When the Executive's employment with the Company terminates, or upon request of the Company at any time, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company all Company equipment in the Executive's possession or control (including, but not limited to computers, telephones, ipads and other hardware) and shall either return or certify that he has taken commercially reasonable measures to destroy all other Company Property located on electronic servers, computer networks or other drives and certify to such destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be entitled to retain a copy of the Executive's electronic rolodex, in whatever format.

"Disparaging" remarks, comments or statements are those that place the Person being disparaged in a false or negative light or that otherwise impugn the character, honesty, integrity, morality, acumen, abilities, conduct or operations of the Person being disparaged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude truthful disclosures in response to lawful process as required by applicable law, regulation, or order or directive of a court, governmental agency or regulatory organization or prevent the Executive from taking good faith actions to enforce this Agreement or to assert other claims against the Company or any other Person that have not been waived pursuant to the Release. This Section 6. 7 may only be enforced against the Executive by the Company, COAC or CCP.
6.8    Judicial Modification. If, at any time, the provisions of this Section 6 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of activity, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and shall become and be immediately amended as to only such area, duration and scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter, and the Executive and the Company agree that this Agreement as so amended shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.
6.9    Tolling. The periods during which the covenants set forth in this Section 6 shall survive shall be tolled during (and shall be deemed automatically extended by) any period during which the Executive is in violation of any such covenants, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
6.10    Executive Rights. The Parties agree that nothing contained in this Agreement limits the Executive's ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (each, a "Government Agency''). The Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit the Executive's ability to communicate with any Government Agency, including to report possible violations of federal law or regulation or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation, or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. This Agreement does not limit the Executive's right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agency. The Executive will not be criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

7.    Remedies; Specific Performance.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Executive's breach or threatened breach of any of the restrictions set forth in Section 6 can result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Protected Parties for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and that the Company, any of its subsidiaries, and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (each an "Enforcing Person") shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach or threatened or attempted breach. The Executive also agrees that such remedies shall be in addition to any and all remedies, including damages, available to the Enforcing Person's against him for such breaches or threatened or attempted breaches. In addition, without limiting the Enforcing Person's remedies for any breach of any restriction on the Executive set forth in Section 6, except as required by law, if the Board determines, in good faith, that the Executive has Materially breached the covenants applicable to the Executive contained in Section 6, the Board shall send written notice to the Executive identifying the act or omission alleged to constitute a Material breach of the covenants in Section 6. Except in the case where the alleged breach is of Section 6.5, such notice shall also provide the Executive (i) with an opportunity to appear at a meeting of the Board (it being agreed that such meeting may be telephonic, in person or otherwise as permitted by law and the governing documents of the Company) with counsel to discuss the circumstances constituting the alleged Material breach and (ii) a period of 15 days following such Board appearance to cure the Material breach, if curable.
In the event that, following the Executive's appearance before the Board, the Board determines that a Material breach of the covenants in Section 6 has occurred, and in the further event that the Board reasonably determines that such breach is not cured, then from and after the end of the cure period, in lieu of continuing to pay to the Executive the payments set forth in Section 5 hereof (other than Accrued Benefits), the Company shall pay such amounts, and any amounts payable in respect of the Equity Award, to an unaffiliated bank, to be held in escrow.
In the event of a final and binding judicial determination that the Executive Materially breached the covenants applicable to the Executive contained in Section 6, the Executive shall forfeit any rights to the amounts held in escrow and shall not be entitled to any further amounts payable in respect of the Equity Award or pursuant to Section 5 hereof (other than Accrued Benefits).
In the event of a final and binding judicial determination that the Executive has not Materially breached the covenants applicable to the Executive contained in Section 6, or at such earlier time as the Company and the Executive may agree, any and all amounts in escrow shall be promptly distributed to the Executive, and the Executive shall receive payment of any remaining amounts set forth in Section 5 hereof.
In the event that either Party seeks to enforce any part of this Agreement through a legal proceeding, the non-prevailing party in such proceeding agrees to pay the prevailing party in such proceeding any reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith. For purposes of this paragraph, "Material" or "Materially" shall mean a material adverse effect on the Company, its subsidiaries, COAC, or Cerberus Capital Management; provided that, the Parties agree that any breach of Section 6.5 by the Executive shall be treated as Material.

8.    Indemnification. During the Term and at all times thereafter, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Executive, his heirs and estate harmless from, and to reimburse any of the foregoing within forty-five (45) days, for reasonable legal fees incurred by any of the foregoing in connection with, any and all claims, liabilities, demands, allegations, causes of action, or other threats, related to and in any way arising out of the services provided by the Executive for or on behalf of the Company or any its subsidiaries or for or on behalf of any other Person at the request of the Company, to the fullest extent possible under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law in effect from time to time, provided, however, that this indemnification shall not apply to acts or omissions that are the result of conduct that would preclude the Executive from receiving indemnification under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law in effect from time to time. Upon receipt of notice of the assertion of any such claim, liability, demand, allegation, cause of action or other threat, the Company shall pay the Executive the reasonable cost of his defense, and shall be responsible for the full payment of any judgment including damages or penalties, including punitive damages or penalties, that may be assessed or payable as a result of a settlement to which the Company and the Executive consent, including the deductible portion of any Joss covered by Director and Officer Liability Insurance, applicable to similarly situated employees. Nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Executive or any other party indemnified under this Section 8 to the protections afforded by the Directors and Officers Liability Insurance, as in effect from time to time, or to such other protections as may be afforded to the Executive and such other parties under the Company's certificate of formation, bylaws or limited liability company agreement or operating agreement or under any other agreement, policy or procedure. The Executive shall be covered under the Company's Directors and Officers Liability Insurance during the Term and thereafter to the same extent and post-employment duration of such coverage provided from time to time to executive officers of the Company. In the event it is ultimately determined that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Section 8, the Executive shall reimburse the Company for such expenses previously paid by the Company on behalf of the Executive pursuant to this Section 8.

If the payments are delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6) month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without 


19






resulting in a prohibited distribution), the Company shall pay the Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Executive during such period, plus interest credited from the date of the Executive's separation from service to the date of payment at the "applicable federal rate" provided for in Section 7872(1)(2)(A) of the Code in effect as of the date of such separation from service. The right to receive any installment payments under Section 5 of this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive's taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.
