contribution to Mortgage Borrower in order to cause Mortgage Borrower to use such amounts for any
use permitted pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (b) to pay the costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the closing of the Loan and (c) to distribute the balance, if any, to Borrower’s
member(s).

     SECTION 2.3 The Note and the other Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note
and this Agreement and secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan
Documents.

     SECTION 2.4 Intentionally Omitted.

     SECTION 2.5 Interest Rate.

     (a) Generally, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the
Closing Date up to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.

     (b) Intentionally Omitted.

     (c) Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the
Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure
periods contained herein.

     (d) Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan
shall accrue at the Interest Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis. Borrower acknowledges that
interest calculated on an Actual/360 Basis exceeds interest calculated on a 30/360 Basis and,
therefore: (i) a greater portion of each monthly installment of principal (if applicable) and
interest will be applied to interest using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest
accrued on a 30/360 Basis and (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date
will be greater using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360
Basis.

17

 

     (e) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the
express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal
balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a
result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the
principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or
the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum
Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have
been payments in reduction of principal (but not subject to any yield maintenance premium) and not
on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use
or forbearance of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until
payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the
Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan
is outstanding.

     SECTION 2.6 Loan Payments.

     (a) Payment Before Maturity. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only
on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through the last day of the month in which
the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the first day of a calendar month, in which
case no such separate payment of interest shall be due). Borrower shall make a payment to Lender
of interest only in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the Monthly Payment
Date occurring in August, 2011 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the
Maturity Date. Each payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance,
if any, to principal.

     (b) [Intentionally Omitted].

     (c) Payment on Maturity. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts
due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

     (d) Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the
Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by
Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender promptly following demand
therefor an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum
amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling
and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan
Documents.

     (e) Method and Place of Payment.

     (i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments
under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M.,
California time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of

18

 

the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any
funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have
been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

     (ii) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be
deemed to be the immediately succeeding Business Day.

     (iii) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the
other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff,
claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

     SECTION 2.7 Prepayments.

     (a) Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option
and upon not less than thirty (30) days prior revocable notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) to Lender
(or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), prepay the
Debt in whole or in part on any date without payment of any yield maintenance premium or other
prepayment penalty. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date
shall include interest which would have accrued thereon to the next Monthly Payment Date (such
amounts, the “Interest Shortfall”). Borrower hereby agrees that in the event Borrower delivers a
Prepayment Notice and fails to prepay the Loan in accordance with the Prepayment Notice and the
terms of this Section 2.7 (a “Prepayment Failure”), Borrower shall indemnify Lender from
and against, and shall be responsible for, all Losses (including any breakage costs) incurred by
Lender with respect to any such Prepayment Failure, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
Lender, be available to the extent that such Losses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence,
illegal acts, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Person.

     (b) Intentionally Omitted.

     (c) Liquidation Events.

     (i) In the event of (A) any Casualty to the Property or any portion thereof, (B) any
Condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, (C) any transfer of the Property in
connection with a realization thereon following a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, including,
without limitation, a foreclosure sale, (D) any refinancing of the Property or the Mortgage
Loan or (E) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its
owner’s title insurance policy (the “Owner’s Title Policy”) after application of such
proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”),
Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited
directly into the Mezzanine Collateral Account. Upon such deposit, such Net Liquidation
Proceeds After Debt Service shall be applied by Lender toward payment of the Debt, without
yield maintenance, premium, penalty or other charge. Any amounts of Net Liquidation
Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the

19

 

Debt shall be paid to Borrower. If such deposit is made on a date other than a Monthly
Payment Date, Lender shall hold the deposited funds as collateral security for the Loan in
an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and
shall be applied by Lender on the next Monthly Payment Date.

     (ii) Borrower shall notify Lender of any Liquidation Event no later than three (3)
Business Days following the first date on which Borrower has knowledge of such event.
Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of
the Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into by or on
behalf of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, and all other contingencies, if any, contained
therein have been satisfied and/or waived, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of
such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of the Property, on the date on which
a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into by or on behalf of Borrower or
Mortgage Borrower, and all contingencies, if any contained therein have been satisfied
and/or waived. The provisions of this Section 2.7(c)(ii) shall not be construed to
contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the
Mortgage Loan or the Sale or Pledge of the Property set forth in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

     (d) Payment of Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the
event that the Mortgage Loan is paid in full or defeased at any time prior to the Maturity Date of
the Loan, the Debt shall then be immediately due and payable simultaneously with the payment in
full or defeasance of the Mortgage Loan.

foregoing, Borrower has sufficient control over Mortgage Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to (i)
take any action on Mortgage Borrower’s part required by the Loan Documents and (ii) refrain from
taking any action prohibited by the Loan Documents.

     SECTION 3.2 Validity of Documents. (a) The execution, delivery and performance of this

without limitation, the Management Agreement; (v) will not result in the creation or imposition of
any lien, charge or encumbrance whatsoever upon any of its assets, except the lien and security

right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower,
including the defense of usury, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, would the operation of any of the
terms of the Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render the Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan Documents unenforceable (except as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
Creditors Rights Laws, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)), and neither Borrower nor

Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance

including, without limitation, obligations under the Leases and the Management Agreement, and (b)
obligations under Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan Documents (as applicable). There is no
agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or
Mortgage Borrower is bound that would require the subordination in right of payment of any of

Documents to an obligation owed to another party.

     SECTION 3.27 Fraudulent Conveyance. Borrower (a) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan
Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (b) received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving
effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately
following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The
fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the
maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as
conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that
it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities and
other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

     SECTION 3.28 Embargoed Person. To Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date hereof and at all
times throughout the term of the Loan, including after giving effect to any transfers of interests
permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, (a) none of the funds or other

27

 

assets of Borrower, Operating Partnership, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor constitute property
of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any person, entity or country which is a
sanctioned person, entity or country under U.S. law, including but not limited to, the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy
Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder
(including regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S.
Department of the Treasury and the Specially Designated Nationals List maintained by OFAC) with the
result that the investment in Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable (whether
directly or indirectly), is prohibited by Applicable Law or the Loan made by Lender is in violation
of Applicable Law (“Embargoed Person”); (b) unless expressly waived in writing by Lender, no
Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Borrower, Operating Partnership,
Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower,
Operating Partnership, Mortgage Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or
indirectly), is prohibited by Applicable Law or the Loan is in violation of Applicable Law; and (c)
to the best knowledge of Borrower, none of the funds of Borrower, Operating Partnership, Mortgage
Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, have been derived from any unlawful activity with the result
that the investment in Borrower, Operating Partnership, Mortgage Borrower and/or Guarantor, as
applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by Applicable Law or the Loan is in
violation of Applicable Law. With respect to parties owning direct or indirect interests in
Operating Partnership or Guarantor, Lender acknowledges that Borrower has relied exclusively on its
U.S. broker dealer network to implement the normal and customary investor screening practices
mandated by applicable law and FINRA regulations in making the foregoing representation. Borrower
covenants and agrees that in the event Borrower receives any notice that Borrower, Operating
Partnership, Mortgage Borrower, or Guarantor (or any of their respective beneficial owners,
affiliates or participants) or any Person that has an interest in the Property is designated as an
Embargoed Person, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing. At Lender’s option, it
shall be an Event of Default hereunder if Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Operating
Partnership or any other party to the Loan (other than Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or any party
acting on behalf of Lender) is designated as an Embargoed Person.

     SECTION 3.29 Patriot Act. All capitalized words and phrases and all defined terms used in the
USA Patriot Act of 2001, 107 Public Law 56 (October 26, 2001) and in other statutes and all orders,
rules and regulations of the United States government and its various executive departments,
agencies and offices related to the subject matter of the Patriot Act (collectively referred to in
this Section only as the “Patriot Act”) are incorporated into this Section. Borrower hereby
represents and warrants that Borrower, Operating Partnership, Mortgage Borrower and Guarantor and
each and every Person that is an Affiliate of Borrower, Operating Partnership, Mortgage Borrower
and/or Guarantor is: (i) in full compliance with all applicable requirements of the Patriot Act
and any regulations issued thereunder; (ii) operated under policies, procedures and practices, if
applicable, that are in compliance with the Patriot Act and available to Lender for Lender’s review
and inspection during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice; (iii) not in receipt
of any notice from the Secretary of State or the Attorney General of the United States or any other
department, agency or office of the United States claiming a violation or possible violation of the
Patriot Act; (iv) not a person who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to any
of the prohibitions contained in the

28

 

Patriot Act; and (v) not owned or controlled by or now acting and or will in the future act
for or on behalf of any person who has been determined to be subject to the prohibitions contained
in the Patriot Act. With respect to parties owning direct or indirect interests in Operating
Partnership or Guarantor, Lender acknowledges that Borrower has relied exclusively on its U.S.
broker-dealer network to implement the normal and customary investor screening practices mandated
by Applicable Law and FINRA regulations in making the foregoing representation. Borrower covenants
and agrees that in the event Borrower receives any notice that Borrower, Operating Partnership,
Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor (or any of their respective beneficial owners, affiliates or
participants) or any Person that has an interest in the Property is indicted, arraigned, or
custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering,
Borrower shall immediately notify Lender. At Lender’s option, it shall be an Event of Default
hereunder if Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Operating Partnership or any other party to
the Loan (other than Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or any party acting on behalf of Lender) is
indicted, arraigned or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate
crimes to money laundering.

     SECTION 3.30 Organizational Chart. The organizational chart attached as Schedule I
hereto, relating to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and certain Affiliates and other parties, is true,
complete and correct on and as of the date hereof.

     SECTION 3.31 Bank Holding Company. Borrower is not a “bank holding company” or a direct or
indirect subsidiary of a “bank holding company” as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,

     SECTION 3.32 No Breach of Fiduciary Duty. No Person that is currently an Affiliate of
Borrower, has breached any fiduciary duty owed by such Person to any other Person now or previously
an Affiliate of Borrower.

     SECTION 3.33 Property Document Representations. To Borrower’s knowledge, each REA is in full
force and effect and neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other
party to any REA, is in material default thereunder, and to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no
conditions which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a
default thereunder. To Borrower’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule II hereof, no REA has
been modified, amended or supplemented.

     SECTION 3.34 No Change in Facts or Circumstances. All information submitted by Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower and Guarantor to Lender and in all financial statements, rent rolls, reports,
certificates and other documents submitted in connection with the Loan or in satisfaction of the
terms thereof and all statements of fact made by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and/or Guarantor in
this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, are accurate, complete and correct in all material
respects. There has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event
that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material
respect or that would otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect.

29

 

     SECTION 3.35 Perfection of Accounts. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that:

     (a) This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, create a valid and continuing
security interest (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) in the Accounts in favor of Lender,
which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such against creditors of
and purchasers from Borrower. Other than in connection with the Loan Documents, Borrower has not
sold or otherwise conveyed the Accounts; and

     (b) The Accounts constitute “deposit accounts” or “securities accounts” within the meaning of
the Uniform Commercial Code.

     SECTION 3.36 Mortgage Loan Representations. All of the representations and warranties
contained in the Mortgage Loan Documents are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and deemed
made by Borrower hereunder and are true and correct as of the Closing Date and shall remain
incorporated without regard to any waiver, amendment or other modification thereof by Mortgage
Lender or to whether the related Mortgage Loan Document has been repaid, defeased or otherwise
terminated, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender.

     SECTION 3.37 No Contractual Obligations. Other than the Loan Documents, the Borrower
Operating Agreement and the Mortgage Borrower LLC Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement,
Borrower is not subject to any Contractual Obligations and has not entered into any agreement,
instrument or undertaking by which it or its assets are bound, or has incurred any indebtedness
(other than the Loan).

     SECTION 3.38 Subsidiaries. Effective as of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in Borrower is owned by
Operating Partnership free and clear of all Liens (other than the Liens created by the Loan

own any equity interests other than the Pledged Securities.

     SECTION 3.39 Pledged Securities. There are no Liens on the Pledged Securities (other than the
Liens created by the Loan Documents and Permitted Encumbrances).

     SECTION 3.40 No Default Under Mortgage Loan. Borrower represents that, as of the date hereof,
no Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and, to Borrower’s knowledge, there exists no event
that with the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute a Mortgage Loan Event of
Default.

     SECTION 3.41 Intentionally Omitted.

     SECTION 3.42 Intentionally Omitted.

     SECTION 3.43 Guarantor Representations. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, as of
the date hereof and continuing thereafter for the term of the Loan, the representations and
warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 through 3.8, 3.12, 3.18, 3.21, 3.23, 3.27, 3.28, 3.29,
3.32, and 3.34 above are true and correct with respect to Guarantor, as the same is

30

 

applicable to Guarantor. For such purpose, wherever the term “Borrower” is used in each of
the foregoing Subsections it shall be deemed to be “Guarantor,” with respect to such party.

     Borrower agrees that, unless expressly provided otherwise, all of the representations and
warranties of Borrower set forth in this Article 3 and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender. All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement and in the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.

ARTICLE 4.

BORROWER COVENANTS

     From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower
under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents or the earlier
release of the lien of the Pledge Agreement (and all related obligations) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

     SECTION 4.1 Existence. Borrower will continuously maintain (a) its existence and shall not
dissolve or permit its dissolution, (b) its rights to do business in the applicable State and (c)
its franchises and trade names, if any.

     SECTION 4.2 Applicable Law.

     (a) Borrower shall promptly comply and shall cause each of Mortgage Borrower and the Property
to comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law affecting Borrower, Mortgage Borrower
and the Property, or the use thereof, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws and
Applicable Law relating to OFAC, Embargoed Persons and the Patriot Act.

     (b) Borrower shall from time to time, upon Lender’s request, provide Lender with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender that each of Mortgage Borrower and the Property complies with all
Applicable Law or is exempt from compliance with Applicable Law.

     (c) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice
related to a violation of any Applicable Law and upon learning of the commencement of any
proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Law.

     (d) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the validity of any Applicable Law, the applicability of any Applicable Law to Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Applicable Law, provided that (i)
no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under
and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower and Mortgage
Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be
permitted by and conducted in accordance with all Applicable Law;

31

 

(iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final
determination thereof comply with any such Applicable Law determined to be valid or applicable or
cure any violation of any Applicable Law; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the
contested Applicable Law against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or the Property; and (vi) Borrower
shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested
by Lender, to insure compliance with such Applicable Law, together with all interest and penalties
payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary
to cause compliance with such Applicable Law at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of
Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Applicable Law is finally established or
the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited,
terminated, cancelled or lost.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2(d), to the extent any
Lease with a Tenant remains in effect and such Tenant remains liable for the obligations under its
Lease, such Tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such
Lease in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.2(d), the provisions set forth in such
Lease shall govern and control. Borrower agrees to notify Lender in writing in the event that a
Tenant under any Lease exercises its right to contest thereunder and agrees to deliver to Lender
any correspondence received or delivered by Borrower pursuant to such Lease as it relates to such
Tenant’s right to contest.

     SECTION 4.3 Maintenance and Use of Property. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause Mortgage Borrower to maintain the Property to be maintained in a good and safe
condition and repair. The Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished
or altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property or as otherwise permitted
pursuant to Section 4.21 hereof) without the consent of Lender, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to the terms and conditions of, and the
rights of Tenants under the Leases, Borrower shall, promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of
the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or
which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.13 hereof
and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair
on the Land. Without the consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any
private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or
defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof. If under applicable
zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming
use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or the
nonconforming Improvement to be abandoned without the express written consent of Lender, not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

     SECTION 4.4 Waste. Borrower shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
each Tenant occupying the Property (or any portion thereof) to not, commit or suffer (or permit
Mortgage Borrower to commit or suffer) any waste of the Property or make any change (or permit
Mortgage Borrower to make any change) in the use of the Property which will in any way materially
increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the

32

 

Property, or take any action (or permit Mortgage Borrower to take any action) that might
invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon
anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security for the Loan.
Borrower will not, and will not allow Mortgage Borrower to, without the prior written consent of
Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any
minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Property, regardless of the depth thereof or the
method of mining or extraction thereof.

     SECTION 4.5 Taxes and Other Charges.

     (a) Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes and Other Charges (as such terms are
defined in the Mortgage Loan Documents) now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the
Property or any part thereof prior to delinquency. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for
the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the
Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than five (5)
Business Days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be
delinquent if not paid (provided, however, that if the Tenant under a Lease is required to pay such
Taxes or Other Charges directly to the applicable Governmental Authority and Borrower timely
requests and diligently pursues evidence of such payment, and further provided that no enforcement
action has been commenced by the applicable Governmental Authority resulting from Tenant’s failure
to pay Taxes or Other Charges, then Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to
provide such evidence to Lender). Borrower shall not (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower not to)
suffer any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property
(or any portion thereof), other than Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower shall promptly pay or cause
to be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge
against the Property or the Collateral (or any portion thereof) and shall promptly pay, or cause to
be paid, for all utility services provided to the Property (or any portion thereof).

     (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may permit Mortgage Borrower, at its own
expense, to contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith
and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or
Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other
instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default
thereunder and such proceeding shall be permitted by and conducted in accordance with all
Applicable Law; (iii) neither the Collateral nor the Property nor any part thereof or interest
therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost; (iv) Borrower
shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any
such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable
in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes
or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall deliver evidence to Lender that
Mortgage Borrower has furnished Mortgage Lender with such security as may be reasonably required in
the proceeding, or deliver to Lender evidence that Mortgage Borrower has provided such reserve
deposits as may be reasonably requested by Mortgage Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes
or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon (or in the event that Mortgage
Lender has waived the requirement of such

33

 

security or reserve deposits, Lender reserves the right to require Borrower to deliver such
security or reserve deposits as shall be reasonably requested by Lender. Lender may pay over any
such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when,
in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the
Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited,
terminated, canceled or lost or there shall be any danger of the lien of the Security Instrument or
the Pledge Agreement being primed by any related lien).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5(b), to the extent the
Lease with a Tenant remains in effect and such Tenant remains liable for the obligations under its
Lease, such Tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such
Lease in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.5(b), the provisions set forth in such
Lease shall govern and control. Borrower agrees to notify Lender in writing in the event that a
Tenant under any Lease exercises its right to contest thereunder and agrees to deliver to Lender
any correspondence received or delivered by Borrower pursuant to such Lease as it relates to such
Tenant’s right to contest.

     SECTION 4.6 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender upon learning of
any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower, any
Tenant, or the Property, or Mortgage Borrower which might have a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 4.7 Access to Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of, and the rights of
Tenants under the Leases, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to permit agents, representatives
and employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon
reasonable advance notice. Any such inspection shall be at the expense of Lender unless an Event
of Default is continuing, in which event, the cost of such inspection shall be paid by Borrower.

     SECTION 4.8 Notice of Default. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of any material adverse
change in Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and/or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or
of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default of which Borrower has knowledge.

     SECTION 4.9 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to any claim by Borrower
against Lender, Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before
any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender
hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other
Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at Lender’s election, to participate in
any such proceedings.

     SECTION 4.10 Performance by Borrower.

     (a) Borrower shall in a timely manner observe, perform and fulfill, in all material respects,
each and every covenant, term and provision to be observed and performed by Borrower under this
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents

34

 

and any other agreement or instrument affecting or pertaining to the Collateral and any
amendments, modifications of changes thereto.

     (b) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to observe, perform and fulfill each and every
covenant, term and provision to be observed and performed by Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage
Loan Documents and any other agreement or instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property and
any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

     SECTION 4.11 Awards. Subject to the Mortgage Loan Documents and the rights of Mortgage Lender
thereunder and the terms and conditions of the Leases, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in
obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable
to Borrower in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any reasonable
expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable, actual attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, and the payment by Lender of the actual expense of an appraisal on behalf of
Borrower in case of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of
such Awards or Insurance Proceeds.

     SECTION 4.12 Books and Records.

     (a) Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, keep adequate books and records of
account in accordance with GAAP (or such other basis of accounting acceptable to Lender in its
reasonable discretion and consistently applied), and furnish, or cause to be furnished to Lender:

     (i) quarterly (and prior to a Securitization, monthly, except for the last month of a
quarter) certified rent rolls (in the form approved by Lender in connection with the closing
of the Loan) and tenant sales reports (if applicable), each signed and dated by a
Responsible Officer of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower, within thirty (30) days after the end
of each calendar month (except for the last month of a quarter) or forty-five (45) days
after the end of each calendar quarter, as applicable;

     (ii) quarterly (and prior to a Securitization, monthly, except for the last month of a
quarter) operating statements of the Property, prepared and certified by a Responsible
Officer of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower in the form reasonably required by Lender,
detailing the revenues received, the expenses incurred and the components of Underwritable
Cash Flow before and after Debt Service for the period of calculation and containing
appropriate year-to-date information, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar
month (except for the last month of a quarter) or forty-five (45) days after the end of each
calendar quarter, as applicable;

     (iii) an annual balance sheet, profit and loss statement, statement of cash flow, and
statement of change in financial position of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower, prepared and
certified by a Responsible Officer of Borrower within ninety (90) days after the close of
each fiscal year of Borrower;

     (iv) an annual operating statement of the Property certified by a Responsible Officer
of Borrower in the form reasonably required by Lender, detailing the revenues received, the
expenses incurred and the components of Underwritable Cash Flow before

35

 

and after Debt Service for the period of calculation and containing appropriate
year-to-date information, within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year of
Borrower;

     (v) by no later than January 15 of each calendar year, an annual operating budget for
such calendar year presented on a monthly basis consistent with the annual operating
statement described above for the Property, including cash flow projections for the upcoming
year and all proposed capital replacements and improvements, which such budget shall not
take effect until approved by Lender (each such annual budget, individually and/or
collectively (as the context may require), an “Annual Budget”). Lender’s failure to approve
such Annual Budget within thirty (30) days after Lender’s receipt of an Annual Budget shall
be deemed to constitute Lender’s approval of such Annual Budget, provided that said written
request to Lender conspicuously states in 12 point or larger bold type “PURSUANT TO SECTION
4.12(a)(v) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, BORROWER’S REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET SHALL
BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT DECLINE APPROVAL IN WRITING OR REQUEST ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THIS LETTER.”;

     (vi) Intentionally Omitted;

     (vii) Intentionally Omitted; and

     (viii) the Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof.

     (b) Upon reasonable request from Lender, Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to,
furnish in a timely manner to Lender:

     (i) a property management report for the Property, showing deposits received from
tenants and any other information requested by Lender, in reasonable detail and certified by
a Responsible Officer of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower to be true and complete, but no more
frequently than quarterly; and

     (ii) an accounting of all security deposits held in connection with any Lease of any
part of the Property, including the name and identification number of the accounts in which
such security deposits are held, the name and address of the financial institutions in which
such security deposits are held and the name of the person to contact at such financial
institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Lender to obtain information
regarding such accounts directly from such financial institutions.

     (c) Within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish Lender (and
shall cause Mortgage Borrower, and/or Guarantor to furnish to Lender) with such other additional
financial or management information (including State and Federal tax returns) as may, from time to
time, be reasonably required by Lender in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower
shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, furnish to Lender and its agents convenient facilities
for the examination and audit of any such books and records at any reasonable time from time to
time during business hours upon reasonable advance notice.

36

 

     (d) Borrower agrees that all Required Financial Items (defined below) to be delivered to
Lender pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall: (i) be complete and correct in all material
respects; (ii) present fairly the financial condition of the party as of the applicable date of
such certification; (iii) disclose all liabilities that are required to be reflected or reserved
against; and (iv) be prepared (A) in electronic formats, and if requested by Lender, also delivered

the date of delivery of any such financial statement, there has been no material adverse change in
financial condition, nor have any assets or properties been sold, transferred, assigned, mortgaged,
pledged or encumbered since the date of such financial statement except as disclosed by Borrower in
a writing delivered to Lender. Borrower agrees that all Required Financial Items shall not contain
any misrepresentation or omission of a material fact.

     (e) Borrower acknowledges the importance to Lender of the timely delivery of each of the items
required by this Section 4.12 (each, a “Required Financial Item” and, collectively, the
“Required Financial Items”). In the event Borrower fails to deliver to Lender any of the Required
Financial Items within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s delivery of notice to Borrower of
Borrower’s failure to deliver the Required Financial Items (each such event, a “Reporting
Failure”), in addition to constituting an Event of Default hereunder and without limiting Lender’s
other rights and remedies with respect to the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Borrower
shall pay upon demand to Lender the sum of $1,000.00 per occurrence for each Reporting Failure. It
shall constitute a further Event of Default hereunder if any such payment is not received by Lender
within thirty (30) days of the date on which such payment is so demanded and Lender shall be
entitled to the exercise of all of its rights and remedies provided hereunder.

     SECTION 4.13 Estoppel Certificates.

     (a) After request by Lender, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower, within ten (10) Business
Days of such request, to furnish Lender or any proposed assignee with a statement, duly
acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the original principal amount of the Mortgage Note,
(ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Note, (iii) the rate of interest of the Mortgage
Note, (iv) the terms of payment and maturity date of the Mortgage Note, (v) the date installments
of interest and/or principal were last paid, (vi) that, except as provided in such statement, no
Event of Default exists under the Mortgage Loan Documents, (vii) that the Mortgage Loan Agreement,
the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Mortgage Loan Documents are valid, legal and
binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such
modification, (viii) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the obligations secured thereby
and, if any are alleged to exist, a detailed description thereof, (ix) that, to Mortgage Borrower’s
knowledge, all Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified (or if modified,
setting forth all modifications), (x) the date to which the Rents thereunder have been paid
pursuant to the Leases, (xi) whether or not, to Mortgage Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry of
the Manager, any of the lessees under the Leases are in default under the Leases, and, if any of
the lessees are in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, (xii) the
amount of security deposits held by Mortgage Borrower under each Lease and that such amounts are
consistent with the amounts required under each Lease, and (xiii) as to any other matters
reasonably requested by Lender and reasonably related to the Leases, the

37

 

obligations created and evidenced hereby and by the Security Instrument or the Property. It
being understood that Lender shall not exercise its right pursuant to this subsection, more than
two (2) times during each calendar year unless there is an Event of Default.

     (b) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender, promptly upon
request, duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more Tenants as required by Lender
attesting to such facts regarding the Lease as Lender may require, including, but not limited to,
attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no defaults
thereunder on the part of any party, that none of the Rents have been paid more than one month in
advance, except as security, and that the lessee claims no defense or offset against the full and
timely performance of its obligations under the Lease. It being understood that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this subsection (b), (1) to the extent that a particular Lease provides
for a specific form of estoppel or limits the matters to which a particular Tenant is required to
certify, Lender shall accept such estoppel set forth in or contemplated by the Lease to satisfy
this subsection (b) and (2) Lender shall not exercise its right, pursuant to this subsection, more
than two (2) times during each calendar year unless there is an Event of Default.

     (c) In connection with the Securitization of the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest
therein), at Lender’s request, Borrower shall provide an estoppel certificate to any Investor or
any prospective Investor in such form, substance and detail as Lender, such Investor or prospective
Investor may reasonably require.

     (d) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender, upon request,
estoppel certificates from each party under the Property Documents in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Lender. It being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
subsection (d), (1) to the extent that a particular Property Document provides for a specific form
of estoppel, Lender shall accept such estoppel to satisfy this subsection (d) and (2) Lender shall
not exercise its right, pursuant to this subsection, more than two (2) times during each calendar
year unless there is an Event of Default.

     SECTION 4.14 Leases and Rents.

     (a) All Leases and renewals of Leases (provided, however, that any renewal of existing Leases
shall be subject to the terms of such Lease) executed after the date hereof shall (i) provide for
rental rates reasonably comparable to existing local market rates for similar properties, (ii) be
on commercially reasonable terms with unaffiliated, third parties (unless otherwise consented to by
Lender), (iii) provide that such Lease is subordinate to the Security Instrument and that the
lessee will attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, (iv) not contain any terms
which would have a Material Adverse Effect and (v) with respect to any Major Lease, shall be
subject to Lender’s prior written approval as provided herein. Borrower shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, enter into, enter into any agreement with respect to (including, without limitation, any
non-disturbance agreement), renew, extend, amend, modify, permit any assignment of, waive any
provisions of, release any party to, terminate, exercise any recapture rights with respect to,
reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, in each case, any
Major Lease; provided, however, that (x) such consent shall not be required

38

 

to the extent that the Major Lease provides for an extension or renewal that may be exercised
in the Tenant’s discretion, and (y) Lender hereby consents to the Fifth Amendment to Lease. Lender
shall execute and deliver a Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement on Lender’s then
current standard form (or such other reasonable form requested by such Tenants and reasonably
approved by Lender) to Tenants under future Major Leases approved by Lender (as set forth above)
promptly upon request with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by Tenants,
from time to time, as are reasonably acceptable to Lender.

     (b) Borrower (i) shall (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) observe and perform in all
material respects, the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially
reasonable manner; (ii) shall (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) enforce the terms, covenants
and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or
performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, (A) Borrower shall deliver
written notice of Borrower’s anticipated enforcement action with respect to any Major Lease not
less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the taking of such enforcement action, and (B) Borrower
shall not (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to not) terminate or accept a surrender of a Major
Lease without Lender’s prior approval, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed; (iii) shall not (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to not) collect any of the Rents more
than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not (and shall cause
Mortgage Borrower to not) execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents
(except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to)
hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with Applicable Law. Upon request,
Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not willfully
withhold from Lender any information regarding renewal, extension, amendment, modification, waiver
of provisions of, termination, rental reduction of, surrender of space of, or shortening of the
term of, any Major Lease during the term of the Loan. Borrower further agrees to provide Lender
with written notice of a Tenant “going dark” under such Tenant’s Lease within five (5) Business
Days after Borrower learns that such Tenant “goes dark”.

     (d) Borrower shall notify Lender in writing, within two (2) Business Days following receipt
thereof, of Mortgage Borrower’s receipt of any termination fee or payment (“Lease Event Payment”)
paid by any Tenant under any Lease in consideration of any termination, modification or amendment
or settlement of any Lease or any release or discharge of any Tenant under any Lease from any
obligation thereunder (a “Lease Event”). Borrower further covenants and agrees that, subject to
the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents (i) except as provided in clause
(ii) (A) below, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to hold any such Lease Event Payment in
trust for the benefit of Lender and (ii) (A) in the event such Lease Event Payment is less than
$50,000, such Lease Event Payment shall be payable to Mortgage Borrower or (B) in the event such
Lease Event Payment equals or exceeds $50,000, such Lease Event Payment shall be placed by Mortgage
Borrower in reserve with Lender, to be disbursed by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing
commission costs with respect to the Property and/or for payment of the Debt (without any yield
maintenance premium being due in connection therewith) or otherwise in connection with the Loan
and/or the Property, as so determined by Lender, in its sole discretion.

39

 

     (e) If Borrower shall materially default in the performance or observance of any term,
covenant or condition of any Lease and shall fail to cure the same prior to the expiration of any
applicable cure period provided thereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no
obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to
cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of such Lease on the part of Borrower to be
performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and
under such Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. If any party to any Lease shall
deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default under such Lease, such notice shall constitute
full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in
reliance thereon.

     SECTION 4.15 Management Agreement.

     (a) Borrower shall (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) (i) diligently perform, observe and
enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of
Mortgage Borrower to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done
which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Mortgage Borrower under the Management
Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to Mortgage Borrower of any
default by Mortgage Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed and
observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Without Lender’s prior written
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not
permit Mortgage Borrower to surrender the Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by
Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel the Management
Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement, in any respect,
either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the
payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions
of this Agreement, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to permit Mortgage
Borrower to surrender the Management Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement,
alter or amend the Management Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of the Management
Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment
of the Management Agreement without the consents required pursuant to this Section 4.15(a)
shall be void and of no force and effect; provided that, Borrower shall not be required to obtain
Lender’s consent with respect to any non-material changes, supplements, alterations or amendments
to the Management Agreement. If Mortgage Borrower shall default in the performance or observance
of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage
Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions
of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder,
Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any
act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of
the Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed to be
promptly performed or observed on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, to the end that the rights of
Mortgage Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from
default. Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, subject to
the terms and conditions of, and the rights of Tenants under the Leases, the right to enter upon
the Property at any time and from time to time

40

 

for the purpose of taking any such action. If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any
notice sent to Mortgage Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall
constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good
faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall notify Lender if Manager sub-contracts to a third party
or an affiliate any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement.
Borrower shall (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to), from time to time, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain from Manager under the Management Agreement such certificates of
estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement
as may be reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to exercise each
individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement upon demand by
Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be
exercised, and, should Borrower so fail to exercise such option, (on behalf of Mortgage Borrower)
hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in
the name of and upon behalf of Mortgage Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and
shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this
paragraph shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date
of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the
lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and
payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

     (b) Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Management Agreement is terminated pursuant to
the Assignment of Management Agreement or for any other reason, then Lender, at its option, may
require Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to engage, in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in the Assignment of Management Agreement, a new manager (the “New Manager”) to manage
the Property, which such New Manager shall be a Qualified Manager. New Manager shall be engaged by
Mortgage Borrower pursuant to a written management agreement that complies with the terms hereof
and of the Assignment of Management Agreement and is otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all
respects. Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) cause New Manager and Mortgage
Borrower to execute an Assignment of Management Agreement in the form then used by Lender. Without
limitation of the foregoing, if required by Lender, Borrower shall, as a condition precedent to
Mortgage Borrower’s engagement of such New Manager, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with
respect to such New Manager and new management agreement.

     (c) The parties hereto agree that, from and after the effective date of the Prime Management
Agreement, Cole Realty Advisors, Inc. shall be an Affiliated Manager. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in Section 4.15(a) above, Mortgage Borrower may, without Lender’s consent,
terminate the Management Agreement provided the Property remains managed at all times by a
Qualified Manager and the provisions of Section 4.15(b) are otherwise satisfied. Further, from and
after the effective date of the Prime Management Agreement, in the event that Cole Realty Advisors,
Inc. is no longer an Affiliated Manager, then Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and/or
Guarantor to replace Manager with a Qualified Manager and otherwise satisfy the provisions of
Section 4.15(b).

41

 

     SECTION 4.16 Payment for Labor and Materials.

     (a) Subject to Section 4.16(b), Borrower will promptly pay, or cause to be paid
pursuant to the terms of any applicable Lease, when due all bills and costs for labor, materials,
and specifically fabricated materials incurred by Mortgage Borrower in connection with the Property
(any such bills and costs, a “Work Charge”) and never permit to exist in respect of the Property or
any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security
interests hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property
or any part thereof any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or
security interests created hereby, by the Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
Mortgage Loan Documents, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.

     (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest (or permit
Mortgage Borrower to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in
good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work
Charge to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or to the Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work
Charge and defer paying the same, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any instrument to which Borrower and Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all
Applicable Law; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in
imminent and/or present danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv)
Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay (or cause to be paid) any such
contested Work Charge determined to be valid, applicable or unpaid; (v) such proceeding shall
suspend the collection of such contested Work Charge from the Property or Borrower or Mortgage
Borrower shall have paid the same (or shall have caused the same to be paid) under protest; and
(vi) Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) such security as may be required in the
proceeding, or cause Mortgage Borrower to furnish such security as may be reasonably requested by
Mortgage Lender, to insure payment of such Work Charge, together with all interest and penalties
payable in connection therewith (or in the event Mortgage Lender has waived the requirement for
such security, Lender reserves the right to require Borrower to deliver such security as may be
reasonably requested by Lender. Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary
to pay for such Work Charge at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity,
applicability or non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the Property (or any
part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent and/or present danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.16(b), to the extent the
Lease with a Tenant remains in effect and such Tenant remains liable for the obligations under its
Lease, such Tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such
Lease in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.16(b), the provisions set forth in such
Lease shall govern and control. Borrower agrees to notify Lender in writing in the event that a
Tenant under any Lease exercises its right to contest thereunder and agrees to deliver to Lender
any correspondence received or delivered by Borrower pursuant to such Lease as it relates to such
Tenant’s right to contest.

     SECTION 4.17 Performance of Other Agreements. Borrower shall (and shall cause Mortgage
Borrower to) observe and perform in all material respects each and every term to

42

 

be observed or performed by Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower pursuant to the terms of any
agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property, or given by Borrower to
Lender or Mortgage Borrower to Mortgage Lender for the purpose of further securing the Debt and any
amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

     SECTION 4.18 Debt Cancellation. Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any
material claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Mortgage
Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Mortgage
Borrower’s business.

     SECTION 4.19 ERISA

     (a) Borrower shall not engage and shall cause Mortgage Borrower not to engage in any
transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the
exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) to be a
non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under
ERISA.

     (b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other
evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan as requested by Lender in its reasonable
discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3)
of ERISA, or other retirement arrangement, which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section
4975 of the IRS Code, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of
ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary
obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following
circumstances is true:

	 	(A)	 	Equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities,
within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3 101(b)(2);
	 
	 	(B)	 	Less than 25 percent of each outstanding class of equity
interests in Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning
of 29 C.F.R.§ 2510.3 101(f)(2), as modified by § 3(42) of ERISA, disregarding
the value of any equity interests in Borrower held by (I) a Person (other than
a benefit plan investor) who has discretionary authority or control with
respect to the assets of Borrower, (II) any Person who provides investment
advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to the assets of Borrower,
or (III) any affiliate of a Person described in the immediately preceding
clause (I) or (II);
	 
	 	(C)	 	Borrower qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate
operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R § 2510.3 101(c) or (e) or an
investment company registered under The Investment Company Act of 1940; or
	 
	 	(D)	 	The assets of Borrower are not otherwise “plan assets” of one
or more “employee benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA)
subject to Title I of ERISA, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101.

43

 

     SECTION 4.20 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not (and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower
to) suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Property with (a) any other real
property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, or (b) any portion of the Property
which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any
taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to
the real property portion of the Property.

     SECTION 4.21 Alterations. Lender’s prior approval shall be required in connection with any
alterations to any Improvements (a) that may have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) the cost of which
(including any related alteration, improvement or replacement) is reasonably anticipated to exceed
the Alteration Threshold or (c) that are structural in nature; provided, however, that with respect
to items (a) and (b) above, such approval may be granted or withheld in Lender’s reasonable
discretion, and with respect to item (c) above, such approval may be granted or withheld in
Lender’s sole discretion. If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to
any alterations to the Improvements shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold, Borrower
shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts (the “Alteration
Security”) and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of
the following as determined by Borrower: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities
acceptable to Lender, (provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to
the form and issuer of same), or (iv) a completion bond (provided that Lender shall have received a
Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same). Such security shall be in an amount
equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such
alterations to the Improvements over the Alteration Threshold. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence to the contrary, in the event a Lease permits the Tenant thereunder to perform
alterations without Mortgage Borrower’s consent or approval (or if the Tenant has obtained such
consent or approval from Mortgage Borrower prior to the Closing Date and Borrower has advised
Lender in writing of such approval) and without any requirement to deliver any Alteration Security
as required hereunder, and such Tenant maintains a long term unsecured debt rating of “BBB-” or
better by S&P (or an equivalent rating by the other Rating Agencies), then such Alteration Security
shall not be required hereunder. All alterations by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower to any
Improvements shall be made lien-free and in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all
Applicable Laws.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.21, (i) Lender hereby
approves the alterations contemplated by the Fifth Amendment to Lease, provided same are completed
in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and (ii) to the extent the Lease with a Tenant
remains in effect and such Tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such Tenant
shall have the right to perform any alterations explicitly set forth in such Lease (which do not
require Mortgage Borrower’s consent or for which such consent was obtained from Borrower prior to
the Closing Date and Borrower has advised Lender in writing of such consent) in accordance with the
express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the
provisions of this Section 4.21, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and
control.

     SECTION 4.22 REA Covenants. Borrower agrees that without the prior consent of Lender, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower

44

 

will not (and will not permit Mortgage Borrower to) enter into any new Property Document or
execute modifications to any existing Property Document if such new Property Document or such
modifications will have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall (and shall cause Mortgage
Borrower to) enforce, shall comply with, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
each of the parties to each Property Document to comply with all of the terms and conditions
contained in such Property Document in all material respects.

     SECTION 4.23 Mortgage Borrower Covenants. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender,
Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with and not to breach any covenants and
agreements contained in the Mortgage Loan Documents.

     SECTION 4.24 Notices. Borrower shall give notice, or cause notice to be given, to Lender
promptly upon the occurrence of:

     (a) any material default or event of default under any Contractual Obligation of Borrower, or,
to the knowledge of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse; and/or

     (b) a change in the business, operations, property or financial or other condition or
prospects of Borrower, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 4.25 Curing. Lender shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, to
exercise Borrower’s rights, if any, under the Mortgage Borrower LLC Agreement (a) to cure a Default
or Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) to satisfy any Liens, claims or judgments
against the Property (except for Liens permitted by the Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan
Documents), in the case of either (a) or (b), unless Borrower or Mortgage Borrower shall be
diligently pursuing remedies to cure to Lender’s sole satisfaction. Borrower shall reimburse
Lender on demand for any and all costs incurred by Lender in connection with curing any such
Default or Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan or satisfying any Liens, claims or judgments
against the Property (except for Liens permitted by the Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan
Documents).

     SECTION 4.26 Special Distributions.

     (a) Subject to the Mortgage Loan Documents, on each date on which amounts are required to be
paid to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall exercise its rights under the
Mortgage Borrower LLC Agreement to cause Mortgage Borrower to make to Borrower a distribution in an
aggregate amount such that Lender shall receive the amount required to be paid to Lender on such
date.

     (b) Any and all dividends, including capital dividends, stock or liquidating dividends,
distributions of property, redemptions or other distributions made by Mortgage Borrower to Borrower
on or in respect of the Pledged Securities, and any and all cash and other property received in
payment of the principal of or in redemption of or in exchange for any such interests
(collectively, the “Distributions”) shall become part of the Collateral.

45

 

     SECTION 4.27 Limitation on Securities Issuances. Borrower shall not issue (and Borrower shall
not cause Mortgage Borrower to issue) any membership interests or other securities, other than to
or at the direction of Lender and those that have been issued as of the Closing Date.

     SECTION 4.28 Limitations on Distributions. Following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not make any distributions to its members.

     SECTION 4.29 Other Limitations. Prior to the payment in full of the Debt, Borrower shall not,
and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to, without the prior written consent of Lender (which may
be furnished or withheld at its sole and absolute discretion), give its consent or approval to any
of the following actions or items:

     (a) except as permitted by the Loan Documents or Mortgage Loan Documents (i) any refinance of
the Mortgage Loan without the refinancing of the Loan, (ii) any prepayment or defeasance in full of
the Mortgage Loan without the prepayment of the Loan, (iii) any Sale or Pledge of the Property or
the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or (iv) any action in connection
with or in furtherance of the foregoing;

     (b) any material modification, amendment, restatement, supplement or termination of the
Owner’s Title Policy and Borrower shall not (and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower and/or any of
its Affiliates to) take any actions or fail to take any actions, in each case, which would
invalidate or otherwise materially impair the coverage provided under the Owner’s Title Policy;

     (c) creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any additional liens on any portion of
the Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances);

     (d) the distribution to the partners, members or shareholders of Mortgage Borrower of property
other than cash;

     (e) any modification, amendment, consolidation, spread, restatement, waiver or termination of
any of the Mortgage Loan Documents;

     (f) except as set forth in an approved Annual Budget or otherwise permitted hereunder or under
the Mortgage Loan Documents or under the Leases, any improvement, demolition, renovation or
refurbishment of all or any part of the Property;

     (g) any material change in the method of conduct of the business of Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries;

     (h) except as required or permitted by the Mortgage Loan Documents, any determination to
restore the Property after a Casualty or Condemnation.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to
provide Lender with a copy of any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification
to the Mortgage Loan Documents promptly after the execution thereof.

46

 

     Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with all obligations with which Mortgage
Borrower has covenanted to comply under the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the other Mortgage Loan
Documents whether or not the related Mortgage Loan has been repaid, totally defeased or otherwise
terminated or satisfied, unless consented to in writing by Lender.

     SECTION 4.30 Contractual Obligations. Other than the Loan Documents, the Borrower Operating
Agreement (and the initial membership interests in Borrower issued pursuant thereto), the Mortgage
Loan Documents and the Mortgage Borrower LLC Agreement, neither Borrower nor any of its assets
shall be subject to any Contractual Obligations, and Borrower shall not enter into any agreement,
instrument or undertaking by which it or its assets are bound, except for such liabilities, not
material in the aggregate, that are incidental to its activities as a limited partner or regular
member, as applicable, of Mortgage Borrower.

transfer not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such transfer is scheduled to close

Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require. Lender shall have the right to approve or
disapprove the proposed transfer based on its then current underwriting and credit requirements for
similar loans secured by similar properties which loans are sold in the secondary market, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval
of the proposed transfer, Lender shall consider the experience and track record of Transferee and
its principals in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the financial strength
of Transferee and its principals, the general business standing of Transferee and its principals
and Transferee’s and its principals’ relationships and experience with contractors, vendors,
tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s
agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such
approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be
commercially reasonable and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem
reasonably appropriate;

     (c) Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such prospective
transfer, (i) a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to the greater of (y) one percent
(1%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan or (z) $15,000, (ii) all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection
therewith and (iii) all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of all third parties and the Rating
Agencies incurred in connection therewith;

Article 13 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, Transferee, and
its constituent partners, members, shareholders, affiliates or sponsors as Lender may require,
shall execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall
reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption (including, without limitation, a
replacement Pledge Agreement and new ownership certificates evidencing Transferee’s ownership in
Mortgage Loan Transferee (defined below) and an Affiliate of Transferee reasonably acceptable to
Lender shall execute a recourse guaranty and an environmental indemnity in form and substance
identical to the Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity, respectively, with such changes to each of
the foregoing as may be reasonably required by Lender);

     (e) Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information

     (g) Transferee shall have furnished to Lender all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s
and Mortgage Loan Transferee’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers
to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents
relating to the organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are
partners or members of Transferee. Transferee and, in the event that Transferee is not an
Acceptable Delaware LLC, such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the
case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 5
hereof. Mortgage Loan Transferee’s organizational documents shall contain such terms and
provisions as may be required by Lender and shall otherwise be acceptable to Lender in form and
substance;

     (h) Unless Mortgage Loan Transferee will, with Lender’s consent, self-manage the Properties,
Transferee shall cause Mortgage Loan Transferee to assume the obligations of Mortgage Borrower
under any Management Agreement or provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets
with the requirements of the Assignment of Management Agreement and Section 4.15 hereof and
assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

     (i) Transferee shall furnish to Lender an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its
counsel (A) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and
that the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable
against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (B) that Transferee, Mortgage Loan Transferee
and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee and/or
Mortgage Loan Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, (C)
that the transfer will not constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan under Section 1001
of the IRS Code or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on a “prohibited transaction” by any REMIC
Trust and (D) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request (including,
without limitation, as to Lender’s perfected security interest in the Collateral);

     (j) if required by Lender, Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation with
respect to such transfer;

     (k) if required by Lender and subject to the requirements of the Mortgage Loan Documents,
Transferee shall deposit with Lender such new or increased Reserve Funds as Lender may require,
including, without limitation, new or increased Reserve Funds for taxes, insurance, tenant
improvements and leasing commissions, capital expenditures and immediate repairs, and the amendment
of the Loan Documents to require the Transferee to make monthly deposits of such new or increased
Reserve Funds for such purposes thereafter;

     (l) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that a Property
Document Event will not occur as a result of the proposed transfer;

     (m) Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is
proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the applicable terms and
conditions of this Section 6.4; and

57

 

     (n) Transferee shall furnish evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that (A) Transferee’s
100% owned and Controlled direct subsidiary (such Person, the “Mortgage Loan Transferee”) will
acquire the Mortgaged Property concurrently with the assumption contemplated in this Section
6.4 (the “Mezzanine Loan Assumption”), (B) Mortgage Loan Transferee will assume the Mortgage
Loan concurrently with the Mezzanine Loan Assumption in accordance with the applicable terms and
conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents (the “Mortgage Loan Assumption”), (C) each of the

occurred in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents concurrently with the Mezzanine Loan
Assumption.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Borrower may not exercise
its rights pursuant to this Section 6.4 during the period that commences on the date that
is sixty (60) days prior to the date of any intended Securitization of the Loan and ending on the
date that is sixty (60) days after the date of such Securitization of the Loan.

     SECTION 6.5 Lender’s Rights. Except in connection with a transfer under Section 6.4

ARTICLE 7.

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION

     SECTION 7.1 Insurance.

     (a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and
maintained, at all times, the insurance for Mortgage Borrower and the Property required under
Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, meeting all insurer
requirements thereunder. In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as an additional
insured on the liability portion of the Policies and as loss payee for all

58

 

property insurance, as applicable, under each of the Policies described in Article VII of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement, subject in all respects to the interests of Mortgage Lender. Borrower
shall also cause all insurance policies required under this Section 7.1 to provide for at
least thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender in the event of policy cancellation. Borrower shall
provide Lender with evidence of all such insurance required hereunder on or before the date on
which Mortgage Borrower is required to provide such evidence to Mortgage Lender. Borrower shall
not permit Mortgage Borrower to amend or modify the provisions of Article VII of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement, as the same exist on the date hereof, without the prior written consent of Lender. In
furtherance of the foregoing, it is agreed that if Mortgage Lender and Lender are not the same
Person or Affiliates and Mortgage Lender shall waive the requirement for Mortgage Borrower to
provide or maintain any of the Policies or types of coverage set forth in Article VII of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement, such waiver shall not be binding on Lender and Lender shall have the right
to demand, and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to provide and maintain all of the Policies
or types of coverage set forth in Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as the same exist on
the date hereof, notwithstanding such waiver by Mortgage Lender.

     (b) Borrower shall provide, or cause Mortgage Borrower to provide, simultaneously with
delivery to Mortgage Lender, copies of any Policies required to be delivered to Mortgage Lender
together with evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder, and any
other notices or information required or permitted to be provided to Mortgage Lender pursuant to
Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written
evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the
right, after five (5) Business Days prior notice to Borrower (unless Lender has a reasonable belief
that one or more of the Policies is not in full force and effect or will expire in less than five
(5) Business Days), to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the
Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its
sole discretion deems appropriate and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such
action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender
upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.

     (c) Subject to applicable law and the prior rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan,
Borrower shall cause Lender to (i) receive such protections and benefits afforded Mortgage Lender
under the applicable terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to the Policies
as may be designated by Lender and (ii) be entitled to such notice and consent rights afforded
Mortgage Lender under the applicable terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating
to the Policies as may be designated by Lender.

     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of Lender under this Article VII are subject and
subordinate to the rights of Mortgage Lender under Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If
the Mortgage Loan is satisfied or, if Mortgage Lender and Lender are not the same Person or
Affiliates at such time that Mortgage Lender waives any obligations of Mortgage Borrower to deliver
any Policy pursuant to Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower agrees to amend this
Agreement to include provisions substantially similar to Article VII of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement.

59

 

     SECTION 7.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by
fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender
(provided that such notice shall not be required if the estimated cost to restore are less than
$100,000.00) and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the
completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the
Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably
approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage
Loan Documents and Section 7.4 thereof. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs
of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not
be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.

     SECTION 7.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or
threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property (or any portion
thereof) of which Borrower has actual knowledge and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to
Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Subject to the
rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender may participate in any such
proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it
to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, cause Mortgage Borrower to
diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and
experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.
Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or
otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the
exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until
any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of
reasonable expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be
limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to
receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any
portion (but less than all) of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall
cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the
Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4 of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement. If the Property (or any portion thereof) is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise,
prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a
deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, but subject to the
rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, to receive the Award, or a portion
thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

     SECTION 7.4 Restoration.

     Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents and only to the
extent the Mortgage Loan is not outstanding and has been paid in full, the following provisions
shall apply in connection any Restoration of the Property (other than Section 7.4(b)(iii)
below which shall apply both prior to and after the repayment of the Mortgage Loan):

     (a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of
completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be

60

 

disbursed by Lender to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the
conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written
undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the
Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     (b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of
completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall
make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7.4.

     (i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available for Restoration provided that each of the
following conditions are met:

	 	(A)	 	no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
	 
	 	(B)	 	(1) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less
than thirty percent (30%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the Property
as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) the rentable area of the Property
has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or
(2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than fifteen
percent (15%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the Property as
reasonably determined by Lender and (ii) the rentable area of the Property is
taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property,
no material portion of the Improvements is located on such land and such taking
does not materially impair the existing access to the Property;
	 
	 	(C)	 	Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to
or greater than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total rentable space in the
Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect
as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever
the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the
completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such
Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower furnishes to
Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that all Tenants under Major Leases
shall continue to operate their respective space at the Property after the
completion of the Restoration;
	 
	 	(D)	 	Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to commence the
Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than
thirty (30) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto)
and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance
with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all applicable
Environmental Laws;
	 
	 	(E)	 	Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which
will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of
any such

61

 

	 	 	 	Casualty or Condemnation will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2)
the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or
(3) by other funds of Mortgage Borrower or Borrower;
	 	(F)	 	Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the
Restoration, the Underwritable Cash Flow of the Property will be sufficient to
cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property;
	 
	 	(G)	 	Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be
completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the
Maturity Date, (2) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 7.1(a)(iii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (3) such time as
may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in
order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately
prior to such Casualty or Condemnation;
	 
	 	(H)	 	Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion
guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and its counsel pursuant
to the provisions of which Borrower shall guaranty to Lender the lien-free
completion by Borrower of the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of
this Subsection 7.4(b);
	 
	 	(I)	 	the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be
in material compliance with and permitted under the Property Documents and all
Applicable Law;
	 
	 	(J)	 	the Property Documents will remain in full force and effect
during and after the Restoration and a Property Document Event shall not occur
as a result of the applicable Casualty, Condemnation and/or Restoration; and
	 
	 	(K)	 	the Restoration shall be done and completed in a reasonably
expeditious and diligent fashion and in material compliance with the Property
Documents and all Applicable Law.

     (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account (bearing
interest at a rate established by Lender, which may or may not be the highest rate then
available) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
7.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under
this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents. The Net
Proceeds (other than the Rent Loss Proceeds) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed
by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of
evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor
performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested
disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full,
and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens
or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of

62

 

Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction
of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

     (iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be
subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent
consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), such acceptance not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans
and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in
connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and
materialmen engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by
Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s reasonable fees,
shall be paid by Mortgage Borrower or Borrower. Mortgage Borrower shall have the right to
settle all claims under the Policies (subject to Lender’s approval of the final settlement,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that
(a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Mortgage Borrower promptly and with commercially
reasonable diligence negotiates a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with
respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the
insured as a defense to the payment of such claim. If an Event of Default exists, Lender
shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under
the Policies in the event of a Casualty.

     (iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place
as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration
Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Subsection 7.4(b) shall mean an
amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the
Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty
Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required
Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to
costs actually incurred by Mortgage Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of
the required Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 7.4(b), be less than the amount
actually held back by Mortgage Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the
Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in
accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 7.4(b) and that all approvals necessary
for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate
governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory
to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full
out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of
the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or
materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor

63

 

or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in
accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s
contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and
evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman
as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of the
Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the
Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a
payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

     (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more
frequently than once every calendar month.

     (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in
the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient
to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be
incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall (or shall
cause Mortgage Borrower to) deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with
Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds
Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs
actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to
the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section
7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under
this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

     (vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to
Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that
all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be
remitted by Lender to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, provided no Event
of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

     (c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 7.4(b)(vii) shall be retained
and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such
order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. If Lender shall
receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Pledge Agreement shall be reduced only by the
amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the
Debt.

     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, if the Loan is
included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Property
following a Condemnation or, if applicable, a Casualty, the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the remaining
portion of the Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s

64

 

sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the
principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by Borrower by the least of the following amounts,
unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that the Securitization will not fail to maintain
its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of lien: (i) the Net Proceeds, (ii)
the fair market value of the released portion of the Property at the time of the release, or (iii)
an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Loan (as so determined by Lender) does not
increase after the release. Unless Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that applicable
REMIC requirements or regulations require a different valuation method, Lender shall determine the
Loan-to-Value Ratio of the remaining portion of the Property by capitalizing net operating income
for the Property for such period using a capitalization rate or range of capitalization rates, in
its sole discretion, that Lender has no reason to believe is incorrect.

     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, to the extent any Lease
remains in effect and the Tenant thereunder remains liable for the obligations under such Lease,
the restoration of the Property and disposition of any amounts, awards or payments payable with
respect to any Casualty or Condemnation relating to the Property shall be governed by the
applicable Lease. Borrower agrees to notify Lender in writing in the event that a Tenant under any
Lease exercises any right relating to any Casualty or Condemnation thereunder and agrees to deliver
to Lender any correspondence received or delivered by Borrower pursuant to such Lease as it relates
to any Casualty or Condemnation.

ARTICLE 8.

MEZZANINE COLLATERAL ACCOUNT, RESEVRE FUNDS,

AND CASH MANAGEMENT

     SECTION 8.1 Mezzanine Collateral Account. As of the date hereof, pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Cash Management Agreement and the Deposit Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Cash
Management Agreement), Borrower shall establish with Mortgage Lender or Servicer an account (the
“Mezzanine Collateral Account”) into which all payments made on account of the Debt hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are to be deposited. Payments by Borrower into the Mezzanine
Collateral Account shall be deemed payments to Lender for all purposes hereof. The funds on
deposit in the Mezzanine Collateral Account shall be referred to herein as the “Mezzanine
Collateral Funds”. The Mezzanine Collateral Funds shall be applied to the Debt in such order and
priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. The insufficiency of funds on deposit
in the Mezzanine Collateral Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any
payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such
obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance
whatsoever. Borrower agrees that Lender may give written direction to Mortgage Lender pursuant to
the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Provisions to pay any sums due and owing under the Loan Documents
into the Mezzanine Collateral Account.

     SECTION 8.2 Reserve Funds.

     (a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deposit and maintain each of the Mortgage Loan
Reserve Funds as required under the Mortgage Loan Documents and to perform

65

 

and comply with all the terms and provisions relating thereto. If requested by Lender (which
such request shall be made no more frequently than twice per calendar year (unless during a Trigger
Period or in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction)), Borrower will promptly provide
evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of compliance with the foregoing. Borrower grants to
Lender a security interest in Borrower’s interest, if any, in each of the Mortgage Loan Reserve
Funds, if any, subject to the prior rights of Mortgage Lender as additional security for payment of
the Debt to the extent Borrower has an interest in same. Subject to the prior rights of Mortgage
Lender in the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds, if any, until expended or applied in accordance with the
Mortgage Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, Borrower’s interest in the Mortgage Loan Reserve
Funds, if any, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other remedies
available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds
to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time
Mortgage Lender and Lender are not the same Person or Affiliates and for any reason the Mortgage
Loan Reserve Funds are no longer being maintained and/or are reduced, waived or modified in any
material respect (in each case, including, without limitation, due to any waiver, defeasance,
amendment or refinance) (such Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds, the “Waived Reserve Funds”), to the
extent permitted to do so pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents (if applicable), Borrower shall
promptly (i) notify Lender of the same and establish and maintain with Lender and for the benefit
of Lender reserves in replacement and substitution thereof (the “Substitute Reserves”), which
Substitute Reserves shall be subject to all of the same terms and conditions applicable under the
Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) execute any amendments to this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents
relating to the Substitute Reserves reasonably required by Lender (provided such amendments are
substantially similar to the provisions set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to the
same) and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to acknowledge and agree to the same, (iii) remit to the
applicable Substitute Reserves (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to remit to the applicable
Substitute Reserves) any Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds remaining in the Waived Reserve Funds and (iv)
upon request by Lender, make a True Up Payment into the Substitute Reserves (provided, that, such
True Up Payment shall in no event exceed the amount of Waived Reserve Funds required to have been
on deposit with Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents as of the applicable date of
determination less any amounts remitted into the Substitute Reserve Funds corresponding to such
Waived Reserve Funds pursuant to the terms hereof).

     SECTION 8.3 Cash Management.

     (a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with the Mortgage Loan Cash Management
Provisions and not, without Lender’s prior consent, to materially amend, restate, replace and/or
otherwise materially modify the same. If requested by Lender (which such request shall be made no
more frequently than twice per calendar year (unless during a Trigger Period or in connection with
a Secondary Market Transaction)), Borrower will promptly provide evidence reasonably acceptable to
Lender of compliance with the foregoing. Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in
Borrower’s interest, if any, in each of the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Accounts, if any, subject
only to the prior rights of Mortgage Lender, and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in
each Mortgage Loan Cash Management Accounts

66

 

as additional security for payment of the Debt to the extent Borrower has an interest in same.
Subject to the prior rights of Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Accounts, if
any, until expended or applied in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Loan
Documents, Borrower’s interest in the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Accounts, if any, shall
constitute additional security for the Debt and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other remedies available to Lender,
apply any sums then present in any or all of the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Accounts to the
payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time
Mortgage Lender and Lender are not the same Person or Affiliates and for any reason the Mortgage
Loan Cash Management Accounts are no longer being maintained or cease to exist or are reduced,
waived or modified in any material respect (in each case, including, without limitation, due to any
waiver, defeasance, amendment or refinance) (such accounts, the “Waived Cash Management Accounts”
and such provisions, the “Waived Cash Management Provisions”), to the extent permitted to do so
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower shall promptly (i) notify Lender of the same and,
establish and maintain with Lender and for the benefit of Lender in replacement and substitution
thereof substitute accounts (the “Substitute Cash Management Accounts”), which Substitute Cash
Management Accounts shall be subject to all of the same terms and conditions applicable under the
Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) execute any amendments to this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents
implementing the Waived Cash Management Provisions as may be reasonably required by Lender
(provided such amendments are substantially similar to the provisions set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Documents relating to the same) and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to acknowledge and agree to
the same and (iii) to the extent applicable, remit to the applicable Substitute Cash Management
Accounts (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to remit to the applicable Substitute Cash Management
Accounts) any funds remaining in the Waived Cash Management Accounts.

     SECTION 8.4 The Accounts Generally.

     (a) Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in each of the Accounts and any and all sums
now or hereafter deposited in the Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until
expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Accounts and the funds deposited therein shall
constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 8.4 are
intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Accounts and the Account Collateral within
the meaning of the UCC. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Accounts are subject to the sole
dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the
terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Account except
with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein. The funds on deposit in
the Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by
Lender.

     (b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender and except
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Agreement, further
pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Accounts or the sums deposited therein or
permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any

67

 

UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with
respect thereto. Lender shall have the right to file a financing statement or statements under the
UCC in connection with any of the Accounts and the Account Collateral with respect thereto in the
form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein. Borrower agrees that at any
time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver
all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably
necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Account or Account Collateral.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from Lender
or Servicer (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Accounts and (ii) subject to any
prior rights of Mortgage Lender, Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the
Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Account Collateral as described in this
Agreement and in the Pledge Agreement, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a
secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or in the Pledge Agreement and subject to any prior rights of Mortgage Lender, may apply
the funds in such Accounts as Lender determines in its sole discretion including, but not limited
to, payment of the Debt.

     (d) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the
obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event
or circumstance whatsoever.

     (e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all
actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses
(including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way
connected with the Accounts, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for
which the Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. Borrower shall assign to Lender
all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other
services which are to be paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may
not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

     (f) Borrower and Lender shall maintain each applicable Account as an Eligible Account, except
as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Lender. In the event that Lender no longer
satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Institution, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in
transferring the applicable Accounts to an institution that satisfies such criteria. Borrower
hereby grants Lender power of attorney (irrevocable for so long as the Loan is outstanding) with
respect to any such transfers and the establishment of accounts with a successor institution.

     (g) Interest accrued, if any, on the Reserve Funds shall not be required to be remitted to any
Account and may instead be retained by Lender.

68

 

     (h) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain,
liable to Lender or Servicer for all reasonable fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection
with the Accounts, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any
reasonable monthly or annual fees or charges as may be assessed by Lender or Servicer in connection
with the administration of the Accounts and the Reserve Funds and the reasonable fees and expenses
of legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as reasonably needed to enforce, protect or preserve the
rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.

     SECTION 10.2 Remedies.

     (a) Subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above
with respect to Borrower and any SPE Component Entity only) and at any time thereafter Lender may,
in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without
notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower
and in the Collateral, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and
payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and may exercise all the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC against Borrower and the Collateral,
including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Upon any Event
of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above (with respect to Borrower and any SPE
Component Entity only), the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the
Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become
due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or
demand, anything contained herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents
to the contrary notwithstanding.

     (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or
more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower
under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and
delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any
time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and
payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action
for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note
or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall
be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together
or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other
rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth
herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, subject to the terms of
Article 13 hereof. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an
Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver
thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall
not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to
impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

     (c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Pledge Agreement
in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as
determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the

72

 

following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period
in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose
the Pledge Agreement to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to
accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the
Pledge Agreement to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate
and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or
more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure
payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.

     (d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have
the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more
separate notes, pledge agreements, security instruments and other security documents (the “Severed
Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for
purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance
agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance
described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled
with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to
effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue
thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power
until five (5) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to
exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan
Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or
covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained
in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

     (e) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an
Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of
the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

     (f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but
without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing
Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default
hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such
extent as Lender may deem necessary. Subject to the rights of Tenants under the Leases, Lender is
authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action
or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense
thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), with
interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and
payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such
Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any
action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the

73

 

period after such cost or expense was incurred through and including the date of payment to
Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated
at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the
liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be
immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.

ARTICLE 11.

SECONDARY MARKET

     SECTION 11.1 Securitization.

     (a) Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion
thereof as a whole loan, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan or (iii) to securitize
the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization.
The transaction referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall hereinafter be referred to
collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii)
shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization”. Any certificates, notes or other
securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”.

     (b) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to
which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the
Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, including, without
limitation, to:

     (i) (A) provide updated financial and other information with respect to the Property,
the business operated at the Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Operating
Partnership and Manager, (B) provide updated budgets relating to the Property and (C)
provide updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if
appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations
of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate
verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel
reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

     (ii) provide opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender, the Rating
Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to matters of Delaware
law relating to limited liability companies, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

     (iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction,
representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional
representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may reasonably require;

     (iv) provide such information, documents and agreements relating to the Property
Documents as Lender may reasonably request in connection with a Secondary Market
Transaction; and

74

 

     (v) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Mortgage Borrower’s, Borrower’s
or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by
Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization
including, without limitation, bifurcation of the Loan into two or more components and/or
separate notes and/or creating a senior/subordinate note structure (any of the foregoing, a
“Loan Bifurcation”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or
amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would change the interest rate,
the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, except in
connection with a Loan Bifurcation which may result in varying fixed interest rates, but
which shall have the same weighted average coupon of the original Note.

     (c) Borrower shall be responsible for any of Borrower’s out-of-pocket and internal costs and
expenses incurred in connection with Borrower’s compliance with this Section 11.1
(including, without limitation, Borrower’s attorney’s fees and expenses), subject to an
aggregate cap on such costs and expenses of $10,000.00, and provided that Borrower shall not be
required to reimburse Lender for Lender’s costs and expenses in connection with this Section
11.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall pay for
any costs and expenses with respect to items which Borrower is otherwise required to deliver
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.

     SECTION 11.2 Securitization Indemnification.

     (a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents,
counsel and representatives may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the
Securitization, including, without limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus
supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “Disclosure Document”)
and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective
investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the
Securitization.

     (b) Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private
placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as
applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents
specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Mortgage
Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Manager, Operating Partnership, Guarantor and all
other aspects of the Loan Documents, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) subject to the terms of Article 13
hereof, indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 11.2, Lender hereunder shall
include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
(“Wells”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the
“Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively,
the

75

 

“Wells Group”), and Wells, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the
Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Wells or any other
placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and
Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Wells Group
or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements
in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C)
agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Wells Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Wells Group and the Underwriter Group in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in
any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in
connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting
or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and
Mortgage Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property (the “Provided
Information”). The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective
whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided; provided, however, such
indemnity shall be limited to the Provided Information and shall only be effective to the extent
that Lender accurately states the Provided Information in the applicable Disclosure Document. The
aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

     (c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof,
Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Wells Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to
which Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the
Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to
make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group
in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower’s
liability under clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be effective only to the extent that Lender
accurately sets forth the Provided Information in the applicable Disclosure Document. The
obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.2(c) shall be in addition to but not in
duplication of Section 11.2(b) above

     (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 11.2 of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 11.2, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to
any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the
indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it

76

 

notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that
it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party under this Section 11.2, such indemnified party shall pay
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it
and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate
counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnified party
shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and
disbursements for which such indemnified party is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit
copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements
are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the indemnifying party is required hereunder
to indemnify such indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses
of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to another indemnified party.

     (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the
indemnity agreement provided for in Section 11.2(b) or (c) hereof is for any reason
held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be
indemnifiable under Section 11.2(b) or (c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective
parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Wells’ and Borrower’s relative
knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was
asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any
other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree
that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or
per capita allocation.

     (f) Subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof, Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify
Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates
against any Losses to which Lender or its officers, directors, partners, employees,
representatives, agents and Affiliates, may become subject in connection with any indemnification

     (vii) the failure of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower to deliver any security deposits,
advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property to Lender,
upon a foreclosure of the Property (or any portion thereof) or action in lieu thereof,

Title Policy, of Borrower, provided Lender had no knowledge of the subject defect, lien,
encumbrance or other matter creating or causing the applicable loss.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan

Document: (i) with respect to any Loan Document other than the Note, Borrower will issue, in lieu
thereof, a replacement thereof, dated the date of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as
applicable, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor and (ii) with respect
to the Note, (a) Borrower will execute a reaffirmation of the Debt as evidenced by such Note

delivery of this Agreement and thereafter, from time to time, will cause the UCC Financing
Statements (if any) perfecting the lien and security interest upon the Collateral created pursuant

     (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts
the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation and which imposes a tax, either
directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property Borrower will pay the tax,
with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the
payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the
basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than
ninety (90) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

     (b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of
the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property or any part
thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the
Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Security Instrument,

Applicable Law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days,
to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

     (c) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any
such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Pledge Agreement,
or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay
for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

     SECTION 15.5 Intentionally Omitted.

     SECTION 15.6 Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement.

     (a) Lender and Mortgage Lender, are parties to the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement
memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Loan, the Mortgage Loan,
Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, and the Property. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i)
such Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage
Lender and (ii) Mortgage Borrower and Borrower are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of
the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely

86

 

on any of the provisions contained therein. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are independent
of such Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions
thereof. From time to time, upon the request of Borrower, Lender shall provide Borrower with a
copy of any Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement then in effect with respect to the Loan for
informational purposes only.

     (b) In the event the Lender is required pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor
Agreement to pay over any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or
securities which is applied to the Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the
Property previously received by Lender on account of the Loan to the Mortgage Lender (the
“Disgorged Funds”), if any, then Borrower agrees that the Debt (or such portion of the Debt in the
amount of the Disgorged Funds) shall be reinstated such that any amount so paid shall continue to
be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of
such payment by Lender.

     SECTION 15.7 Discussions with Mortgage Lender.

In connection with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have
the right at any time to discuss the Property, the Collateral, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or any
other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender’s consultants, agents or
representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, nor shall
Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or Sponsor.

     SECTION 15.8 Independent Approval Rights.

     So long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding, if any action, proposed action or other decision
is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein such
consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender unless Mortgage Lender and Lender
are the same Person or Affiliates. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of
Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the
Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or
approval Mortgage Lender and Lender (at such time as they are not the same Person or Affiliates)
may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein, Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any
requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Further, the denial by Lender of a
requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the
denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage
Loan and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.

     SECTION 15.9 Mortgage Loan Events of Default.

     (a) Lender shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, to exercise Borrower’s
rights under the Mortgage Borrower LLC Agreement to cause Mortgage Borrower (i) to cure a Mortgage
Loan Event of Default and (ii) to satisfy any Liens, claims or judgments against the Property
(except for Liens permitted by the Mortgage Loan Documents), in the case

87

 

of either (i) or (ii), unless Borrower or Mortgage Borrower shall be diligently pursuing
remedies to cure the same subject to its rights set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents and such
cure rights have not expired and/or lapsed and/or Mortgage Borrower (or any Tenant) has the right
to contest the default in issue under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, and is diligently
contesting same subject to its rights set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents and such right to
contest have not expired and or lapsed. Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for any and all
reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with curing any such Mortgage Loan Event of
Default or satisfying any Liens, claims or judgments against the Property.

     (b) Subject to the rights of Tenants under Leases, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause
Mortgage Borrower to grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the
Property at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under this
Section 15.9. Subject to the rights of Tenants under Leases, Borrower shall not, and shall
not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower or cause any other Person to impede, interfere with, hinder
or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to exercise its rights under this Section
15.9 and to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise
protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan, the Collateral and the Property in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     (c) Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands,
costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees,
whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the
foregoing actions described in Section 15.9(a) above, provided that Borrower shall have no
obligation to indemnify Lender for losses arising from the gross negligence, illegal acts, bad
faith or willful misconduct of Lender or any Person designated by Lender to enter upon the
Property. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other Person to
make any such payment or performance.

     (d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents
sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon.

     (e) In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall
be subrogated to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the
Property and Mortgage Borrower with respect to Mortgage Borrower’s failure to make such payment in
addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or applicable law.

ARTICLE 16.

WAIVERS

     SECTION 16.1 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.

88

 

     Subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof, the rights, powers and remedies of Lender under
this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which
Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the
other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and
remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy,
right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or
shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default
with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event
of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

     SECTION 16.2 Modification, Waiver in Writing.

     No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any
departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to
any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances (unless such
notice or demand is otherwise specifically required herein or under any of the other Loan
Documents).

     SECTION 16.3 Delay Not a Waiver.

     Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance
of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege
under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or any other
instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other
right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting
payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the
Note or the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to
require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect
prompt payment of any such other amount.

     SECTION 16.4 Waiver of Trial by Jury.

     TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND LENDER, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
AGREEMENT, HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT. TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE

89

 

PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER OR BORROWER.

     SECTION 16.5 Waiver of Notice.

     Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except (a)
with respect to matters for which this Agreement specifically and expressly provides for the giving
of notice by Lender to Borrower and (b) with respect to matters for which Lender is required by
Applicable Law to give notice, and Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice
from Lender with respect to any matter for which (i) this Agreement does not specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and (ii) Lender is not required
under Applicable Law to give notice.

     SECTION 16.6 Remedies of Borrower.

     In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted
unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by Applicable Law or under this
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as
the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither
Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall
be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties
hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably, shall
be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it
shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

     SECTION 16.7 Marshalling and Other Matters.

     Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the benefit of all
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in
force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Pledge Agreement of the
Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives
any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the Pledge
Agreement on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in
or title to the Collateral subsequent to the date of the Pledge Agreement and on behalf of all
persons to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

     SECTION 16.8 Waiver of Statute of Limitations.

     To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases to
the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a
defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its obligations hereunder, under the Note, Pledge
Agreement or other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 16.9 Waiver of Counterclaim.

     Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or
compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

90

 

     SECTION 16.10 Sole Discretion of Lender.

     Wherever pursuant to this Agreement (a) Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or
disapprove, (b) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, or (c) any other decision
or determination is to be made by Lender, the decision to approve or disapprove all decisions that
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, and all other decisions and
determinations made by Lender, shall be in the sole discretion of Lender, except as may be
otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein.

ARTICLE 17.

by Lender.

     SECTION 17.6 Expenses. Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to
reimburse, Lender within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice from Lender for all

or (c) Lender exercises any of its other remedies under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the
Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall be chargeable with and agrees to pay all costs of

are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in
the body hereof.

     SECTION 17.9 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to
this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same

which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents,

94

 

and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in
any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to
interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or
proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

     SECTION 17.10 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

     (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under this Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing
herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint
tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property
other than that of secured party, pledgee or lender.

     (b) This Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are solely for
the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement,
the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and
Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the
Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person
shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance
with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a
beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

     (c) The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners
of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property
and the Collateral, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and business
plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property and the Collateral. Borrower
is not relying on Lender’s expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property or
the Collateral.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender is not undertaking the
performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to such
agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and
other documents.

     (e) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to
be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of
profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall
not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or
effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or
affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.

95

 

     (f) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the
Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the
truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement
without any obligation to investigate the Property and the Collateral and notwithstanding any
investigation of the Property and the Collateral by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part
of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material
inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and
accept this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the absence
of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement.

     SECTION 17.11 Publicity; Confidentiality. (a) All news releases, publicity or advertising by
Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to
this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the financing
evidenced by this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to Lender
or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be
unreasonably withheld. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or any of its
Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to this Agreement,
the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by this
Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower, Guarantor or any
of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower and/or Guarantor, as
applicable, not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower agrees that
Lender or any of its Affiliates may share additional information pertaining to the Loan in
connection with the sale, assignment or participation of any portion of Loan or if required by
Applicable Law, any audit of Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any applicable regulatory or
judicial proceeding or litigation.

     (b) Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, Lender shall utilize all non public
information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as
confidential or proprietary by the Borrower in accordance with its customary procedure for handling
confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices
but, notwithstanding the foregoing, may make disclosure: (a) to any of its Affiliates (provided any
such Affiliate shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of
this Section); (b) as requested by any bona fide assignee, participant, Investor, potential
investor, Rating Agency (which, for the purposes of this Section 17.11(b), shall include
any non-hired Rating Agency) or other transferee in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction
(provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (c) as required or
requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or
in connection with any legal proceedings; (d) to Lender’s independent auditors and other
professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the
information); (e) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the
exercise by Lender of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (f) to the
extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (y) becomes available to Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower or any Affiliate that is not known by Lender to be subject to a confidentiality
restriction with respect thereto.

96

 

     SECTION 17.12 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Wherever the phrase “during the
continuance of an Event of Default” or the like appears herein or in any other Loan Document, such
phrase shall not mean or imply that Lender has any obligation to accept a cure of such Event of
Default. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in
connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the
party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall
rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any
manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or
Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of
any rights or remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the
ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them
may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or
take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights
or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings
and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse-to or competitive
with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

     SECTION 17.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other
Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such
parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this
Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 17.14 Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one person, the obligations and
liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and
assigns forever.

     SECTION 17.15 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. The failure
of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the
other signatories from their obligations hereunder.

of Nonqualified Stock Options and/or Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to selected

on behalf of the Company and any Subsidiary.

(b) “Change in Control” means:

(i) any reorganization, liquidation or consolidation of the Company, or any merger or other

thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power
represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such transaction;

(ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company; or

13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
Company’s outstanding voting securities (except that for purposes of this definition, “person”
shall not include any person (or any person that controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with such person) who as of the date of an Option Agreement or a Restricted Stock or

holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or a corporation that is owned
directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same percentage as

for Options, Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Unit Awards 4,775,000 shares of Stock,

is cancelled without having been exercised in full, the Stock not purchased under such Option shall
revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. Shares of Stock that are issued
pursuant to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be either authorized and unissued
shares (which will not be subject to preemptive rights) or previously issued shares acquired by the
Company or any Subsidiary. Any shares of Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award that are
forfeited shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. If any Restricted

under the Plan.

(a) Board’s Power and Responsibilities. The Plan shall be administered by the Board

the vesting schedule for those shares of Stock and the date or dates on which the shares of Stock
which vest under the Award are actually to be issued;

(vi) construe and interpret the Plan and each Option, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement, and establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for the Plan’s
administration, and correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or any Option,
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement in a manner and to the extent it deems
necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective;

(vii) adopt such procedures and subplans and grant Options and Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Unit Awards on such terms and conditions as the Board determines necessary or
appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by individuals otherwise eligible to so participate
who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, or otherwise to conform to
applicable requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the United States;

(viii) prescribe and approve the form and content of certificates and agreements for use

limitations, forfeiture, vesting schedule, and other provisions of or relating to any Option or any
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award;

vesting of any Option or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award or the issuance of

(xi) amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any outstanding Option or any Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award and/or adjust the number and/or class of shares of Stock
subject to any outstanding Option or any outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Award, provided that no such amendment or adjustment shall reduce the exercise price of any Option
to a price lower than the Fair Market Value of the Stock covered by such Option on the date the
Option was granted;

(xii) at any time and from time to time after the granting of an Option or a Restricted Stock
or Restricted Stock Unit Award, specify such additional terms, conditions and restrictions with
respect to any such Option or any such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award as may be
deemed necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with any and all applicable laws or rules,
including, but not limited to, terms, restrictions and conditions for compliance with applicable
securities laws and methods of withholding or providing for the payment of required taxes;

 

4

 

(xiii) offer to buy out a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award previously granted,
based on such terms and conditions as the Board shall establish with and communicate to the
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participant at the time such offer is made;

(xiv) to the extent permitted under the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, permit the
transfer of a Restricted Stock Award by one other than the Restricted Stock Participant who
received the grant of such Restricted Stock Award; and

(xv) take any and all other actions it deems necessary for the purposes of the Plan.

The Board shall have full discretionary authority in all matters related to the discharge of
its responsibilities and the exercise of its authority under the Plan. Decisions and actions by the
Board with respect to the Plan and any Option Agreement or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons having or claiming to have any
right or interest in or under the Plan and/or any Option Agreement or Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

(b) Authority to Delegate to Committee. The Board may delegate administration of the
Plan to one or more Committees of the Board. Each such Committee shall consist of one or more
members appointed by the Board. Subject to the foregoing, the Board may from time to time increase
the size of any such Committee and appoint additional members, remove members (with or without
cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, or fill vacancies, however caused. If the
Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee, the Committee shall have the same powers
theretofore possessed by the Board with respect to the administration of the Plan (and references
in this Plan to the Board shall apply to the Committee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The
Board may abolish any such Committee at any time and revest in the Board the previously delegated
administration of the Plan.

(c) Authority to Delegate to Officers. The Board may delegate administration of
Sections 4(a)(i) through 4(a)(v) above to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; provided,
however, that such officer may not grant Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit
Awards covering more than 2,250,000 shares of Stock in the aggregate.

(d) Ten Year Grant Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option or any Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be granted after the expiration of ten years from the
effective date of the Plan specified in Section 15 below.

(e) Modification of Terms and Conditions through Employment or Consulting
Agreements. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Option Agreement or any Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, any modifications to the terms and conditions of any Option or any
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award permitted by Section 4(a) with respect to any
Employee or Consultant may be effected by including the modification in an employment or consulting
agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and the Optionee or the Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit Participant.

(f) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Vesting Limitations. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards
made to Employees or Consultants shall become vested over a period of not less than three years
(or, in the case of vesting based upon the attainment of performance-based objectives, over a
period of not less than one year) following the date the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Award is made, and the Board may not waive such vesting periods on a discretionary basis except in
the case of the death, disability or retirement of the Restricted Stock Participant or Restricted
Stock Unit Participant, a Change in Control, the terms and conditions of an employment or
consulting agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and the Restricted Stock Participant or
Restricted Stock Unit Participant (whether entered into prior to, on or after the Effective Date of
this Plan, as provided in Section 15(a) hereof) or pursuant to Section 4(e); provided, however,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards that result
in the issuance of an aggregate of up to 5% of the shares of Stock available pursuant to Section
3(a) may be granted to any one or more Employee and/or Consultant without respect to such minimum
vesting provisions and restrictions on waiver of this Section 4(f).

 

5

 

5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

Each Option granted shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement in substantially the form
attached hereto as Annex A or such other form as may be approved by the Board. Each Option
Agreement shall include the following terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions as
the Board may deem appropriate:

(a) Option Term. Each Option Agreement shall specify the term for which the Option
thereunder is granted and shall provide that such Option shall expire at the end of such term. The
Board may extend such term; provided that the term of any Option, including any such extensions,
shall not exceed five years from the date of grant.

(b) Exercise Price. Each Option Agreement shall specify the exercise price per share,
as determined by the Board at the time the Option is granted, which exercise price shall in no
event be less than the Fair Market Value when the Option is granted.

(c) Vesting. Each Option Agreement shall specify when it is exercisable. The total
number of shares of Stock subject to an Option may, but need not, be allotted in periodic
installments (which may, but need not, be equal). An Option Agreement may provide that from time to
time during each of such installment periods, the Option may become exercisable (“vest”) with
respect to some or all of the shares allotted to that period, and may be exercised with respect to
some or all of the shares allotted to such period or any prior period as to which the Option shall
have become vested but shall not have been fully exercised. An Option may be subject to such other
terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on
performance or other criteria) as the Board deems appropriate.

(d) Payment of Purchase Price on Exercise. Each Option Agreement shall provide that
the purchase price of the shares as to which such Option may be exercised shall be paid to the
Company at the time of exercise either (i) in cash, or (ii) in the absolute discretion of the Board
(which discretion may be exercised in a particular case without regard to any other case or cases),
at the time of the grant or thereafter, (A) by the withholding of shares of Stock issuable on
exercise of the Option or the delivery to the Company of other Stock owned by the Optionee,
provided in either case that the Optionee has owned shares of Stock equal in number to the shares
so withheld for a period sufficient to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings, (B)
subject to compliance with applicable law, according to a deferred payment or other arrangement
(which may include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of Stock) with the
person to whom the Option is granted or to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to Section 5(e),
(C) by delivery of a properly executed notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker
providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some
or all of the Stock being acquired upon the exercise of the Option, including, without limitation,
through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (a “cashless exercise”), or (D) in any
other form or combination of forms of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.

In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be payable at least annually
and shall be charged at the minimum rate necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any
applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under
the deferred payment arrangement, or if less, the maximum rate permitted by law.

(e) Transferability. An Option shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Optionee during his or her lifetime, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution
applicable to the Optionee, and shall not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar
process; provided that the Board may in its discretion at the time of approval of the grant of an
Option or thereafter permit an Optionee to transfer an Option to a trust or other entity
established by the Optionee for estate planning purposes, and may permit further transferability or
impose conditions or limitations on any permitted transferability. Otherwise, during the lifetime
of an Optionee, an Option shall be exercisable only by such Optionee. In the event any Option is to
be exercised by the executors, administrators, heirs or distributees of the estate of a deceased
Optionee, or such an Optionee’s beneficiary, in any such case pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Plan and the applicable Option Agreement and in accordance with such terms and conditions as
may be specified from time to time by the Board, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue
Stock thereunder unless and until the Board is satisfied that the person to receive such Stock is
the duly appointed legal
representative of the deceased Optionee’s estate or the proper legatee or distributee thereof
or the named beneficiary of such Optionee.

 

6

 

(f) Exercise of Option After Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies (i) while an
Employee, Director or Consultant, or (ii) within three months after termination of the Optionee’s
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant because of his or her Disability or
retirement, his or her Options may be exercised (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to do
so on the date of death or termination) by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who shall have
acquired the right to exercise the Options by bequest or inheritance, but only within the period
ending on the earlier of (A) one year after the Optionee’s death (or such shorter or longer period
specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six months), or (B) the
expiration date specified in the Option Agreement. If, after the Optionee’s death, the Optionee’s
estate or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Optionee’s Options does not exercise
the Options within the time specified herein, the Options shall terminate and the shares covered by
such Options shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

(g) Exercise of Option After Termination of Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant as a Result of Disability or Retirement. If an Optionee’s Continuous
Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates as a result of the Optionee’s Disability
or retirement, and the Optionee does not die within the following three months, the Optionee may
exercise his or her Options (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise them on the
date of termination), but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) six months after
Disability or retirement (or such longer period specified in the Option Agreement), and (ii) the
expiration of the term set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionee does
not exercise his or her Options within the time specified herein, the Options shall terminate, and
the shares covered by such Options shall revert to and again become available for issuance under
the Plan.

(h) No Exercise of Option After Termination of Optionee’s Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant Other Than as a Result of Death, Disability or Retirement. If
an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates other than as a
result of the Optionee’s death, Disability or retirement, all right of the Optionee to exercise his
or her Options shall terminate on the date of termination of such Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant. The Options shall terminate on such termination date, and the shares
covered by such Options shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

(i) Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsections (f), (g) and (h), the Board shall have the
authority to extend the expiration date of any outstanding Option in circumstances in which it
deems such action to be appropriate, provided that no such extension shall extend the term of an
Option beyond the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.

(j) Company’s Repurchase Right or Option Shares. Each Option Agreement may, but is not
required to, include provisions whereby the Company shall have the right to repurchase any and all
shares acquired by an Optionee on exercise of any Option granted under the Plan, at such price and
on such other terms and conditions as the Board may approve and as may be set forth in the Option
Agreement. Such right shall be exercisable by the Company after termination of an Optionee’s
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, whenever such termination may occur and
whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary, with cause or without cause, without regard
to the reason therefor, if any.

6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

(a) Restricted Stock Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced
by a Restricted Stock Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B or such other
form as may be approved by the Board. Each Restricted Stock Agreement shall be executed by the
Company and the Restricted Stock Participant to whom such Restricted Stock Award has been granted,
unless the Restricted Stock Agreement provides otherwise; two or more Restricted Stock Awards
granted to a single Restricted Stock Participant may, however, be combined in a single Restricted
Stock Agreement. A Restricted Stock Agreement shall not be a precondition to the granting of a
Restricted Stock Award; no person shall have any rights under any Restricted Stock Award, however,
unless and until the Restricted Stock Participant to whom the Restricted Stock Award shall have
been granted (i) shall have executed and delivered to the Company a Restricted Stock Agreement or
other instrument evidencing the Restricted
Stock Award, unless such Restricted Stock Agreement provides otherwise, (ii) has satisfied the
applicable federal, state, local and/or foreign income and employment withholding tax liability
with respect to the shares of Stock which vest or become issuable under the Restricted Stock Award,
and (iii) has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock
Award.

 

7

 

(b) Restricted Stock Awards Subject to Plan. All Restricted Stock Awards under the
Plan shall be subject to all the applicable provisions of the Plan, including the following terms
and conditions, and to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent therewith, as the Board
shall determine and which are set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement.

(i) The Restricted Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award shall entitle the Restricted
Stock Participant to receive shares of Restricted Stock, which vest over the Restriction Period.
The Board shall have the discretionary authority to authorize Restricted Stock Awards and determine
the Restriction Period for each such award.

(ii) Subject to the terms and restrictions of this Section 6 or the applicable Restricted
Stock Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Board, upon delivery of Restricted Stock to a
Restricted Stock Participant, or upon creation of a book entry evidencing a Restricted Stock
Participant’s ownership of shares of Restricted Stock, pursuant to Section 6(f), the Restricted
Stock Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares.

(c) Cash Payment. The Board may make any such Restricted Stock Award without the
requirement of any cash payment from the Restricted Stock Participant to whom such Restricted Stock
Award is made, or may require a cash payment from such a Restricted Stock Participant in an amount
no greater than the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Restricted Stock as of the date of grant in
exchange for, or as a condition precedent to, the completion of such Restricted Stock Award and the
issuance of such shares of Restricted Stock.

(d) Transferability. During the Restriction Period stated in the Restricted Stock
Agreement, the Restricted Stock Participant who receives a Restricted Stock Award shall not be
permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of such Restricted Stock
whether by operation of law or otherwise and shall not be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. Any attempt by such Restricted Stock Participant to do so shall constitute the
immediate and automatic forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Restricted Stock Agreement may permit the payment or distribution of a Restricted Stock
Participant’s Award (or any portion thereof) after his or her death to the beneficiary most
recently named by such Restricted Stock Participant in a written designation thereof filed with the
Company, or, in lieu of any such surviving beneficiary, as designated by the Restricted Stock
Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event any Restricted Stock
Award is to be paid or distributed to the executors, administrators, heirs or distributees of the
estate of a deceased Restricted Stock Participant, or such a Restricted Stock Participant’s
beneficiary, in any such case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable
Restricted Stock Agreement and in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be specified
from time to time by the Board, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue Stock thereunder
unless and until the Board is satisfied that each person to receive such Stock is the duly
appointed legal representative of the deceased Restricted Stock Participant’s estate or the proper
legatee or distributee thereof or the named beneficiary of such Restricted Stock Participant.

(e) Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. If, during the Restriction Period, the Restricted
Stock Participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates for any
reason, all of such Restricted Stock Participant’s shares of Restricted Stock as to which the
Restriction Period has not yet expired shall be forfeited and revert to the Plan, unless the Board
has provided otherwise in the Restricted Stock Agreement or in an employment or consulting
agreement with the Restricted Stock Participant, or the Board, in its discretion, otherwise
determines to waive such forfeiture.

(f) Receipt of Stock Certificates. Each Restricted Stock Participant who receives a
Restricted Stock Award shall be issued one or more stock certificates in respect of such shares of
Restricted Stock. Any such stock certificates for shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in
the name of the Restricted Stock Participant but shall be appropriately legended and returned to
the Company or its agent by the recipient, together with a stock power or other appropriate
instrument of transfer, endorsed in blank by the recipient. Notwithstanding anything in the
foregoing to the contrary, in lieu of the issuance of certificates for any shares of Restricted
Stock during the
applicable Restriction Period, a “book entry” (i.e., a computerized or manual entry) may be
made in the records of the Company, or its designated agent, as the Board, in its discretion, may
deem appropriate, to evidence the ownership of such shares of Restricted Stock in the name of the
applicable Restricted Stock Participant. Such records of the Company or such agent shall, absent
manifest error, be binding on all Restricted Stock Participants hereunder. The holding of shares of
Restricted Stock by the Company or its agent, or the use of book entries to evidence the ownership
of shares of Restricted Stock, in accordance with this Section 6(f), shall not affect the rights of
Restricted Stock Participants as owners of their shares of Restricted Stock, nor affect the
Restriction Period applicable to such shares under the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement.

 

8

 

(g) Dividends. A Restricted Stock Participant who holds outstanding shares of
Restricted Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends paid thereon, other than dividends in the
form of the Company’s stock.

(h) Expiration of Restriction Period. A Restricted Stock Participant’s shares of
Restricted Stock shall become free of the foregoing restrictions on the earlier of a Change in
Control or the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period, and the Company shall, subject to
Sections 8(a) and 8(b), then deliver stock certificates evidencing such Stock to such Restricted
Stock Participant. Such certificates shall be freely transferable, subject to any market black-out
periods which may be imposed by the Company from time to time or insider trading policies to which
the Restricted Stock Participant may at the time be subject.

(i) Substitution of Restricted Stock Awards. The Board may accept the surrender of
outstanding shares of Restricted Stock (to the extent that the Restriction Period or other
restrictions applicable to such shares have not yet lapsed) and grant new Restricted Stock Awards
in substitution for such Restricted Stock.

7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS.

(a) Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be
evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex C
or such other form as may be approved by the Board. Each Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be
executed by the Company and the Restricted Stock Unit Participant to whom such Restricted Stock
Unit Award has been granted, unless the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement provides otherwise; two or
more Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted to a single Restricted Stock Unit Participant may,
however, be combined in a single Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. A Restricted Stock Unit Agreement
shall not be a precondition to the granting of a Restricted Stock Unit Award; however, no person
shall be entitled to receive any shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award unless
and until the Restricted Stock Unit Participant to whom the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall have
been granted (i) shall have executed and delivered to the Company a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement
or other instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Unit Award, unless such Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement provides otherwise, (ii) has satisfied the applicable federal, state, local and/or
foreign income and employment withholding tax liability with respect to the shares of Stock which
vest or become issuable under the Restricted Stock Unit Award and (iii) has otherwise complied with
all the other applicable terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit Award.

(b) Restricted Stock Unit Awards Subject to Plan. All Restricted Stock Unit Awards
under the Plan shall be subject to all the applicable provisions of the Plan, including the
following terms and conditions, and to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent therewith,
as the Board shall determine and which are set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement.

(i) The Restricted Stock Units subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall entitle the
Restricted Stock Unit Participant to receive the shares of Stock underlying those Units upon the
attainment of designated performance goals or the satisfaction of specified employment or service
requirements or upon the expiration of a designated time period following the attainment of such
goals or the satisfaction of the applicable service period. The Board shall have the discretionary
authority to determine the performance milestones or service period required for the vesting of the
Restricted Stock Units and the date or dates when the shares of Stock which vest under those
Restricted Stock Units are actually to be issued. The Board may alternatively provide the
Restricted Stock Unit Participant with the right to elect the issue date or dates for the shares of
Stock which vest under his or her Restricted Stock Unit Award. The issuance of vested shares under
the Restricted Stock Unit Award may be deferred to a date following the termination of the
Restricted Stock Unit Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

9

 

(ii) The Restricted Stock Unit Participant shall not have any stockholder rights with respect
to the shares of Stock subject to his or her Restricted Stock Unit Award until that Award vests and
the shares of Stock are actually issued thereunder. However, dividend-equivalent units may, in the
sole discretion of the Board, be paid or credited, either in cash or in actual or phantom shares of
Stock, on one or more outstanding Restricted Stock Units, subject to such terms and conditions as
the Board may deem appropriate.

(iii) An outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Award shall automatically terminate, and no shares
of Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of that Award, if the performance goals or
service requirements established for such Award are not attained or satisfied. The Board, however,
shall have the discretionary authority to issue vested shares of Stock under one or more
outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Awards as to which the designated performance goals or service
requirements have not been attained or satisfied.

(iv) Service requirements for the vesting of Restricted Stock Unit Awards may include service
as an Employee, Consultant or non-employee Director.

(c) No Cash Payment. Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall not require any cash payment
from the Restricted Stock Unit Participant to whom such Restricted Stock Unit Award is made, either
at the time such Award is made or at the time any shares of Stock become issuable under that Award.
However, the issuance of such shares shall be subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Participant’s
satisfaction of all applicable federal, state, local and/or foreign income and employment
withholding taxes.

(d) Transferability. The Restricted Stock Unit Participant who receives a Restricted
Stock Unit Award shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign, encumber or otherwise
dispose of his or her interest in such Award or the underlying shares of Stock, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, and such Award shall not be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. Any attempt by such Restricted Stock Unit Participant to do so shall constitute
the immediate and automatic forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Unit Award. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any shares of Stock which vest under the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement but which
remain unissued at the time of the Restricted Stock Unit Participant’s death shall be issued to the
beneficiary most recently named by such Restricted Stock Unit Participant in a written designation
thereof filed with the Company, or, in lieu of any such surviving beneficiary, as designated by the
Restricted Stock Unit Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event
such vested shares of Stock are to be issued to the executors, administrators, heirs or
distributees of the estate of a deceased Restricted Stock Unit Participant, or his or her
designated beneficiary, in any such case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the
applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and in accordance with such terms and conditions as may
be specified from time to time by the Board, the Company shall be under no obligation to effect
such issuance unless and until the Board is satisfied that each person to receive such Stock is the
duly appointed legal representative of the deceased Restricted Stock Unit Participant’s estate or
the proper legatee or distributee thereof or the named beneficiary of such Restricted Stock Unit
Participant.

(e) Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units. If the Restricted Stock Unit Participant’s
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates for any reason, all of the
Restricted Stock Units subject to his or her outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall, to the
extent not vested at that time, be forfeited, and no shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to
those forfeited Restricted Stock Units, unless the Board has provided in the Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement or in an employment or consulting agreement with the Restricted Stock Unit Participant
that no such forfeiture shall occur, or the Board, in its sole discretion, otherwise determines to
waive such forfeiture.

(f) Issuance of Stock Certificates. Each Restricted Stock Unit Participant who becomes
entitled to an issuance of shares of Stock following the vesting of his or her Restricted Stock
Unit Award shall, subject to Sections 8(a) and 8(b), be issued one or more stock certificates for
those shares. Subject to such Sections 8(a) and 8(b), each such stock certificate shall be
registered in the name of the Restricted Stock Unit Participant and shall be freely transferable,
subject to any market black-out periods which may be imposed by the Company from time to time or
insider trading policies to which the Restricted Stock Unit Participant may at the time be subject.

 

10

 

8. CONDITIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

(a) Securities Law Compliance. The Plan, the grant of Options and Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit Awards thereunder, the exercise of Options thereunder and the obligation of
the Company to issue shares of Stock on the exercise of Options, at the expiration of the
applicable Restriction Period for Restricted Stock or upon the occurrence of the designated
issuance date for shares of Stock subject to vested Restricted Stock Units, shall be subject to all
applicable Federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any government or
regulatory agency as may be required, in the opinion of the Board. Options may not be exercised,
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards may not be granted, and shares of Stock may not
be issued if any such action would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or
foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or
market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. No Option may be exercised unless (i) a
registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in
effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of
legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in
accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. No Stock may be issued in connection with a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Unit Award unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of
issuance of the Stock be in effect with respect to the shares of Stock to be issued or (ii) in the
opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares of Stock to be issued on expiration of the
applicable Restriction Period or upon the designated issuance date for vested Restricted Stock
Units may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body
having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to
the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not
have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of any Option and the issuance of any Stock in
connection with a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Company may require the
Optionee or the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participant to satisfy any qualifications
that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation
and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

(b) Investment Representations. The Company may require any Optionee or a Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participant, or any person to whom an Option or Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit Award is transferred, as a condition of exercising such Option or receiving
shares of Stock pursuant to such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award, to (A) give
written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to such person’s knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to
the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters, and that he or
she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and
risks of exercising the Option or receiving such Stock, and (B) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is acquiring the Stock for such person’s own
account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Stock. The
foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall not apply if
(1) the issuance of the Stock has been registered under a then currently effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, or (2) counsel for the Company determines as to any particular
requirement that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable
securities laws. The Company may, with the advice of its counsel, place such legends on stock
certificates issued under the Plan as the Company deems necessary or appropriate to comply with
applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the
Stock.

9. ADJUSTMENTS ON CERTAIN EVENTS.

(a) No Effect on Powers of Board or Shareholders. The existence of the Plan and any
Options or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted hereunder shall not affect
in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize
any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the capital structure or
business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any merger or consolidation of the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company, any issue of debt, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or
affecting Stock, the authorization or issuance of additional shares of Stock, the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or its subsidiaries, any sale or transfer of all or part of its assets
or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

 

11

 

(b) Changes in Control.

(i) Options. Each Option Agreement shall provide that in the event that the Company
is subject to a Change in Control:

(A) immediately prior thereto all outstanding Options shall be automatically accelerated and
become immediately exercisable as to all of the shares of Stock covered thereby, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Option Agreement; and

(B) the Board may, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems
appropriate, by resolution adopted by the Board or by the terms of any agreement of sale, merger or
consolidation giving rise to the Change in Control, provide that, without Optionee’s consent, the
shares subject to an Option may (1) continue as an immediately exercisable Option of the Company
(if the Company is the surviving corporation), (2) be assumed as immediately exercisable Options by
the surviving corporation or its parent, (3) be substituted by immediately exercisable options
granted by the surviving corporation or its parent with substantially the same terms for the
Option, or (4) be cancelled after payment to the Optionee of an amount in cash or other
consideration delivered to stockholders of the Company in the transaction resulting in a Change in
Control of the Company equal to the total number of shares subject to the Option multiplied by the
remainder of (i) the amount per share to be received by holders of the Company’s Stock in the sale,
merger or consolidation, minus (ii) the exercise price per share of the shares subject to the
Option.

(ii) Restricted Stock Awards. Each Restricted Stock Agreement shall provide that,
immediately prior to a Change in Control, all restrictions imposed by the Board on any outstanding
Restricted Stock Award shall be automatically canceled, the Restriction Period applicable to all
outstanding Restricted Stock Awards shall immediately terminate, and such Restricted Stock Awards
shall be fully vested, subject to the Restricted Stock Participant’s satisfaction of all applicable
federal, state, local and/or foreign income and employment withholding taxes. Any applicable
performance goals shall be deemed achieved at not less than the target level, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Restricted Stock Agreement.

(iii) Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Each Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall provide
that, immediately upon a Change in Control, the Restricted Stock Units subject to such Agreement
shall automatically vest in full, and the shares subject to those vested Restricted Stock Units
shall be issued, notwithstanding any deferred issuance date otherwise in effect at the time for
such shares, subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Participant’s satisfaction of all applicable
federal, state, local and/or foreign income and employment withholding taxes. Accordingly, all
performance milestones or service requirements in effect for those Restricted Stock Units shall be
deemed to have been fully achieved or completed, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Plan or the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

(c) Adjustment Of Shares. The aggregate number, class and kind of shares of stock
available for issuance under the Plan, the aggregate number, class and kind of shares of stock as
to which Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted, the limitation set forth
in Section 4(c) on the number of shares of Stock that may be issued by a single officer under the
Plan, the number, class and kind of shares under each outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Unit Award, the exercise price of each Option and the number of shares purchasable on
exercise of such Option shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board in its discretion to preserve
the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to
any outstanding Options or any outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards or
otherwise necessary to reflect any such change, if the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in, or make
a distribution of, shares of Stock (or securities convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise
entitling a holder thereof to receive Stock), or evidences of indebtedness or other property or
assets, on outstanding Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Stock into a greater number
of shares, (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv)
issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Stock (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting
corporation). An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 9(c) shall, in the case of a dividend or
distribution, be made as of the record date therefor and, in the case of a subdivision, combination
or reclassification, be made as of the effective date thereof. In case of any adjustment pursuant
to this Section 9(c) with respect to an Option, the total number of shares and the number of shares
or other units of such other securities

 

12

 

purchasable on exercise of the Option immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that the Optionee shall be entitled to receive at the same aggregate purchase
price the number of shares of Stock and the number of shares or other units of such other
securities that the Optionee would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately
following the occurrence of any of the events described above had the Option been exercised in full
immediately prior to the occurrence (or applicable record date) of such event. If, as a result of
any adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(c), the Optionee shall become entitled to receive shares
of two or more classes or series of securities of the Company, the Board shall equitably determine
the allocation of the adjusted exercise price between or among shares or other units of such
classes or series and shall notify the Optionee of such allocation. Any new or additional shares or
securities received by a Restricted Stock Participant shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions, including the Restriction Period, as related to the original Restricted Stock Award.

(d) Receipt of Assets Other Than Stock. If at any time, as a result of an adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 9, an Optionee or a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Participant shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock or shares or other units
of other securities or property or assets other than Stock, the number of such other shares or
units so receivable on any exercise of the Option or expiration of the Restriction Period or the
designated issuance date for the securities subject to vested Restricted Stock Units shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares of Stock in this Section 9, and the
provisions of this Plan with respect to the shares of Stock shall apply, with necessary changes in
points of detail, on like terms to any such other shares or units.

(e) Fractional Shares. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be, in the case of
exercise price, rounded up to the nearest cent or, in the case of shares, rounded down to the
nearest one-hundredth of a share, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue any
fractional share.

(f) Inability to Prevent Acts Described in Section 9; Uniformity of Actions Not
Required. No Optionee and no Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participant shall have
or be deemed to have any right to prevent the consummation of the acts described in this Section 9
affecting the number of shares of Stock subject to any Option or any Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Unit Award held by the Optionee or the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participant.
Any actions or determinations by the Board under this Section 9 need not be uniform as to all
outstanding Options or outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards, and need not
treat all Optionees or all Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participants identically.

10. TAX WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

(a) General Authorization. The Company is authorized to take whatever actions are
necessary and proper to satisfy all obligations of Optionees and Restricted Stock and Restricted
Stock Unit Participants (including, for purposes of this Section 10, any other person entitled to
exercise an Option or receive shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Unit Award under the Plan) for the payment of all federal, state, local and/or foreign taxes in
connection with any Option grant or exercise, any Restricted Stock Award or any Stock issuance
pursuant to a vested Restricted Stock Unit Award (including, but not limited to, actions pursuant
to the following Section 10(b)).

(b) Withholding Requirement and Procedure.

(i) Options. Whenever the Company proposes or is required to issue or transfer shares
of Stock with respect to an Option, the Company shall have the right to require the grantee to
remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and/or local withholding
tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares,
including, for each Optionee who is an Employee, the employee portion of the FICA (Social Security
and Medicare) taxes. Alternatively, the Company may issue or transfer such shares net of the number
of shares sufficient to satisfy the minimum withholding tax requirements. For withholding tax
purposes, the shares of Stock shall be valued on the date the withholding obligation is incurred.

 

13

 

(ii) Restricted Stock. Each Restricted Stock Participant shall, no later than the date
as of which the value of the Restricted Stock Award first becomes includible in the gross income of
the Restricted Stock Participant for income tax purposes, pay to the Company in cash, or make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment to the Company of, any taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to the Stock or other
property subject to such Restricted Stock Award, including, for each Restricted Stock
Participant who is an Employee, the employee portion of the FICA (Social Security and Medicare)
taxes applicable to the shares of Stock or other property. No Stock shall be delivered to a
Restricted Stock Participant with respect to a Restricted Stock Award until such payment or
arrangement has been made. The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to
deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Restricted Stock
Participant. Notwithstanding the above, the Board may, in its discretion and pursuant to procedures
approved by the Board, permit the Restricted Stock Participant to elect withholding by the Company
of Stock or other property otherwise deliverable to such Restricted Stock Participant pursuant to
his or her Restricted Stock Award, provided, however, that the amount of any Stock so withheld
shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations
using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state and/or local tax purposes,
including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income in full or partial
satisfaction of such tax obligations, based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the payment
date.

(c) Section 83(b) Election. If a Restricted Stock Participant makes an election under
Code Section 83(b), or any successor section thereto, to be taxed with respect to a Restricted
Stock Award as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates
on which the Restricted Stock Participant would otherwise be taxable under Code Section 83(a), such
Restricted Stock Participant shall deliver a copy of such election to the Company immediately after
filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service. Neither the Company nor any of its
affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility relating to or arising out of the filing or
not filing of any such election or any defects in its construction.

(d) Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit Participant shall comply with
the following tax withholding requirements:

(i) Income Taxes. The Restricted Stock Unit Participant shall no later than the date
as of which the shares of Stock which vest under his or her vested Restricted Stock Unit Award
first becomes includible in his or her gross income for income tax purposes, pay to the Company in
cash, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment to the Company of, any
income taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the Stock or other property issuable
pursuant to such vested Restricted Stock Unit Award.

(ii) Employment Taxes. Any Restricted Stock Unit Participant who is an Employee shall
be liable for the payment of the employee portion of the FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes
applicable to the shares of Stock subject to his or her Restricted Stock Unit Award at the time
those shares vest. The FICA taxes shall be based upon the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock
on the date those shares vest under the Restricted Stock Unit Award.

No Stock shall be delivered to a Restricted Stock Unit Participant with respect to a
Restricted Stock Unit Award until such income and employment withholding taxes have been collected.
The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to such Restricted Stock Unit Participant. Notwithstanding the
above, the Board may, in its discretion and pursuant to procedures approved by the Board, permit
the Restricted Stock Unit Participant to satisfy the federal, state and local income withholding
taxes applicable to the issued shares of Stock, together with any FICA withholding taxes due at the
time of such Stock issuance, by having the Company withhold shares of Stock (based on the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on the issuance date) or other property otherwise deliverable to such
Restricted Stock Unit Participant in settlement of his or her vested Restricted Stock Unit Award,
provided, however, that the amount of any Stock so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary
to satisfy the Company’s required income tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory
withholding rates for federal, state and/or local tax purposes, that are applicable to supplemental
taxable income

11. AMENDMENT, TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

(a) Amendment, Termination or Suspension of Plan. The Board, at any time and from time
to time, may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent necessary
and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company
shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as
required; provided further, however, that unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided
herein, no such termination, amendment or alteration shall be made that would materially impair the
previously accrued rights of any Optionee or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Unit Participant with respect to his or her Option or his or her Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit Award without his or her written consent.

 

14

 

(b) Amendment of Options and Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The
Board may amend the terms of any Option or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award
previously granted, including any Option Agreement or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement, retroactively or prospectively, but no such amendment shall materially impair the
previously accrued rights of any Optionee or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Participant with respect to any such Option or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award
without his or her written consent.

(c) Automatic Termination of Plan. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate
on the date that the aggregate the total number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan have been
issued pursuant to the Plan’s provisions, and no shares covered by a Restricted Stock Award are any
longer subject to any Restriction Period.

12. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, CONSULTANTS AND OTHER PERSONS.

Neither this Plan nor any Options or Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall
confer on any Optionee, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participant or other person:

(a) Any rights or claims under the Plan except in accordance with the provisions of the Plan
and the applicable agreement;

(b) Any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or any Subsidiary or
engagement as a Consultant or Director, nor shall they interfere in any way with the right of the
Company or any Subsidiary that employs or engages an Optionee or a Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Unit Participant to terminate that person’s employment or engagement at any time with or
without cause.

(c) Any right to be selected to participate in the Plan or to be granted an Option or a
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award; or

(d) Any right to receive any bonus, whether payable in cash or in Stock, or in any combination
thereof, from the Company or its subsidiaries, nor be construed as limiting in any way the right of
the Company or its subsidiaries to determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not it shall pay
any employee or consultant bonus, and, if so paid, the amount thereof and the manner of such
payment.

13. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.

So long as a class of the Company’s equity securities is registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, the Company intends that the Plan shall comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3. If
during such time any provision of this Plan is found not to be in compliance with Rule 16b-3, that
provision shall be deemed to have been amended or deleted as and to the extent necessary to comply
with Rule 16b-3, and the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect
without change. All transactions under the Plan during such time shall be executed in accordance
with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations promulgated
thereunder.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) Contractual Liability Limitation. Any liability of the Company or its subsidiaries
to any Optionee or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participant with respect to any
Option or any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be based solely on contractual
obligations created by the Plan and the Option Agreements and the Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Unit Agreements outstanding thereunder.

 

15

 

(b) Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may
have as Directors or officers, Directors and officers to whom authority to act for the Board or the
Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily
incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection
with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken
or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against
all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent
legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such
action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such
action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or
intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the
institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing,
the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same.

15. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Effective Date. The effective date of the Plan shall be the date the Plan is
approved by the stockholders of the Company or such later date as shall be determined by the Board.

(b) Acceptance of Terms and Conditions of Plan By accepting any benefit under the
Plan, each Optionee and each Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Participant and each person
claiming under or through such Optionee or such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated their acceptance and ratification of,
and consent to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and any action taken under the Plan by
the Company, the Board or the Committee, in any case in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Plan.

(c) No Effect on Other Arrangements. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor anything
contained herein shall affect any other compensation or incentive plans or arrangements of the
Company or its subsidiaries, or prevent or limit the right of the Company or any subsidiary to
establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for their Employees, Directors or
Consultants or grant or assume restricted stock or other rights otherwise than under the Plan.

(d) Choice of Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California, without regard to such state’s conflict of law provisions, and, in
any event, except as superseded by applicable Federal law.

Annex A

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Dear                     :

Waste Connections, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to its Third Amended and Restated 2004
Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), has granted to you an option to purchase shares of the common
stock of the Company (“Stock”). This option is not intended to qualify and will not be treated as
an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”).

The grant under this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) is in connection
with and in furtherance of the Company’s compensatory benefit plan for participation of the
Company’s Employees, Directors and Consultants. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

The option granted hereunder is subject to and governed by the following terms and conditions:

1. Award Date:                     

2. Number of Shares Subject to Option:                     

	 	3.	 	Vesting Schedule. Subject to the limitations herein and in the Plan, this option shall
become exercisable (vest) as follows:

	 	 	 
	Number of Shares	 	Date of Earliest Exercise
	(Installment)	 	(Vesting)
	 	 	 

The installments provided for are cumulative. Each such installment that becomes exercisable shall
remain exercisable until expiration or earlier termination of the option.

4. Exercise Price.

(a) The
exercise price of this option is $               per share.

(b) Payment of the exercise price per share is due in full in cash (including check) on
exercise of all or any part of each installment that has become exercisable by you; provided that,
if at the time of exercise the Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in the Wall Street
Journal, payment of the exercise price, to the extent permitted by the Company and applicable
statutes and regulations, may be made by having the Company withhold shares of Stock issuable on
such exercise, by delivering shares of Stock already owned by you, by cashless exercise described
in Section 5(d) of the Plan and complying with its provisions, or by delivering a combination of
such forms of payment. Such Stock (i) shall be valued at its Fair Market Value at the close of
business on the date of exercise, (ii) if originally acquired from the Company, must have been held
for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings, and (iii) must be
owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests.

 

Annex A: Page 1 

 

5. Partial or Early Exercise.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, you may elect at any time during your
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise this option as to any part or
all of the shares subject to this option at any time during the term hereof, including, without
limitation, a time prior to the date of earliest exercise (vesting) stated in paragraph 3 hereof;
provided that:

(i) a partial exercise of this option shall be deemed to cover first vested shares and then
unvested shares next vesting;

(ii) any shares so purchased that shall not have vested as of the date of exercise shall be
subject to the purchase option in favor of the Company as described in the Early Exercise Stock
Purchase Agreement available from the Company; and

(iii) you shall enter into an Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement in the form available
from the Company with a vesting schedule that will result in the same vesting as if no early
exercise had occurred.

(b) The election provided in this paragraph 5 to purchase shares on the exercise of this
option prior to the vesting dates shall cease on termination of your Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant and may not be exercised from or after the date thereof.

6. Fractional Shares. This option may not be exercised for any number of shares that would
require the issuance of anything other than whole shares.

7. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this option may
not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of
any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the
requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In
addition, this option may not be exercised unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities
Act shall at the time of exercise of the option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable
upon exercise of the option or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares
issuable upon exercise of the option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to
obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s
legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve
the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of any
option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or
appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any
representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

8. Term. The term of this option commences on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated as
set forth below or in the Plan, terminates on                      (which date shall be no more than
five years from the award date in Section 1 of this Agreement). In no event may this option be
exercised on or after the date on which it terminates. This option shall terminate prior to the
expiration of its term on the date of termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant for any reason or for no reason, unless:

(a) such termination is due to your retirement or Disability and you do not die within the
three months after such termination, in which event the option shall terminate on the earlier of
the termination date set forth above or six months after such termination of your Continuous Status
as an Employee, Director or Consultant; or

(b) such termination is due to your death, or such termination is due to your retirement or
Disability and you die within three months after such termination, in which event the option shall
terminate on the earlier of the termination date set forth above or the first anniversary of your
death.

 

Annex A: Page 2

 

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions to the contrary however, this option may be
exercised following termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant
only as to that number of shares as to which it shall have been exercisable under Section 2 of this
Agreement on the date of such termination.

9. Conditions on Exercise.

(a) This option may be exercised, to the extent specified above, by delivering a notice of
exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of
the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours,
together with such additional documents as the Company may then require pursuant to Section 7 of
the Plan.

(b) By exercising this option you agree that the Company (or a representative of the
underwriters) may, in connection with an underwritten registration of the offering of any
securities of the Company under the Exchange Act, require that you not sell or otherwise transfer
or dispose of any shares of Stock or other securities of the Company during such period (not to
exceed 180 days) following the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the registration statement
of the Company filed under the Exchange Act as may be requested by the Company or the
representative of the underwriters. For purposes of this restriction, you will be deemed to own
securities which (A) are owned directly or indirectly by you, including securities held for your
benefit by nominees, custodians, brokers or pledgees, (B) may be acquired by you within sixty days
of the Effective Date, (C) are owned directly or indirectly, by or for your brothers or sisters
(whether by whole or half blood), spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants, or (D) are owned,
directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust of which you are a
shareholder, partner or beneficiary, but only to the extent of your proportionate interest therein
as a shareholder, partner or beneficiary thereof. You further agree that the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until
the end of such period.

10. Adjustments on Certain Events.

(a) In the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control:

(i) immediately prior thereto this option shall be automatically accelerated and become
immediately exercisable as to all of the shares of Stock covered hereby, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement; and

(ii) the Board may, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems
appropriate, by resolution adopted by the Board or by the terms of any agreement of sale, merger or
consolidation giving rise to the Change in Control, provide that, without Optionee’s consent, the
shares subject to this option may (A) continue as an immediately exercisable option of the Company
(if the Company is the surviving corporation), (B) be assumed as immediately exercisable options by
the surviving corporation or its parent, (C) be substituted by immediately exercisable options
granted by the surviving corporation or its parent with substantially the same terms for this
option, or (D) be cancelled after payment to Optionee of an amount in cash or other consideration
delivered to stockholders of the Company in the transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the
Company equal to the total number of shares subject to this option multiplied by the remainder of
(1) the amount per share to be received by holders of the Company’s Stock in the sale, merger or
consolidation, minus (2) the exercise price per share of the shares subject to this option.

(b) The exercise price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the event that the
Company shall (i) pay a dividend in, or make a distribution of, shares of Stock (or securities
convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise entitling a holder thereof to receive Stock), or
evidences of indebtedness or other property or assets, on outstanding Stock, (ii) subdivide the
outstanding shares of Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine the outstanding shares
of Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting corporation). An adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall, in the case of a dividend or distribution, be made as of the
record date therefor and, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification, be made as
of the effective date thereof. In any such case, the total number of shares and the number of
shares or other units of such other securities purchasable on exercise of the option immediately
prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Optionee shall be entitled to receive at the same
aggregate purchase price
the number of shares of Stock and the number of shares or other units of such other securities
that the Optionee would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately following the
occurrence of any of the events described above had the option been exercised in full immediately
prior to the occurrence (or applicable record date) of such event. If, as a result of any
adjustment pursuant to this Section 10(b), the Optionee shall become entitled to receive shares of
two or more classes or series of securities of the Company, the Board shall equitably determine the
allocation of the adjusted exercise price between or among shares or other units of such classes or
series and shall notify the Optionee of such allocation.

 

Annex A: Page 3

 

(c) If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 10, the
Optionee shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock or shares or other units of
other securities or property or assets other than Stock, the number of such other shares or units
so receivable on any exercise of the option shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
shares of Stock in this Section 10, and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the shares
of Stock shall apply, with necessary changes in points of detail, on like terms to any such other
shares or units.

(d) All calculations under this Section 10 shall be, in the case of exercise price, rounded up
to the nearest cent or, in the case of shares subject to this option, rounded down to the nearest
one-hundredth of a share, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue any fractional
share on any exercise of the option.

11. Non-Transferability. This option is generally not transferable, except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution, unless the Company expressly permits a transfer, such as to a
trust or other entity for estate planning purposes. Unless the Company approves such a transfer,
this option is exercisable during your life only by you.

12. Rights of Optionee. This Agreement is not an employment contract and nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue
in the employ of the Company, or of the Company to continue your employment with the Company. If
this option is granted to you in connection with your performance of services as a Consultant,
references to employment, Employee and similar terms shall be deemed to include the performance of
services as a Consultant; provided that no rights as an Employee shall arise by reason of the use
of such terms.

13. Tax Withholding Obligations. Whenever the Company proposes or is required to issue or
transfer shares of Stock to you with respect to an Option, the Company shall have the right to
require you to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state or local
withholding tax requirements, including your applicable share of any employment taxes, prior to the
delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares. Alternatively, the Company may issue
or transfer such shares net of the number of shares sufficient to satisfy the withholding tax
requirements. For withholding tax purposes, the shares of Stock shall be valued on the date the
withholding obligation is incurred.

14. Notice. Any notice or other communication to be given under or in connection with this
Agreement or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given on receipt
or, in the case of notices from the Company to you, five days after deposit in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address specified below or at such other address as
you may hereafter designate by notice to the Company.

15. Agreement Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subject to all provisions of the Plan, a copy
of which is attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement, and is further subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and
adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

Annex B

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

Dear                     :

Waste Connections, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to its Third Amended and Restated 2004
Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) has granted to you an award of Restricted Stock (“Award”) in
shares of common stock of the Company (“Stock”). The Restricted Stock will be issued to you
subject to restrictions on transfer and otherwise, which will lapse over the Restricted Period,
provided that you maintain Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant.

The grant under this Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) is in connection with and in
furtherance of the Company’s compensatory benefit plan for participation of the Company’s
Employees, Directors and Consultants. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

The Award granted hereunder is subject to and governed by the following terms and conditions:

	 	1.	 	Award Date:                    .

	 
	 	2.	 	Number of Shares Subject to Award:                    .

	 
	 	3.	 	Purchase Price. The purchase price for each share of Stock awarded by this Agreement is
$                    .

	 
	 	4.	 	Vesting Schedule. The Award of Restricted Stock shall be deemed non-forfeitable and
such Stock shall no longer be considered Restricted Stock on the earlier of a Change in
Control or the expiration of the Restriction Period on the following dates with respect to
the following percentages of the total shares of Restricted Stock awarded, and the Company
shall, within a reasonable time and subject to Section 5, deliver stock certificates
evidencing such Stock to you:

(a) Schedule of Expiration of Restriction Period. The overall restriction period, which begins
on the date of the grant of the Award and ends on the
 _____ 
anniversary of the grant of the
Award (the “Restriction Period”), expires in
 _____ 
equal phases:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Restriction Period Expires with	 
	 	 	Respect to the Following	 
	 	 	Percentage of Total Shares of	 
	Date	 	Restricted Stock Awarded	 
	On grant
	 	 	0	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	As of __________, 20__ (first anniversary of grant)

	[As of __________, 20__ (fourth anniversary of grant)]
	 	 	[__	%]

 

Annex B: Page 1

 

(b) Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. If, during the Restriction Period, your Continuous Status
as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates for any reason, you will forfeit any shares of
Restricted Stock as to which the Restriction Period has not yet expired.

5. Conditions on Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

(a) Securities Law Compliance. Awards may not be granted and shares of stock may not be issued
if either such action would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market
system on which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Stock may be issued unless (a) a
registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of issuance of the Stock be in
effect with respect to the shares of Stock to be issued or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to
the Company, the shares of Stock to be issued on expiration of the applicable Restriction Period
may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body
having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to
the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not
have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of any Stock, the Company may require you to
satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any
applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may
be requested by the Company.

(b) Investment Representation. The Company may require you, or any person to whom an Award is
transferred, as a condition of receiving shares of Stock pursuant to such Award, to (A) give
written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to your knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who
is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters, and that you are capable of
evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of receiving
such Stock, and (B) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that you are
acquiring the Stock for your own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise
distributing the Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such
requirements, shall not apply if (1) the issuance of the Stock has been registered under a then
currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (2) counsel for the Company
determines as to any particular requirement that such requirement need not be met in the
circumstances under the then applicable securities laws.

6. Non-Transferability of Award. During the Restriction Period stated herein, you shall not
sell, transfer, pledge, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock whether by
operation of law or otherwise and shall not make such Restricted Stock subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. Any attempt by you to do so shall constitute the immediate and
automatic forfeiture of such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may designate the payment or
distribution of the Award (or any portion thereof) after your death to the beneficiary most
recently named by you in a written designation thereof filed with the Company, or, in lieu of any
such surviving beneficiary, as designated by you by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. In the event any Award is to be paid or distributed to the executors, administrators,
heirs or distributees of your estate, or to your beneficiary, in any such case pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Plan and in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be
specified from time to time by the Committee, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue
Stock thereunder unless and until the Committee is satisfied that the person or persons to receive
such Stock is the duly appointed legal representative of your estate or the proper legatee or
distributee thereof or your named beneficiary.

7. Adjustments on Certain Events.

(a) Changes in Control. Immediately prior to a Change in Control, all restrictions imposed by
the Committee on any outstanding Award shall be immediately automatically canceled, the Restriction
Period shall immediately terminate and the Award shall be fully vested, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement.

 

Annex B: Page 2

 

(b) Adjustment of Shares. The number, class and kind of shares under the Award shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Committee in its discretion to preserve the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to the Award or otherwise
necessary to reflect any such change, if the
Company shall (i) pay a dividend in, or make a distribution of, shares of Stock (or securities
convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise entitling a holder thereof to receive Stock), or
evidences of indebtedness or other property or assets, on outstanding Stock, (ii) subdivide the
outstanding shares of Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine the outstanding shares
of Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting corporation). An adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall, in the case of a dividend or distribution, be made as of the
record date therefor and, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification, be made as
of the effective date thereof. Any new or additional shares or securities that you receive are
subject to the same terms and conditions, including the Restriction Period, as related to the
original Award.

(c) Receipt of Assets other than Stock. If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 7, you shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock or
shares or other units of other securities or property or assets other than Stock, the number of
such other shares or units so receivable on expiration of the Restriction Period shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the shares of Stock in this Section 7, and the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to the shares of Stock shall apply, with necessary changes in points of
detail, on like terms to any such other shares or units.

(d) Fractional Shares. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent
or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be, but in no event shall the Company
be obligated to issue any fractional share.

(e) Inability to Prevent Acts Described in Section 7; Uniformity of Actions Not Required. No
Restricted Stock Participant shall have or be deemed to have any right to prevent the consummation
of the acts described in this Section 7 affecting the number of shares of Stock subject to any
Award held by the Restricted Stock Participant. Any actions or determinations by the Committee
under this Section 7 need not be uniform as to all outstanding Awards, and need not treat all
Restricted Stock Participants identically.

8. Rights of Restricted Stock Participant. This Plan and the Awards shall not confer on you
or any other person:

(a) Any rights or claims under the Plan except in accordance with the provisions of the Plan
and the applicable agreement;

(b) Any right with respect to continuation of employment or a consulting or directorship
arrangement with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall they interfere in any way with the right
of the Company or any Subsidiary that employs you or engages you as a consultant or director to
terminate your employment or consulting or directorship arrangement at any time with or without
cause;

(c) Any right to be selected to participate in the Plan or to be granted an Award; or

(d) Any right to receive any bonus, whether payable in cash or in Stock, or in any
combination thereof, from the Company or its subsidiaries, nor be construed as limiting in any way
the right of the Company or its subsidiaries to determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not
it shall pay any employee, consultant or director bonuses, and, if so paid, the amount thereof and
the manner of such payment.

 

Annex B: Page 3

 

9. Tax Withholding Obligations.

(a) Withholding Requirement and Procedure. You shall (and in no event shall Stock be delivered
to you with respect to an Award until), no later than the date as of which the value of the Award
first becomes includible in your gross income for income tax purposes, pay to the Company in cash,
or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company, as determined in the Committee’s discretion,
regarding payment to the Company of, any taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with
respect to the Stock or other property subject to such Award, including your applicable share of
any employment taxes, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by
law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to
you. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may, in its discretion and pursuant to procedures
approved by the Committee, permit you to elect withholding by the Company of Stock or other
property otherwise deliverable to you pursuant to your Award, provided, however, that the amount of
any Stock so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax
withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal, state and/or
local tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income in
full or partial satisfaction of such tax obligations, based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock
on the payment date.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Dear                     :

Waste Connections, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to inform you that you have been awarded
Restricted Stock Units (the “Award”) under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2004 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share
of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the Plan, to the extent vested on the
vesting date of that unit. The Award will vest in a series of installments over your period of
continued service with the Company as set forth herein. Unlike a typical stock option program, the
shares will be issued to you as a bonus for your continued service over the vesting period, without
any cash payment required from you. However, you must pay the applicable income and employment
withholding taxes (described below) when due.

The award under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is in connection with and in
furtherance of the Company’s compensatory benefit plan for participation of the Company’s
Employees, Directors and Consultants. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

This Agreement sets the number of shares of the Common Stock subject to your award, the applicable
vesting schedule for the issuance of those shares, and the remaining terms and conditions governing
your award.

Award Date:                     

Number of Shares Subject to Award:                      shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”)

Vesting Schedule: The Award will vest and become issuable in a series of four (4)
successive equal annual installments upon your completion of each year of Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant over the four (4)-year period measured from the Award Date.
However, no Shares with respect to which the Award has vested in accordance with such schedule will
actually be issued until you satisfy all applicable income and employment withholding taxes. The
Shares subject to the Award that have become vested are referred to as “Vested Award Units.”

Other important features of your Award may be summarized as follows:

1. Forfeitability: Should your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant cease
for any reason prior to vesting in one or more installments of the Shares subject to your Award,
then your Award will be cancelled with respect to the unvested Shares and the number of your
Restricted Stock Units will be reduced accordingly, and you will cease to have any right or
entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.

2. Transferability: Prior to your actual receipt of the Shares pursuant to your Award, you may
not transfer any interest in your Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the
sale of those Shares, including (without limitation) any short sale, put or call option or any
other instrument tied to the value of those Shares. Any attempt by you to do so will result in an
immediate forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units awarded to you hereunder. However, your right
to receive any Shares which have vested under your Restricted Stock Units but which remain unissued
at the time of your death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of your will or the laws of
inheritance or to your designated beneficiary following your death. In the event the Shares which
vest hereunder are to be issued to the
executors, administrators, heirs or distributees of your estate or to your designated beneficiary,
the Company shall be under no obligation to effect such issuance unless and until the Committee is
satisfied that the person to receive those Shares is the duly appointed legal representative of
your estate or the proper legatee or distributee thereof or your named beneficiary.

 

Annex C: Page 1

 

Any Shares issued to you pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may not be sold or
transferred in contravention of (i) any market black-out periods the Company may impose from time
to time or (ii) the Company’s insider trading policies to the extent applicable to you.

3. Adjustments: The number, class and kind of securities subject to your Restricted Stock
Units hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee in its discretion to preserve the
benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to
those Restricted Stock Units or as otherwise necessary to reflect any such change, if the Company
shall (i) pay a dividend in, or make a distribution of, shares of Common Stock (or securities
convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise entitling a holder thereof to receive such Common
Stock), or evidences of indebtedness or other property or assets, on the outstanding Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii)
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue any
shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of such Common Stock (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting
corporation). An adjustment made pursuant to this section 3 shall, in the case of a dividend or
distribution, be made as of the record date therefor and, in the case of a subdivision, combination
or reclassification, be made as of the effective date thereof.

4. Federal Income Taxation: You generally will recognize ordinary income for federal income
tax purposes on the date the Shares subject to your Award vest, and you must satisfy the income tax
withholding obligation applicable to that income. The amount of your taxable income will generally
be based on the closing selling price per share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on
the date your Vested Award Units are issued and distributed times the number of Shares which are
distributed on that date. This is a general summary of the possible tax consequences of the Award
and is not tax advice. You are advised to consult with your own advisor as to the possible tax
consequences of this Award.

5. FICA Taxes: You will be liable for the payment of the employee share of the FICA (Social
Security and Medicare) taxes applicable to your Award, which liability will generally arise at the
time your Award vests. FICA taxes will generally be based on the closing selling price of the
shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date those Shares vest under your Award.

6. Withholding Taxes: You must pay all applicable federal, state and local income and
employment withholding taxes when due.

(a) In the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may collect any applicable federal, state
and local income and employment withholding taxes with respect to the Award through an automatic
Share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Company will withhold a portion of those vested
Shares with a fair market value (measured as of the date the withholding obligation arises) equal
to the amount of such withholding taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”); provided, however, that
the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s
required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal,
state and local tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable
income. You shall be notified in writing in the event such Share Withholding Method is no longer
available.

 

Annex C:
Page 2

 

(b) Should any Shares vest under the Award at a time when the Share Withholding Method is not
available, then the Company may, in its sole discretion, collect any applicable federal, state and
local income and employment withholding taxes from you through any of the following alternatives:

• your delivery of a separate check payable to the Company in the amount of such withholding taxes,
or

• the use of the proceeds from a next-day sale of the Shares issued to you; provided and only if
(i) such a sale is permissible under the Company’s trading policies governing the sale of Common
Stock, (ii) you make an irrevocable commitment, on or before the vesting date for those Shares, to
effect such sale of the Shares and (iii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a
prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

7. Stockholder Rights: You will not have any stockholder rights, including voting rights and
actual dividend rights, with respect to the Shares subject to your Award until you become the
record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance to you and your satisfaction of the
applicable withholding taxes.

8. Dividend Equivalent Rights: Should the Board in its discretion declare an extraordinary
cash dividend on the Common Stock at a time when unissued shares of such Common Stock are subject
to your Award, then the number of Shares at that time subject to your Award will automatically be
increased on the date the dividend is paid by an amount determined in accordance with the following
formula, rounded down to the nearest whole share:

X = (A x B)/C, where

X = the additional number of Shares which will become subject to your Award by reason of the
extraordinary cash dividend;

A = the number of unissued Shares subject to this Award as of the record date for such dividend;

B = the per Share amount of the cash dividend; and

C = the closing selling price per share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the
payment date of such dividend.

The additional Shares resulting from such calculation will be subject to the same terms and
conditions as the unissued Shares to which they relate under your Award. The Board has the
discretion to determine when a cash dividend shall be considered extraordinary. Your Award
will not be adjusted to reflect regular or periodic cash dividends. In order for you to
receive a dividend equivalent increase to the number of Shares subject to your Award, you
must be in Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant on the date the
extraordinary dividend is actually paid. These dividend equivalent rights and any amounts
that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the
Restricted Stock Units and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the
designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A of the Code.

9. Change in Control: In the event of a Change in Control, the vesting of the Shares subject
to your Award will accelerate in full immediately upon such Change in Control.

 

Annex C:
Page 3

 

10. Securities Law Compliance: No Shares will be issued pursuant to your Award if such
issuance would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws
or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system on which the
Common Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Shares will be issued unless:

(a) a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect at that time with respect
to the Shares to be issued; or

(b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, those Shares may be issued in accordance
with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to
the lawful issuance of any Shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not
have been obtained. As a condition to the issuance of any Shares, the Company may require
you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence
compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty
with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company delays a distribution or payment in
settlement of the Award because it reasonably determines that the issuance of shares of Common
Stock in settlement of the Award will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law, such
distribution or payment shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably
determines that the making of such distribution or payment will not cause such violation, as
required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii). The Company shall not delay any
payment if such delay will result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code.

11. Notice: Any notice or other communication to be given under or in connection with this
Agreement or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given on receipt
or, in the case of notices from the Company to you, five days after deposit in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address specified below or at such other address as
you may hereafter designate by notice to the Company.

12. Remaining Terms: The remaining terms and conditions of your Award are governed by the
Plan, and your Award is also subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations
which may from time to time be adopted under the Plan. Along with this Agreement, you also
received a copy of the official prospectus summarizing the principal features of the Plan. Please
review the plan prospectus carefully so that you fully understand your rights and benefits under
your Award and the limitations, restrictions and vesting provisions applicable to the Award. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Plan, the
provisions of the Plan shall be controlling.

13. Limitations: Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer on you or any other
person:

(a) Any rights or claims under the Plan except in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and
the applicable Award agreement;

(b) Any right with respect to continuation of employment or a consulting or directorship
arrangement with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall they interfere in any way with the right
of the Company or any Subsidiary that employs you or engages you as a consultant or director to
terminate your employment or consulting or directorship arrangement at any time, with or without
cause;

(c) Any right to be selected to participate in the Plan or to be granted an Award; or

(d) Any right to receive any bonus, whether payable in cash or in Common Stock, or in any
combination

 

Annex C:

thereof, from the Company or its Subsidiaries, nor be construed as limiting in any way the right of
the Company or its Subsidiaries to determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not it shall pay
any employee, consultant or director bonuses, and, if so paid, the amount thereof and the manner of
such payment.

14. Section 409A: Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Award
agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the
Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury
thereunder and this Award and the Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such
intent. To the extent permitted by such Treasury Regulations or other guidance, this Award
agreement may be amended to conform to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
