The name, citizenship, present principal occupation or employment and business address of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Persons are set forth in Schedule A attached hereto.

No Reporting Person or manager or executive officer of the Reporting Persons has, during the past five years, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

By virtue of the terms of the Exclusivity Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in Item 4 or Item 6 hereof), the Reporting Persons, together with the Colony Parties, may be deemed to comprise a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to Shares of the Issuer.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On October 16, 2011, in connection with Credit Amendment No. 2 and the Assignment Agreement, as well as the Warrant Assignment (as defined in Item 5 or Item 6 hereof), each of CDCF and CFI assigned Warrants with respect to 1,760,170 Shares of the Issuer to C-III, C-III caused the Issuer to deliver to each of CDCF and CFI warrants with respect to 932,222 Shares of the Issuer (the “Colony Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants”) that otherwise would have been issued to C-III, and the Issuer issued a warrant with respect to 1,864,445 Shares of

Items 4, 5 and 6 are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 3.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

In consideration of C-III’s commitment to extend credit pursuant to Credit Amendment No. 2, the consent to further amend the Credit Agreement (as defined below) by ColFin GNE Loan Funding, LLC (“ColFin”) and the due diligence investigation of the Issuer which was undertaken and continues to be undertaken by C-III and ColFin and their affiliates, the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Exclusivity Agreement”) with C-III and ColFin (together, the “Exclusive Parties”), which requires the Issuer to work exclusively with the Exclusive Parties with respect to a potential acquisition, recapitalization, asset sale or other strategic transaction (a “Potential Transaction”) and not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or initiate or enter into any discussions, negotiations or transactions with, reply to or encourage, or provide any written or verbal information to, any individual, corporation, partnership or other entity or group other than the Exclusive Parties concerning the acquisition of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries or any equity interest therein or any substantial portion of the Issuer’s or its subsidiaries’ assets. The Exclusivity Agreement provides for an exclusivity period that commenced on October 16, 2011 and ends at 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on November 15, 2011; provided, however, that such period may be extended by C-III, at its option, to 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on December 15, 2011 if C-III continues to be diligently pursuing a Potential Transaction on November 15, 2011; and further provided, that such period may be further extended by C-III, at its option, to 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on January 14, 2012 if C-III continues to be diligently pursuing a Potential Transaction on December 15, 2011 (the “Exclusivity Period”). The Exclusivity Agreement provides, however, that if the Issuer receives an unsolicited written offer from a third party for a Competing Transaction (as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement) that constitutes a Qualifying Proposal (as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement), then the Issuer shall immediately deliver a copy of the unsolicited offer to C-III. At any time after the 60th day of the Exclusivity Period, the Issuer has the right to request C-III to provide written confirmation that C-III is willing to enter into a transaction with the Issuer on terms and conditions, and in the time frame, at least as favorable as the Qualifying Proposal. If C-III fails to provide such written confirmation within three (3) business days after delivery of the Issuer’s request to C-III and the board of directors of the Issuer determines that it would be a breach of its fiduciary duty to the Issuer’s stockholders not to engage in discussions with the third party, then the Issuer shall have the right to provide information to, negotiate with and enter into an agreement with such third party with respect to a Competing Transaction, provided certain conditions are met. During the Exclusivity Period, the Issuer shall cooperate with the Exclusive Parties in facilitating discussions with creditors and preferred stockholders of the Issuer. The Exclusivity Agreement also provides the Issuer will reimburse C-III for certain expenses incurred in connection with pursuing a Potential Transaction. This summary of the Exclusivity Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exclusivity Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in Item 6 hereof) and the Exclusivity Agreement, one or more of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates intend to have further discussions and other communications with the Issuer regarding a Potential Transaction and may also have discussions and other communications with other persons or entities (including other creditors, stakeholders and stockholders of the Issuer) regarding a Potential Transaction or any other transaction(s) involving the Issuer. In addition, the Intercreditor Agreement designated C-III as the lead party for negotiations with creditors, stakeholders and stockholders with respect to a Potential Transaction, and as such C-III and the Reporting Persons expect to actively engage certain stakeholders of the Issuer to formulate strategic alternatives. In the course of such discussions one or more of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may suggest actions that could result in, among other things: (a) the acquisition by a Reporting Person(s) and/or their affiliates of additional Shares or other securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of Shares or other securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) a material change in the Issuer’s business or structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s articles of incorporation or bylaws

or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above. Except to the extent that a Potential Transaction or anything else described in this Item 4 or in Item 6 may be a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) above.

The Reporting Persons and their affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, whether or not in connection with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Exclusivity Agreement, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person(s), or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in clauses (a) through (j) above.

Subject to the agreements described herein, and depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the terms of the Warrants, price levels of the Shares and other securities of the Issuer, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons and their affiliates may in the future take such actions with respect to the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Shares of the Issuer or other securities of the Issuer, transferring, selling or otherwise disposing some or all of their Shares or Warrants, altering the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, increasing or decreasing the amount of credit arrangements or entering into new credit arrangements, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Shares or other securities of the Issuer (whether through open market purchases, block trades, private acquisitions, tender or exchange offers or otherwise) or changing their intention partially or entirely with respect to any or all of the matters described in this Item 4 (including taking all or some of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) above, such as engaging in or proposing: a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; or changes in the Issuer’s articles of incorporation or bylaws).

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Reporting Persons intend to act in accordance with the terms of the Issuer’s organizations documents, applicable law, the Amended Credit Agreement, the Warrants and the other applicable agreements described herein. The foregoing is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurance that any of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates will take any of the actions set forth above.

This summary of the Closing Mechanics Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Closing Mechanics Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4, and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

On April 15, 2011, Borrower, Issuer, as Parent Guarantor, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto and ColFin, as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”), entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”). On July 22, 2011, the parties to the Credit Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (“Credit Amendment No. 1”) amending certain terms of the Credit Agreement. On October 16, 2011, the Issuer, as Parent Guarantor and as a Guarantor, the Borrower, Grubb & Ellis Equity Advisors, LLC, Grubb and Ellis Healthcare REIT II Advisors, LLC and Grubb & Ellis Landauer Valuation Advisory Services, LLC, as Guarantors, ColFin, as Administrative Agent, and as a Lender, and C-III (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (“Credit Amendment No. 2”). Pursuant to Credit Amendment No. 2, the Loan Parties agreed that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent set forth in Credit Amendment No. 2, including that the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Credit Amendment No. 2) shall occur on or before October 28, 2011, C-III shall join the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) as a Lender and provide an additional $10,000,000 term loan commitment to the Borrower. C-III funded its $10,000,000 commitment and joined the Amended Credit Agreement on October 21, 2011. The Issuer is obligated to pay certain costs to effect the transactions contemplated by Credit Amendment No. 2.

The Credit Agreement, as amended by Credit Amendment No. 1 and Credit Amendment No. 2 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), matures on March 1, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are subject to compliance with a borrowing base and the outstanding loans under the Amended Credit Agreement (“Loans”) must be prepaid (and may not be re-borrowed) in the event that they exceed the borrowing base by a specified percentage and for a specified time period. Interest on the outstanding Loans is payable monthly at a rate currently equal to 12% per annum, which will increase to 12.5% per annum on any outstanding Loans from and after the 270th day after closing date of the Credit Agreement. In lieu of paying interest on a current basis, the Borrower may elect to have interest added to the principal balance of the Loans and become payable on the Maturity Date, in which event the Borrower also is obligated to provide certain Additional Warrants (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) to the Lenders. This summary of the Credit Agreement, Credit Amendment No. 1 and Credit Amendment No. 2 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, Credit Amendment No. 1 and Credit Amendment No. 2, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5, Exhibit 99.6, and Exhibit 99.7, respectively, and incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 6.

In connection with Credit Amendment No. 2, ColFin and C-III entered into an Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment Agreement”), dated October 16, 2011, pursuant to which ColFin, in its capacity as a lender under the Amended Credit Agreement, agreed to assign to C-III, and C-III agreed to purchase, certain outstanding loans in the amount of $4,000,000, plus accrued interest, of ColFin’s existing $18,000,000 in initial principal amount of outstanding Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement. The effective date of the Assignment Agreement was October 21, 2011, which was the date on which C-III funded its $10,000,000 commitment. This summary of the Assignment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Assignment Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.8 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

On April 15, 2011, the Issuer issued Warrants to CDCF and CFI to each purchase 3,356,000 Shares at $0.01 per Share upon the exercise of such warrants (the “Original Warrants”). In connection with Credit Amendment No. 1, the Original Warrants were amended on July 22, 2011 (the “Warrant Amendments No. 1”). This summary of the Original Warrants and Warrant Amendments No. 1 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Original Warrants and the Warrant Amendments No. 1, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.9, Exhibit 99.10, Exhibit 99.11 and Exhibit 99.12, respectively, and incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 6.

On October 16, 2011, the Issuer and each of CDCF and CFI entered into an Amendment to Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Warrant Amendments No. 2”) pursuant to which the warrants to purchase Shares of the Issuer dated April 15, 2011, April 30, 2011, May 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, July 31, 2011, August 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 (collectively with the Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants, the “Warrants”) were amended. The Warrant Amendments No. 2 provide for, among other things, a limitation on the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Exercise Limitation”), whereby: (i) no holder will be entitled to purchase or otherwise acquire Shares of the Issuer or other securities or instruments upon exercise of the Warrants to the extent such purchase, acquisition or receipt would cause the holder to become directly a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of 10.00% or more of the Shares of the Issuer; and (ii) if, but for the operation of clause (i), such holder would be deemed to be a beneficial owner of 10.00% or more of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer then any exercise of the Warrant shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in the exercising holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) becoming the owner (as distinguished from a beneficial owner under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of more than 4.99% of the Shares of the Issuer outstanding at such time; provided, however, that the foregoing 4.99% limitation on exercise of Warrants in this clause (ii) shall cease to apply to any holder that ceases to be part of a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with persons that are not affiliates of such holder. Additionally, the Warrant Amendments No. 2 provide that the anti-dilution and most favored nation pricing provisions of the Warrants do not apply in respect to the transactions described herein. This summary of the Warrant Amendments No. 2 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Amendments No. 2, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.13 and Exhibit 99.14, respectively, and incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 6.

In connection with the issuance of the Original Warrants, CDCF and CFI entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2011, with the Issuer (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which provided CDCF and CFI with customary demand and “piggy-back” rights. On October 16, 2011, CDCF, CFI, C-III and the Issuer entered into an Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Amendment”). The Registration Amendment provided for (i) the inclusion of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants to the securities covered by the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) the restatement of Schedule I to the Registration Rights Agreement to include C-III as an initial holder of Warrants, and (iii) an amendment to the notice provision to include C-III. This summary of the Registration Amendment and the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Amendment and Registration Rights Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.15 and Exhibit 99.16, respectively, and incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 6.

On October 16, 2011: (i) the Warrant Assignments were entered into; the Issuer issued the C-III Second Amendment Effective Date Warrant to C-II pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement; and (iii) the Issuer issued the Colony Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants to CDFC and CFI. Each of the Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants contains the Warrant Exercise Limitation. This summary of the C-III Second Amendment Effective Date Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the C-III Second Amendment Effective Date Warrant, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.17 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

In connection with Credit Amendment No. 2, the Exclusivity Agreement, the Registration Amendment, the Warrant Assignments, the Warrant Amendments No. 2, and the Assignment Agreement, CFI, C-III, ColFin, CDCF and CFI entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), dated October 16, 2011. Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, until the Maturity Date neither C-III nor ColFin (collectively, the “Intercreditor Lenders”) may consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the Credit Agreement or other loan document, without the written consent of both Intercreditor Lenders. If on the Maturity Date C-III (or an affiliate thereof) is a party to a definitive written agreement with the Issuer or one or more subsidiaries relating to a Potential Transaction, then C-III shall have the right to consent to an extension of the Maturity Date without the consent of ColFin. Under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, until the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date on which discussions between C-III and the Issuer regarding a Potential Transaction are discontinued, (i) neither Intercreditor Lender may sell assign, participate or otherwise transfer all or any part of its Loans (except to certain controlled affiliates of Island Capital and Colony Capital, LLC) without prior written consent of the other Intercreditor Lender, and (ii) none of C-III, CDCF or CFI may sell assign, participate or otherwise transfer all or any part of its Warrants (except

to certain controlled affiliates of Island Capital and Colony Capital, LLC) without prior written consent of the Intercreditor Lenders. The Intercreditor Agreement also provides that no party to the Intercreditor Agreement may consent to any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to the Registration Rights Agreement, or selection of Holders Counsel (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), without the prior written consent of each other party. Furthermore, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that none of C-III, CDCF or CFI shall consent to any amendment, supplement or modification of any term of any Original Warrants, Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants or Additional Warrants without the written consent of C-III, CDCF and CFI. The Intercreditor Agreement also provides that the current Administrative Agent may not resign as such without giving 60 days’ prior written notice to C-III. A majority of the Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent if it or its Affiliate (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) ceases to be a Lender. The Intercreditor Agreement also designated C-III as the lead party for negotiations with creditors, stakeholders and stockholders with respect to a Potential Transaction. Finally, the Intercreditor Agreement documents the intent of the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement that the subject loans, commitments and Warrants be split 50/50, with C-III holding 50% of each and ColFin, CDCF and CFI collectively holding 50% of each. This summary of the Intercreditor Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Intercreditor Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.18 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

Items 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 6.

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, including any exhibits hereto, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.

Re:

Exclusivity Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have discussed a potential acquisition, recapitalization, asset sale or other strategic transaction (a “Transaction”) involving Grubb & Ellis Company (the “Company”), C-III Investments LLC (“C-III”) and its affiliates and ColFin GNE Loan Funding, LLC (“Colony”, and together with C-III, the “Interested Parties”) and its affiliates. In consideration of the extension of credit by the Interested Parties and/or affiliates thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement of even date herewith (the “Second Amendment”), which amends that certain Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 2011 among the Company, Grubb & Ellis Management Services, as borrower, the lenders signatory thereto and Colony in its capacity as administrative agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), and the due diligence investigation of the Company that the Interested Parties and their affiliates have undertaken and intend to continue to undertake, the Company hereby agrees that it shall, and that it shall cause its subsidiaries and its and its subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banking, legal or accounting firm or other advisor and any individual member or employee of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Representatives”), during the Exclusivity Period (as hereinafter defined), to work exclusively with the Interested Parties and their respective representatives with respect to a potential Transaction and not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or initiate or enter into any discussions, negotiations or transactions with, reply to or encourage, or provide any information, written or verbal to, any individual, corporation, partnership or other entity or group (other than the Interested Parties and their respective representatives) concerning the acquisition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any equity interest therein or all or any substantial portion of any of their assets, whether through direct purchase, merger, consolidation or other business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective assets (singly or collectively, a “Competing Transaction”). During the Exclusivity Period, the Company shall promptly notify each of the Interested Parties regarding any contact between it or any of its Representatives and any other person or entity regarding any offer or proposal (and shall promptly provide to each of the Interested Parties copies of any written materials received by the Company or its Representatives in connection with such

Grubb & Ellis Company

October 16, 2011

Page 2

proposal, discussion, negotiation or inquiry, or a written summary of any oral proposals, discussions, negotiations or inquiries) from such other person or entity that could be construed as a proposal or offer for a Competing Transaction. The Company represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of its officers or directors is party to or bound by any agreement with respect to any Competing Transaction.

For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Exclusivity Period” means the period commencing on October 16 2011 and ending at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on November 15 2011; provided, however, that such period may be extended by C-III, at its option, to 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on December 15, 2011 if C-III continues to be diligently pursuing a Transaction on November 15, 2011; and further provided, however, that such period may be further extended by C-III, at its option, to 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on January 14, 2012 if C-III continues to be diligently pursuing a Transaction on December 15, 2011; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else set forth herein to the contrary, if a funding pursuant to the Second Amendment does not occur on or before October 28, 2011 other than as a consequence of the Company’s breach thereof (it being expressly understood and agreed that the failure to satisfy a closing condition despite good faith attempts to do so shall not be deemed a breach by the Company), then the Exclusivity Period shall automatically terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on October 28, 2011 and this letter agreement shall become null and void. The exercise by C-III of its option to extend the Exclusivity Period as hereinabove provided shall be effected by written notice by C-III to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else set forth herein to the contrary, if at any time during the Exclusivity Period the Company receives an unsolicited written offer (the “Unsolicited Offer”) from a third party (the “Third Party”) for a Competing Transaction that constitutes a Qualifying Proposal (as hereinafter defined), then: (i) the Company shall immediately deliver a copy of the Unsolicited Offer to C-III; and (ii) at any time after the sixtieth (60th) day of the Exclusivity Period, the Company shall have the right to request from C-III (the “Company Request”) written confirmation from C-III that C-III is willing to enter into a Transaction with the Company on terms and conditions, and in the time frame, at least as favorable to the Company as the Qualifying Proposal. If (i) C-III fails to provide such written confirmation to the Company within three (3) business days after delivery by the Company of the Company Request to C-III and (ii) the board of directors of the Company determines, based on advice from the Company’s financial adviser and outside legal counsel, that it would be a breach of its fiduciary duty to the Company’s stockholders not to engage in discussions with such Third Party, then the Company shall have the right to provide information to, negotiate with and enter into an agreement with such Third Party with respect to the Competing Transaction if, and only if, prior to any such provision of information, negotiations or entering into an agreement the Third Party shall have (a) executed and delivered an Assignment and Assumption in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (an “Assignment and Assumption”) with each Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which the Third Party agrees to purchase the Loan(s) (as defined in the Credit Agreement) held by each Lender at par plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Loan Purchases”), and (b) tendered to each Lender the applicable consideration therefor in immediately available funds. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender or

Grubb & Ellis Company

October 16, 2011

Page 3

other person or entity shall be required to transfer to the Third Party any Warrant (as defined in the Credit Agreement) issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement (including the Second Amendment) prior to the date of assignment of the Loans to the Third Party. Upon the consummation of the Loan Purchases, notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Exclusivity Period shall simultaneously and automatically terminate.

As used herein, “Qualifying Proposal” means a bona fide written proposal for a Competing Transaction that is: (i) not solicited or initiated by the Company or any of its affiliates or Representatives in violation of the terms of this letter agreement; (ii) in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company, based on advice from the Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, reasonably likely to be completed on a timely basis; (iii) not subject to financing or any other material condition (other than required governmental, stockholder and regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions such as due authorization, good standing, receipt of legal opinions, etc.); and (iv) in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company, based on advice from the Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the terms of any proposal for a Transaction submitted by C-III, if applicable.

During the Exclusivity Period, the Company and its affiliates shall cooperate with the Interested Parties and their representatives in facilitating discussions with creditors and preferred stockholders of the Company.

The parties agree that, notwithstanding the restrictions contained in that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated March 25, 2011 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), Colony may have discussions regarding the Possible Transactions (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and disclose Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), with FMR LLC and its affiliates.

The Company shall promptly reimburse the C-III and its affiliates for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of financial advisors, accountants, consultants, experts, financing sources, attorneys and other advisors to the C-III and its affiliates) incurred by C-III and its affiliates in connection with pursuing a Transaction, up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000.

This letter agreement (and any amendments hereto), when executed by the Company, shall constitute a binding obligation with respect to the matters set forth herein. That being said, this letter agreement (and any amendments hereto) shall not constitute a binding obligation on any party to enter into or otherwise consummate a Transaction. This letter agreement may be amended only with the written approval of all parties hereto. This letter agreement (and any amendments hereto) may be signed in counterparts, all of which will constitute the same agreement, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws (other than the conflict of laws rules) of the New York and will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

All capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Closing Mechanics Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall have the meanings given to them in the Amendment.

This Agreement shall evidence our agreement on the order in which certain aspects of the Transaction shall occur and certain other matters, as follows:

1. On the date hereof, the following transactions shall be consummated in the order set forth below:

(a)

First, each Warrant Amendment shall be duly executed and delivered by each of the Parent Guarantor, the relevant Warrant Holder and C-III.

(b)

Second, the Registration Rights Agreement Amendment shall be executed and delivered by each of the Parent Guarantor and each Warrant Holder.

(c)

Third, each of (i) a Warrant Assignment Agreement with respect to the assignment by CFI to C-III of Closing Date Warrants for the purchase of 1,678,000 shares of common stock of the Parent Guarantor and of Additional Warrants for the purchase of 82,170 shares of common stock of the Parent Guarantor shall be executed and delivered by the parties thereto, in consideration of C-III’s agreements under the Assignment Agreement, and (ii) a Warrant Assignment Agreement with respect to the assignment by CDCF to C-III of Closing Date Warrants for the purchase of 1,678,000 shares of common stock of the Parent Guarantor and of Additional Warrants for the purchase of 82,170 shares of common stock of the Parent Guarantor shall be executed and delivered by the parties thereto, in consideration of C-III’s agreements under the Assignment Agreement. Each of CFI, CDCF and the Parent Guarantor hereby agrees to take such additional actions as may reasonably be required such that C-III and the Warrant Holders are provided with the same rights with respect to each issue of Warrants (including, without limitation, the registration rights thereunder). For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Assigned Warrants” shall mean the Warrants described in this clause (c).

(d)

Fourth, the Parent Guarantor shall issue (i) to C-III, in the name of C-III, one or more Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 1,864,444 shares of common stock of the Parent Guarantor and, simultaneously therewith, (ii) to CFI, in the name of CFI, one or more Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 932,222 shares of common stock of the Parent Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of this letter agreement, and (iii) to CDCF, in the name of CDCF, one or more Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 932,222 shares of common stock of the Parent Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of this letter agreement. The creation of the Commitment by C-III under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the Amendment and the making of the Loans thereunder (the date upon which such Loans are made, the “Funding Date”) shall constitute good and valuable consideration for such issuance and delivery of Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants (the “Issuer Warrant Payment”).

2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Lender Document, C-III does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally instruct the Parent Guarantor to issue and deliver the Second Amendment Date Warrants to CFI and CDCF in the manner set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 1(d) hereof in lieu of the issuance and delivery of such Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants to C-III and (together with the issuance and delivery of the Second Amendment Effective Date Warrants to be delivered to C-III pursuant to clause (i) of Section 1(d) above) shall satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6(i) of the Amendment.

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1 of this letter agreement, in the event that the Borrower shall not have made a borrowing under the Commitment of C-III on or prior to October 28, 2011, then, without any further action on the part of any party hereto (including, without limitation, the Borrower):

(a)

the Second Amendment Date Warrants that have been issued to each of C-III, CFI and CDCF immediately shall be rescinded, ab initio, cancelled and null and void, in which case C-III shall no longer have any obligation on account of the Issuer Warrant Payment. In the event that the Second Amendment Date Warrants shall be cancelled and null and void in accordance with this clause (a), each of C-III, CFI and CDCF shall be obligated to promptly return to the Parent Guarantor for destruction all physical Second Amendment Date Warrants previously delivered to it; and

(b)

On the Termination Date (as defined below), the transfer of Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Assignments shall be voided ab initio and C-III shall promptly (and, in any event, within three business days) execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements as reasonably are necessary in order to permit the assignment and transfer to CFI and CDCF respectively of the Assigned Warrants assigned and transferred by it to C-III on the Funding Date and, upon such assignment and transfer back to CFI and CDCF, C-III shall cease to have any obligation to pay to CFI and CDCF any amounts under the Assignment Agreement. Each of CFI and CDCF hereby is granted a power of attorney by C-III to execute such reasonable and customary documents, instruments of assignment or other agreements as may be required to transfer the Assigned Warrants to it, such that each of CFI, CDCF and C-III is in the same position with respect to title to the Assigned Warrants as it was in immediately prior to the assignment and transfer effected on the date

hereof pursuant to Section 1(c) above. The effectiveness of such power of attorney shall require no further action on the part of C-III in the event that the Termination Date occurs. Such power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

The transactions contemplated by this Section 3 shall be deemed to occur immediately upon the close of trading of the New York Stock Exchange on the date which is five business days following the termination of the Commitment of C-III (whether on account of failure of the Second Amendment Effective Date to occur or for any other reason) under the Credit Agreement (the “Termination Date”). The parties agree that they shall cause a public announcement of the termination of the Commitment promptly (and, in any event, within one business day) following such termination.

4. CFI hereby represents and warrants that the Warrants transferred and assigned by it to C-III pursuant to the Warrant Assignment Agreements to which it is a party constitute 50.0% of each issue of Closing Date Warrants held by it and 50.0% of each issue of Additional Warrants held by it. CDCF hereby represents and warrants that the Warrants transferred and assigned by it to C-III pursuant to the Warrant Assignment Agreements to which it is a party constitute 50.0% of each issue of Closing Date Warrants held by it and 50.0% of each issue of Additional Warrants held by it.

5. Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees to use best efforts to consummate the Transactions in the manner described herein.

6. This letter agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented only by written agreement of each Party.

7. This letter agreement constitutes the full and complete agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The agreements and understandings in this letter agreement shall supersede any and all conflicting or otherwise inconsistent terms under any other agreement to which a Party is party.

8. This letter agreement, and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the rules regarding conflict or choice of laws of such State.

9. This letter agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties agree that this letter agreement shall be legally binding upon the electronic transmission, including by facsimile or email, by each Party of a signed signature page to this letter agreement to the other Parties.

(b) If on any date of determination the aggregate principal amount of Loans (excluding any Additional Loans) outstanding exceeds the Borrowing Base (such excess amount being referred to herein as, an “Over Advance”), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Over Advance on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) so long as (i) the aggregate amount of Over Advances on such date does not exceed $3,000,000, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iii) an amount equal to (A) 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans (excluding any Additional Loans) outstanding on such date minus (B) the Borrowing Base is deposited by the Borrower on such date in an interest-bearing segregated account subject to the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent (the “Over Advance Account”), and (iv) upon the earlier of (A) the next date on which the Borrower is required to deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 6.2 and (B) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Borrower either (i) directs the Administrative Agent to apply the proceeds in the Over Advance Account equal to the then applicable Over Advances to the prepayment of the Loans (with the remaining balance to be paid to the Borrower in such account designated by the Borrower) or (ii) only to the extent no Over Advance exists on such date, directs the Administrative Agent to (and the Administrative Agent thereafter shall promptly, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of receiving such direction) deposit all amounts in the Over Advance Account to such account designated by the Borrower in writing at such time.

(c) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Group Member (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.5(d).

(d) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.9. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.5 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and the prepayment premium pursuant to Section 2.6.

2.6 Prepayment Premium. All voluntary prepayments of principal of Loans pursuant to Section 2.4, all mandatory repayments of principal of Loans required pursuant to Section 2.5 and all repayments of principal of Loans required pursuant to Section 8 as a result of the acceleration thereof will be subject to payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender, of a prepayment premium on the principal amount so prepaid or repaid, of 4.0%; provided that such prepayment premium shall be reduced to 2.0% in the event the Borrower makes more than one borrowing under the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.2; provided, further that no such prepayment premium shall be required to be paid by the Borrower if such prepayment or repayment was required to be made as a result of a Specified Change of Control Transaction in which the per share market value of the common stock is equal to or greater than $1.10 per share. Such prepayment premium shall be due and payable upon the date of any voluntary prepayment or the due date of such mandatory prepayment or required repayment, as the case may be.

2.7 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate.

(b) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, all amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.0%.

(c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(d) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may elect to (i) pay all interest due on any Interest Payment Date in cash or (ii) pay up to 100% of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date by adding such interest to the principal amount of the outstanding Loans and the remaining portion of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date in cash (such election, a “PIK Election”; and such interest added to the principal amount of the outstanding Loans, the “PIK Amounts”). Unless otherwise notified at least five Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date (and in the absence of an Event of Default), the Borrower will be deemed to have made a PIK Election with respect to all of the interest due on any Interest Payment Date. In the event of any PIK Election, the Parent Guarantor shall issue to the Lenders (in accordance with their Aggregate Exposure Percentage) additional warrants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H to purchase a number of shares (not less than zero) of common stock of the Parent Guarantor equal to (x) an amount equal to the product of (i) the Closing Date Warrant Shares and (ii) a ratio equal to (A) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding (including all PIK Amounts) at such date over (B) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding (excluding all PIK Amounts) at such date minus (y) the aggregate amount of Closing Date Warrant Shares and any Additional Warrants issued to the Lenders since the Closing Date (such additional warrants, the “Additional Warrants”). The Parent Guarantor shall issue any such Additional Warrants at the time of each such PIK Election. In addition, the Parent Guarantor shall issue to the Lenders (in accordance with their Aggregate Exposure Percentage) Additional Warrants on the final Interest Payment Date (whether at the stated maturity or otherwise) if the Borrower has made a PIK Election with respect to more than 50% of the aggregate amount of accrued interest payable on the Loans up to such final Interest Payment Date. The amount of Additional Warrants issued on the final Interest Payment Date shall be calculated as set forth above in this paragraph assuming that the Borrower had made a PIK Election with respect to all interest paid on such final Interest Payment Date.

2.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

2.9 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and each payment by the Borrower on account of any fee shall be made pro rata according to the respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage of the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest and premium on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. Amounts prepaid under Section 2.5(b) shall be applied to Loans other than Additional Loans. Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, premium, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at Interest Rate then in effect, on demand, from the Borrower.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.9(d), 2.9(e) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

2.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (i) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material or (ii) subjects any Lender to any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.11 Taxes. (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.11(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.11(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.11(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.11(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a change in a Requirement of Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(f).

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.11(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10 or 2.11(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11(a).

2.13 Tax Treatment of Units. The Parent Guarantor, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree (i) to treat the Loans made on the Closing Date and the Closing Date Warrants as an investment unit consisting of Warrants and a Loan and to allocate the purchase price between the underlying Warrants and Loan in the proportions set forth on Schedule 2.13 hereto, which Schedule shall be agreed to among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower and completed no later than April 22, 2011, and (ii) unless required by applicable law, each of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will not take any position on a tax return inconsistent with (i) or (ii).

2.14 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 or (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.12 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, (vii) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

SECTION 3. FEES

3.1 Closing Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (on a pro rata basis based on each such Lender’s respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage) a closing fee on the Closing Date of $180,000.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Parent Guarantor and Borrower hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

financial condition of the Parent Guarantor as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-, six- and nine-month periods then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). As of the Closing Date, no Group Member has any Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph or previously disclosed by the Parent Guarantor in its filings and current reports with the SEC, except for any such liabilities or obligations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. During the period from December 31, 2010 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by any Group Member of any material part of its business or property.

4.2 No Change. Since March 30, 2011, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow the Loans hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowing of the Loans on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and (iii) immaterial consents, authorizations, filings and notices. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any material Requirement of Law or any material Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

4.9 Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. To the best knowledge of each Group Member, no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor know of any valid basis for any such claim. To the best knowledge of any Loan Party, the use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect.

4.10 Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material Tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member); no Tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax, fee or other charge.

4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used (a) for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board or (b) for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. No more than 25% of the assets of the Group Members consist of “margin stock” as so defined.

4.12 Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member.

4.13 ERISA.

SECTION 9. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section shall apply to any such agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and to the Affiliates of any such agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact, and shall apply to their respective activities as agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact as if such agent, sub-agent, attorney-in-fact and Affiliates were named herein.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, sub-agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) any Lender may elect to reduce or cancel any Obligations owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of the Warrants without the consent of any other Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision of any Loan Document that affects the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as provided to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lenders, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses;

(b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent;

(c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other Taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents; and

(d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, sub-agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(ii) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower agrees that it will cooperate with such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to effect such assignment.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

10.13 Acknowledgements. Each of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

10.14 Releases of Guarantees and Liens.

(b) At such time as the Loans and the other obligations under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE [ ] SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Issue Date: [ ]

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [ ] (together with its transferees, “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase [ ] ([ ]) shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of fully paid and nonassessable $0.01 par value per share Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of Grubbs & Ellis Company, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), at the Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed in Section 17 hereof.

1. Warrant Price. The “Warrant Price” shall initially be one cent ($0.01) per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below.

2. Conditions to Exercise. Unless this Warrant has previously expired pursuant to the terms specified herein, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below, during the term commencing on the Issue Date and ending at 5:00 P.M. Pacific time on the third anniversary of the Issue Date of this Warrant (the “Expiration Date”) only in the following circumstances:

(a) Exercisability Upon Satisfaction of Fundamental Change Condition. Holder may exercise this Warrant on or before the Expiration Date upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change in which the consideration received for each share of Common Stock has a fair market value equal to or greater than One Dollar and Ten Cents ($1.10) per share (the “Trigger Price”); provided that if an Early Termination Event occurs this Warrant shall terminate and be of no further force and effect; or

(b) Exercisability Upon Satisfaction of VWAP Condition. Holder may exercise this Warrant on or before the Expiration Date beginning from the first date on which the VWAP for any thirty (30) consecutive calendar day period following the date hereof is equal to or greater than the Trigger Price.

3. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of Shares; Issuance of New Warrant; Put Rights. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the Warrant may be exercised, at the option of the Holder, by any one or combination of the following methods:

(a) Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised, by Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of the original of this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto) at the principal office of Company (as set forth in Section 20 below) and by providing payment to Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of an amount equal to the product of the Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased (the “Share Certificates”) shall be in the name of, and delivered to, Holder, or such other Person as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Cashless Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, if the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event Company shall issue to Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:


	X = Y	- (A)(Y)
		B

Where	X =	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

	Y =	the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

	A =	the Warrant Price.

	B =	the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Share Certificates shall be in the name of, and delivered to, Holder, or such other Person as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Loan Reduction Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised, by Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of the original of this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto) at the principal office of Company and by delivering to Company an executed amendment to the Credit Agreement among Grubb & Ellis Management Services, Inc., as Borrower, Grubb & Ellis Company, as Parent Guarantor, the Several Lenders from time to time parties thereto, and ColFin GNE Loan Funding, LLC, as Administrative Agent, dated as of April 15, 2011.

Such delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

(ii) Evaluation. Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies similar to Company so that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Company and has the capacity to protect its interests.

(iii) Resale. Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (collectively the “Securities”) for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Holder understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein and the other representations and warranties of Holder contained herein.

(iv) Rule 144. Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(v) Accredited Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

(vi) Opportunity To Discuss. Holder has read, understood, and is familiar with Company’s public filings available at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website and has had an opportunity to discuss Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and an opportunity to review Company’s facilities. Holder understands that such discussions, as well as the written information issued by Company, were intended to describe the aspects of Company’s business and prospects which Company believes to be material but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description.

(b) Representations and Warranties by Company. Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder as follows:

(i) Corporate Organization and Authority. Company (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing in its jurisdiction of incorporation, and (b) has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted.

(ii) Corporate Power. Company has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to execute, issue and deliver this Warrant, to issue the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, and to carry out and perform its obligations under this Warrant and any related agreements.

(iii) Authorization; Enforceability. All corporate action on the part of Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under this Warrant and for the authorization, issuance and delivery of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant has been taken and this Warrant constitutes the legally binding and valid obligation of Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, or to principles of equity.

(iv) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares. This Warrant has been validly issued and is free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer set forth herein and under applicable state and federal securities laws. The Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Warrant for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer set forth herein and under applicable state and federal securities laws. Subject to applicable restrictions on transfer, the issuance and delivery of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant are not subject to any preemptive or other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances except as specifically set forth in Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or this Warrant or except as created by Holder. Subject to the accuracy of Holder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 4(a), the offer, sale and issuance of the Warrant Shares, as contemplated by this Warrant, are exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable United States federal and state securities laws, and neither Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf has or will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

(v) No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Warrant will not result in (a) any violation of, conflict with, or constitute a default under, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice (1) any provision of Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws; (2) any provision of any material judgment, decree, or order to which Company is a party, by which it is bound, or to which any of its material assets are subject; (3) any material contract, obligation, or commitment to which Company is a party or by which it is bound; or (4) any material statute, rule, or governmental regulation applicable to Company, or (b) the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material assets of Company.

(vi) Capitalization. The capitalization table of Company attached hereto as Annex A is complete and accurate as of [ ] and reflects (a) all outstanding capital stock of Company and (b) all outstanding warrants, options, conversion privileges, preemptive rights or other rights or agreements to purchase or otherwise acquire or issue any equity securities or convertible securities of Company. Company has authorized the issuance of a total of 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 1,000,000 of which have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, and 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and no other shares of preferred stock have been designated or issued.

5. Legends.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (1) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING THE SECURITIES, (2) THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR (3) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COMPANY IS DELIVERED STATING THAT SUCH DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION (WHICH OPINION MAY BE RENDERED BY IN-HOUSE COUNSEL).

(b) Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. The legend relating to the Act endorsed on a certificate pursuant to paragraph 5(a) of this Warrant shall be removed and Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to Holder if (i) the Securities are registered under the Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is available, or (ii) Company has received an opinion of counsel (which may include the opinion of in-house counsel) reasonably satisfactory to Company to the effect that public sale, transfer or assignment of the Securities may be made without registration and without compliance with any restriction.

6. Conditions to Transfer or Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 6, this Warrant and the Warrant Shares represented hereby may be sold, transferred, conveyed or assigned by Holder.

(c) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares. For purposes of determining the adjusted number of Warrant Shares under Section 7(b) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 7(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than either of the Original Prices in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of Warrant Shares under Section 7(b)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 7(b)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 7(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than either of the Original Prices in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 7(b)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 7(b)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c)(iii), (A) no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (B) no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the number of Warrant Shares have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 7(c).

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 7(c)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 7) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is increased.

(iv) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 7 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by Company), the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 to the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued, provided that this Section 7(c)(iv) will not apply to the extent the Warrant is exercised.

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 7(c), any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by Company shall be the Per Share Market Value for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration shall be the dollar amount thereof and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined by an Independent Appraiser.

(vi) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares in accordance with this Section 7, in case Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be, provided such distribution is actually made.

(vii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 7.

(viii) Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7(c), if Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of Company, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined), retained such securities, cash or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 7 with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, cash or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities, cash or other property as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.

(d) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of Company payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately increased. If Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 7(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(e) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. Subject to Section 2(a), in the event of any (i) capital reorganization of Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of Company’s assets to another Person, (v) transaction constituting a Fundamental Change or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 7(d)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 7 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the event of a Fundamental Change, following which the Warrants would cease to represent the right to acquire securities, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to the terms hereof. The provisions of this Section 7(e) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Warrant is exercisable in accordance with Section 2 hereof with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7(e), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 3 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 7(e) with respect to this Warrant.

(f) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 7; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(f) shall decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

8. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the kind or number of securities issuable under this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Company shall prepare a certificate signed by an officer of Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and number or kind of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by certified or registered mail, return receipt required, postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days of such adjustment to Holder as set forth in Section 20 hereof.

9. Financial and Other Reports. From time to time up to the earlier of the Expiration Date or the complete exercise of this Warrant, Company shall furnish to Holder, if Company is a private company, (a) unaudited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements within 30 days of each fiscal month of each fiscal year, certified by Company’s president or chief financial officer, and (b) Company’s complete annual audited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements certified by an independent certified public accountant selected by Company within 120 days of the fiscal year end or, if sooner, promptly following such time as Company’s Board of Directors receives the audit. If Company is a publicly held company, it shall deliver to Holder quarterly unaudited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements and annual audited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements, certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants, within 5 days after the statements are required to be provided to the SEC. All such statements are to be prepared using GAAP and, if Company is a publicly held company, are to be in compliance with SEC requirements. At the time of Company’s delivery of quarterly financial statements in accordance with this Section 9, Company shall also deliver to Holder an updated capitalization table of Company in the form attached hereto as Annex A. For so long as Company is a privately held company, Holder agrees to hold in confidence and trust and not to improperly use or disclose any information provided to or learned by Holder in connection with its rights under this Section 9 regarding the business as conducted by Company as of today’s date on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 11.8 of the Credit Agreement.

10. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant is transferable on the books of Company at its principal office by the registered Holder upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with Section 6 and applicable federal and state securities laws. Company shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new Warrant representing the Warrant so transferred. Upon any partial transfer, Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to the Warrant not so transferred. Holder shall not have any right to transfer any portion of this Warrant to any direct competitor of Company or to any significant shareholder or any direct or indirect subsidiary of any such direct competitor of the Company which is known or should be known as such to the Holder.

11. Registration Rights. Company grants registration rights to Holder of this Warrant for any Common Stock of Company obtained by Holder upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of April 15, 2011 between Grubb & Ellis Company CDCF II GNE Holding, LLC and CFI GNE Warrant Investor, LLC and subject to pro rata limitations on the number of securities which can be included in a registration among other persons who have the right to register securities pursuant to “piggyback” rights afforded to such persons.

12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional share of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise or conversion hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional share Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect.

13. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder for any United States or state of the United States documentary stamp tax or other incidental expense with respect to the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of Holder.

14. No Shareholder Rights Until Exercise; Additional Rights. Except as expressly provided herein, this Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of Company prior to the exercise hereof. Company agrees that if it shall at any time in any manner grant to or confer upon any other holder of a warrant any right or benefit that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting the holder of any such warrant, in their capacity as holder of such warrant, in a manner more favorable than the rights and benefits established in favor of the Holder (“Additional Rights”) then, in each case, the Holder shall automatically and without further action on behalf of Holder or Company receive substantially the same rights and benefits as the Additional Rights afforded to such other holder of a warrant.

15. Registry of Warrant. Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of Company, and Company and Holder shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

16. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and, if mutilated, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant, having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant, in lieu hereof.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE [ ] SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Issue Date: [ ]

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [ ] (together with its transferees, “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase [ ] [( )]shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of fully paid and nonassessable $0.01 par value per share Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of Grubbs & Ellis Company, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), at the Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed in the Credit Agreement among Grubb & Ellis Management Services, Inc., as Borrower, Grubb & Ellis Company, as Parent Guarantor, the Several Lenders from time to time parties thereto, and ColFin GNE Loan Funding, LLC, as Administrative Agent, dated as of April 15, 2011 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

1. Warrant Price. The “Warrant Price” shall initially be one cent ($0.01) per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below.

(a) Exercisability Upon Satisfaction of Fundamental Change Condition. Holder may exercise this Warrant on or before the Expiration Date upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change in which the consideration received for each share of Common Stock has a fair market value equal to or greater than Seventy-One Cents ($0.71) per share (the “Trigger Price”); provided that if an Early Termination Event occurs this Warrant shall terminate and be of no further force and effect; or

In addition to any adjustments provided in Section 7 hereof, if in connection with any financing arrangement, the Issuer, its Affiliates or any subsidiary of the Issuer issues any Options, or other equity linked securities to purchase common stock of the Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer, with an exercise condition that is based on a share price that is lower than the Trigger Price, then the Trigger Price shall be adjusted downward (but not upward) to such lower price without any further action on the part of any party.

In addition to any adjustments provided in Section 7 hereof, to the extent that the Issuer, its Affiliates or any subsidiary of the Issuer issues any equity linked security or arrangement other than an Option in connection with a financing arrangement, the Trigger Price shall be equitably adjusted downward as is necessary to provide the Holders the result set forth above.

			B


Where	X =	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

	Y =	the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

	A =	the Warrant Price.

	B =	the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

(c) Loan Reduction Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised, by Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of the original of this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto) at the principal office of Company and by delivering to Company an executed amendment to the Credit Agreement, reducing the principal amount owed by an amount equal to the product of the Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, Share Certificates shall be in the name of, and delivered to, Holder, or such other Person as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

4. Representations and Warranties of Holder and Company.

(a) Representations and Warranties by Holder. Holder represents and warrants to Company with respect to this purchase as follows:

5. Legends.

7. Adjustment for Certain Events.

(a) Adjustment Exceptions. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 7 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 7); provided that this Section 7 will not apply to: (i) the issuance of any Additional Warrants; (ii) the issuance of any Common Stock upon the exercise of the Closing Date Warrants or any Additional Warrants; (iii) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company’s existing outstanding 12% cumulative participating perpetual convertible preferred stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of the 12% Cumulative Participating Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock as such conversion terms thereof are in effect as of April 15, 2011; (iv) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company’s existing outstanding 7.95% convertible senior securities due 2015, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Indenture for the 7.95% Convertible Senior Securities due 2015 as such conversion terms thereof are in effect as of April 15, 2011; and (v) the issuance of Common Stock as equity compensation to employees, officers, directors and independent contractor brokers (in each case including as inducements to new hires or appointees) (collectively the “Equity Compensation Grants”), provided that this exception to the adjustment provisions of this Section 7 is limited to the following Equity Compensation Grants: (A) the issuance of any shares of common stock pursuant to any outstanding (as of April 15, 2011) options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other equity grants (the “Existing Equity Compensation”), and (B) the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the form of options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other equity grants (the “Additional Equity Compensation”) and the issuance of the Common Stock underlying such Additional Equity Compensation plus any Additional Equity Compensation and any Existing Equity Compensation that is forfeited, expired or terminated provided that any amount issued in excess of the above will result in any requisite adjustment under this Section 7.

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); and

(c) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares. For purposes of determining the adjusted number of Warrant Shares under Section 7(b) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 7 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the event of a Fundamental Change, following which the Warrants would cease to represent the right to acquire securities, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to the terms hereof. The provisions of this Section 7(e) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Warrant is exercisable in accordance with Section 2 hereof with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7(e), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 3 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 7(e) with respect to this Warrant.

17. Definitions. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Board” means the board of directors of Company.

“Convertible Securities” means any securities (directly or indirectly) convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, but excluding Options.

18. Miscellaneous.

(c) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant.
