RECITALS:

          A. Global Water Resources, LLC, Global Water Management, LLC and Global Water, Inc. (f/k/a
Global Water Resources, Inc.) (collectively, “Borrower”) and Secured Party have entered into that
certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 9,2005, as modified by that certain
First Modification Agreement, dated July 1, 2006, that certain Second Modification Agreement, dated
December 1, 2006 and that certain Third Modification Agreement of even date herewith (as modified,
the “Credit Agreement”) and further evidenced by that certain $80,000,000.00 Third Amended and
Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note dated of even date herewith (the “Note”). The Credit
Agreement, the Note and all other documents evidencing and or securing the revolving line of credit
loan made pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the “Loan”) may be hereinafter referred to as the “Loan
Documents.” Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth
in the Credit Agreement.

          B. Pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Credit Agreement, at such time as Borrower or any
affiliate of Borrower acquires, forms or otherwise comes into ownership of a controlling interest
in public utility companies not otherwise referenced in the Credit Agreement (each, a “New
Company”), Borrower shall promptly execute such assignment documents (in form substantially similar
to those executed in connection with the Credit Agreement) pledging the member interest,
shareholder interest or partner interest, as applicable, in such New Company to Secured Party as
additional collateral for the Loan and to perform such other and further acts and execute and
deliver any and all such other and further instruments as may be required or reasonably requested
by Secured Party to establish, maintain and protect the respective rights and remedies of Secured
Party with respect to such New Company.

          C. Pledge owns 10 shares (the “Shares”), of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CP
Water Company (the “Company”), represented by Certificate No.7, which represents 100%

 

 

of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, which by definition is a New Company pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

          D. In order to induce Secured Party to continue to make the Loan to Borrower and in order to
comply with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, as additional security for the Loan,
Pledgor desires to grant a security interest in, and, pledge, sign and
transfer, all of Pledgor’s
right, title and interest in and to the Shares, to Secured Party.

          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

          1.
Pledge. Pledgor hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in the Shares
together with all rights thereof or arising therefrom, all additions thereto, dividends, options,
warrants and payments arising thereunder, all proceeds from the sale or other disposition thereof,
and all substitutions therefor (collectively the “Collateral”), as security for all of the
Borrower’s obligations to Secured Party under the Note and any and all of the Loan Documents. Upon
execution of this Agreement, Pledgor shall deliver to Secured Party stock power(s) and
assignment(s) separate from certificate for the certificates representing the Shares endorsed in
blank. The books of the issuer of such Shares shall contain a legend to reflect such pledge of the
Shares hereunder.

          2. Covenants and Representations. Pledgor agrees to take no action which would
adversely affect the value of the Collateral or which would encumber, dilute or cloud Pledgor’s
title or interest therein. Pledgor shall not do any of the following without Secured Party’s prior
written consent:

          (a) Pledgor is and will continue to be the owner of the Collateral, free of any liens,
security interests or assignments other than the security interest created by this Agreement;

          (b) Pledgor shall deliver to Secured Party and Secured Party shall retain physical
possession of all stock certificates and other instruments and documents representing or
evidencing any of the Collateral, which stock certificates shall be duly endorsed in blank;

          (c) Pledgor will not modify or amend the instruments or documents constituting the
Collateral or make any compromise, adjustment, settlement or termination in connection
therewith;

          (d) Pledgor will at all times defend the Collateral against any and all claims of any
person, adverse to the claims of Secured Party;

          (e) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default Pledgor will accept no payments,
distributions or dividends on the Collateral and shall remit to Secured Party any payment or
distribution received;

          (f) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance of its terms, will
not result in any violation of or constitute a default under the terms of any Agreement, or
other instrument, license, judgment, order, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule or
regulation applicable to the Pledgor or the Collateral;

2

 

          (g) upon its execution and delivery, this Agreement shall create an enforceable and valid
lien in the Collateral;

          (h) Pledgor has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and the persons
executing this Agreement on behalf of Pledgor have been duly authorized to act on behalf of
Pledgor in the execution hereof;

          (i) other than Pledgor, there are no parties who assert any type of ownership interest
whatsoever in the Shares;

          (j) other than this Agreement, there are no agreements which impose any conditions or
restrictions on the Shares;

          (k) all of the Shares have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable;

          (l) the granting by Pledgor to Secured Party of the security interest in the Collateral as
evidenced by this Agreement complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws or
qualifies for an exemption from such registration; and

          (m) Pledgor, as stockholder, owner, part owner, director, corporate officer, or in any
other capacity, shall not vote for, ratify, accept, accede to, or approve any proposed
transaction concerning the Collateral which would have an adverse effect on the rights of
Secured Party hereunder.

          3. Delivery of Instruments: Adjustments. Pledgor has delivered to Secured Party, all
stock certificates and all documents evidencing any ownership of the Collateral or which are
necessary or convenient for Secured Party to exercise any of Secured Party’s rights hereunder. If,
during the term of this Agreement, any stock dividends, reclassification, readjustments or other
changes are declared or made in the capital structure of any corporation represented by the
Collateral, or if any subscription or other options are exercisable with respect to the Collateral,
all such new, substitute or additional shares or other securities, rights or interests issued shall
be delivered to and held by Secured Party subject to this Agreement in the same manner as the
Collateral.

          4.
Voting. So long as Pledgor is not in default hereunder, any Collateral may be voted
by the Pledgor at all meetings of stockholders, subject to the restrictions of Paragraph 2(m).

          5. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit Agreement shall
be an Event of Default hereunder.

          6. Remedies on Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Secured Party may exercise any or all of the rights and remedies provided (a) by this
Agreement, and/or (b) by any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may (i)
instruct the secretary of the Company to pay all dividends to Secured Party, and (ii) sell the
Collateral or any part thereof, without recourse to judicial proceedings, with the right to bid for
and buy, free from any right of redemption, upon ten (10) days’ notice (which notice is agreed to
be reasonable notice for the purposes hereof) to the Pledgor, of the time and place of sale, for
cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at Secured Party’s option and in Secured Party’s complete
discretion:

-3-

 

          (a) at a public sale, including a sale at any broker’s board or exchange;

          (b)
at private sale in any commercially reasonable manner which will not require the
Collateral, or any part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other law or regulation.
Secured Party is also hereby authorized, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such
notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as it may deem required or appropriate
in the event of sale or disposition of any of the Collateral.

          In connection with the sale of any of the Collateral, Secured Party is authorized, but not
obligated, to limit prospective purchasers to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by Secured
Party to render such sale exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and any applicable state securities laws, and any sale of the Collateral so made in
good faith by Secured Party shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. In connection with any
such sale or other disposition in accordance with the provision hereof, Secured Party shall be
authorized to deliver the Stock to or upon the order of Secured Party.

          7. Taxes. Pledgor shall pay promptly, when due, any and all property taxes, excise
taxes (however called) and other taxes, assessments, duties and other charges, which, if
unpaid, might by law or otherwise become a lien or charge upon the Collateral (including any and
all interest, penalties and related provisional fees) imposed, levied or assessed against the
Collateral, or upon or measured by the use, ownership, possession or operation thereof, or in
respect to this Agreement or the security interest in the Collateral granted and conveyed herein.

          8. Pledgor’s Failure to Pay Taxes and Other Items. If Pledgor fails to make any
payment or do any act required of it under this Agreement, then Secured Party shall have the right,
but not the obligation, upon three (3) days notice to Pledgor, and without releasing Pledgor from
any obligation under this Agreement, to make or do the same, and to pay, purchase, contest or
compromise any lien which in Secured Party’s judgment places its security interest in the
Collateral or Pledgor’s title to the Collateral in jeopardy, and in exercising any such rights, to
expend whatever reasonable amounts of Secured Party in its sole discretion may deem necessary
therefor. Any amounts expended by Secured Party pursuant to this Section 8 shall be a demand
obligation owing by Pledgor, which shall bear interest at the default rate (as defined in the Loan
Documents) from the date Secured Party expends such amount until repaid.

          9. Indemnification. Pledgor agrees to indemnify Secured Party for from and against all
losses, claims, demands and liabilities of every kind and nature arising by reason of the
assignment and security interest granted and the Collateral, excluding any of the same arising from
the negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party, and agrees to pay all expenses,
including, without limitation, expert witness fees and attorneys fees, incurred by Secured Party in
the preservation, realization, enforcement or exercise of any of its rights, powers or remedies
hereunder.

          10. Unregistered Securities. Pledgor acknowledges that the Shares constitute
unregistered securities subject to legal restrictions upon the transfer thereof which will render a
public sale of the Shares unavailable. If, upon an Event of Default, Secured Party exercises its
right to sell the shares, Pledgor waives all rights to public sale and agrees to the private
placement of the Shares to any qualified third-party buyer at a commercially reasonable price
therefor. Pledgor further acknowledges that the legal restrictions upon transfer of the Shares
adversely affect the

-4-

 

marketability of the Shares and any commercially reasonable price for the
shares will include a discount from the proportionate part of the net asset value of the issuer
represented by the Shares to reflect those restrictions upon marketability.

          11. Irrevocable Proxy. Pledgor does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Secured
Party and Secured Party’s successors and assigns as its proxy, with full power, in the same manner,
to the same extent, and with the same effect as if they were to do the same:

          (a) to attend any and all meetings of the shareholders of the Company held from the date
hereof, and to vote the Collateral at any such meeting in such manner as Secured Party shall, in
its sole discretion, deem appropriate;

          (b) to consent, in the sole discretion of Secured Party, to any and all actions by or with
respect to Pledgor for which the consent of the Pledgor is or may be necessary or appropriate;

          (c) without limitation, to do all things which Pledgor can or could do as a shareholder of
the Company, giving to Secured Party full power and substitution and revocation; provided,
however, that this proxy shall not be exercisable by Secured Party, and Pledgor alone shall
have the foregoing powers, so long as there is no Event of Default hereunder pursuant to which
Secured Party has notified Pledgor that Secured Party is exercising its rights under this
section, and provided further that this proxy shall terminate at such time as this Agreement is
terminated. Pledgor hereby revokes any proxy or proxies heretofore given to any person or
persons and agrees not to give any other proxy in derogation hereof until such time as this
Agreement is terminated. Pledgor and Secured Party hereby specifically agree that the proxy
granted hereunder shall be deemed to be valid and irrevocable until this Agreement shall be terminated.

          12. Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby appoints Secured Party as Pledgor’s
Attorney-in-Fact (without imposing any obligations on Secured Party), to perform all acts which
Secured Party deems appropriate to perfect and continue the security interest granted hereunder.
The Power of Attorney granted herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until this
Agreement is terminated.

          13. Miscellaneous. This Agreement and all other Loan Documents constitute the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede
all other prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

          (a) This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Pledgor shall not have the
right to assign or transfer respective rights or obligations under this Agreement except with
the prior written consent of Secured Party. Secured Party, at any time, may sell, assign, grant
or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, the indebtedness secured hereby and Secured Party’s
rights, interest and obligations under this Agreement or the Collateral and in such event, the
transferee shall have the same rights, powers and authority with respect to this Agreement and
the Collateral so transferred as are hereby given to Secured Party.

          (b) This Agreement may be amended modified, renewed or extended but only by a written
instrument, executed by all of the parties hereto in the manner of the execution of this
Agreement.

-5-

 

          (c) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA, AND, TO THE EXTENT THEY PREEMPT SUCH LAWS, THE LAWS OF THE
UNITED STATES.

          (d) All parties hereto shall, from time to time, do and perform such other and further acts
and execute and deliver any and all such other and further instruments as may be required or
reasonably requested by any other party to establish, maintain and protect the respective rights
and remedies of such other party and to carry out and effect the intents and purposes of this
Agreement including, but not limited to, any further acts required by Arizona Administrative
Code R14-2-803 and other similar laws, rules, statutes and codes related to Secured Party’s
exercise of its remedies.

          (e) All documents, Agreements, certificates and instruments herein required shall be in
form and substance satisfactory in all respects to Secured Party in its sole discretion and
shall be provided at the sole cost and expense of Pledgor.

          (f) The representations and warranties hereunder shall survive the execution hereof and
Secured Party may enforce such representations and warranties at any time. Pledgor’s covenants
shall survive the execution hereof and shall be performed fully and faithfully by Pledgor at all
times. The indemnities of Pledgor shall survive repayment of the indebtedness secured hereby.

          (g) If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any
circumstance, shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, such term or provision
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other term or provision of this Agreement, or
the application of such term or provision to any other circumstance. To the extent permitted by
law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of law that renders any term or provision
hereof invalid or unenforceable in any respect.

          (h) Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

          (i) Any notice, demand or any other instruments authorized by this Agreement to be served on or given shall be sufficiently served or given for all purposes
on the earlier of: (a) when personally delivered to any officer of the party to whom it is
addressed; (b) when sent by certified, registered or first class mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to each party at its address set forth above or at such other address as has been
furnished in writing by a party to the other in the manner provided in this Section; or (c) by
overnight courier.

          14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

          15. Headings. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of
the terms or provisions hereof.

          16. Construction. All references to the singular shall include the plural and vice
versa and all references to the masculine shall include the neuter or feminine and vice versa. This
Agreement has been reviewed and negotiated by counsel for each party and no ambiguity in this
Agreement shall be construed against any party based upon its having prepared the same.

-6-

 

          17. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon full satisfaction of the
indebtedness hereby secured, and, upon such termination, Secured Party shall return to Pledgor any
of the Collateral held by Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement, and the original executed copy
of this Agreement which contains an irrevocable proxy.

          18. Acknowledgment. Pledgor acknowledges that Secured Party would not agree to make
the Loan to Pledgor without the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Pledgor.
Pledgor further acknowledges that it has received good and sufficient consideration for the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

          19. No Duty to Protect. This is a pledge and assignment of Pledgor’s rights and
benefits in the Collateral without an assumption by Secured Party of any of Pledgor’s duties or
obligations attendant thereto. Except for physical safeguarding of the stock certificate(s)
included in the Collateral delivered to Secured Party, Secured Party shall have no duty to protect,
insure, collect or realize upon the Collateral or any proceeds therefrom nor shall Secured Party
have any obligations to any third party by virtue of Secured Party’s possession of the Collateral.

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

ARTICLE
3. TERM

The term of this Lease shall be Sixty Seven (67) months, plus the remainder of any partial
calendar month in which the Lease Term commences, commencing on April 1, 2006, the
Commencement Date, and expiring November 30, 2011.

3,1 Delay in Possession: Landlord agrees to use its best reasonable efforts to deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant by the Commencement Date. If, despite said efforts,
Landlord is unable to deliver possession by such date, Landlord shall not be subject to
liability thereof, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease. Tenant shall
not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations until Landlord
delivers possession of the Premises and, any period of rent abatement that Tenant would
otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and continue for a
period equal to what Tenant would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms hereof, less any
days of delay caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant.

If possession is not delivered within 90 days after the Commencement Date, as the same may
be extended by any Work Letter executed by the Parties, Tenant may, at its option, by notice
in writing within 10 days after the end of such 90 day period, cancel this Lease, in which
event the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder. If such written notice
is not received by Landlord within said 10 day period, Tenant’s right to cancel shall
terminate.

If possession of the Premises is not delivered within 150 days after the Commencement Date,
this Lease shall terminate unless other agreements are reached between Tenant and Landlord,
in writing.

3.2 Early Possession If the Tenant occupies the Premises prior to the commencement date of the
lease term, all the provisions of this lease shall govern the Tenant’s occupancy. Tenant shall
pay to
Landlord no rent for such occupancy, but occupancy prior to the commencement date of the
lease term shall not change the termination date of the lease term.

ARTICLE 4. MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without deduction, setoff, prior notice, or demand, the
Minimum Monthly Rent, payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the
Lease Term. If the Lease Term commences on a date other than the first day of a calendar
month, the

4

 

Minimum Monthly Rent for that month shall be prorated on a per diem basis and be paid to
Landlord on or before the Commencement Date.

ARTICLE 5. ADDITIONAL RENT/EXPENSE STOP

Tenant shall pay as additional rent each year the amount, if any, by which the Tenant’s Share of
Operating Costs during each Operating Year of the Lease Term exceeds the Base Share. For
purposes of this lease, “Base Share” means an amount equal to the product of the Rentable
Square Footage of the Premises multiplied by the Expense Stop. If the Lease Term begins or
ends anytime other than the first or last day of an Operating Year, Operating Costs and the
Tenant’s Share thereof shall be prorated. Prior to the end of each Operating Year, Landlord
shall
provide Tenant with a written statement of Landlord’s estimate of Operating Costs and Tenant’s
Estimated Share for the next succeeding Operating Year which shall be subject to Tenant’s
reasonable review and approval, which shall not
be unreasonable withheld.
No line item on
Landlord’s estimate of controllable Operating Costs shall be exceeded by more than 5% during
the year for which the estimate has been provided without the Tenant’s prior written consent. If
the Estimated Share exceeds the Tenant’s Base Share, Tenant shall pay Landlord, concurrently
with each payment of the Minimum Monthly Rent for the next Operating Year, an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount by which the Estimated Share exceeds the Base Share. Landlord
may, at any time, revise the Estimated Share and adjust the required monthly payment
accordingly. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each Operating Year, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a statement showing Tenant’s Share of the actual Operating Costs for the
preceding Operating Year (the Actual Share). If the Actual Share exceeds the Estimated Share
paid by Tenant during that Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the excess at the time the next
succeeding payment of Minimum Monthly Rent is payable (or within ten (10) days if the lease
term has expired or been terminated. If the Actual Share is less than the Estimated Share paid
by Tenant, Landlord shall apply such excess to payments next falling due under this Article (or
refund the same to Tenant or credit amounts due from Tenant if the Lease Term has expired or
been terminated). In the event the Building is not fully occupied during any Operating Year, an
adjustment shall be made by Landlord in calculating the Operating Costs for such Operating Year
so that the Operating Costs shall be adjusted to the amount that would have been incurred had
the Building been fully occupied during such Operating Year. For purposes of this Lease (a)
“Operating Costs” means and includes all costs of management, maintenance, and operation of the
Project, including but not limited to the costs of cleaning, repairs, utilities, air
conditioning, heating, plumbing, elevator, parking, landscaping, insurance, property taxes and
special assessments, and all other costs which can properly be considered operating expenses
but excluding costs of property additions, alterations for tenants, leasing commissions,
advertising, depreciation, interest, income taxes and administrative costs not specifically
incurred in the management, maintenance and operation of the Project; and (b) “Operating Year”
means a year beginning January 1 and ending December 31.

Tenants with leases expiring or terminating prior to the end of the Operating Year shall be
responsible for their portion of Operating Costs above Tenant’s Base Share based on Landlord’s
estimate of Operating Costs.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create liability upon Landlord for any damage to
motor vehicles of Tenant’s Permittees, or from loss of property from within such motor vehicles
while parked in the Automobile Parking Areas. Landlord has the right to establish and to
enforce against all users of the Automobile Parking Areas, reasonable rules and regulations
(the “Parking Rules and Regulations). Landlord shall assign and identify Reserved Parking

the receipt thereof by Landlord. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes levied upon
fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and personal property placed on the Premises by Tenant.

five (5) days after the due date (the “Delinquency Date”) thereof shall automatically (and
without notice) incur a late charge of one percent (1%) per day of the delinquent amount until
paid in full. (Checks returned by the bank as not honored are considered delinquent from date

$25.00 per check.

ARTICLE 9. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant shall, upon execution of this Lease, deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit, as
security for the performance of terms and provisions of this Lease by Tenant. If TENANT fails
to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision
of this Lease, LANDLORD may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the security deposit for
the payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which
LANDLORD may become obligated by reason of TENANT’S default, or to compensate LANDLORD for any
loss or damage which LANDLORD may suffer thereby. If LANDLORD so uses or applies all or any
portion of the security deposit, TENANT shall within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor deposit cash with LANDLORD in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to
the full amount stated above and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this
Lease. LANDLORD shall not be required to keep the security deposit separate from its general
accounts. If TENANT performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, the security deposit, or so
much thereof as has not previously been applied by LANDLORD, shall be returned, without payment
of interest or other increment for its use, to TENANT (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last
assignee, if any, of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days of the expiration of
the term hereof.

ARTICLE 10. CONSTRUCTION OF THE PREMISES

evidenced on Exhibit ‘A” attached herein, in accordance with plans and specifications prepared
by Landlord’s architect and approved by Tenant. Prior to the Commencement Date, any work
performed by Tenant or any fixtures or personal property moved onto the Premises shall be at
Tenant’s own risk and neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents or contractors shall be
responsible to Tenant for damage or destruction of Tenant’s property.

ARTICLE 11. ALTERATIONS

lien does attach against the Premises, Building, or Land, and Tenant does not discharge the
lien or post bond (which under law would prevent foreclosure or execution under the lien)
within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, such event shall be a default by Tenant under
this Lease and, in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord may take any
action necessary to discharge the lien.

The Premises shall be constructed in accordance with Landlord’s Standard Improvements, as
established in the Spec suites already constructed on the first floor of the Building, north end.
While materials may be different, they shall be of the same quality and as generally described
herein.

Preparation of Plans and Specifications

     Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Tenant has approved a space plane for the
Premises and Landlord has authorized the creation of construction drawings necessary to obtain a
building permit.

Completion

     Landlord shall obtain a building permit to construct the Improvements as soon as possible.

     Landlord shall complete the construction of the Improvements as soon as reasonably possible
after the obtaining of necessary building permits.

     The term “Completion”, as used in this Work Letter, is hereby defined to mean the date the
building department of the municipality having jurisdiction of the Premises shall have made a final
inspection of the Improvements and authorized a final release of restrictions on the use of public
utilities in connection therewith and the same are in a broom-clean condition.

     Landlord shall use its best efforts to achieve Completion of the Improvements on or before
the Commencement Date set forth in the Lease.

     In the event that the Improvements or any portion thereof have not reached Completion by the
Commencement Date, the Lease shall not be invalid, but rather Landlord shall complete the same as
soon thereafter as is possible and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damages in any
respect whatsoever.

     If Landlord shall be delayed at any time in the progress of the construction of the
Improvements or any portion thereof by extra work, changes in construction ordered by Tenant, or
by strikes, lockouts, fire, delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties, rain or weather
conditions, governmental procedures or delay, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s control,
then the Commencement Date established in the Lease shall be extended by the period of such delay.

Term

     Upon Completion of Improvements as defined in paragraph 16.3 above, Landlord and Tenant shall
execute an amendment to the Lease setting forth the date that Landlord delivered possession of the
Premises to Tenant as the Commencement Date of the Lease.

Work Done By Tenant

     Any work done by Tenant shall be done only with Landlord’s prior written consent and in
conformity with a valid building permit and all applicable rules, regulations, laws and
ordinances, and be done in a good and workmanlike manner of good and sufficient materials. All
work shall be done only with union labor and only by contractors approved by Landlord, it being
understood that all plumbing, mechanical, electrical wiring and ceiling work are to be done only
by contractors designated by Landlord.

Taking of Possession of Premises

     Landlord shall notify Tenant of the estimated Completion date at least 10 days before said
date. Tenant shall thereafter have the right to enter the Premises to commence construction of any
Improvements Tenant is to construct and to equip and fixturize the Premises, as long as such entry

shall be under all of the terms and provisions of the Lease to which this Work Letter is attached.
