 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Clients and the Consultant,
intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Engagement. The Clients hereby engage the Consultant for the
Term (as hereinafter defined) and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth to provide consulting and advisory services to the Clients and/or any of their subsidiaries, as the Consultant and the Clients shall mutually agree from time to
time. These services will be in the field of financial and strategic corporate planning and such other areas as the Consultant and the Clients shall mutually agree. In consideration of the compensation to the Consultant herein specified,
the Consultant accepts such engagement and agrees to perform the services specified herein. 

 2. Term. The engagement hereunder shall be for a term commencing on the date hereof
and expiring on the tenth anniversary of the date hereof (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically extend for successive periods of one year each, unless the Consultant or the
Company shall give notice to the other at least 90 days prior to the end of the Initial Term (or any annual extension thereof) indicating that it does not intend to extend the term of this Agreement. The Initial Term, together with all such
annual extensions of the Initial Term, is referred to herein as the “Term.” The Term shall automatically terminate at such time as when affiliates of the Consultant no longer hold any equity interest in the Company.

3. Services to be Performed. The Consultant shall devote reasonable time and efforts to the performance of the consulting and
advisory services contemplated by this Agreement. However, no precise number of hours is to be devoted by the Consultant on a weekly or monthly basis. The Consultant may perform services under this Agreement directly, through its employees
or agents, or with such outside consultants as the Consultant may engage for such purpose. Each Client acknowledges that such services to them will not be exclusive, and that the Consultant and its affiliates will render similar services to
other persons and entities. 
 3.1 Information. The Clients shall furnish the Consultant with such information as is appropriate
to its engagement hereunder (all such information so furnished being referred to herein as the “Information”). The Company recognizes and confirms that (a) the Consultant will use and rely primarily on Information provided by
the Clients and on information available from generally recognized public sources in performing the services to be performed hereunder and (b) the Consultant does not assume responsibility of the accuracy or completeness of any such
Information. The Consultant does not represent or warrant any results of the services provided hereunder. 
 3.2
Confidentiality. Except as required by applicable law or legal process, the Consultant shall hold in confidence all proprietary and confidential information of the Clients and/or any of their subsidiaries which may come into the
Consultant’s possession as a result of its performance of services hereunder, exercising a degree of care in maintaining such confidence as is used by the Consultant to protect its own proprietary or confidential information that it does not
wish to disclose. The Consultant shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that its employees, agents and outside consultants similarly maintain the confidentiality of such proprietary and confidential information.

3.3 No Disclosure of Advice. Except as required by applicable law or legal process, no advice rendered by the Consultant pursuant
to this Agreement, whether formal or informal, may be disclosed, in whole or in part, or summarized, excerpted from or otherwise referred to without the Consultant’s and the Company’s prior written consent. In addition, except as
required by applicable law or legal process, the Consultant’s role under this Agreement may not be otherwise referred to without its and the Company’s prior written consent.

4. Compensation; Expense Reimbursement. 

4.1 Compensation. For and in consideration of providing the consulting and advisory services hereunder, the Consultant shall be paid a
fee (hereinafter the “Fee”) for each

calendar year equal to the greater of (x) the product of (i) $1,500,000 and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U): U. S. City Average
– All Items (“CPI-U”) for December in the immediately preceding calendar year by the CPI-U for December, 2010 or (y) $1,500,000; if the CPI-U ceases to be published or ceases to be published in a form comparable to the CPI-U
for December, 2010, references in this sentence to the CPI-U shall be adjusted to be references to the most similar index published by the U.S Department of Labor. The Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of March,
June, September and December of each year commencing on September 30, 2011. In the event the Company is unable to pay the Fee due to restrictions contained in its outstanding revolving credit or term bank loans, the Fee shall not be paid, but
shall accrue, until such payment is no longer restricted, at which time the accrued but unpaid Fee shall be paid to the Consultant. The Clients and/or any of their subsidiaries shall allocate the Fee among themselves according to the services
received. 
 4.2 Additional Fees. If the Consultant is requested by the Company to perform services relating to activities
outside the ordinary course of the Clients’ business, compensation for such services shall be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Consultant and require the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company. 

5. Indemnification. In addition to their agreements and obligations under this Agreement, the Clients agree, jointly and
severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Consultant and its affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, losses and damages or actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof (collectively, the “Obligations”), as and when incurred by the Indemnitees, in any way related to or arising out of the performance by the
Consultant of services under this Agreement, and to reimburse the Indemnitees for reasonable out-of-pocket legal and other expenses (“Expenses”) as and when incurred by any of them in connection with or relating to investigating,
preparing to defend, or defending any actions, claims or other proceedings (including any investigation or inquiry) arising in any manner out of or in connection with the Consultant’s performance under this Agreement (whether or not such
Indemnitee is a named party in such proceeding); provided, however, that the Clients shall not be responsible under this Section 6 for any Obligations or Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee to the extent that it is finally judicially determined (in
an action in which such Indemnitee is a party) to result primarily from actions taken by such Indemnitee due to such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation to the foregoing, in no event shall any Indemnitee
have any liability, including, without limitation, liability for any Obligations or Expenses in contract, tort or otherwise, to the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Consultant’s engagement hereunder or the matters contemplated
hereby, except to the extent that any such liability is finally judicially determined (in an action in which such Indemnitee is a party) to have resulted primarily from such party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; nor shall any
Indemnitee have liability for lost profits or other consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages or for any amount in excess of the fees collected by it hereunder. 

6. Third-Party Beneficiaries. All Indemnitees not signatory to this Agreement are intended beneficiaries of Section 6 of this
Agreement.
