Exhibit 10.27

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This
Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2010, is entered into by and among William C. Stone (the
“Executive”), SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor
thereto, the “Company”) and SS&C Technologies, Inc. (together with any successor thereto, “SS&C”).

WITNESSETH THAT

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive wish to set forth the terms and conditions of
Executive’s employment with the Company and SS&C in a binding written agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, it is
hereby agreed as follows:

     1. Term of Employment. The term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the
“Term”) shall begin on the date of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and end on the third
anniversary thereof; provided, that the Term shall be extended by successive periods of one (1)
year, unless the Company shall have notified the Executive or the Executive shall have notified the
Company that no such extension shall take place, in each case at least ninety (90) days prior to
the expiration of the then-current Term (a “Notice of Nonrenewal”); and provided, further, that the
Term shall in any event end upon a termination of employment in accordance with the terms of
Section 5 hereof.

     2. Position, Duties and Location.

     (a) Position. Beginning on the Effective Date, the Executive shall serve as Chairman of
the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and
SS&C, with the duties and responsibilities customarily assigned to those positions consistent with
past practice and such other duties and responsibilities as the Board shall from time to time
reasonably assign to the Executive consistent with Executive’s position. The Executive shall at
all times report directly to the Board. In addition, Executive shall serve as the Chairman of the
Board of Directors of SS&C and any direct or indirect parent or holding company, the assets of
which are the stock of SS&C.

     (b) Duties. During the Term, the Executive shall devote Executive’s full business
attention and time to the business of the Company and SS&C and shall use Executive’s reasonable
best efforts to carry out such responsibilities faithfully and efficiently. During the Term, it
shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for the Executive to serve on corporate, civic
or charitable boards or committees, and manage personal investments, so long as such activities do
not materially interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of
the Company and SS&C and do not violate the restrictions contained in Section 7.

 

 

     (c) Location. The Executive’s services shall be performed primarily at SS&C’s offices in
Windsor, Connecticut.

     3. Compensation.

     (a) Base Salary. During the Term, the Executive shall receive a base salary (the “Base
Salary”) at an annual rate of not less than seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) payable
at such times as SS&C customarily pays the base salaries of other senior executives of SS&C
(hereinafter, “Other Senior Executives”). The Base Salary shall be reviewed annually for increase
in accordance with SS&C’s normal practices for Other Senior Executives. The Base Salary shall not
be reduced, including, after any increase, and the term “Base Salary” shall thereafter refer to the
Base Salary as so increased.

     (b) Annual Bonus. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to earn a discretionary
annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) based on individual performance as well as the Company’s
strategic, operational, and financial performance during the year, as determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Subject to Executive remaining employed by the
Company through December 31st of the applicable calendar year, Executive will receive a
minimum Annual Bonus of $500,000.

     (c) Long Term Incentive Compensation.

          (i) During the Term and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to
receive annual awards under any long term incentive program or similar plan, program or arrangement
of the Company, which may include options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company
(“Options”) or restricted shares of common stock of the Company, including the Class A Restricted
Stock referenced in Section 3(c)(ii) below (“Restricted Shares”).

          (ii) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing clause (i), on or at the first Board
meeting after the Effective Date, Executive shall be granted 153,846 shares of Class A Restricted
Stock (which number of shares shall be subject to equitable adjustment to reflect stock splits,
reverse stock splits, stock dividends and other capital adjustments between the Effective Date and
the date of grant). Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Restricted Stock shall vest over a period of
three years from the Effective Date with 1/3 of the shares of Restricted Stock vesting on the first
anniversary of the Effective Date and the remaining 2/3 of the shares of Restricted Stock vesting
in eight equal quarterly installments over the remaining two years.

          (iii) All Options granted to Executive shall (A) have a per share exercise price that is no
greater than fair market value of a share of common stock of the Company on the date of grant; (B)
have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant; and (C) otherwise be subject to the terms
of this Agreement.

     4. Other Benefits.

     (a) Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the
benefits, incentive and compensation plans, programs and arrangements of SS&C (“Employee Benefit
Plans”), on terms and conditions no less favorable than those applicable to

-2-

 

any Other Senior
Executive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive shall be entitled to no less
than six (6) weeks of paid vacation per calendar year.

     (b) Perquisites. The Board may from time to time approve the granting of additional
benefits to Executive including, but not limited to, life and/or disability insurance, car
allowance or Company car, or membership in health, business or social and/or other clubs,
associations or organizations. Such perquisites shall be no less favorable in any material respect
than such perquisites provided to the Executive by SS&C prior to the Merger.

     (c) Expenses. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt
reimbursement for all reasonable expenses that Executive incurs during the Term in carrying
out Executive’s duties under this Agreement.

     (d) Key Person Insurance. The Company and SS&C shall have the right to insure the life of
the Executive for the Company’s and/or SS&C’s sole benefit. The Company and SS&C shall have the
right to determine the amount of insurance and the type of policy. The Executive shall cooperate
with the Company and SS&C in obtaining such insurance by submitting to reasonably required physical
examinations, by supplying all information reasonably required by any insurance carrier, and by
executing all necessary documents reasonably required by any insurance carrier. The Executive shall
incur no financial obligation by executing any required document, and shall have no interest in any
such policy.

     (e) Indemnity. The Company and SS&C agree that if the Executive is made a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a
director, officer or employee of the Company or SS&C or is or was serving at the request of the
Company or SS&C as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is the
Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member,
employee or agent, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company and SS&C to
the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s and SS&C’s certificates of
incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Board or, if greater, by the laws of the State of
Delaware, against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or other liabilities or penalties and amounts paid or to
be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith,
and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if Executive has ceased to be a
director, member, employee or agent of the Company, SS&C or other entity and shall inure to the
benefit of the Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Company and SS&C shall advance to the Executive all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Executive in connection with a Proceeding within twenty (20) calendar days
after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance. Such request shall include an
undertaking by the Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be
determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expense. Neither
the failure of the Company nor SS&C (including their boards of directors, independent legal counsel
or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding
concerning payment of amounts

-3-

 

claimed by the Executive that indemnification of the Executive is
proper because Executive has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the
Company or SS&C (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that
the Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Executive has not met the
applicable standard of conduct. The Company and SS&C agree to continue and maintain a directors’
and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the Executive to the extent the Company and SS&C
provide such coverage for their other executive officers. Such insurance coverage shall be
maintained for at least six (6) years following any Change in Control.

     5. Payments to Executive at Termination.

     (a) Consequences of Termination. If the Executive’s employment with the Company and SS&C
is terminated for any reason, the Executive (or, in the case of Executive’s death, the Executive’s
estate and/or beneficiaries) shall be entitled to the following: (i) unpaid Base Salary through the
date of the termination; (ii) payment of any Annual Bonus earned with respect to a completed fiscal
year of the Company that is unpaid as of the date of termination; and (iii) any benefits due to
Executive under any Employee Benefit Plan and any payments due to the Executive under any Company
or SS&C policy, program, arrangement or agreement (including, without limitation, reimbursement for
previously incurred expenses) (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”).

     (b) Termination Without Cause; for Good Reason; Nonrenewal by the Company. The Company may
terminate Executive’s employment without Cause and Executive may terminate his employment for Good
Reason (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, “Good Reason” shall not exist
unless the provisions of Section 5(f) are complied with), in each case upon thirty 30 days written
notice, and the Executive’s employment may be terminated upon a Notice of Nonrenewal by the
Company. Upon a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, as a result
of the Company’s Notice of Nonrenewal, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall be
entitled to, provided that Executive has executed and submitted a Release and the statutory period
during which Executive is entitled to revoke the Release has expired on or before the sixtieth day
following the date of termination, the following:

          (i) severance payments totaling the sum of 200% of the Executive’s Base Salary and 200% of
Executive’s minimum Annual Bonus, payable on the sixtieth day following termination; provided that
if Executive’s termination is for Good Reason due to a reduction in any such amount, the amount
used in calculating the severance payment shall be that in effect prior to the event giving rise to
Good Reason;

          (ii) the Executive’s outstanding Options, whether or not then exercisable, shall become
exercisable with respect to 50% of the unvested shares subject to the Options, as determined on the
date of termination, and shall remain exercisable for the balance of their ten-year terms as if no
termination had occurred (subject to earlier termination as provided in the applicable plan, for
example, in connection with a Change in Control);

          (iii) all vesting restrictions on Restricted Shares shall lapse;

-4-

 

          (iv) three years of Company paid premiums for Executive’s continuation of coverage under the
Company’s group medical, dental and vision benefit plans and, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Company’s group medical, dental and vision
benefit plans, continued coverage, at the Executive’s cost, for the remainder of Executive’s life.

     (c) Termination Due to Death or Disability. The Company shall have the right to terminate
Executive’s employment as a result of Executive’s Disability (as defined below) upon thirty 30 days
written notice and Executive’s employment shall automatically terminate upon the death of the
Executive. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated during the Term due to
Executive’s Disability or death, Executive (or in the event of Executive’s death, his estate) shall
be entitled to, provided that, in the case of Disability, Executive has executed and submitted a
Release and the statutory period during which Executive is entitled to revoke the Release has
expired on or before the sixtieth day following the date of termination, the following benefit and
shall not be entitled to payments or benefits under Section 5(b): (i) disability or death benefits
(as applicable) in accordance with the Company or SS&C provided insurance programs and arrangements
in which Executive was participating immediately prior to such termination; (ii) 50% of the
unvested shares subject to the Executive’s outstanding Options, whether or not then exercisable,
shall become exercisable and shall remain exercisable for the balance of their ten-year terms as if
no termination had occurred (subject to earlier termination as provided in the applicable plan, for
example, in connection with a Change in Control); (iii) all vesting restrictions on Restricted
Shares shall lapse; (iv) a cash payment equal to the amount of the Executive’s most recent Annual
Bonus pro-rated to reflect the portion of the fiscal year that occurs before the date of
termination, payable on the sixtieth day following the date of termination.

     (d) Voluntary Resignation. Executive may terminate his employment at any time without Good
Reason upon ninety 90 days written notice to the Company. In the event that the Executive resigns
without Good Reason, which shall include a termination upon a Notice of Nonrenewal by Executive (a
“Voluntary Resignation”), Executive shall only be entitled to the Accrued Amounts, and Options and
any other equity-based awards that are vested as of the effective date of termination shall
continue according to the terms of such awards applicable to such a termination.

     (e) Termination for Cause. (i) The Company may terminate Executive’s employment for Cause
in compliance with the requirements of this Section 5(e), and notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, “Cause” shall not exist unless the provisions of this Section 5(e) are
complied with. In the event that the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, then
the Executive shall only be entitled to the Accrued Amounts, and Options and any other equity-based
awards that are vested as of the effective date of termination shall continue according to the
terms of such awards applicable to a termination for Cause.

          (ii) The Executive shall be given written notice by the Company of the intention to terminate
Executive for Cause, such notice (A) to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or
failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based
and (B) to be given within the three (3) month period immediately following the date the members of
the Board, other than the Executive, learn of such act or acts or failure or

-5-

 

failures to act. The
Executive shall have ten (10) business days after the date that such written notice has been given
to the Executive in which to cure such conduct, to the extent such cure is possible. If the Executive fails to cure such conduct, the Executive shall then be entitled to
a hearing before a meeting of the Board. Such hearing shall be held within fifteen (15) business
days after such cure period, provided Executive requests such hearing within ten (10) business days
of the written notice from the Company of the intention to terminate Executive for Cause. If,
within five (5) business days following such hearing, the Executive is furnished written notice by
the Company confirming that, in its judgment, grounds for Cause on the basis of the original notice
exist, Executive shall thereupon be terminated for Cause. Any purported termination for Cause that
fails to comply with the foregoing requirements shall be conclusively deemed to be a termination by
the Company without Cause. The Company may suspend Executive during the pendency of the foregoing
process; provided that Executive shall continue to receive all compensation and benefits during
such suspension; provided, further that such suspension may not be effected if it prevents or
hinders Executive’s ability to cure Executive’s conduct.

     (f) Termination for Good Reason. (i) The Executive may terminate Executive’s employment
for Good Reason in compliance with the requirements of this Section 5(f), and notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, “Good Reason” shall not exist unless the provisions of
this Section 5(f) are complied with. In the event that the Executive terminates his employment for
Good Reason, then the Executive shall be entitled to the amounts set forth in Section 5(b).

          (ii) The Company shall be given written notice by the Executive of his intention to terminate
for Good Reason, such notice (A) to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or
failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Good Reason is
based and (B) to be given within the three (3) months period immediately following the date the
Executive learns of such act or acts or failure or failures to act. The Company shall have ten (10)
business days after the date that such written notice has been given to the Company in which to
cure such conduct, to the extent such cure is possible. If the Company fails to cure such conduct,
the Executive shall, within five (5) business days following such failure to cure, furnish to the
Company written notice confirming that, in his judgment, grounds for Good Reason on the basis of
the original notice exist, and the Executive may thereupon terminate for Good Reason, subject to
the 30 day notice period in Section 5(b). Any purported termination for Good Reason that fails to
comply with the foregoing requirements shall be conclusively deemed to be a termination by the
Executive without Good Reason. The Company may suspend the Executive during the pendency of the
foregoing process; provided that Executive shall continue to receive all compensation and benefits
during such suspension.

     (g) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

          (i) “Cause” shall mean: (i) Executive’s willful and continuing failure (except where due to
physical or mental incapacity) to substantially perform his duties; Executive’s conviction of, or

13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of either (1) the then-outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company or SS&C or (2) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
voting securities of the Company or SS&C entitled to vote generally in the election of directors

Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board

          (iv) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence without Executive’s express written consent of
(i) an adverse change in Executive’s employment title; (ii) a material diminution in Executive’s
employment duties or responsibilities or authority, or the assignment to Executive of duties that
are materially inconsistent with his position; (iii) any reduction in Base Salary or minimum Annual
Bonus; (iv) a relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices to a location more than
thirty five (35) miles from its current location which has the effect of increasing the Executive’s

claims that the Company may have against Executive relating to Executive’s employment or
termination thereof (except for fraud, misappropriation of the Company’s or its affiliate’s assets
or any other alleged criminal wrongdoing or malfeasance of a gross nature).

     6. Confidentiality of Trade Secrets and Business Information.

          (a) Except in connection with the faithful performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder or
pursuant to Section 6(c), the Executive shall, in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and shall not
directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for his benefit or
the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity any confidential or proprietary
information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company (including, without limitation,
intellectual property in the form of patents, trademarks and copyrights and applications therefor,
ideas, inventions, works, discoveries, improvements, information, documents, formulae, practices,
processes, methods, developments, source code, modifications, technology, techniques, data,
programs, other know-how or materials, owned, developed or possessed by the Company, whether in
tangible or intangible form, information with respect to the Company’s operations, processes,
products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers,
potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory
status, prospects and compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment), or deliver to
any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document, record, notebook, computer program or
similar repository of or containing any such confidential or proprietary information or trade
secrets. The parties hereby stipulate and agree that as between them the foregoing matters are
important, material and confidential proprietary information and trade secrets and affect the
successful conduct of the businesses of the Company (and any successor or assignee of the Company).

          (b) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the
Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters,
notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents
concerning the Company’s customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products or processes.

          (c) The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall
give the Company prompt notice thereof, shall promptly make available to the Company and its
counsel the documents and other information sought and shall assist, if appropriate, such counsel
at Company’s expense in resisting or otherwise responding to such process.

          (d) As used in this Section 6, the term “Company” shall include the Company and its direct or
indirect parents, if any, and subsidiaries.

-8-

 

          (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Executive from (i) disclosing information and
documents when required by law, subpoena or court order (subject to the requirements of Section
6(c) above), (ii) disclosing information and documents to his attorney or tax adviser for the
purpose of securing legal or tax advice, (iii) disclosing the post-employment restrictions in this Agreement in confidence to any potential new employer, or (iv)
retaining, at any time, his personal correspondence, his personal rolodex and documents related to
his own personal benefits, entitlements and obligations.

          (f) All rights to discoveries, inventions, improvements and innovations (including all data
and records pertaining thereto) related to the business of the Company, whether or not patentable,
copyrightable, registrable as a trademark, or reduced to writing, that the Executive may discover,
invent or originate during the Term, either alone or with others and whether or not during working
hours or by the use of the facilities of the Company (“Inventions”), shall be the exclusive
property of the Company. The Executive shall promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company, shall
execute at the request of the Company any assignments or other documents the Company may deem
reasonably necessary to protect or perfect its rights therein, and shall assist the Company, upon
reasonable request and at the Company’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the
Company’s rights therein. The Executive hereby appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact to
execute on his behalf any assignments or other documents reasonably deemed necessary by the Company
to protect or perfect its rights to any Inventions.

     7. Noncompetition.

          (a) In consideration for the compensation payable to the Executive under this Agreement, the
Executive agrees that Executive will not, during the Non-Compete Period, directly or indirectly
engage in, have any equity interest in, manage or operate, provide services for, consult with or be
employed by any person, firm, corporation, partnership or business (whether as director, officer,
employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant or otherwise) that engages in
any business which competes with any Competitive Business (as defined below) anywhere in the World;
provided, however, that the Executive shall be permitted to acquire a passive stock interest in
such a business provided the stock acquired is publicly traded and is not more than two percent
(2%) of the outstanding interest in such business. For purposes of this Section 7, the “Non-Compete
Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending (i) if Executive is
terminated by the Company pursuant to Sections 5(c) or 5(e) or by Executive pursuant to Section
5(d), on the later of (A) four (4) years following the Effective Date, and (B) two (2) years
following the Executive’s termination of employment, and (ii) if Executive is terminated pursuant
to Section 5(b), two (2) years following the Executive’s termination of employment.

          (b) During the Non-Compete Period, the Executive shall not recruit or otherwise solicit or
induce any employee, consultant, independent contractor, customer, subscriber or supplier of the
Company (i) to terminate its employment or arrangement with the Company, or (ii) to otherwise
change its relationship with the Company.

          (c) In the event the terms of this Section 7 shall be determined by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of

-9-

 

time or over
too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will
be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over
the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as
determined by such court in such action.

          (d) As used in this Section 7, (i) the term “Company” shall include the Company and its parent
and subsidiaries, and (ii) the term “Competitive Business” shall mean any business that competes
with the business conducted by the Company as of the date of the Executive’s termination of
employment with the Company.

          (e) During his employment and for the 12-month period following termination of his employment
with the Company, (a) the Executive agrees not to disparage in any material respect the Company,
any of its products or practices, or any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives,
stockholders or affiliates, either orally or in writing, and (b) the Company agrees not to
disparage in any material respect the Executive.

     8. Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purpose of the
covenants set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above are to protect the goodwill, trade secrets and other
confidential information of the Company; (ii) because of the nature of the business in which the
Company is engaged and because of the nature of the Confidential Information to which the Executive
has access, it would be impractical and excessively difficult to determine the actual damages of
the Company in the event the Executive breached any such covenants; and (iii) remedies at law (such
as monetary damages) for any breach of the Executive’s obligations under Sections 6 and 7 would be
inadequate. The Executive therefore agrees and consents that if Executive commits any breach of a
covenant under Sections 6 or 7, the Company shall have the right (in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any other right or remedy that may be available to it) to temporary and permanent injunctive
relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

     9. Resolution of Disputes; Legal Fees. Any disputes arising under or in connection with
this Agreement, other than Sections 6 and 7 above, shall first be addressed by third-party
mediation and, if such mediation fails to resolve such dispute within sixty days, by binding
arbitration, to be held in Hartford county, Connecticut. The arbitration shall be conducted
according to the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association governing employment
disputes. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The Company shall pay the costs of the arbitrator or the mediator.

     10. Certain Additional Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits
provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive in connection with a Change in
Control that occurs following the Effective Date constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning
of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and will be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Executive shall receive (a) a
payment from the Company sufficient to pay such excise tax, and (b) an additional payment from the
Company sufficient to pay the excise tax and federal and state income taxes arising from the
payments made by the Company to the Executive pursuant to

-10-

 

this sentence. Unless the Company and the
Executive otherwise agree in writing, the determination of the Executive’s excise tax liability and
the amount required to be paid under this Section shall be made in writing by an independent
account firm selected by the Company and the Executive (the “Accountants”). In the event that the excise tax incurred by Executive is
determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be greater or lesser than the amount so determined by
the Accountants, the Company and Executive agree to promptly make such additional payment,
including interest and any tax penalties, to the other party as the Accountants reasonably
determine is appropriate to ensure that the net economic effect to the Executive under this
Section, on an after-tax basis, is as if the Code Section 4999 excise tax did not apply to
Executive. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accountants may
make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on
interpretations of the Code for which there is a “substantial authority” tax reporting position.
The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as
the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The
Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this Section.

     11. Section 409A.

          (a) This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
(“Section 409A”) with respect to amounts, if any, subject thereto and shall be interpreted and
construed and shall be performed by the parties consistent with such intent. If the Company or
Executive notifies the other in writing that one or more or the provisions of this Agreement
contravenes any Treasury Regulations or guidance promulgated under Section 409A or causes any
amounts to be subject to interest, additional tax or penalties under Section 409A, the parties
shall promptly and reasonably consult with each other, and shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to reform the provisions of this Agreement to (a) maintain to the maximum extent reasonably
practicable the original intent of the applicable provisions without violating the provisions of
Section 409A and (b) to the maximum extent possible, to avoid the imposition of any interest,
additional tax or other penalties under Section 409A upon Executive. In no event shall the Company
be required to provide a tax gross-up payment to Executive for any Section 409A penalties or
interest as a result of this Section 11(a).

          (b) To the extent Executive would otherwise be entitled to any payment under this Agreement
that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A and that if paid during the
six (6) months beginning on the date of termination of Executive’s employment would be subject to
the Section 409A additional tax because Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of
Section 409A and as determined by the Company), the payment will be paid to Executive on the
earlier of the six (6) month anniversary of Executive’s date of termination or death. Similarly, to
the extent Executive would otherwise be entitled to any benefit (other than a payment) during the
six (6) months beginning on termination of his employment that would be subject to the Section 409A
additional tax, the benefit will be delayed and will begin being provided on the earlier of the
first day following the six (6) month anniversary of his date of termination or death.

          (c) Any payment or benefit due upon a termination of Executive’s employment that represents a
“deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A

-11-

 

shall be paid or provided to
Executive only upon a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h). Each
payment made under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section
409A. Amounts payable under this Agreement shall be deemed
 not to be a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the
exceptions in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and (b)(9)
(“separation pay plans,” including the exception under subparagraph (iii)) and other applicable
provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1 through A-6.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or elsewhere, any payment or
benefit under this Agreement or otherwise that is exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury
Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) (relating to certain reimbursements and in-kind benefits)
shall be paid or provided to Executive only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or
the benefits are not provided, beyond the last day of the second calendar year following the
calendar year in which Executive’s “separation from service” occurs; and provided further that such
expenses are reimbursed no later than the last day of the third calendar year following the
calendar year in which Executive’s “separation from service” occurs. To the extent any expense
reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit is determined to be subject to Section 409A
(and not exempt pursuant to the prior sentence or otherwise), the amount of any such expenses
eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not
affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year (except for any life-time
or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be
reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
Executive incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision
of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Without limiting
the foregoing, any payments to Executive pursuant to Section 10 above shall in all events be paid
to Executive no later than the end of his taxable year next following the taxable year in which the
excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and any other federal and state income taxes
arising from the payments to Executive pursuant to Section 10 are remitted to the Internal Revenue
Service or any other applicable taxing authority. The Company’s reimbursement obligations under
this Section 11(d) are subject to Executive submitting to the Company the applicable expense
reimbursement request no later than thirty (30) days prior to the last day such expense can be
reimbursed without creating an additional tax under Section 409A.

     12. The Executive’s Representations. The Executive hereby represents and warrants that the
Executive has the right to enter into this Agreement with the Company and to grant the rights
contained in this Agreement, and the provisions of this Agreement do not violate any other
contracts or agreements that the Executive has entered into with any other individual or entity.
The Executive acknowledges that before signing this Agreement, Executive was given the opportunity
to read it, evaluate it and discuss it with Executive’s personal advisors and attorney and with
representatives of the Company. The Executive further acknowledges that the Company has not
provided the Executive with any legal advice regarding this Agreement.

     13. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be

RECITALS:

or business enterprise itself;

     WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve as directors or in other
capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and adequate
indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their
service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the
increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that
there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

     WHEREAS, (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company requires indemnification of the
officers and directors of the Company, (ii) Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification
pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) and (iii) the
Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set
forth therein are not exclusive and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between
the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to
indemnification;

     WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of
Incorporation and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute
therefore, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder, and

     WHEREAS, (i) Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Certificate of
Incorporation and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, (ii) Indemnitee may not be
willing to serve or continue to serve as a director without adequate protection, (iii) the Company
desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity, and (iv) Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to
serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be

-3-

 

reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the

respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a
court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of
Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

     Section 4. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly

respect to any claim brought in such Proceeding if such claim is asserted successfully against
Indemnitee and (iii) Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on
the merits or otherwise (including settlement thereof), as to one or more but less than all claims,
issues or matters in such Proceeding, then the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all
Liabilities and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf
in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section
and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by
dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim,
issue or matter.

     Section 5. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the
extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding

suffered or incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

     Section 6. Additional Indemnification. Notwithstanding any limitation in
Sections 2, 3, or 4, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding
(including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor)
against all Liabilities and Expenses suffered or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such
Proceeding:

          (a) to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the DGCL that authorizes or
contemplates additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any
amendment to or replacement of the DGCL, and

          (b) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the
DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may
indemnify its officers and directors.

     Section 7. Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement,
the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to indemnify or hold harmless Indemnitee:

          (a) for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by
Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or
similar provisions of state statutory law or common law or (ii) any claim made against Indemnitee
for any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or
equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of
the

-4-

 

Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements
that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits
arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act); or

          (b) except as provided in Section 12(d) of this Agreement, in connection with any Proceeding
(or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee [or any Sponsor Entity], including any
Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee [or any Sponsor Entity] against
the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of
Directors of the Company authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its
initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to
the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

     Section 8. Advances of Expenses. In accordance with the pre-existing
requirement of Article EIGHTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, and notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall advance, to the extent not
prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, and such
advancement shall be made within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement
or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final
disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be
made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to
Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement.
Advances shall include any and all Expenses incurred pursuing a Proceeding to enforce this right of
advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to
support the advances claimed. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and
delivery to the Company of this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that the
Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 8 shall not apply to any
claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 7.

     Section 9. Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.

          (a) Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any Proceeding with respect to which
Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder as soon as
reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof. The written
notification to the Company shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the
facts underlying the Proceeding. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall
submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and
information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine
whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. Any delay or failure by Indemnitee to notify the
Company hereunder will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee
hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay or failure in so notifying the
Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights
under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a
request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested
indemnification.

          (b) In the event Indemnitee is entitled to indemnifications and/or advancement of Expenses
with respect to any Proceeding, Indemnitee may, at Indemnitee’s option, (i) retain counsel selected
by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) to defend Indemnitee in such Proceeding, at the sole expense of the

-5-

 

Company, or (ii) have the Company assume the defense of Indemnitee in such Proceeding, in which
case the Company shall assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel selected by the Company
and approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed) within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of written notice of Indemnitee’s election
to cause the Company to do so. If the Company is required to assume the defense of any such
Proceeding, it shall engage legal counsel for such defense, and the Company shall be solely
responsible for all fees and expenses of such legal counsel and otherwise of such defense. Such
legal counsel may represent both Indemnitee and the Company (and/or any other party or parties
entitled to be indemnified by the Company with respect to such matter) unless, in the reasonable
opinion of legal counsel to Indemnitee, there is a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the
Company (or any other such party or parties) or there are legal defenses available to Indemnitee
that are not available to the Company (or any such other party or parties). Notwithstanding either
party’s assumption of responsibility for defense of a Proceeding, each party shall have the right
to engage separate counsel at its own expense. The party having responsibility for defense of a
Proceeding shall provide the other party and its counsel with all copies of pleadings and material
correspondence relating to the proceeding. Indemnitee and the Company shall reasonably cooperate
in the defense of any Proceeding with respect to which indemnification is sought hereunder,
regardless of whether the Company or Indemnitee assumes the defense thereof. Indemnitee may not
settle or compromise any Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company may not settle or
compromise any proceeding in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee
without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.

     Section 10. Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

          (a) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a), if any
determination by the Company is required by applicable law with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement
thereto, such determination shall be made (i) if Indemnitee shall request such determination be
made by Independent Counsel, by Independent Counsel, and (ii) in all other circumstances (A) by a
majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (B) by a
committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors,
even though less than a quorum of the Board, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or,
if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the
Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (D) if so directed by the Board, by the
stockholders of the Company; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.
Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with
respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons
or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged
or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with
the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company
(irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the
Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. The Company will not
deny any written request for indemnification hereunder made in good faith by Indemnitee unless a
determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification described in this Section
10(a) has been made. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent
Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims,
liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant
hereto.

          (b) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by
Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, (i) the Independent Counsel shall be selected
by the Company within ten (10) days of the Submission Date (the cost of each such counsel to be
paid by the Company), (ii) shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising it of the identity of
the Independent Counsel so selected and (iii) Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such
written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company Indemnitee’s written
objection to such selection. Absent a timely objection, the person so selected shall act as
Independent Counsel. If a written objection is so made by Indemnitee, the Independent Counsel so
selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn. If no
Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to before the later of (i) thirty
(30) days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification
pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof (the “Submission Date”) and (ii) ten (10) days after the
final disposition of the Proceeding, each of the Company and Indemnitee shall select a law firm or
member of a law firm meeting the qualifications to serve as Independent Counsel, and such law firms
or members of law firms shall select the Independent Counsel. Upon the due commencement of any
judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel
shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the
applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

     Section 11. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

          (a) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person, persons or entity making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by
law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has
submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the
Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome
that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any
determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its
directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because
Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company
(including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

          (b) Subject to Section 12(e), if the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under
Section 10 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall
not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request
therefore, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest
extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such
indemnification, absent a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided,
however, that such 60-day
period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if
(i) the determination is to be made by Independent Counsel and Indemnitee objects to the Company’s
selection of Independent Counsel and (ii) the Independent Counsel ultimately selected requires such
additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating
thereto.

          (c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment,
order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) adversely affect
the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in
good faith and in a manner which

-7-

 

he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

          (d) To the greatest extent permitted by law, settlement of any Proceeding without any finding
of responsibility, wrongdoing or guilt on the part of the Indemnitee with respect to claims
asserted in such Proceeding shall constitute a presumption that Indemnitee has been successful on
the merits with respect to such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have
the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

          (e) For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted
in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise,
including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the
Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or
on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified
public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with the reasonable care by the
Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 11(e) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit
in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

          (f) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, agent or
employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right
to indemnification under this Agreement.

     Section 12. Remedies of Indemnitee.

          (a) Subject to Section 12(e), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to
Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement,
(iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section
10(a) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for
indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 4 or 5 or the last
sentence of Section 10(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a
written request therefore, (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 2, 3 or 6 of this
Agreement is not made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification, or (vi) in the event that the Company or any other person takes or
threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any
litigation or other action or Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the
benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to an adjudication by a court of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification and/or
advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at
Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator
pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Company
shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

          (b) In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this
Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or
arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conducted in all respects as a
de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced
by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
pursuant to this Section 12 the Company shall have the

-8-

 

burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled
to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

          (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent a prohibition of
such indemnification under applicable law.

          (d) The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from
asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the
procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall
stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement. It is the intent of the Company that the Indemnitee not be required
to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of
Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense
thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Indemnitee
hereunder. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested
by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request
therefore) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or
advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately
is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance
recovery, as the case may be.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to
entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final
disposition of the Proceeding; provided that, in absence of any such determination with respect to
such Proceeding, the Company shall pay Liabilities and advance Expenses with respect to such
Proceeding if the Company has determined the Indemnitee to be entitled to indemnification and
advancement of Expenses with respect to such Proceeding.

     Section 13. Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

          (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be
entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement, a vote of
stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of
this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under
this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in
Delaware law, whether by statute or
judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be
afforded currently under the Certificate of Incorporation and/or this Agreement, it is the intent
of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so
afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

          (b) [The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to
indemnification, advancement of Expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more Persons with whom
or which Indemnitee may be associated (including, without limitation, any Sponsor Entity). The
Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort
with respect to any Proceeding, Expense, Liability or matter that is the subject of the Indemnity
Obligations, (ii) the Company shall be primarily liable for all Indemnification Obligations and any
indemnification afforded to Indemnitee in respect of any Proceeding, Expense, Liability or matter
that is the subject of Indemnity Obligations, whether created by law, organizational or constituent
documents, contract (including this Agreement) or otherwise, (iii) any obligation of any other
Persons with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated (including, without limitation, any Sponsor
Entity) to indemnify Indemnitee and/or advance Expenses to Indemnitee in respect of any proceeding
shall be secondary to the obligations of the Company hereunder, (iv) the Company shall be required
to indemnify Indemnitee and advance Expenses to Indemnitee hereunder to the fullest extent provided
herein without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against any other Person with whom or which
Indemnitee may be associated (including, any Sponsor Entity) or insurer of any such Person and (v)
the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any other Person with whom or which
Indemnitee may be for associated (including, without limitation, any Sponsor Entity) from any claim
of contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of amounts paid by the
Company hereunder. In the event any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated
(including, without limitation, any Sponsor Entity) or their insurers advances or extinguishes any
liability or loss which is the subject of any Indemnity Obligation owed by the Company or payable
under any insurance policy provided under this Agreement, the payor shall have a right of
subrogation against the Company or its insurer or insurers for all amounts so paid which would
otherwise be payable by the Company or its insurer or insurers under this Agreement. In no event
will payment of an Indemnity Obligation by any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be
associated (including, without limitation, any Sponsor Entity) or their insurers affect the
obligations of the Company hereunder or shift primary liability for any Indemnity Obligation to any
other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated (including, without limitation, any
Sponsor Entity). Any indemnification and/or insurance or advancement of Expenses provided by any
other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated (including, without limitation, any
Sponsor Entity) with respect to any liability arising as a result of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status
or capacity as an officer or director of any Person is specifically in excess over any Indemnity
Obligation of the Company or valid and any collectible insurance (including but not limited to any
malpractice insurance or professional errors and omissions insurance) provided by the Company under
this Agreement, and any obligation to provide indemnification and/or insurance or advance Expenses
provided by any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated (including, without
limitation, any Sponsor Entity) shall be reduced by any amount that Indemnitee collects from
the Company as an indemnification payment or advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Agreement.] 2

          (c) To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing
liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company or of any other
Enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by
such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at
the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has
director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
respective policies. The Company shall

 

			
	2	 	Applicable only to the three Carlyle directors.

-10-

 

thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause
such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding
in accordance with the terms of such policies.

          (d) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall not be subrogated to
the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, [including rights of indemnification provided to Indemnitee
from any other person or entity with whom Indemnitee may be associated (including, without
limitation, any Sponsor Entity)]; provided, however, that the Company shall be
subrogated to the extent of any such payment of all rights of recovery of Indemnitee under
insurance policies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and Indemnitee shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to take all action necessary as reasonably requested by the Company to secure
such rights.

          (e) [Except as provided in Section 13(b),] the Company shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement is
provided hereunder) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received
such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

          (f) The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Indemnitee.

     Section 14. Duration of Agreement; Not Employment Contract. This Agreement
shall continue until and terminate upon the latest of: (i) ten (10) years after the date that
Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director of the Company or any other Enterprise and (ii)
one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which
Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any
proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement relating thereto. This
Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the
benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. This Agreement shall
not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any
Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that Indemnitee’s employment with
the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), if any, is at will, and the Indemnitee
may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, except as may be otherwise
provided in any written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries or any Enterprise), other applicable formal severance policies duly adopted by the
Board, or, with respect to service as a director of the Company, by the Certificate of
Incorporation and the DGCL.

     Section 15. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without
limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary
to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto;
and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

     Section 16. Enforcement.

-11-

 

          (a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and
assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director
or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this
Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.

          (b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and
implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however,
that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Certificate of Incorporation and
applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefore, nor to diminish or abrogate any
rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

     Section 17. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or
amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of
any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

     Section 18. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication
shall have been directed, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the
third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight
courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been
directed or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such

or to any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company.

     Section 19. Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under
applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee
for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the
amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid
or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an
indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in
light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits
received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving
cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors,
officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or
transaction(s).

     Section 20. Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and
the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12(a) of this
Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any
action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in
the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and not in any other
state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii)
consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or
proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) waive any objection to the
laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (iv) waive, and agree
not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court
has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

     Section 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the
party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this
Agreement.

     Section 22. [Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Sponsor Entities are intended
third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and shall have all of the rights afforded to Indemnitee
under this Agreement.]

     Section 23. Miscellaneous. Use of the masculine pronoun shall be deemed
to include usage of the feminine pronoun where appropriate. The headings of the paragraphs of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this
Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.
