Agreement such directors, officers, employees and agents of the Service Provider
as the Service Provider shall deem appropriate to the furnishing of the Services
required. The fees and other compensation payable to the Service Provider under
this Agreement shall be paid by the Company regardless of the extent of Services
requested by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and regardless of whether

3.Fees.
(a)    Services Fees.  During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Service
Provider (or its designee) an annual fee for the Services (“Services Fee”), in
an amount equal to the product of (x) 0.305% of the aggregate sum invested (as
of the time of determination, taking into account any reduction in the sum
invested, including as a result of any Exit Event) directly or indirectly by the
Consortium Members, their Affiliates and any Person investing by means of a
Permitted Syndication Transfer or a transaction deemed to be a Permitted
Syndication Transfer (whether through the subscription for debt and equity
securities or otherwise) in the Company Group and (y) the Sharing Percentage (as
of the time of determination). In each year of the Term, the Services Fee and
the Sharing Percentage shall be determined on, and the Services Fee shall be
payable in advance in four quarterly installments due on each of, January 1,
April 1, July 1 and October 1, or if any such date shall not be a Business Day,
on the immediately preceding Business Day. The initial annual Services Fee is
currently expected to be $1,718,150.21. Upon the execution of this Agreement,

the October 1, 2011 quarterly installment in the amount of $272,040.45.

(including travel expenses and the fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys
and other advisors retained by the Service Provider) incurred by the Service
Provider and its directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, or
designees in connection with the rendering of Services pursuant to this
Agreement. Such expenses shall be reimbursed by wire transfer of immediately
available funds promptly upon the request of the Service Provider (but in any
case no later than five (5) Business Days following such request) and shall be
in addition to any other fees or amounts payable to the Service Provider
pursuant to this Agreement.
5.Payment of Fees & Other Amounts.  All fees, compensation and other amounts
payable to the Service Provider and/or its designee(s) pursuant to this
Agreement shall be paid by the Company by wire transfer of

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Service Provider
or its designee(s) to the Company, except that, solely with respect to the fees
set forth in Section 3(a), such fees may be payable other than in cash at the
discretion of the board of directors of the Service Provider. For purposes of
the calculations under this Agreement a year has three hundred and sixty (360)
days.
6.Term.
(a)    This Agreement shall remain in effect until the parties hereto mutually
agree in writing to terminate this Agreement (the “Term”), in which case this
Agreement shall terminate on the date which is a following anniversary of the
date hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement shall automatically
terminate (i) upon any Exit Event other than an Initial Public Offering and (ii)
immediately following the consummation of an Initial Public Offering unless the
Company, by delivery of a written notice to the Service Provider prior to such
consummation, otherwise elects to continue this Agreement in full force and
effect. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Service
Provider in cash (i) all unpaid fees and expenses due hereunder and (ii), if
this Agreement terminates in connection with an Exit Event, the net present
value (using a discount rate equal to the yield as of such termination date on
U.S. Treasury securities of like maturity based on the time such payments would
have been due) of the Services Fees that would have been payable with respect to
the period from the termination date through the twelfth (12th) anniversary of
the Closing, or, if terminated following the twelfth (12th) anniversary of the
Closing, through the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing occurring after the
termination date (such net present value, the “Termination Fee”); provided that,
for purposes of calculating such net present value, the amount of the Services
Fees that would have been payable with respect to a period shall be calculated
based on (x) the aggregate sum invested directly or indirectly by the Consortium
Members and their Affiliates immediately prior to such termination and (y) the
Sharing Percentage in effect immediately prior to such termination.
(b)    Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement in its entirety in
accordance with this Section 6, (23) the provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 5 shall
survive until all amounts due and payable thereunder are paid, (23) the
provisions of Section 7 shall survive until the final liquidation and
dissolution of the Company and (23) the provisions of this Section 6 and
Sections 8 through 20 shall survive indefinitely.
7.Regulatory Compliance.  The Service Provider shall have the right to assign or
otherwise restructure any amounts payable to the Service Provider hereunder to
ensure regulatory compliance by the Service Provider, its Affiliates and
designees.
8.Indemnification.  The Company agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold free and
harmless the Service Provider and each of its partners, shareholders, members,
controlling persons, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers,
employees and agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members,
controlling persons, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers,
employees, agents and professional advisors of each of the foregoing
(collectively, “Related Persons” and, together with the Service Provider , the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses (including any
expense relating to enforcement of rights and obligations hereunder and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
investigation, settlement and/or defense thereof, including in respect of third
party claims), awards or settlements incurred by an Indemnitee (a “Loss”,
provided that, for avoidance of doubt, the term “Loss” shall not be deemed to
include any diminution in value of the investment by the Service Provider’s
affiliated investment funds (including without limitation the Consortium Members
and their Affiliates), directly or indirectly, in the Company) before or after
the date of this Agreement and arising out of, resulting from, or relating to:
(23) this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder, (23) the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (23) any advice or other Services provided
by the Service Provider to the Company whether before, after or on the date
hereof or (23) any indemnities or “hold harmless” obligations entered into by
the Service Provider or any of its Related Persons with any auditor, service
providers, consultant or other person in connection with the transaction
contemplated by the Merger Agreement; provided, that the Company will only be
required to indemnify, exonerate and hold free and harmless such Indemnitees
from such Losses to the extent that such Losses

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

are attributable to the actions or omissions of or otherwise attributable to the
Company; provided further, that the foregoing indemnification rights shall not
be available to the extent that (a) any such Losses are incurred as a result of
such Indemnitee’s willful misconduct or fraud or (b) subject to the rights of
contribution provided for below, to the extent indemnification for any Losses
would violate any applicable law or regulation, in each case, as determined by a
final non-appealable ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction. In any action,
suit or proceeding against any Indemnitee relating to or arising out of, or
alleged to relate to or to arise out of, any such action or non-action, the
Indemnitee shall have the right jointly to employ, at the expense of the
Company, counsel of the Indemnitee’s choice, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, in such action, suit or proceeding. The
indemnification rights contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in
addition to any and all other rights, remedies and recourse to which an
Indemnitee, its heirs, successors, assignees and administrators are entitled.
The indemnification provided in this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the
heirs, successors, assignees and administrators of each of the Indemnitees. If
the indemnification provided for above is unavailable in respect of any Losses,
then, in lieu of indemnifying an Indemnitee, the Company agrees to contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand, and
such Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the actions which
resulted in such Losses, as well as any other equitable considerations.
9.Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability.
(a)    The Service Provider makes no representations or warranties, express or
implied, in respect of any of the Services to be rendered by it hereunder. In no
event shall any Indemnitee be liable to any member of the Company Group for any
act, alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute fraud or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable
determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)    In no event will any Indemnitee be liable to any member of the Company
Group or to any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents for
any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including,
without limitation, lost profits or savings, whether or not such damages are
foreseeable, or for any third-party claims (whether based in contract, tort or
otherwise), relating to the Services to be provided hereunder.
(c)    Each Indemnitee shall have the right to (23) engage or invest in the same
or similar business activities or lines of business as any member of the Company
Group and (23) conduct business with any client or customer of any member of the
Company Group. No Indemnitee shall be liable to any member of the Company Group
for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of any such
activities.
(d)    In the event that any Indemnitee acquires knowledge of a potential
transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for any member of the
Company Group on the one hand, and any Indemnitee, (or another Person, including
without limitation, any Consortium Member, any Affiliate of a Consortium Member,
any other client of the Indemnitee or any investment made by such person or
client), on the other hand, no Indemnitee shall have any duty (contractual or
otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to any member of
the Company Group and, notwithstanding any provision hereunder, no Indemnitee
shall be liable to any member of the Company Group for breach of any duty
(contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that any Indemnitee directly or
indirectly pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such
opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to any
member of the Company Group.
10.Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered
personally, or if by facsimile, upon written confirmation of receipt by
facsimile, (b) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if
delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier or (c)
