The Corporation agrees to consider, in good faith, the recommendations of the Apollo Group in connection with the matters on which the Corporation is consulted as described above.  Subject to Section 4.2, any member of the Apollo Group (and any party receiving Information from such member of the Apollo Group) who shall receive Information shall maintain the confidentiality of such Information, and the Corporation shall not be required to provide such portions of any Information containing attorney-client, work product or similar privileged information of the Corporation or other information required by the Corporation to be kept confidential pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality agreement with a third Person or applicable law, so long as the Corporation has used its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to the Apollo Group without the loss of any such privilege or without violating such confidentiality obligation.  
Section 4.4    Sharing of Information.  Individuals associated with Holdings may from time to time serve on the Board of Directors or the equivalent governing body of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries.

The Corporation, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably consents to such sharing.  In the event that Holdings or any of its representatives are requested or required by law, regulation or legal or regulatory process to disclose any non-public Information concerning the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, Holdings or such representative may disclose only that portion of the requested information which it is advised by counsel is required by law, regulation or legal or regulatory process to be disclosed so long as Holdings or such representatives uses reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that such disclosed information will be afforded confidential treatment.

(b)    The Corporation agrees to (i) include the Stockholder Nominees in the slate of persons nominated and recommended by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) for election to the Board of Directors at every meeting (or action by written consent without a meeting) of stockholders of the Corporation at which directors are to be elected, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the election of each such Stockholder Nominee to the Board of Directors, including soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof to the same or greater extent as it does so in favor of the other members of such slate, (iii) not permit the number of persons nominated or recommended by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) to exceed the number of directorships to be elected at such meeting (or by such action by written consent without a meeting) and (iv) use its best efforts to cause each class of the Board of Directors to include, to the extent practicable, at least one Stockholder Nominee.
(c)    The Corporation shall take all action within its control so that a Stockholder Nominee will not be removed from the Board of Directors without the approval of Holdings, so long as the Percentage Interest of the Apollo Group and its Permitted Transferees continues to equal or exceed 5%.  If Holdings notifies the Apollo Group of its desire to remove, for any reason or no reason, any Stockholder Nominee from the Board of Directors, the Apollo Group shall vote or cause to be voted all of the shares of Voting Securities beneficially owned by the Apollo Group for the removal of such Stockholder Nominee, and the Corporation shall take all required action, if any, to permit the taking of such vote and removal by the Apollo Group.
(d)    In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any director who was a Stockholder Nominee, the Corporation agrees to take at any time and from time to time all actions necessary to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled as promptly as practicable by a new Stockholder Nominee; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Holdings shall not have the right to nominate a new Stockholder Nominee, and the Board of Directors and the Apollo Group shall not be required to take any action to cause any vacancy to be filled with any such new Stockholder Nominee, to the extent that election or appointment of such new Stockholder Nominee to the Board of Directors would result in a number of Stockholder Nominees serving on the Board of Directors being in excess of the number of Stockholder Nominees to which Holdings is then entitled pursuant to Section 5.2(a).
(e)    If the number of directors entitled to be nominated as Stockholder Nominees pursuant to Section 5.2(a) decreases, the Stockholder Nominee(s) then in office as directors need not resign from the Board of Directors at or prior to the end of such director’s term and, if the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) recommends the nomination of such director(s) for election at the next annual meeting coinciding with the end of such director’s term or otherwise is reelected to the Board of Directors thereafter, such director shall no longer be considered a Stockholder Nominee.


11









Section 5.5    Committees.  For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Corporation shall take all necessary actions to cause to be appointed to each committee of the Board of Directors a number of Stockholder Nominees that is as proportionate (rounding up to the next whole director) to the number of members of such committee as is the number of Stockholder Nominees that Holdings is entitled to nominate to the Board of Directors under this Agreement to the number of directorships constituting the Entire Board, in each case to the extent such directors are permitted to serve on such committee under the applicable rules of the SEC and any applicable stock exchange. It is understood by the parties hereto that Holdings shall not have any obligation to appoint any Stockholder Nominee to any committee of the Board of Directors and any failure to exercise such right in this section in a prior period shall not constitute any waiver of such right in a subsequent period.
ARTICLE VI     
INDEMNIFICATION

The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, VoteCo, each Stockholder, its Affiliates and its direct and indirect partners (including partners of partners and stockholders and members of partners), members, stockholders, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls any of them within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Covered Persons”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) sustained or suffered by any such Covered Person based upon, relating to, arising out of, or by reason of any third party or governmental claims relating to such Covered Person’s status as a Covered Person (including any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, which relate directly or indirectly to the registration, purchase, sale or ownership of any Equity Securities of the Corporation or to any fiduciary obligation owed with respect thereto), including in connection with any third party or governmental action or claim relating to any action taken or omitted to be taken or alleged to have been taken or omitted to have been taken by any Covered Person as a stockholder or controlling person, including claims alleging so-called control person liability or securities law liability (any such claim, a “Claim”).

Section 6.4    Prepayment of Expenses.  To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Corporation shall pay the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Claim in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of such Claim shall be made only 


12









upon receipt of an undertaking by such Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE VI or otherwise.
Section 6.5    Claims.  If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this ARTICLE VI is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Covered Person has been received by the Corporation, such Covered Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim.  In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. 
Section 6.6    Nonexclusivity of Rights.  The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this ARTICLE VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. 
Section 6.7    Other Sources.  Subject to Section 6.6, the Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Covered Person shall be reduced by any amount such Covered Person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from any other Person.
Section 6.8    Indemnitor of First Resort.  The Corporation hereby acknowledges that the Covered Persons may have certain rights to advancement and/or indemnification by certain Affiliates of the Apollo Group (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”).  In all events, (i) the Corporation hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligation to a Covered Person to provide advancement and/or indemnification to such Covered Person is primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors (including any Affiliate thereof other than the Corporation) to provide advancement or indemnification hereunder or under any other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to contract, by-laws or charter), or any obligation of any insurer of the Fund Indemnitors to provide insurance coverage, for the same expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by such Covered Person is secondary and (ii) if any Fund Indemnitor (or any Affiliate thereof, other than the Corporation) pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder or under any other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to contract, by-laws or charter) with such Covered Person, then (x) such Fund Indemnitor (or such Affiliate, as the case may be) shall be fully subrogated to all rights of such Covered Person with respect to such payment and (y) the Corporation shall fully indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless such Fund Indemnitor (or such other Affiliate, as the case may be) for all such payments actually made by such Fund Indemnitor (or such other Affiliate, as the case may be).
