connection with such Future Transaction by one or more unaffiliated third
parties and (ii) the amount of such additional compensation is comparable to the

arm153s length transaction to third parties rendering similar services to the

faith negotiations, on an appropriate increase in the Management Fee as
warranted by the increase in the consolidated size of the Company. Such increase

elapsed in the then applicable quarter in which such transaction is consummated.

of such payments to any other person, entity or creditor of the Company or its
subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the other Manager). Any such
forbearance shall be at such Manager153s sole option and discretion and shall in
no way impair such Manager153s right to collect such payments or the other

Management Fee not paid on the scheduled due date shall not bear interest.

circumstances. The Lump Sum Fee shall be apportioned such that each Manager
shall receive 50% of the Lump Sum Fee. Upon the giving of such notice, the
obligation of each Manager to provide the Services hereunder, and the

expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises
and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and reasonable
expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim),
including in connection with seeking indemnification, whether joint or several
(the “Liabilities“), related to, arising out of or in
connection with (a) the Transactions, the Services or other services
contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of the Managers pursuant to,
and the performance by the Managers of the Services or other services
contemplated by, this Agreement, (b) such Manager153s or its respective
affiliates153 ownership of Shares (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) or
any other securities of Parent or any of its subsidiaries, or such Manager153s or
its affiliates153 control or ability to influence Parent or any of its
subsidiaries (other than any such Liabilities to the extent such Liabilities
arise out of any breach of the Shareholders Agreement by such Indemnified Party
or its affiliates or the breach of any fiduciary or other duty or obligation of
such Indemnified Party to its direct or indirect equity holders, creditors or
affiliates) or (c) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights
or liabilities of Parent or any of its subsidiaries, in each case, whether or
not pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party,
whether or not resulting in any liability and whether or not such action, claim,
suit, investigation or proceeding is initiated or brought by Parent, Holdings,
the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries; provided that if and
to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable
for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified Liabilities which is
permissible under applicable law. The Company will reimburse any Indemnified
Party for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys153
fees and expenses and any other litigation-related expenses) as they are
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, defending or
assisting in the defense of any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding
for which the Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under the
terms of the previous sentence, or any action or proceeding arising therefrom,
whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto. The Company agrees
that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or
threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated
hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been threatened to be
made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability, without
future obligation or prohibition on the part of the Indemnified Party, arising
or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding, and does not contain
an admission of guilt or liability on the part of the Indemnified Party. The
Company will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision with
respect to any particular loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense of an
Indemnified Party that is determined by a court, in a final judgment from which
no further appeal may be taken, to have resulted solely from the willful
misconduct, bad faith or fraud of such Indemnified Party. The attorneys153 fees
and other expenses of an Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Company as they
are incurred upon receipt, in each case, of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Party to repay such amounts if it is finally judicially
determined that the Liabilities in question resulted solely from the willful
misconduct, bad faith or fraud of such Indemnified Party. For the avoidance of
doubt, in no event shall Parent, Holdings, the Company or any of their
respective subsidiaries have any liability to any Indemnified Party for any
Liabilities arising from any failure to agree to any conditions, restrictions,
obligations or requirements in connection with applicable antitrust laws, except
to the extent such failure arises in connection with a transaction in which
Parent, Holdings, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries are party.

(c) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous oral and
written (and all contemporaneous oral) negotiations, commitments, agreements and
understandings relating hereto.

(d) This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York.

(e) Each party to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, (i) hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in New York County, New York for the purpose of any action,
claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry,
proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon this Agreement or
relating to the subject matter hereof, (ii) hereby waives to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, and agrees not to allow
any of its subsidiaries to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise,
in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune
from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in one of the
above-named courts is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter
hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (iii) hereby
agrees not to commence or maintain any action, claim, cause of action or suit
(in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation arising
out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof or
thereof other than before one of the above-named courts nor to make any motion
or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal
of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or
otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation to any court other than one of
the above-named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or
otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any party hereto is
or becomes a party in any litigation in connection with which it may assert
indemnification rights set forth in this agreement, the court in which such
litigation is being heard shall be deemed to be included in clause (i) above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party to this Agreement may commence and
maintain an action to enforce a judgment of any of the above-named courts in any
court of competent jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby consents to service of
process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by New York law, and
agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof is
reasonably calculated to give actual notice.

(f) Each of the parties hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any
action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or
otherwise) directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

12


(g) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may
be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of both Managers;
provided, however, that each Manager may assign or transfer its
duties or interests hereunder to any of its affiliates (other than any portfolio
companies affiliated with such Manager) at the sole discretion of such Manager.
Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns. Subject to the next sentence, no person or party other than the
parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns is intended
to be a beneficiary of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that
(i) each of the Indemnified Party-Related Entities shall be third-party
beneficiaries with respect to Section 6 hereof and (ii) each of the
Indemnified Parties shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to
Sections 6 and 9 hereof, in each case entitled to enforce such
provisions as though each such Indemnified Party-Related Entity or Indemnified
Party, as applicable, were a party to this Agreement.

(h) This Agreement may be executed by one or more parties to this Agreement
on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile), and all of said
counterparts taken together will be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

(i) Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction will, 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 will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

(j) Each payment made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid
by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to such account or
accounts as specified by the Managers to the Company prior to such payment.
