 4. BMP has expertise in the areas of finance, strategy, investment, acquisitions and other matters relating to the Company and its business and has facilitated the merger of Acquisition with and into the Company

analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy, other advice and negotiation assistance, which the Company believes will be beneficial to it, and BMP wishes to provide the services to the Company as set forth in this Agreement in
consideration of the payment of the fees described below. 
 In consideration of the premises and agreements contained herein and of other
good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 AGREEMENT

 SECTION 1. Transaction and Advisory Fee. In consideration of BMP performing financial and structuring analysis, due diligence
investigations, and other advice and negotiation assistance necessary in order to enable the Transactions to be consummated, the Company paid BMP, at the Effective Time (as defined herein), a transaction and advisory fee of $10,000,000. 







 SECTION 2. Appointment. Subject to Section 4(d), the Company appoints BMP to provide the services
described in the first sentence of Section 3(a) (the “Services”) for the term of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.
Services. 
 (a) During the term of this Agreement, BMP will render to the Company, by and through itself, its affiliates and such
respective officers, employees, representatives as BMP in its sole discretion may designate from time to time, such monitoring, advisory and consulting services in relation to the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries as the Company may
reasonably request, including, without limitation, (i) advice regarding the structure, terms, conditions and other provisions, distribution and timing of debt and equity offerings and advice regarding relationships with the Company’s and its
subsidiaries’ lenders and bankers, (ii) advice regarding dispositions and/or acquisitions and (iii) such other advice directly related or ancillary to the above financial advisory services as may be reasonably requested by the Company. However,
BMP will have no obligation to provide any other services to the Company absent agreement between BMP and the Company over the scope of such other services and the payment therefor. 
 (b) If the Company or any of its subsidiaries determines that it is advisable for the Company or such subsidiary to hire a financial advisor, consultant,
investment banker or any similar advisor in connection with any merger, acquisition, disposition, recapitalization, issuance of securities, financing or any similar transaction, it will notify BMP of such determination in writing. Promptly
thereafter, upon the request of BMP, the parties will negotiate in good faith to agree upon appropriate services, compensation and indemnification for the Company or such subsidiary to hire BMP or one of its affiliates for such services. The Company
and its subsidiaries may not hire any person, other than BMP or one of its affiliates, to perform any such services unless all of the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) the parties are unable to agree upon the terms of the engagement of
BMP or its affiliate to render such services after 30 days following receipt by BMP of such written notice, (ii) such other person has a reputation that is at least equal to the reputation of BMP in respect of such services, (iii) ten business days
have elapsed after the Company or such subsidiary provides a written notice to BMP of its intention to hire such other person, which notice shall identify such other person and shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the services to be
provided, the compensation to be paid and the indemnification to be provided, (iv) the compensation to be paid is not more than BMP or its affiliate was willing to accept in the negotiations described above and (v) the indemnification to be provided
is not more favorable to the Company or the applicable subsidiary than the indemnification that BMP or its affiliate was willing to accept in the negotiations described above. 
 SECTION 4. Fees. 
 (a) In
consideration of the Services being provided by BMP, (i) the Company paid to BMP a monitoring fee in the amount of $370,923.91 for the period from the Effective Time until 
  

 2 








 December 31, 2005, and (ii) the Company will pay to BMP an annual monitoring fee of $3,500,000 in cash (the
“Monitoring Fee”), payable quarterly in advance on the first day of each quarter, by wire transfer in same-day funds to the bank account designated by BMP, commencing as of January 1, 2006 and continuing through the Termination Date
(as defined below), or earlier termination pursuant to Section 4(d) below. Any Monitoring Fee for the last calendar year of this Agreement will be prorated for the period of such year ending on the Termination Date. 
 (b) To the extent the Company cannot pay the Monitoring Fee in cash for any reason, including by reason of constraints imposed by any debt financing of
the Company or its subsidiaries, the payment by the Company to BMP of the accrued and payable Monitoring Fee will be deferred until the earlier of (i) the date payment in cash of such deferred Monitoring Fee is not otherwise prohibited under any
contract applicable to the Company and is otherwise able to be made and (ii) total or partial liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Any installment of the Monitoring Fee not paid on the scheduled due date will bear interest at the
per annum rate of 10%, compounded quarterly, from the date due until the date of payment. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in subparagraph (a) above, BMP may elect at any time in connection with the consummation of a change of control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or an initial public offering of common stock of the Company
or its successor (or at any time thereafter) (which election can be made in its sole discretion by the delivery of written notice to the Company) to receive, in lieu of payment of the Monitoring Fee, a single lump sum cash payment equal to the then
present value (using a discount rate equal to the yield to maturity on the date of such written notice of the class of outstanding U.S. government bonds having a final maturity closest to the tenth anniversary of such written notice) of all then
current and future Monitoring Fees payable under this Agreement, assuming the Termination Date to be the tenth anniversary of the date of such election (the “Lump Sum Fee”). The Lump Sum Fee will be payable to BMP by wire transfer
in same-day funds to the bank account designated by BMP. Under no circumstances will such payment be subject to refund or reimbursement by BMP to the Company notwithstanding the subsequent occurrence of the Termination Date prior to such tenth
anniversary date. The Lump Sum Fee shall be deemed a termination fee to be paid in lieu of ongoing payment of the Monitoring Fee and provision of the Services and, following the payment of the Lump Sum Fee, the obligation of BMP to provide
the Services hereunder, and the obligations of the Company to pay the Monitoring Fee, shall be terminated, but all other provisions of this Agreement shall continue unaffected. 
 (d) To the extent the Company cannot pay any portion of the Lump Sum Fee in cash for any reason, including by reason of constraints imposed by any debt
financing of the Company or its subsidiaries, the payment by the Company to BMP of any unpaid portion of the Lump Sum Fee will be deferred until the earlier of (i) the date payment in cash of such deferred Lump Sum Fee is not otherwise prohibited
under any contract applicable to the Company and is otherwise able to be made and (ii) total or partial liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Any portion of the Lump Sum Fee not paid on the scheduled due date will bear interest at
the per annum rate of 10%, compounded quarterly, from the date due until the date of payment.

 SECTION 5. Reimbursements. In addition to the fees payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
will pay directly or reimburse BMP and each of its affiliates for their respective Out-of-Pocket Expenses (as defined below). For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Out-of-Pocket Expenses” means the out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by BMP, the Sponsors and their respective affiliates in connection with the Transactions and the Services rendered under this Agreement, or in order to make Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other
legally required filings relating to the Sponsor’s ownership of equity interests of the Company or its successor, or otherwise incurred by BMP, the Sponsors and their respective affiliates from time to time in the future in connection with the
ownership or subsequent sale or transfer by the sponsors of equity interests of the Company or its successor, including, without limitation, (a) fees and disbursements of any independent professionals and organizations, including independent
accountants, outside legal counsel or consultants, retained by BMP, the Sponsors or any of their respective affiliates, (b) costs of any outside services or independent contractors such as financial printers, couriers, business publications, on-line
financial services or similar services, retained or used by BMP, the Sponsors or any of their respective affiliates and (c) transportation, per diem costs, word processing expenses or any similar expense not associated with its or its
affiliates’ ordinary operations. All payments or reimbursements for Out-of-Pocket Expenses will be made by wire transfer in same-day funds to the bank account designated by BMP or its relevant affiliate (if such Out-of-Pocket Expenses were
incurred by BMP, the Sponsors or their respective affiliates) promptly upon or as soon as practicable following request for reimbursement in accordance with this Agreement, to the account indicated to the Company by the relevant payee. 

SECTION 6. Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless BMP, its affiliates and their respective partners (both general and
limited), members (both managing and otherwise), officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities,
whether joint or several (the “Liabilities”), related to, arising out of or in connection with the Services (including prior to the Effective Time) contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of BMP pursuant to, and the
performance by BMP of the Services contemplated by, this Agreement, 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 or on behalf of the Company. The Company will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and 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 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 primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.
The attorneys’ fees and other expenses of an Indemnified Party will be paid by the Company as they are incurred conditioned 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 primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

 SECTION 7. Accuracy of Information to be Provided. The Company will furnish or cause to be
furnished to BMP such information as BMP believes reasonably appropriate to its services hereunder and to the ownership by the Sponsors of equity interests of the Company (all such information so furnished, the “Information”).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees to furnish to BMP on a monthly financial data of the type customarily prepared by the Company for senior management, except to the extent that the Company and BMP may otherwise
mutually agree with respect to the extent and/or the frequency of the data to be so furnished to BMP. The Company recognizes and confirms that BMP (a) will use and rely primarily on the Information and on information available from generally
recognized public sources in performing the Services contemplated by this Agreement without having independently verified the same, (b) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information and such other information and
(c) is entitled to rely upon the Information without independent verification. Even after the Services are no longer being provided, so long as affiliates of BMP continue to hold shares representing at least the lesser of (x) 5% of outstanding
shares or (y) shares having an aggregate market value of $50 million, the Company will continue to provide to BMP such monthly, quarterly, semiannual and annual financial information and operating data as BMP may reasonably request, so long as such
information is reasonably available to the Company. BMP and its affiliates will hold the Information and any other information and data provided in accordance with this Section 7 in confidence in accordance with the requirements of Regulation FD of
the SEC (to the extent applicable).

following the payment of the Monitoring Fee in accordance with Section 4(c) and (c) such earlier date as the Company and BMP may mutually agree upon. The provisions of Sections 3(b), 4(b), 4(d), 5 (with respect to Out-of-Pocket Expenses that were
incurred prior to or within a reasonable period of time after the Termination Date but have not been paid to BMP in accordance with Section 5), 6, 7 and 9 will survive the termination of this Agreement.
