LEASE AGREEMENT

     THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease”) is made as of July 1, 2005 by and between Prentiss
Properties Acquisition Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and Deerfield &
Company LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Tenant”), upon all the terms set forth in this
Lease as follows:

ARTICLE 1

BASIC LEASE INFORMATION AND CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

     Section 1.1 The Basic Lease Information is made a part of this Lease, but the provisions of
this Lease addressing such matters in detail shall control over any inconsistent provisions in the
Basic Lease Information. All terms capitalized but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings given to them in the Basic Lease Information or Schedule 1.1 attached hereto.

ARTICLE 2

PREMISES AND QUIET ENJOYMENT

     Section 2.1 Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein. During the Term, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Common Areas
in accordance with the rules and regulations set forth on Rider No. 1 attached hereto (the “Rules
and Regulations”).

     Section 2.2 Provided Tenant fully and timely performs all the terms of this Lease on Tenant’s
part to be performed, including payment by Tenant of all Rent, Tenant shall have, hold and enjoy
the Premises during the Term without disturbance from or by Landlord or those claiming through
Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 3

TERM; COMMENCEMENT DATE;

DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES

     Section 3.1 The Commencement Date shall be March 1, 2006. The Commencement Date shall be
confirmed, along with other matters, by written notice sent by Landlord substantially in the form
of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Commencement Notice”). Landlord’s failure to deliver the
Commencement Notice to Tenant shall not effect the determination of the Commencement Date. Upon
the full execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant
access to the Premises to perform the Leasehold Improvements and to otherwise prepare the Premises
for Tenant’s occupancy (including the installation of furniture, fixtures and Tenant’s
telecommunications system). Such early access shall be subject to all of the terms, restrictions
and conditions set forth in this Lease (other than the payment of Base Rent and Tenant’s Operating
Costs Payment) and shall be conditioned upon Tenant furnishing Landlord evidence of insurance
required in Article 13 of this Lease and in Article 7 of

 

 

Exhibit D. Landlord shall contribute Landlord’s Contribution towards the cost of the
Leasehold Improvements pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Exhibit D attached hereto
and made a part hereof.

     Section 3.2 Tenant’s occupancy of any portion of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence
that Tenant (a) has accepted the Premises as suitable for Tenant’s purposes, in its “as is, where
is” condition without any representations or warranties except as specifically set forth herein,
and (b) has waived any defects in the Premises and the Project except for (i) any latent defects in
the Building (including the Central systems of the Building, the mechanical, plumbing, electrical
and heating and ventilation systems in the Premises or other common systems of the Building, the
exterior of the Building and exterior windows of the Building), excluding items of damage caused by
Tenant or the Tenant Parties (as such term is defined in Article 16 below) and excluding items
installed at the Premises as part of or in connection with the performance of the Leasehold
Improvements and/or any Alterations, and (ii) a breach of Landlord’s representations set forth in
Section 8.2 hereof and/or Section 11.5 hereof.

     Section 3.3 Provided Tenant has not exercised Tenant’s option to cancel as set forth in
Article 25 herein, Landlord shall (i) shampoo the carpet throughout the Premises; and (ii) re-paint
the walls of the Premises using Building Standard paint in a color reasonably acceptable to Tenant.
The work described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be referred to herein as the
“Refurbishment Work”. Landlord shall perform the Refurbishment Work on or before November 30,
2015. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Refurbishment Work will occur during the Term of this
Lease and during Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises; provided that Landlord will use its
commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s business and/or occupancy of the
Premises during the performance of the Refurbishment Work but in no event shall Landlord be
obligated to perform the Refurbishment Work after Business Hours. In connection therewith, but
subject to Landlord’s obligation set forth above, Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Refurbishment
Work shall not be deemed a constructive eviction or shall not be deemed to affect Tenant’s quiet
enjoyment of the Premises and thus, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement of rent
as a result thereof.

ARTICLE 4

RENT

     Section 4.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without notice, demand, offset or deduction, in
lawful money of the United States of America, at Landlord’s Address for Payment, or at such other
place or in such other manner as Landlord shall designate in writing from time to time: (a) the
Base Rent in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during
the Term, and (b) the Additional Rent, at the respective times required hereunder. If the
Commencement Date falls on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, the Rent due for
such fractional month shall be prorated on a per diem basis for the portion of such fractional
month falling within the Term. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
and provided no monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default exists hereunder, Tenant shall
not be obligated to pay Base Rent or Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment due for the period beginning
on March 1, 2006 and continuing through June 30, 2007. The total amount of Base Rent and Tenant’s
Operating Costs Payment abated hereunder is collectively

2

 

referred to herein as the “Abated Rent”. If at any time during the forgoing abatement period, a monetary or
material non-monetary Event of Default has occurred under this Lease, then in addition to all other
rights, powers and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, the abatement of Base Rent and
Tenant’s Operating Cost Payment provided to Tenant in this Section 4.1 shall terminate upon written
notice from Landlord and Tenant shall pay all Base Rent and Tenant’s Operating Cost Payment which
would have accrued and been paid after such termination of the abatement (but for the abatement
herein permitted) as and when they become due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
such monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default is thereafter cured in accordance with the
terms of this Lease, the foregoing abatement shall resume such that Tenant receives (when added to
any abatement already received hereunder) a full sixteen (16) months of abatement of Base Rent and
Tenant’s Operating Cost Payment. If Landlord fails to review and approve the Plans or Tenant’s
Contractors within the timeframes specified in Exhibit D and/or if Landlord fails to deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant on the date Landlord and Tenant execute this Lease and/or
Landlord fails to otherwise fulfill its obligations specified in Exhibit D and such failure or
failures result in a delay in the completion of the Leasehold Improvements beyond March 1, 2006,
the Commencement Date shall be delayed one day for each day of delay caused by Landlord and the
Abated Rent shall be revised to begin on the Commencement Date and continue for sixteen (16) full
months thereafter.

     Section 4.2 All installments of Rent not paid within five (5) days after their due date shall
be subject to a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of the late payment and, in
addition, all installments of Rent not paid on their due date shall bear interest from the date due
until paid at a rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the greater of (i) twelve percent
(12%) or (ii) four percent (4%) above the prime rate of interest (the “Prime Rate”) from time to
time publicly announced by BankOne, a national banking association, or any successor thereof;
provided, in no event shall the Interest Rate exceed the maximum rate of interest then permitted by
applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first time Tenant fails to pay Rent within five
(5) days of the date such payment is due during any twelve (12) month period during the Term,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with one (1) Business Day prior written notice before imposing the
late charge and interest provided in this Section 4.2.

     Section 4.3 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the same time as Tenant is required to pay Base
Rent, an amount equal to all federal, state and local gross proceed taxes, privileges taxes, sales
taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes (collectively, “Rent Taxes”) now or hereafter levied or
assessed upon any Rent or other payment, or the payment or receipt thereof, or which Landlord will
be required to pay as a result of its receipt of Tenant’s payment thereof, except that,
notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay
to Landlord any amount on account of any franchise, corporation, income or net profits, excess
profits, transfer, sale, gift, capital stock, inheritance, succession, estate or similar taxes if
any, payable by Landlord.

3

 

ARTICLE 5

OPERATING COSTS

Section 5.1 A. Beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the same
time as it is required to make payment of Base Rent, an amount (the
“Operating Costs Payment”) equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated
Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs attributable to the Project for any full or partial year
during the Term. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay before delinquent all
municipal, county, state and federal taxes assessed during the Term against any leasehold
interest of Tenant or any property owned by Tenant and located in the Premises.

     B. Prior to any year (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable) and from time
to time during any year, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to monthly installments of the
Operating Costs Payment payable by Tenant based on Landlord’s reasonable estimate of
Operating Costs for such year. Until such time as Landlord notifies Tenant of such
estimate, Tenant shall continue to make its Operating Costs Payment in the same monthly
amount as the prior year. On the first day of the calendar month after Landlord’s notice of
any revised estimate in such installments (provided such first day is at least thirty (30)
days after receipt of such notice), Tenant shall pay to Landlord (in addition to the revised
monthly estimate) a lump sum payment in an amount so that Tenant’s total payments for the
year will equal Landlord’s revised estimate of Tenant’s aggregate Operating Costs Payment
for such year. The Operating Costs Payment for the first calendar year in which the Term
falls (if the Commencement Date is other than January 1) and the last calendar year in which
the Term falls (if the Term ends on a date other than December 31) shall be prorated based
upon the number of days in the Term falling within the year in question.

     As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each calendar year, but in no event later
than sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of the tax bill for such year, Landlord shall notify
Tenant as to the amount of such Operating Costs and the Operating Costs Payment resulting therefrom
(an “Annual Adjustment Notice”). If the Operating Costs Payment actually due exceeds total
estimated payments made by Tenant on account of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs for such year,
then Tenant shall pay Landlord the full amount of any such deficiency within thirty (30) days after
receiving the Annual Adjustment Notice. If the Operating Costs Payment actually due is less than
the total estimated payments made by Tenant on account of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs for
such year, then Landlord shall, at its option, credit any such excess to Rent next owing by Tenant
or refund such excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers the Annual
Adjustment Notice to Tenant. If there is no further installment of Rent due by Tenant, Landlord
shall remit such overpayment directly to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the
Annual Adjustment Notice. The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease.

     Section 5.2 If the Building is not fully occupied (meaning one-hundred percent (100%) of the
Rentable Area of the Building) during any full or partial year of the Term, those Operating Costs
which vary with the level of occupancy shall be adjusted for such year to an amount which Landlord
reasonably estimates would have been incurred had the Building been fully occupied. In no event
shall Landlord collect from the tenants of the Building more than the actual Operating Costs for
such year.

4

 

     Section 5.3 Tenant shall have the right upon the delivery of written notice to Landlord
(“Tenant’s Review Notice”) and at reasonable times to review and audit the books and records of
Landlord relating to the Operating Costs. Such review shall take place at the office of Landlord’s
managing agent. Tenant must deliver Tenant’s Review Notice to Landlord within ninety (90)
days after Tenant has received the Annual Adjustment Notice (or if Landlord fails to provide such
Annual Adjustment Notice as provided herein, at any time during the Lease Year) and, provided
Landlord has made the books and records relating to Operating Costs reasonably available to Tenant,
Tenant must complete its review within one hundred fifty (150) days after receipt of such
statement. If Landlord provides the Annual Adjustment Notice to Tenant and Tenant fails to deliver
Tenant’s Review Notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days of receipt of such statement or if
Tenant fails to perform its review and audit within one hundred fifty (150) day of receipt of such
statement and provided Landlord has made the books and records relating to Operating Costs
reasonably available to Tenant, it shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s rights to contest the
amount paid by Tenant pursuant to the Operating Costs Payment and the Annual Adjustment Notice for
the prior year. Tenant shall pay the full amount of the Operating Costs Payment shown to be due on
the Annual Adjustment Notice without delay, but by doing so shall not waive its rights to review
Landlord’s books and records or to dispute the accuracy or appropriateness of any such statement or
any items thereon as provided in this Section 5.3. If such review discloses a discrepancy in
Landlord’s calculation of the Operating Costs, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant the amount of
any overpayment of Operating Costs Payment or Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the amount of
any underpayment by Tenant, as the case may be. If the discrepancy in Landlord’s calculation of
the Operating Costs is in excess of 5%, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable
costs of such review and audit. If the discrepancy in Landlord’s calculation of the Operating
Costs is less than 5%, Tenant shall pay for all costs incurred in connection with the review and
audit. Tenant hereby agrees that all information disclosed in the books and records shall be kept
confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other party, including, but not limited to, any
other tenant in the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall be
permitted to disclose the information in Landlord’s books and records with respect to Operating
Costs to Tenant’s agents, employees, accountants, attorneys, investors and other representatives
who need to know such information to perform the duties for which they were employed. Tenant shall
cause its agents, employees, accountants, attorneys, investors and representatives who have access
to Landlord’s books and records pursuant to this Section 5.3 to keep the information disclosed
therein confidential. Tenant further agrees to cause any third party engaged by Tenant to review
said books and records to execute and deliver a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement
in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and such other party prior to its performing any such
review. In addition, any accountants or other professional retained by Tenant to review Landlord’s
statement pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be
unreasonably withheld, and shall be paid by Tenant on a fixed hourly basis, and not on a
contingency fee based upon a percentage of the recovery of any discrepancy discovered in Landlord’s
statement. Landlord agrees that any independent nationally recognized public accounting firm hired
by Tenant to perform such review and audit shall be acceptable to Landlord (provided such firm is
retained on an hourly basis as required herein).

shall furnish Tenant with the following services: (a) hot and cold water in Building
Standard (as defined in Exhibit D) bathrooms and chilled water in Building Standard
drinking fountains and in Tenant’s kitchen or lunchroom area (in no event shall Landlord be
obligated to furnish hot water to any area other than the Building Standard bathrooms); (b)
electrical power from the utility supplier sufficient for Building Standard lighting and for
business equipment in the Premises which consume, in the aggregate, less than six (6) watts
per square foot of Rentable Area of the Premises and require a voltage of 120 volt single
phase or less; (c) heating, ventilating or air-conditioning, as appropriate, to the Premises
and the Common Areas of the Project, during Business Hours at such temperatures and in such
amounts as customarily and seasonally provided to tenants occupying comparable space in
Class A office buildings of similar age and size in the suburban Chicago area (“Class A
Buildings”); (d) electric lighting for the Common Areas of the Project; (e) non-exclusive
passenger elevator service for access to and from the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per

the number of (but not cease to operate all) elevators to be operated after Business Hours
and on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays; (f) janitorial cleaning services Monday through
Friday, excluding Holidays; (g) non-exclusive facilities for Tenant’s loading and unloading
activities during Business Hours; and (h) replacement, as necessary, of all Building
Standard lamps and ballasts in Building Standard light fixtures within the Premises, with
Tenant to pay for all bulbs and ballasts and to purchase such bulbs and ballasts solely from
Landlord at the price generally charged by Landlord for such items from time to time,
provided such price shall not exceed the price then customarily being charged by landlords
of other similar buildings in the Chicago Metropolitan area. All services referred to in
this Section 6.1A shall be provided by Landlord and paid for by Tenant as part of the
Operating Costs Payment, other than the costs of bulbs and ballasts which are paid by Tenant
directly to Landlord.

     B. If Tenant requires services in addition to those set forth above and such services
are routinely supplied by Landlord to other tenants of the Building or if Tenant requires
electricity, water, heating, ventilating or air conditioning at hours and days not specified
in Section 6.1A above, Landlord shall provide such additional service within a reasonable
time after Tenant’s written request. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of such
additional service, such cost to be equitably allocated among all tenants concurrently
requesting such service. Tenant shall pay the charges for any additional service,
including, but not limited to, hoisting services or after hours heating or air conditioning,
at the same time as the installment of Base Rent with which they are billed, or if billed
separately, within thirty (30) days after such billing. Tenant shall not use in the
Premises any machinery or equipment which generates abnormal heat or otherwise creates
unusual demands on the electrical, air-conditioning or heating, or any other system serving
the Premises or the Building. Landlord’s current charge for after-hours HVAC is $55.00/hour
which rate may be increased by Landlord from time to time. Other than the hourly rate
charged by Landlord, Tenant shall not be required to pay any other

6

 

fee in connection with
after-hours HVAC service (including, but not limited to, the administrative fee described in
Section 20.2 herein).

     Section 6.2 Except as provided above in Section 6.1(A), Landlord shall not be obligated to
furnish utility services to the Premises. If Landlord elects not to supply utility services to the
Premises but contracts with an electric service provider to supply such service,
Landlord shall notify Tenant of the same and Tenant shall make all necessary arrangements with
the provider or alternative utility service suppliers (“Suppliers”) selected by Landlord to service
the Building, and shall be subject to the rules and regulations of such Suppliers and any municipal
or other governmental authority regulating the business of providing such services. No change in
Suppliers, or change in service from any Supplier, shall cause (1) any disruption in the provision
of electric current, or (2) Tenant to incur any charges for such change or (3) Tenant to incur
charges for electricity service which are in excess of market competitive rates. Tenant shall
cooperate with Landlord and the Suppliers at all times and, as reasonably necessary, allow Landlord
and the Suppliers reasonable access to the lines, feeders, risers, wiring, pipes, meters and any
other machinery within the Premises. The Premises are and will continue to be separately metered
for electricity.

     Section 6.3 Except as specifically provided in this Section 6.3, no change, failure, defect,
unavailability, or unsuitability in the supply or character of the utility services furnished to
the Premises, whether by Landlord or the Suppliers, shall constitute an actual or constructive
eviction, in whole or in part or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Rent or other
claim for damages, nor relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Should any
malfunction of any systems or facilities occur within the Project or should maintenance or
alterations of such systems or facilities become necessary, Landlord shall repair the same promptly
and with reasonable diligence, and except as specifically provided otherwise in this Section 6.3
with respect to abatement of Rent, Tenant shall have no claim for rebate, abatement of Rent, or
damages because of malfunctions or any such interruptions in service. Landlord may, at its option,
make all repairs, in and about the Building and the Premises during Business Hours, so long as
(except in case of an emergency) the performance of such work during Business Hours does not
materially interfere with Tenant’s access to the Premises or materially interfere with Tenant’s
ability to conduct its business in the Premises. If Landlord performs repairs within the Premises
or in the Building during Business Hours that materially affect Tenant’s access to or ability to
conduct business in the Premises and Tenant in fact ceases doing business in the Premises (or a
material portion thereof) as the result of such work for a period in excess of four (4) consecutive
Business Days after written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement
of Rent (as to the Premises or to such material portion thereof). Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to Tenant’s inability to
conduct business in the Premises due to (i) a fire or other casualty which shall be governed by
Article 14 hereof; (ii) a condemnation which shall be governed by Article 15 hereof; or (iii) any
entry and/or repair by Landlord if such entry and/or repair is necessitated by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Tenant or the Tenant Parties or Landlord is exercising its rights to make
repairs or perform maintenance on Tenant’s behalf as provided in Section 8.1 of this Lease. The
abatement described herein shall begin on the fourth (4th) consecutive Business Day of
such interference and continue until the earlier of (a) the date Landlord completes the repairs; or
(b) the date Tenant actually resumes use of the Premises (or material portion thereof). Upon
completion of such repairs to the Premises or the Building,

7

 

Landlord shall remove any and all
construction debris and materials from the Premises and leave the Premises in a condition
substantially similar to the condition that existed prior to the commencement of such repairs. In
no event shall such repairs, (i) materially change the size, shape or configuration of the
Premises, and/or (ii) be made within the Secured Area unless Tenant specifically requests Landlord
to make repairs and/or perform maintenance in the Secured Area and has provided Landlord with
access thereto (Tenant hereby releases Landlord
from any obligation of Landlord specifically set forth in this Lease or implied by the terms
hereof to make any repairs, provide janitorial service and/or perform any maintenance in the
Secured Area unless Tenant has specifically requested that such repairs be made or that such
janitorial service and/or maintenance be performed and has provided Landlord access to the Secured
Area to make such repairs and/or maintenance). In no event shall the immediately preceding
sentence require Landlord to make any repairs and/or perform any maintenance within the Secured
Area that is not specifically required of Landlord with respect to the Premises as set forth in
this Lease nor shall the immediately preceding sentence require Landlord to make such repairs
and/or perform such maintenance in a manner which is not customarily done.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if: (i) Landlord ceases to furnish any service in the Building
as a result of a condition which affects only the Building (that is, which does not affect
buildings in general in the vicinity of the Building or effects more than the Building but is
within the reasonable control of Landlord) and (ii) Tenant notifies Landlord of such cessation in
writing within three (3) Business Days after such cessation begins and (iii) such cessation has
not arisen as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or the Tenant Parties and
(iv) as a result of such cessation, the Premises (or a material portion thereof) is rendered
untenantable and Tenant in fact ceases to occupy such space in the manner used prior to such
cessation, then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for such cessation, on the fourth
(4th) consecutive Business Day after the cessation (or, in the event that such cessation
was caused by Force Majeure, on the tenth (10th) consecutive day after the cessation),
the Rent payable hereunder shall be equitably abated based on the percentage of the Premises so
rendered untenantable and in fact not used by Tenant. Such abatement shall begin on the fourth
(4th) consecutive Business Day of such cessation (or, in the event that such cessation
was caused by Force Majeure, on the tenth (10th) consecutive day after the cessation)
and continue until the earlier of (a) the date the Premises (or such material portion thereof)
becomes tenantable again by the removal of such cessation of services or (b) the date Tenant
actually resumes use of such Premises (or such material portion thereof).

ARTICLE 7

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     Section 7.1 Tenant shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, (i) assign, pledge, encumber
or otherwise transfer this Lease or any part hereof, or the interest of Tenant under this Lease,
(ii) sublease all or any portion of the Premises, or (iii) allow the Premises or any part thereof
to be occupied or used for any purpose by anyone other than Tenant (individually or collectively, a
“Transfer”), without first obtaining in each instance the prior written consent of Landlord.
Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8

 

     Section 7.2 A Transfer shall also be deemed to have occurred if (a) in a single transaction or
in a series of transactions more than 49% of the economic, ownership or voting interests (whether
stock, partnership interest, membership interest or otherwise) in any of (i) Tenant, or any party
directly or indirectly owing or controlling Tenant, (ii) any guarantor of this Lease, or (iii) any
subtenant is transferred, diluted, reduced, or otherwise affected with the result that the holder
or owners as of the date of this Lease of such parties, have less than a 51% economic, ownership
and voting interest in such parties, or (b) Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease are taken over or assumed in consideration of Tenant leasing space in another office
building. The transfer of the publicly traded outstanding capital stock of any such parties
through the “over-the-counter” market or any recognized national securities exchange shall not
constitute a Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary,
a Transfer shall not be deemed to have occurred if the economic, ownership or voting interests of
Triarc Companies, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries (other than Tenant) are transferred, traded or
sold and/or if Tenant (including any successor tenant or any entity that controls Tenant) becomes a
publicly traded company that is listed on a national stock exchange.

     Section 7.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1 or 7.4 Tenant may, upon
ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, (a) sublet all or part of the Premises, or assign
this Lease, to any entity which controls Tenant, is controlled by Tenant or is under common control
with Tenant; or (b) assign this Lease to a successor corporation or other entity into which or with
which Tenant is merged or consolidated or which acquired substantially all of Tenant’s assets and
property (the activities described in clauses (a) and (b) are referred to herein as “Permitted
Transfers” and the entities which meet the criteria set forth in this Section 7.3 are referred to
herein as “Permitted Transferees”); provided that (i) such successor entity assumes all of the
obligations and liabilities of Tenant and has a net worth (excluding good will) reasonably
equivalent to the average net worth (excluding good will) of Tenant during the twelve (12) months
preceding the date of the Permitted Transfer as determined by Landlord in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and (ii) Tenant shall provide in its notice to Landlord the
information required in Section 7.4. For purposes hereof, “control” shall mean possession of the
power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through
the ownership of voting securities or otherwise.

     Section 7.4 If Tenant desires to engage in a Transfer, Tenant shall give Landlord written
notice no later than thirty (30) days in advance of the proposed effective date of the Transfer
specifying the name and business of the proposed transferee or subtenant (the “Transferee”), the
amount and location of the space (if the proposed space is to be subleased), the proposed
Transferee’s financial statements, the proposed terms of the Transfer and other information as
Landlord may reasonably request to evaluate the proposed Transfer. Landlord may condition its
consent to any Transfer on its receipt of fifty percent (50%) of any excess Rent generated by any
Transfer after deducting therefrom Tenant’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such
Transfer, including advertising expenses, brokerage commissions, rent concessions, tenant
improvement allowances, other financial concessions, and legal fees, and may, instead of granting
its consent, recapture and terminate this Lease with respect to, any space that is the subject of
the Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord exercises the foregoing
recapture right, Tenant shall have the right to rescind the proposed transfer thereby invalidating
such recapture by providing written notice thereof to Landlord within five (5) Business Days
following its receipt of Landlord’s recapture notice. In the event

9

 

that Landlord recaptures the
Premises or applicable portion thereof, Landlord shall be responsible for any and all costs to
fully demise such areas.

     Landlord’s refusal to consent to a Transfer shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if
(a) the proposed Transferee is not financially creditworthy, is a governmental authority or agency,
an organization or person enjoying sovereign or diplomatic immunity, a school or university, a
call-center, a medical or dental practice, a so-called “telecommunication service
provider” for housing equipment rather than general office use or is a user that will impose
an excessive demand on or use of the facilities or services of the Building (except to the extent
Tenant or such transferee pays for increasing the capacity of such facilities or services to the
extent required in connection with such increased use and the consumption of same), is a current
tenant or subtenant of the Project (unless Landlord is unable to provide such tenant or subtenant
with adequate space in the Project due to lack of available space) or is a prospective tenant to
whom Landlord has provided a written proposal to lease space in the Project within the last three
(3) months, (b) an Event of Default by Tenant then exists under this Lease, (c) such assignment or
subletting would violate the existing exclusives set forth on Exhibit P attached hereto and made a
part hereof or any future exclusives granted by Landlord to bona fide third parties, provided
Tenant has received written notice of same prior to the date Tenant markets all or a portion of the
Premises for the proposed Transfer, or (d) any portion of the Building or Premises would likely
become subject to additional or different Requirements as a consequence of the proposed assignment
or subletting, (except to the extent that Tenant or such transferee pays for the costs to comply
which such additional or different Requirements).

     For Transfers that are not Permitted Transfers, Landlord shall have fifteen (15) days
following receipt of such notice and other information requested by Landlord to notify Tenant in
writing that Landlord elects to: (i) terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as of the
proposed effective date set forth in Tenant’s notice (unless Tenant rescinds its transfer notice as
set forth above), in which event Tenant shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as
to such space, except for provisions of this Lease which expressly survive the termination hereof;
or (ii) permit Tenant to engage in such Transfer which permission may be conditioned on Landlord’s
receipt of fifty percent (50%) of any excess rent or other consideration generated by a Transfer
after deducting therefrom Tenant’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer,
including advertising expenses, brokerage commissions, rent concessions, tenant improvement
allowances, other financial concessions, and legal fees; or (iii) reasonably withhold consent to
such Transfer. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request for consent to a Transfer within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of all information required to be delivered by Tenant pursuant to this
Section 7.4, then Tenant shall send written notice to Landlord stating that Landlord’s failure to
respond within five (5) additional Business Days from the date of such second notice shall be
deemed to be consent to the Transfer. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s notice described in
the immediately preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof, Landlord shall
be deemed to have elected to permit Tenant to engage in such Transfer subject to the condition that
Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of any excess rent and other consideration as set forth in (ii)
above.

     Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all documents executed in connection with any
permitted Transfer, which documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord and which shall require any Transferee to assume performance of all terms of this

10

 

Lease.
Any sublease shall be in form and substance acceptable to Landlord and shall contain the agreement
of such subtenant to attorn to Landlord, at Landlord’s option and written request, in the event
this Lease terminates before the expiration of the sublease.

     No Transfer shall relieve Tenant from any covenant, liability or obligation hereunder (whether
past, present or future) and Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease as a principal and not as
a surety; provided, however, in the case of an assignment of this Lease, if the
transferee has a net income of at least $15,000,000.00 (after debt service payments but
without deduction therefrom for rental expenses due under this Lease) and has provided reasonable
evidence of same to Landlord and such transferee has assumed all of the liability and obligations
under this Lease as of the date of the Transfer, then Tenant shall be released from all liability
arising under this Lease from and after the date of such Transfer. If requested in writing by
Tenant, Landlord shall provide written acknowledgement of such release to Tenant. Landlord’s
consent to a Transfer shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent Transfer. No acceptance by
Landlord of any Rent or any other sum of money from any Transferee shall be deemed to constitute
Landlord’s consent to any Transfer. Any attempted Transfer by Tenant in violation of this Article
7 shall be void. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, reasonable and customary legal
fees, a reasonable administrative fee and any other reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with any proposed Transfer (including a Permitted Transfer) requested or made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the administrative fee charged by Landlord in
connection with Landlord’s review of a proposed Transfer shall not exceed (i) $2,000.00 during
Lease Years 1 through 5; (ii) $3,000.00 during Lease Years 6 through 10; and (iii) $4,000.00 during
Lease Years 11 through 15.

     Section 7.5 Tenant acknowledges that this Lease is a lease of nonresidential real property and
therefore Tenant, as the debtor in possession, or the trustee for Tenant (collectively the
“Trustee”) in any proceeding under Title 11 of the United State Bankruptcy Code relating to
Bankruptcy, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), shall not seek or request any extension of time to
assume or reject this Lease or to perform any obligations of this Lease which arise from or after
the order of relief.

ARTICLE 8

REPAIRS

     Section 8.1 Tenant shall keep the Premises (including the Leasehold Improvements and any
Alterations) in good order and in a safe, neat and clean condition. If Tenant fails to promptly
commence and diligently pursue the performance of such maintenance or the making of such repairs or
replacements, then Landlord may, at its option, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and
Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord, on demand, the cost thereof. All maintenance and
repairs made by Tenant shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with
the alteration provisions of Article 9.

     Section 8.2 Subject to the provisions of Article 14 and Article 15, Landlord shall keep the
Building, Central building systems and the Common Areas in good order and in a safe, neat and clean
condition. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall maintain and make all necessary repairs
to the foundations, roof, exterior walls and structural elements of the Building,

11

 

the electrical,
plumbing, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems comprising the Central systems of the
Building and the Common Areas of the Building, and the costs of such maintenance and repair shall
be included in Operating Costs (subject to limitations set forth in the definition of Operating
Costs). Landlord represents and warrants that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, the Building
(excluding the improvements which currently exist within the Premises) and the Central systems
which service the Premises are in compliance with all applicable Requirements as of the date of
execution of this Lease. Landlord shall make any and all repairs,
replacements and improvements required due to a breach of the foregoing representation and
warranty, the cost of which shall not be included in Operating Costs. Landlord shall indemnify,
defend and hold Tenant harmless from the actual damages suffered by Tenant (other than
consequential damages) arising from or attributable to the breach by Landlord of the foregoing
representation and warranty contained in this Section 8.2.

ARTICLE 9

ALTERATIONS

     Section 9.1 Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements, additions or repairs
(including without limitation, Major Alterations and Specialty Alterations, collectively
“Alterations”) to the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent thereto, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, (1) that Landlord may
withhold its consent in its sole discretion to any Alterations which (a) are visible from the
exterior of the Building or the Project, (b) may affect the Central systems or any structural
components of the Building, or (c) are prohibited by any Requirements (individually and
collectively, a “Major Alteration”) and (2) Landlord’s consent is not required for Permitted
Alterations. As used herein, “Permitted Alterations” means Alterations (a) that are neither Major
Alterations nor Specialty Alterations, (b) that cost less than Two Dollars ($2.00) per square foot
of the Rentable Area of the Premises for each project (and Three Dollars ($3.00) per square foot of
the Rentable Area of the Premises in the aggregate for any twelve (12) month period) and (c) that
are cosmetic in nature. Tenant may perform Permitted Alterations so long as Tenant informs
Landlord in reasonable detail of the nature of the Permitted Alteration and otherwise complies with
the provisions of this Article 9. Landlord may elect, in its sole discretion, to perform any Major
Alteration or Specialty Alteration which affect the Central systems, the Common Areas or the
exterior of the Building.

     Section 9.2 Prior to commencing any Alteration, Tenant shall submit detailed plans and
specifications for Landlord’s review and approval. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its approval or
disapproval of such plans and specification and the work described therein within ten (10) Business
Days of receipt thereof. Landlord shall state in writing and in reasonable detail any objection to
such Alteration. Tenant may revise its plans and specifications to incorporate such comments and,
if Tenant does so, it may again request Landlord’s consent pursuant to the process described above.
Neither approval of the plans and specifications nor supervision of the Alteration by Landlord
shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency
or propriety of such plans and specifications or the quality of workmanship or the compliance of
such Alteration with Requirements. If Tenant desires to revise any plans and specifications after
obtaining Landlord’s approval thereof, Tenant shall re-submit such plans and specifications to
Landlord for its approval as provided above.

12

 

     Section 9.3 All Alterations shall (a) be performed by union labor; (b) not adversely affect
the safety of the Project, the Building or the Premises or the Central systems; (c) comply with all
applicable Requirements; (d) not result in any usage in excess of Building Standard capacity for
water, electricity, gas, or other utilities or of heating, ventilating or air-conditioning (either
during or after such Alteration); (e) be completed promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner
and in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord;
(f) not disturb Landlord or other tenants in the Building; (g) be performed at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense; and (h) be performed pursuant to all required building and construction permits;
and (i) be performed by contractors and subcontractors reasonably approved by Landlord prior to the
commencement of such work. After completion of any Alterations, Tenant will deliver to Landlord
(1) if applicable, a copy of “as built” plans and specifications depicting and describing such
Alterations and (2) final sworn owners and contractors’ statements and full and final waivers of
lien covering all labor and materials included in such Alteration. During the performance of any
Alterations, Tenant shall maintain, and shall cause its contractors to maintain, the insurance
coverage described in Section 13.1A(e).

     Section 9.4 Each Alteration and the Leasehold Improvements made by Tenant in or upon the
Premises (excepting only Tenant’s personal property, furniture, equipment and trade fixtures
hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Property”), whether temporary or permanent in character, shall
become Landlord’s property upon its attachment to the Premises and shall remain upon the Premises
at the expiration or termination of this Lease without compensation to Tenant; provided, however,
upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term: (i) Landlord shall have the right to
require Tenant to remove any Alteration made to the Premises (other than the Leasehold
Improvements) if Landlord informs Tenant in writing at the time Landlord consents to any Alteration
that Landlord shall require removal of such Alteration at the expiration or termination of this
Lease. (If Landlord fails to notify Tenant in writing that an Alteration must be removed at the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its
right to require such removal); (ii) Tenant shall remove (with no further notice to Tenant
required with respect thereto) all telephone and telecommunications wiring and cabling installed in
the Premises whether installed as part of the Leasehold Improvements or as part of any Alterations)
and all bathrooms, showers and locker rooms and related fixtures in any fitness center located in
the Premises; and (iii) if Tenant failed to obtain Landlord’s prior consent to any Alteration which
consent is required pursuant to Section 9.1 above, Landlord may require Tenant to remove such
Alteration if Landlord informs Tenant in writing that Landlord requires such removal at any time
prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Tenant shall, at its cost and expense,
remove all Premises Improvements specifically required to be removed by Tenant under this Lease and
all of Tenant’s Property and repair any and all damage to the Premises and the Building caused by
such removal on or before the expiration or termination of this Lease. In no event (including in
the event of a termination of this Lease by Tenant pursuant to Article 25 herein) shall Tenant be
required to remove any improvements, Alterations or Specialty Alterations that exist within the
Premises as of the date of execution of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall
survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease. In addition to the removal
obligations set forth herein, Tenant shall also be subject to (i) the removal obligations set forth
in Article 25 of this Lease if Tenant exercises its right to cancel the Lease provided therein; and
(ii) the additional removal obligations set forth in Articles 26, 27 and 28.

13

 

ARTICLE 10

LIENS

     Tenant shall keep the Project free from any liens arising from any work performed, materials
furnished, or obligations incurred by, or on behalf of Tenant. If any lien is filed, such
lien shall encumber only Tenant’s interest in the Leasehold Improvements and Alterations on
the Premises. Within ten (10) days after the filing of any such lien, Tenant shall notify Landlord
of such lien. Tenant shall, within twenty five (25) days of the filing of such lien, either (i)
discharge and cancel such lien of record, (ii) contest the same with diligence, in good faith and
in accordance with applicable Requirements and post a bond sufficient under the laws of the State
of Illinois to cover the amount of the lien claim plus any penalties, interest, attorneys’ fees,
court costs, and other legal expenses in connection with such lien, or (iii) contest the same with
diligence, in good standing and in accordance with applicable Requirements and obtain a title
insurance endorsement for the Project insuring over the lien (together with the costs of defense)
in a form and from a title insurance company acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant fails to timely
satisfy its obligations set forth in the previous sentence, Landlord may, upon five (5) days prior
notice to Tenant, pay the full amount of such lien without inquiry into the validity thereof, and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days after notice to Tenant, as Additional Rent,
for all amounts so paid by Landlord, including expenses and attorneys’ fees, together with interest
thereon until paid at the Interest Rate.

ARTICLE 11

USE AND COMPLIANCE; HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

     Section 11.1 The Premises shall be used only for Tenant’s Permitted Use and for no other
purposes whatsoever.

     Section 11.2 Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, comply with all Requirements applicable
to Tenant or the Premises and the use thereof and indemnify and hold Landlord and the Landlord
Parties harmless from any losses, damages, costs, claims or expenses including all attorneys’ fees
and consultant fees (collectively, “Claims”) which the Landlord Parties incur or suffer by reason
of Tenant’s failure to comply with such Requirements applicable to Tenant or the Premises. If
Tenant receives written notice from any governmental agency of any violation of any Requirements,
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of such alleged violation and furnish Landlord
with a copy of such notice. Tenant shall comply with all requirements, rules, orders, codes and
regulations of any board of insurance regulators or underwriters with respect to Tenant’s use and
occupancy of the Premises.

     Section 11.3 Except for de minimis amounts of Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined)
which are a part of or contained in customary office supplies and/or equipment, and then only if
used, stored and disposed of in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable
Requirements, Tenant shall not, nor shall Tenant permit the Tenant Parties or any other party to,
use, store, generate, treat, release or dispose of any Hazardous Substance at or on the Project.
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from all Claims arising from
or attributable to any breach by Tenant of the covenants contained in this

14

 

Section 11.3, as well as
the use of any Hazardous Substances as permitted by this Section 11.3. Tenant’s indemnification
obligations under this Section 11.3 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

     Section 11.4 Tenant shall observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations and shall use
reasonable business efforts to make the Tenant Parties observe and comply with the Rules
and Regulations. Landlord shall at all times have the right to make reasonable changes and
additions to such Rules and Regulations provided Landlord delivers written notice of such changes
and additions to Tenant. Any failure by Landlord to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations now
or hereafter in effect, either against Tenant or any other tenant in the Building, shall not
constitute a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
the failure or refusal by any other tenant, guest, invitee, visitor, or occupant of the Building to
comply with any of the Rules and Regulations; provided, however, Landlord agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all tenants at the Building to abide by the Rules and
Regulations. In the event of a conflict between the Rules and Regulations and the provisions of
this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail.

     Section 11.5 Landlord represents and warrants that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, the
Project is in compliance with all Requirements including those regulating and/or relating to
Hazardous Substances as of the date of this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold
Tenant harmless from the actual damages suffered by Tenant (other than consequential damages)
arising from or attributable to the breach by Landlord of the foregoing representation and warranty
contained in this Section 11.5, as well as any Claims arising out of the use of any Hazardous
Substances in the Project by Landlord or the Landlord Parties. Landlord’s indemnification
obligations under this Section 11.5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

ARTICLE 12

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     Section 12.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an
“Event of Default” under this Lease: (a) Tenant fails to pay any Rent hereunder as and when such
Rent becomes due and such failure shall continue for more than five (5) Business Days after the
date due; (b) Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises for the performance of the Leasehold
Improvements within four (4) months after the execution of this Lease and the delivery of
possession of the Premises to Tenant; (c) Tenant permits to be done anything which creates a lien
upon the Premises and fails to satisfy its obligations as and when required by Article 10; (d)
Tenant violates the provisions of Article 7 by making an unpermitted Transfer; (e) Tenant fails to
maintain in force all policies of insurance required by this Lease and such failure shall continue
beyond the earlier to occur of (i) the lapse of such policy and (ii) ten (10) days after Landlord
gives Tenant notice of such failure; (f) any petition is filed by or against Tenant under any
present or future section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any similar law or statute of
the United States or any state thereof (which, in the case of an involuntary proceeding, is not
permanently discharged, dismissed, stayed, or vacated, as the case may be, within ninety (90) days
of commencement), or if any order for relief shall be entered against Tenant or any guarantor of
this Lease in any such proceedings; (g) Tenant becomes

15

 

insolvent or makes a transfer in fraud of
creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (h) a receiver, custodian, or
trustee is appointed for the Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or of
any guarantor of this Lease, which appointment is not vacated within ninety (90) days following the
date of such appointment; (i) Tenant fails to originally post the Security Deposit as required
pursuant to Article 19 hereof within twenty (20) Business Days after the full execution and
delivery of this Lease or thereafter restore the Security Deposit as
required pursuant to Article 19 hereof within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written
notice from Landlord; or (j) Tenant fails to perform or observe any other terms of this Lease
(other than those specified above in this Section 12.1) and such failure continues for more than
thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such failure in the case of a
non-emergency, or immediately in the case of an emergency, or, if such non-emergency failure cannot
be corrected within such thirty (30) day period, if Tenant does not commence to correct such
failure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the correction of
same to completion within an additional period of time reasonably necessary to correct such
failure, but not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days.

     Section 12.2 During the continuance of any Event of Default, Landlord may pursue at its option
any one or more of the following without further notice or demand to Tenant, Tenant hereby
expressly waiving the requirement of service of any statutory notice or demand as a condition
precedent to Landlord’s exercising any of the following rights:

     A. Terminate this Lease and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, an accelerated
lump sum amount equal to the amount, if any, by which Landlord’s commercially reasonable
estimate of the aggregate amount of Base Rent and Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment owing
from the date of such termination through the scheduled expiration date of the Term, plus
Landlord’s commercially reasonable estimate of the aggregate expenses of reletting the
Premises (which expenses shall include, without limitation, brokerage fees, leasing
commissions, legal fees and tenant concessions incurred or estimated to be incurred by
Landlord and costs of removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupants’ property,
repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable
to a new tenant or tenants, and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing its
remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs [collectively, “Reletting
Costs"]), exceeds Landlord’s commercially reasonable estimate of the fair rental value of
the Premises for the same period (after giving effect to the time needed to relet the
Premises) both discounted to present value at the rate at which U.S. Treasuries are then
yielding for a term closest to the scheduled expiration date of the Term; or

     B. Terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without termination of this
Lease, re-enter the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise, expel Tenant and remove
all property therefrom, using commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises at
market rent and receive the rent therefrom, provided, however, Tenant shall not be entitled
to receive any such rent and shall remain liable for the equivalent of the amount of all
Rent reserved herein less the avails of reletting, if any, after deducting therefrom the
Reletting Costs. Any and all monthly deficiencies so payable by Tenant pursuant to this
clause shall be paid monthly on the date herein provided for the payment of Base Rent.
(Notwithstanding anything contained herein to

16

 

the contrary, the parties agree that using
commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises shall not require Landlord to (i)
relet the Premises in preference to any other space in the Building; (ii) relet the
Premises to any party or entity that Landlord could reasonably reject as an assignee or
sublessee pursuant to Article 7 hereof; or (iii) offer rent, length of terms or other terms
for the Premises which would be less favorable to Landlord than what is being offered for
comparable space in the Building. The parties
further agree that the immediately preceding sentence sets forth only examples of
circumstances when Landlord will not be deemed to have failed to use reasonable efforts to
relet the Premises and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all such situations.); or

     C. Apply against any amounts owed by Landlord to Tenant, any amounts then due and
payable by Tenant to Landlord; or

     D. At its option, but without any obligation, perform any obligation of Tenant under
this Lease and, if Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
performing such obligations, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the
date incurred until paid in full, shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord on demand and
shall be considered Rent for purposes of this Lease; or

     E. Re-enter, seize and take possession of Tenant’s Property located at the Premises,
all of which shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and to sell such property at public or
private sale or otherwise discard or dispose of such property, without being liable for
prosecution or any claim for damages thereof. Landlord shall apply the amounts received
from the sale of Tenant’s Property against amounts due Landlord by Tenant hereunder (after
deducting therefrom Landlord’s expenses incurred in connection with the storage and sale of
such items); or

     F. Immediately cease providing Tenant with any additional services that are provided
pursuant to Section 6.1B hereof.

     Section 12.3 No agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises and no act or omission by
Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall constitute an acceptance or surrender of the
Premises unless made in writing and signed by Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the
Premises by Landlord shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a
written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Except as specifically provided above with
respect to Landlord’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises, no
provision of this Lease shall be construed as an obligation upon Landlord to mitigate Landlord’s
damages under the Lease, except to the extent required by applicable Requirements.

     Section 12.4 No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless
such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent following an Event
of Default hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default. No custom or
practice between the parties in connection with the terms of this Lease shall be construed to waive
or lessen Landlord’s right to insist upon strict performance of the terms of this Lease, without a
written notice thereof to Tenant from Landlord.

17

 

     Section 12.5 The rights granted to Landlord in this Article 12 shall be cumulative of every
other right or remedy provided in this Lease or which Landlord may otherwise have at law or in
equity or by statute, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or
impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies or constitute a forfeiture
or waiver of Rent or damages accruing to Landlord by reason of any Event of Default under this
Lease. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
with an Event of Default and the enforcement of this Lease, including all attorneys’
fees incurred in connection with the collection of any sums due hereunder or the enforcement
of any right or remedy of Landlord.

ARTICLE 13

INSURANCE

Section 13.1 A. Tenant shall obtain and keep in force during the Term the following
insurance: (a) “All Risk” insurance insuring the Leasehold Improvements, all Alterations
and any other improvements existing in the Premises (collectively, with all Alterations and
the Leasehold Improvements the “Premises Improvements”), Tenant’s interest in the Premises
and all Tenant’s Property in an amount equal to the full replacement value; (b) Business
Interruption Insurance in an amount, when combined with the extra expense coverage set forth
below, is sufficient to reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings
attributable to all perils insured against under Section 13.1A(a) or attributable to the
prevention of access to the Premises by civil authority, and sufficient to reimburse Tenant
for Rent for a period of at least six (6) months in the event of a casualty to, or temporary
taking of, the Building or the Premises; (c) Commercial General Public Liability insurance
including personal injury, bodily injury, broad form property damage, products and completed
operations liability, contractual liability, coverage to include contractors and
subcontractors performing any work at the Building, with a cross liability clause and a
severability of interests clause, in limits not less than $5,000,000.00, inclusive, per
occurrence (with extra expense coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 which when combined with
the Business Interruption Insurance set forth above, is sufficient to reimburse Tenant for
direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils insured against under Section
13.1A(a) or attributable to the prevention of access to the Premises by civil authority, and
sufficient to reimburse Tenant for Rent for a period of at least six (6) months in the event
of a casualty to, or temporary taking of, the Building or the Premises); (d) Workers’
Compensation, in form and amount as required by applicable Requirements, including
Employer’s Liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000.00; and (e) during the time
Tenant, or its contractor, performs any Alterations in the Premises, Builder’s Risk
insurance on an “All Risk” basis (including collapse) on a completed value (non-reporting)
form for full replacement value covering all work incorporated in the Building and all
materials and equipment in or about the Premises; (f) Automobile Liability covering all
owned, leased, non-owned, hired, rented or borrowed vehicles and related equipment with
limits of no less than $1,000,000.00 for bodily injury and property damage combined; and (g)
any other form or forms of insurance or any changes or endorsements to the insurance
required herein as Landlord, or

18

 

any mortgagee or lessor of Landlord, may reasonably require,
from time to time, in form or in amount. For the purposes of this Section 13.1A,
“non-owned” vehicles shall mean vehicles and related equipment that are not owned by Tenant,
but which are used or operated in the course of Tenant’s business by Tenant or Tenant’s
employees or agents under Tenant’s direction and control.

     B. All such policies of insurance shall name Tenant as the insured thereunder and
(except for the insurance described in Section 13.1A(d)) shall name Landlord, the Building’s
property manager and other parties identified by Landlord such as mortgagees and ground
lessors (herein, such mortgages and ground lessors are collectively referred to as “Secured
Parties” or individually as “Secured Party”), as additional insureds, all as their
respective interests may appear. All such policies as well as the insurers and deductibles
shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant (or any Permitted Transferee) need not
obtain Landlord’s approval for deductibles of $100,000.00 or less for Tenant’s “All-Risk”
property coverage and $50,000.00 or less for Tenant’s Commercial General Public Liability
insurance provided Tenant (or the Permitted Transferee) has a net income of at least
$15,000,000.00 (after debt service payments but without deduction therefrom for rental
expenses due under this Lease) and has provided reasonable evidence of same to Landlord.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of the insurance required hereunder by the
Commencement Date and, with respect to renewals of such policies, not later than ten (10)
days prior to the end of the expiring term of coverage. All policies of insurance shall be
primary and Tenant shall not carry any separate or additional insurance concurrent in form
or requiring contribution in the event of any loss or damage with any insurance maintained
by Landlord. All such policies and certificates shall contain an agreement by the insurers
(i) that the policies will not be invalidated as they affect the interests of Landlord, the
Building’s property manager and the Secured Parties by reason of any breach or violation of
warranties, representations, declarations or conditions contained in the policies and (ii)
that the insurers shall provide Landlord with not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice of any termination or cancellation (ten (10) days for non-payment of premium) of such
policies and (iii) waiving any rights of subrogation for the insurance required hereunder
(except for Automobile Liability insurance). The Tenant named in this Lease or a Permitted
Transferee may self-insure any of the insurance coverage obligations hereunder so long as
Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee) has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
that Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee) has a net income of at least $15,000,000.00 (after
debt service payments but without deduction therefrom for rental expenses due under this
Lease). If Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee) elects to self-insure as provided herein,
Tenant (or the Permitted Transferee) shall be deemed to be its own insurance carrier for
purposes of this Lease and, in no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of
self-insurance, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a “Certificate of Insurance” evidencing
such self-insurance.

     Section 13.2 Landlord shall obtain “All Risk” property insurance on the Project (exclusive of
Premises Improvements and Alterations) against damages or loss in an amount equal to the full
replacement value, as well as commercial general public liability insurance and such other
insurance as is customarily maintained by prudent owners of Class A Buildings, all in

19

 

such amounts
with such deductibles and insurers as is customary for prudent owners of Class A Buildings.
Landlord’s insurance policies shall contain an agreement by the insurer waiving rights of
subrogation.

     Section 13.3 Tenant shall not conduct or knowingly permit to be conducted in the Premises any
activity, or place any equipment in or about the Premises or the Building, which
will invalidate the insurance coverage in effect or increase the rate of “All Risk” property
insurance or other insurance on the Premises or the Building, and Tenant shall comply with all
commercially reasonable requirements and regulations of Landlord’s casualty and liability insurer
of which Tenant has received written notice. If any increase in the rate of property insurance or
other insurance carried by Landlord occurs due to any act or omission by any Tenant Parties (as
defined below), Tenant shall pay for the portion of such increase which is attributable to the acts
or omissions of Tenant or the Tenant Parties as Additional Rent payable with the next monthly
installment of Base Rent due under this Lease.

     Section 13.4 Landlord and Tenant, in the exercise of their commercial business judgment,
acknowledge that the use of insurance is the best way to protect against the risk of loss to their
respective properties and economic interests in the Project and the Premises. Accordingly, each
agree that in the event of loss or damage to their respective properties or interests, such loss
will be satisfied first by the insurance proceeds paid to the party suffering the loss, next such
loss will be deemed satisfied by the insurance proceeds that would have been paid to the party
suffering the loss had the insurance required hereunder been carried by such party, and finally,
such loss will be satisfied by the party causing the loss or damage. Without limiting the waiver
of subrogation required in Section 13.1B and 13.2, if and to the extent that applicable
Requirements permit a full waiver of claims between landlords and tenants in leases such as this
Lease, then Landlord and Tenant waive all claims against the other and the Tenant Parties and the
Landlord Parties, respectively, for any loss, damage or injury, notwithstanding the negligence of
either party in causing a loss or the availability of insurance proceeds.

ARTICLE 14

DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE

     Section 14.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 14, if the Building (or
any portion thereof) or the Premises is damaged or destroyed during the Term, Landlord shall
diligently repair and restore the Building and, if applicable, the Premises (exclusive of the
Premises Improvements and Tenant’s Property), as the case may be, as soon as reasonably possible to
substantially the condition in which the Building and, if applicable, the Premises, existed
immediately prior to such damage or destruction (exclusive of the Premises Improvements and
Tenant’s Property). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 14, if the Premises
Improvements and Tenant’s Property (or any portion thereof) are damaged or destroyed during the
Term, Tenant shall diligently repair or restore, in accordance with the provisions governing
Alterations as set forth in Section 9, the Premises Improvements and Tenant’s Property in the
Premises as soon as reasonably possible to substantially the condition in which such items existed
immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

20

 

     Section 14.2 Except as provided in this Section 14.2, Landlord shall have no liability to
Tenant for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any casualty or any
restoration. If the Premises (or any portion thereof) is not tenantable pending reconstruction as
provided in Section 14.1, and in fact is not occupied by Tenant, Rent due and payable hereunder
shall equitably abate for the portion of the Premises which is untenantable and not so occupied for
the period commencing with the date of such casualty until the earlier of the date (i) that
reconstruction of the Building and, if applicable, the Premises is substantially completed by
Landlord to the extent required to be completed by Landlord as provided in Section 14.1 and
the restoration of the Premises Improvements in the Premises has been substantially completed by
Tenant (provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to more than six (6) months from
the date Landlord substantially completes the repairs to the Premises to complete the restoration
of the Premises Improvements) or (ii) that Tenant resumes the conduct of its business from such
portion of the Premises.

     Section 14.3 If there is damage or destruction to the Building (whether or not such damage
affects the Premises) or to the Premises, to the extent that Landlord reasonably determines that
the Building or the Premises (exclusive of the Premises Improvements and Tenant’s Property), as the
case may be, cannot be fully repaired or restored within (i) one hundred eighty (180) days from the
date of the casualty and occurs at any time during the Term or (ii) if the casualty occurs during
the last Lease Year of the Term, then, Landlord and (solely in the event that a material portion of
the Premises is damaged or access to the Premises is materially damaged or destroyed and Landlord
has not provided substitute access to the Premises which is reasonably acceptable to Tenant) Tenant
shall have the option, upon written notice delivered to the other party within fifteen (15) days of
Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written notice of the length of such restoration (such notice to be
provided within sixty (60) days of such casualty), to terminate this Lease. It shall be deemed to
be a casualty of a “material portion of the Premises” if (i) any portion of the Secured Area is
destroyed or damaged and, as a result thereof, Tenant is unable to operate the functions performed
in the Secured Area from the Secured Area or elsewhere in the Premises and Tenant is unable to
perform such functions from a remote location at no material additional cost to Tenant; or (ii) a
material portion of the parking provided to Tenant hereunder is destroyed and Landlord has not
provided reasonable substitute parking to Tenant at no additional actual out-of-pocket cost to
Tenant. If the restoration to the Project is prohibited by any Requirements or prohibited by any
future or existing mortgage or deed to secure debt made for the benefit of a third party
institutional lender or other matter of record which is made for the benefit of a third party
(hereafter, “Encumbrances”) then, Tenant or Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease upon giving
written notice of such election to the other within sixty (60) days after the date of such
casualty. If the insurance proceeds are insufficient or otherwise not available (unless such
insufficiency or unavailability is due to Landlord’s failure to maintain the insurance required
hereunder), then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease upon giving written notice of such
election to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such casualty. In addition to the foregoing, if
the insurance proceeds are insufficient or otherwise not available, then Tenant may elect to
terminate this Lease upon giving written notice of such election to Landlord within sixty (60) days
after such casualty; provided, however, if, upon thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s
termination notice, Landlord informs Tenant in writing that Landlord will use other funds for the
restoration of the Project, then Tenant’s termination of the Lease shall be of no force and effect.
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Landlord shall be deemed to have delivered “reasonable
substitute parking” to Tenant (as such

21

 

phrase is used throughout this Lease) if such parking is
located within the following boundaries: Oakton Avenue on the north to Lawrence Avenue on the
south and Cumberland Avenue on the east to Manheim Road on the west.

     Section 14.4 In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article 14, then (1)
all Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the later of the date on which possession is relinquished
or the date of such damage, (2) Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises as
required herein and (3) Tenant shall pay to Landlord that amount of Tenant’s insurance
proceeds that Tenant receives (or the amount which would have been received by Tenant if Tenant was
carrying the insurance required by this Lease) that is attributable to the Premises Improvements.
Tenant shall be permitted to any portion of the insurance proceeds received by Tenant which covers
Tenant’s Property. Landlord acknowledges that the award received by Tenant may be limited to the
cash value of the Premises Improvements as of the date of the casualty; provided, however, if the
award received by Tenant covers the replacement value of the such items, Landlord shall be entitled
to same. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 14.4 shall survive the termination of this Lease.
If neither Landlord nor Tenant timely elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect and the Building and Premises shall be diligently repaired and restored in
accordance with Section 14.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the Building and,
if applicable, the Premises are not repaired and restored within the number of days equal to one
hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the number of days specified in the notice for completion of
the repair and restoration of the Building given by Landlord to Tenant, then either party (but as
to Landlord, only if Landlord has diligently commenced and pursued such repair and restoration) may
terminate this Lease, effective as of the date of such fire or other casualty, by written notice to
the other party delivered not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of said period;
provided, however, if Landlord completes the restoration and repair within said thirty (30) day
period, then Tenant’s termination of the Lease shall be of no force and effect.

ARTICLE 15

CONDEMNATION

     Section 15.1 If the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the whole or
substantially the whole of the Premises are taken or condemned by eminent domain or by any
conveyance in lieu thereof (such taking, condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof being
hereinafter referred to as “condemnation”), the Term shall cease and this Lease shall terminate on
the date the condemning authority takes possession.

     Section 15.2 If any portion of the Building or Common Areas shall be taken by condemnation
(whether or not such taking includes any portion of the Premises), which taking, in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment, is such that the Building or Common Areas cannot be restored in an
economically feasible manner for use substantially as originally designed, then Landlord shall have
the right, at Landlord’s option, to terminate this Lease, effective as of the date specified by
Landlord in a written notice of termination from Landlord to Tenant provided such date is no later
than the date the condemning authority takes possession of the Premises and no earlier than sixty
(60) days after receipt of notice by Landlord of such condemnation (provided Landlord is given at
least sixty (60) days notice by the condemning authority to vacate

22

 

the Premises and provided
further that Landlord provides notice to Tenant within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s receipt
of written notice from the condemning authority). If any portion of the Project other than the
Building is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect unless
terminated by Landlord pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 15.

     Section 15.3 If any portion of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation which, in Tenant’s
reasonable judgment, makes the remainder of the Premises not useable for Tenant’s purposes, then
Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s option, to terminate this Lease, effective as of the date
the condemning authority takes possession. If Tenant does not exercise its right to terminate
under this Section 15.3 and Landlord does not exercise its right to terminate under Section 15.2
above, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the remainder of the Premises. If
this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15, then the Rent due and
payable hereunder shall equitably abate for the portion of the Premises which is permanently
condemned and not occupied for the period commencing with the earlier of the date such portion of
the Premises is given to the condemning authority or is separately demised in anticipation thereof.

     Section 15.4 If this Lease terminates pursuant to the provisions of Article 15, the Rent shall
be apportioned as of such date of termination; provided, however, that those provisions of this
Lease which are designated to cover matters of termination and the period thereafter shall survive
the termination hereof.

     Section 15.5 All compensation awarded or paid upon a condemnation of any portion of the
Project shall belong to and be the property of Landlord without participation by Tenant. Nothing
herein shall be construed, however, to preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim directly against
the condemning authority for loss of business, loss of good will, moving expenses, damage to, and
cost of removal of, trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property belonging to Tenant that
shall not diminish or adversely affect any award claimed or received by Landlord.

ARTICLE 16

INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 16.1 Tenant shall indemnify and save Landlord, the Secured Parties and the Landlord
Parties harmless from and against all Claims brought by third parties and that arise from Tenant’s
or its subtenant’s, assignee’s, agent’s, licensee’s, contractor’s, subcontractor’s, officer’s,
director’s, partner’s or employee’s (herein, Tenant and such other parties are collectively
referred to as the “Tenant Parties”) use and occupancy of the Premises and the Project or from any
other activity, omission, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or the Tenant Parties
in or about the Premises and the Project. If any such proceeding is filed by a third party against
Landlord or any such indemnified party, Tenant agrees to defend Landlord or such party in such
proceeding at Tenant’s sole cost by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and such
indemnified party, if requested by Landlord. In no event shall Tenant be obligated to indemnify
Landlord or any of the other parties identified above for any willful or negligent act or omission
of Landlord or such other party.

23

 

     Section 16.2 Landlord shall indemnify and save Tenant and the Tenant Parties harmless from and
against all Claims brought by third parties and that arise from Landlord’s or its agent’s,
assignee’s, licensee’s, contractor’s, subcontractor’s, officer’s, director’s, partner’s or
employee’s (herein, Landlord and such other parties are collectively referred to as the “Landlord
Parties”) use and occupancy of the Premises and the Project or from any other activity, omission,
work, or
thing done, permitted or suffered by Landlord or Landlord Parties in or about the Premises and
the Project. If any such proceeding is filed by a third party against Tenant or any such
indemnified party, Landlord agrees to defend Tenant or such party in such proceeding at Landlord’s
sole cost by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and such indemnified party, if
requested by Tenant. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to indemnify Tenant or any of the
other parties identified above for any willful or negligent act or omission of Tenant or such other
party.

     Section 16.3 The provisions of this Article 16 shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Lease with respect to any Claims asserted against Landlord or Tenant within any applicable
statute of limitations.

ARTICLE 17

SUBORDINATION

     Section 17.1 This Lease shall be subordinate to the present mortgage encumbering the Project,
and any amendments thereto; provided, however, such subordination shall be conditioned upon the
full execution and delivery of the SNDA described herein. Simultaneously with the execution of
this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K and made a part hereof (the “SNDA”). Within
sixty (60) days from the date Landlord and Tenant have executed the SNDA, Landlord shall cause the
existing mortgagee as of the date of this Lease to execute and deliver the SNDA to Tenant. Unless
elected otherwise by the ground lessor or Secured Party, as the case may be, this Lease shall also
be subordinate to any future ground leases or mortgages respecting the Project, and any amendments
thereto provided a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the
form set forth on Exhibit K (or on such other form which is reasonably acceptable to Tenant) is
executed by Landlord, Tenant and such ground lessor or Secured Party. Within ten (10) Business
Days of request therefore by Landlord or any ground lessor or Secured Party, Tenant shall execute
and deliver the subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to Landlord and the ground
lessor or Secured Party. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs imposed by any such ground
lessor or Secured Party and incurred by Landlord in connection with the preparation, negotiation
and execution of the SNDA or any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement required
by a future ground lessor or Secured Party.

     If any ground lease is terminated or mortgage foreclosed or deed in lieu of foreclosure given,
then, subject to the terms of the SNDA, Tenant shall attorn to such Secured Party, ground lessor or
purchaser at such foreclosure sale and this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease
between Tenant and such Secured Party or purchaser. The ground lessor or Secured Party or
purchaser shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including
Landlord); (b) obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord (including Landlord) which

24

 

occurred prior to the time that Lender or such other purchaser succeeded to the interest of such
prior landlord under the Lease; provided, however, if such defaults are on-going and continue after
Lender has accepted title to the Premises and has received notice of such defaults, then Lender
shall be responsible for curing the portion of the default which continues after the date Lender or
such other purchaser succeeded to the interest of such prior landlord under the Lease
and; (c) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may be entitled to assert against any
prior landlord (including Landlord); provided, however, if such right of offset or defense arises
from a default which is on-going and continues after Lender has accepted title to the Premises and
has received notice of such default, then Lender shall be subject to any offsets or defenses which
Tenant may be entitled to assert in connection with the portion of the default which continues
after the date Lender or such other purchaser succeeded to the interest of such prior landlord
under the Lease; (d) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant to any prior
landlord (including Landlord) for more than one month in advance except for estimates for Tenant’s
share of Operating Costs; or (e) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without
the written consent of Lender or such other purchaser which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

     Section 17.2 Any ground lessor, Secured Party or purchaser shall be responsible for the return
of any Rent (except for payments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs) voluntarily paid more than
thirty (30) days in advance by Tenant only to the extent such Rent is received by or credited to
such ground lessor, Secured Party or purchaser.

     Section 17.3 No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under
the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or to
terminate this Lease, shall result in a release of such obligations or a termination of this Lease
unless (a) Tenant has given notice by registered or certified mail (or by a nationally recognized
air express courier) to any Secured Party whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, and
(b) Tenant offers such Secured Party an opportunity to cure such default during the period of time
during which the Landlord would be permitted to cure such default, but in any event such Secured
Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after such Secured Party has received notice of the
default; provided, however, that in the event the Secured Party is unable to cure the default by
exercise of reasonable diligence within such 30-day period and provided the Secured Party has
diligently commenced and is diligently pursuing a cure, the Secured Party shall have such
additional period of time as may be reasonably required to remedy such default not to exceed one
hundred eighty (180) days after the receipt of notice of such default.

ARTICLE 18

SURRENDER OF THE PREMISES AND HOLDOVER

     Upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon any re-entry of the
Premises by Landlord without terminating this Lease pursuant to Section 12.2(B), Tenant, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall peacefully vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in
the same condition as existed immediately prior to termination (subject to Tenant’s obligations to
remove certain Alterations and/or Leasehold Improvements pursuant to and in accordance with

25

 

Section 9.4 and in Articles 25, 26, 27 and 28 of this Lease), reasonable use, wear and tear thereof
and repairs which are Landlord’s obligations under Articles 8, 14 and 15 only excepted. Upon
Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall comply with Section 9.4 relating to removal and
restoration as well as remove all Tenant’s Property and any Premises Improvements which are
required to be removed pursuant to Section 9.4 (and repair any and all damage to the Premises and
the Building as a result of such removal) and turn over all keys for the Premises to Landlord.
Tenant shall remove all debris from the Premises upon such surrender. If Tenant made any
Alterations to the Premises that are not Permitted Alterations without Landlord’s prior consent,
Landlord shall be entitled to require Tenant to remove same upon Tenant’s surrender of the
Premises. Should Tenant continue to hold the Premises after the Expiration Date or earlier
termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, such holding over shall constitute and
be construed as a tenancy at sufferance on the same terms hereof except (A) monthly installments of
Rent shall be equal to (i) for the first thirty (30) days of any such holdover, one-hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the greater of the Rent in effect as of the date of termination or the fair
market rent as of the date of termination, and (ii) after the first thirty (30) days of any such
holdover, two-hundred percent (200%) of the greater of the Rent in effect as of the date of
termination or the fair market rent as of the date of termination and (B) Tenant shall have no
right to renew this Lease or to expand the Premises or any right to additional services. Tenant
shall also be liable to Landlord for any and all damages which Landlord suffers because of any
holding over by Tenant. Any Tenant’s Property not removed that is required to be removed pursuant
to terms of this Lease, may be removed by Landlord and stored, discarded, retained or sold by
Landlord and the cost of such storage, discarding, removal and disposition as well as the cost of
repairing any damage caused by such removal, shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days of
demand and such sum shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate from the date incurred until paid in
full. No acceptance of Rent payable pursuant to this Section 18 by Landlord shall operate as
waiver of Landlord’s right to gain possession of the Premises or any other remedy set forth herein.
The provisions of this Article 18 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.

ARTICLE 19

SECURITY DEPOSIT

     Within twenty (20) Business Days after the full execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant
shall, as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, deliver to
Landlord an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit (such letter of credit and any amendment
or replacement thereof approved by Landlord is defined herein as the “Letter of Credit” and such
Letter of Credit, together with the cash proceeds of any draw thereunder, shall be collectively
referred to as the “Security Deposit”) in favor of Landlord and its successors and assigns. The
Letter of Credit shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F and shall be issued by a
financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall be equal to $3,000,000.00. The
initial Letter of Credit hereunder shall expire no earlier than fourteen (14) months after the
Commencement Date and any replacement Letter of Credit hereunder shall expire no earlier than
twelve (12) months from the then outstanding and expiring Letter of Credit, with the final Letter
of Credit to expire no earlier than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term. Any
replacement Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the then outstanding Letter of Credit. Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s

26

 

sole cost and expense, to transfer the Letter of Credit to any purchaser of the Building and,
for collateral purposes, to any mortgagee or lessor. Upon such transfer for other than collateral
purposes, Tenant shall look solely to such purchaser for return of the Letter of Credit, and
Landlord shall be relieved of any liability with respect to such items. Unless required by
applicable Requirements, Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit segregated
from other funds of Landlord or to pay interest thereon. Tenant shall not assign or in any way
encumber the Security Deposit and shall pay all costs and expenses related to maintaining the
Letter of Credit, including the fees of the financial institution that issues the Letter of Credit.
During the continuance of any Event of Default or the failure of Tenant to timely deliver a
replacement Letter of Credit as required hereunder, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other
remedy, draw upon the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part and use any portion of the Security
Deposit to cure such Event of Default or hold as a Security Deposit. In no event shall the cash
proceeds of any draw on the Letter of Credit be considered an advance payment of Rent, and in no
event shall Tenant be entitled to use such cash proceeds for the payment of Rent. Following any
such draw and the application thereof to cure any such Event of Default, Tenant shall either pay to
Landlord, within five (5) Business Days of written demand, the amount so applied in order to
restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, or, restore the Letter of Credit to its
original amount. If no Event of Default is then continuing at the termination of this Lease, any
remaining balance of the Security Deposit or remaining Letter of Credit shall be returned to Tenant
within the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease; or (ii) thirty (30) days after Tenant’s surrender of the Premises in accordance with
Article 18 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 19 to the contrary, and provided no
Event of Default exists under the Lease as of the effective date of the reductions of the Security
Deposit as described herein and provided Tenant shall not have been late more than four (4) times
in the payment of Rent during the prior twelve (12) month period, then the Letter of Credit shall
automatically reduce (or a replacement Letter of Credit in such reduced amount shall be provided)
at the beginning of the third (3rd) Lease Year and each Lease Year thereafter through
the end of the tenth (10th) Lease Year of the Term as set forth on Schedule 1.2 attached
hereto. If a monetary Event of Default or a material non-monetary Event of Default existed at the
time of a scheduled reduction or if Tenant has been late in the payment of Rent four (4) or more
times during the twelve (12) month period prior to such reduction and as a result thereof, the
Letter of Credit did not automatically reduce, the Letter of Credit shall reduce on next scheduled
reduction date to the appropriate amount for such Lease Year as set forth on Schedule 1.2 hereof
(which shall be the amount that the Letter of Credit would have been but for the Event of Default)
only if such Event of Default has been cured and/or Tenant has not again been late in the payment
of Rent. If an Event of Default existed at the time of a scheduled reduction and such Event of
Default was neither a monetary Event of Default or a material non-monetary Event of Default (and
Tenant was not late in the payment of Rent four (4) or more times during the twelve (12) month
period prior to such reduction) then the Letter of Credit shall reduce at the time such Event of
Default is cured to the appropriate amount for such Lease Year as set forth on Schedule 1.2 hereof
(which shall be the amount that the Letter of Credit would have been but for the Event of Default).
If the Letter of Credit automatically reduced in violation of the terms of this Article 19, Tenant
shall be required to obtain a replacement Letter of Credit for the correct amount which is required
hereunder. From the commencement of the eleventh (11th) Lease Year through the
remainder of the Term, Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Monthly
Base Rent and Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment (as reasonably determined by

27

 

 Landlord) payable by Tenant during the fifteenth (15th) Lease Year of the Term.
Landlord will provide Tenant with the required amount for the Letter of Credit for the eleventh
(11th) Lease Year at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the tenth
(10th) Lease Year. The reductions in the Letter of Credit shall be accomplished either
by automatic reductions pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit or by Tenant providing
Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit in the reduced amount or an amendment to the existing
Letter of Credit amending the amount to the reduced amount. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that
the pre-approved Letter of Credit form attached hereto as Exhibit F assumes that the Commencement
Date of the Lease will be March 1, 2006 and provides for the automatic reductions of the Letter of
Credit to occur on certain anniversaries of said date and for the final Letter of Credit not to be
extended beyond April 1, 2021. If the Commencement Date is delayed as contemplated in Section 4.1
herein, the Letter of Credit shall be amended to provide for the reductions of the Letter of Credit
to occur on the appropriate anniversaries of the delayed Commencement Date and for the final date
of the Letter of Credit to be thirty (30) days after the delayed Expiration Date.

ARTICLE 20

item or service from time to time(provided, however, in all instances the “reasonable and customary

services which are imposed by other landlords at similar buildings in the Chicago metropolitan

     Section 20.3 Severability. Every provision in this Lease is, and shall be construed
as, a separate and independent covenant. If any term of this Lease or the application thereof to

Lease as well as any ground leasehold interest or fee estate in the Project or any interest in such
fee estate.

to Force Majeure. Force Majeure shall not excuse or delay Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent or
either party’s obligation to pay any other amounts due under this Lease. As used herein, “Force
Majeure” shall mean strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials in the Chicago
metropolitan and suburban area, weather or war, or any other similar cause which is beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable.

this Lease by implication or otherwise except as, and unless, expressly set forth in this Lease.

     Section 20.10 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Lease and the Exhibits and Riders

laws of the State of Illinois. Any action brought to enforce or interpret this Lease shall be
brought in the court of appropriate jurisdiction in Cook County, Illinois. Should any provision of

participated in the preparation of this Lease and that each party had full opportunity to consult
legal counsel of its choice before the execution of this Lease.

by any structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to the Building shall not affect this Lease
and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with respect thereto.

     Section 20.15 Changes to Project by Landlord. So long as such changes do not
materially and adversely interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s
business, materially affect access to the Premises (other than on a temporary basis to prevent any
adverse possession or public dedication claim) or materially affect Tenant’s parking rights granted
herein (and Landlord has not provided reasonable substitute parking at no additional out-of-pocket
costs to Tenant, Landlord shall have the following rights: (a) the unrestricted right to make
changes to all portions of the Project in Landlord’s reasonable discretion for the purpose of
improving access or security to the Project or the flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic
therein; (b) change the arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways,

30

 

corridors, elevators, stairs, bathrooms, or any other Common Areas (without the same
constituting an actual or constructive eviction or imposing any liability on Landlord);
(c) rearrange, change, expand or contract portions of the Project constituting Common Areas;
(d) use Common Areas while engaged in making improvements, repairs or alterations to the Project,
or any portion thereof; (e) do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in to or
with respect to the Project, or any portion thereof, as Landlord may, in the exercise of sound
business judgment, deem to be appropriate; (f) change the name or address of the Building or the
Project; provided that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its costs and expenses incurred in
replacing Tenant’s stationary, marketing materials and/or business cards on hand (but not more than
a sixty (60) day supply) which contain the name or address of the Building.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord breaches its obligations set forth in this
Section 20.15 and as a result thereof, Tenant’s use of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s
business is materially and adversely interfered with, access to the Premises is materially affected
and/or Tenant’s parking rights granted herein are materially affected (and Landlord has not
provided reasonable substitute parking at no out-of-pocket cost to Tenant) and Tenant in fact
ceases doing business in the Premises (or a material portion thereof) as the result of Landlord’s
breach for a period in excess of four (4) consecutive Business Days after written notice to
Landlord, Tenant (as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for such interference) shall be entitled to
an equitable abatement of Rent (as to the Premises or to such material portion thereof). The
abatement described herein shall begin on the fourth (4th) consecutive Business Day of
such interference and continue until the earlier of (a) the date the condition giving rise to the
abatement is alleviated or remedied; or (b) the date Tenant actually resumes use of the Premises
(or material portion thereof).

     Section 20.16 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to the various time
periods set forth under this Lease.

     Section 20.17 Landlord’s Acceptance of Lease. The submission of this Lease to Tenant
shall not be construed as an offer and Tenant shall not have any rights with respect thereto unless
Landlord executes a copy of this Lease and delivers the same to Tenant.

     Section 20.18 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) Business Days after request by,
among other things, either party, the other party shall execute and deliver to the requesting party
a written certificate to such party’s actual knowledge as to the status of this Lease, any existing
defaults, the status of the payments and performance of the parties required hereunder and such
other information that may be reasonably requested. Any such certificate may be relied upon by
Landlord, any successor landlord, any Secured Party or lessor of Landlord.

is made in connection with a sale, mortgage, ground lease or other transfer of all or any portion
of the Project; (ii) an Event of Default is continuing under this Lease (and Landlord is reasonably
insecure about Tenant’s financial condition ); and/or (iii) Tenant has been late in the payment of
Rent four (4) or more times during any twelve (12) month period (and Landlord is reasonably
insecure about Tenant’s financial condition), Tenant shall, upon ten (10) days prior written
request from Landlord, provide Landlord with a current financial statement and any financial
statements that Tenant has available to Tenant (without having to prepare same) for the two (2)

31

 

years prior to the current financial statement year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
shall not request Tenant’s financial statements more than two (2) times during any twelve (12)
month period if such request is made in connection with a sale, mortgage, ground lease or other
transfer of all or any portion of the Project. Such statement shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be
audited by an independent certified public accountant.

Lease shall be made by electronic funds transfer to an account designated in writing by Landlord.

ANY ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE IN A FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN
THE DISTRICT WHERE THE PROJECT IS LOCATED, CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO HAVE ANY PROCEEDING TRANSFERRED FROM SUCH COURTS ON THE GROUND OF IMPROPER VENUE OR
INCONVENIENT FORUM.

     Section 20.22 Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of
a lesser amount than the Rent stipulated herein shall be deemed to be other than on account of the
earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any check or payment of Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord shall
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such
Rent or to pursue any other remedy in this Lease.

     Section 20.23 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

     Section 20.24 Waiver. No failure by either party to exercise, or delay in exercising,
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any consent or approval given by
Landlord in any one instance shall not constitute consent or approval for any subsequent matter,
even if similar to the matter for which such consent or approval was originally given.

     Section 20.25 Areas Excluded From Demise. The exterior walls of the Premises and the
area beneath the finished floor of the Premises as well as the area above the finished ceiling
level of the Premises are not demised hereunder, and the use thereof together with the right to
install, maintain, use, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, heating, ventilating,
cooling, plumbing, electrical and other systems as well as structural elements leading through or a
part of the Premises in locations that will not materially interfere with Tenant’s use thereof are
hereby reserved unto Landlord. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing
in this Section 20.25 shall preclude Tenant from accessing the areas described herein during the
performance of the Leasehold Improvements if such access is required.

32

 

     Section 20.26 Landlord’s Right to Inspect. Landlord shall retain duplicate keys,
cards, access codes or other access means to all doors of the Premises. Landlord shall have the
right to enter the Premises at reasonable hours upon reasonable notice (or, in the event of an
emergency with respect to (d) and (e) below, at any hour without notice) (a) to Exhibit the same to
present or prospective Secured Parties or purchasers during the Term and to prospective tenants
during the last Lease Year, (b) to confirm that Tenant is complying with all of Tenant’s covenants
and obligations under this Lease, (c) to clean or make repairs required of Landlord under the terms
of this Lease, (d) to make repairs to areas adjoining the Premises, and (e) to repair and service
utility lines or other components of the Building; provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
for the exercise of Landlord’s rights under this Section 20.26.

     Section 20.27 Brokerage. Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other
that it has not entered into any agreement with, or otherwise had any dealings with, any broker or
agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease which could form the basis of
any claim by any such broker or agent for a brokerage fee or commission, finder’s fee, or any other
compensation of any kind or nature in connection herewith, other than with Broker, and each party
shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from all Claims by any broker or agent with respect to
this Lease which arise out of any agreement or dealings, or alleged agreement or dealings, between
the indemnifying party and any such agent or broker, other than with Broker. Landlord shall pay
Broker as required pursuant to certain commission letters between Landlord and Broker relating to
this Lease. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

     Section 20.28 Notices. All notices, consents, demands, requests, documents, or other
communications (other than payment of Rent) required or permitted hereunder (collectively,
“notices”) shall be in writing and be deemed given, whether actually received or not, when
dispatched for hand delivery (with signed receipts) to the other party, or on the first Business
Day after dispatched for delivery by nationally-recognized air express courier (with signed
receipts) to the other party, or on the second Business Day after deposit in the United States
mail, postage prepaid, certified, return receipt requested, except for notice of change of address
which shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt. The addresses of the parties for notices are
set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or any such other addresses subsequently specified by
each party in notices given pursuant to this Section 20.28.

     Section 20.29 Secured Area. Tenant may designate the computer room located in the
Premises as a “Secured Area” by the delivery of written notice to Landlord depicting the exact
location of such area. The Secured Area can not be located in any area of the Premises which
impedes Landlord’s access to the Central systems of the Building or which Landlord must retain
access to in order to perform Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord agrees not to
enter the Secured Area without a representative of Tenant and shall give Tenant at least two (2)
Business Days notice prior to such entry (and at least five (5) Business Days notice if such entry
is to show the Secured Area to prospective Secured Parties, purchasers or tenants); provided,
however, in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant said two (2)
Business Day notice. If Landlord must enter the Secured Area in the event of an emergency,
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice to Tenant and shall
secure the Secured Area after exiting therefrom. Landlord shall not be responsible for, and shall

33

 

have no liability to Tenant with respect to, any damage Landlord causes if Landlord is forced
to access the Secured Area in the event of an emergency and Tenant has not provided such access to
Tenant (provided Landlord exercises commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to have Tenant
provide such access).

     Section 20.30 Storage Space. Throughout the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall have a
right to lease from Landlord any storage space in the Project which is available for lease.
Initially, Tenant shall lease 1,641 square feet of storage space in the area depicted on
Exhibit O attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Initial Storage Space”). Provided
Landlord has the space available (with no obligation of Landlord to demise any space to create
different sizes of storage space), Tenant shall have the right, at any time during the Term, to
exchange the Initial Storage Space for other storage space in the Building (whether such space is
larger or smaller than the Initial Storage Space) and to lease additional storage space from
Landlord. Provided Landlord has the space available, Landlord shall deliver such storage space to
Tenant within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s written request therefor. In addition, Tenant shall
have the right to terminate the lease for the Initial Storage Space or any other storage space
leased by Tenant upon the delivery of thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord (such
termination shall not preclude Tenant from thereafter exercising its rights provided in this
Section 20.30 to re-lease the Initial Storage Space or lease different storage space from Landlord;
provided such Initial Storage Space or different storage space is available at such time).
Hereinafter, the Initial Storage Space and any additions to or replacements thereof shall be
referred to collectively as the “Storage Space”. As of the date of this Lease, the annual rental
rate for the Storage Space shall be Twelve Dollars per square foot ($12.00/sq. ft.). The rental
rate for the Storage Space shall be subject to increases by Landlord from time to time (as and when
such rates are increased by Landlord for similar storage space at the Project but in no event shall
such increases exceed 2.5% per annum). Tenant shall use the Storage Space solely for the storage
of materials, equipment, files, records and furniture related to the use of the Premises. Unless
otherwise terminated as provided herein, the term for the Storage Space shall commence on the
Commencement Date and shall expire on the Expiration Date. Landlord shall have the right to
relocate the Storage Space to other space in the Project provided such space is of comparable size
and provided Landlord pays the reasonable moving costs in connection therewith. Landlord agrees to
relocate Tenant only if Landlord needs the Storage Space in connection with performing Landlord’s
obligations under the Lease. In no event shall the Storage Space be included in the calculation of
Tenant’s Share and Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Operating Costs for said space. Landlord
shall not provide any services to the Storage Space other than elevator access to and lighting of
the Storage Space, at no cost to Tenant (other than as part of Operating Costs as provided in this
Lease). Tenant shall accept the Storage Space in its “as-is” condition subject only to any latent
defects in the Storage Space but excluding items of damage caused by Tenant or the Tenant Parties.
Tenant shall be obligated to maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the Storage Space and, at
the end of the term for the Storage Space, Tenant shall surrender the Storage Space to Landlord in
the same condition as existed as of the date of this Lease, reasonable use, wear and tear thereof
and repairs which are Landlord’s obligations under Articles 8, 14 and 15 only excepted. Tenant
shall remove all debris and Tenant’s Property from the Storage Space upon such surrender. Tenant
shall not assign or sublet all or any part of the Storage Space unless such assignment is made in
connection with a Transfer consented to by Landlord (or a Permitted Transfer) pursuant to Article 7
herein. Tenant shall not be permitted to make any alterations or improvements to the Storage
Space without the prior consent of

34

 

Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall maintain the same
types and amounts of insurance for the Storage Space as is required for the Premises. Except as
provided in this Section 20.30 or implied by the terms hereof, all of covenants, conditions and
obligations of Tenant set forth in the Lease with respect to the Premises shall apply to the
Storage Space.

     Section 20.31 Facsimile Signatures. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Lease
shall be binding upon the exchange of facsimile signatures. Landlord and Tenant agree to deliver
to one another executed originals of the Lease within seven (7) Business Days of the exchange of
the facsimile signatures.

ARTICLE 21

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE 22

PARKING

     Section 22.1 Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to use in common with other tenants
and with the public the Parking Facility and shall issue Parking Permits for such use. Each such
Parking Permit shall entitle Tenant to one (1) unassigned parking space in the Parking Facility.
Tenant shall be entitled to the number of Parking Permits set forth in Item M of the Basic Lease
Information. During the Term, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to use five (5) assigned
parking spaces ( which during the initial Term only shall be at no cost to Tenant), at the
locations set forth on Exhibit L attached hereto and made a part hereof (such assigned
spaces shall be in addition to the unassigned Parking Permits granted to Tenant). During the Term
Tenant shall also have the right to convert up to twelve (12) Parking Permits for the unassigned
spaces into assigned spaces, at locations in the Parking Facility designated by Landlord (provided
all such converted spaces shall be in the area set forth on Exhibit M attached hereto and
made a part hereof), at an initial rate of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per space per month in 2006 (to
be increased from time to time by Landlord as and when such rates are increased by Landlord for all
users of the Parking Facility). Landlord shall have the right to relocate any or all of the
assigned parking spaces during the Term, provided Landlord relocates such spaces only within the
areas set forth on Exhibit N attached hereto and made a part hereof. Landlord shall only
relocate Tenant’s assigned parking spaces for a commercially reasonable business decision (which
shall include, but not be limited to, relocating Tenant’s assigned parking to accommodate another
tenant at the Building who leases more space than Tenant and to create handicapped parking spaces,
but shall not include relocating Tenant to accommodate another tenant who leases less space at the
Building than Tenant). Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with any additional
Parking Permits or assigned parking spaces (other than as specifically provided in this
Section 22.1). If Tenant fails to observe the Rules and Regulations with respect to the Parking
Facility, then Landlord, at its option, shall have the right to treat such failure as a default
under this Lease and to terminate Tenant’s Parking Permits and Tenant’s rights to the assigned
parking spaces, without legal process, and to remove Tenant, Tenant’s vehicles and those of its
employees, licensees or invitees and all of Tenant’s personal property from the Parking Facility.

35

 

     Section 22.2 Subject to Sections 14.3 and 15.3, if all or any portion of the Parking Facility
shall be damaged or rendered unusable by fire or other casualty or any taking pursuant to eminent
domain proceeding (or deed in lieu thereof), and as a result thereof Landlord or the garage
operator is unable to make available to Tenant the parking provided for herein, then the number of
cars which Tenant shall be entitled to park hereunder shall be proportionately reduced so that the
number of cars which Tenant may park in the Parking Facility after the casualty or condemnation in
question shall bear the same ratio to the total number of cars which can be parked in the Parking
Facility at such time as the number of cars Tenant had the right to park in the Parking Facility
prior to such casualty or condemnation bore to the aggregate number of cars which could be parked
therein at that time. Subject to applicable Requirements and Encumbrances and provided neither
Landlord nor Tenant have exercised its rights to terminate the Lease as provided in Article 14 of
this Lease, Landlord shall repair the Parking Facility in the event of a casualty. If Landlord is
unable to provide reasonable substitute parking to Tenant (at no additional out-of-pocket cost to
Tenant) during such repair of the Parking Facility, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s
reasonable costs to obtain substitute parking during the reconstruction period.

     Section 22.3 Landlord shall keep the Parking Facility in good order and in a safe, neat and
clean condition and Landlord shall maintain and make all necessary repairs to such Parking Facility
(with the costs of such maintenance and repair to be included in Operating Costs (subject to the
limitations set forth in the definition of Operating Costs).

ARTICLE 23

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

     Section 23.1 Landlord hereby grants Tenant the right to lease, subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the remaining rentable area on the tenth (10th) floor
of the Building (the “First Refusal Space”) during the Term. If, during the Term of this Lease
Landlord reaches an agreement on the basic business terms of a lease (which Landlord is prepared to
accept) with a prospective tenant (the “Prospective Tenant”) to lease all or any portion of the
First Refusal Space, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (a “Refusal Notice”) setting
forth (i) the location of the First Refusal Space, (ii) the commencement date for the First Refusal
Space (the “Refusal Space Commencement Date”), (iii) the net rentable area of the First Refusal
Space, (iv) the rental rate of the First Refusal Space; (v) the term for the First Refusal Space;
and (vi) all other business and economic terms upon which Landlord is prepared to lease such
portion of the First Refusal Space to the Prospective Tenant.

     Section 23.2 Tenant’s right to lease the portion of the First Refusal Space described in the
Refusal Notice upon the terms and conditions set forth therein shall be exercisable by written
notice from Tenant to Landlord given not more than ten (10) Business Days after the giving of the
Refusal Notice, time being of the essence. If Tenant exercises its rights of first refusal with
respect to such portion of the First Refusal Space, such space shall be rented upon the terms and
conditions, and in the physical condition contemplated by the applicable Refusal Notice. Once
given, notice of exercise of such right shall be irrevocable. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord
in writing that it will lease the designated First Refusal Space within the prescribed ten (10)
Business Day period, Tenant’s rights under this Article as to such portion of the First Refusal

36

 

Space described in the Refusal Notice shall terminate, and Landlord shall have no further
obligation under this Article with respect to such portion of the First Refusal Space.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, Tenant’s rights of first
refusal pursuant to this Article 23 shall be reinstated if, following Tenant’s rejection of the
First Refusal Space, any of the following events occur: (i) the terms and conditions of the
business deal between Landlord and the Prospective Tenant materially change in a manner that is
substantially more favorably economically to the Prospective Tenant than as set forth in the
Refusal Notice; (ii) the Prospective Tenant and Landlord fail to enter into a lease pursuant to the
terms of the Refusal Notice; or (iii) Landlord leases the First Refusal Space and the term of the
lease for such space expires and Landlord again reaches an agreement on the basic business terms
for said space with such tenant or another prospective tenant. If the business deal between the
Landlord and the Prospective Tenant change as set forth in (i) above, Landlord shall offer the
space to Tenant pursuant to the terms of a new Refusal Notice setting forth the terms and
conditions of the new business deal between Landlord and the Prospective Tenant. In the event a
lease for the First Refusal Space is not executed between the Prospective Tenant and Landlord as
set forth in (ii) above, Landlord shall deliver a new Refusal Notice to Tenant at the time Landlord
reaches substantial agreement on the basic business terms for a lease with a new Prospective
Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant may not exercise its
right of first refusal described herein unless at least two (2) full Lease Years remain in the Term
as of the Refusal Space Commencement Date (or if two (2) full Lease Years do not remain in the
Term, Tenant may exercise its right of first refusal provided Tenant validly exercises its renewal
option set forth in Article 24 herein).

     Section 23.3 Tenant may only exercise its option to lease a portion of the First Refusal
Space, and an exercise thereof shall be only effective, if at the time of Tenant’s exercise of said
right, this Lease is in full force and effect and the entire Premises are occupied by the original
Tenant named herein or a Permitted Transferee and the Tenant has neither assigned this Lease nor
sublet all or any portion of the Premises (other than to a Permitted Transferee). Tenant’s rights
to exercise its right of first refusal granted pursuant to this Article 23 are also subject to the
condition that Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Lease at the time that Tenant delivers its written notice to Landlord of the exercise of any such
right, (provided the foregoing shall not affect or limit Landlord’s rights to enforce any defaults
of Tenant pursuant to Article 12 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the existence of any
such default shall, pursuant to the foregoing, make the exercise of such right ineffective, such
exercise shall nevertheless become effective as of the originally scheduled date if such default is
cured within the earlier of (i) any applicable cure or grace period specified in Article 12 hereof
or (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of notice of such default by Landlord to Tenant.

     Section 23.4 If Tenant has validly exercised its right to lease any First Refusal Space in
accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to this
Lease confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to such portion of the First
Refusal Space as determined in accordance herewith. In the event Landlord is unable to deliver to
Tenant possession of any portion of the First Refusal Space on or before the applicable Refusal
Space Commencement Date for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability
for such failure to deliver possession. Such failure to deliver possession shall not affect either
the validity of this Lease or the obligation of either Landlord or Tenant hereunder or be construed
to extend the expiration of the Term of this Lease either as to such portion of the

37

 

First Refusal Space or the balance of the Premises; provided, however, that under such
circumstances, Rent shall not commence as to the First Refusal Space until Landlord does so deliver
possession to Tenant. If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the First Refusal Space to Tenant
within one hundred eighty (180) days of the First Refusal Space Commencement Date (as set forth in
the Refusal Notice), Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease with respect to the First
Refusal Space upon the delivery of written notice to Landlord. Such notice shall be delivered to
Landlord within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) day period;
provided, however, if Landlord delivers the First Refusal Space to Tenant within said thirty (30)
day period the Lease for the First Refusal Space shall be reinstated and Tenant shall no longer
have a right to terminate as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its rights under this Article 23 are expressly
subordinate to (i) the existing rights to all or any portion of the First Refusal Space which are
set forth on Exhibit J attached hereto; and (ii) any renewal rights contained in any lease
for all or a portion of the First Refusal Space which is entered into with a Prospective Tenant
pursuant to the terms (in all material respects) of a Refusal Notice that Tenant has rejected.
Tenant acknowledges that its rights contained herein are subject to a renewing tenant of the First
Refusal Space exercising a renewal right contained in such tenant’s lease (provided such right is
set forth on Exhibit J or is contained in a lease entered into with a Prospective Tenant
pursuant to the terms (in all material respects) of a Refusal Notice that Tenant has rejected) even
if the actual terms of the renewal agreed to by such tenant and Landlord deviate from the exact
terms of the renewal or extension option set forth in such tenant’s lease.

     Section 23.5 In the event any portion of the First Refusal Space is leased to Tenant other
than pursuant to the right of first refusal described herein, such portion of the First Refusal
Space shall thereupon be deleted from the First Refusal Space.

ARTICLE 24

RENEWAL OPTION

     Section 24.1 Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant
an option to extend the Term of this Lease on the same terms, conditions and provisions contained
in this Lease, except for the rental rate as provided herein, for a period of five (5) years (the
“Renewal Period”). The Renewal Period shall commence on the day after the Expiration Date (the
“Renewal Period Commencement Date”) and end on the day before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the
Expiration Date. Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement of Rent during the Renewal Period.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not receive the abatement
of Rent described in Section 4.1 during the Renewal Period and Tenant shall not be entitled to any
free parking spaces (but shall be charged at Landlord’s then current rates for such spaces).

     Section 24.2 If Tenant wishes to exercise its option to renew as set forth herein, Tenant
shall send written notice to Landlord requesting Landlord’s determination of the rental rate for
the Renewal Period which notice shall be delivered to Landlord no later than fourteen (14) months
prior to the Renewal Period Commencement Date, time being of the essence. At least thirteen (13)
months prior to the Renewal Period Commencement Date, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing
(“Landlord’s Response”) of Landlord’s determination of the rental rate for the

38

 

Renewal Period (as determined pursuant to Section 23.4 below). At least twelve (12) months
prior to the Renewal Period Commencement Date, Tenant shall send written notice to Landlord
(“Tenant’s Renewal Notice”) either (i) exercising Tenant’s renewal option; or (ii) disputing
Landlord’s determination of the Market Rental Rate. If Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of
the Market Rental Rate Tenant shall set forth the amount which Tenant believes to be the Market
Rental Rate in Tenant’s Renewal Notice delivered to Landlord, and the provisions of Section 24.8
below shall govern. If Tenant elects to exercise its option to renew, then said exercise shall be
irrevocable. If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord’s Response as set forth herein, said option
shall thereupon expire and be of no further force or effect.

     Section 24.3 Tenant may only exercise its option, and an exercise thereof shall only be
effective, if at the time of Tenant’s exercise of the option and on the Renewal Period Commencement
Date, this Lease is in full force and effect and the entire Premises are occupied by the original
Tenant named herein or a Permitted Transferee and said Tenant has not assigned or sublet any
portion of the Premises to any other entity (other than to a Permitted Transferee). Tenant’s
rights to exercise its right to renew granted pursuant to this Article 24 are also subject to the
condition that no Event of Default exists under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Lease at the time that Tenant delivers its written notice to Landlord of the exercise of any such
right, (provided the foregoing shall not affect or limit Landlord’s rights to enforce any defaults
of Tenant pursuant to Article 12 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the existence of any
Event of Default shall, pursuant to the foregoing, make the exercise of such right ineffective,
such exercise shall nevertheless become effective as of the originally scheduled date if such Event
of Default is cured within the earlier of (i) any applicable cure or grace period specified in
Article 12 hereof or (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of notice of such Event of Default by
Landlord to Tenant.

     Section 24.4 Base Rent for the Premises payable during the Renewal Period with respect to all
space included in the Premises as of the Renewal Period Commencement Date shall be equal to the
Market Rental Rate.

     Section 24.5 If Tenant has validly exercised its option to renew, within thirty (30) days
after Tenant gives Landlord notice of the exercise of the option, Landlord and Tenant shall enter
into a written amendment to this Lease revising all of the rental provisions of this Lease as may
be necessary to conform such provisions to the determination of the rental rate set forth herein.

     Section 24.6 Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises on the Renewal Period Commencement
Date in “as-is” condition.

     Section 24.7 Tenant shall not have any option to extend the Term of this Lease beyond the
expiration of the Renewal Period.

     Section 24.8 If Tenant notifies Landlord that Landlord’s determination of the Market Rental
Rate is not acceptable to Tenant as set forth in Section 24.2 herein, then during the thirty (30)
day period after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of such objection (the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord
and Tenant shall attempt to agree on the Market Rental Rate. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to
agree on the Market Rental Rate within the Negotiation Period, Tenant, within five (5) Business
Days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, shall (i) accept Landlord’s

39

 

determination of Market Rental Rate; (ii) submit the determination to binding arbitration as
provided herein; or (iii) irrevocably withdraw its exercise of the renewal option. If Tenant
fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s election under the preceding sentence within five (5) Business
Days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted
Landlord’s determination of the Market Rental Rate. If Tenant elects to submit the determination
of the Market Rental Rate to arbitration then Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably exercised
its option to extend and Landlord and Tenant shall each select an arbitrator within fifteen (15)
days after such election by Tenant. If either Landlord or Tenant fail to timely appoint an
arbitrator, the arbitrator selected shall select the second (2nd) arbitrator, who shall be
impartial, within fifteen (15) days after such party’s failure to appoint. Each arbitrator must be
a qualified member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and have at least ten (10)
years experience in the suburban Chicago area in the leasing and valuation of comparable buildings.
The two arbitrators shall, within twenty (20) days of their appointment, select from the
determination of the Market Rental Rate submitted by Landlord in Landlord’s Response and the
determination of the Market Rental Rate submitted by Tenant in Tenant’s Renewal Notice the one that
is closer to the Market Rental Rate as determined by the arbitrators, and said selection shall
thereafter be deemed the Market Rental Rate. If the two arbitrators so appointed fail to agree as
to which of the determinations submitted by Landlord and Tenant is the closest to the actual Market
Rental Rate, the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator within twenty (20) days after the
failure of the initial arbitrators to agree on a Market Rental Rate, to decide upon which of the
two determinations submitted is the closest to the actual Market Rental Rate. The arbitrators
shall not be permitted to choose any results other than the determination presented by either
Landlord or Tenant. The fees and expenses of Landlord’s arbitrator shall be borne by Landlord and
the fees and expenses of Tenant’s arbitrator shall be borne by Tenant. If a third arbitrator is
required then Landlord and Tenant shall split the costs and expenses of the third arbitrator. The
arbitrators’ determination shall be final and binding on the parties. In the event that the Market
Rental Rate has not been determined by the arbitrators by the Renewal Period Commencement Date,
Tenant shall pay the Market Rental Rate as determined by Landlord until such time as the
arbitrators are able to agree on the Market Rental Rate. Upon such determination, the rental for
the Premises shall be retroactively adjusted. If such adjustment results in an underpayment of
Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within ten (10) days
after the determination thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by
Tenant, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent due under
the Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments until the entire amount of such
overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.

ARTICLE 25

CANCELLATION OPTION

     Section 25.1 Subject to the provisions set forth herein, Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease as of February 29, 2016 (the “Cancellation Date”). Tenant’s cancellation
option shall be exercisable by the delivery of a written notice (the “Cancellation Notice”) to
Landlord on or before November 30, 2014, time being of the essence. If Tenant fails to deliver the
Cancellation Notice to Landlord as required hereunder, Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to
have elected not to exercise Tenant’s cancellation option. Once given, notice of

40

 

exercise of Tenant’s cancellation option shall be irrevocable. Only the Tenant named in this
Lease or a Permitted Transferee may exercise the option to cancel set forth herein.

     Section 25.2 Tenant’s rights to exercise its right to cancel pursuant to this Article 25 are
subject to the condition that Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease at the time that Tenant delivers the Cancellation Notice to Landlord,
(provided the foregoing shall not affect or limit Landlord’s rights to enforce any defaults of
Tenant pursuant to Article 12 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the existence of any such
default shall, pursuant to the foregoing, make ineffective the exercise of such right, such
exercise shall nevertheless become effective as of the originally scheduled date if such default is
cured within the earlier of (i) any applicable cure or grace period specified in Article 12 hereof
or (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of notice of such default by Landlord to Tenant.

     Section 25.3 Tenant’s right to exercise Tenant’s cancellation option is made expressly subject
to the condition that, simultaneously with the delivery of the Cancellation Notice to Landlord,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one-half (1/2) of the Cancellation Fee. The “Cancellation Fee”
shall be equal to $4,063,868.16. If Tenant leases any additional space at the Building after the
date of this Lease, the Cancellation Fee shall also include (i) the amount of all Base Rent and
Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment payable to Landlord for such additional space for the two (2)
months immediately following the Cancellation Date, as determined by Landlord; and (ii) all
unamortized costs, as of the Cancellation Date, incurred by Landlord in connection with the leasing
such additional space to Tenant, including, without limitation, the costs incurred in connection
with leasing commissions, any leasehold improvements, free rent and any other concessions granted
to Tenant in connection with such additional space (such amounts shall be amortized by Landlord on
a straight-line basis over the Term of the Lease for the additional space at an interest rate of
ten percent (10%) per annum). Tenant shall deliver the remaining one-half (1/2) of the
Cancellation Fee to Landlord at least ninety (90) days prior to the Cancellation Date.

     Section 25.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and in addition to the
obligations to remove certain items at the expiration of the Term pursuant to and in accordance
with Section 9.4 and in Articles 26, 27 and 28, if Tenant exercises its cancellation option as
provided in this Article 25, Tenant shall also be required to remove all Specialty Alterations from
the Premises (including, but not limited to, the supplemental cooling system described in Article
27(ii), all elements of the key card access system described in Article 27(iv) and all bathrooms,
showers, locker rooms (and related fixtures) within and/or related to any fitness center located
within the Premises described in Article 27(iii)) on or before the Cancellation Date (whether any
of the foregoing are made as part of the Leasehold Improvements or made as part of any
Alterations); provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be required to remove any Specialty
Alterations that exist within the Premises as of the date of execution of this Lease.

cost and expense. Tenant shall remove Tenant’s signage from the Building façade and the elevator
lobby area at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and repair any and all damage
caused resulting therefrom. Tenant’s signage shall solely identify Tenant and shall not contain
any other advertising. Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole discretion, elect to maintain Tenant’s
elevator lobby signage and remove such signage at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term

inform Tenant the amount of the initial fee (if any) for the emergency generator at the time
Landlord approves the Plans therefore. Landlord may require Tenant to install fencing and/or
screening around the emergency generator. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term,
Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall remove the emergency generator (and any and all
piping and wiring related thereto), all bathrooms, showers and locker rooms (and related fixtures)

ARTICLE 29

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

     Section 29.1 Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right to lease, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, all space which is located on the seventh (7th) floor of the
Building (the “First Offer Space”) which is vacant and Available for Leasing (as such term is
defined herein) at any time during the initial Term. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, Tenant may not exercise its right of first offer described herein unless at least two
(2) full Lease Years remain in the Term as of the First Offer Space Commencement Date (as such term
is defined below) (or if two (2) full Lease Years do not remain in the Term, Tenant may exercise
its right of first offer provided Tenant effectively exercises its renewal option set forth in
Article 24 herein). Prior to leasing First Offer Space which becomes Available for Leasing,
Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of (i) the location of the First
Offer Space; (ii) the commencement date for the First Offer Space (the “First Offer Space
Commencement Date”); and (iii) the rental rate for the First Offer Space. Tenant’s right to lease
all, but not less than all, of the First Offer Space shall be exercisable by written notice from
Tenant to Landlord (“Tenant’s First Offer Notice”) given not later than ten (10) Business Days
after such Offer Notice is received by Tenant, time being of the essence. Once received, notice of
exercise of such right shall be irrevocable. If such right is not so exercised, Tenant’s right of
first offer shall thereupon terminate as to the First Offer Space, and Landlord may thereafter
lease and re-lease the First Offer Space without notice to Tenant and free of any right in Tenant.

     Section 29.2 Tenant may only exercise its option to lease a portion of the First Offer Space,
and an exercise thereof shall be only effective, if at the time of Tenant’s exercise of said right,
this Lease is in full force and effect and the entire Premises are occupied by the original Tenant
named herein or a Permitted Transferee and the Tenant has neither assigned this Lease nor sublet
all or any portion of the Premises (other than to a Permitted Transferee). Tenant’s rights to
exercise its right of first offer granted pursuant to this Article 29 are also subject to the
condition that Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Lease at the time that Tenant delivers its written notice to Landlord of the exercise of any such
right, (provided the foregoing shall not affect or limit Landlord’s rights to enforce any defaults
of Tenant pursuant to Article 12 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the existence of any
such default shall, pursuant to the foregoing, make the exercise of such right ineffective, such
exercise shall nevertheless become effective as of the originally scheduled date if such default is
cured within the earlier of (i) any applicable cure or grace period specified in Article 12 hereof
or (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of notice of such default by Landlord to Tenant.

44

 

     Section 29.3 If Tenant has validly exercised its right to lease the First Offer Space, then
effective as of the First Offer Space Commencement Date, the First Offer Space shall be deemed to
be included in the Premises, subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Lease,
except as may otherwise be provided as follows:

     A. The rental for the First Offer Space shall be as set forth in the Offer Notice.

     B. The term for the First Offer Space shall commence on the First Offer Space
Commencement Date and shall expire on the Expiration Date.

     C. The Rentable Area of the Premises shall be increased by the rentable area of the
First Offer Space.

     D. Tenant’s Share shall be proportionately increased.

     E. Unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall accept the First
Offer Space in its “as-is” condition.

     Section 29.4 If Tenant has validly exercised its right to lease the First Offer Space in
accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to this
Lease confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the First Offer Space as
determined in accordance herewith. If Landlord is unable to deliver to Tenant possession of the
First Offer Space on or before the First Offer Space Commencement Date for any reason whatsoever,
Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for such failure to deliver possession. Such
failure to deliver possession shall not affect either the validity of this Lease, or the
obligations of either Landlord or Tenant under this Lease, or be construed to extend the expiration
of the Term of this Lease either as to the First Offer Space or the balance of the Premises;
provided, however, that under such circumstances, Rent shall not commence as to the First Offer
Space until Landlord does so deliver possession to Tenant. If Landlord fails to deliver possession
of the First Offer Space to Tenant within one hundred eight (180) days of the First Offer Space
Commencement Date (as set forth in the Offer Notice), Tenant shall have the right to terminate the
Lease with respect to the First Offer Space upon the delivery of written notice to Landlord. Such
notice shall be delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the one hundred
eighty (180) day period; provided, however, if Landlord delivers the First Offer Space to Tenant
within said thirty (30) day period, the Lease for the First Offer Space shall be reinstated and
Tenant shall no longer have a right to terminate as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (i) its rights under this
Article 29 are expressly subordinate to any and all existing rights with respect to all or any
portion of the First Offer Space including, without limitation, any existing expansion rights,
extension rights and rights of first refusal or rights of first offer; (ii) its rights under this
Article 29 are expressly subordinate to any future rights of any existing or future tenants to
expand into all or any portion of the First Offer Space; and (iii) its right of first offer shall
not apply to any space which is being renewed or extended by any existing or future tenants at the
Building whether pursuant to any existing renewal or extension rights or otherwise.

prior to the date any Payment Blockage Notice is given may be used as a basis for any subsequent
Blockage Notice, unless such Series B Covenant Event of Default has been in the interim cured or
waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days and subsequently recurs. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, during any such blockage period described in this clause
(b) Series A Holders shall be entitled to (i) add accrued and unpaid interest under the Series A
Notes to principal on the Series A Notes, (ii) convert the principal of and accrued interest on the
Series A Notes into equity of Parent, if such conversion is made prior to the commencement of any
Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Note Party and (iii) receive Reorganization Securities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including any provision of
Section 2), any Series A Holder may satisfy all or any portion of its indemnification obligations
under Section 11.4 of the Merger Agreement by delivering to the Parent or any of its Affiliates one
or more Series A Notes owned by it (or any portion thereof) having an aggregate principal amount
equal to the amount of the indemnification payment required to be made by the Sellers’
Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement) under Section 11.4 of the Merger Agreement.

               (c) Without diminishing the foregoing prohibitions, in the event that any Note Party shall
make any payment to any Series A Holder in respect of Series A Claims not expressly authorized by
subsection (b) above, such payment shall be held in trust by such Series A Holder, for the benefit
of the Series B Holders, and shall be paid over immediately (without necessity of demand) to the
Series B Administrative Holder, for application in accordance with the Series B Note Documents to
the payment of Series B Claims until the same shall have been Paid in Full. In the event of the
failure of any Series A Holder to endorse any instrument for the payment of money so received by
such Series A Holder, the Series B Administrative Holder is irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact
for the Series A Holders with full power to make such endorsement and with full power of
substitution.

               (d) Subject to the prior Payment in Full of all Series B Claims, the Series A Holders shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of Series B Claims to receive payments or distributions of
cash, property or securities of the Issuer applicable to the Series B Claims until the Series A
Claims shall be Paid in Full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or
distributions to the Series B Holders by or on behalf of the Issuer or by or on behalf of the
Series A

7

 

Holders by virtue of this Section 2 which otherwise would have been made to the Series
A Holders shall, as between the Issuer and the Series A Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the
Issuer to or on account of the Series B Claims, it being understood that the provisions of this
Section 2 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of
the Series A Holders, on the one hand, and the Series B Holders, on the other hand. No Series B
Holder shall by virtue of this subrogation (i) owe any fiduciary or similar obligation to any
Series A Holder and (ii) be liable to such Series A Holders for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by the Series B Holders.

               (e) The provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights of
the Series A Holders on the one hand and the Series B Holders on the other hand with respect to the
enforcement of rights and remedies and priority of payment of the various obligations of the
Issuers and the other Note Parties to each of them. Nothing herein shall impair, as between the
Issuer and each Noteholder, the obligations of the Issuer, which are unconditional and absolute, to
pay to the Noteholder thereof the principal and interest on the Notes and any other liabilities
encompassed in the Claims, all in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the prior
Payment in Full of the Series B Claims as provided for herein.

               (f) Notwithstanding any Default or Event of Default in respect of the Series A Claims, until
the Series B Claims have been Paid in Full, no Series A Holder shall, without the prior written
consent of the Series B Administrative Holder, until the expiration of any applicable Standstill
Period: (1) accelerate all or any portion of the Series A Claims; (2) commence or join (unless the
Series B Holders shall also join) in any involuntary proceeding against Issuer or any other Note
Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt, arrangement of debt,
receivership, liquidation or insolvency law or statute of any federal or state government; or (3)
pursue any remedy or commence any action or proceeding against Issuer or any other Note Party to
enforce payment of all or any part of the Series A Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
restrictions in this clause (f) shall cease to apply upon (a) the commencement of any Insolvency
Proceeding, (b) the acceleration of the Series B Claims, (c) institution or commencement by the
Series B Administrative Holder or any holder of Series B Claims of any remedies against any Note
Party in respect of the Series B Claims to enforce payment of, or foreclose upon or exercise other
remedies with respect to Collateral or any deed or conveyance of any Collateral to any Series B
Creditor in lieu of foreclosure thereof, (d) the final maturity of the Series A Claims or the
Series B Claims, or (e) the date that all of the Series B Claims has been Paid in Full.

               (g) To the extent that any payment made on the Series B Claims is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or Federal law, common law or equitable
cause or otherwise, and whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise
(such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to the extent of such
Voided Payment that portion of the Series B Claims which had been previously satisfied by such
Voided Payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such Voided Payment had
never been made, and this Section 2 shall be reinstated with respect to such Voided
Payment.

               (h) Without the necessity of any reservation of rights against or any notice to or further
assent by any Series A Holder, (i) any demand for payment of any Series B Claims made by the Series
B Holders may be rescinded in whole or in part by the Series B Holders, (ii) the Series B Holders
may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights and/or remedies against any Note Party and
others, if any, liable under the Series B Claims, and (iii) the Series B Claims and any agreement
or instrument evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to the Series B Claims (including,
without limitation, the Series B Note Documents), or any collateral security therefor or guaranty
thereof or other right of any nature with respect thereto, may be amended, extended, modified,
continued, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Series B Holders in any
manner the Series B Holders deem in their

8

 

best interests, all without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting in any manner the
subordination of the Series A Claims to the Series B Claims provided for herein. Without limiting
the foregoing, each Series A Holder waives any and all notice of the creation, amendment,
restatement, extension, acceleration, compromise, continuation, waiver, surrender, release or
modification of any nature of the Series B Claims, or the Series B Note Documents, and notice of or
proof of reliance by any Series B Holder upon the subordination provided for herein.

          (i) All Series A Note Documents shall bear a legend disclosing the existence of this Agreement
in form and substance substantially similar to the following; provided that any such legend
shall be removed following the Repriority Event:

REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 21, 2007 (AS AMENDED,
RESTATED, SUPPLEMENTED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE “INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT”), AMONG TRIARC DEERFIELD HOLDINGS, LLC, JONATHAN W. TRUTTER, PAULA HORN AND THE
JOHN K. BRINCKERHOFF AND LAURA R. BRINCKERHOFF REVOCABLE TRUST, AS HOLDERS OF THE SERIES A
NOTES (AS DEFINED THEREIN), SACHS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC, SPENSYD ASSET MANAGEMENT LLLP AND
SCOTT A. ROBERTS, AS HOLDERS OF THE SERIES B NOTES (AS DEFINED THEREIN), TRIARC DEERFIELD
HOLDINGS, LLC, AS COLLATERAL AGENT, DEERFIELD & COMPANY LLC AND DEERFIELD CAPITAL CORP.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THIS INSTRUMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY
BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THIS INSTRUMENT, THE PROVISIONS OF
THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL CONTROL.

               (j) Any financing statements filed while this Section 2 is in effect shall be filed
for purposes of perfecting the Series B Liens before any financing statement is filed for purposes
of perfecting the Series A Liens.

          2.2 Lien Subordination.

          All Series A Liens now or hereafter existing with respect to any Collateral, including without
limitation judgment Liens, shall be subject, subordinate and junior in all respects and at all
times to the Series B Liens now or hereafter existing with respect to such Collateral. To the
extent the Claims are secured by a common Lien, the rights and interests of the Series A Holders in
respect of such Lien shall be deemed to be subject, subordinate and junior in all respect to the
rights of the Series B Holders in respect of such Lien.

          2.3 Enforcement Rights.

               (a) Each Series A Holder agrees that until all Series B Claims have been Paid in Full, (i) it
will not take any Enforcement Action with respect to any Collateral; and (ii) subject to the terms
of this Agreement, Series B Administrative Holder may, at its option at any time while an Event of
Default exists under the Series B Note Documents, take any Enforcement Action and exercise any
right or remedy it deems appropriate in connection therewith with respect to the Collateral. Until
the Series B Claims are Paid in Full, Series B Administrative Holder shall have the exclusive right
to instruct the Collateral Agent in respect of any remedies to be taken in respect of Collateral.
However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the Series B Administrative
Holder has not instructed the Collateral Agent to initiate Enforcement Action with respect to a
substantial portion of the

9

 

Collateral, the Series A Administrative Holder may deliver written notice to the Series B
Administrative Holder requesting that such Enforcement Action be taken and, if Series B
Administrative Holder has not instructed the Collateral Agent to initiate Enforcement Action with
respect to a substantial portion of the Collateral within 180 days after receipt of such notice,
then Series A Administrative Holder may so instruct the Collateral Agent, provided, however, that
if Series A Administrative Holder subsequently pursues Enforcement Actions with respect to a
substantial portion of the Collateral, Series A Administrative Holder shall cease any Enforcement
Action then pending and shall not pursue further Enforcement Action.

               (b) Series A Administrative Holder, on behalf of itself and the other Series A Holders, agrees
that it shall take such actions (at the sole cost and expense of Issuer) as Series B Administrative
Holder shall request in connection with the exercise by Series B Holders of its rights set forth
herein.

               (c) Except as provided in subsections (d) and (e) hereof, if any Holder shall enforce its
rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be entitled to use
such violation as a defense to any action by any Holder, nor to assert such violation as a
counterclaim or basis for set-off or recoupment against any Holder.

               (d) If any Series A Holder, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any
Enforcement Action against the Collateral, Note Parties, with the prior written consent of Series B
Administrative Holder, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement,
and any Series B Holder may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in
the name of Issuer.

               (e) Should any Series A Holder, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, or attempt to or
threaten to take any action with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any
attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any
action required by this Agreement, any Series B Holder (in its or their own name or in the name of
Issuer) or Issuer may obtain relief against such Series A Holder by injunction, specific
performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by Series A
Administrative Holder on behalf of each Series A Holder that (A) Series B Holders’ damages from its
actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (B) each Series A
Holder waives any defense that Issuer and/or Series B Holders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be
made whole by the awarding of damages.

        2.4  Standstill and Waivers. Each Series A Holder agrees that until the Series B Claims are
Paid in Full:

               (a) it will not oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by
judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding) or
otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral
by Series B Administrative Holder or any other Series B Holder or any other Enforcement Action
taken by or on behalf of Series B Administrative Holder or any other Series B Holder (provided,
however, that the foregoing will prohibit Series A Holders from enforcing restrictions on asset
sales set forth in the Series A Note Documents only if (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Series B Note Documents or (ii) such restrictions were added after the date
hereof without either the consent of Series B Administrative Holder or the addition of the same
restriction in the Series B Note Documents);

               (b) except as provided in Section 2.3(a), it has no right to (i) direct Collateral
Agent to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Collateral or any Series A Note
Document, (ii) consent or object to the exercise by Series B Administrative Holder or any other
Series B

10

 

Holder of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Series
B Note Documents or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised
(or, to the extent it may have any such right described in this clause (c), whether as a junior
lien creditor or otherwise, it hereby irrevocably waives such right);

               (c) it will not commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek
to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any
action to take possession of any Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to,
or otherwise take any action to enforce its interest in or realize upon, the Collateral or pursuant
to the Series A Note Documents; and

               (d) except as provided in Section 2.3(a), it will not take any other Enforcement
Actions against Collateral under the Series A Note Documents.

               (e) Nothing in the foregoing shall prohibit Series A Holders from (i) bidding for or
purchasing Collateral at a foreclosure sale or in any private sale process, (ii) joining in any
foreclosure proceeding for the purpose of protecting its Liens or (iii) receiving proceeds of
Collateral pursuant to Section 2.6.

          2.5 Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

               (a) In the event of an Insolvency Proceeding, the Series B Holders shall be entitled in any
such proceeding to receive Payment in Full, of all Series B Claims before any Series A Holder is
entitled in such proceeding to receive any payment on account of the Series A Claims owed to such
Series A Holder, and to that end in any such proceeding, so long as any Series B Claim remains
outstanding, any payment or distribution of any kind or character (other than any Reorganization
Securities) whether in cash or in other property, to which any Series A Holder would be entitled
but for the provisions hereof, shall be delivered to the Series B Administrative Holder for
distribution to the Series B Holders to the extent necessary to make Payment in Full, of all Series
B Claims remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the
holders of Series B Claims.

               (b) Upon the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Issuer or any other Note
Party, Series A Holder shall be deemed, in order to effectuate the subordination set forth above,
to have granted to the Series B Administrative Holder, as agent for the Series B Holders, as of the
date of the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding the right, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, to collect all payments and distributions of any kind and description, whether in cash
or other property, paid or payable in respect of any claims or demands of Series A Holder against
Issuer or any other Note Party arising from the Series A Claims until the Payment in Full of all
Series B Claims. Upon the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, each Series A Holder shall
also be deemed to have granted to the Series B Administrative Holder, as agent for the Series B
Holders, the full right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms of this Agreement, in its
own name or in its name as attorney in fact for such Series A Holder, to collect and enforce said
claims and demands of such Series A Holder by suit or otherwise (except for any proof of claim) in
any Insolvency Proceeding.

               (c) Until the Series B Claims are Paid in Full, each Series A Holder agrees that it shall not,
in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any
position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in
each case in respect of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the
determination of any Liens or claims held by Series B Administrative Holder (including the validity
and enforceability thereof) or any other Series B Holder or the value of any claims of such parties
under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that (i) Series A Administrative
Holder may defend against any

11

 

action in a bankruptcy to avoid its Lien on the Collateral, (ii) Series A Holders shall be
entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion,
claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking
the disallowance of the claims of Series A Holders, including without limitation any claims secured
by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii)
Series A Holders shall be entitled to file any proof of claim and other filings and make any
arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with
respect to the Series A Claims and the Collateral.

               (d) Until the Series B Claims are Paid in Full, if any Note Party becomes subject to any
Insolvency Proceeding, and if Series B Administrative Holder or Series B Holders desire to consent
(or not object) to the use of cash collateral on which Series B Holders or any other creditor has a
Lien or to provide financing to any Note Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not
object) to the provision of such financing to any Note Party by any Person (“DIP Financing”), then
Series A Holders agree that they (i) will be deemed to have consented to, and will raise no
objection to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (ii) will not request or
accept any form of adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash
collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in subsection (f) below, and (iii) to the
extent the Liens in favor of Series B Holders are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP
Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Liens in favor
of Series A Holders (x) to such DIP Financing with the same terms and conditions as the Liens in
favor of Series B Holders are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any
manner the terms of this Agreement), (y) to any adequate protection provided to Series B Holders
and (z) to any “carve-out” for administrative, professional and United States Trustee fees agreed
to by Series B Administrative Holder or Series B Holders; provided, however, that
(A) subject to any such “carve” out under the foregoing clause (z), the Series A Holders retain a
Lien on the Collateral (including proceeds thereof-arising after the commencement of such
proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the
Bankruptcy Code (junior in priority to the Liens securing such DIP Financing as described above),
(B) the Series A Holders receive (without objection from the Series B Holders) a replacement Lien
on post-petition assets in which the Series B Holders have a replacement Lien securing the Series B
Claims, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the
Bankruptcy Code (junior in priority to the Liens securing such DIP Financing, provided that the
inability of the Series A Holders to receive a Lien on actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy
Code and proceeds thereof shall not affect the agreements and waivers set forth in this clause
(d)), and (C) the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing together with the principal
amount of the Series B Claims does not exceed the Maximum First Lien Principal Amount. Nothing in
this paragraph will restrict the Series A Holders from raising any objection to the terms of the
DIP Financing that could be raised by an unsecured creditor.

               (e) Series A Holders agree that until the Series B Claims are Paid in Full, they will not seek
relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any
action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Collateral, without the prior written
consent of Series B Administrative Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed,
conditioned or withheld).

               (f) Series A Holders agree that until the Series B Claims are Paid in Full, they shall not
object to, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (i) any request by
Series B Administrative Holder or any other Series B Holder for adequate protection, (ii) any
objection by Series B Administrative Holder or any other Series B Holder to any motion, relief,
action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of
interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to Series B Administrative Holder or any other Series B
Holder under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 2, in any Insolvency Proceeding, (x) Series A Holders
may seek, support, accept or retain adequate protection (A)

12

 

only if Series B Holders are granted adequate protection that includes replacement Liens on
additional collateral and superpriority claims and (B) solely in the form of (1) a replacement Lien
on such additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens in favor of Series B Holders and such DIP
Financing on the same basis as the other Liens in favor of Series A Holders are so subordinated to
the Series B Claims under this Agreement subject to the “carve-out” in Section
2.5(d)(iii)(z) above and (2) solely to the extent that the Collateral pledged to secure the
Series A Claims has been diminished in connection with such Insolvency Proceeding, superpriority
claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to Series B Holders, and (y) in
the event Series A Administrative Holder receives adequate protection, including in the form of
additional collateral, then Series A Holders agree that Series B Administrative Holder shall have a
senior Lien and claim on such adequate protection as security for the Series B Claims and that any
Lien on any additional collateral securing the Series A Claims shall be subordinated to the Liens
on such collateral securing the Series B Claims and any other Liens granted to Series B Holders as
adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing
the Series A Claims are subordinated to such Series B Claims under this Agreement.

               (g) Neither Series A Administrative Holder nor any other Series A Holder shall, in an
Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any assets of any Note Party
that is supported by Series B Holders, and Series A Administrative Holder and each other Series A
Holder will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to
any sale supported by Series B Holders and to have released its Liens in such assets upon the
consummation of such sale so long as the net proceeds thereof are used to pay down the Series B
Claims.

               (h) Series A Administrative Holder and each other Series A Holder acknowledges and agrees that
(i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Series B Note Documents and the Series A Note Documents
constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their
differing rights in the Collateral, the Series A Claims are fundamentally different from the Series
B Claims and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an
Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of Series B Holders and Series A
Holders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate
classes of senior and junior secured claims), then Series A Holders hereby acknowledge and agree
that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured
claims against Note Parties in respect of the Collateral with the effect being that, to the extent
that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held
by Series A Holders), Series B Holders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts
distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts
owing in respect of post-petition interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims
held by Series A Administrative Holder or any other Series A Holder, with Series A Administrative
Holder and each other Series A Holder hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to Series B
Holders amounts otherwise received or receivable by it to the extent necessary to effectuate the
intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of
Series A Holders.

               (i) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit Series B Administrative Holder
or any other Series B Holder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action
taken by Series A Administrative Holder or any other Series A Holder, including the seeking by
Series A Administrative Holder or any other Series A Holder of adequate protection or the asserting
by Series A Administrative Holder or any other Series A Holder of any of its rights and remedies
under the Series A Note Documents or otherwise.

               (j) To the extent that Series A Administrative Holder or any other Series A Holder has or
acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to

13

 

any of the Collateral, Series A Administrative Holder and each other Series A Holder agrees
not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of Series B Administrative
Holder; provided that if requested by Series B Administrative Holder, Series A
Administrative Holder shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by Series B
Administrative Holder, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

               (k) Each Series A Holder hereby waives any right to charge, or encourage or request any party
to charge, the Collateral pursuant to Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Series A Holder
will not challenge or oppose, join with any party challenging or opposing or encourage any party to
oppose or challenge or take any action whatsoever to impair the exercise by the Series B Holders of
the rights and remedies granted to the Series B Holders in the Series B Note Documents.

               (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in an Insolvency Proceeding,
Series A Holders may raise any objection or take any other action that could otherwise be raised or
taken by an unsecured creditor.

          2.6 Distributions of Payments and Proceeds of Collateral.

     All amounts received by Collateral Agent or any Noteholder in respect of any Claims during the
continuation of any Event of Default under any of the Note Documents (other than Reorganization
Securities received by the Series A Holders in accordance with Section 2 hereof), and all
realizations upon the Collateral or any part thereof (whether occurring before or after the
commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code and including realizations resulting from sales by
a Note Party under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), including, without limitation, any
realizations by way of an Enforcement Action, shall be applied as follows:

               (i) First, to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses of
sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable legal expenses,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection
therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to
indemnification hereunder;

               (ii) Second, to Series B Administrative Holder’s costs and expenses of
sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable legal expenses,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by Series B Administrative Holder in
connection therewith, and all amounts for which Series B Administrative Holder is
entitled to indemnification under the Series B Note Documents;

               (iii) Third, to the Series B Claims until the Series B Claims are Paid
in Full in accordance with the Series B Note Documents;

               (iv) Fourth, to Series A Administrative Holder’s costs and expenses of
sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable legal expenses,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by Series A Administrative Holder in
connection therewith, and all amounts for which Series A Administrative Holder is
entitled to indemnification under the Series A Note Documents;

               (v) Fifth, to the Series A Claims until the Series A Claims are Paid in
Full in accordance with the Series A Note Documents; and

               (vi) Sixth, to the parties entitled thereto as their interests may
appear or as otherwise required by applicable law.

14

 

          2.7 Releases of Security Interests. While any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under the Series B Note Documents:

          (a) Series A Holders will cooperate and provide any necessary or appropriate releases with
respect to the Collateral to permit an Enforcement Action by Series B Administrative Holder, free
and clear of Series A Holders’ Lien.

          (b) In the event of a sale or other disposition of Collateral by a Note Party in accordance
with the terms of the Series B Note Documents or, if required under the Series B Note Documents,
with the consent of Series B Holders, if such Series B Holders are releasing their first priority
Lien in connection therewith, the Lien of Series A Holders on such Collateral automatically shall
be released and discharged to the extent the Lien of Series B Holders on such Collateral is
released and discharged, and Series A Administrative Holder shall promptly execute and deliver any
releases or other documents requested by Series B Administrative Holder to evidence such release
and discharge; provided that the Liens of Secured Parties in such Collateral shall attach
to the Proceeds of such sale or other disposition, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be
otherwise applicable to such Proceeds (including any provisions with respect to priority of Liens
in such Proceeds, or application thereof to the Claims of Secured Parties).

          (c) Until the Series B Claims are Paid in Full, Series A Administrative Holder, for itself and
on behalf of Series A Holders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Series B Administrative
Holder and any officer or agent of Series B Administrative Holder, with full power of substitution,
as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of Series A Administrative Holder or such holder or in Series B Administrative Holder’s own
name, from time to time in Series B Administrative Holder’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying
out the terms of this Section 2.7, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute
any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 2.7, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

          (d) In connection with any Enforcement Action, Series A Holders agree that Series B Holders
may release or refrain from enforcing Series A Holders’ Lien in the Collateral, or permit the use
or consumption of such Collateral by a Note Party free of such Series A Holders’ Lien, in each case
to the same extent that Series B Holders release, refrain from enforcing or permit the use or
consumption of such Collateral by a Note Party free of their own Lien, without incurring any
liability to Series A Holders.

          2.8 Waiver of Right to Require Marshaling. Each Series A Holder expressly waives any right
that it otherwise might have to require any Series B Holder to marshal assets or to resort to
Collateral in any particular order or manner, whether provided for by common law or statute. No
Series B Holder shall be required to enforce any guaranty or any Lien given by any Person as a
condition precedent or concurrent to the taking of any Enforcement Action.

          2.9 Series A Holders Option to Purchase Series B Notes.

               (a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies, the Series B Holders agree that upon and
during the continuation of a Purchase Event (as defined below), one or more of the Series A Holders
may request, and the Series B Holders hereby offer the Series A Holders the option, to purchase
all, but not less than all, of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Series B Claims
(other than unmatured contingent obligations) at the time of purchase at par and accrued and unpaid
interest, fees and expense reimbursement claims, without warranty or representation or recourse
(except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the
Assignment

15

 

and Assumption (as such term is defined in the Series B Note Documents)) and to assume all
other obligations of the Series B Holders pursuant to the Series B Note Documents and this
Agreement (including, without limitation, obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement).
If such right is exercised, the exercising party shall give written notice of such exercise to the
Series B Holders, and upon receipt of such notice the Series B Holders shall be obligated to sell
the Series B Claims as contemplated hereby and the parties shall endeavor to close promptly
thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Days of delivery of an exercise notice. A Purchase
Event shall exist (a) following the acceleration of the maturity of any Notes until the rescission
or annulment of such acceleration pursuant to applicable Note Documents, (b) upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default under any Note Document; (c) upon the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding;
(d) taking of any Enforcement Actions by or at the instruction of any Series B Holder, and (e) the
onset of any Standstill Period (each, a “Purchase Event”). The foregoing notwithstanding, a
Purchase Event and the purchase right granted under this Section 2.9 shall cease to exist
thirty (30) days after the initial occurrence of such Purchase Event. If one or more of the Series
A Holders exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually
acceptable to such Series A Holders and Required Series B Holders. If none of the Series A Holders
exercise such right during such Purchase Event, the Series B Holders shall have no further
obligations pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) in respect of such Purchase Event. In any
event, prior to the closing of any sale of Series B Claims hereunder, Series B Holders may take any
actions in their sole discretion in respect of their rights under the Series B Note Documents,
without regard to the Series A Holders’ rights hereunder, provided, however, that during the
ten-day period after one or more Series A Holders has given notice exercising its purchase option
hereunder, Series B Holders will not take any Enforcement Action or waive or release any Lien
unless, in the good faith determination of the Series B Administrative Holder, delay of the
Enforcement Action would have a reasonable likelihood of causing a diminution in the value of the
Collateral or a waiver or forfeiture of rights in respect of Liens, it being further understood
nothing in this sentence will prohibit the receipt and application of Proceeds of Collateral and
other payments in accordance with Section 2.6.

               (b) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies, the Series B Holders agree that at any
time on or before June 30, 2008, one or more of the Series A Holders may request, and each Series B
Holders hereby offers the Series A Holders the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of
the aggregate principal amount of its respective Repriority Claims at par and accrued and unpaid
interest, without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties
required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption (as such term is
defined in the Series B Note Documents)). If such right is exercised, the exercising party shall
give written notice of such exercise to the Series B Holders, and upon receipt of such notice the
Series B Holders identified in such notice shall be obligated to sell the Repriority Claims
identified in such notice as contemplated hereby and the parties shall endeavor to close the
corresponding Repriority Claims Purchase Event promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10)
Days of delivery of an exercise notice. If one or more of the Series A Holders exercise such
purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to such Series
A Holders and Required Series B Holders. If none of the Series A Holders exercise such right by
June 30, 2008, the Series B Holders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section
2.9(b) in respect of such Repriority Claims Purchase Event. In any event, prior to the closing
of any sale of Repriority Claims hereunder, Series B Holders may take any actions in their sole
discretion in respect of their rights under the Series B Note Documents, without regard to the
Series A Holders’ rights hereunder, provided, however, that during the ten-day period after one or
more Series A Holders has given notice exercising its purchase option hereunder, Series B Holders
will not take any Enforcement Action or waive or release any Lien unless, in the good faith
determination of the Series B Administrative Holder, delay of the Enforcement Action would have a
reasonable likelihood of causing a diminution in the value of the Collateral or a waiver or
forfeiture of rights in respect of Liens, it being further understood nothing in this sentence will
prohibit the receipt and application of Proceeds of Collateral and other payments in accordance
with Section 2.6.

16

 

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no purchase of Sachs Repriority
Claims may be made under this paragraph unless all Sachs Repriority Claims are purchased hereunder.

          2.10 Further Assurances.

               The Series A Holders and Series A Administrative Holder shall cooperate in all respects with
the Series B Holder and Series B Administrative Holder, and take all action reasonably requested by
the Series B Holders and Series B Administrative Holder to effectuate this Section 2.

          2.11 Restriction on Amendments. The Noteholders shall not, without the consent of the
requisite voting majority of the Series A Holders under the Series A Note Documents and the
requisite voting majority of the Series B Holders under the Series B Note Documents, amend or
modify Note Documents to:

               (a) shorten the final maturity of, or require any scheduled payment of, principal or require
additional mandatory payments of principal (but nothing in this paragraph restricts acceleration of
obligations as a remedy for default);

               (b) increase interest rates (except by application of default interest provided for in the
Note Documents as in effect on the date hereof);

               (c) add a covenant or an Event of Default that would directly restrict one or more Note
Parties from making payments under the Note Documents which would otherwise be permitted under the
Note Documents as in effect on the date hereof;

               (d) add any new Event of Default or covenant under the Note Documents, or make any Event of
Default or covenant more restrictive.

     SECTION 3. Repriority Event. If the Repriority Event occurs on or before June 30, 2008, then
Section 2 shall immediately cease to apply and this Section 3 shall immediately
commence to apply. Conversely, the terms of this Section 3 shall not apply prior to the
Repriority Event, and if the Repriority Event has not occurred on or prior to June 30, 2008, then
Section 2 shall continue to apply after such date, regardless of any amounts subsequently
received by Series B Holders, and this Section 3 shall be deemed terminated and of no
further force or effect. The parties hereto agree that the following terms shall apply in the
event this Section 3 applies in accordance with the foregoing:

          3.1 Pari Passu Status. The Claims shall be deemed to be pari passu and equal in right of
payment, and all Liens securing the Claims shall be deemed to be equal in priority, and shall be
deemed to equally and ratably secure all Claims, notwithstanding the time or order of filing of any
financing statements or any other action taken in respect of attachment or perfection of any Liens.

          3.2 Allocation of Payments.

     Except for the payments described in the definition of the term “Repriority Event” resulting
in the application of this Section 3, all payments of principal and interest in respect of
Notes shall be made ratably to the Noteholders in proportion to each Noteholder’s Pro Rata Share.
Expense reimbursements and indemnification payments may be received and retained by the parties
entitled thereto under the Note Documents. Any payment received by a Noteholder in violation of
the first sentence of this Section 3.2 shall be received in trust for the benefit of all
Noteholders, and shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the Noteholders in
accordance with parts “Third” and “Fourth” of Section 3.3.

17

 

          3.3 Distributions of Payments and Proceeds of Collateral.

     All amounts received by Collateral Agent or any Noteholder in respect of any Claims after an
Event of Default in respect of any Note Document, and all realizations upon the Collateral or any
part thereof (whether occurring before or after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy
Code and including realizations resulting from sales by a Note Party under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code), including, without limitation, any realizations by way of an Enforcement Action,
shall be applied as follows:

               (i) First, to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses of
sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable legal expenses,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection
therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to
indemnification hereunder;

               (ii) Second, to Series B Administrative Holder’s and Series A
Administrative Holder’s costs and expenses of sale, collection or other realization,
including reasonable legal expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by
Series B Administrative Holder or Series A Administrative Holder in connection
therewith, and all amounts for which Series B Administrative Holder or Series A
Administrative Holder is entitled to indemnification under the Note Documents (it
being agreed that to the extent amounts available for distribution under this clause
are insufficient to cover all such amounts, such amounts shall be paid ratably in
proportion to the amounts so tendered for payment by the Series B Administrative
Holder and Series A Administrative Holder, respectively);

               (iii) Third, to the pro rata payment of interest accrued in respect of
all Claims;

               (iv) Fourth, to the pro rata payment of all other Claims until all
Claims are Paid in Full in accordance with the Note Documents; and

               (v) Fifth, to the parties entitled thereto as their interests may
appear or as otherwise required by applicable law.

          3.4 Amendment and Waiver of Note Documents.

          (a) Any amendment to or waiver of the terms of any of the Note Documents (other than this
Agreement) shall require the consent of Required Noteholders, and any such amendment or waiver to
which Required Noteholders and the Issuer have given their written consent shall be binding on the
Noteholders as if the same had consented thereto and any such amendment, waiver or consent shall
apply automatically to any comparable provision of any other Note Document automatically, without
the consent of the parties thereto and without any other action of any other Person,
provided that without the written consent of each Noteholder affected thereby, no such
amendment, waiver or consent shall:

               (i) postpone any date fixed by any Note Document for any payment of the
principal amount or interest due to the Noteholders (or any of them);

               (ii) reduce the principal or principal amount of, or the rate of interest
specified herein on, any Note, or any other amounts payable under any other Note
Document; provided that only the consent of the Required Noteholders shall
be necessary

18

 

to amend the definition of “Default Rate” set forth in any Note
Document or to waive any obligation of the Issuer to pay interest at the Default
Rate;

               (iii) change Section 2.07 of either of the Note Purchase Agreements in
a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby;

               (iv) change Section 9.01 of either of the Note Purchase Agreements or
the definition of “Required Holders” set forth therein or any other
provision thereof specifying the number, identity or percentage of Noteholders party
thereto required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights thereunder or make
any determination or grant any consent thereunder;

               (v) release all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Claims or
release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the
Note Documents;

               (vi) alter any provisions, or waive any payment, with respect to any prepayment
or redemption of the Notes, including providing for any such prepayment or
redemption on any basis other than pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount
of Notes outstanding;

               (vii) waive a Default or an Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or
interest or premium, if any, under, and in each case defined in, the respective Note
Purchase Agreements;

               (viii) make any Claim payable in any currency other than U.S. Dollars;

               (ix) impair the right of any Noteholder to institute suit for the enforcement
of any payment on or with respect to the Notes; or

               (x) except as expressly permitted in the Note Documents, consent to the
assignment or transfer by any Note Party of any of their rights or obligations under
this Agreement or any other Note Document.

          (b) Any amendment or supplement to any Note Document which has been consented to by any Note
Party and which is beneficial to the Noteholders party thereto shall be deemed to apply for the
equal and ratable benefit of all other Noteholders with respect to Note Documents to which they are
party. Any Noteholder may waive the benefit of this subsection (b) to the extent such waiver would
not conflict with to subsection (a) above.

          3.5 Acceleration of Notes.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Note Document, except in the case of automatic
acceleration upon an Insolvency Proceeding (or similar event), no election by any Noteholder or
group thereof to declare the principal amount outstanding under any Notes due prior to its stated
maturity or to become subject to a mandatory offer to purchase by a Note Party, shall be effective
unless approved by Required Noteholders.

19

 

          3.6 Further Assurances.

     The Series B Holders and Series B Administrative Holder shall cooperate in all respects with
the Series A Holder and Series A Administrative Holder, and take all action reasonably requested by
the Series A Holders and Series A Administrative Holder to or effectuate this Section 3.

     SECTION 4. Appointment of Collateral Agent.

          4.1 Appointment and Authorization of Collateral
Agent.

     Each Noteholder hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Collateral Agent to
take such action as contractual representative on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and each Collateral Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein or in any other Note Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Agent
have or be deemed to have any trustee or fiduciary relationship with any Noteholder or participant,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be
read into this Agreement or any other Note Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral
Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent”
herein and in the other Note Documents with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of
any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is
intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties. The provisions of this Section 4 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and
the Noteholders and no Note Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall
act solely as an agent of the Noteholders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Note Party.

          4.2 General Immunity.

               (a) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Noteholder for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency hereof or any
other Note Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or
therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements,
instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Noteholders or
by or on behalf of any Note Party in connection with the Note Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Note Party or any
other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required
to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Note Documents or as to the use of the
proceeds of the Notes or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or
Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, Collateral Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations
of the outstanding amount of the Notes.

               (b) Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees,
agents or affiliates shall be liable to Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by the
Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the Note Documents except to the extent caused
by the Collateral Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of
this Agreement or any Note Document. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any
act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or
any of the other

20

 

Note Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it
hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received instructions in
respect thereof from the Series B Administrative Holder (if Section 2 applies) or the
Required Noteholders (if Section 3 applies) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the
Series B Administrative Holder (if Section 2 applies) or the Required Noteholders (if
Section 3 applies) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed)
refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall
be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or
document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper
Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and
judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Issuer and/or other Note Parties), accountants,
experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Noteholder shall have any right
of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of its acting or (where so
instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Note Documents in accordance with
the instructions of the Series B Administrative Holder (if Section 2 applies) or the
Required Noteholders (if Section 3 applies).

               (c) The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers under this Agreement or under any other Note Document by or through any one or more
sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective
Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Agreement (including
Section 4.2(b)) shall apply to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent. All of the rights,
benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this
Section 4.2 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent,
and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates
were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent
appointed by Collateral Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this
Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights
and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party
beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and
privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the
consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Note Parties and the Noteholders,
(ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to
indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii)
such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Collateral Agent and not to any Note Party,
Noteholder or any other Person and no Note Party, Noteholder or any other Person shall have any
rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

          4.3 Collateral Matters.

     The Noteholders irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its
discretion:

               (a) to take any action with respect to the Collateral which may be necessary to perfect and
maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Note Documents;

               (b) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any
Note Document (i) upon termination of the Payment in Full of all Obligations, (ii) that is sold or
to be sold as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under each of the Note
Purchase Agreements, (iii) in accordance with any provision for the release thereof provided for in
the Note Documents or this Agreement, (iv) pursuant to the instructions of the Series B
Administrative

21

 

Holder in accordance with Section 2.7 of this Agreement (so long as such provision
applies) in connection with any Enforcement Action, or (v) subject to Section 3.4(a)(v)
hereof and Section 9.01 of each of the Note Purchase Agreements, and so long as
Section 3 applies, if so requested (or consented to) by the Required Noteholders;

               (c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under
any Note Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section
6.02 of each of the Note Purchase Agreements;

               (d) to take any action to permit any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral
Agent under any Note Document to be equal in priority with the Liens securing the Claims to the
extent permitted by Section 6.02 of each of the Note Purchase Agreements; and

               (e) following any such release or subordination described in the preceding clauses (b) and
(c), to deliver to the Issuer or any other Person, at its expense, any Collateral so released that
is then held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and to execute and deliver to the Issuer or any
other Person such releases or other documents as the Issuer or such Person shall request to
evidence or effectuate such release or subordination of Liens (including UCC termination
statements, intercreditor agreements and collateral agency agreements).

               (f) Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Series B Administrative Holder (if
Section 2 applies) or the Required Noteholders (if Section 3 applies) will confirm
in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property pursuant to this Section 4.3.

     4.4 Duties in the Case of Enforcement.

     In case one of more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, the Collateral
Agent shall, if (a) so requested (or consented to) by the Series B Administrative Holder (if
Section 2 applies) or the Required Noteholders (if Section 3 applies) and (b) the
Noteholders have provided to the Collateral Agent such additional indemnities and assurances
against expenses and liabilities as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce
the provisions of any Note Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part
of the Collateral (or any other property which is security for the Obligations) and exercise all or
any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have in respect of such
Collateral (or such other property). The Series B Administrative Holder (if Section 2
applies) or the Required Noteholders (if Section 3 applies) may direct the Collateral
Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such sale or other disposition to the
extent permitted under the terms hereof, the Noteholders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the
Collateral Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted
in accordance with such directions, provided that the Collateral Agent need not comply with any
such direction to the extent that the Collateral Agent reasonably believes the Collateral Agent’s
compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable
jurisdiction.

     4.5 Right to Indemnity.

     Each Noteholder, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share at the time any claim therefor is made,
severally agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent, to the extent that Collateral Agent shall not have
been reimbursed by any Note Party (but without limiting any Note Party’s reimbursement
obligations), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against Collateral Agent in exercising its

22

 

powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Note
Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or the other Note Documents; provided, no Noteholder shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or any Note Document. If any indemnity furnished to
Collateral Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Collateral Agent, be insufficient or
become impaired, Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to
do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event
shall this sentence require any Noteholder to indemnify Collateral Agent against any liability,
obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess
of such Noteholder’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided, further, this sentence
shall not be deemed to require any Noteholder to indemnify Collateral Agent against any liability,
obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described
in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

          4.6 Instruction of Collateral Agent.

          (a) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall, at the
request of the Series B Administrative Holder (if Section 2 applies) or the Required
Noteholders (if Section 3 applies), take any or all of the following actions:

               (i) exercise on behalf of itself and the Noteholders all rights and remedies
available to it and the Noteholders under the Collateral Documents or applicable
law, which shall include the rights, powers and remedies (i) granted to secured
parties under the UCC or other applicable Uniform Commercial Code; or (ii) granted
to the Collateral Agent under any other applicable Law any other agreement between
any Note Party and the Collateral Agent;

               (ii) All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and not
alternative and enforceable, in Collateral Agent’s or the discretion of the Series B
Administrative Holder (if Section 2 applies) or the Required Noteholders (if
Section 3 applies), alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one
or more occasions, and shall include the right to apply to a court of equity for an
injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Note Party of this
Agreement or any of the Note Documents. Any single or partial exercise of, or
forbearance, failure or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy shall not be,
nor shall any such single or partial exercise of, or forbearance, failure or delay
be deemed to be a limitation, modification or waiver of any right, power or remedy
and shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every right, power and
remedy of the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders shall continue in full force and
effect until such right, power and remedy is specifically waived by an instrument in
writing executed and delivered with respect to each such waiver by such parties.

          (b) The Collateral Agent shall not take any action at the instruction of or for the benefit of
Series A Holders if Series A Holders would be prohibited from taking such action by Section
2 of this Agreement.

23

 

          4.7 Successor Collateral Agent.

               (a) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving twenty days’ prior written notice
thereof to the Noteholders and the Issuer. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Series B Administrative Holder (if Section 2 applies) or the Required Noteholders (if
Section 3 applies) shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The
Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective twenty days after delivery by the Collateral
Agent of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 4.7 (the “Resignation
Date”). On the Resignation Date, such retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 4 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent hereunder. Any successor
Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment,
become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder.

               (b) If the Repriority Event does not timely occur, Series B Holders may at any time thereafter
appoint a replacement Collateral Agent.

               (c) In the event the Collateral Agent resigns or is replaced, the Issuer and the Noteholders
shall cooperate in every manner reasonably requested by the Series B Administrative Holder (if
Section 2 applies) or the Required Noteholders (if Section 3 applies) and the
successor Collateral Agent to facilitate the transfer of Liens (and perfection thereof), Collateral
and related responsibilities to such replacement Collateral Agent, which cooperation shall include
modification of the terms applicable to the Collateral Agent to the extent necessary to conform to
such replacement Collateral Agent’s standard terms for such engagements. Each of the Noteholders
acknowledges and agrees in advance that such modifications may include additional waivers and other
terms that diminish the rights of the Noteholders relating to the Collateral Agent.

               (d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Initial Collateral Agent may assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates without the consent of any other Person.

     4.8 Amendments.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or in any Note Document, no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, affect
the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Note Document.

     SECTION
5. Miscellaneous.

          (a) The allocation of claim and Lien priorities set forth in this
Agreement shall govern the relationship and the relative priority of the Noteholders with respect
to the Collateral irrespective of the time or order of attachment or perfection of any of Liens,
the time or order of filing of financing statements, the acquisition of purchase money or other
Liens, the time of giving or failure to give notice of the acquisition or expected acquisition of
purchase money or other Liens, the rules for determining priority under the UCC or any other law or
rule governing relative priorities of Secured Parties, and the fact that any Liens with respect to
any Collateral are subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed, or any other circumstances
whatsoever. Any Lien granted to secure Claims is intended by the Note Parties, and shall deemed
for all purposes, to constitute two separate Lien grants, one for the purpose of securing the
Series B Claims, and one for the purpose of securing Series A Claims, the relative priorities of
which shall be determined by the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) Each of the Collateral Agent, Series A Administrative Holder and each Series A Holder
agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly take any action to contest or challenge the

24

 

validity, legality, enforceability, perfection or priority of any of the Series B Claims, any of
the documents or instruments evidencing such Series B Claims or Series B Liens. Each of the
Collateral Agent, Series B Administrative Holder and each Series B Holder agrees that it shall not
directly or indirectly take any action to contest or challenge the validity, legality,
enforceability, perfection or priority of any of the Series A Claims, any of the documents or instruments evidencing such
Series A Claims or Series A Liens. Each Holder hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this
Agreement are intended to be enforceable at all times, whether before or after any Insolvency
Proceeding or other proceeding. Each Holder hereby waives any right to require the Holders to
marshall the Collateral for the Claims.

          (c) For the purposes of the allocation of priorities, any claim of a right of set-off shall be
treated in all respects as a security interest, and no claimed right of set-off shall be asserted
by (x) any Series A Holder to defeat or diminish the rights or priorities of any Series B Lien or
Series B Claim, or (y) any Series B Holder to defeat or diminish the rights or priorities of any
Series A Lien or Series A Claim.

          (d) The parties hereto agree that, except in an Insolvency Proceeding (and to the extent not
otherwise prohibited by this Agreement) Series B Holders shall not, without the consent of Series A
Administrative Holder, acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, any Lien on any assets of any Note
Party securing any Series B Claims which assets are not also subject to Lien of the priority
required by this Agreement in favor of the Series A Holders under the Series A Note Documents.
Collateral Agent shall not accept, and no Note Party shall grant, any Lien for the purpose of
securing Series B Claims unless this subsection (d) shall have been complied with in full, and any
Lien so granted in violation of this sentence shall be deemed to have been granted for the purpose
of securing Series A Claims.

          (e) Each party to this Agreement shall promptly execute and deliver to any other party hereto
any and all financing statements, subordination agreements and other documents reasonably requested
by such party to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms of this Agreement.

          (f) All terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
as set forth in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York as
in effect from time to time. Except as otherwise provided herein, priority shall be in accordance
with the provisions of the UCC.

          (g) The parties hereto agree that until all Series B Claims have been Paid in Full, Series A
Holders shall not, without the consent of Series B Administrative Holder, acquire or hold, directly
or indirectly, any Lien on any assets of any Note Party securing any Series A Claims which assets
are not also subject to the first priority Lien in favor of the Series B Holders under the Series B
Note Documents unless the Series B Holders have intentionally released their Lien on Collateral
prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. If any Series A Holder shall, in violation of
this Agreement, acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Note Party securing any Series A
Claims, which assets are not also subject to the first priority Lien in favor of Series B Holders
under the Series B Note Documents, then Series A Holders shall, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any other Series A Note Document, (i) be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the
benefit of Series B Administrative Holder as security for the Series B Claims and shall assign such
Lien to Collateral Agent for the benefit of Series B Administrative Holder (in which case
Collateral Agent may retain a junior Lien on such assets for the benefit of Series A Administrative
Holder subject to the terms hereof) or (ii) if so requested by Series B Administrative Holder,
release such Lien. Collateral Agent shall not accept, and no Note Party shall grant, any Lien for
the purpose of securing Series A Claims unless this subsection (g) shall have been complied with in
full, and any Lien so granted in violation of this sentence shall be deemed to have been granted
for the purpose of securing Series B Claims.

25

 

          (h) The parties hereto agree that until all Series A Claims have been Paid in Full, Series B
Holders shall not, without the consent of Series A Administrative Holder, acquire or hold, directly
or indirectly, any Lien on any assets of any Note Party securing any Series B Claims which assets are not also subject to the second priority Lien in favor of the Series A Holders under the
Series A Note Documents unless the Series B Holders have intentionally released their Lien on
Collateral prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. If any Series B Holder shall, in
violation of this Agreement (and except as permitted by Section 2.5), acquire or hold any Lien on
any assets of any Note Party securing any Series B Claims, which assets are not also subject to the
second priority Lien in favor of Series A Holders under the Series A Note Documents, then Series B
Holders shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Series B Note Document, (i) be
deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of Series A Administrative Holder as
security for the Series A Claims and shall assign such Lien to Collateral Agent for the benefit of
Series A Administrative Holder (in which case Collateral Agent may retain a senior Lien on such
assets for the benefit of Series B Administrative Holder subject to the terms hereof) or (ii) if
so requested by Series A Administrative Holder, release such Lien. Collateral Agent shall not
accept, and no Note Party shall grant, any Lien for the purpose of securing Series B Claims unless
this subsection (h) shall have been complied with in full, and any Lien so granted in violation of
this sentence shall be deemed to have been granted for the purpose of securing Series A Claims.

          (i) Subject to Section 5(q), this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by Series B Holders, Series A Holders, Collateral Agent and in each
case their respective successors and assigns, including without limitation in relation to any
replacement agreement or facility existing at any time to refund, refinance, replace or renew
(including subsequent or successive refinancings, replacements and renewals) the Series B Note
Purchase Agreement or the Series A Note Purchase Agreement. Each party hereto represents and
warrants that it is authorized to enter into this Agreement.

          (j) This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination
agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before and after the
commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Note Party shall
include such Note Party as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Note Party
in any Insolvency Proceeding.

          (k) This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement
relating to the subject matter hereof and is intended as a complete statement of the terms and
conditions of their agreement relating to the subject matter hereof.

          (l) No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right,
remedy or privilege under this Agreement shall impair such power, right, remedy or privilege or
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power,
right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other power, right or privilege.
The waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege with respect to particular facts and
circumstances shall not be deemed to be a waiver with respect to other facts and circumstances.

          (m) Each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by fax or
United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in
person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of fax, or three
Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly
addressed. Unless otherwise specified in a notice mailed or delivered in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5(m), notices, demands, instructions and other
communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the respective parties hereto at their
respective addresses indicated on the signature pages hereof. In the event that Collateral Agent
or any Noteholder shall be required by the

26

 

UCC or any other applicable law to give any notice to
any other Noteholder, such notice shall be given in accordance with this paragraph and, as between
such parties, five days’ notice shall be conclusively deemed to be commercially reasonable.

          (n) This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in
connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
or thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed
an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;
signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single
counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. This
Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties
hereto.

          (o) In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          (p) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

          (q) This Agreement shall terminate (except with respect to unasserted indemnification
obligations) upon Payment in Full of all Series B Claims without further action on the part of the
parties hereto.

          (r) Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination, consent or
waiver of or to any provision of this Agreement nor any consent to any departure therefrom shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the requisite voting
majority of Series B Holders under the terms of the Series B Note Purchase Agreement and the
requisite voting majority of Series A Holders under the terms of the Series A Note Purchase
Agreement, and, solely if such amendment, modification, supplement, termination, consent or waiver
is to Section 3.4 hereof or the definition of Repriority Event or is materially adverse to or
otherwise materially changes the obligations of any Note Party, Issuer; provided, however, that
Issuer shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date notice of any
such amendment, modification, supplement, termination, consent or waiver has been delivered to
Issuer unless such consent is expressly refused by Issuer prior to such day. Any waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure from the terms of any provisions of
this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given.

          (s) Each of the Noteholders and the Collateral Agent understands that the Issuer has
undertaken to provide collateral and additional guarantees for the Fifth Third Facility, and to
cause the Note Documents and Liens securing same to be subordinated to the Fifth Third Facility and
Liens securing same. The Noteholders and the Collateral Agent agree to reasonably cooperate with
the Issuer’s efforts to provide such collateral, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Noteholders,
and the Noteholders agree to subordinate their respective Claims to the Fifth Third Facility, and
to modify their respective Note Documents as necessary to accommodate such collateral (including
the priority of the Liens with respect thereto) and additional guarantees, provided such
subordination terms, and any such modifications, are reasonably acceptable to the Noteholders. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the acceptance of the Noteholders will be determined by the
requisite voting majority of Series B Holders

27

 

under the terms of the Series B Note Purchase
Agreement and the requisite voting majority of Series A Holders under the terms of the Series A
Note Purchase Agreement (if Section 2 applies) or the Required Noteholders (if Section 3 applies).
The Issuer agrees that modification of the Fifth Third Facility will be made subject to
restrictions in substantially the form of those set forth in Section 2.11 mutatis mutandis,
and that the waiver of such restrictions will require the consent of the requisite voting
majority of Series B Holders under the terms of the Series B Note Purchase Agreement and the
requisite voting majority of Series A Holders under the terms of the Series A Note Purchase
Agreement (if Section 2 applies) or the Required Noteholders (if Section 3 applies).

28

 

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