the financing of certain of the Transactions as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. 
 4. The Company desires to avail itself, for the term
of this Agreement, of BMP’s expertise in providing financial and structural analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy, other advice and negotiation assistance, which the Company believes will be beneficial to it, and BMP
desires to provide the services to the Company as set forth in this Agreement in consideration of the payment of the fees described below. 
 5. The rendering by BMP of the services described in this Agreement and the funding of equity by certain Affiliates (as defined below) of BMP (the “Affiliated Investors”) has been made and will be made on the basis that the
Company will pay, or cause to be paid, 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 M&A Advisory Fees. In consideration of BMP undertaking financial and structural analysis, due
diligence investigations, corporate strategy and other advice and negotiation assistance necessary in order to enable the Transactions to be consummated, the Company will pay BMP at the closing of the Merger (hereinafter referred to as the
“Effective Time”) a non-refundable and irrevocable transaction fee of $21,625,000. 
 Section 2. Appointment. The
Company hereby engages BMP to render the Services (as defined below) on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. 







 SECTION 3. Services. 
 (a) BMP agrees that until the Termination Date (as defined below) or the earlier termination of its obligations under this Section 3(a) pursuant to
Section 4(f) hereof, it will render to the Company, by and through itself and its affiliates and such of their respective officers, employees, representatives, agents and third parties as BMP in its sole discretion may designate from time to
time (its “Affiliates”), advisory and consulting services in relation to the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, (i) advice regarding the structure, distribution and timing of private or
public debt or equity offerings and advice regarding relationships with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ lenders and bankers, including in relation to the selection, retention and supervision of independent auditors, outside legal
counsel, investment bankers or other financial advisors or consultants, (ii) advice regarding the strategy of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iii) advice regarding the structuring and implementation of equity participation plans,
employee benefit plans and other incentive arrangements for certain key executives of the Company, (iv) general advice regarding dispositions and/or acquisitions and (v) such other advice directly related or ancillary to the above
financial advisory services as may be reasonably requested by the Company (collectively, the “Services”). However, BMP will have no obligation to provide any other services to the Company absent an agreement between BMP and the
Company over the scope of such other services and the payment therefor. 
 (b) It is expressly agreed that the Services to be rendered
hereunder will not include investment banking or other financial advisory services which may be provided by BMP or any of its Affiliates to the Company, or any of its affiliates, in connection with any specific acquisition, divestiture, disposition,
merger, consolidation, restructuring, refinancing, recapitalization, issuance of private or public debt or equity securities (including, without limitation, an initial public offering of equity securities), financing or similar transaction by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries. BMP may be entitled to receive additional compensation for providing services of the type specified in the preceding sentence by mutual agreement of the Company or such subsidiary, on the one hand, and BMP or its
relevant Affiliates, on the other hand. In the absence of an express agreement regarding compensation for services performed by BMP or any of its Affiliates in connection with any such transaction specified in this Section 3(b), and without
regard to whether any such services were performed, BMP shall be entitled to receive upon consummation of: 
 (i) any such
acquisition, divestiture, disposition, merger, consolidation, restructuring or recapitalization, a non-refundable and irrevocable fee equal to (x) 1% of the aggregate enterprise value of the acquired, divested, merged, consolidated,
restructured or recapitalized entity (calculated, on a consolidated basis for such entity, as the sum of (1) the market value of its common equity (or the fair market value thereof if not publicly traded), (2) the value of its preferred
stock (at liquidation value), (3) the book value of its minority interests and (4) its aggregate long- and short-term debt, less its cash and cash equivalents), or (y) if such transaction is structured as an asset purchase or sale, 1%
of the consideration paid for or received in respect of the assets acquired or disposed of; 
 (ii) any such refinancing, a
non-refundable and irrevocable fee equal to 1% of the aggregate value of the securities subject to such refinancing; and 
 (iii) any such issuance, a non-refundable and irrevocable fee equal to 1% of the aggregate value of the securities subject to such issuance. 
 (c) Without affecting the rights of BMP under Section 3(b) hereof, 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 acquisition, divestiture, disposition,
merger, consolidation, restructuring, refinancing, recapitalization, issuance of private or public debt or equity securities (including, without limitation, an initial public offering of equity securities), financing or 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 or its Affiliate 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. Advisory Fee. 
 (a) In consideration of the Services being rendered by BMP, the Company will pay, or will cause to be paid, to BMP an annual non-refundable and
irrevocable advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”; the term “Advisory Fee” as used in this Agreement with respect to any annual period means all amounts payable with respect to such annual period pursuant to Sections 4(b) or
(c) hereof, as applicable; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the minimum annual Advisory Fee payable to BMP shall be $2,500,000). 
 (b) The Advisory Fee for the year ending December 31, 2007 shall be equal to $2,500,000, which shall be paid, or caused to be paid, by the Company
at the Effective Time in respect of Services to be rendered from the Effective Time to December 31, 2007. 
 (c) The Advisory Fee for
fiscal year 2008 and each subsequent year shall be equal to the greater of $2,500,000 or 1% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement among the Company, Peak Finance Holdings LLC, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as Syndication Agent and Lender, Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd and General Electric Capital Corporation, as Co-Documentation Agents and as Lenders and each
lender from time to time party thereto). The Company will pay, or cause to be paid, to BMP, such Advisory Fee on January 1, 2008, and thereafter on January 1 of each subsequent year. 
 (d) In the event the Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into a business combination transaction with another entity that is large enough to
constitute a “significant subsidiary” of the Company under any of the relevant tests contained in Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company and BMP will mutually agree, following good faith
negotiations, on an appropriate increase in the minimum annual Advisory Fee as warranted by the increase in the Company’s size. Such increase will be based on the percentage increase in the Company’s EBITDA determined on a pro forma basis
giving effect to such business combination transaction. 







 (e) To the extent the Company cannot pay, or cause to be paid, the Advisory Fee for any reason, including
by reason of any prohibition on such payment pursuant to any applicable law or the terms of any debt financing of the Company or its subsidiaries, the payment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to BMP of the accrued and payable Advisory Fee
will be payable immediately on the earlier of (i) the first date on which the payment of such deferred Advisory Fee is no longer prohibited under any contract applicable to the Company and the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, is
otherwise able to make such payment, or cause such payment to be made, and (ii) total or partial liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under any applicable law or under any
contract applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries, any forbearance of collection of the Advisory Fee by BMP shall not be deemed to be a subordination of such payments to any other person, entity or creditor of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Any such forbearance shall be at BMP’s sole option and discretion and shall in no way impair BMP’s right to collect such payments. Any installment of the Advisory Fee not paid on the scheduled due date will bear interest, payable in cash
on each scheduled due date, at an annual rate of 10%, compounded quarterly, from the date due until paid. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, BMP may elect (in its sole discretion by the delivery of written notice to the Company) at any time in connection with or in anticipation of a change of control of the Company, a sale of all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets or an initial public offering of the equity of the Company or its successor or any controlling person thereof (or at any time thereafter) to receive, in consideration of the termination of the Services and for any
remaining Advisory Fees payable by the Company under this Agreement and in addition to any fees owing to BMP in connection with such transaction pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, a single lump sum non-refundable and irrevocable cash payment (the
“Lump Sum Fee”) 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 the date of this agreement (the “Discount Rate”)) of all then current and future Advisory Fees payable under this Agreement, assuming the Termination Date is the tenth anniversary of the date of such election.
Promptly after the receipt of such written notice, the Company shall pay the Lump Sum Fee to BMP by wire transfer in same-day funds to the bank account designated by BMP, which payment shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 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 Advisory Fees, shall be terminated, but all other provisions of this Agreement shall continue unaffected. 
 (g) To the extent the Company does not pay, or cause to be paid, any portion of the Lump Sum Payment by reason of any prohibition on such payment
pursuant to any applicable law, the terms of any agreement or indenture governing indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries, any unpaid portion of the Lump Sum Payment shall be paid to BMP on the first date on which the payment of such unpaid
amount is permitted under such agreement or indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under any applicable law or under any contract applicable to the Company or its subsidiaries, any forbearance of collection of the Lump Sum Fee
by BMP shall not be deemed to be a subordination of such payments to any other person, entity or creditor of the Company or its subsidiaries. Any such forbearance shall be at BMP’s sole option and discretion and shall in no way impair
BMP’s right to collect such payments. Any portion of the Lump Sum Payment not paid on the scheduled due date shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Discount Rate, compounded quarterly, from the date due until paid. 
 SECTION 5. Reimbursements. In addition to the fees payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will pay, or cause to be paid, 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 and its Affiliates in
connection with the Transactions and the Services or other services provided by them under this Agreement (including prior to the Effective Time), or in order to make Securities and Exchange Commission and other legally required filings relating to
the ownership of equity securities of the Company or its successor by BMP or its Affiliates, or otherwise incurred by BMP or its Affiliates from time to time in the future in connection with the ownership or subsequent sale or transfer by BMP or its
Affiliates of capital stock 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 or any of its 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 or any
of its Affiliates, and (c) transportation, per diem costs, word processing expenses or any similar expense not associated with BMP’s or its Affiliates’ ordinary operations. All payments or reimbursements for Out-of-Pocket Expenses
will be made by wire transfer in same-day funds promptly upon or as soon as practicable following request for payment or reimbursement in accordance with this Agreement, to the bank 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 actions, suits, investigations, losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including in connection with seeking indemnification, whether joint or several (the
“Liabilities”), related to, arising out of or in connection with the Services or other services contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of BMP pursuant to, and the performance by BMP of the Services or other 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 the Company. The Company will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. The attorneys’ 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. 







 The rights of an Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights
and remedies any such person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which each Indemnified Party is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under any law or regulation. 
 SECTION 7. Accuracy of Information. The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to BMP such information as BMP believes reasonably
appropriate to rendering the Services and other services contemplated by this Agreement and to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other legal requirements relating to the beneficial ownership by BMP or its Affiliates of equity
securities of the Company (all such information so furnished, the “Information”). 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 and other 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. 
 SECTION 8. Term.
This Agreement will become effective as of the Effective Time and (except as otherwise provided herein) will continue until the “Termination Date,” which is the earliest of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date hereof,
(ii) such time as the Affiliated Investors beneficially own less than 5% of the total common equity of the Company and (iii) such earlier date as the Company and BMP may mutually agree upon in writing; provided, that (x) the
occurrence of the Termination Date will not affect the obligations of the Company to pay, or cause to be paid, any amounts accrued but not yet paid as of such date, (y) Section 5 hereof will remain in effect after the Termination Date with
respect to Out-of-Pocket Expenses that were incurred prior to or within a reasonable period of time after the Termination Date, but which have not been paid to BMP in accordance with Section 5 hereof, and (z) the provisions of Sections
4(e), 4(g), 6, 7, 9 and 10 hereof will survive after the Termination Date. The Advisory Fee will accrue and be payable with respect to the entire fiscal year of the Company in which the Termination Date occurs. 
 SECTION 9. Disclaimer, Opportunities, Release and Limitation of Liability. 
 (a) Disclaimer; Standard of Care. BMP makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, in respect of the Services to be provided by it
hereunder. In no event shall BMP be liable to the Company or any of its affiliates for any act, alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of BMP as determined by a final, non-appealable
determination of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (b) Freedom to Pursue Opportunities. In recognition that BMP and its Affiliates
currently have, and will in the future have or will consider acquiring, investments in numerous companies with respect to which BMP or its Affiliates may serve as an advisor, a director or in some other capacity, in recognition that BMP and its
Affiliates have myriad duties to various investors and partners, in anticipation that the Company, on the one hand, and BMP (or one or more Affiliates, associated investment funds or portfolio companies), on the other hand, may engage in the same or
similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Company hereunder, and in recognition of the difficulties which may confront any advisor
who desires and endeavors fully to satisfy such advisor’s duties in determining the full scope of such duties in any particular situation, the provisions of this Section 9(b) are set forth to regulate, define and guide the conduct of
certain affairs of the Company as they may involve BMP. Except as BMP may otherwise agree in writing after the date hereof: 
 (i) BMP and its Affiliates shall have the right: (A) to directly or indirectly engage in any business (including, without limitation, any business activities or lines of business that are the same as or similar to those pursued by, or
competitive with, the Company and its subsidiaries); (B) to directly or indirectly do business with any client or customer of the Company and its subsidiaries; (C) to take any other action that BMP believes in good faith is necessary to or
appropriate to fulfill its obligations as described in the first sentence of this Section 9(b); and (D) not to present potential transactions, matters or business opportunities to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and to pursue,
directly or indirectly, any such opportunity for themselves, and to direct any such opportunity to another person. 







 (ii) BMP and its Affiliates shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate
or present any corporate opportunities to the Company or any of its affiliates or to refrain from any actions specified in Section 9(b)(i) hereof, and the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives any
right to require BMP or any of its Affiliates to act in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 9(b). 
 (iii) Neither BMP nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or any of its affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of any activities or omissions of the types referred to in this
Section 9(b) or of any such person’s participation therein. 
 (c) Release. The Company hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally releases and forever discharges BMP and its Affiliates and their respective partners (both general and limited), members (both managing and otherwise), officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from any and all
liabilities, claims and causes of action in connection with the Services or other services contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of BMP pursuant to, and the performance by BMP of the Services or other services contemplated by, this
Agreement that the Company may have, or may claim to have, on or after the date hereof, except with respect to any act or omission that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a
court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (d) Limitation of Liability. In no event will BMP or any of its Affiliates be liable to the
Company or any of its affiliates for any indirect, special, incidental 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, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the services to be provided by BMP or any of its Affiliates hereunder, or for any act or omission that does not constitute
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction or in excess of the fees actually received by BMP hereunder. 
 SECTION 10. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any party hereto from any such provision, will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto. Any amendment, waiver or consent
will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement will not operate as or be construed to be a waiver by such party of any subsequent breach.
