         4. AUTHORITY OF ADVISOR.

              (a) Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including the
         restrictions included in this Section 4 and in Section 7 hereof), and
         subject to the continuing and exclusive authority of the Board over the
         management of the Company, the Board hereby delegates to the Advisor
         the authority to: (1) locate, analyze and select investment

         pursuant to which investments will be made or acquired for the Company;

                                       12

<PAGE>

         changes in the asset or capital structure of, and dispose of or

         service contracts for Properties, and perform other property level

         undertake accounting and other record-keeping functions at the
         Investment Asset level.

              (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any investment in Property,
         including any acquisition of any Property by the Company (as well as
         any financing acquired by the Company in connection with such
         acquisition), will require the prior approval of the Board unless,
         prior to completion of any such transaction, the Advisor provides the
         Company with:

                   (i)  an appraisal for the Property indicating that the Total
              Property Cost of the Property does not exceed the Appraised Value
              of the Property; and

                   (ii) a representation from the Advisor that the Property, in
              conjunction with the Company's other investments and proposed
              investments, at the time the Company is committed to purchase the
              Property, is reasonably expected to fulfill the Company's
              investment objectives and policies as established by the Board and
              then in effect.

              (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any investment in a Loan,
         including any acquisition of any Loan by the Company, shall comply with
         Article VIII (Restrictions on Investments and Activities) and related
         sections of the Bylaws.

              (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prior approval of the
         Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors and a majority
         of the Directors not interested in the transaction, will be required
         for: (i) investments in Properties made through co-investment or joint
         venture arrangements with the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their
         Affiliates; (ii) investments in Investment Assets which are not
         contemplated by the terms of a Prospectus; (iii) transactions that
         present issues which involve conflicts of interest for the Advisor or
         an Affiliate (other than conflicts involving the payment of fees or the
         reimbursement of expenses); (iv) the lease of assets to the Sponsor,
         any Director, the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor; (v) any
         purchase or sale of an Investment Asset from or to the Advisor or an
         Affiliate; and (vi) the retention of any Affiliate of the Advisor to
         provide services to the Company not expressly contemplated by this
         Agreement and the terms of such services by such Affiliate. In
         addition, the Advisor shall comply with any further approval
         requirements set forth in the Bylaws.

                                       13

<PAGE>

              (e) The Board may, at any time upon the giving of notice to the
         Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Section 4. If
         and to the extent the Board so modifies or revokes the authority
         contained herein, the Advisor shall henceforth comply with such
         modification or revocation, provided however, that such modification or
         revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not
         be applicable to investment transactions to which the Advisor has
         committed the Company prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of
         such notification.

         5. BANK ACCOUNTS. The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more
bank accounts in its own name for the account of the Company or in the name of
the Company and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and
disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company,
provided that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and
the Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such
collections and payments to the Board and to the auditors of the Company.

         6. RECORDS; ACCESS. The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of
all its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection by
the Board and by counsel, auditors and authorized agents of the Company, at any
time or from time to time during normal business hours. The Advisor shall at all
reasonable times have access to the books and records of the Company.

         7. LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES. Anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action
which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would adversely affect the
status of the Company as a REIT, subject the Company to regulation under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, would violate any law, rule, regulation or
statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over
the Company, its Shares or its Securities, or otherwise not be permitted by the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, except if such action shall be ordered by
the Board, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the
Advisor's judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from
taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from
the Board. In such event the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in
accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers and employees,
and partners, shareholders, directors and officers of the Advisor's shareholders
and Affiliates of any of them, shall not be liable to the Company, or to the
Directors or Shareholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its
shareholders, directors, officers and employees, or partners, shareholders,
directors or officers of the Advisor's shareholders except as provided in
Sections 20 and 22 hereof.

         8. RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS. There shall be no limitation on any
shareholder, director, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Advisor serving

                                       14

<PAGE>

as a Director or an officer of the Company, except that no employee of the
Advisor or its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of the Company shall
receive any compensation from the Company for serving as a Director or officer
other than for reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred
in attending meetings of the Board; for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations
of this Section 8 shall not apply to any compensation paid by the Advisor or any
Affiliate for which the Company reimbursed the Advisor or Affiliate in
accordance with Section 10 hereof.

         9. FEES.

              (a) ASSET MANAGEMENT FEE. The Company shall pay to the Advisor as
         compensation for the advisory services rendered to the Company
         hereunder an amount equal to one percent per annum of the Adjusted
         Invested Assets of the Company (the "ASSET MANAGEMENT Fee") calculated
         as set forth below. The Asset Management Fee will be calculated
         monthly, beginning with the month in which the Company first makes an
         investment in Investment Assets, on the basis of one-twelfth of one
         percent of the Adjusted Invested Assets for that month, computed as a
         daily average. One-half of the Asset Management Fee calculated with
         respect to each month shall be payable on the first business day
         following such month. One-half of such Asset Management Fee shall be
         subordinated to the extent described below and shall be payable
         quarterly. The subordinated Asset Management Fee for any quarter shall
         be payable only if the Preferred Return has been met through the end of
         the applicable quarter. Any portion of the subordinated Asset
         Management Fee not paid due to the Company's failure to meet the
         Preferred Return shall be paid by the Company, to the extent it is not
         restricted by the 2%/25% Guidelines as described below, at the end of
         the next fiscal quarter through which the Company has met the Preferred
         Return. If at the end of any fiscal quarter, the Company's Operating
         Expenses exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines over the immediately preceding 12
         months, payment of the subordinated Asset Management Fee will be
         withheld consistent with Section 13. For purposes of calculating the
         value per share of restricted stock given for payment of the Asset
         Management Fee, the price per share shall be: (i) the net asset value
         per share as determined by the most recent appraisal performed by an
         independent third party at the time such Asset Management Fee was
         earned or, if an appraisal has not yet been made and accepted by the
         Company, (ii) $10 per share. Any part of the Asset Management Fee that
         has been subordinated pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not be
         deemed earned until such time as payable hereunder.

              (b) ACQUISITION FEE. The Advisor may receive as compensation for
         services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection,
         acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of any
         Property or Loan, an Acquisition Fee payable by the Company. The total
         such Acquisition Fees (not including Subordinated Acquisition Fees

                                       15

<PAGE>

         and any interest thereon) payable to the Advisor may not exceed
         two-and-one-half percent of the aggregate Total Property Cost of all
         Properties and Loans acquired or originated by the Company, measured at
         such time as the Company shall have completed all Offerings (other than
         pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan) and invested substantially
         all of the net proceeds of such Offerings, unless a majority of the
         Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise
         interested in any transaction approves the excess as being commercially
         competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

              (c) SUBORDINATED ACQUISITION FEE. In addition to the Acquisition
         Fee described in Section 9(b) above, the Advisor may receive as
         additional compensation for services rendered in connection with the
         investigation, selection, acquisition or origination (by purchase,
         investment or exchange) of Properties and Loans a Subordinated
         Acquisition Fee payable by the Company to the Advisor or its Affiliates
         (the "SUBORDINATED ACQUISITION FEE"). The total Subordinated
         Acquisition Fees paid may not exceed two percent of the aggregate Total
         Property Cost of all Properties and Loans purchased and originated by
         the Company, measured at such time as the Company shall have completed
         all Offerings (other than pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan)
         and invested substantially all of the net proceeds of such Offerings,
         unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
         Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in any transaction
         approves the excess as being commercially competitive, fair and
         reasonable to the Company. The unpaid portion of the Subordinated
         Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor and its Affiliates with respect
         to any Property or Loan shall bear interest at the rate of five percent
         per annum from the date of acquisition of such Property or Loan until
         such portion is paid. Subject to the following sentence, the
         Subordinated Acquisition Fee with respect to any Investment Asset shall
         be payable in equal annual installments on January 1 of each of the
         three calendar years following the date such Asset was purchased;
         accrued interest on all unpaid Subordinated Acquisition Fees shall also
         be payable on such dates. The portion of the Subordinated Acquisition
         Fees, and accrued interest thereon, otherwise payable on any January 1
         shall be payable only if the Preferred Return through the end of the
         fiscal year preceding such January 1 has been met. Any portion of the
         Subordinated Acquisition Fees, and accrued interest thereon, not paid
         due to the Company's failure to meet the Preferred Return through any
         fiscal year end shall be paid by the Company on the January 1 following
         the first fiscal year thereafter through which the Preferred Return has
         been met.

              (d) SIX PERCENT LIMITATION. The total amount of Acquisition Fees
         (including Subordinated Acquisition Fees and any interest thereon),
         whether payable to the Advisor or a third party, and Acquisition
         Expenses may not exceed six percent of the sum of the

                                       16

<PAGE>

         aggregate Contract Purchase Price of all Properties and Loans unless a
         majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
         Directors) not otherwise interested in any transaction approves fees in
         excess of this limit as being commercially competitive, fair and
         reasonable to the Company.

              (e) LOAN REFINANCING FEE. The Company shall pay to the Advisor for
         all qualifying loan refinancings of Properties a Loan Refinancing Fee
         in the amount up to one percent of the principal amount of the
         refinanced loan. Any Loan Refinancing Fee shall be due and payable upon
         the funding of the related loan or as soon thereafter as is reasonably
         practicable. A refinancing will qualify for a Loan Refinancing Fee only
         if the refinanced loan is secured by Property and (i) the maturity date
         of the refinanced loan (which must have a term of five years or more)
         is less than one year from the date of the refinancing; or (ii) the
         terms of the new loan represent, in the judgment of a majority of the
         Independent Directors, an improvement over the terms of the refinanced
         loan; or (iii) the new loan is approved by the Board, including a
         majority of the Independent Directors and, in each case, the Loan
         Refinancing Fee is found, in the judgment of a majority of the
         Independent Directors, to be in the best interest of the Company.

              (f) PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEE. No Property Management Fee shall be
         paid unless approved by a majority of the Independent Directors.

              (g) SUBORDINATED DISPOSITION FEE. If the Advisor or an Affiliate
         provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority
         of the Independent Directors) in the sale of a Property, the Advisor or
         such Affiliate shall receive a fee equal to the lesser of: (i) 50% of
         the Competitive Real Estate Commission and (ii) three percent of the
         Contract Sales Price of such Property (the "SUBORDINATED DISPOSITION
         FEE"). The Subordinated Disposition Fee will be paid only if
         Shareholders have received in the aggregate a return of 100% of Initial
         Investor Capital (through liquidity or Distributions) plus a Preferred
         Return through the date the Subordination Disposition Fee has been
         paid. The return requirement will be deemed satisfied if the total
         Distributions paid by the Company have satisfied the Preferred Return
         requirement and the Market Value of the Company equals or exceeds
         Adjusted Investor Capital. To the extent that Subordinated Disposition
         Fees are not paid by the Company on a current basis due to the
         foregoing limitation, the unpaid fees will be due and paid at such time
         as the limitation has been satisfied. The Subordinated Disposition Fee
         may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to
         non-Affiliates, provided that the total of all real estate commissions
         in respect of a Property paid to all Persons by the Company and the
         Subordinated Disposition Fee shall not exceed an amount equal to the
         lesser of: (i) six percent of the Contract Sales Price of such Property
         or

                                       17

<PAGE>

         (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission. If this Agreement is
         terminated prior to such time as the Shareholders have received
         (through liquidity or Distributions) a return of 100% of Initial
         Investor Capital plus a Preferred Return through the date of
         termination of this Agreement, an appraisal of the Properties then
         owned by the Company shall be made and any unpaid Subordinated
         Disposition Fee on Properties sold prior to the date of termination
         will be payable if the Appraised Value of the Properties then owned by
         the Company plus Distributions to Shareholders prior to the date of
         termination of this Agreement (through liquidity or Distributions) is
         equal to or greater than 100% of Initial Investor Capital plus an
         amount sufficient to pay a Preferred Return through the date of
         termination of this Agreement. If the Company's Shares are listed on a
         national securities exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq and,
         at the time of such listing, the Advisor or an Affiliate has provided a
         substantial amount of services in the sale of Property, for purposes of
         determining whether the subordination conditions for the payment of the
         Subordinated Disposition Fee have been satisfied, Shareholders will be
         deemed to have received a Distribution in an amount equal to the Market
         Value of the Company.

              (h) OTHER PERMITTED INVESTMENT ASSETS FEE. The Advisor may receive
         as compensation for services rendered in connection with the
         investigation, selection, acquisition or origination of Other Permitted
         Investments a fee (the "OTHER PERMITTED INVESTMENT ASSETS FEE") that
         shall be negotiated in good faith by the Advisor and the Company and
         approved by the Board (including a majority of the Independent
         Directors) on a case by case basis; provided that such compensation
         shall be on terms not more favorable, taken as a whole, than what the
         Advisor receives in respect of investments in Properties and Loans.

              (i) SUBORDINATED INCENTIVE FEE. A fee shall be payable to the
         Advisor in an amount equal to 15% of Cash from Sales distributable to
         Shareholders after Shareholders have received a return of 100% of
         Initial Investor Capital (through liquidity or Distributions) plus a
         Preferred Return through the date payment is made (the "SUBORDINATED
         INCENTIVE FEE"). For these purposes the Shareholders will be deemed to
         have been provided liquidity if the Shares are listed on a national
         security exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq. The return
         requirement will be deemed satisfied if the total Distributions paid by
         the Company has satisfied the Preferred Return requirement and the
         Market Value of the Company equals or exceeds Adjusted Investor
         Capital. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form
         of a promissory note or as set forth in Section 9(l). The promissory
         note shall be fully amortizing over five years, provide for quarterly
         payments and bear interest at the prime rate announced from time to
         time in The Wall Street Journal.

                                       18

              (j) LOANS FROM AFFILIATES. The Company shall not borrow funds from
         the Advisor or its Affiliates unless (A) the transaction is approved by
         a majority of the Independent Directors and a majority of the Directors
         who are not interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive
         and commercially reasonable, (B) the interest and other financing
         charges or fees received by the Advisor or its Affiliates do not exceed
         the amount which would be charged by non-affiliated lending
         institutions and (C) the terms are not less favorable than those
         prevailing for comparable arm's-length loans for the same purpose. The
         Company will not borrow on a long-term basis from the Advisor or its
         Affiliates unless it is to provide the debt portion of a particular
         investment and the Company is unable to obtain a permanent loan at that
         time or in the judgment of the Board, it is not in the Company's best
         interest to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then
         prevailing and the Board has reason to believe that the Company will be
         able to obtain a permanent loan on or prior to the end of the loan term
         provided by the Advisor or its Affiliates.

              (k) CHANGES TO FEE STRUCTURE. In the event the Shares are listed
         on a national securities exchange or are included for quotation on
         Nasdaq, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to
         establish a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual
         life. A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the new fee
         structure negotiated with the Advisor. In negotiating a new fee
         structure, the Independent Directors may consider any of the factors
         they deem relevant, including but not limited to: (a) the size of the
         Advisory Fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of
         the Company's portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating
         opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (c)
         the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by
         Advisors performing similar services; (d) additional revenues realized
         by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the
         Company, including loan administration, underwriting or broker
         commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether
         paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does business;
         (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the
         Advisor; (f) the performance of the investment portfolio of the
         Company, including income, conversion or appreciation of capital,
         frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with
         distress situations; and (g) the quality of the portfolio of the
         Company in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for
         its own account. The new fee structure can be no more favorable to the
         Advisor than the current fee structure.

              (l) PAYMENT. Compensation payable to the Advisor pursuant to this
         Section 9 shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that any fee
         payable pursuant to Section 9 may be paid, at the option of the

                                       19

<PAGE>

         Advisor, in the form of: (i) cash, (ii) common stock of the Company, or
         (iii) a combination of cash and common stock. The Advisor shall notify
         the Company in writing annually of the form in which the fee shall be
         paid. Such notice shall be provided no later than January 15 of each
         year. If no such notice is provided, the fee shall be paid in cash. For
         purposes of the payment of compensation to the Advisor in the form of
         stock, the value of each share of common stock shall be: (i) the Net
         Asset Value per Share as determined by the most recent appraisal of the
         Company's assets performed by an Independent Appraiser, or (ii) if an
         appraisal has not yet been performed, $10 per share. If shares are
         being offered to the public at the time a fee is paid with stock, the
         value shall be the price of the stock without commissions. The Net
         Asset Value determined on the basis of such appraisal may be adjusted
         on a quarterly basis by the Board to account for significant capital
         transactions. Stock issued by the Company to the Advisor in payment of
         fees hereunder shall be governed by the terms set forth in Schedule A
         hereto, or such other terms as the Advisor and the Company may from
         time to time agree.

         10. EXPENSES. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(d),
to the extent applicable, in addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor
pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse the
Advisor for the following expenses:

                   (i) the Company's Organization and Offering Expenses;
              provided however, that within 60 days after the end of the month
              in which any Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the
              Company for any Organization and Offering Expense reimbursements
              received by the Advisor pursuant to this Section 10 to the extent
              that such reimbursements, when added to the balance of the
              Organization and Offering Expenses (excluding selling commissions,
              and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to the Selected Dealers)
              paid directly by the Company, exceed four percent of the Gross
              Offering Proceeds; provided further, however, that the Advisor
              shall be responsible for the payment of all Organization and
              Offering Expenses (excluding such commissions and such fees and
              expense reimbursements) in excess of four percent of the Gross
              Offering Proceeds;

                   (ii) expenses other than Acquisition Expenses incurred in
              connection with the investment of the funds of the Company;

                   (iii) interest and other costs for borrowed money, including
              discounts, points and other similar fees;

                                       20

<PAGE>

                   (iv) taxes and assessments on income of the Company, to the
              extent paid or advanced by the Advisor, or on Property and taxes
              as an expense of doing business;

                   (v) costs associated with insurance required in connection
              with the business of the Company or by the Directors;

                   (vi) expenses of managing and operating Properties owned by
              the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Advisor or a
              non-affiliated Person;

                   (vii) fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Company;

                   (viii) fees and expense of auditors and accountants for the
              Company;

                   (ix) all expenses in connection with payments to the
              Directors and meetings of the Directors and Shareholders;

                   (x) expenses associated with listing the Shares and
              Securities on a securities exchange or Nasdaq if requested by the
              Board;

                   (xi) expenses connected with payments of Distributions in
              cash or otherwise made or caused to be made by the Board to the
              Shareholders;

                   (xii) expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting,
              modifying, or terminating the Company or the Articles of
              Incorporation;

                   (xiii) expenses of maintaining communications with
              Shareholders, including the cost of preparation, printing and
              mailing annual reports and other Shareholder reports, proxy
              statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

                   (xiv) expenses related to the Properties and Loans and other
              fees relating to making investments including personnel and other
              costs incurred in Property or Loan transactions where a fee is not
              payable to the Advisor other than as provided in Section 10(b)
              hereof; and

                   (xv) all other expenses the Advisor incurs in connection with
              providing services to the Company, including reimbursement to the
              Advisor or its Affiliates for the cost of rent, goods, materials
              and personnel incurred by them based upon the compensation of the
              Persons involved and an appropriate share of

                                       21

<PAGE>

              overhead allocable to those Persons as reasonably determined by
              the Advisor on a basis approved annually by the Board (including a
              majority of the Independent Directors). No reimbursement shall be
              made for the cost of personnel to the extent that such personnel
              are used in transactions for which the Advisor receives a separate
              fee.

              (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10(a),
         with respect to Properties and Loans acquired using proceeds of the
         Part I Offering, the Advisor shall be responsible for payment of (i)
         all Acquisition Expenses, (ii) all expenses of whatever nature directly
         connected with the proposed acquisition of any property or loan that
         does not result in the actual acquisition of Properties or Loans; (iii)
         finder's fees and similar payments to the extent not paid by the seller
         of Property or other third party; and (iv) costs of retaining industry
         or economic consultants. The Company shall pay to the Advisor the
         Acquisition Expense Allowance, which shall be used by Advisor to pay
         the expenses described in this Section 10(b). To the extent the
         expenses paid by the Advisor pursuant to this Section 10(b) exceed the
         Acquisition Expense Allowance, the Company shall have no duty to
         reimburse the Advisor for the amount of such excess. To the extent the
         Acquisition Expense Allowance exceeds the expenses paid by the Advisor
         pursuant to this Section 10(b), the Advisor shall have no duty to repay
         or account to the Company for any such excess.

              (c) With respect to Properties and Loans acquired using proceeds
         of the Part II Offering, no Acquisition Expense Allowance shall be
         payable to the Advisor and the Company shall be solely responsible for
         payment of (i) all Acquisition Expenses; (ii) all expenses of whatever
         nature directly connected with the proposed acquisition of any property
         or loan that does not result in the actual acquisition of Properties or
         Loans; (iii) finder's fees and similar payments to the extent not paid
         by the seller of Property or other third party; and (iv) costs of
         retaining industry or economic consultants.

              (d) With respect to Properties and Loans acquired using a mixture
         of proceeds from the Part I and Part II Offerings, the Acquisition
         Expense Allowance shall be calculated and payable to the Advisor on a
         pro rata basis, and the Advisor and the Company shall be responsible
         for its respective pro rata share of the expenses described in Section
         10(b) and 10(c).

              (e) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and
         payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reimbursed quarterly to
         the Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter. The Advisor
         shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company other
         than Acquisition Expenses during each quarter, and shall

                                       22

<PAGE>

         deliver such statement to the Company within 45 days after the end of
         each quarter.

         11. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any
shareholder or employee thereof render services for the Company other than as
set forth in Section 3 hereof, such services shall be separately compensated and
shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         12. FIDELITY BOND. The Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond for the
benefit of the Company which bond shall insure the Company from losses of up to
$5,000,000 and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing
services similar to those provided to the Company by the Advisor.

         13. LIMITATION ON EXPENSES. (a) Within 60 days after the end of any
fiscal quarter, if Operating Expenses of the Company during the 12-month period
ending with the last month of such quarter exceed the greater of (i) two percent
of the Average Invested Assets during the same 12-month period or (ii) 25% of
the Adjusted Net Income of the Company during the same 12-month period, then
subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 13, such excess amount shall be the
sole responsibility of the Advisor and the Company shall not be liable for
payment therefor.

              (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Advisor
         becomes responsible for any such excess amount, if a majority of the
         Independent Directors finds such excess amount justified based on such
         unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem sufficient, the Company
         shall reimburse the Advisor in future quarters for the full amount of
         such excess, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent such
         reimbursement would not cause the Company's Operating Expenses to
         exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines in the 12-month period ending on any such
         quarter. In no event shall the Operating Expenses paid by the Company
         in any 12-month period ending at the end of a fiscal quarter exceed the
         2%/25% Guidelines.

              (c) To the extent Organization and Offering Expenses payable by
         the Company exceed 15% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, the excess will
         be paid by the Advisor.

              (d) All computations made under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
         Section 13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

              (e) If the Advisor receives a Subordinated Incentive Fee for the
         sale of Property, Adjusted Net Income, for purposes of calculating the
         Operating Expenses, shall exclude the gain from the sale of such
         Property.

         14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. Nothing herein contained shall
prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including without
limitation direct investment by the Advisor and its Affiliates in assets that
would be suitable for the Company, the rendering of advice to other investors
(including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored
or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or
restrict the right of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates or of any director,
officer, employee or shareholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in
any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership,
corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor may, with
respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render
advice and service to each other participant therein. The Advisor shall report
to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or
anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict
of interest between the Advisor's obligations to the Company and its obligations
to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual,
trust or association. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to
the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. If the Sponsor, Advisor,
Director or Affiliates thereof has or have sponsored other investment programs
with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the
same time as the Company, it shall be the duty of the Advisor to adopt a
reasonable method by which properties are to be allocated to the competing
investment entities and to use its best efforts to apply such method fairly to
the Company.

         The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a
continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent
with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but subject to the
last sentence of the preceding paragraph, neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate
of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment
opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character which, if
presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company.

         If the Advisor or its Affiliates is presented with a potential
investment which might be made by the Company and by another investment entity
which the Advisor or its Affiliates advises or manages, the Advisor shall
consider the investment portfolio of each entity, cash flow of each entity, the
effect of the acquisition on the diversification of each entity's portfolio,
rental payments during any renewal period, the estimated income tax effects of
the purchase on each entity, the policies of each entity relating to leverage,
the funds of each entity available for investment, the amount of equity required
to make the investment and the length of time such funds have been available for
investment. To the extent that a Property might be suitable for the Company and
for another investment entity which is advised or managed by the Advisor, the
Advisor shall give priority to the investment entity, including the Company,
which has uninvested funds for the longest period of time. The Advisor may
consider the Property for private placement only if such Property is deemed
inappropriate for

                                       24

<PAGE>

any investment entity which is advised or managed by the Advisor, including the
Company.

         15. RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY. The Company and the Advisor
agree that they have not created and do not intend to create by this Agreement a
joint venture or partnership relationship between them and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose
any liability as partners or joint venturers on either of them.

         16. TERM; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement, as amended and
restated, shall continue in force until September 30, 2006 and thereafter shall
be automatically renewed from year to year, unless either party shall give
notice in writing of non-renewal to the other party not less than 60 days before
the end of any such year.

         17. TERMINATION BY COMPANY. At the sole option the Board (including a
majority of the Independent Directors), this Agreement may be terminated
immediately by written notice of termination from the Company to the Advisor
upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Cause or if any of the
following events occur:

              (a) If the Advisor shall breach this Agreement; provided that such
         breach (i) is of a material term or condition of this Agreement and
         (ii) the Advisor has not cured such breach within 30 days of written
         notice thereof or, in the case of any breach that cannot be cured
         within 30 days by reasonable effort, has not taken all necessary action
         within a reasonable time period to cure such breach;

              (b) If the Advisor shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a
         court of competent jurisdiction, or an order shall be made by a court
         of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver,
         liquidator, or trustee of the Advisor, for all or substantially all of
         its property by reason of the foregoing, or if a court of competent
         jurisdiction approves any petition filed against the Advisor for
         reorganization, and such adjudication or order shall remain in force or
         unstayed for a period of 30 days; or

              (c) If the Advisor shall institute proceedings for voluntary
         bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the
         federal bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for relief of
         debtors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver for itself
         or for all or substantially all of its property, or shall make a
         general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in
         writing its inability to pay its debts, generally, as they become due.

         Any notice of termination under Section 16 or 17 shall be effective on
the date specified in such notice, which may be the day on which such notice is
given or any date thereafter. The Advisor agrees that if any of the events
specified in

                                       25

<PAGE>

Section 17(b) or (c) shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the
Board within 15 days after the occurrence of such event.

         18. TERMINATION BY EITHER PARTY. This Agreement may be terminated
immediately without penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20
hereof) by the Advisor by written notice of termination to the Company upon the
occurrence of events which would constitute Good Reason or by the Company
without cause or penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section 20 hereof)
by action of a majority of the Independent Directors or by action of a majority
of the Shareholders, in either case upon 60 days' written notice.

         19. ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITION. This Agreement may not be assigned by the
Advisor without the approval of the Board (including a majority of the
Independent Directors); provided, however, that such approval shall not be
required in the case of an assignment to a corporation, partnership,
association, trust or organization which may take over the assets and carry on
the affairs of the Advisor, provided: (i) that at the time of such assignment,
such successor organization shall be owned substantially by an entity directly
or indirectly controlled by the Sponsor and only if such entity has a net worth
of at least $5,000,000, and (ii) that the board of directors of the Advisor
shall deliver to the Board a statement in writing indicating the ownership
structure and net worth of the successor organization and a certification from
the new Advisor as to its net worth. Such an assignment shall bind the assignees
hereunder in the same manner as the Advisor is bound by this Agreement. The
Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this
Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not
be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the
case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization
which is a successor to the Company, in which case such successor organization
shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner
as the Company is bound by this Agreement.

         20. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION.

              (a) After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled
         to compensation for further services hereunder but shall be entitled to
         receive from the Company the following:

                   (i) all unpaid reimbursements of Organization and Offering
              Expenses and of Operating Expenses payable to the Advisor;

                   (ii) all earned but unpaid Asset Management Fees payable to
              the Advisor prior to the Termination Date;

                                       26

<PAGE>

                   (iii) all earned but unpaid Subordinated Acquisition Fees, in
              each case payable to the Advisor relating to the acquisition of
              any Property prior to the Termination Date;

                   (iv) all earned but unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fees
              payable to the Advisor relating to the sale of any Property prior
              to the Termination Date;

                   (v) all earned but unpaid Loan Refinancing Fees payable to
              the Advisor relating to the financing or refinancing of any
              Property prior to the Termination Date; and

                   (vi) all earned but unpaid Property Management Fees payable
              to the Advisor or its Affiliates relating to the management of any
              property prior to the termination of this Agreement.

              (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated
         by the Company for Cause, the Advisor will not be entitled to receive
         the sums in Section 20(a) above.

              (c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company for any reason
         other than Cause, by either party in connection with a Change of
         Control, or by the Advisor for Good Reason, the Advisor shall be
         entitled to payment of the Termination Fee. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, the Advisor shall not be entitled to payment of the
         Termination Fee if:

                   (i) this Agreement is terminated because of failure of the
              Company and the Advisor to establish, following good-faith
              negotiations pursuant to Section 9(k) hereof, a fee structure
              appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life in the event the
              Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are
              included for quotation on Nasdaq, or

                   (ii) the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor as
              a result of the listing of the Shares on a national securities
              exchange or their inclusion for quotation on Nasdaq and this
              Agreement is terminated after such listing or inclusion.

              (d) Any and all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section
         20(a) and Section 20(c) shall be paid in a manner determined by the
         Board, but in no event on terms less favorable to the Advisor than
         those represented by a note (i) maturing upon the liquidation of the
         Company or three years from the Termination Date, whichever is earlier,
         (ii) with no less than twelve equal quarterly installments and (iii)
         bearing a fair, competitive and commercially reasonable interest rate
         (the "NOTE"). The Note, if any, may be prepaid by the Company at any
         time prior to maturity with accrued interest to the date of payment but
         without premium

                                       27

<PAGE>

         or penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts that relate to
         Investment Assets (i) shall be an amount which provides compensation to
         the Advisor only for that portion of the holding period for the
         respective Investment Assets during which the Advisor provided services
         to the Company, (ii) shall not be due and payable until the Investment
         Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced, and (iii)
         shall not bear interest until the Investment Asset to which such amount
         relates is sold or refinanced. A portion of the amount shall be paid as
         each Investment Asset owned by the Company on the Termination Date is
         sold. The portion of such amount payable upon each such sale shall be
         equal to (i) such amount multiplied by (ii) the percentage calculated
         by dividing the fair value (at the Termination Date) of the Investment
         Asset sold by the Company divided by the total fair value (at the
         Termination Date) of all Investment Assets owned by the Company on the
         Termination Date. For purposes of the Termination Fee, the fair value
         of any Property shall be its Appraised Value.

              (e) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

                   (i) pay over to the Company all money collected and held for
              the account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, after
              deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its
              expenses to which it is then entitled;

                   (ii) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a
              statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of
              all money held by it, covering the period following the date of
              the last accounting furnished to the Board;

                   (iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including Properties
              and Loans, and documents of the Company then in the custody of the
              Advisor; and

                   (iv) cooperate with the Company to provide an orderly
              management transition.

         21. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. (a) The Company shall not indemnify
the Advisor or any of its Affiliates for any loss or liability suffered by the
Advisor or the Affiliate, or hold the Advisor or the Affiliate harmless for any
loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following
conditions are met:

                   (i) The Advisor or Affiliate has determined, in good faith,
              that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was
              in the best interests of the Company;

                                       28

<PAGE>

                   (ii) The Advisor or the Affiliate was acting on behalf of or
              performing services for the Company; and

                   (iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence
              or misconduct by the Advisor or the Affiliate.

              (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its Affiliates
         shall not be indemnified by the Company for any losses, liabilities or
         expenses arising from or out of the alleged violation of federal or
         state securities laws unless one or more of the following conditions
         are met:

                   (i) There has been a successful adjudication on the merits of
              each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the
              particular indemnitee;

                   (ii) Such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the
              merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular
              indemnitee; or

                   (iii) A court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement
              of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that
              indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be
              made, and the court considering the request for indemnification
              has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange
              Commission and of the published position of any state securities
              regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were
              offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of securities
              laws.

              (c) The Company shall advance funds to the Advisor or its
         Affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of
         any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all
         of the following conditions are satisfied:

                   (i) The legal action relates to acts or omissions with
              respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the
              Company;

                   (ii) The legal action is initiated by a third party who is
              not a Shareholder or the legal action is initiated by a
              Shareholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of
              competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and

                   (iii) The Advisor or the Affiliate undertakes to repay the
              advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable

                                       29

<PAGE>

              legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Advisor or
              Affiliate is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

              (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor shall not be
         entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this
         Section 21 for any activity which the Advisor shall be required to
         indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Section 22.

              (e) Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 21 shall be
         recoverable or paid only out the net assets of the Company and not from
         Shareholders.

         22. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company from liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and
related expenses including attorneys' fees, to the extent that such liability,
claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed
by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor's bad faith, fraud,
willful misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties.

         23. NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of

         32. NAME. W.P. Carey & Co. LLC has a proprietary interest in the name
"Corporate Property Associates" and "CPA(R)" Accordingly, and in recognition of

will, promptly after receipt of written request from Carey Asset Management
Corp., cease to conduct business under or use the name "Corporate Property
Associates" or "CPA(R)" or any diminutive thereof and the Company

                                       31

<PAGE>

shall use its best efforts to change the name of the Company to a name that does
not contain the name "Corporate Property Associates" or "CPA(R)" or any other
word or words that might, in the sole discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible
of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor
or any Affiliate thereof. Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically
recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and
may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other
investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and

or its Affiliates may not sell any of the Shares purchased with the Initial
Investment during the term of this Agreement. The restrictions included above
shall not continue to apply to any Shares other than the Share acquired through
the Initial Investment acquired by the Advisor or its Affiliates. The Advisor
shall not vote any Shares it now owns or hereafter acquires in any vote for the
election of Directors or any vote regarding the approval or termination of any
contract with the Advisor or any of its Affiliates.

                                   SCHEDULE A

         This Schedule sets forth the terms governing any Shares issued by the
Company to the Advisor in payment of advisory fees set forth in the Agreement.

         1. Restrictions. The Shares are subject to vesting over a five-year
period. The Shares shall vest ratably over a five-year period with 20% of the
Shares paid in each payment vesting on each of the first through fifth
anniversary of the date hereof. Prior to the vesting of the ownership of the
Shares in the Advisor, the Shares may not be transferred by the Advisor.

         2. Immediate Vesting. Upon the expiration of the Agreement for any
reason other than a termination for Cause under paragraph 17 or upon a "Change
of Control" of CPA(R):16 (as defined below), all Shares granted to the Advisor
hereunder shall vest immediately and all restrictions shall lapse. For purposes
of this Schedule A, a "Change of Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred if there has been a change in the ownership of the Company of a nature
that would be required to be reported in response to the disclosure requirements
of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), as enacted and in force on the date
hereof, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting
requirements; provided, however, that, without limitation, a Change of Control
shall be deemed to have occurred if:

         (i) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any trustee,
fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee
benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with all
"affiliates" and "associates" (as such terms are defined in Rule 14b-2 under the
Exchange Act) of such person, shall become the "beneficial owner" (as such term
is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 25% or more of either (A) the combined
voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities having the right to
vote in an election of the Board ("VOTING SECURITIES") or (B) the then
outstanding common stock of the Company (in either such case other than as a
result of acquisition of securities directly from the Company);

         (ii) persons who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the
"INCUMBENT DIRECTORS") cease for any reason, including without limitation, as a
result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to
constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a
director of the Company subsequent to the date hereof whose election or
nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the
Incumbent Directors shall be considered an Incumbent Director; or

         (iii) the stockholders of the Company shall approve (A) any
consolidation or merger of the Company or any subsidiary where the stockholders

                                       A-1

<PAGE>

of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not,
immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares
representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the voting equity of the entity
issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate
parent entity, if any), (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one
transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as
a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (C)
any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, a "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall not be
deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the
result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the
number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding, increases (A) the proportionate
number of Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the Shares
then outstanding, or (B) the proportionate voting power represented by the
Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the combined voting
power of all then outstanding voting Securities; provided, however, that if any
person referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence shall thereafter become
the beneficial owner of any additional Shares or other Voting Securities (other
than pursuant to a Share split, Share dividend, or similar transaction), then a
"Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the
foregoing clause (i).

Exhibit 10.12

CONTINUITY AGREEMENT

          This Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of September 19, 2005 by and between HUBBELL
INCORPORATED, a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”), and David G. Nord (the “Executive”).

          WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors considers the continued services of key executives
of the Company to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; and

          WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors desires to assure, and has determined that it is
appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to reinforce and
encourage the continued attention and dedication of key executives of the Company to their duties
of employment without personal distraction or conflict of interest in circumstances which could
arise from the occurrence of a change in control of the Company; and

          WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the Company to enter into continuity
agreements with those key executives of the Company and any of its respective subsidiaries (all of
such entities, with the Company hereinafter referred to as an “Employer”), such agreements to set
forth the severance compensation which the Company agrees under certain circumstances to pay such
executives; and

          WHEREAS, the Executive is a key executive of an Employer and has been designated by the Board
as an executive to be offered such a continuity compensation agreement with the Company.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

     1. Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof and remain in
effect until the first anniversary thereof; provided, however, that this Agreement
shall automatically renew on each anniversary of the date hereof, unless an Employer provides the
Executive, in writing, at least 180 days prior to the renewal date, notice that this Agreement
shall not be renewed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Change in Control occurs
at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence,
this Agreement shall not terminate until the second anniversary of the Change in Control (or, if
later, until the second anniversary of the consummation of the transaction(s) contemplated in the
Change in Control).

     2. Change in Control.

          (a) No compensation or other benefit pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall be payable under this
Agreement unless and until either (i) a Change in Control of the Company (as hereinafter defined)
shall have occurred while the Executive is an employee of an Employer and the Executive’s
employment by an Employer thereafter shall have terminated in accordance with

 

 

Section 3 hereof or (ii) the Executive’s employment by the Company shall have terminated in
accordance with Section 3(a)(ii) hereof prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control.

     (b) For purposes of this Agreement:

     (i) “Change in Control” shall mean any one of the following:

     (A) Continuing Directors no longer constitute at least 2/3 of the
Directors;

     (B) any person or group of persons (as defined in Rule 13d-5 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934), together with its affiliates, becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of twenty percent (20%) or more of
the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled
to vote for the election of the Company’s Directors; provided that this
Section 2 shall not apply with respect to any holding of securities by (I)
the trust under a Trust Indenture dated September 2, 1957 made by Louie E.
Roche, (II) the trust under a Trust Indenture dated August 23, 1957 made by
Harvey Hubbell, and (III) any employee benefit plan (within the meaning of
Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended) maintained by the Company or any affiliate of the Company;

     (C) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with
any other corporation, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Company or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, unless, in the
case of a merger or consolidation, the incumbent Directors in office
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will constitute at least
2/3 of the Directors of the surviving corporation of such merger or
consolidation and any parent (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of such corporation; or

     (D) at least 2/3 of the incumbent Directors in office immediately prior
to any other action proposed to be taken by the Company’s stockholders
determine that such proposed action, if taken, would constitute a change in
control of the Company and such action is taken.

     (ii) “Continuing Director” shall mean any individual who is a member of the
Company’s Board of Directors on December 9, 1986 or was designated (before such
person’s initial election as a Director) as a Continuing Director by 2/3 of the then
Continuing Directors.

     (iii) “Director” shall mean an individual who is a member of the Company’s
Board of Directors on the relevant date.

     3. Termination of Employment; Definitions.

     (a) Termination without Cause by the Company or for Good Reason
by the Executive.

     (i) The Executive shall be entitled to the compensation provided for in Section
4 hereof, if within two years after a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment
shall be terminated (A) by an Employer for any reason other than (I) the Executive’s
Disability or Retirement, (II) the Executive’s death or (III) for Cause, or (B) by
the Executive with Good Reason (as such terms are defined herein).

     (ii) In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation provided
for in Section 4 hereof if, (A) in the event that an agreement is signed which, if
consummated, would result in a Change in Control and the Executive is terminated
without Cause by the Company or terminates employment with Good Reason prior to the
Change in Control, (B) such termination is at the direction of the acquiror or
merger partner or otherwise in connection with the anticipated Change in Control,
and (C) such Change in Control actually occurs.

          (b) Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the
Executive’s absence from the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties (as such duties
existed immediately prior to such absence) for 180 consecutive business days, when the Executive is
disabled as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

          (c) Retirement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the
Executive’s voluntary termination of employment pursuant to late, normal or early retirement under
a pension plan sponsored by an Employer, as defined in such plan, but only if such retirement
occurs prior to a termination by an Employer without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason.

          (d) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

     (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially
all of his duties with an Employer (other than any such failure resulting from
incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for
substantial performance is delivered to such Executive by the Board of Directors
(the “Board”) of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the
Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed his duties;

     (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in gross misconduct which is
materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or any Employer; or

     (iii) the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere
to, a felony.

Termination of the Executive for Cause shall be made by delivery to the Executive of a copy of a
resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a three-fourths majority of the

3

 

non-employee Directors of the Company or of the ultimate parent of the entity which caused the
Change in Control (if the Company has become a subsidiary) at a meeting of such Directors called
and held for such purpose, after 30 days prior written notice to the Executive specifying the basis
for such termination and the particulars thereof and a reasonable opportunity for the Executive to
cure or otherwise resolve the behavior in question prior to such meeting, finding that in the
reasonable judgment of such Directors, the conduct or event set forth in any of clauses (i) through
(iii) above has occurred and that such occurrence warrants the Executive’s termination.

          (e) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the
occurrence, within the Term of this Agreement, of any of the following without the Executive’s
express written consent:

     (i) after a Change in Control, any reduction in the Executive’s base salary
from that which was in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, any
reduction in the Executive’s annual cash bonus below such bonus paid or payable in
respect of the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the Change in
Control occurs, or any reduction in the Executive’s aggregate annual cash
compensation (including base salary and bonus) from that which was in effect
immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

     (ii) after a Change in Control, the failure to increase (within 12 months of
the last increase in base salary) the Executive’s salary in an amount which at least
equals, on a percentage basis, the average percentage of increase in base salary
effected in the preceding 12 months (which period may include some period of time
prior to the Change in Control) for all senior executives of the Company (unless
such reduction is offset by an increase in the amount of annual cash bonus that is
paid to the Executive); or

     (iii) any material and adverse diminution in the Executives’ duties,
responsibilities, status, position or authority with the Company or any of its
affiliates following a Change of Control; provided, however, that no such diminution
shall be deemed to exist solely because of changes in Executive’s duties,
responsibilities or titles as a consequence of the Company ceasing to be a company
with publicly-traded securities or becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of another
company; or

     (iv) any relocation of the Executive’s primary workplace to a location that is
more than 35 miles from the Executive’s primary workplace as of the date immediately
prior to the Change in Control; or

     (v) any failure by the Company to obtain from any successor to the Company an
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Executive to assume and perform this
Agreement, as contemplated by Section 10(a) hereof; or

4

 

     (vi) during the thirty-day period immediately following the first anniversary
of the Change in Control, the voluntary termination of employment by the Executive
for any reason or no reason at all.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive provides the Company with a Notice of
Termination (as defined below) referencing this Section 3(e) (with the exception of Section
3(e)(vi)), the Company shall have 30 days thereafter in which to cure or resolve the behavior
otherwise constituting Good Reason. Any good faith determination by Executive that Good Reason
exists shall be presumed correct and shall be binding upon the Company

          (f) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment
(other than on account of Executive’s death) with an Employer shall be communicated by a Notice of
Termination to the Executive, if such termination is by an Employer, or to an Employer, if such
termination is by the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Notice of Termination” shall
mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide
a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provisions so indicated;
provided, however, that in connection with a termination for Good Reason under
Section 3(e)(vi), no details shall be necessary other than reference to such Section. For purposes
of this Agreement, no purported termination of Executive’s employment with an Employer shall be
effective without such a Notice of Termination having been given.

     4. Compensation Upon Termination.

          Subject to Section 9 hereof, if within two years after a Change in Control, the Executive’s
employment with an Employer shall be terminated in accordance with Section 3(a) (the
“Termination”), the Executive shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits:

          (a) Severance. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Executive a cash
severance amount equal to three times the sum of (i) the Executive’s annual base salary on the date
of the Change in Control (or, if higher, the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the
giving of the Notice of Termination), and (ii) the highest of the actual bonuses paid or payable to
the Executive under the Company’s annual incentive compensation plan in any of the three
consecutive fiscal years prior to the year in which the Change in Control occurs (the “Bonus”).
This cash severance amount shall be payable in a lump sum calculated without any discount.

          (b) Additional Payments and Benefits. The Executive shall also be entitled to:

     (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (A) the Executive’s accrued but
unpaid annual base salary through the date of Termination, (B) the unpaid portion,
if any, of bonuses previously earned by the Executive pursuant to the Company’s
annual incentive compensation plan, plus the pro rata portion of (I) the Bonus or
(II) if payable, the target bonus to be paid for the year in which the date of
Termination occurs, in either case (calculated through the date of Termination), and
(C) an amount, if any, equal to compensation previously

5

 

deferred (excluding any qualified plan deferral) and any accrued vacation pay,
in each case, in full satisfaction of Executive’s rights thereto; and

     (ii) an annual benefit under the Company’s Amended and Restated Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), calculated based on the Executive’s actual
full years of service (but in no event less than 5 years of service or more than 10
years of service), unreduced for early retirement thereunder; and

     (iii) unless otherwise provided under the Key Man Supplemental Medical Plan,
continued medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage (excluding accident,
death, and disability insurance) for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible
dependents or, to the extent such coverage is not commercially available, such other
arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Executive, on the same basis as in effect
prior to the Change in Control or the Executive’s Termination, whichever is deemed
to provide for more substantial benefits, for a period ending on the earlier of (A)
the end of the third anniversary of the date of the Executive’s Termination and (B)
the commencement of comparable coverage by the Executive with a subsequent employer;
and

     (iv) all other accrued or vested benefits in accordance with the terms of the
applicable plan (with an offset for any amounts paid under Section 4(b)(i)(C),
above).

All lump sum payments under this Section 4 shall be paid within 10 business days
after Executive’s date of Termination; provided, however, that with
respect to the SERP benefit set forth in Section 4(b)(ii), above, such benefit shall
be payable in accordance with the terms of the SERP.

          (c) Outplacement. If so requested by the Executive, outplacement services shall be
provided by a professional outplacement provider selected by Executive; provided,
however, that such outplacement services shall be provided the Executive at a cost to the
Company of not more than fifteen percent (15%) of such Executive’s annual base salary.

          (d) Withholding. Payments and benefits provided pursuant to this Section 4 shall be
subject to any applicable payroll and other taxes required to be withheld.

     5. Compensation Upon Termination for Death, Disability or Retirement.

          If an Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Death, Disability or Retirement prior
to any other termination, Executive will receive:

          (a) the sum of (i) Executive’s accrued but unpaid salary through the date of Termination, (ii)
the pro rata portion of the Executive’s target bonus for the year of Executive’s Death or
Disability (calculated through the date of Termination), and (iii) an amount equal to any
compensation previously deferred and any accrued vacation pay; and

6

 

          (b) other accrued or vested benefits in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan (with
an offset for any amounts paid under item (a)(iii), above).

     6. Excess Parachute Excise Tax Payments.

          (a) (i) If it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by the
Company or any Employer to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by
reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation
any stock option, stock appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any
restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a “Payment”), would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto)
by reason of being “contingent on a change in ownership or control” of the Company, within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or to any similar tax
imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such
tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to
as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment or
payments (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes
(including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax,
imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to
the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments; provided, however, if the Executive’s
Payment is, when calculated on a net-after-tax basis, less than $50,000 in excess of the amount of
the Payment which could be paid to the Executive under Section 280G of the Code without causing the
imposition of the Excise Tax, then the Payment shall be limited to the largest amount payable (as
described above) without resulting in the imposition of any Excise Tax (such amount, the “Capped
Amount”).

               (ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 6(a)(i) hereof, all determinations required to be
made under this Section 6, including whether an Excise Tax is payable by the Executive and the
amount of such Excise Tax and whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such
Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants
(the “Accounting Firm”) used by the Company prior to the Change in Control (or, if such Accounting
Firm declines to serve, the Accounting Firm shall be a nationally recognized firm of certified
public accountants selected by the Executive). The Accounting Firm shall be directed by the
Company or the Executive to submit its preliminary determination and detailed supporting
calculations to both the Company and the Executive within 15 calendar days after the Termination
Date, if applicable, and any other such time or times as may be requested by the Company or the
Executive. If the Accounting Firm determines that any Excise Tax is payable by the Executive and
that the criteria for reducing the Payment to the Capped Amount (as described in Section 6(a)(i)
above) is met, then the Company shall reduce the Payment by the amount which, based on the
Accounting Firm’s determination and calculations, would provide the Executive with the Capped
Amount, and pay to the Executive such reduced Payment. If the Accounting Firm determines that an
Excise Tax is payable, without reduction pursuant to Section 6(a)(i), above, the Company shall pay
the required Gross-Up Payment to, or for the benefit of, the Executive within five business days
after receipt of such determination and calculations. If the Accounting Firm determines that no
Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall, at the same time as it makes such determination,
furnish

7

 

the Executive with an opinion that he has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax
on his federal, state, local income or other tax return. Any determination by the Accounting Firm
as to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive absent
a contrary determination by the Internal Revenue Services or a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided, however, that no such determination shall eliminate or reduce the
Company’s obligation to provide any Gross-Up Payment that shall be due as a result of such contrary
determination. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code (or
any successor provision thereto) and the possibility of similar uncertainty regarding state or
local tax law at the time of any determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible
that Gross-Up Payments that will not have been made by the Company should have been made (an
“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that
the Company exhausts or fails to pursue its remedies pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof and the
Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Executive shall direct
the Accounting Firm to determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and to submit its
determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive as
promptly as possible. Any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to, or for the
benefit of, the Executive within five business days after receipt of such determination and
calculations.

               (iii) The Company and the Executive shall each provide the Accounting Firm access to and
copies of any books, records and documents in the possession of the Company or the Executive, as
the case may be, reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the
Accounting Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determination contemplated
by Section 6(a) hereof.

               (iv) The federal, state and local income or other tax returns filed by the Executive (or any
filing made by a consolidated tax group which includes the Company) shall be prepared and filed on
a consistent basis with the determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to the Excise Tax
payable by the Executive. The Executive shall make proper payment of the amount of any Excise Tax,
and at the request of the Company, provide to the Company true and correct copies (with any
amendments) of his federal income tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service and
corresponding state and local tax returns, if relevant, as filed with the applicable taxing
authority, and such other documents reasonably requested by the Company, evidencing such payment.
If prior to the filing of the Executive’s federal income tax return, or corresponding state or
local tax return, if relevant, the Accounting Firm determines that the amount of the Gross-Up
Payment should be reduced, the Executive shall within five business days pay to the Company the
amount of such reduction.

               (v) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the
determinations and calculations contemplated by Sections 6(a)(ii) and (iv) hereof shall be borne by
the Company. If such fees and expenses are initially advanced by the Executive, the Company shall
reimburse the Executive the full amount of such fees and expenses within five business days after
receipt from the Executive of a statement therefor and reasonable evidence of his payment thereof.

          (b) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service claims that any payment or benefit received
under this Agreement constitutes an “excess parachute payment,” within the

8

 

meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code, the Executive shall notify the Company in writing
of such claim. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 10
business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the
Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The
Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30 day period following the date
on which the Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date
that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the
Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim,
the Executive shall (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company
relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the
Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including without limitation,
accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the
Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Executive; (iii) cooperate with the Company in good
faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any
proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear
and pay directly all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, additional interest and
penalties and related legal, consulting or other similar fees) incurred in connection with such
contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for and against
any Excise Tax or other tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a
result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses.

          (c) The Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at
its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and
conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim; provided, however,
that if the Executive is required to extend the statute of limitations to enable the Company to
contest such claim, the Executive may limit this extension solely to such contested amount. The
Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a corporate
deduction would be disallowed pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and the Executive shall be
entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue
Service or any other taxing authority. In addition, no position may be taken nor any final
resolution be agreed to by the Company without the Executive’s consent if such position or
resolution could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Executive (including any other tax
position of the Executive unrelated to matters covered hereby).

          (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company in connection
with the contest of the Excise Tax claim, the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with
respect to such claim, the Executive shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund
(together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto);
provided, however, if the amount of that refund exceeds the amount advanced by the
Company or it is otherwise determined for any reason that additional amounts could be paid to the
Executive without incurring any Excise Tax, any such amount will be promptly paid by the Company to
the Executive. If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company in
connection with an Excise Tax claim, a determination is made that the Executive shall not be
entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in
writing of its intent to contest the denial of such refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after
such determination, such advance shall be forgiven

9

 

and shall not be required to be repaid and shall be deemed to be in consideration for services
rendered after the date of the Termination.

     7. Expenses. In addition to all other amounts payable to the Executive under this
Agreement, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for legal fees (including without
limitation, any and all court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Executive in
connection with or as a result of any claim, action or proceeding brought by the Company or the
Executive with respect to or arising out of this Agreement or any provision hereof;
provided, however, that in the case of an action brought by the Executive, the
Company shall have no obligation for any such legal fees, if the Company is successful in
establishing with the court that the Executive’s action was frivolous or otherwise without any
reasonable legal or factual basis.

     8. Obligations
Absolute; Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Joint Several Liability.

          (a) The obligations of the Company to make the payment to the Executive, and to make the
arrangements, provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be reduced by
any circumstances, including without limitation any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which the Company may have against the Executive or any third party at any time.

          (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future
participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company or
any other Employer and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or
reduce such rights as the Executive may have under any agreements with the Company or any other
Employer.

          (c) Each entity included in the definition of “Employer” and any successors or assigns shall
be joint and severally liable with the Company under this Agreement.

     9. Not an Employment Agreement; Effect On Other Rights.

          (a) This Agreement is not, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create, a contract of
employment between the Executive and the Company. Any Employer may terminate the employment of the
Executive at any time, subject to the terms of this Agreement and/or any employment agreement or
arrangement between the Employer and the Executive that may then be in effect.

          (b) With respect to any employment agreement with the Executive in effect immediately prior to
the Change in Control, nothing herein shall have any effect on the Executive’s rights thereunder;
provided, however, that in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment
in accordance with Section 3 hereof, this Agreement shall govern solely for the purpose of
providing the terms of all payments and additional benefits to which the Executive is entitled upon
such termination and any payments or benefit provided under any employment agreement with the
Executive in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control shall reduce the corresponding type
of payments or benefits hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Executive’s employment is terminated prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control under the
circumstances provided for in Section 3(a)(ii) and such circumstances also entitle Executive to
payments and benefits under any other employment or

10

 

other agreement as in effect prior to the Change in Control (“Other Agreement”), then, until
the Change in Control occurs, the Executive will receive the payments and benefits to which he is
entitled under such Other Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, the Company
will pay to the Executive in cash the amount to which he is entitled to under this Agreement
(reduced by the amounts already paid under the Other Agreement) in respect of cash payments and
shall provide or increase any other noncash benefits to those provided for hereunder (after taking
into account noncash benefits, if any, provided under such Other Agreement). Amounts which are
vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program
of the Company or any other Employer shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program,
except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

     10. Successors; Binding Agreement, Assignment.

          (a) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business of the Company, by
agreement to expressly, absolutely and unconditionally assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no
such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the
effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company or such successor for Good
Reason immediately prior to or at any time after such succession. As used in this Agreement,
“Company” shall mean (i) the Company as hereinbefore defined, and (ii) any successor to all the
stock of the Company or to all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets which
executes and delivers an agreement provided for in this Section 10(a) or which otherwise becomes
bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law, including any parent
or subsidiary of such a successor.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amount would be payable to the
Executive hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise
provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s
estate or designated beneficiary. Neither this Agreement nor any right arising hereunder may be
assigned or pledged by the Executive.

     11. Notice. For purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in this Agreement or contemplated hereby shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given when personally delivered, delivered by a nationally recognized overnight
delivery service or when mailed United States certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Company at:

Hubbell Incorporated

584 Derby Milford Road

Orange, Connecticut 06477-4024

Attention: General Counsel

11

 

and in the case of the Executive, to the Executive at the address set forth on the execution page
at the end hereof.

          Either party may designate a different address by giving notice of change of address in the
manner provided above, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon
receipt.

     12. Confidentiality. The Executive shall retain in confidence any and all
confidential information concerning the Company and its respective business which is now known or
hereafter becomes known to the Executive, except as otherwise required by law and except
information (i) ascertainable or obtained from public information, (ii) received by the Executive
at any time after the Executive’s employment by the Company shall have terminated, from a third
party not employed by or otherwise affiliated with the Company or (iii) which is or becomes known
to the public by any means other than a breach of this Section 12. Upon the Termination of
employment, the Executive will not take or keep any proprietary or confidential information or
documentation belonging to the Company.

     13. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, altered, modified,
waived or discharged unless such amendment, alteration, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed
to in writing signed by the Executive and such officer of the Company as shall be specifically
designated by the Committee or by the Board of Directors of the Company. No waiver by either
party, at any time, of any breach by the other party of, or of compliance by the other party with,
any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition of this Agreement or
any other breach of or failure to comply with the same condition or provision at the same time or
at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or
implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not
expressly set forth in this Agreement.

     14. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each party hereto waives any provision of law which renders any provision of this
Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

     15. Governing Law; Venue. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance
of this Agreement shall be governed on a non-exclusive basis by the laws of the State of
Connecticut without giving effect to its conflict of laws rules. For purposes of jurisdiction and
venue, the Company and each Employer hereby consents to jurisdiction and venue in any suit, action
or proceeding with respect to this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction in the state in
which Executive resides at the commencement of such suit, action or proceeding and waives any
objection, challenge or dispute as to such jurisdiction or venue being proper.

     16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be an original and all of which shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

12

 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above
written.
