affiliated
lessees, that BNPPLC has obtained funds equal to or in excess of 95% of
the fair value of the leased asset or group of assets to acquire or
maintain its investment in such asset or group of assets through
non-recourse financing or other contractual arrangements (such as
targeted equity or bank participations), the effect of which is to
leave such asset or group of assets (or proceeds thereof) as the only
significant asset or assets of BNPPLC at risk for the repayment of such
funds;
	 
	 	•	 	“fair value” means, with respect to any asset, the amount for which
the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction negotiated
at arms length between willing parties (that is, other than in a forced
or liquidation sale);
	 
	 	•	 	with respect to the Properties Leased to NAI (regardless of how
BNPPLC accounts for the leases of the Properties Leased to NAI), and
with respect to other assets that are subject to leases accounted for
by BNPPLC as operating leases pursuant to Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement 13 (“FAS 13”), fair value is determined
without regard to residual value guarantees, remarketing agreements,
non-recourse financings, purchase options or other contractual
arrangements, whether made by BNPPLC with NAI or with other parties,
that might otherwise impact the fair

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 15

 

 

	 	 	 	value of such assets;
	 
	 	•	 	with respect to assets, other than Properties Leased to NAI,
that are subject to leases accounted for by BNPPLC as leveraged leases
pursuant to FAS 13, fair value is determined on a gross basis prior
to the application of leveraged lease accounting, recognizing that
equity investments made by BNPPLC in its assets subject to leveraged
lease accounting should be grossed up in applying this test
(however, equity investments made by BNPPLC through another legal
entity should not be so grossed up in applying this test);
	 
	 	•	 	with respect to assets, other than Properties Leased to NAI, that
are subject to leases accounted for by BNPPLC as direct financing
leases pursuant to FAS 13, fair value is determined as the sum of the
fair values (considering current interest rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same
remaining maturities) of the corresponding finance lease receivables
and related unguaranteed residual values.

     (2) BNPPLC also represents that BNPPLC’s Parent is, as of the Effective Date, including
BNPPLC as a consolidated subsidiary in the audited financial statements issued by BNPPLC’s
Parent.

     (3) BNPPLC covenants that, as reasonably requested by NAI from time to time with
respect to any accounting period during which the Lease is or was in effect, BNPPLC will
provide to NAI confirmation of facts concerning BNPPLC and its assets as necessary to permit
NAI to determine the proper accounting for the Lease (including updates of the facts set
forth in clauses (1) and (2) above); except that BNPPLC will not be required by this
provision to (w) provide any information that is not in the possession or control of BNPPLC
or its Affiliates, (x) disclose the specific terms and conditions of its leases or other
transactions with other parties or the names of such parties, (y) make disclosures
prohibited by any law applicable to BNPPLC or BNPPLC’s Parent, or (z) disclose any other
information that is protected from disclosure by confidentiality provisions in favor of such
other parties or would be protected if their agreements with BNPPLC contained
confidentiality provisions similar in scope and substance to any confidentiality provisions
set forth in the Operative Documents for the benefit of NAI or its Affiliates. BNPPLC will
represent that information provided by it pursuant to this clause is true and complete in
all material respects, but only to the knowledge of BNPPLC as of the date it is provided,
utilizing the form of the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit D (signed by an
officer of BNPPLC), which certificate will be provided

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 16

 

 

periodically by BNPPLC within five
business days of reasonable written request therefor by NAI as provided above, or such
longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances in order for
BNPPLC to confirm such information.

     (4) Although the representations required of BNPPLC by this subparagraph
are intended to cover facts, it is understood and agreed (consistent with
subparagraph 4(C) of the Lease) that BNPPLC has not made and will not make any
representation or warranty as to the proper accounting by NAI or its Affiliates of the Lease
or as to other accounting conclusions.

     (B) Other Limited Representations. BNPPLC represents that:

     (1) Entity Status. BNPPLC is a corporation duly incorporated , validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of Delaware.

     (2) Authority. The Constituent Documents of BNPPLC permit the execution, delivery and
performance of the Operative Documents by BNPPLC, and all actions and approvals necessary to
bind BNPPLC under the Operative Documents have been taken and obtained. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Operative Documents will be binding upon BNPPLC when signed on behalf of
BNPPLC by Lloyd G. Cox, Managing Director of BNPPLC. BNPPLC has all requisite power and all
governmental certificates of authority, licenses, permits and qualifications to carry on its
business as now conducted and contemplated to be conducted and to perform the Operative
Documents, except that BNPPLC makes no representation as to whether it has obtained
governmental certificates of authority, licenses, permits, qualifications or other
documentation required by state or local Applicable Laws. With regard to any such state or
local requirements, NAI may require that BNPPLC obtain a specific governmental certificates
of authority, licenses, permits, qualifications or other documentation pursuant to
subparagraph 4(C), subject to the conditions set forth in that subparagraph.

     (3) Solvency. BNPPLC is not “insolvent” on the Effective Date (that is, the sum
of BNPPLC’s absolute and contingent liabilities — including the obligations of BNPPLC under
the Operative Documents — does not exceed the fair market value of BNPPLC’s assets), and
BNPPLC has no outstanding liens, suits, garnishments or court actions which could render
BNPPLC insolvent or bankrupt. BNPPLC’s capital is adequate for the businesses in which
BNPPLC is engaged and intends to be engaged. BNPPLC has not incurred (whether by the
Operative Documents or otherwise), nor does BNPPLC intend to incur or believe that it will
incur, debts which will be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature. No petition or
answer has been filed by or, to BNPPLC’s knowledge, against BNPPLC in bankruptcy or other
legal proceedings that seeks an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the appointment of
a receiver, trustee,

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 17

 

 

custodian or liquidator with respect to BNPPLC or any significant
portion of BNPPLC’s property, a reorganization, arrangement, rearrangement, composition,
extension, liquidation or dissolution of BNPPLC or similar relief under the federal
Bankruptcy Code or any state law. (As used in the Operative Documents, “BNPPLC’s knowledge”
and words of like effect mean the present actual knowledge of Lloyd G. Cox and Barry
Mendelsohn, the current officers of
BNPPLC having primary responsibility for the negotiation of the Operative Documents.)

     (4) Pending Legal Proceedings. No judicial or administrative investigations, actions,
suits or proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of BNPPLC, threatened against or
affecting BNPPLC by or before any court or other Governmental Authority. BNPPLC is not in
default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or other
Governmental Authority in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a a
material adverse effect on BNPPLC or its ability to perform its obligations under the
Operative Documents.

     (5) No Default or Violation. The execution and performance by BNPPLC of the Operative
Documents do not and will not contravene or result in a breach of or default under any other
agreement to which BNPPLC is a party or by which BNPPLC is bound or which affects any assets
of BNPPLC. Such execution and performance by BNPPLC do not contravene any law, order,
decree, rule or regulation to which BNPPLC is subject. Further, such execution and
performance by BNPPLC will not result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to
create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any property
of BNPPLC pursuant to the provisions of any such other agreement.

     (6) Enforceability. The Operative Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of BNPPLC enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership and other similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.

     (7) Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. So long as any of the Operative
Documents remains in force, BNPPLC will continue to engage in business of the same general
type as now conducted by it and will preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence and its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the
normal conduct of business.

     (8) Not a Foreign Person. BNPPLC is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of
Sections 1445 and 7701 of the Code (i.e. BNPPLC is not a non-resident alien, foreign
corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined
in the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder).

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 18

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however or any other provision herein or in other Operative
Documents to the contrary, it is understood that NAI is not relying upon BNPPLC for any evaluation
of California or local Applicable Laws upon the transactions contemplated in the Operative
Documents, and BNPPLC makes no representation and will not make any representation that conditions
imposed by zoning ordinances or other state or local Applicable
Laws to the purchase, ownership, lease or operation of the Property have been satisfied.

     (C) Further Assurances. Prior to the Completion Date and during the Term of the
Lease BNPPLC will take any action reasonably requested by NAI to facilitate the construction
contemplated by the Construction Management Agreement or the use of the Property permitted by the
Lease or the establishment of a commercial condominium regime that includes the Property (a
“Condominium Regime”) or replatting of the Land and other adjacent land owned by NAI (a
“Replatting”); subject, however, to the following terms and conditions:

     (1) This subparagraph 4(C) will not impose upon BNPPLC the obligation to take any
action that can be taken by NAI, NAI’s Affiliates or anyone else other than BNPPLC as the
lessee under the Ground Lease or the owner of the Property.

     (2) BNPPLC will not be required by this subparagraph 4(C) to incur any expense or make
any payment to another Person unless (a) BNPPLC has received funds from NAI, in excess of
any other amounts due from NAI under any of the Operative Documents, sufficient to cover the
expense or make the payment or (b) the request by NAI which will result in such expense or
payment is made before the Completion Date and BNPPLC can include such expense or payment in
the Outstanding Construction Allowance for purposes of the Construction Management
Agreement.

     (3) BNPPLC will have no obligations whatsoever under this subparagraph 4(C) at any time
after a 97-10/Event or when a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     (4) NAI must request any action to be taken by BNPPLC pursuant to this subparagraph
4(C), and such request must be specific and in writing, if required by BNPPLC at the time
the request is made.

     (5) No action may be required of BNPPLC pursuant to this subparagraph 4(C) that could
constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws or compromise or constitute a waiver of
BNPPLC’s rights under other provisions of this Certificate or any of the other Operative
Documents or that for any other reason is reasonably objectionable to BNPPLC.

     The actions BNPPLC will take pursuant to this subparagraph 4(C) if reasonably requested

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 19

 

 

by NAI will include, subject to the conditions listed in the proviso above, executing or consenting
to, or exercising or assisting NAI to exercise rights under any: (I) grant of easements, licenses,
rights of way, and other rights in the nature of easements encumbering the Land or the
Improvements, (II) release, relocation or termination of easements, licenses, rights of way or
other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Land or Improvements or
any portion thereof, (III) dedication or transfer of portions of the Land not improved with a
building, for road, highway or other public purposes, (IV) agreements (which will, in the case of
agreements made with NAI or its Affiliates, remain subject to subparagraphs (J), (K) and (L) of the
Ground Lease or comparable provisions included in amendments to the Operative Documents) for the
use and maintenance of common areas, for reciprocal rights of parking, ingress and egress and
amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Land or any portion thereof, (V)
documents required to create or administer a governmental special benefit district or assessment
district for public improvements and collection of special assessments, (VI) instruments necessary
or desirable for the exercise or enforcement of rights or performance of obligations under any
Permitted Encumbrance or any contract, permit, license, franchise or other right included within
the term “Property”, (VII) modifications of Permitted Encumbrances, (VIII) permit applications or
other documents required to accommodate the Construction Project or any Replatting, (IX)
confirmations of NAI’s rights under any particular provisions of the Operative Documents which NAI
may wish to provide to a third party, (X) tract or parcel map subdividing the Land into lots or
parcels as part of a Replatting, or (XI) condominium documents (e.g., a condominium declaration or
map) meeting the requirements of Applicable Laws to establish a Condominium Regime. However, the
determination of whether any such action is reasonably requested or reasonably objectionable to
BNPPLC may depend in whole or in part upon the extent to which the requested action may result in a
lien to secure payment or performance obligations against BNPPLC’s interest in the Property, may
cause the value of the Property to be less than the Lease Balance after any Qualified Prepayments
that may result from such action are taken into account, or may impose upon BNPPLC any present or
future obligations greater than the obligations BNPPLC is willing to accept, taking into
consideration the indemnifications provided by NAI under the Construction Management Agreement or
the Lease, as applicable.

     In addition, with respect to any request made by NAI to facilitate a relocation of any
easements or a substitution of new easements for those described in Exhibit A, the
following will be relevant to the determination of whether the request is reasonable:

     (i) whether material encroachments will result from the relocation or replacement, and
whether title to the land over or under which any such easement is to be relocated or
replaced is encumbered by Liens other than those which are Fully Subordinated or Removable
or which otherwise constitute Permitted Encumbrances;

     (ii) whether the relocation or replacement will result in any interruption of

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 20

 

 

access or
services provided to the Property which is likely to extend beyond the Designated Sale Date
(it being understood, however, that any such interruption which is not likely to extend
beyond the Designated Sale Date will not be a reason for BNPPLC to decline the request); and

     (iii) whether the relocation or replacement is to be accomplished in a manner that will
not, when the relocation or replacement is complete, result in a material adverse change in
the access to or services provided to the Improvements or the Land.

     With respect to any request made by NAI to facilitate the establishment of a Condominium
Regime or Replatting, the following will be relevant to the determination of whether the request is
reasonable:

     (1) whether the Condominium Regime or Replatting will create one or more distinct
condominium units or parcels of land that include all significant Improvements constructed
or to be constructed by NAI for BNPPLC pursuant to the Construction Management Agreement and
only such Improvements (whether one or more, the “Applicable Units”);

     (2) whether NAI is willing to amend the Operative Documents by amendments in form and
substance acceptable to BNPPLC (the “Anticipated Amendments”) as necessary to ensure that:

     (A) the Property will include of the Applicable Units, together with all
access, parking or other property rights (whether exclusive or nonexclusive) that
will be created as appurtenances to the Applicable Units by the Condominium Regime
(“Appurtenant Condo Rights”) or by a recorded declaration of covenants, conditions
and rights executed in connection with a Replatting (“CCRs”);

     (B) the land leased to BNPPLC pursuant to the Ground Lease will include and be
limited to the land (if any) over which exclusive possession and control must
reasonably be vested in the owner of the Applicable Units to preserve the value and
utility of the Applicable Units to such owner, taking into account Appurtenant Condo
Rights or CCRs; and

     (C) if the event discretionary approvals or consents are required from any
“declarant” or “operator” by the Condominium Regime or CCRs over the design,
construction or alteration of Improvements or over the sale, use, leasing or
financing of the Property, then (i) the “declarant” or “operator” will be NAI or
another party acceptable to BNPPLC and will be bound by and remain bound by

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 21

 

 

subparagraphs (J), (K) and (L) of the Ground Lease or comparable provisions in the
Anticipated Amendments with respect to such discretionary approvals or consents;

     (3) whether the request itself (if granted) or the proposed Condominium
Regime or Replatting is likely to have any material adverse impact on the value or
utility of the Property, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Anticipated Amendments
and taking into account Appurtenant Condo Rights and CCRs; and

     (4) whether the request itself (if granted) or the Condominium Regime or CCRs will
materially limit, or give NAI or its Affiliates discretionary control over, the rights of
BNPPLC and its successors and assigns to use or lease, sell or otherwise transfer the
Applicable Units in the event NAI declines for any reason to purchase the Property on the
Designated Sale Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, but taking into account any
superior rights BNPPLC has or may reserve under or by reference to subparagraphs (J), (K)
and (L) of the Ground Lease or comparable provisions in the Anticipated Amendments.

     Any and all Losses incurred by BNPPLC because of any action taken after the Completion Date
pursuant to this subparagraph 4(C) will be covered by the indemnifications of BNPPLC set forth in
Construction Management Agreement or in the Lease. Further, for purposes of such indemnification,
any such action taken by BNPPLC will be deemed to have been made at the request of NAI if made
pursuant to any request of counsel to or any officer of NAI (or with their knowledge, and without
their objection) in connection with the execution or administration of the Lease or the other
Operative Documents.

     (D) Actions Permitted by NAI Without BNPPLC’s Consent. No refusal by BNPPLC to
execute or join in the execution of any agreement, application or other document requested by NAI
pursuant to the preceding subparagraph 4(C) will prevent NAI from itself executing such agreement,
application or other document, so long as NAI is not purporting to act for BNPPLC and does not
thereby create or expand any obligations or restrictions that encumber BNPPLC’s title to the
Property. Further, subject to the other terms and conditions of the Lease and other Operative
Documents, NAI may do any of the following in NAI’s own name and to the exclusion of BNPPLC before
and during the Term of the Lease, so long as no 97-10/Event has occurred and no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided NAI is not purporting to act for BNPPLC and
does not thereby create or expand any obligations or restrictions that encumber BNPPLC’s title to
the Property:

     (1) perform obligations arising under and exercise and enforce the rights of NAI or the
owner of the Property under the Permitted Encumbrances;

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 22

 

 

     (2) perform obligations arising under and exercise and enforce the rights of NAI or the
owner of the Property with respect to any other contracts or documents (such as building
permits) included within the Personal Property; and

     (3) recover and retain any monetary damages or other benefit inuring to NAI
or the owner of the Property through the enforcement of any rights, contracts or other
documents included within the Personal Property (including the Permitted Encumbrances);
provided, that to the extent any such monetary damages may become payable as compensation
for an adverse impact on value of the Property, the rights of BNPPLC and NAI under the other
Operative Documents with respect to the collection and application of such monetary damages
will be the same as for condemnation proceeds payable because of a taking of all or any part
of the Property.

     (E) Waiver of Landlord’s Liens. BNPPLC waives any security interest, statutory
landlord’s lien or other interest BNPPLC may have in or against computer equipment and other
tangible personal property placed on the Land from time to time that NAI or its Affiliates own or
lease from other lessors; however, BNPPLC does not waive its interest in or rights with respect to
equipment or other property included within the “Property” as described in Paragraph 7 of
the Lease. Although computer equipment or other tangible personal property may be “bolted down” or
otherwise firmly affixed to Improvements, it will not by reason thereof become part of the
Improvements if it can be removed without causing structural or other material damage to the
Improvements and without rendering HVAC or other major building systems inoperative and if it does
not otherwise constitute “Property” as provided in Paragraph 7 of the Lease.

     Without limiting the foregoing, BNPPLC acknowledges that NAI may obtain financing from other
parties for inventory, furnishings, equipment, machinery and other personal property that is
located in or about the Improvements, but that is not included in or integral to the Property, and
to secure such financing NAI may grant a security interest under the California Uniform Commercial
Code in such inventory, furnishings, equipment, machinery and other personal property. Further,
BNPPLC acknowledges that the lenders providing such financing may require confirmation from BNPPLC
of its agreements concerning landlord’s liens and other matters set forth in this subparagraph
4(E), and NAI may obtain such confirmation in any statement required of BNPPLC by the next
subparagraph.

     (F) Estoppel Letters. Upon thirty days written request by NAI at any time and from
time to time prior to the Designated Sale Date, BNPPLC must provide a statement in writing
certifying that the Operative Documents are unmodified and in full effect (or, if there have been
modifications, that the Operative Documents are in full effect as modified, and setting forth such
modifications), certifying the dates to which the Base Rent payable by NAI under the Lease has been
paid, stating whether BNPPLC is aware of any default by NAI that may exist under the Operative
Documents and confirming BNPPLC’s agreements concerning landlord’s liens and

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 23

 

 

other matters set
forth in subparagraph 4(E). Any such statement by BNPPLC may be relied upon by anyone with whom NAI
may intend to enter into an agreement for construction of the Improvements or other significant
agreements concerning the Property.

     (G) No Implied Representations or Promises by BNPPLC. NAI acknowledges and

agrees that neither BNPPLC nor its representatives or agents have made any representations
or promises with respect to the Property or the transactions contemplated in the Operative
Documents except as expressly set forth in the Operative Documents, and no rights, easements or
licenses are being acquired by NAI from BNPPLC by implication or otherwise, except as expressly set
forth in the other Operative Documents.

5 Usury Savings Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the
Operative Documents, BNPPLC does not intend to contract for, charge or collect any amount of money
from NAI that constitutes interest in excess of the maximum nonusurious rate of interest, if any,
allowed by applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”). BNPPLC and NAI agree that it is their intent
in the execution of the Lease, the Purchase Agreement and other Operative Documents to contract in
strict compliance with applicable usury laws, if any. In furtherance thereof, BNPPLC and NAI
stipulate and agree that none of the provisions of the Lease, the Purchase Agreement or the other
Operative Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract requiring compensation for the
use, forbearance or detention of money at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, and the provisions
of this paragraph shall control over all other provisions of this Certificate or other Operative
Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith. All interest paid or agreed to be paid by
NAI to BNPPLC shall, to the extent permitted by applicable usury laws, be amortized, prorated,
allocated, and spread throughout the period that any principal upon which such interest accrues is
expected to be outstanding (including without limitation any renewal or extension of the term of
the Lease) so that the amount of interest included in such payments does not exceed the maximum
nonusurious amount permitted by applicable usury laws. If the Designated Sale Date is accelerated
and as a result thereof amounts paid by NAI to BNPPLC as interest are determined to exceed the
interest that would have accrued at the Maximum Rate for the period prior to the Designated Sale
Date, then BNPPLC shall, at its option, either refund to NAI the amount of such excess or credit
such excess as a Qualified Prepayment (and thus reduce the Lease Balance and other amounts, the
determination of which depend upon Qualified Prepayments credited to NAI) and thereby shall render
inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable usury laws as a result of
such excess interest. If BNPPLC receives money (or anything else) that is determined to constitute
interest and that would, but for this provision, increase the effective interest rate received by
BNPPLC under or in connection with the Operative Documents to a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate,
then the amount determined to constitute interest in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest
shall, immediately following such determination, be returned to NAI or be credited as a Qualified
Prepayment, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable usury law shall be

 

 

Closing Certificate and Agreement — Page 24

 

 

inapplicable. If BNPPLC does not actually receive, but shall contract for, request or demand, a
payment of money (or anything else) which is determined to constitute interest and to increase the
effective interest rate contracted for or charged to a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, BNPPLC
shall be entitled, following such determination, to waive or rescind the contractual claim, request
or demand for the amount determined to exceed the Maximum Rate, in which
event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable usury law shall be inapplicable. If at
any time NAI should have reason to believe that the transactions evidenced by the Operative
Documents are in fact usurious, NAI shall promptly give BNPPLC notice of such condition, after
which BNPPLC shall have ninety days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in
order to correct such condition if it in fact exists.

6 Obligations of NAI Under Other Operative Documents Not Limited by this Certificate.
Except as provided above in Paragraph 5, nothing contained in this Certificate will limit, modify
or otherwise affect any of NAI’s obligations under the other Operative Documents. Subject to
Paragraph 5, those obligations are intended to be separate, independent and in addition to, and not
in lieu of, those established by this Certificate.

7 Obligations of NAI Hereunder Not Limited by Other Operative Documents. Recognizing that
but for this Certificate (including the representations of NAI set forth in Paragraph 1) BNPPLC
would not acquire the Property or enter into the other Operative Documents, NAI agrees that
BNPPLC’s rights for any breach of this Certificate (including a breach of such representations)
will not be limited by any provision of the other Operative Documents that would limit NAI’s
liability thereunder.

8 Waiver of Jury Trial. By its execution of this Certificate, each of NAI and BNPPLC
hereby waives its respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or
arising out of the Operative Documents or any of them or any other document or dealings between
them relating to the Property. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of
any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this
transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common
law and statutory claims. This waiver is a material inducement to each of BNPPLC and NAI as they
enter into a business relationship; each has already relied on the waiver in entering into the
Operative Documents; and each will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings.
NAI and BNPPLC, each having reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, knowingly and voluntarily
waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. This waiver is
irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in writing, and the waiver will
apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to each of the Operative
Documents or to any other documents or agreements relating to the Property. In the event of
litigation, this Certificate may be filed as a written consent to a
trial by the court.

Attention: Ingemar Lanevi

Gentlemen:

     This
certificate is furnished pursuant to subparagraph 4(A) of the Closing Certificate and
Agreement dated as of December 14, 2006 between BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation and Network

and used but not otherwise defined in this certificate are intended to have the respective meanings
ascribed to them in the Closing Certificate.

     BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation (“ BNPPLC”) certifies that the following are true and complete
in all material respects, but only to the knowledge of BNPPLC as of the date hereof:

     (A)     The facts disclosed in any financial statements or other documents listed in the

all material respects. Copies of such statements or other documents were provided by or behalf of

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

     This CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 14, 2006
(the “Effective Date”), is made by and between BNP PARIBAS LEASING CORPORATION (“BNPPLC”), a
Delaware corporation, and NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation.

RECITALS

     Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, BNPPLC and NAI are executing a Common
Definitions and Provisions Agreement dated as of the Effective Date (the “Common Definitions and
Provisions Agreement”), which by this reference is incorporated into and made a part of this
Agreement for all purposes. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined in the Common
Definitions and Provisions Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are intended to
have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement.

     At the request of NAI and to facilitate the transaction contemplated in the other Operative
Documents, contemporaneously with this Agreement BNPPLC is executing and accepting a Ground Lease
from NAI (the “Ground Lease”), pursuant to which BNPPLC is acquiring a leasehold estate in the Land
described in Exhibit A and any existing Improvements on such Land.

     Also contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPPLC and NAI are executing a Lease Agreement
(the “Lease”), pursuant to which the parties expect that NAI will lease the Improvements on the
Land described in Exhibit A from BNPPLC for a lease term that will commence on the
Completion Date (as defined below).

     In anticipation of the construction of new or additional Improvements for NAI’s use pursuant
to the Lease, BNPPLC and NAI have agreed upon the terms and conditions upon which BNPPLC is willing
to authorize NAI to arrange and manage such construction and upon which BNPPLC is willing to
provide funds for such construction, and by this Agreement BNPPLC and NAI desire to evidence such
agreement.

ENGAGEMENT AND AUTHORIZATION

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, BNPPLC does hereby
engage and authorize NAI — and NAI does hereby accept such engagement and authorization, as an
independent contractor for BNPPLC — to construct the Construction Project on the Land and to manage
such construction for BNPPLC. As more particularly provided in subparagraph 2(A)(2) below, NAI
will take possession and control of the Land and all
Improvements on the Land to accomplish such construction. However, the rights and authority
granted to NAI by this Agreement are expressly made subject and subordinate to the terms and
condition hereinafter set

 

 

forth and to the Ground Lease, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to any
other claims or encumbrances affecting the Land or the Property that may be asserted by third
parties other than Liens Removable by BNPPLC.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     1      Additional definitions. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined above will
have the respective meanings assigned to them above; as indicated above, capitalized terms that are
defined in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement and that are used but not defined herein
will have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement; and, the following terms will have the following respective meanings:

“97-10/Event” means any of the following:

     (a)      NAI gives a Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate and thereafter (i)
fails to rescind the same as described in subparagraph 7(B)(7) within ten
days after BNPPLC responds with any Increased Commitment, or (ii) gives a
Notice of Termination as provided in subparagraph 7(B)(1); or

     (b)      NAI gives a notice to terminate the Supplemental Payment
Obligation as described in subparagraph 6(B) of the Purchase
Agreement; or

     (c)      BNPPLC gives notice to NAI as described in subparagraph 7(C) to
cause a Termination of NAI’s Work; or

     (d)      NAI fails for any reason whatsoever to substantially complete the
Construction Project and give a Completion Notice to BNPPLC prior to the
Target Completion Date; or

     (e)      for any reason whatsoever (including the accrual of Carrying
Costs), the Funded Construction Allowance exceeds the Maximum Construction
Allowance.

“97-10/Maximum Permitted Prepayment” as of any date means the amount equal to eighty-nine
and nine-tenths of one percent (89.9%) of the aggregate of all 97-10/Project Costs paid or
incurred on or prior to such date.

 

Construction
Management Agreement — Page 2

 

 

“97-10/Prepayment” means any payment to BNPPLC required by Paragraph 9, which in each
case will equal (A) the 97-10/Maximum Permitted Prepayment, computed as of the date on which
the payment becomes due, less (B) the sum of (1) the accreted value of any prior payments
actually received by BNPPLC from NAI constituting 97-10/Prepayments, and (2) amounts (if
any) then owed by BNPPLC to NAI pursuant to this Agreement as reimbursements for 97-10
Project Costs paid by NAI and not theretofore reimbursed. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, “accreted value” of a payment means the amount of the payment plus an amount equal
to the interest that would have accrued on the payment if it bore interest at the Effective
Rate plus the Spread.

“97-10/Project Costs” means the following:

     (a)      costs incurred for the Work, including not only hard costs incurred for the new
Improvements described in Exhibit B, but also the following costs to the extent
reasonably incurred in connection with the Construction Project:

	 	•	 	soft costs, such as architectural fees, engineering fees and fees and costs
paid in connection with obtaining project permits and approvals required by
governmental authorities or any Permitted Encumbrance,
	 
	 	•	 	site preparation costs, and
	 
	 	•	 	costs of offsite and other public improvements required as conditions of
governmental approvals for the Construction Project or required by any
Permitted Encumbrances;

     (b)      costs incurred to maintain insurance required by (and consistent with the
requirements of) this Agreement prior to the Completion Date;

     (c)      Local Impositions that have accrued or become due prior to the Completion Date;

     (d)      Accrued Construction Period Interest Expense; and

     (e)      any costs in addition to those described in clauses (a) through (d)
preceding that GAAP (as it exists on the Effective Date) would allow BNPPLC to capitalize as
part of the cost of the Property or that the 97-10/Pronouncement would allow BNPPLC to
characterize as project costs, including: (1) cancellation or termination fees or other
compensation payable by NAI or BNPPLC pursuant to any contract concerning the
Construction Project made by NAI or BNPPLC with any general contractor, architect,
engineer or other third party because of any election by NAI or BNPPLC to cancel or

 

Construction
Management Agreement — Page 3

 

 

terminate such contract, and (2) any costs that BNPPLC incurs and is allowed to capitalize
to continue or complete the Construction Project after any Owner’s Election to Continue
Construction as provided in subparagraph 8(A).

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, 97-10/Project Costs will not include Pre-lease Force
Majeure Losses, Administrative Fees, the Arrangement Fee, or any legal fees which are
included in Transaction Expenses.

“97-10/Pronouncement” means the pronouncement issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force of
the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1998 titled “EITF 97-10: The Effect of Lessee
Involvement in Construction”, which provides that certain kinds of involvement by a lessee
in pre-lease commencement construction will cause the lessee to be considered as the owner
of the leased property during the construction period and then will require application of
the appropriate sale and leaseback accounting rules.

“NAI’s Estimate of Force Majeure Delays” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 7(B)(4).

“NAI’s Estimate of Force Majeure Excess Costs” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph
7(B)(3).

“Accrued Construction Period Interest Expense” means interest that has accrued and
that BNPPLC has paid or is obligated to pay on Funding Advances for any period prior to the
Completion Date. Such interest will include a percentage, equal to the aggregate
Percentages of all Participants (under and as defined in the Participation Agreement), of
Carrying Costs and Commitment Fees that accrue after the execution of any Participation
Agreement and that are added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance as provided in this
Agreement, it being understood that the additional amounts BNPPLC must pay to the
Participants under the Participation Agreement because of the accrual of Carrying Costs and
Commitment Fees effectively constitute construction period interest on advances the
Participants make to BNPPLC under the Participation Agreement. Accrued Construction Period
Interest Expense will also include any interest and other finance charges that accrue prior
to the Completion Date because of Funding Advances provided to BNPPLC by BNPPLC’s Parent in
the form of loans, regardless of whether BNPPLC’s obligation in respect of such loans is
limited to BNPPLC’s interest in the Property. However, any such interest and other finance
charges accruing on Funding Advances provided by BNPPLC’s Parent and included in Accrued
Construction Period Interest Expense will not exceed the Carrying Costs attributable to the
portion of the Lease Balance funded or maintained by such Funding Advances. Further,
Accrued Construction Period Interest will not include
any portion of Carrying Costs included in Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses (as set forth in
the definition thereof below) or interest or finance charges that BNPPLC must pay to the

Management Agreement — Page 4

 

 

Participants under the Participation Agreement because of the accrual of such portion of
Carrying Costs.

Changes BNPPLC may be willing to approve or any Increased Commitment that BNPPLC may be
willing to provide.

“Completion Date” means the the date upon which NAI gives the notice to BNPPLC which is
required by subparagraph 2(B), after having substantially completed the Construction Project
and having obtained any certificate of substantial completion or other permit (temporary or
permanent) required for the commencement of NAI’s use of the Improvements.

“Completion Notice” means the notice required by subparagraph 2(B) from NAI to BNPPLC,
advising BNPPLC that NAI has substantially completed construction of the Construction
Project and has obtained any certificate of substantial completion or other permit
(temporary or permanent) required for the commencement of NAI’s use of the Improvements.
(Any such Completion Notice will also confirm the amounts required to compute the Projected
Economic Depreciation of Equipment, consistent with BNPPLC’s determination of the projected
future value as provided in subparagraph ?, for use in calculating Amortizing Rent as
provided in the Lease.)

“Construction Advances” means (1) actual advances of funds made by or on behalf of
BNPPLC to or on behalf of NAI as provided in Paragraph 4, which sets forth NAI’s rights to
receive advances for Reimbursable Construction Period Costs, and (2) other amounts paid or
incurred by BNPPLC that subparagraph 8(A) or other provisions of this

 

Construction
Management Agreement — Page 5

 

 

Agreement allow BNPPLC
to characterize as Construction Advances. The term “Construction Advances” will not,

“FOCB Notice” means a notice from BNPPLC to NAI advising NAI of any of the following events
or circumstances, and also advising NAI that because of any of the following events or
circumstances BNPPLC will be entitled to make the election described in subparagraph 7(C),
which will constitute a Termination of NAI’s Work and a 97-10/Event:

     (1) NAI has taken action to cancel or terminate or reduce the coverage available to
BNPPLC under the builder’s risk insurance obtained for the Construction Project as required
by this Agreement, or NAI has otherwise failed to maintain any insurance or to provide
insurance certificates to BNPPLC as required by this Agreement and not cured such failure
within ten days after receiving notice thereof, or

is beyond the control of and not caused in whole or in part by negligence, illegal acts or
willful misconduct on the part of NAI or of its employees or of any other party acting under
NAI’s control or with the approval or authorization of NAI, and (ii) could not have been
avoided or overcome by the exercise of due diligence or reasonable foresight on the part of
NAI or of any other such party.

“Funded Construction Allowance” means on any day the Outstanding Construction Allowance on

needed to cover other Reimbursable Construction Period Costs.

 

Construction
Management Agreement — Page 8

 

 

“Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses” means any of the following Losses that BNPPLC suffers
by reason of damage to the Improvements caused by a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event:

     (a)      the costs of repairing such damage to the extent that such costs have, as
of the date of any required determination of Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses, (i)
been paid or reimbursed from a Construction Advance (and thus are included in the
Lease Balance as of that date), to be distinguished from costs of repairs paid or
reimbursed from insurance proceeds or from any recovery from a third party, and (ii)
exceeded amounts (if any) available in the NAI’s original Construction Budget for
contingencies and thus would not have been covered by the Construction Allowance but
for an Increased Funding Commitment;

     (b)      any diminution in the value of the Improvements resulting from any such
damage that has not, as of the date of the required determination of Pre-lease Force
Majeure Losses, been repaired;

     (c)      any increase in the total amount of Carrying Costs, Commitment Fees,
Administrative Fees, Increased Cost Charges, Capital Adequacy Charges and Ground
Lease Rents (and any other amounts) added to the Lease Balance as provided in
Paragraph 3 solely by reason of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays; and

     (d)      to the extent not already included in the increase described in the preceding
clause, all increases in Carrying Costs that are attributable to the amounts included in
Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses pursuant to the preceding clause (a);

but in each case such amounts will constitute Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses only to the
extent, if any, that they are not offset by insurance proceeds which are (1) paid by reason
of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event (including insurance proceeds paid to compensate
BNPPLC or NAI for increased financing costs, the lost time value of BNPPLC’s investment in
the Project or business interruption) and (2) applied as a Qualified Prepayment to reduce
the Lease Balance.

Also, for purposes of this definition, the diminution in the value of the Improvements, as
described in the preceding clause (b), will not exceed the amount thereof estimated in good
faith by any independent appraiser or insurance adjuster engaged by BNPPLC to
determine such amount after BNPPLC has received a Notice of Pre-lease Force Majeure Event as
provided in subparagraph 6(B), nor will it exceed the cost of repairing the damage described
in the preceding clause (b) as estimated in good faith by any such independent insurance
adjuster or as indicated by any bona fide written bid to make the repairs that BNPPLC
obtains from a reputable contractor capable of making the repairs.

 

Construction
Management Agreement — Page 9

 

 

“Prior Work” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 4(C)(2)(b).

“Projected Cost Overruns” means the excess (if any), calculated as of the date of each
Construction Advance Request, of (1) the total of projected Reimbursable Construction Period
Costs yet to be incurred or for which NAI has yet to be reimbursed hereunder (including
projected Reimbursable Construction Period Costs for Future Work), over (2) the balance of
the remaining Construction Allowance then projected to be available to cover such costs. The
balance of the remaining Construction Allowance then projected to be available will equal:
(i) the amount (if any) by which the Maximum Construction Allowance exceeds the Funded
Construction Allowance, plus (ii) any Escrowed Proceeds then available or expected to be
available to cover costs of repairs and restoration that NAI will perform as part of the
Work after a casualty or condemnation, less (iii) all projected future Carrying Costs,
Commitment Fees, Administrative Fees and other amounts to be added to the Outstanding
Construction Allowance as provided in Paragraph 3.

“Reimbursable Construction Period Costs” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 4(A).

“Remaining Proceeds” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 5(A).

“Scope Change” means a change to the Construction Project that, if implemented, will make
the quality, function or capacity of the Improvements “materially different” (as defined
below in this subparagraph) than as described or inferred by the site plan or plans and
renderings referenced in Exhibit B. The term “Scope Change” is not intended to
include the mere refinement, correction or detailing of the site plan, plans or renderings
submitted to BNPPLC by NAI. As used in this definition, a “material difference” means a
difference that could reasonably be expected to (a) cause the Lease Balance to exceed the
fair market value of the Property when the Construction Project is completed and all
Construction Advances required in connection therewith have been funded, or significantly
increase any such excess, (b) change the general character of the Improvements from that
needed to accommodate the uses to be permitted by subparagraph 2(A) of the Lease, or
(c) cause or exacerbate Projected Cost Overruns.

“Target Completion Date” means the last day of the 24th calendar month following the
Effective Date.

“Termination of NAI’s Work” means a termination of NAI’s rights and obligations to continue
the Work because of an election to terminate made by NAI pursuant to subparagraph 7(B) or
because of an election by BNPPLC made pursuant to subparagraph 7(C).

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 10

 

 

“Third Party Contract” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(b).

“Third Party Contract/Termination Fees” means any amounts, however denominated, for which
NAI will be obligated under a Third Party Contract as a result of any election or decision
by NAI to terminate such Third Party Contract, including demobilization costs; provided,
however, amounts payable only by reason of Prior Work as of the date any such termination
will not be characterized as Third Party Contract/Termination Fees. If NAI reserves an
absolute express right in a Third Party Contract to terminate such contract at any time,
without cause, for a specified U.S. dollar amount, such amount will constitute a Third Party
Contract/Termination Fee. If no such right is reserved in a Third Party Contract, the
amount of damages that NAI is required to pay (in addition to payments required for Prior
Work) upon a repudiation of the Third Party Contract by NAI will qualify as a “Third Party
Contract/Termination Fee” applicable to such contract for purposes of this Agreement.

“Timing or Budget Shortfall” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 7(B).

“Work” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a).

“Work/Suspension Event” means any of the following:

     (1) Projected Cost Overruns have become more likely than not, in BNPPLC’s good faith
judgment (taking into account any notices or Construction Draw Requests from NAI indicating
that a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event may result in Projected Cost Overruns), and BNPPLC has
notified NAI of such judgement and the reasons therefor.

     (2) Delays in the Work (including any delays resulting from damage to the Property by
fire or other casualty or from any taking of any part of the Property by condemnation) have
made it substantially unlikely, in BNPPLC’s good faith judgment, that NAI will be able to
complete the Construction Project in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement
prior to the Target Completion Date using only the funds available to NAI under this
Agreement, and BNPPLC has notified NAI of such judgement and the reasons therefor.

     (3) BNPPLC has requested with respect to any Construction Advance, but NAI has failed
to provide within thirty days after receipt of the request: (1) invoices, requests for
payment from contractors and other evidence reasonably establishing that the costs and
expenses for which NAI has requested or is requesting reimbursement constitute actual
Reimbursable Construction Period Costs, and (2) canceled checks, lien waivers or other
evidence reasonably establishing that all prior Construction Advances paid to NAI have been
used by NAI to pay the Reimbursable Construction Period Costs

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 11

 

 

for which the prior advances were requested and made.

“Work/Suspension Notice” means a notice from BNPPLC to NAI advising NAI of any event or
circumstances that constitute a Work/Suspension Event and advising NAI that (1) before the
Work/Suspension Event is rectified BNPPLC may limit Construction Advances to NAI as
permitted by this Agreement, and (2) unless NAI does rectify the Work/Suspension Event
within thirty days after NAI’s receipt of such notice, BNPPLC may elect to send an FOCB
Notice in anticipation of a Termination of NAI’s Work.

“Work/Suspension Period” means any period (1) beginning with the date of any Work/Suspension
Notice, FOCB Notice or Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate, and (2) ending on the earlier of
(a) the first date upon which (i) no Work/Suspension Events are continuing, (ii) all
previous FOCB Notices and Notices of NAI’s Intent to Terminate (if any) have been rescinded,
and (iii) no 97-10/Events have occurred, or (b) the effective date of any Termination of
NAI’s Work as described in subparagraph 7(B) or subparagraph 7(C).

	2	 	Construction and Management of the Property by NAI.

	 	(A)	 	The Construction Project.

	 	(1)	 	Construction Approvals by BNPPLC.

     (a) Preconstruction Approvals by BNPPLC. NAI submitted and obtained
BNPPLC’s approval of the site plan and descriptions of the Construction Project
referenced in Exhibit B. Also set forth in Exhibit B is a general
description of the Construction Project. The Construction Project, as constructed by
NAI pursuant to this Agreement, and all construction contracts and other agreements
executed or adopted by NAI in connection therewith, must not be inconsistent in any
material respect with the plans or other items referenced in Exhibit B,
except to the extent otherwise provided by any Scope Change approved by BNPPLC and
except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 8(A) if BNPPLC should make an Owner’s
Election to Continue Construction after any Termination of NAI’s Work.

     (b) Approval of Scope Changes. Before making a Scope Change, NAI must
provide to BNPPLC a reasonably detailed written description of the Scope Change, a
revised Construction Budget and a copy of any changes to the drawings, plans and
specifications for the Improvements required in connection therewith, all of which
must be approved in writing by BNPPLC before the Scope Change is implemented. After
receiving such items, BNPPLC will endeavor in good faith to respond promptly (and in
any event no later than thirty days after

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 12

 

 

such receipt) to any request by NAI for
approval of the Scope Change. BNPPLC will not, however, be liable for any failure
to provide a prompt response. Further, BNPPLC’s approval will not in any event
constitute a waiver of subparagraph 2(A)(3) or of any other provision of this
Agreement or other Operative Documents.

     (2) NAI’s Right to Possession and to Control Construction. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work as
provided in subparagraphs 7(B) and 7(C), NAI will have possession of the Land and all
Improvements on the Land to the exclusion of BNPPLC and will have the sole right to control
and the sole responsibility for the design and construction of the Construction Project,
including the means, methods, sequences and procedures implemented to accomplish such design
and construction. Although title to all Improvements will vest in BNPPLC (as more
particularly provided in subparagraph 2(C)), BNPPLC’s obligation with respect to the
Construction Project will be limited to the making of advances under and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, NAI acknowledges and
agrees that:

     (a) Performance of the Work. Except as provided in subparagraphs 7(A)
and 7(D), NAI must, using its best skill and judgment and in an expeditious and
economical manner not inconsistent with the interests of BNPPLC, perform or cause to
be performed all work required, and must provide or cause to be provided all
supplies and materials required, to design and complete construction of the
Construction Project (collectively “Work”) no later than the Target Completion Date.
The Work will include obtaining all necessary building permits and other
governmental approvals required in connection with the design and construction of
the Construction Project, or required in connection with the use and occupancy
thereof (e.g., final certificates of occupancy). The Work will also include any
repairs or restoration required because of damage to Improvements by fire or other
casualty prior to the Completion Date (a “Pre-lease Casualty”); provided, however,
the cost of any such repairs or restoration will be subject to reimbursement not
only through Construction Advances made to NAI on and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, but also through the application of Escrowed Proceeds
as provided in Paragraph 5; and, provided
further, like other Work, any such repairs and restoration to be provided by
NAI will be subject to subparagraphs 7(A) and 7(D), which establish certain rights
of NAI to suspend or discontinue any Work. NAI will carefully schedule and supervise
all Work, will check all materials and services used in connection with all Work and
will keep full and detailed accounts as may be necessary to document expenditures
made or expenses incurred for the Work.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 13

 

 

	 	(b)	 	Third Party Contracts.

     1) NAI will not enter into any construction contract or other agreement
with a third party concerning the Work or the Construction Project (a “Third
Party Contract”) in the name of BNPPLC or otherwise purport to bind BNPPLC
to any obligation to any third party.

     2) In any Third Party Contract between NAI and any of its Affiliates
(an “Affiliate’s Contract”) NAI must reserve the right to terminate such
contract at any time, without cause, and without subjecting NAI to liability
for any Third Party Contract/Termination Fee. Further, NAI must not enter
into any Affiliate’s Contract that obligates NAI to pay more than would be
required under an arms-length contract or that would require NAI to pay its
Affiliate any amount in excess of the sum of actual, out-of-pocket direct
costs and internal labor costs incurred by the Affiliate to perform such
contract.

     (c) Adequacy of Drawings, Specifications and Budgets. BNPPLC has not
made and will not make any representations as to the adequacy of the Construction
Budget or any other budget or any site plans, renderings, plans, drawings or
specifications for the Construction Project, and no modification of any such
budgets, site plans, renderings, plans, drawings or specifications that may be
required from time to time will entitle NAI to any adjustment in the Construction
Allowance.

     (d) Existing Condition of the Land and Improvements. NAI is familiar
with the conditions of the Land and any existing Improvements on the Land. NAI will
have no claim for damages against BNPPLC or for an increase in the Construction
Allowance or for an extension of the deadline specified in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a)
for completing the Work by reason of any condition (concealed or otherwise) of or
affecting the Land or Improvements.

     (e) Correction of Defective Work. NAI will promptly correct all Work
performed prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work that does not comply with the
requirements of this Agreement for any reason other than a Pre-lease Casualty
(“Defective Work”). If NAI fails to correct any Defective Work or fails to carry out
Work in accordance with this Agreement, BNPPLC may (but will not be required to)
order NAI to stop all Work until the cause for such failure has been eliminated.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 14

 

 

     (f) Clean Up. Upon the completion of all Work, NAI will remove
all waste material and rubbish from and about the Land, as well as all tools,
construction equipment, machinery and surplus materials. NAI will keep the Land and
the Improvements thereon in a reasonably safe and sightly condition as Work
progresses.

     (g) No Damage for Delays. NAI will have no claim for damages against
BNPPLC or for an increase in the Construction Allowance by reason of any delay in
the performance of any Work. Nor will NAI have any claim for an extension of the
deadline specified in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a) for completing the Work because of any
such period of delay, except that (i) in the case of any Pre-lease Force Majeure
Delays, NAI will have certain rights as set forth in subparagraph 7(B) and other
provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) in the event of intentional interference with
the Work by BNPPLC itself for which NAI provides written notice to cease, NAI will
be entitled to an extension of the deadline specified in subparagraph 2(A)(2)(a) as
needed because of any delays resulting from such intentional interference. It is
also understood that any such intentional interference by BNPPLC will constitute a
Force Majeure Event. In no event, however, will BNPPLC’s exercise of its rights and
remedies permitted under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents be
construed as intentional interference with NAI’s performance of any Work; and thus
neither BNPPLC’s exercise of its right to withhold Construction Advances at any time
when NAI has failed to satisfy all conditions herein to such advances, nor BNPPLC’s
exercise of its right to terminate Work by NAI as provided in subparagraph 7(C), be
considered as intentional interference with the Work or a Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event.

     (h) No Fee For Construction Management. NAI will have no claim under
this Agreement for any fee or other compensation or for any reimbursement of
internal administrative or overhead expenses (other than the out-of-pocket overhead
expenses properly included in the Construction Budget, if any), it being understood
that NAI is executing this Agreement in consideration of the rights expressly
granted to it herein and in the other Operative Documents.

     (3) Quality of Work. NAI will cause the Work undertaken and administered by it
pursuant to this Agreement to be performed (a) in a safe and good and workmanlike
manner, (b) in accordance with Applicable Laws, and (c) in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the material provisions of the Permitted Encumbrances.

     (B) Completion Notice. Within ten Business Days after NAI substantially
completes construction of the Construction Project and obtains any certificate of occupancy or
other permit

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 15

 

 

(temporary or permanent) required by Applicable Laws for the commencement of NAI’s use
and occupancy of the Improvements, NAI must provide a notice (a “Completion Notice”) to BNPPLC,
advising BNPPLC thereof, and thereby establish the Completion Date. For purposes of this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents, BNPPLC will be entitled to rely without investigation
upon any such notice given by NAI as evidence that NAI has, in fact, substantially completed the
Construction Project and has obtained any certificate of occupancy or other permit (temporary or
permanent) required for the commencement of NAI’s use of the Improvements, and after giving any
such notice NAI will be estopped from later claiming that the Completion Date has not occurred.

     (C) Status of Property Acquired With BNPPLC’s Funds. All Improvements constructed on
the Land as provided in this Agreement will constitute “Property” for purposes of the Lease and
other Operative Documents. Further, to the extent heretofore or hereafter acquired (in whole or in
part) with any portion of the Initial Advance or with any Construction Advances or with other funds
for which NAI receives reimbursement from the Initial Advance or Construction Advances, all
furnishings, furniture, chattels, permits, licenses, franchises, certificates and other personal
property of whatever nature will be considered as having been acquired on behalf of BNPPLC by NAI
and will constitute “Property” for purposes of the Lease and other Operative Documents, as will all
renewals or replacements of or substitutions for any such Property. The parties intend that title
to the Improvements and to any other such Property will vest in BNPPLC without passing through NAI
or NAI’s Affiliates before it is transferred to BNPPLC from contractors, suppliers, vendors or
other third Persons, but with the understanding that all such Property will be accepted by BNPPLC
subject to the terms and conditions of the other Operative Documents, including subparagraph
4(C)(1) of the Lease (concerning the characterization of the Lease and other Operative
Documents for tax and certain other purposes). Although nothing herein constitutes authorization
of NAI by BNPPLC to bind BNPPLC to any construction contract or other agreement with a third
Person, any construction contract or other agreement executed by NAI for the acquisition or
construction of Improvements or other components of the Property may, as NAI deems appropriate,
provide for the direct transfer of title to BNPPLC as described in the preceding sentence.

	 	(D)	 	Insurance.

     (1) Liability Insurance. Throughout the period prior to any Termination
of NAI’s Work, NAI must maintain commercial general liability insurance against claims for
bodily and personal injury, death and property damage occurring in or upon or resulting
from any occurrence in or upon the Property under one or more insurance policies that
satisfy the Minimum Insurance Requirements, which are set forth in an exhibit to the Common
Definitions and Provisions Agreement. NAI must deliver and maintain with BNPPLC for each
liability insurance policy required by this Agreement written confirmation of the policy and
the scope of the coverage provided thereby issued by the

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 16

 

 

applicable insurer or its
authorized agent, which confirmation must also satisfy the Minimum Insurance Requirements.

     (2) Property Insurance. Throughout the period prior to any Termination of NAI’s
Work, NAI must also keep all Improvements (including all alterations, additions and changes
made to the Improvements) insured against fire and other casualty under one or more property
insurance policies that satisfy the Minimum Insurance Requirements. NAI must deliver and
maintain with BNPPLC for each property insurance policy required by this Agreement written
confirmation of the policy and the scope of the coverage provided thereby issued by the
applicable insurer or its authorized agent, which confirmation must also satisfy the Minimum
Insurance Requirements. If any of the Property is destroyed or damaged by fire, explosion,
windstorm, hail or by any other casualty against which insurance has been required
hereunder, (i) BNPPLC may, but will not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made
promptly by NAI after notice from BNPPLC, (ii) each insurance company concerned is hereby
authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to BNPPLC for application as
required by Paragraph 5, and (iii) BNPPLC may settle, adjust or compromise any and all
claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance (provided,
that so long as no 97-10/Event has occurred and no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, BNPPLC must provide NAI with at least forty-five days notice of BNPPLC’s
intention to settle any such claim before settling it unless NAI has already approved of the
settlement by BNPPLC). BNPPLC will not in any event or circumstances be liable or
responsible for failure to collect, or to exercise diligence in the collection of, any
insurance proceeds. If any casualty results in damage to or loss or destruction of the
Property, NAI must give prompt notice thereof to BNPPLC and Paragraph 5 will apply.

     (3) Failure of NAI to Obtain Insurance. If NAI fails to obtain any insurance
or to provide confirmation of any insurance as required by this Agreement, BNPPLC will be
entitled (but not required) to obtain the insurance that NAI has failed to obtain or for
which NAI has not provided the required confirmation and, without limiting BNPPLC’s other
remedies under the circumstances, BNPPLC may charge the cost of such insurance against the
Construction Allowance as if it were a Construction Advance paid to NAI as hereinafter
provided.

     (4) Waiver of Subrogation. NAI, for itself and for any Person claiming
through it (including any insurance company claiming by way of subrogation), waives any
and every claim which arises or may arise in its favor against BNPPLC or any other
Interested Party for any and all Losses, to the extent that NAI is compensated by insurance
or would be compensated by the insurance policies contemplated in this Agreement, but for
any deductible or self-insured retention maintained under such insurance or but for a
failure of NAI to maintain the insurance as required by this

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 17

 

 

Agreement. NAI agrees to have
such insurance policies properly endorsed so as to make them valid notwithstanding this
waiver, if such endorsement is required to prevent a loss of insurance.

     (E) Condemnation. Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any
proceedings for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, or any other similar
governmental or quasi-governmental proceedings arising out of injury or damage to the Property or
any portion thereof, each party must promptly notify the other (provided, however, BNPPLC will have
no liability for its failure to provide such notice) of the pendency of such proceedings. Prior to
any Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must, if requested by BNPPLC, diligently prosecute any such
proceedings and consult with BNPPLC, its attorneys and experts and cooperate with them as
reasonably requested in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. All proceeds of
condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation with respect to the Property and
all judgments, decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Property will be paid to BNPPLC as
Escrowed Proceeds, and all such proceeds will be applied as provided in Paragraph 5. BNPPLC is
hereby authorized, in its own name or in the name of NAI or in the name of both, to settle and
deliver valid acquittances for, or to challenge and to appeal from, any such judgment, decree or
award concerning condemnation of any of the Property (provided, that so long as no 97-10/Event has
occurred and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, BNPPLC must provide NAI with at
least forty-five days notice of BNPPLC’s intention to settle any such claim before settling it
unless NAI has already approved of the settlement by BNPPLC). BNPPLC will not in any event or
circumstances be liable or responsible for failure to collect, or to exercise diligence in the
collection of, any such proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards.

     (F) Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of NAI Concerning the
Property. Without limiting the rights granted to NAI by other provisions of this Agreement to
be reimbursed from Construction Advances for the cost of complying with the following, NAI
represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

     (1) Payment of Local Impositions. Throughout the period prior to any
Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must pay or cause to be paid prior to delinquency all ad
valorem taxes assessed against the Property and other Local Impositions. If requested by
BNPPLC from time to time, NAI will furnish BNPPLC with receipts or other appropriate
evidence showing payment of all Local Impositions prior to the applicable delinquency date
therefor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, NAI may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings,
contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted Local Imposition, and pending
such contest NAI will not be deemed in default under any of the provisions of this Agreement
because of the Local Imposition if (1) NAI diligently prosecutes such

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 18

 

 

contest to completion
in a manner reasonably satisfactory to BNPPLC, and (2) NAI promptly causes to be paid any
amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all costs, penalties
and interest thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; provided, however, in any
event each such contest must be concluded and the contested Local Impositions must be paid
by NAI prior to the earlier of (i) the date that any criminal prosecution is instituted or
overtly threatened against BNPPLC or its directors, officers or employees because of the
nonpayment thereof, or (ii) the date any writ or order is issued under which any property
owned or leased by BNPPLC (including the Property) may be seized or sold or any other action
is taken or overtly threatened against BNPPLC or against any property owned or leased by
BNPPLC because of the nonpayment thereof, or (iii) any Designated Sale Date upon which, for
any reason, NAI or an Affiliate of NAI or any Applicable Purchaser does not purchase
BNPPLC’s interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for a price to BNPPLC
(when taken together with any Supplemental Payment paid by NAI pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, in the case of a purchase by an Applicable Purchaser) equal to the Break Even
Price.

     (2) Operation and Maintenance. Throughout the period prior to any
Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must operate and maintain the Property in a good and
workmanlike manner and in compliance with Applicable Laws in all material respects and pay
or cause to be paid all fees or charges of any kind in connection therewith. (If NAI does
not promptly correct any failure of the Property to comply with Applicable Laws that is the
subject of a written complaint or demand for corrective action given by any Governmental
Authority to NAI, or to BNPPLC and forwarded by it to NAI, then for purposes of the
preceding sentence, NAI will be considered not to have maintained the Property “in
compliance with all Applicable Laws in all material respects” whether or not the
noncompliance would be material in the absence of the complaint or demand.) NAI must not
use or occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates
any Applicable Law or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void,
voidable or cancelable any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, NAI must not conduct or permit others to conduct Hazardous
Substance Activities on the Property, except Permitted Hazardous Substance Use and Remedial
Work; and NAI must not discharge or permit the discharge of anything (including Permitted
Hazardous Substances) on or from the Property that would require any permit under applicable
Environmental Laws, other than (1) storm water runoff, (2) fume hood emissions, (3) waste
water discharges through a publicly owned treatment works, (4) discharges that are a
necessary part of any Remedial Work,
and (5) other similar discharges consistent with the definition herein of Permitted
Hazardous Substance Use which do not significantly increase the risk of Environmental Losses
to BNPPLC, in each case in strict compliance with Environmental Laws. To the extent that
any of the following would, individually or in the aggregate, increase the

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 19

 

 

likelihood of a
97-10/Event or materially and adversely affect the value of the Property or the use of the
Property for purposes permitted by this Agreement, NAI must not, without BNPPLC’s prior
consent: (i) initiate or permit any zoning reclassification of the Property; (ii) seek any
variance under existing zoning ordinances applicable to the Property; (iii) use or permit
the use of the Property in a manner that would result in such use becoming a nonconforming
use under applicable zoning ordinances or similar laws, rules or regulations; (iv) execute
or file any subdivision plat affecting the Property; or (v) consent to the annexation of the
Property to any municipality. NAI will not cause or permit any drilling or exploration for,
or extraction, removal or production of, minerals from the surface or subsurface of the
Property, and NAI must not do anything that could reasonably be expected to significantly
reduce the market value of the Property. If NAI receives a notice or claim from any federal,
state or other governmental authority that the Property is not in compliance with any
Applicable Law, or that any action may be taken against BNPPLC because the Property does not
comply with any Applicable Law, NAI must promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to
BNPPLC.

     (3) Debts for Construction, Maintenance, Operation or Development. NAI must
promptly pay or cause to be paid all debts and liabilities incurred it or its contractors or
subcontractors in the construction, maintenance, operation or development of the Property.
Such debts and liabilities will include those incurred for labor, material and equipment and
all debts and charges for utilities servicing the Property.

     (4) Permitted Encumbrances and the Ground Lease. NAI must comply with and will
cause to be performed all of the covenants, agreements and obligations imposed upon the
owner of any interest in the Property by the Permitted Encumbrances or the Ground Lease
throughout the period prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work. NAI must not, without the
prior consent of BNPPLC, create any new Permitted Encumbrance or enter into, initiate,
approve or consent to any modification of any Permitted Encumbrance that would create or
expand or purport to create or expand obligations or restrictions encumbering BNPPLC’s
interest in the Property. (Whether BNPPLC must give any such consent requested by NAI prior
to the Completion Date will be governed by subparagraph 4(C) of the Closing
Certificate.)

     (5) Books and Records Concerning the Property. NAI must keep books and records
that are accurate and complete in all material respects for NAI’s construction and
management of the Property as contemplated in this Agreement and must permit all such books
and records (including all contracts, statements, invoices, bills and claims for labor,
materials and services supplied for the construction and operation of any Improvements)
to be inspected and copied by BNPPLC.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 20

 

 

	(G)	 	BNPPLC’s Right of Access.

     (1) Access Generally. BNPPLC and BNPPLC’s representatives may enter the
Property at any time for the purpose of making inspections or performing any work BNPPLC is
authorized to undertake by the next subparagraph or for the purpose confirming whether NAI
has complied with the requirements of this Agreement or the other Operative Documents.
However, prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work, BNPPLC or BNPPLC’s representative will,
before making any entry upon the Property or performing any work on the Property authorized
by this Agreement, do the following

     (a) BNPPLC will give NAI at least 24 hours notice, unless BNPPLC believes in
good faith that an emergency may exist or a Default has occurred and is continuing,
because of which significant damage to the Property or other significant Losses may
be sustained if BNPPLC delays entry to the Property; and

     (b) if then requested to do so by NAI in order to maintain NAI’s security,
BNPPLC or its representative will: (i) sign in at NAI’s security or information desk
if NAI has such a desk on the premises, (ii) wear a visitor’s badge or other
reasonable identification, (iii) permit an employee of NAI to observe such
inspection or work, and (iv) comply with other similar reasonable nondiscriminatory
security requirements of NAI that do not, individually or in the aggregate,
significantly interfere with inspections or work of BNPPLC authorized by this
Agreement.

     (2) Failure of NAI to Perform. If NAI fails to perform any act or to
take any action required of it by this Agreement or other Operative Documents, or to pay any
money which NAI is required by this Agreement or other Operative Documents to pay, and if
such failure or action constitutes an Event of Default or renders BNPPLC or any director,
officer, employee or Affiliate of BNPPLC at risk of criminal prosecution or renders BNPPLC’s
interest in the Property or any part thereof at risk of forfeiture by forced sale or
otherwise, then in addition to any other remedies specified herein or otherwise available,
BNPPLC may, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money.
(To the extent that expenses so incurred by BNPPLC, and money so paid by BNPPLC, qualify as
a Covered Construction Period Losses, NAI must pay the same to BNPPLC upon demand. If any
such expenses incurred or money paid do not qualify as Covered Construction Period Losses,
but do constitute 97-10/Project Costs, BNPPLC may treat them as Construction Advances
hereunder. To the extent that any such expenses incurred or money paid do not qualify as
Covered Construction Period
Losses and do constitute 97-10/Project Costs, they will be included
— with interest — in the Balance of Unpaid Covered Construction Period Losses under and as defined in the
Purchase Agreement.) Further, BNPPLC, upon making such payment, will be subrogated

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 21

 

 

to all of the rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment. But nothing
herein will imply any duty upon the part of BNPPLC to do any work which, under any provision
of this Agreement or otherwise, NAI may be required to perform, and the performance thereof
by BNPPLC will not constitute a waiver of NAI’s default. BNPPLC may during the progress of
any such work permitted by BNPPLC hereunder on or in the Property keep and store upon the
Property all necessary materials, tools, and equipment. BNPPLC will not in any event be
liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business, or other damage to NAI
or the subtenants or invitees of NAI by reason of BNPPLC’s performance of any such work, or
on account of bringing materials, supplies and equipment into or through the Property during
the course of such work, and the obligations of NAI under this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents will not thereby be excused in any manner.

3 Amounts to be Added to the Lease Balance (in Addition to Construction Advances).

     (A) Initial Advance. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by BNPPLC, an
advance (the “Initial Advance”) will be made by BNPPLC to cover the cost of certain Transaction
Expenses and other amounts described in this subparagraph. The amount of the Initial Advance, which
will be included in the Lease Balance, may be confirmed by a separate closing certificate executed
by NAI as of the Effective Date. An arrangement fee (the “Arrangement Fee”) and an initial
administrative agency fee (an “Administrative Fee”) will be paid from the Initial Advance (and thus
be included in the Lease Balance) in the amounts provided in the Term Sheet. To the extent that
BNPPLC does not itself use the entire the Initial Advance to pay such fees and Transaction Expenses
incurred by BNPPLC, the remainder thereof will be advanced to NAI, with the understanding that NAI
will use any such amount advanced for one or more of the following purposes: (1) the payment or
reimbursement of Transaction Expenses incurred by NAI and all “soft costs” incurred by NAI in
connection with the planning, design, engineering, construction and permitting of the Construction
Project; (2) the maintenance of the Property; or (3) the payment of other amounts due pursuant to
the Operative Documents. (Before executing the separate closing certificate to confirm the Initial
Advance, NAI will make a reasonable effort to determine all prior expenses incurred by it as
described in clause (1) of the preceding sentence and to request an Initial Advance sufficient in
amount to cover all such expenses in addition to the Arrangement Fee, the Administrative Fee and
all Transaction Expenses incurred by BNPPLC. However, no failure by NAI to identify and include
all such expenses in the amount of the requested Initial Advance will preclude NAI from requesting
reimbursement for the same through a subsequent Construction Advance as provided in Paragraph 4.
Reimbursable Construction
Period Costs to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Paragraph 4 will not be limited to those
incurred after the Effective Date.)

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 22

 

 

     (B) Carrying Costs. For each Construction Period certain charges (“Carrying
Costs”) will accrue and be added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance on the last day of such
Construction Period (i.e., generally on the Advance Date upon which such Construction Period ends).
If, however, for any reason the Lease Balance (and thus the Outstanding Construction Allowance
included as a component thereof) must be determined as of any date between Advance Dates, the
Outstanding Construction Allowance determined on such date will include not only Carrying Costs
added on or before the immediately preceding Advance Date computed as described below, but also
Carrying Costs accruing on and after such preceding Advance Date to but not including the date in
question. Carrying Costs accruing for any Construction Period will be equal to:

	 	•	 	the amount equal on the first day of such Construction Period to the Lease
Balance, times
	 
	 	•	 	the sum of the Effective Rate and the Spread for such Construction Period,
times
	 
	 	•	 	a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such
Construction Period and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty.

     (C) Commitment Fees. For each Construction Period additional charges (“Commitment
Fees”) will accrue and be added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance on the last day of such
Construction Period (i.e., generally on the Advance Date upon which such Construction Period ends).
If, however, for any reason the Lease Balance (and thus the Outstanding Construction Allowance
included as a component thereof) must be determined as of any date between Advance Dates, the
Outstanding Construction Allowance determined on such date will include not only Commitment Fees
added on or before the immediately preceding Advance Date computed as described below, but also
Commitment Fees accruing on and after such preceding Advance Date to but not including the date in
question. Commitment Fees for each Construction Period will be computed as follows:

	 	•	 	15.0 basis points (15/100 of 1%), times an amount equal to:

(1) the Maximum Construction Allowance, less

(2) the Funded Construction Allowance on the first day of such Construction
Period; times

	 	•	 	the number of days in such Construction Period; divided by
	 
	 	•	 	three hundred sixty.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 23

 

 

     (D) Future Administrative Fees and Out-of-Pocket Costs. If the Completion Date
does not occur prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, then on each anniversary of
the Effective Date prior to the Completion Date, an administrative agency fee (also, an
“Administrative Fee”) will be added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance by BNPPLC in the
amount provided in the Term Sheet. Also, to the extent that BNPPLC incurs any out-of-pocket costs
prior to the Completion Date with respect to the administration of or performance of its
obligations under this Agreement or other Operative Documents (e.g., any rents required by the
Ground Lease and any Attorneys’ Fees or other costs incurred to evaluate lien releases and other
information submitted by NAI with requests for Construction Advances), BNPPLC may add such costs to
the Outstanding Construction Allowance from time to time.

	 	(E)	 	Increased Cost Charges and Capital Adequacy Charges.

     (1) If after the Effective Date there is any increase in the cost to BNPPLC’s Parent or
any other Participant agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining advances to BNPPLC
in connection with the Property because of any Banking Rules Change, then BNPPLC may agree
or become obligated to pay to BNPPLC’s Parent or such other Participant, as the case may be,
additional amounts (“Increased Cost Charges”) sufficient to compensate BNPPLC’s Parent or
the Participant for such increased costs. Any Increased Cost Charges paid by BNPPLC or for
which BNPPLC becomes obligated to pay, prior to the Completion Date, will be added to the
Outstanding Construction Allowance by BNPPLC.

     (2) BNPPLC’s Parent or any other Participant may demand additional payments (“Capital
Adequacy Charges”) if BNPPLC’s Parent or the other Participant determines that any Banking
Rules Change affects the amount of capital to be maintained by it and that the amount of
such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of advances made or to be made to
BNPPLC to permit BNPPLC to maintain BNPPLC’s investment in the Property or to make
Construction Advances. To the extent that BNPPLC’s Parent or a Participant demands Capital
Adequacy Charges as compensation for the additional capital requirements reasonably
allocable to such investment or advances, and BNPPLC pays or becomes obligated to pay to
BNPPLC’s Parent or the other Participant the amount so demanded prior to the Completion
Date, such amount will also be added to the Outstanding Construction Allowance by BNPPLC.

     (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph 3(E), the
Outstanding Construction Allowance will not be increased by Increased Cost Charges or
Capital Adequacy Charges that arise or accrue (a) as a result of any change in the rating
assigned to BNPPLC by rating agencies or bank regulators in regard to BNPPLC’s
creditworthiness, record keeping or failure to comply with Applicable Laws (including U.S.
banking regulations applicable to subsidiaries of a bank holding company), or (b)

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 24

 

 

more than
nine months prior to the date NAI is notified of the intent of BNPPLC’s Parent or a
Participant to make a claim for such charges; provided, that if the Banking Rules Change
which results in a claim for compensation is retroactive, then the nine month period will be
extended to include the period of the retroactive effect of such Banking Rules Change.
Further, BNPPLC will cause BNPPLC’s Parent and any Participant that is an Affiliate of
BNPPLC to use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for
compensation pursuant to this subparagraph 3(E), including a change in the office of
BNPPLC’s Parent or such Participant through which it provides and maintains Funding Advances
if such change will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will
not, in the reasonable judgment of BNPPLC’s Parent or such Participant, be otherwise
disadvantageous to it. It is understood that NAI may also request similar commercial
reasonable efforts on the part of any Participant that is not an Affiliate of BNPPLC, but if
a claim for additional compensation by any such Participant is not eliminated or waived,
then NAI may request that BNPPLC replace such Participant under the Participation Agreement.

     (F) Ground Lease Payments. All rentals payable by BNPPLC under the Ground Lease prior
to the Completion Date (“Ground Lease Rents”) will be added to the Outstanding Construction
Allowance by BNPPLC on the date paid.

	4	 	Construction Advances.

     (A) Costs Subject to Reimbursement Through Construction Advances. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, NAI will be entitled to a Construction Allowance, from which
BNPPLC will make Construction Advances on Advance Dates from time to time to pay or reimburse NAI
for the following costs (“Reimbursable Construction Period Costs”) to the extent the following
costs are not already included in Transaction Expenses paid by BNPPLC from the Initial Advance:

     (1) the actual costs and expenses incurred or paid by NAI for the preparation,
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents;

     (2) costs of the Work, including not only hard costs incurred for the new Improvements
described in Exhibit B, but also other the following costs to the extent reasonably
incurred in connection with the Construction Project:

	 	•	 	soft costs payable to third parties (whether or not incurred prior to the
Effective Date), such as legal fees, architectural fees, engineering fees, construction
management fees, transaction management fees and fees and costs paid in connection
with obtaining project permits and approvals required by

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 25

 

 

governmental authorities or any of the Permitted Encumbrances,

	•	 	site preparation costs,
	 
	•	 	costs of offsite and other public improvements required as conditions of
governmental approvals for the Construction Project, and
	 
	•	 	to the extent that funds from the Construction Allowance can be used for such costs
without causing Projected Cost Overruns, the costs of constructing parking lots,
driveways and other improvements on the land subject to the Appurtenant Easements;

     (3) the cost of title insurance in favor of BNPPLC and of maintaining other insurance
required by (and consistent with the requirements of) this Agreement prior to the Completion
Date, and costs of repairing any damage to the Improvements caused by a Pre-lease Casualty
to the extent such costs are not covered by Escrowed Proceeds made available to NAI as
provided herein prior to the Completion Date;

     (4) Local Impositions that accrue or become due prior to the Completion Date;

     (5) reasonable and ordinary out-of-pocket costs of operating and maintaining the
Property prior to the Completion Date in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement;

     (6) Third Party Contract/Termination Fees, not to exceed in the aggregate ten percent
(10%) of the Maximum Construction Allowance, payable by NAI in connection with any Third
Party Contract between NAI and a Person not an Affiliate of NAI because of any election by
NAI to cancel or terminate such contract during a Work/Suspension Period; and

     (7) furniture, trade fixtures and equipment and other tenant improvements to support
NAI’s use and occupancy of the Property for the permitted uses described in subparagraph
2(A) of the Lease, but that are not integral to or affixed in such a manner as to become
part of the Improvements, the aggregate cost of which does not exceed ten percent (10%) of
the Maximum Construction Allowance; provided, that no Construction Advance for furniture and
other items described in this clause will be required of BNPPLC or requested by NAI before
the Construction Project is substantially complete and substantially all other Reimbursable
Construction Period Costs have been paid or
reimbursed from Construction Advances.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 26

 

 

     (B) Exclusions From Reimbursable Construction Period Costs. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, BNPPLC will not be required to make any Construction Advance to
pay or to reimburse or compensate NAI for Covered Construction Period Losses paid by NAI as
provided in subparagraph 10(A) or for any of the following Losses which may be incurred by NAI or
any other party:

     (1) Environmental Losses;

     (2) Losses that would not have been incurred but for any affirmative act taken by NAI
or of any NAI’s contractors or subcontractors, which act is contrary to the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement or to the terms and conditions of the other Operative Documents
(e.g., undertaking a Scope Change without prior authorization of BNPPLC);

     (3) Losses that would not have been incurred but for any fraud, misapplication of
Construction Advances or other funds, illegal acts or willful misconduct on the part of the
NAI or its employees or of any other party acting under NAI’s control or with the approval
or authorization of NAI; and

     (4) Losses that would not have been incurred but for any bankruptcy proceeding
involving NAI.

     (C) Conditions to NAI’s Right to Receive Construction Advances. BNPPLC’s obligation to
provide Construction Advances to NAI from time to time under this Agreement will be subject to the
following terms and conditions, all of which terms and conditions are intended for the sole benefit
of BNPPLC, and none of which will limit in any way the right of BNPPLC to treat costs or
expenditures incurred or paid by or on behalf of BNPPLC as Construction Advances pursuant to
subparagraph 8(A):

     (1) Construction Advance Requests. NAI must make a written request (a
“Construction Advance Request”) for any Construction Advance, specifying the amount of such
advance, at least five Business Days prior to the Advance Date upon which the advance is to
be paid. To be effective for purposes of this Agreement, a Construction Advance Request must
be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C. NAI will not submit more than
one Construction Advance Request in any calendar month.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 27

 

 

     (2) Amount of the Advances.

     (a) The Maximum Construction Allowance. NAI will not be entitled to
require any Construction Advance that would cause the Funded Construction Allowance
to exceed the Maximum Construction Allowance or that would increase the amount of
such excess.

     (b) Costs Previously Incurred by NAI. NAI will not be entitled to
require any Construction Advance that would cause the aggregate of all Construction
Advances to exceed the sum of:

     (i) Reimbursable Construction Period Costs that NAI has, to the
reasonable satisfaction of BNPPLC, substantiated as having been paid or
incurred by NAI other than for Work (e.g., Local Impositions), plus

     (ii) the Reimbursable Construction Period Costs that NAI has, to the
reasonable satisfaction of BNPPLC, substantiated as having been paid or
incurred for Prior Work as of the date of the Construction Advance Request
in which NAI requests the advance.

As used in this Agreement, “Prior Work” means all labor and services actually
performed, and all materials actually delivered to the construction site, in
accordance with this Agreement prior to the date in question as part of the Work,
and “Future Work” means labor and services performed or to be performed, and
materials delivered or to be delivered, on or after the date in question as part of
the Work. For purposes of this Agreement, NAI and BNPPLC intend to allocate
Reimbursable Construction Period Costs between Prior Work and Future Work in a
manner that is generally consistent with the allocations expressed or implied in
construction-related contracts negotiated in good faith between NAI and third
parties not affiliated with NAI (e.g., a general contractor); however, in order to
verify the amount of Reimbursable Construction Period Costs actually paid or
incurred by NAI and the proper allocation thereof between Prior Work and Future
Work, BNPPLC will be entitled (but not required) to: (x) request, receive and review
copies of such agreements between NAI and third parties and of draw requests,
budgets or other supporting documents provided to NAI in connection with or pursuant
to such agreements as evidence of the allocations expressed or implied therein, (y)
from time to time engage one or more independent inspecting architects, certified
public accountants or other appropriate professional consultants and, absent
manifest error, rely without further investigation upon their reports and
recommendations, and (z) without waiving BNPPLC’s right to challenge or verify
allocations required with respect to future Construction

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 28

 

 

Advances, rely without investigation upon the accuracy of NAI’s own Construction
Advance Requests.

     (c) Limits During any Work/Suspension Period. Without limiting the
other terms and conditions imposed by this Agreement for the benefit of BNPPLC with
respect all Construction Advances, BNPPLC will have no obligation to make any
Construction Advance during any Work/Suspension Period that would cause the
aggregate of all Construction Advances to exceed the sum of:

     (i) Reimbursable Construction Period Costs that NAI has, to the
reasonable satisfaction of BNPPLC, substantiated as having been paid or
incurred by NAI other than for Work (e.g., Local Impositions), plus

     (ii) the Reimbursable Construction Period Costs that NAI has, to the
reasonable satisfaction of BNPPLC, substantiated as having been paid or
incurred for Prior Work as of the date the Work/Suspension Period commenced.

For purposes of computing the limits described in this subparagraph 4(C)(2)(c),
Reimbursable Construction Period Costs “other than for Work” will include Third
Party Contract/Termination Fees that qualify as Reimbursable Construction Period
Costs pursuant to subparagraph 4(A)(6). However, as provided in subparagraph
4(A)(6), the amount of such Third Party Contract/Termination Fees subject to
reimbursement will not in any event exceed ten percent (10%) of the Maximum
Construction Allowance. If NAI fails to manage and administer Third Party Contracts
as necessary to ensure that NAI can (at any point in time) terminate all such
contracts without becoming liable for Third Party Contract/Termination Fees in
excess of ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Construction Allowance, then the excess
will be the responsibility of NAI.

     (d) Restrictions Imposed for Administrative Convenience. NAI will not
request any Construction Advance (other than the final Construction Advance NAI
intends to request) for an amount less than $1,000,000.

     (3) No Advances After Certain Dates. BNPPLC will have no obligation to make any
Construction Advance (x) after the last Advance Date, (y) on or after the Designated Sale
Date, or (z) on or after the effective date of any Termination of NAI’s Work pursuant to
subparagraph 7(B) or subparagraph 7(C).

     (D) Breakage Costs for Construction Advances Requested But Not Taken. If NAI
requests but thereafter declines to accept any Construction Advance, or if NAI requests a

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 29

 

 

Construction Advance that it is not permitted to take because of its failure to satisfy any of
the conditions specified in subparagraph 4(C), BNPPLC will be entitled to add any resulting
Breakage Costs to the Outstanding Construction Allowance and the Lease Balance.

     (E) No Third Party Beneficiaries. No contractor or other third party will be entitled
to require BNPPLC to make advances as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing
contained herein or in any of the other Operative Documents will be construed as an agreement
obligating BNPPLC to make advances to anyone other than NAI itself.

     (F) No Waiver. No funding of Construction Advances and no failure of BNPPLC to object
to any Work proposed or performed by or for NAI will constitute a waiver by BNPPLC of the
requirements contained in this Agreement.

5 Application of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.

     (A) Collection and Application Generally. This Paragraph 5 will govern the
application of proceeds received by BNPPLC or NAI from any third party prior to the commencement of
the Term of the Lease (1) under any property insurance policy as a result of damage to the Property
(including proceeds payable under any insurance policy covering the Property which is maintained by
NAI), (2) as compensation for any restriction placed upon the use or development of the Property or
for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, or (3) because of any judgment, decree
or award for injury or damage to the Property (e.g., damage resulting from a third party’s release
of Hazardous Materials onto the Property); excluding, however, any funds paid to BNPPLC by BNPPLC’s
Parent, by an Affiliate of BNPPLC or by any Participant that is made to compensate BNPPLC for any
Losses BNPPLC may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or the Property. NAI will
promptly pay over to BNPPLC any insurance, condemnation or other proceeds covered by this Paragraph
5 which NAI may receive from any insurer, condemning authority or other third party. All proceeds
covered by this Paragraph 5, including those received by BNPPLC from NAI or third parties, will be
applied as follows:

     (1) First, proceeds covered by this Paragraph 5 will be used to reimburse BNPPLC for
any reasonable costs and expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees, that BNPPLC incurred to
collect the proceeds.

     (2) Second, the proceeds remaining after such reimbursement to BNPPLC (the
“Remaining Proceeds”) will be applied, as hereinafter more particularly provided, either as
a Qualified Prepayment or to pay or reimburse NAI or BNPPLC for the actual out-of-pocket
costs of repairing or restoring the Property. Until any Remaining Proceeds received by
BNPPLC are applied by BNPPLC as a Qualified Prepayment or applied by

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 30

 

 

BNPPLC to reimburse costs of repairs to or restoration of the Property pursuant to this
Paragraph 5, BNPPLC will hold and maintain such Remaining Proceeds as Escrowed Proceeds in
an interest bearing account, and all interest earned on such account will be added to and
made a part of such Escrowed Proceeds.

     (B) Advances of Escrowed Proceeds to NAI. Except as otherwise provided below in this
Paragraph 5, BNPPLC will hold all such Escrowed Proceeds until they are advanced to reimburse NAI
for the actual out-of-pocket cost to NAI of repairing or restoring the Property in accordance with
the requirements of this Agreement. BNPPLC will so advance the Escrowed Proceeds as the applicable
repair or restoration, progresses and upon compliance by NAI with such conditions and requirements
as may be reasonably imposed by BNPPLC, including conditions and requirements similar to those that
set forth herein for the payment of Construction Advances. In no event, however, will BNPPLC be
required to pay Escrowed Proceeds to NAI in excess of the actual out-of-pocket cost to NAI of the
applicable repair, restoration or replacement, as evidenced by invoices or other documentation
reasonably satisfactory to BNPPLC.

     (C) Status of Escrowed Proceeds After Commencement of the Term of the Lease. Any
Remaining Proceeds governed by this Paragraph 5 which BNPPLC is continuing to hold as Escrowed
Proceeds when the Term of the Lease commences will be applied in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Lease as if received by BNPPLC immediately after the Term commenced.

     (D) Special Provisions Applicable After a 97-10/Event or Event of Default.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after any 97-10/Event and when any Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, BNPPLC will be entitled to receive and collect all insurance, condemnation or other
proceeds governed by this Paragraph 5 and to apply all Remaining Proceeds, when and in such order
and to such extent deemed appropriate by BNPPLC in its sole discretion, either (A) to the
reimbursement of NAI or BNPPLC for the out-of-pocket cost of repairing or restoring the Property,
or (B) as Qualified Prepayments.

     (E) NAI’s Obligation to Restore. Regardless of the adequacy of any Remaining
Proceeds available to NAI hereunder, if the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty or any
part of the Property is taken by condemnation, NAI must to the maximum extent possible, as part of
the Work, restore the Property or the remainder thereof and continue construction of the
Construction Project on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
provided, however, like other Work, any such restoration and continuation of construction by NAI
will be subject to subparagraphs 7(A) and 7(D), which establish certain rights of NAI to suspend or
discontinue any Work; and, provided further, any additional costs required to complete the
Construction Project resulting from such a casualty or taking prior to the Completion Date will, to
the extent not covered by Remaining Proceeds paid to NAI as provided

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 31

 

 

herein, be subject to reimbursement by BNPPLC as Reimbursable Construction Period Costs on the
same terms and conditions that apply to reimbursements of other costs of the Work hereunder.

     (F) Special Provisions Concerning a Complete Taking. NAI may react to any threat of a
Complete Taking from a governmental authority by exercising NAI’s right to accelerate the
Designated Sale Date (as provided in the definition thereof) and by exercising the Purchase Option
under the Purchase Agreement. By so doing, NAI will put itself in a position to control
condemnation proceedings and to receive all proceeds of the Complete Taking. If, however, NAI does
not buy the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement prior to any Complete Taking, then BNPPLC
will be entitled to receive and retain all amounts paid for the Property in connection with the
Complete Taking, notwithstanding any contrary provision herein or in the other Operative Documents
and notwithstanding that such proceeds may exceed the Lease Balance.

6 Notice of Cost Overruns and Pre-lease Force Majeure Events.

     (A) Notice of Projected Cost Overruns. If, at the time NAI submits any Construction
Advance Request, NAI believes for any reason (including any damage to the Property by fire or other
casualty or any taking of any part of the Property by condemnation) that Projected Cost Overruns
are more likely than not, NAI must state such belief in the Construction Advance Request and, if
NAI can reasonably do so, NAI will estimate the approximate amount of such Projected Cost Overruns.

     (B) Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Events and Notices. NAI may from time to time
provide a notice to BNPPLC in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event Notice”), describing any Pre-lease Force Majeure Event that has occurred or commenced within
the 30 days prior to such notice and setting forth NAI’s preliminary good faith estimate of any
Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays, Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses and Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess
Costs that are likely to result from such event. BNPPLC will have the option to respond to any
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Notice with an FOCB Notice or, alternatively and if applicable, with
an Increased Commitment as provided in subparagraph 7(B)(6).

7 Suspension and Termination of NAI’s Work.

     (A) Rights and Obligations During a Work/Suspension Period. During any Work/Suspension
Period, NAI will have the right to suspend the Work; however, the obligations of NAI which are to
survive any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in subparagraph 7(D) will continue and survive
during any Work/Suspension Period.

     (B) NAI’s Election to Terminate NAI’s Work. NAI may elect to terminate its
rights

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 32

 

 

and obligations to continue Work at any time prior to the Completion Date if at such time NAI
believes in good faith that a Timing or Budget Shortfall exists. As used herein, “Timing or
Budget Shortfall” means that (i) the remaining available Construction Allowance will not be
sufficient to cover Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet to be paid or reimbursed from
Construction Advances (x) because the cost of the Work exceeds budgeted expectations (resulting in
Projected Cost Overruns) through no fault of NAI or its employees or any other party acting under
NAI’s control or with the approval or authorization of NAI, (y) because of any Pre-lease Force
Majeure Event or (z) because NAI can no longer satisfy conditions to BNPPLC’s obligation to provide
further Construction Advances, or (ii) the Work will not be substantially completed prior to the
Target Completion Date through no fault of NAI or its employees or any other party acting under
NAI’s control or with the approval or authorization of NAI. (For the avoidance of doubt, as used
in this subparagraph 7(B) with respect to any party, the term “fault” will not include insufficient
estimation of time or dollars unless shown to be caused by the negligence or wilful misconduct of
such party.) To be effective, however, any such election by NAI must be made in accordance with
the following:

     (1) Any such election by NAI to terminate its rights and obligations to continue the
Work must be made by notice to BNPPLC and the Participants in the form of Exhibit E
(a “Notice of Termination by NAI”).

     (2) At least forty-five days before giving any such Notice of Termination by NAI, NAI
must give a notice of NAI’s intent to terminate to BNPPLC and the Participants in the form
of Exhibit F (a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate”), and the Notice of NAI’s
Intent to Terminate must state the reasons why, in NAI’s good faith determination, the
remaining available Construction Allowance will not be sufficient to cover Reimbursable
Construction Period Costs yet to be paid or reimbursed from Construction Advances or the
Work will not be substantially complete prior to the Target Completion Date, as applicable.

     (3) Without limiting the forgoing, prior to giving any Notice of Termination by NAI
predicated upon NAI’s belief that the remaining available Construction Allowance will not be
sufficient only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs incurred or anticipated as a
result of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event, NAI must — after having notified BNPPLC of the
such event by the delivery of a Notice of Pre-lease Force Majeure Event in accordance with
subparagraph 6(B) — expressly set forth such belief in the Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate as indicated in Exhibit F. In any such Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate, NAI must also specify its good faith estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure
Excess Costs likely to be incurred (“NAI’s Estimate of Force Majeure Excess Costs”).

     (4) Similarly, prior to giving any Notice of Termination by NAI predicated

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 33

 

 

upon NAI’s
belief that the Work will not be substantially complete before the Target Completion Date
only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays resulting from a Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event, NAI must — after having notified BNPPLC of such event by the delivery of a Notice of
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event in accordance with subparagraph 6(B) — expressly set forth
such belief in the Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate as indicated in Exhibit F.
In any such Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate, NAI must also specify its good faith
estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays likely to occur (“NAI’s Estimate of Force
Majeure Delays”).

     (5) As used herein, a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event” means any Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate that sets forth NAI’s belief, by the
optional provisions contemplated in Exhibit F, that either or both: (a) the
remaining available Construction Allowance will not be sufficient only because of Pre-lease
Force Majeure Excess Costs incurred or anticipated as a result of a Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event, or (b) the Work will not be substantially complete before the Target Completion Date
only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays resulting from a Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event. Should any Termination of NAI’s Work occur before NAI sends a Notice of NAI’s Intent
to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event in accordance with this subparagraph (and in
the form attached as Exhibit F), such Termination of NAI’s Work will, for purposes
of determining whether any 97-10/Prepayment may be required pursuant to Paragraph 9, be
conclusively presumed to have occurred for reasons other than a Pre-lease Force Majeure
Event.

     (6) After receipt of any Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate and before receipt of a
Notice of Termination by NAI, BNPPLC may, but will not be obligated to, respond to NAI with
certain commitments as follows (such a response being hereinafter called an “Increased
Commitment”):

     (a) In the case of a Notice of Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event which expresses NAI’s belief that the remaining available Construction
Allowance will not be sufficient only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess
Costs, BNPPLC may respond with a written commitment to increase the Construction
Allowance (an “Increased Funding Commitment”) by an amount equal to NAI’s Estimate
of Force Majeure Excess Costs as set forth in such Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate. Any such Increased Funding Commitment may be in the form of Exhibit
G.

     (b) In the case of a Notice of Intent to Terminate Because of a Force
Majeure Event which expresses NAI’s belief that the Work will not be substantially
complete before the Target Completion Date only because of Pre-lease Force
Majeure Delays, BNPPLC may respond with a written commitment to

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 34

 

 

extend the
Target Completion Date (an “Increased Time Commitment”) by the number of days
included in NAI’s Estimate of Force Majeure Delays as set forth in such Notice of
NAI’s Intent to Terminate. Any such Increased Time Commitment may be in the form of
Exhibit H.

     (c) In the case of a Notice of Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event which expresses NAI’s belief that both (i) the remaining available
Construction Allowance will not be sufficient only because of Pre-lease Force
Majeure Excess Costs and (ii) the Work will not be substantially complete before the
Target Completion Date only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays, BNPPLC may
respond with both an Increased Funding Commitment and an Increased Time Commitment
as provided in the preceding subparagraphs (a) and (b).

     (d) In the case of a Notice of Intent to Terminate which is not a Notice of
Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event (and thus not covered by any of
the preceding subparagraphs (a) through (c)), BNPPLC may require NAI to promptly
provide a good faith estimate of the minimum Increased Funding Commitment or
Increased Time Commitment (or both) reasonably required to eliminate the reasons for
NAI’s delivery of the Notice of Intent to Terminate. After receipt of NAI’s good
faith estimate, BNPPLC may respond with an Increased Funding Commitment or Increased
Time Commitment (or both) consistent with such estimate.

     (7) If BNPPLC does respond to a Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate with an Increased
Commitment, NAI will be entitled to, and will not unreasonably refuse to, rescind such
Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate within ten days after receipt of such Increased
Commitment. To be effective, any such rescission must be by notice to BNPPLC in the form of
Exhibit I. In any event, except as provided in the next subparagraph, the failure
of NAI to so rescind any Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate within ten days after receipt
of the Increased Commitment will, for purposes of determining whether any 97-10/Prepayment
may be required pursuant to Paragraph 9, create a conclusive presumption that any
Termination of NAI’s Work after the date of such response was made for reasons other than a
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.

     (8) For the avoidance of doubt, BNPPLC acknowledges that NAI’s rescission of any Notice
of NAI’s Intent to Terminate (including any Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a
Force Majeure Event) after receipt of an Increased Commitment as described in the preceding
subsection will not preclude NAI from subsequently exercising its rights under this
subparagraph 7(B) in the event NAI subsequently believes
in good faith that a Timing or Budget Shortfall exists.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 35

 

 

Thus, for example, if NAI rescinds a Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a
Force Majeure Event after receiving an Increased Commitment from BNPPLC, but subsequently
determines that such Increased Commitment is insufficient (through no fault of NAI or its
employees or any other party acting under NAI’s control or with the approval or
authorization of NAI) to rectify the Timing or Budget Shortfall which caused NAI to send
such notice, then NAI may deliver a second Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a
Force Majeure Event, and in response thereto BNPPLC may elect to provide yet another
Increased Commitment. Moreover, such process may be repeated any number of times, in each
case without causing NAI to lose its right to subsequently invoke this subparagraph 7(B) and
send yet another Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate (including another Notice of NAI’s
Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event).

     (9) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Complete Taking, NAI may deliver a
Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event that explains the
futility of continuing with the Construction Project on the Land regardless of any
willingness of BNPPLC to approve or consider Scope Changes or an Increased Commitment, and
no offer by BNPPLC of an Increased Commitment after a Complete Taking will preclude a
“Termination of NAI’s Work because of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event” for the purposes of
determining whether NAI must pay a 97-10/Prepayment pursuant to Paragraph 9.

     (C) BNPPLC’s Election to Terminate NAI’s Work. By notice to NAI BNPPLC may elect to
terminate NAI’s rights and obligations to continue the Work at any time (i) more than thirty days
after BNPPLC has given an FOCB Notice to NAI, or (ii) after BNPPLC’s receipt of a Notice of NAI’s
Intent to Terminate and before an election by NAI to rescind the same as described in subparagraph
7(B)(7).

     (D) Surviving Rights and Obligations. Following any Termination of NAI’s Work as
provided in subparagraph 7(B) or in 7(C), NAI will have no obligation to continue or complete any
Work; however, no such Termination of NAI’s Work will reduce or excuse the following rights and
obligations of the parties, it being intended that all such rights and obligations will survive and
continue after any Termination of NAI’s Work:

          (1) NAI’s obligations described in the next subparagraph 7(E);

          (2) the rights and obligations of NAI and BNPPLC under the Ground Lease;

          (3) the rights and obligations of NAI and BNPPLC under the Purchase Agreement, other
than NAI’s Supplemental Payment Obligation

     if it has been terminated
as provided in subparagraph 6(B) of the Purchase Agreement;

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 36

 

 

     (4) any obligations of NAI under the other Operative Documents by reason of any
misrepresentation or other act or omission of NAI that occurred prior to the Termination of
NAI’s Work or during any other period that NAI remains in possession or control of the
Construction Project; and

     (5) NAI’s obligations to indemnify BNPPLC as set forth in subparagraph 10(A).

     (E) Cooperation After a Termination of NAI’s Work. After any Termination of NAI’s
Work as provided in subparagraph 7(B) or subparagraph 7(C), NAI must comply with the following
terms and conditions, all of which will survive notwithstanding any such termination:

     (1) NAI must promptly deliver copies to BNPPLC of all Third Party Contracts and
purchase orders made by NAI in the performance of or in connection with the Work, together
with all plans, drawings, specifications, bonds and other materials relating to the Work in
NAI’s possession, including all papers and documents relating to governmental permits,
orders placed, bills and invoices, lien releases and financial management under this
Agreement. All such deliveries must be made free and clear of any liens, security interests,
or encumbrances, except such as may be created by the Operative Documents.

     (2) Promptly after any request from BNPPLC made with respect to any Third Party
Contract, NAI must deliver a letter confirming: (i) whether NAI has performed any act or
executed any other instrument which invalidates or modifies such contract in whole or in
part (and, if so, the nature thereof); (ii) the extent to which such contract is valid and
subsisting and in full force and effect; (iii) that, to NAI’s knowledge, there are no
defaults or events of default then existing under such contract and, to NAI’s knowledge, no
event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute such a default or event of default (or, if there is a default or potential
default, the nature of such default in detail); (iv) whether the services and construction
contemplated by such contract is proceeding in a satisfactory manner in all material
respects (and if not, a detailed description of all significant problems with the progress
of the services or construction); (v) in reasonable detail the then critical dates projected
by NAI for work and deliveries required by such contract; (vi) the total amount received by
the other party to such contract for work or services provided by the other party through
the date of the letter; (vii) NAI’s good faith estimate of the total cost of completing the
services and work contemplated under such contract as of the date of the letter, together
with any current draw or payment schedule for the contract; and (viii) any other information
BNPPLC may reasonably request to allow it to decide what steps it should take concerning the
contract within BNPPLC’s rights under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 37

 

 

     (3) As and to the extent requested by BNPPLC, NAI will make every reasonable
effort (but without any obligation to incur any expense or liability to do so, unless BNPPLC
agrees to reimburse the same with reasonable promptness) to secure any required consents or
approvals for an assignment of any then existing Third Party Contract to BNPPLC or its
designee, upon terms satisfactory to BNPPLC. To the extent assignable, any then existing
Third Party Contract will be assigned by NAI to BNPPLC upon request, without charge by NAI.

     (4) If NAI has canceled any Third Party Contract before and in anticipation of a
Termination of NAI’s Work, then as and to the extent requested by BNPPLC, NAI must make
every reasonable effort (but without any obligation to incur any expense or liability to do
so, unless BNPPLC agrees to reimburse the same with reasonable promptness) to secure a
reinstatement of such Third Party Contract in favor of BNPPLC and upon terms satisfactory to
BNPPLC.

     (5) For a period not to exceed thirty days after the Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI
must take such steps as are reasonably necessary to preserve and protect Work completed and
in progress and to protect materials, equipment, and supplies at the Property or in transit.
Without regard to the conditions applicable to other payments required of BNPPLC by this
Agreement, BNPPLC must with reasonable promptness reimburse any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by NAI to comply with this subparagraph (5); however, BNPPLC may at any
time or from time to time by notice to NAI limit or terminate such reimbursements as to
expenses incurred after NAI’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter NAI will be excused
from any obligation to incur expenses that BNPPLC may decline to reimburse.

8 Continuation of Construction by BNPPLC.

     (A) Owner’s Election to Continue Construction. Without limiting BNPPLC’s other rights
and remedies under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents, and without terminating NAI’s
surviving obligations under this Agreement or NAI’s obligations under the other Operative
Documents, after any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in subparagraph 7(B) or subparagraph
7(C), BNPPLC will be entitled (but not obligated) to take whatever action it deems necessary or
appropriate by the use of legal proceedings or otherwise to continue or complete the Construction
Project in a manner not substantially inconsistent (to the extent practicable under Applicable
Laws) with the general description of the Construction Project set forth in Exhibit B. (As
used herein, “Owner’s Election to Continue Construction” means any election by BNPPLC to continue
or complete the Construction Project pursuant to the preceding sentence.) After any Owner’s
Election to Continue Construction, BNPPLC may do any one or more of the following pursuant to this
subparagraph without further notice and regardless of whether any breach of this
Agreement by NAI is then continuing:

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 38

 

 

     (1) Take Control of the Property. BNPPLC may cause NAI and any
contractors or other parties on the Property to vacate the Property until the Construction
Project is complete or BNPPLC elects not to continue work on the Construction Project.

     (2) Continuation of Construction. BNPPLC may perform or cause to be performed
any work to complete or continue the construction of the Construction Project. In this
regard, so long as work ordered or undertaken by BNPPLC is not substantially inconsistent
(to the extent practicable under Applicable Laws) with the general description of the
Construction Project set forth in Exhibit B and the permitted use of the Property
set forth in the Lease, BNPPLC will have complete discretion to:

     (a) proceed with construction according to such plans and specifications as
BNPPLC may from time to time approve;

     (b) establish and extend construction deadlines as BNPPLC from time to time
deems appropriate, without obligation to adhere to any deadlines for construction by
NAI set forth in this Agreement;

     (c) hire, fire and replace architects, engineers, contractors, construction
managers and other consultants as BNPPLC from time to time deems appropriate,
without obligation to use, consider or compensate architects, engineers,
contractors, construction managers or other consultants previously selected or
engaged by NAI;

     (d) determine the compensation that any architect, engineer, contractor,
construction manager or other consultant engaged by BNPPLC will be paid, and the
terms and conditions that will govern the payment of such compensation (including
whether payment will be due in advance, over the course of construction or on some
other basis and including whether contracts will be let on a fixed price basis, a
cost plus a fee basis or some other basis), as BNPPLC from time to time reasonably
deems appropriate;

     (e) pay, settle or compromise existing or future bills and claims which are or
may be liens against the Property or as BNPPLC reasonably considers necessary or
desirable for the completion of the Construction Project or the removal of any
clouds on title to the Property;

     (f) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the
construction of the Construction Project;

     (g) select and change interior and exterior finishes for the

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 39

 

 

Improvements and landscaping as BNPPLC from time to time deems appropriate; and

     (h) generally do anything that NAI itself might have done if NAI had satisfied
or obtained BNPPLC’s waiver of the conditions specified therein.

     (3) Arrange for Turnkey Construction. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, BNPPLC may engage any contractor or real estate developer BNPPLC believes to be
reputable to take over and complete construction of the Construction Project on a “turnkey”
basis.

     (4) Suspension or Termination of Construction by BNPPLC. Notwithstanding any
Owner’s Election to Continue Construction, BNPPLC may subsequently elect at any time to
suspend or terminate further construction without obligation to NAI.

For purposes of the Operative Documents (including the determination of the Outstanding
Construction Allowance, the Lease Balance and the Break Even Price), after any Owner’s Election to
Continue Construction, all costs and expenditures incurred or paid by or on behalf of BNPPLC to
complete or continue construction as provided in this subparagraph 8(A) will be considered
Construction Advances, regardless of whether they cause the Funded Construction Allowance to exceed
the Maximum Construction Allowance. Further, as used in the preceding sentence, “costs incurred” by
BNPPLC will include costs that BNPPLC has become obligated to pay to any third party that is not an
Affiliate of BNPPLC (including any construction contractor), even if the payments for which BNPPLC
has become so obligated constitute prepayments for work or services to be rendered after payment
and notwithstanding that BNPPLC’s obligations for the payments may be conditioned upon matters
beyond BNPPLC’s control. For example, even if a construction contract between BNPPLC and a
contractor excuses BNPPLC from making further progress payments to the contractor upon NAI’s
failure to make any required 97-10/Prepayment under the Purchase Agreement, the obligation to make
a progress payment would nonetheless be “incurred” by BNPPLC, for purposes of determining whether
BNPPLC has incurred costs considered to be 97-10/Project Costs and Construction Advances, when
BNPPLC’s obligation to pay it became subject only to NAI’s payment of a 97-10/Prepayment or other
conditions beyond BNPPLC’s control.

     (B) Powers Coupled With an Interest. BNPPLC’s rights under subparagraph 8(A) are
intended to constitute powers coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked.

9 NAI’s Obligation for 97-10/Prepayments. After any 97-10/Event NAI must make a
97-10/Prepayment to BNPPLC within three Business Days after receipt from BNPPLC of any demand for
such a payment. BNPPLC may demand 97-10/Prepayments pursuant to this
Paragraph at any time and from time to time (as 97-10/Project Costs increase) after a

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 40

 

 

97-10/Event.
NAI acknowledges that it is undertaking the obligation to make 97-10/Prepayments as provided in
this Paragraph in consideration of the rights afforded to it by this Agreement, but that such
obligation is not contingent upon any exercise by NAI of such rights or upon its rights under any
other Operative Documents. If a 97-10/Event does occur, NAI’s obligation to make 97-10/Prepayments
as provided in this Paragraph will survive any Termination of NAI’s Work.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 9, if (as provided in subparagraph 7(B))
NAI effectively makes the election for a Termination of NAI’s Work because of a Pre-lease Force
Majeure Event that resulted in Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Repair Costs or Pre-lease Force
Majeure Delays, then NAI will be excused from the obligation to make 97-10/Prepayments until such
time (if ever) that BNPPLC itself completes the Construction Project or causes it to be completed
as BNPPLC is authorized to do by subparagraph 8(A).

10 Indemnity for Covered Construction Period Losses.

     (A) Covenant to Indemnify Against Covered Construction Period Losses. Subject to the
qualifications in subparagraph 10(B), as directed by BNPPLC, NAI must indemnify and defend BNPPLC
from and against all of the following Losses (“Covered Construction Period Losses”):

     (1) Losses suffered or incurred by BNPPLC, directly or indirectly, relating to or
arising out of, based on or as a result of any of the following which occurs or is alleged
to have occurred prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work: (i) any Hazardous Substance
Activity; (ii) any violation of any applicable Environmental Laws relating to the Land or
the Property or to the ownership, use, occupancy or operation thereof; (iii) any
investigation, inquiry, order, hearing, action, or other proceeding by or before any
governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority in connection with any Hazardous
Substance Activity; or (iv) any claim, demand, cause of action or investigation, or any
action or other proceeding, whether meritorious or not, brought or asserted against BNPPLC
which directly or indirectly relates to, arises from, is based on, or results from any of
the matters described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of this provision or any allegation of
any such matters;

     (2) Losses incurred or suffered by BNPPLC that BNPPLC would not have incurred or
suffered but for any act or any omission of NAI or of any NAI’s contractors or
subcontractors during the period prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in
subparagraphs 7(B) and 7(C) or during any other period that NAI remains in possession or
control of the Construction Project (including any failure by NAI to obtain or maintain
insurance as required by this Agreement during such periods; but excluding, however, as
described below, certain Losses consisting of claims related to any failure of NAI to

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 41

 

 

complete the Construction Project);

     (3) Losses incurred or suffered by BNPPLC that would not have been incurred but for any
fraud, misapplication of funds (including Construction Advances), illegal acts, or willful
misconduct on the part of the NAI or its employees or of any other party acting under NAI’s
control or with the approval or authorization of NAI; and

     (4) Losses incurred or suffered by BNPPLC that would not have been incurred but for any
bankruptcy proceeding involving NAI.

NAI’s obligations under this indemnity will apply whether or not BNPPLC is also indemnified as to
the applicable Covered Construction Period Loss by any third party (including another Interested
Party) and whether or not the Covered Construction Period Loss arises or accrues prior to the
Effective Date. Further, in the event, for income tax purposes, BNPPLC must include in its taxable
income any payment or reimbursement from NAI which is required by this indemnity (in this
provision, the “Original Indemnity Payment”), and yet BNPPLC is not entitled during the same
taxable year to a corresponding and equal deduction from its taxable income for the Covered
Construction Period Loss paid or reimbursed by such Original Indemnity Payment (in this provision,
the “Corresponding Loss”), then NAI must also pay to BNPPLC on demand the additional amount (in
this provision, the “Additional Indemnity Payment”) needed to gross up the Original Indemnity
Payment for any and all resulting additional income taxes. That is, NAI must pay an Additional
Indemnity Payment as is needed so that the Corresponding Loss (computed net of the reduction, if
any, of BNPPLC’s income taxes because of credits or deductions that are attributable to the
BNPPLC’s payment or deemed payment of the Corresponding Loss and that are recognized for tax
purposes in the same taxable year during which BNPPLC must recognize the Original Indemnity Payment
as income) will not exceed the difference computed by subtracting (i) all income taxes (determined
for this purpose based on the highest marginal income tax rates applicable to corporations for the
relevant period or periods and the highest applicable state or local marginal rates of such taxing
authority applicable to corporations for the relevant period or periods) imposed upon BNPPLC with
respect to the Original Indemnity Payment and the Additional Indemnity Payment, from (ii) the sum
of the Original Indemnity Payment and the Additional Indemnity Payment. (With regard to any
payment or reimbursement of an Original Indemnity Payment, “After Tax Basis” means that such
payment or reimbursement is or will be made together with the additional amount needed to gross up
such Original Indemnity Payment as described in this provision.)

     (B) Certain Losses Included or Excluded.

     (1) Environmental. As used in clause (1) of the preceding subparagraph 10(A),
“Losses” will not include costs properly incurred in connection with the Work to prevent the
occurrence of a violation of Environmental Laws that did not

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 42

 

 

previously exist. (For example, Environmental Losses will not include the increase in
costs resulting from NAI’s installation of fire proofing materials other than asbestos
because of Environmental Laws that prohibit the use of asbestos.) However, any costs to
correct or answer for any violation of Environmental Laws that occurred on or prior to the
Effective Date or that NAI causes or permits to occur after the Effective Date in connection
with the Work or the Property will constitute Environmental Losses. (Thus, for instance, if
NAI releases Hazardous Materials from the Property in a manner that contaminates ground
water in violation of Environmental Laws, the costs of correcting the contamination and any
applicable fines or penalties will constitute Environmental Losses for which NAI must
indemnify and defend BNPPLC pursuant to subparagraph 10(A).)

     (2) Failure to Maintain a Safe Work Site. If a third party asserts a claim for damages
against BNPPLC because of injuries the third party sustained while on the Land as a result
of NAI’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement to keep the Land and the
Improvements thereon in a reasonably safe condition as Work progresses under NAI’s direction
and control, then any such claim and other Losses resulting from such claim will constitute
Covered Construction Period Losses under clause (b) of the definition of Covered
Construction Period Losses in subparagraph 10(A).

     (3) Failure to Complete Construction. Additional costs of construction may result from
NAI’s failure to complete the Construction Project if a Termination of NAI’s Work occurs
pursuant to subparagraphs 7(B) and 7(C). Nevertheless, it is understood that a failure of
NAI to complete the Construction Project following any such Termination of NAI’s Work will
not necessarily constitute a breach of this Agreement, and clause (b) of subparagraph 10(A)
will not include any such additional costs of performing the Work or the cost to BNPPLC of
completing the Construction Project after the Termination of NAI’s Work. (Such costs may,
however, qualify as 97-10/Project Costs and thus increase the 97-10/Maximum Permitted
Prepayment.)

     (4) Fraud. As used in clause (3) of subparagraph 10(A), “fraud” or “willful
misconduct” will include (i) any deliberate decision by NAI to make a Scope Change without
BNPPLC’s prior written approval, (ii) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by NAI, or
its vendors, contractors or subcontractors regarding NAI’s ongoing compliance with the
requirements of this Agreement, and (iii) the performance by NAI or its vendors, contractors
or subcontractors of Defective Work, with NAI’s knowledge that it constitutes Defective
Work, prior to any Termination of NAI’s Work as provided in subparagraphs 7(B) and 7(C).

     (5) Excluded Taxes and Established Misconduct. Nothing in this subparagraph 10
or other provisions of this Agreement will be construed to require
NAI

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 43

 

 

to reimburse or pay Excluded Taxes or Losses incurred or suffered by BNPPLC that are
proximately caused by (and attributed by any applicable principles of comparative fault
to) the Established Misconduct of BNPPLC.

     (C) Express Negligence Protection. Every release provided in this Agreement for
BNPPLC or any other Interested Party, and the indemnity provided for the benefit of BNPPLC in the
preceding subparagraph 10(A), will apply even if and when the subject matters thereof are alleged
to be caused by or to arise out of the negligence or strict liability of BNPPLC or another
Interested Party. Further, all such releases and the indemnity will apply even if insurance
obtained by NAI or required of NAI by this Agreement is not adequate to cover Losses against or for
which the releases and the indemnity are provided (although NAI’s liability for any failure to
obtain insurance required by this Agreement will not be limited to Losses against which indemnity
is provided, it being understood that the parties have agreed upon insurance requirements for
reasons that extend beyond providing a source of payment for Losses against which BNPPLC may be
indemnified by NAI).

     (D) Survival of Indemnity. NAI’s obligations under this subparagraph 10 will survive
the termination or expiration of this Agreement and any Termination of NAI’s Work with respect to
Losses suffered by BNPPLC resulting or arising from events or circumstances which existed or
occurred or are alleged to have existed or occurred prior to the Termination of NAI’s Work or
during any other period that NAI remains in possession or control of the Construction Project,
whether such Losses are asserted, suffered or paid before or after the Termination of NAI’s Work.

     (E) Due Date for Indemnity Payments. Any amount to be paid by NAI under this
subparagraph 10 will be due fifteen days after a notice requesting such payment is received by NAI.
Any such amount not paid by NAI when first due will bear interest at the Default Rate in effect
from time to time from the date it first became due until paid; provided, that nothing herein
contained will be construed as permitting the charging or collection of interest at a rate
exceeding the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Laws.

     (F) Order of Application of Payments. BNPPLC will be entitled to apply any payments
by or on behalf of NAI against NAI’s obligations under this subparagraph or against other amounts
owing by NAI and then past due under any of the other Operative Documents in the order the same
became due or in such other order as BNPPLC may elect.

     (G) Defense of BNPPLC.

     (1) Assumption of Defense. By notice to NAI BNPPLC may direct NAI to assume on
behalf of BNPPLC and to conduct with due diligence and in good faith the defense of and the
response to any claim, proceeding or investigation included in or

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 44

 

 

concerning any Covered
Construction Period Loss. NAI must promptly comply with any
such direction using counsel selected by NAI and reasonably satisfactory to BNPPLC to
represent BNPPLC. In the event NAI fails to promptly comply with any such direction from
BNPPLC, BNPPLC may contest or settle the claim, proceeding or investigation using counsel of
its own selection at NAI’s expense, subject only to subparagraph 10(K) if that subparagraph
is applicable.

     (2) Indemnity Not Contingent. Also, although subparagraphs 10(K) and 10(L) will apply
to tort claims asserted against BNPPLC related to the Property, the right of BNPPLC to be
indemnified pursuant to subparagraph 10(A) for payments made to satisfy governmental
requirements (“Government Mandated Payments”) (e.g., fines payable because of any release of
Hazardous Materials from the Property) will not be conditioned in any way upon NAI having
consented to or approved of, or having been provided with an opportunity to defend against
or contest, such Government Mandated Payments. In all cases, however, including those which
may involve Government Mandated Payments, the rights of BNPPLC to be indemnified will be
subject to subparagraph 10(M).

     (H) When Payments Are Due. Any amount to be paid by NAI under subparagraph 10(A) will
be due ten days after a notice requesting such payment is given to NAI, subject to any applicable
contest rights expressly granted to NAI by other provisions of this Agreement.

     (I) Survival. NAI’s obligations under subparagraph 10(A) will survive the termination
or expiration of this Agreement and any Termination of NAI’s Work Lease.

     (J) Notice of Claims. If BNPPLC receives a written notice of a claim for taxes or a
claim alleging a tort or other unlawful conduct that BNPPLC believes is covered by the indemnity in
subparagraph 10(A), then BNPPLC will be expected to promptly furnish a copy of such notice to NAI.
The failure to so provide a copy of the notice will not excuse NAI from its obligations under
subparagraph 10(A); except that if such failure continues for more than fifteen days after the
notice is received by BNPPLC and NAI is unaware of the matters described in the notice, with the
result that NAI is unable to assert defenses or to take other actions which could minimize its
obligations, then NAI will be excused from its obligation to indemnify BNPPLC against the Covered
Construction Period Losses, if any, which would not have been incurred or suffered but for such
failure. For example, if BNPPLC fails to provide NAI with a copy of a notice of an overdue tax
obligation covered by the indemnity set out in subparagraph 10(A) and NAI is not otherwise already
aware of such obligation, and if as a result of such failure BNPPLC becomes liable for penalties
and interest covered by the indemnity in excess of the penalties and interest that would have
accrued if NAI had been promptly provided with a copy of the notice, then NAI will be excused from
any obligation to BNPPLC (or any Affiliate of BNPPLC) to pay the excess.

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 45

 

 

     (K) Withholding of Consent to Settlements Proposed by NAI. With regard to any
tort claim against BNPPLC for which NAI undertakes to defend BNPPLC as provided in
subparagraph 10(G)(1), if BNPPLC unreasonably refuses to consent to a settlement of the claim
which is proposed by NAI and which will meet the conditions listed in the next sentence, NAI’s
liability for the cost of continuing the defense and for any other amounts payable in respect of
the claim will be limited to the total cost for which the settlement proposed by NAI would have
been accomplished but for the unreasonable refusal to consent. Any such settlement proposed by
NAI must meet the following conditions: (A) at the time of the settlement by NAI, NAI must pay all
amounts required to release BNPPLC and other affected Interested Parties (if any) and their
property interests from any further obligation for or liens securing the applicable claim and from
any interest, penalties and other related liabilities, and (B) the settlement or compromise must
not involve an admission of fraud or criminal wrongdoing or result in some other material adverse
consequence to BNPPLC or any other Interested Party.

     (L) Settlements Without the Prior Consent of NAI.

     (1) Election to Pay Reasonable Settlement Costs in Lieu of Actual. Except as otherwise
provided in subparagraph 10(L)(2), if BNPPLC settles any tort claim for which it is entitled
to be indemnified by NAI without NAI’s consent, then NAI may, by notice given to BNPPLC no
later than ten days after NAI is notified of the settlement, elect to pay Reasonable
Settlement Costs to BNPPLC in lieu of a payment or reimbursement of actual settlement costs.
(With respect to any tort claim asserted against BNPPLC, “Reasonable Settlement Costs”
means the maximum amount that a prudent Person in the position of BNPPLC, but able to pay
any amount, might reasonably agree to pay to settle the tort claim, taking into account the
nature and amount of the claim, the relevant facts and circumstances known to BNPPLC at the
time of settlement and the additional Attorneys Fees’ and other costs of defending the claim
which could be anticipated but for the settlement.) After making an election to pay
Reasonable Settlement Costs with regard to a particular tort claim, NAI will have no right
to rescind or revoke the election, despite any subsequent determination that Reasonable
Settlement Costs exceed actual settlement costs. It is understood that Reasonable
Settlement Costs may be more or less than actual settlement costs and that a final
determination of Reasonable Settlement Costs may not be possible until after NAI must decide
between paying Reasonable Settlement Costs or paying actual settlement costs.

     (2) Conditions to Election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NAI will have no right to
elect to pay Reasonable Settlement Costs in lieu of actual settlement costs if BNPPLC
settles claims without NAI’s consent at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing or after a failure by NAI to conduct with due diligence and in good faith the
defense of and the response to any claim, proceeding or investigation as provided in
subparagraph 10(G)(1).

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 46

 

 

     (3) Indemnity Survives Settlement. Except as provided in this subparagraph
10(L), no settlement by BNPPLC of any claim made against it will excuse NAI from any
obligation to indemnify BNPPLC against the settlement costs or other Covered
Construction Period Losses suffered by reason of, in connection with, arising out of, or in
any way related to such claim.

     (M) No Authority to Admit Wrongdoing on the Part of NAI. BNPPLC will not under any
circumstances have any authority to bind NAI to an admission of wrongdoing or responsibility to any
third party claimant with regard to matters for which BNPPLC claims a right to indemnification from
NAI under this Agreement.

Further, nothing herein contained, including the foregoing provisions concerning settlements by
BNPPLC of indemnified Losses, will be construed as authorizing BNPPLC to bind NAI to do or refrain
from doing anything to satisfy a third party claimant. If, for example, a claim is made by a
Governmental Authority that NAI must refrain from some particular conduct on or about the Land in
order to comply with Applicable Laws, BNPPLC cannot bind NAI (and will not purport to bind NAI) to
any agreement to refrain from such conduct or otherwise prevent NAI from continuing to contest the
claim by reason of any provision set forth herein.

Moreover, so long as this Agreement or the Lease continues, BNPPLC’s right to settle any claim
involving the Property will not include the right to bind NAI to any agreement (including any
consent decree proposed by any Governmental Authority) which purports to prohibit, limit or impose
conditions upon any use of the Property by NAI without the prior written consent of NAI. In the
case of any proposed settlement of a claim asserted by a Governmental Authority against BNPPLC, NAI
will not unreasonably withhold such consent. However, for purposes of determining whether it is
reasonable for NAI to withhold such consent, any diligent ongoing undertaking by NAI to contest
such the claim on behalf of BNPPLC will be relevant.

Subject to the foregoing provisions in this subparagraph 10(M), BNPPLC may agree for itself (and
only for itself) to act or refrain from doing anything as demanded or requested by a third party
claimant; provided, however, in no event will such an agreement impede NAI from continuing to
exercise its rights to operate its business on the Property or elsewhere in any lawful manner
deemed appropriate by NAI, nor will any such agreement limit or impede NAI’s right to contest
claims raised by any third party claimants (including Governmental Authorities) that NAI is not
complying or has not complied with Applicable Laws.

     (N) Refunds of Covered Construction Period Losses Paid by NAI.

     (1) Payment by BNPPLC After Refund. If BNPPLC receives a refund of any Covered
Construction Period Losses paid, reimbursed or advanced by NAI pursuant to subparagraph
10(A), BNPPLC will promptly pay to NAI the amount of such refund, plus

 

Construction Management Agreement — Page 47

 

 

or minus any net tax
benefits or detriments realized by BNPPLC as a result of such refund and such payment to
NAI; provided, that the amount payable to NAI will not exceed the
amount of the indemnity payment in respect of such refunded Covered Construction Period
Losses that was made by NAI. If it is subsequently determined that BNPPLC was not entitled
to such refund, the portion of such refund that is repaid or recaptured will be treated as a
Covered Construction Period Loss for which NAI must indemnify BNPPLC pursuant to
subparagraph 10(A) without regard to subparagraph 10(B)(5). If, in connection any such
refund, BNPPLC also receives an amount representing interest on such refund, BNPPLC will
promptly pay to NAI the amount of such interest, plus or minus any net tax benefits or
detriments realized by BNPPLC as a result of the receipt or accrual of such interest and as
a result of the such payment to NAI; provided, that BNPPLC will not be required to make any
such payment in respect of the interest (if any) that is fairly attributable to a period
before NAI paid, reimbursed or advanced the Covered Construction Period Losses refunded to
BNPPLC.

     (2) Meaning of Refund. With respect to Covered Construction Period Losses incurred or
suffered by BNPPLC and paid or reimbursed by NAI on an After Tax Basis, if taxes of BNPPLC
which are not subject to indemnification by NAI are reduced because of such Losses (whether
by reason of a deduction, credit or otherwise) and such reduction was not taken into account
in the calculation of the required reimbursement or payment by NAI, then for purposes of
this subparagraph 10(N) such reduction will be considered a “refund”.

     (3) Conditions to Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will BNPPLC be
required to make any payment to NAI pursuant to this subparagraph 10(N) after any
97-10/Event or when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

estimates the same at $___.]

III. Construction Advances Covering Pre-lease Force Majeure Losses:

Attention: Lloyd G. Cox, Managing Director

     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 14, 2006 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”), between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation

Gentlemen:

     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Construction Management Agreement referenced above or in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement referenced in the Construction Management Agreement.

     IMPORTANT: It is imperative that BNPPLC promptly review with legal counsel the ramifications
of this notice under the Construction Management Agreement and other Operative Documents.

     This letter constitutes a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Notice, given as provided in
subparagraph 6(B) of the Construction Management Agreement to preserve the right of NAI to assert
the occurrence of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.

Notice of Termination of NAI’s Work

[Date]

BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation

Attention: Lloyd G. Cox, Managing Director

     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 14, 2006 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”), between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation

Gentlemen:

     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Construction Management Agreement referenced above or in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement referenced in the Construction Management Agreement.

     IMPORTANT: It is imperative that BNPPLC promptly review with legal counsel the ramifications
of this notice under the Construction Management Agreement and other Operative Documents.

     NAI has determined that the Construction Allowance to be provided to it under the Construction
Management Agreement will not be sufficient to cover all Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet
to be paid or reimbursed from Construction Advances for the reason or reasons set forth in the
Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate dated ___, 200___, previously delivered to you as provided
in subparagraph 7(B) of the Construction Management Agreement. That Notice of NAI’s Intent to
Terminate has not been rescinded by NAI.

     NAI hereby irrevocably and unconditionally elects to terminate its rights and obligations to
continue the Work under Construction Management Agreement effective as of the date of this letter
(which, as required by subparagraph 7(B) of the Construction Management Agreement, is a date not
less than forty-five days after the date the aforementioned Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate).
This notice constitutes a “Notice of Termination by NAI” as described in subparagraph 7(B) of the
Construction Management Agreement.

     NAI also acknowledges that a 97-10/Event has occurred under and as defined in the Construction
Management Agreement, and that BNPPLC is thus entitled to demand and receive 97-10/Prepayments
under and as provided in Paragraph 9 of that agreement.

Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate

[Date]

BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation

12201 Merit Drive, Suite 860

Dallas, Texas 75251

Attention: Lloyd G. Cox, Managing Director

     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 14, 2006 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”) between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation

Gentlemen:

     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Construction Management Agreement referenced above or in the Common Definitions and Provisions
Agreement referenced in the Construction Management Agreement.

     IMPORTANT: It is imperative that BNPPLC promptly review with legal counsel the ramifications
of this notice under the Construction Management Agreement and other Operative Documents.

 

[DRAFTING NOTE: Unless this letter contains the alternative provisions set forth below as being
required after a Complete Taking in any “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force
Majeure Event,” this letter must contain the following paragraph and inserts following such
paragraph as indicated:

     NAI has determined that the Construction Allowance to be provided to it under the Construction
Management Agreement will not be sufficient to cover all Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet
to be paid or reimbursed from Construction Advances, because:

[INSERT ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS THAT APPLY: (1) THE
COST OF THE WORK EXCEEDS BUDGETED EXPECTATIONS (RESULTING IN
PROJECTED COST OVERRUNS), (2) A PRE-LEASE FORCE MAJEURE EVENT, OR
(3) NAI CAN NO LONGER SATISFY CONDITIONS TO BNPPLC’S OBLIGATION TO
PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION ADVANCES IN THE
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.]

 

 

 

     The purpose of this letter is to give notice to BNPPLC and Participants of NAI’s intent to
terminate NAI’s rights and obligations to perform Work under the Construction Management Agreement.
This letter constitutes a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate” given pursuant to subparagraph
7(B) of the Construction Management Agreement. As provided in that subparagraph, as a condition to
any effective Termination of NAI’s Work, NAI must deliver a subsequent notice of termination to
BNPPLC and Participants, no less than forty-five days after the date BNPPLC receives this letter.

 

[DRAFTING NOTE: Unless this letter contains the alternative provisions set forth below as being
required for any “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event,” this
letter must contain the following paragraph:

     The period running from the date of BNPPLC’s receipt of this letter to the effective date of
any actual Termination of NAI’s Work by NAI or BNPPLC will constitute a Work/Suspension Period
under the Construction Management Agreement. During such period BNPPLC’s funding obligations will
be limited and NAI may suspend the Work to the extent so provided in the Construction Management
Agreement. Moreover, NAI acknowledges that the delivery of this Notice of Intent to Terminate is a
97-10/Event. Therefore, after receipt of this notice BNPPLC will have the rights to demand and
receive 97-10/Prepayments from NAI as provided in Paragraph 9 of the Construction Management
Agreement.]

[DRAFTING NOTE: This letter will qualify as a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a
Force Majeure Event” only if NAI includes one of the following alternative sets of provisions, as
applicable.]

[ALTERNATIVE #1 (Applies only if there has been a Complete Taking):

     This letter constitutes a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event” as defined in the Construction Management Agreement. A Complete Taking has occurred. Thus,
regardless of any Scope Changes BNPPLC may be willing to approve or consider, and regardless of any
Increased Commitment BNPPLC may be willing to provide, it would be futile to continue the
Construction Project on the Land.

     NAI acknowledges and agrees that BNPPLC is entitled to all proceeds of the taking of
the Property and all such proceeds must be paid to BNPPLC. NAI has no right and will not assert
any right to share in such proceeds. NAI agrees to cooperate with BNPPLC as BNPPLC may

 

Exhibit F to Construction Management Agreement — Page 2

 

 

from time to time request in order to maximize BNPPLC’s recovery of such proceeds.]

[ALTERNATIVE #2 (applies in the event of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event other than a Complete
Taking): Include the next (single sentence) paragraph, together with one or both (as applicable)
of the two paragraphs following the next (single sentence) paragraph, and together with the
remaining paragraphs after those two paragraphs, all with blanks filled in appropriately:

     This letter constitutes a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure
Event” as defined in the Construction Management Agreement.

     NAI now believes that the remaining available Construction Allowance will not be sufficient to
cover all Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet to be paid or reimbursed from Construction
Advances only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs incurred or anticipated as a result
of one or more Pre-lease Force Majeure Events. BNPPLC has previously been notified of such
Pre-lease Force Majeure Event(s) by notice(s) dated ___, which NAI delivered to BNPPLC in
accordance with subparagraph 6(B) of the Construction Management Agreement. NAI’s current good
faith estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs that are most likely to be incurred
because of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event(s) is $___.

     NAI now believes that the Work will not be substantially complete before the Target Completion
Date only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays resulting from one or more Pre-lease Force
Majeure Events. BNPPLC has previously been notified of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event(s) by
notice(s) dated ___, which NAI delivered to BNPPLC in accordance with subparagraph 6(B) of
the Construction Management Agreement. NAI’s current good faith estimate of the Pre-lease Force
Majeure Delays that are most likely to occur because of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event(s) is
___ days.

     Also be advised that, as provided in subparagraph 7(B) of the Construction Management
Agreement, BNPPLC is entitled to (but not obligated to) respond to this notice with an Increased
Commitment. Responding with an Increased Commitment will result in a conclusive presumption (for
purposes of calculating any 97-10/Prepayment required of NAI under the Purchase Agreement) that any
Termination of NAI’s Work is for reasons other than the Pre-lease Force Majeure Events of which
BNPPLC has previously been notified.

     In the event BNPPLC fails to respond with an Increased Commitment, the failure may
excuse NAI from the obligation to make a 97-10/Prepayment under Paragraph 5 of the Construction
Management Agreement notwithstanding any Termination of NAI’s Work, which would constitute a very
material adverse consequence to BNPPLC. Moreover, the Construction Management Agreement grants to
NAI a right to cause a Termination of NAI’s

Work at any time more than forty-five days after giving this notice, provided that NAI
continues
to believe that the Construction Allowance is insufficient at that time. Thus, if BNPPLC
intends to respond with an Increased Commitment, BNPPLC would be well advised to do so before the
expiration of such forty-five day period.]

Notice of Increased Funding Commitment by BNPPLC

     Re: Construction Management Agreement dated as of December 14, 2006 (the “Construction
Management Agreement”) between Network Appliance, Inc. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation, and BNP
Paribas Leasing Corporation (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation

Gentlemen:

     Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in
the Construction Management Agreement or in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement
referenced in the Construction Management Agreement.

     NAI has delivered a notice to BNPPLC dated ___, 20___, which by its terms expressed NAI’s
intent that it constitute a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event”
as defined in the Construction Management Agreement. In such notice, NAI advised BNPPLC of NAI’s
intent to terminate the Construction Management Agreement because of NAI’s belief that the
Construction Allowance to be provided to it under the Construction Management Agreement will not be
sufficient to cover all Reimbursable Construction Period Costs yet to be paid or reimbursed from
Construction Advances. Such notice also expressed NAI’s belief that, but for the cost of repairing
damage to the Improvements caused by a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event, the remaining available
Construction Allowance would be sufficient. In addition, such notice set forth the amount of
$___ as NAI’s estimate of the Pre-lease Force Majeure Excess Costs most likely to be
incurred because of such Pre-lease Force Majeure Event.

     This response to such notice constitutes an Increased Funding Commitment. BNPPLC hereby
commits to increase the amount of the Construction Allowance by
$___ (the estimate given by
NAI as described above). Such commitment is made on and subject to all of the same terms and
conditions set forth in the Construction Management Agreement and other Operative Documents as
being applicable to the original Construction Allowance and to Construction Advances required
thereunder.

     Please note that, according to the Construction Management Agreement, NAI will have
ten days after the date of any Increased Commitment (which may be comprised of this Increased
Funding Commitment and any separate Increased Time Commitment given contemporaneously

 

 

herewith) within which NAI may rescind the aforementioned Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate
Because of a Force Majeure Event by a notice given in the form prescribed by the Construction
Management Agreement. Any failure of NAI to so rescind the notice will constitute a 97-10/Event
under and as defined in the Construction Management Agreement and will result in a conclusive
presumption (for purposes of calculating any 97-10/Prepayment required of NAI) that any Termination
of NAI’s Work occurred for reasons other than the Pre-lease Force Majeure Events of which BNPPLC
has previously been notified.

     NAI has delivered a notice to BNPPLC dated ___, 20___, which by its terms expressed NAI’s
intent that it constitute a “Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force Majeure Event”
as defined in the Construction Management Agreement. In such notice, NAI advised BNPPLC of NAI’s
intent to elect a Termination of NAI’s Work because of NAI’s belief that the Work will not be
substantially complete prior to the Target Completion Date only because of Pre-lease Force Majeure
Delays. Such notice also expressed NAI’s belief that Pre-lease Force Majeure Delays are likely to
be ___ days in the aggregate.

     This response to such notice constitutes an Increased Time Commitment. BNPPLC hereby commits
to extend the Target Completion Date by ___ days (the estimate given by NAI as described
above).

     Please note that, according to the Construction Management Agreement, NAI will have ten days
after the date of any Increased Commitment (which may be comprised of this Increased Time
Commitment and any separate Increased Funding Commitment given contemporaneously herewith) within
which NAI may rescind the aforementioned Notice of NAI’s Intent to Terminate Because of a Force
Majeure Event by a notice given in the form prescribed by the Construction Management Agreement.
Any failure of NAI to so rescind the notice will constitute a 97-10/Event under and as defined in
the Construction Management Agreement and will result in a conclusive presumption (for purposes of
calculating any 97-10/Prepayment required of NAI) that any Termination of NAI’s Work occurred for
reasons other than the Pre-lease Force Majeure
Events of which BNPPLC has previously been notified.
