Bank Facilities Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have advised UBS Loan
Finance LLC (“UBS”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBSS”), Bank of America,
N.A. (“BA”), Banc of America Securities LLC (“BAS”) and Goldman
Sachs Credit Partners L.P. (“GSCP” and, together with UBS, UBSS, BA and
BAS, “we,” “us” or the “Commitment Parties”) that Advanced
Medical Optics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“you” or “Borrower”),
proposes to acquire (the “Acquisition”) IntraLase Corp. (the “Acquired
Business”).  The Acquisition will be
effected pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Acquisition
Agreement”) among Borrower, a wholly owned subsidiary of Borrower and the
Acquired Business.  All references to “dollars”
or “$” in this agreement and the attachments hereto (collectively, this “Commitment
Letter”) are references to United States dollars.

We understand that the
sources of funds required to fund the Acquisition consideration, to repay
certain existing indebtedness of Borrower, the Acquired Business and their
respective subsidiaries of approximately $30.0 million (the “Refinancing”),
to pay fees, commissions and expenses  in
connection with the Transactions (as defined below) and to provide ongoing
working capital requirements of Borrower and its subsidiaries following the
Transactions will include senior secured credit facilities consisting of (i) a
senior secured term loan facility to Borrower of $600.0 million (the “Term
Loan Facility”), as described in the Summary of Principal Terms and
Conditions attached hereto as Annex I (the “Term Sheet”) and
(ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility to Borrower of $300.0
million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term
Loan Facility, the “Committed Bank Facilities”), as described in the
Term Sheet, of which Revolving Credit Facility not more than $250.0 million
will be drawn immediately after giving effect to the Transactions.

 

In addition, we will use
commercially reasonable efforts to arrange and syndicate up to an additional
$100.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Commercially
Reasonable Efforts Revolving Credit Facility Amount”; and such additional
amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, together with the Committed Bank
Facilities, the “Bank Facilities” or the “Facilities”); provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or any oral representations or assurances previously or
subsequently made by the parties, nothing herein (a) is intended to be, and
does not constitute a commitment or obligation by any of the Commitment Parties
or any of their respective affiliates to provide financing or to act in any
capacity (other than as expressly contemplated herein) in connection with the
Commercially Reasonable Efforts Revolving Credit Facility Amount, and no
liability or obligation on the part of any of the Commitment Parties or any of
their respective affiliates to proceed with or participate in the Commercially
Reasonable Efforts Revolving Credit Facility Amount shall be created or exist
unless or until such Commitment Party has executed and delivered the Bank
Documentation (as defined below) setting forth the Commercially Reasonable
Efforts Revolving Credit Facility Amount and then only in accordance with the
respective terms and conditions set forth therein or (b) shall require us or
any of our respective affiliates to pay any fees, incur any costs (other than
ordinary course reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses), suffer any loss or agree
to do any other thing in order to assist you in providing the Commercially
Reasonable Efforts Revolving Credit Facility Amount.

No
other financing will be required to fund the Acquisition consideration, to
effect the Refinancing and to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection
therewith.  Immediately following the
Transactions, neither Borrower nor any of its subsidiaries will have any
indebtedness for borrowed money or preferred equity other than the Bank
Facilities, the 2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024, the
1.375% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025, the 3.25% Convertible
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 and certain other limited indebtedness to be
mutually agreed.  As used herein, the
term “Transactions” means the Acquisition, the Refinancing, the initial
borrowings under the Bank Facilities and the payments of fees, commissions and
expenses in connection with each of the foregoing.

Commitments.

You have requested that UBS,
BA and GSCP (collectively, the “Initial Lenders”) commit to provide the
Committed Bank Facilities and that UBSS and BAS agree to structure, arrange and
syndicate the Bank Facilities (the “Joint Lead Arrangers”).

UBS, BA and GSCP are pleased
to advise you of their several, but not joint, commitments to provide 45%,
27.5% and 27.5%, respectively, of the entire amount of the Committed Bank Facilities
to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Commitment Letter.  The commitments of
the Initial Lenders hereunder and any amount to be provided under the
Commercially Reasonable Efforts Revolving Credit Facility Amount, if any, are
subject to the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation
(the “Bank Documentation”) with respect to the Bank Facilities
reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Lenders and you reflecting the terms and
conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, in Annex II hereto (the “Conditions
Annex”) and in the letter of even date herewith addressed to you providing,
among other things, for certain fees relating to the Bank Facilities (the “Fee
Letter”).  You agree that the closing
date of the Transactions and the concurrent closing of the Bank Facilities (the
“Closing Date”) shall be a date mutually agreed upon between you and us.

 

Syndication.

It is agreed that each of
UBSS and BAS will act as a joint lead arranger for the Bank Facilities, each of
UBSS, BAS and GSCP will act as a joint book manager for the Bank Facilities
(collectively, the “Joint Bookmanagers”) and in consultation with you,
will exclusively manage the syndication of the Bank Facilities, and will, in
such capacities, exclusively perform the duties and exercise the authority
customarily associated with such roles. 
It is further agreed that no additional advisors, agents, co-agents,
arrangers or book managers will be appointed outside the terms contained herein
(including the Term Sheet) and no Lender (as defined below) will receive
compensation with respect to any aspect of the Bank Facilities outside the
terms contained herein (including the Term Sheet) and in the Fee Letter in
order to obtain its commitment to participate therein, in each case unless you
and we so agree.  You agree that UBS will
be “on the left” in all syndication and other marketing and promotional
materials and advertisements relating to the Bank Facilities.

The Initial Lenders reserve
the right, prior to or after execution of the Bank Documentation with respect
to the Bank Facilities in consultation with you, to syndicate all or a portion
of its loans and/or commitments to one or more institutions (other than those
certain institutions previously identified by you to us, if any, prior to the
date of this Commitment Letter to be excluded from syndication, the “Blacklist”)
that will become parties to the Bank Documentation (the Initial Lenders and the
institutions becoming parties to the Bank Documentation with respect to all or
a portion of the Bank Facilities, the “Lenders”); provided
that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein, the
failure to form a syndicate is not a condition to our commitments with respect
to the Committed Bank Facilities hereunder and provided
further that notwithstanding our right to syndicate the Bank Facilities and
receive commitments with respect thereto, any assignment prior to the Closing
Date shall not decrease our commitments until the Closing Date.

The Joint Bookmanagers will
exclusively manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication of
the Bank Facilities, including selection of additional Lenders (other than the
Blacklist), determination of when the Joint Bookmanagers will approach such
potential additional Lenders, awarding of any naming rights and the final
allocations of the commitments in respect of the Bank Facilities among the
additional Lenders.  You agree to, and to
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to, actively
assist the Joint Bookmanagers in achieving a timely syndication of the Bank
Facilities that is reasonably satisfactory to the Joint Bookmanagers and
you.  To assist the Joint Bookmanagers in
their syndication efforts, you agree that you will, and will cause your
representatives and advisors to, and will use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the Acquired Business and its representatives and advisors to,
(a) promptly prepare and provide all financial and other information as we
may reasonably request (and, in the case of information relating to the
Acquired Business and its subsidiaries, to the extent made available to you
after using commercially reasonable efforts) with respect to you, the Acquired
Business, and your and their respective subsidiaries and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including but not limited to financial projections (the “Projections”)
relating to the foregoing, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that such syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending
relationships and those of the Acquired Business, (c) make available to
prospective Lenders your senior management and advisors and, to the extent
applicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to
prospective Lenders those of the Acquired Business, (d) host, with the
Joint Bookmanagers, one or more meetings with prospective Lenders, (e) assist
the Joint Bookmanagers in the preparation of one or more customary confidential
information memoranda and other customary marketing materials to be used in
connection with the syndication of the Bank Facilities and (f) use
commercially reasonable

 

efforts to obtain, at
your expense, monitored public ratings of the Bank Facilities from Moody’s
Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”)
in a timely manner and to participate actively in the process of securing such
ratings, including having your senior management and, to the extent applicable,
use commercially reasonable efforts to have those of the Acquired Business meet
with such rating agencies.

You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Commitment Parties will make
available Information and Projections (collectively, “Borrower Materials”)
to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Borrower Materials on
IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b)
certain of the proposed Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material
non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public
Lender”).  You hereby agree that (w)
you will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the
Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and include a
reasonably detailed term sheet among such Borrower Materials and that all
Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be
clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that
the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by
marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” you shall be deemed to have authorized the
Commitment Parties and the proposed Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as
not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or
its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws,
it being understood that certain of such Borrower Materials may be subject to
the confidentiality requirements of the Bank Documentation; (y) all Borrower
Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion
of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the Commitment Parties
shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC”
as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public
Investor.”

Information.

You hereby represent and
covenant (and solely with respect to the Acquired Business and its subsidiaries
and any information or representations provided by the Acquired Business, you
hereby represent and covenant to your knowledge) that (a) all information
(other than the Projections and general economic or industry data) that has
been or will be made available to us or any of the Lenders by you, the Acquired
Business, or any of your or its respective representatives in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Information”), when taken as
a whole, is and will be true and correct in all material respects and does not
and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which such statements are made, not materially
misleading and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made
available to us or any of the Lenders by you, the Acquired Business, or any of
your or its respective representatives in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon
assumptions believed by you to be reasonable (it being understood that
projections by their nature are inherently uncertain and no assurances are
being given that the results reflected in the Projections will be
achieved).  You agree to supplement the
Information and the Projections from time to time prior to the Closing Date, to
the extent necessary, so that the representations and warranties contained in
this paragraph remain true and correct in all material respects.

 

Compensation.

As consideration for the
commitments of the Lenders hereunder with respect to the Committed Bank
Facilities (and any Commercially Reasonable Efforts Revolving Credit Facility
Amount committed to by the Lenders) and the agreement of the Joint Bookmanagers
to structure, arrange and syndicate the Committed Bank Facilities (and with
respect to any Commercially Reasonable Efforts Revolving Credit Facility
Amount, the agreement of the Joint Bookmanagers to use commercially reasonable
efforts to so arrange and syndicate such amount) and to provide advisory services
in connection therewith, you agree to pay, or cause to be paid, the fees set
forth in the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter if the Closing Date occurs; provided however that (a) the Ticking Fee (as defined in the
Fee Letter), if any, shall be payable on the terms set forth in the Fee Letter
irrespective of whether the Closing Date occurs and (b) the expense
reimbursement and indemnification provisions of this Commitment Letter shall
not be affected by any nonoccurrence of the Closing Date.  Once paid, such fees and expenses shall not
be refundable under any circumstances.

Conditions.

The
commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder with respect to the Committed Bank
Facilities and the Joint Bookmanagers’ agreement to perform the services
described herein are subject to (i) since December 31, 2005 and except as
disclosed in any form, report, schedule, statement or other document, including
any exhibits thereto, required to be filed by the Acquired Business with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission that were so filed prior to
the date of this Commitment Letter, no change, effect or circumstance occurring that (1) is materially adverse to the
business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance,
properties or prospects of the Acquired Business and its Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, or (2) materially adversely affects the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement (an “Acquired
Business Material Adverse Effect”); provided,
however, that in no event shall any of the following, either alone or in
combination, be deemed to constitute, nor shall any of the following be taken
into account in determining whether there has been or will or could be, an Acquired
Business Material Adverse Effect:  (A)
any changes resulting from or arising out of general market, economic or
political conditions (including any changes arising out of acts of terrorism,
or war, weather conditions or other force majeure events), provided that such
changes do not have a substantially disproportionate impact on the Acquired
Business and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (B) any changes resulting from
or arising out of general market, economic or political conditions in the industries
in which the Acquired Business or any of its Subsidiaries conduct business
(including any changes arising out of acts of terrorism, or war, weather
conditions or other force majeure events), provided that such changes do not
have a substantially disproportionate impact on the Acquired Business and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (C) any changes resulting from or arising out
of actions taken pursuant to (and required by) the Acquisition Agreement or the
failure to take any actions due to restrictions set forth in the Acquisition
Agreement, (D) any changes in the price or trading volume of the Acquired Business’
stock, in and of itself, (E) any failure by the Acquired Business to meet
published revenue or earnings projections, in and of itself, (F) any changes or
effects arising out of or resulting from any legal claims or other proceedings
made by any of the Acquired Business’ stockholders arising out of or related to
the Acquisition Agreement or the Acquisition or (G) any changes arising out of
or resulting from any delay with respect to the receipt by the Acquired Business
or any of its Subsidiaries of pending regulatory approvals relating to its proposed
product offerings of no longer than three months after the date that the
Acquired Business has informed Borrower it expects to obtain such pending
regulatory approvals (provided that at all times during such period, such
approvals are still pending and can be reasonably expected to be

 

obtained within such period); and
(ii) any condition set forth in the Term Sheet or the Conditions Annex not
being satisfied or any representation, covenant or agreement in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter not being
complied with in any material respect.

Notwithstanding
anything in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Conditions Annex, the
Fee Letter, the Bank Documentation or any other letter agreement or other
undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions contemplated hereby to
the contrary, (i) the only representations relating to the Acquired
Business and their subsidiaries and businesses the making of which shall be a
condition to availability of the Bank Facilities on the Closing Date shall be
(A) such of the representations made by the Acquired Business in the
Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders except to
the extent any breach of such representations shall not give you the right to
terminate your obligations under the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition
Agreement Representations”) and (B) the Specified Representations (as
defined below) and (ii) the terms of the Bank Documentation shall be in a form
such that they do not impair availability of the Bank Facilities on the Closing
Date if the conditions set forth herein and in the Term Sheet and the
Conditions Annex are satisfied (it being understood that, to the extent any
collateral (other than collateral that may be perfected by filing of a UCC
financing statement, delivery of a physical stock certificate and related stock
power or, in the case of foreign collateral of any foreign co-borrower, making
of a similar filing in a foreign jurisdiction) referred to in the Term Sheet
under “Security” is not provided on the Closing Date after your use of commercially
reasonable efforts to do so, the delivery of such collateral shall not
constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Bank Facilities on
the Closing Date but shall be required to be delivered after the Closing Date
pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed).  For purposes hereof, “Specified
Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Acquired
Business set forth in Term Sheet relating to corporate power and authority and
the enforceability of the Bank Documentation, in each case as they relate to
the entering into and performance of the Bank Documentation, Federal Reserve
margin regulations and the Investment Company Act.

Clear Market.

From the date of this
Commitment Letter until our completion of primary syndication of the Bank
Facilities (as reasonably determined by us and notified in writing to you) of
each portion of the Bank Facilities, you will (and with respect to the Acquired
Business, until the Closing Date, you will use commercially reasonably efforts
to) ensure that no financing for Borrower, the Acquired Business or any of your
or its respective subsidiaries is announced, syndicated or placed without the
prior written consent of the Commitment Parties if such financing, syndication
or placement would have, in the reasonable judgment of the Commitment Parties,
a detrimental effect upon the syndication of the Bank Facilities.

Indemnity and Expenses.

By your acceptance below,
you hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties
and the other Lenders and our and their respective affiliates (including,
without limitation, controlling persons) and the directors, officers,
employees, advisors and agents of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified
Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, costs, expenses,
damages or liabilities (or actions or other proceedings commenced or threatened
in respect thereof) that arise out of or in connection with this Commitment
Letter, the Term Sheet, the Conditions Annex, the Fee Letter, the Bank Facilities
or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the providing or
syndication of the Bank Facilities (or the actual or proposed use of the
proceeds thereof), and to reimburse each

 

Indemnified Person
promptly upon its written demand for any reasonable and documented legal or
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend
or defending against, or participating in, any such loss, claim, cost, expense,
damage, liability or action or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified
Person is a party to any action or proceeding); provided
that any such obligation to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse an
Indemnified Person shall not be applicable to the extent determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
primarily from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Person.  You shall not be
liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without your written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment
against an Indemnified Person, you shall, subject to the proviso in the
preceding sentence, indemnify such Indemnified Person from and against any loss
or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  You shall not, without the prior written
consent of any Indemnified
Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which such Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless
such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified
Person.  None of us or any other Lender
(or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to
Borrower, the Acquired Business or any of your or its respective subsidiaries,
affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any indirect,
punitive or consequential damages which may be alleged as a result of this
Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Conditions Annex, the Fee Letter, the
Bank Facilities or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  In addition, you hereby agree to reimburse us
upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable and documented legal fees and
expenses of the Commitment Parties (limited to one primary counsel and, to the
extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (subject to
the need for additional counsel as a result of conflicts), appraisal, consulting
and audit fees (to the extent any such appraisal, consulting or audit was
initiated with Borrower’s consent), and printing, reproduction, document
delivery, travel, communication and publicity costs) incurred in connection
with the syndication and execution of the Bank Facilities, and the preparation,
review, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter, the Term
Sheet, the Conditions Annex, the Fee Letter and the Bank Documentation; provided however that Borrower also agrees to reimburse BA
and BAS for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Moore & Van
Allen, PLLC incurred in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation,
execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the
Conditions Annex, the Fee Letter and related documentation known to Borrower
through the date of this Commitment Letter. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment
Letter or in the Term Sheet, if the Seller Financial Advisor (as defined
below), BAS, BA and/or its affiliates arranges financing for a successful
competing bidder for the Acquired Business, Borrower shall not be required to
reimburse BAS, BA or any of its affiliates for the fees and expenses of Moore
& Van Allen, PLLC incurred in connection with the preparation, review,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet,
the Conditions Annex, the Fee Letter and related documentation known to
Borrower.

Borrower agrees that none of the Commitment Parties nor any of their respective
affiliates (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 12b-2 of the General
Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended),
officers, directors, agents (other than agents who are not appointed with
Borrower’s express consent), employees or controlling persons shall have any
liability to Borrower or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right
of Borrower in connection with or as a result of either the commitments of the
Commitment Parties under this Commitment Letter or any matter

 

referred
to in this Commitment Letter, including, without limitation, related services
and activities conducted since the date hereof except, with respect to a
Commitment Party, to the extent that it shall be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a judgment that has become final in that it is no longer
subject to appeal or other review that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses incurred by Borrower and its affiliates (as such term is defined
for purposes of Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), officers, directors,
employees or controlling persons resulted primarily from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Commitment Party in performing the services that
are the subject of this Commitment Letter.

Confidentiality.

This Commitment Letter is
delivered to you upon the condition that neither the existence of this
Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Conditions Annex, the Fee Letter nor any
of their contents shall be disclosed by you or any of your subsidiaries,
directly or indirectly, to any other person, except that such existence and
contents may be disclosed (i) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative
proceeding or as otherwise required by law and (ii) to your directors,
officers, employees, legal counsel and accountants, in each case on a
confidential and “need-to-know” basis and only in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.  In
addition, this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Conditions Annex and the
Fee Letter (but, in the case of the Fee Letter, only with appropriate
redactions that are satisfactory to the Joint Bookmanagers) may be disclosed to
the Acquired Business and its directors, officers, employees, advisors and
agents, in each case on a confidential and “need-to-know” basis and only in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Other Services.

You acknowledge and agree
that we and/or our affiliates may be requested to provide additional services
with respect to Borrower, the Acquired Business and/or their respective
affiliates or other matters contemplated hereby.  Any such services will be set out in and governed
by a separate agreement(s) (containing terms relating, without limitation, to
services, fees and indemnification) in form and substance satisfactory to the
parties thereto.  Nothing in this
Commitment Letter is intended to obligate or commit us or any of our affiliates
to provide any services other than as set out herein.

Conflicts
of Interest.

You acknowledge that and
waive any conflict of interest arising in connection with:

(a)                                  each of the
Commitment Parties and/or their respective affiliates (the “Commitment Party
Group”), in its capacity as principal or agent is involved in a wide range
of commercial banking and investment banking activities globally (including
investment advisory; asset management; research; securities issuance, trading,
and brokerage) from which conflicting interests or duties may arise and therefore,
conflicts may arise between duties of each of the Commitment Parties hereunder
and other duties or interests of each of the Commitment Parties or another
member of the Commitment Party Group;

(b)                                 each of the
Commitment Parties and any other member of the Commitment Party Group may, at
any time, (i) provide services to any other person, (ii) engage in

 

any transaction (on its own account or otherwise) with respect to you
or any member of the same group as you or (iii) act in relation to any matter
for any other person whose interests may be adverse to you or any member of
your group (including, but not limited to, the Acquired Business) (a “Third
Party”), and may retain for its own benefit any related remuneration or
profit, notwithstanding that a conflict of interest exists or may arise and/or
any member of the Commitment Party Group is in possession or has come or comes
into possession (whether before, during or after the agreements hereunder) of
information confidential to you; provided that such information shall not be
shared with any Third Party. You accept that permanent or ad hoc arrangements/information barriers
may be used between and within divisions of each of the Commitment Parties or
other members of the Commitment Party Group for this purpose and that locating
directors, officers or employees in separate workplaces is not necessary for
such purpose;

(c)                                  information
which is held elsewhere within any of the Commitment Parties or the Commitment
Party Group but of which none of the individual directors, officers or
employees having the conduct of transactions contemplated by this letter actually
has knowledge (or can properly obtain knowledge without breach of internal
procedures), shall not for any purpose be taken into account in determining
each of the Commitment Parties’ respective responsibilities to you hereunder;
and

(d)                                 none of the
Commitment Parties nor any other member of the Commitment Party Group shall
have any duty to disclose to, or utilize for the benefit of, you, any
non-public information acquired in the course of providing services to any
other person, engaging in any transaction (on its own account or otherwise) or
otherwise carrying on its business.

Each of the Commitment
Parties and the Commitment Party Group operate rules, policies and procedures,
including independence policies and permanent and ad hoc information barriers between and within divisions of
each of the Commitment Parties and other members of the Commitment Party Group,
directed to ensuring that (i) the individual directors, officers and employees
involved in an assignment undertaken by a member of the Commitment Party Group
(including the engagement hereunder) are not influenced by any such conflicting
interest or duty and (ii) that any confidential information held by a member of
the Commitment Party Group is not disclosed or made available to any other client.

BAS and/or its affiliates have been retained as the sell-side financial
advisor to the Acquired Business (in such capacity, the “Seller Financial
Advisor”) in connection with the Acquisition.  You waive any claim you
may have based on the actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise
or result from the engagement of the Seller Financial Advisor and from BAS
and/or its affiliates arranging or providing or contemplating arranging or
providing financing for a competing bidder.

You acknowledge the Seller Financial Advisor role of BAS and/or its
affiliates and that, in such capacity, (i) the Seller Financial Advisor
may recommend to the Acquired Business that the Acquired Business not pursue or
accept your offer or proposal, (ii) the Seller Financial Advisor may advise the
Acquired Business in other manners adverse to your interests, including,
without limitation, by providing advice on pricing, leverage levels, and timing
of closing with respect to your bid, taking other

 

actions
with respect to your bid and taking action under any definitive agreement
between you and the Acquired Business, and (iii) the Seller Financial Advisor
may acquire information about the Acquired Business, the Acquisition, and other
potential purchasers and their strategies and proposals, but the Seller Financial
Advisor shall have no obligation to disclose to you the substance of such
information or the fact that it is in possession thereof.

No
Fiduciary Relationship.

You
hereby acknowledge that, if any Bank Documentation is executed and delivered,
the Commitment Parties would be acting solely as initial lenders,
administrative agent, collateral agent, syndication agent, documentation agent,
issuing bank, swingline lender, arrangers or bookrunners in connection with the
Bank Facilities.  You further acknowledge
that the Commitment Parties would be acting pursuant to a contractual
relationship created solely by such Bank Documentation entered into on an arm’s
length basis and in no event do the parties intend that the Commitment Parties
act or be responsible as a fiduciary to you or any of your subsidiaries, your
stockholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity
that the Commitment Parties may undertake or has undertaken in furtherance of

  Facility are herein referred to collectively as the “Committed Bank

  In addition, the Commitment Parties will use

  passu basis by the same collateral securing, the Bank Facilities
  and otherwise having the terms provided for in the Revolving Credit Facility
  (the “Additional Revolving Credit Availability”), provided that (i) the Additional
  Revolving Credit Availability shall not exceed $100.0 million, (ii) no event
  of default or default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto,
  (iii) all financial covenants would be satisfied on a pro forma basis on such date and for the

  events, including any acquisitions or dispositions after the beginning of the

  Purpose:

  	
   

  	
  Proceeds of the Term Loan Facility and not more than
  $250.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility will be used on the Closing
  Date to finance a portion of the Acquisition consideration and the
  Refinancing and to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection
  therewith.  Following the Closing Date,
  the Revolving Credit Facility will also be used by Borrower and its
  subsidiaries for working capital and general corporate purposes (including
  permitted acquisitions).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Closing Date:

  	
   

  	
  The date of the closing of the Acquisition, but not
  later than July 31, 2007.

  be later than May 1, 2014.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Revolving Credit Facility:  six (6) years from the Closing Date.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Availability:

  precedent to drawing specified herein, in the Commitment Letter and in the
  Conditions Annex, a single drawing may be made on the Closing Date of up to
  the full amount of the Term Loan Facility.

  

 

 

 

	
  

  	
   

  	
  Revolving Credit Facility:  Upon satisfaction or waiver of conditions
  precedent to drawing specified herein, in the Commitment Letter and in the
  Conditions Annex, borrowings may be made at any time on or after the Closing
  Date to but excluding the business day preceding the maturity date of the
  Revolving Credit Facility; provided,
  however that not more than $250.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility
  may be drawn on the Closing Date.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Letters of Credit:

  	
   

  	
  Up to $35.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility
  will be available for letters of credit, on customary terms and conditions to

  irrevocable and unconditional participation in each Letter of Credit.  Each letter of credit shall expire not
  later than the earlier of (i) 12 months after its date of issuance and
  (ii) the seventh day prior to the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit
  Facility; provided that any
  letter of credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year
  periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause
  (ii) above).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Drawings under any letter of credit shall be
  reimbursed by Borrower on the same business day on which Borrower receives
  notice of such drawing from the Issuing Bank. 
  To the extent that Borrower does not reimburse the Issuing Bank on the
  same business day, the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be
  irrevocably obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank pro rata based upon their respective Revolving
  Credit Facility commitments.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  The issuance of all letters of credit shall be
  subject to the customary procedures of the Issuing Bank.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Swingline Facility:

  	
   

  	
  Up to $20.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility
  will be available for swingline borrowings, on customary terms and conditions

  Each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility will purchase an
  irrevocable and unconditional participation in each swingline loan.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Except for purposes of calculating the commitment
  fee described below, any swingline borrowings will reduce availability under
  the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Amortization:

  	
   

  	
  Term Loan Facility:  The Term Loan Facility will amortize in
  equal quarterly installments in annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original
  principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, with the balance payable on the
  Maturity Date.

  

 

 

 

	
  

  	
   

  	
  Revolving Credit Facility:  None.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Interest:

  	
   

  	
  At Borrower’s option, loans will bear interest based
  on the Base Rate or LIBOR, as described below (except that all swingline
  borrowings will accrue interest based on the Base Rate):

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  A.  Base
  Rate Option

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Interest will be at the Base Rate plus the
  applicable Interest Margin, calculated on the basis of the actual number of
  days elapsed in a year of 365 days and payable quarterly in arrears.  The Base Rate is defined as the higher of
  the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
  plus 1/2 of 1% and the prime commercial lending rate of BA.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Base Rate borrowings (other than swingline
  borrowings) will require one business day’s prior notice and will be in
  minimum amounts to be mutually agreed upon.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  B.  LIBOR
  Option

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Interest will be determined for periods to be
  selected by Borrower (“Interest Periods”) of one, two, three or six or
  (if available to all applicable Lenders) nine or twelve months and will be at
  an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)
  for the corresponding deposits of U.S. dollars, plus the applicable Interest
  Margin.  LIBOR will be determined by
  the Administrative Agent at the start of each Interest Period and will be
  fixed through such period.  Interest
  will be paid at the end of each Interest Period or, in the case of Interest
  Periods longer than three months, quarterly, and will be calculated on the
  basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.  LIBOR will be adjusted for maximum
  statutory reserve requirements (if any).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  LIBOR borrowings will require three business days’
  prior notice for U.S. dollar borrowings and four business days’ prior notice
  for any foreign currency loans and will be in minimum amounts to be mutually
  agreed upon.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Default Interest and Fees:

  	
   

  	
  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
  payment or bankruptcy event of default, interest will accrue (i) in the case
  of overdue or unpaid (in the case of a bankruptcy event of default)
  principal, interest or premium (if any) on any loan at a rate of 2.0% per
  annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such loan and (ii) in the case of
  any other overdue or unpaid (in the case of a bankruptcy event of default)
  amount, at a rate of 2.0% per 

  

 

 

 

	
  

  	
   

  	
  annum plus the non-default interest rate then
  applicable to Base Rate loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. Default
  interest shall be payable on demand.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Interest Margins:

  	
   

  	
  The applicable Interest Margin will be the basis
  points set forth in the following table; provided
  that after the date on which Borrower shall have delivered financial
  statements for the first fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, the
  Interest Margins with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility will be
  subject to step-downs to be mutually agreed upon.

  Mandatory Prepayments:

  	
   

  	
  Loans shall be prepaid in an amount equal to
  (a) 100% of the net proceeds received from the sale or other disposition

  be mutually agreed).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  There will be no prepayment penalties (except LIBOR

  Application of Prepayments:

  	
   

  	
  Optional prepayments will be applied in the manner
  directed by Borrower.  Mandatory
  prepayments will be applied in a manner to be mutually agreed.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Guarantees:

  	
   

  	
  The Facilities will be fully and unconditionally
  guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of the existing and future
  direct and indirect subsidiaries of Borrower and those of any co-borrower
  (collectively, the “Guarantors”), subject to (i) exceptions for
  foreign subsidiaries (in the event there is a foreign subsidiary co-borrower,
  to the extent such guarantees would be prohibited by applicable law or would
  result in adverse tax consequences), (ii) exceptions for immaterial
  subsidiaries to be mutually agreed (with such subsidiaries becoming
  Guarantors to the extent they exceed any of certain financial thresholds to
  be mutually agreed) and (iii) other exceptions to be mutually agreed.  If there is a co-borrower, Borrower will
  guarantee the obligations of such co-borrower, and the co-borrower will guarantee
  the obligations of Borrower, unless the co-borrower is a foreign entity, in
  which case the co-borrower shall only guarantee Borrower’s obligations to the
  extent such guarantees would not be prohibited by applicable law or would not
  result in adverse tax consequences.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Security:

  	
   

  	
  The Facilities and any hedging and/or treasury
  management obligations to which a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender is a
  counterparty will be secured by perfected first priority (subject to
  exceptions to be mutually agreed) pledges of all of the equity interests of
  each of Borrower’s and each Guarantors’ direct subsidiaries, and perfected
  first priority (subject to exceptions to be mutually agreed) security
  interests in and mortgages on substantially all tangible and intangible
  assets (including, without limitation, accounts receivable, inventory,
  equipment, general intangibles, intercompany notes, insurance policies,
  investment property,

  

 

 

 

	
  

  	
   

  	
  intellectual property, material owned real property,
  cash and proceeds of the foregoing but in any event excluding vehicles,
  leased real property and certain deposit accounts to be mutually agreed) of
  Borrower and the Guarantors, wherever located, now or hereafter owned, except
  to the extent such pledge would be prohibited by applicable law or would
  result in materially adverse tax consequences, and subject to such other
  exceptions as are agreed, in each case except for those assets as to which
  parties mutually agree that the cost of obtaining a security interest therein
  are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded
  thereby.

  Assignments and Participations:

  	
   

  	
  Each Lender may assign all or, subject to minimum
  amounts to be mutually agreed, a portion of its loans and commitments under
  one or more of the Facilities to one or more institutions (other than the
  Blacklist).  After the completion of
  primary syndication (as determined by the Commitment Parties), assignments
  will require payment by the assigning or assignee Lenders of an
  administrative fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent and the consents of
  the Administrative Agent and Borrower (and in the case of assignments of the
  Revolving Credit Facility, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which
  consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) no consents shall be
  required for an assignment to an existing Lender or an affiliate of an
  existing Lender and (ii) no consent of Borrower shall be required during an
  event of default (by reason of a payment default or a bankruptcy
  default).  In addition, each Lender may
  sell participations in all or a portion of its loans and commitments under
  one or more of the Facilities; provided
  that no purchaser of a participation shall have the right to exercise or to
  cause the selling Lender to exercise voting rights in respect of the

  Expenses and Indemnification:

  	
   

  	
  All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses
  (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and expenses (limited to
  one primary counsel and, to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each
  relevant jurisdiction (subject to the need for additional counsel as a result
  of conflicts) and expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and
  travel, courier, reproduction, printing and delivery expenses) of each of the
  Commitment Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
  Issuing Bank associated with the syndication of the Facilities and with the
  preparation, execution and delivery, administration, amendment, waiver or
  modification (including proposed amendments, waivers or modifications) of the
  documentation contemplated hereby are to be paid by Borrower.  In addition, all out-of-pocket expenses
  (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and expenses) of the
  Lenders and the Administrative Agent for workout proceedings, enforcement
  costs and documentary taxes associated with the Facilities are to be paid by
  Borrower.

  

 

 

 

	
  

  	
   

  	
  The Bank Documentation will contain indemnification
  provisions requiring that Borrower will indemnify the Lenders, each of the
  Commitment Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
  Issuing Bank and their respective affiliates, and hold them harmless from and
  against all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses (including but not
  limited to reasonable legal fees and expenses) and liabilities arising out of
  or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and any actual or
  proposed use of the proceeds of any loans made under the Facilities; provided, however, that no such person will be indemnified for
  costs, expenses or liabilities to the extent determined by a final,
  non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been
  incurred primarily by reason of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
  misconduct of such person.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Yield Protection, Taxes and

  Other Deductions:

  	
   

  	
  

  The Bank Documentation will contain yield protection provisions, customary
  for Bank Facilities of this nature, protecting the Lenders in the event of
  unavailability of LIBOR, breakage losses, reserve and capital adequacy
  requirements.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  All payments are to be free and clear of any present
  or future taxes, withholdings or other deductions on customary terms (other
  than income taxes in the jurisdiction of the Lender’s applicable lending
  office).  The Lenders will use
  commercially reasonable efforts to minimize to the extent possible any
  applicable taxes and Borrower will indemnify the Lenders and the
  Administrative Agent for such taxes paid by the Lenders and the
  Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  Required Lenders:

  	
   

  	
  Lenders holding at least a majority of total loans
  and commitments under the Facilities, with certain customary amendments
  (subject to customary “yank-a-bank” provisions) requiring the consent of
  Lenders holding a greater percentage (or all) of the total loans and
  commitments under the Facilities, it being understood that amendments to
  financial covenants and related definitions will require the consent of
  Lenders holding no more than a majority of total loans and commitments under the
  Facilities.

  

 

 

 

	
  Governing Law and
  Forum:

  	
   

  	
  The laws of the State of New York.  Each party to the Bank Documentation will
  waive the right to trial by jury and will consent to jurisdiction of the
  state and federal courts located in The City of New York.

Bonus.  For Fiscal Year 2007 and for
each subsequent Fiscal Year during the Term, the Executive may also be eligible
to receive a supplemental cash bonus (the “Supplemental
Cash Bonus”), in addition to the Annual Cash Bonus and in an amount

Sick Leave.  The Executive shall be
entitled to four (4) weeks’ paid vacation in each calendar year, which if not
taken during any year may be carried forward to any subsequent year.  Executive shall receive holiday pay and paid
sick leave as provided to other executive employees of Holdings and the
Company.  Upon cessation of Executive’s
employment for any reason, Executive shall receive pay for all accrued and
unused vacation, calculated at his Base Salary rate in effect at the time of

Executive shall be entitled to accrue during the Term shall be in accordance
with Company policy and in no event shall such accrued vacation exceed four (4)
weeks at any given time.

 2
 

 

(g)           Additional Benefits.  During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to participate (for himself and, as applicable, his

dental, life and disability insurance coverage, with payment of, or
reimbursement for, such insurance premiums by the Company, subject to, in all
cases, the terms and conditions established by the Board with respect to such
plans (collectively, the “Benefits”);
provided, however, that the Board, in its discretion, may revise the terms of
any Benefits so long as such revision does not have a disproportionately
negative impact on the Executive vis-à-vis
other Company employees, to the extent applicable.

(h)           Incentive Unit Grant.  On the Effective Date, the Executive shall
receive a grant (the “Equity Grant”)

Company or the Executive as set forth in this Section 1.4.  The Term of the Agreement shall renew
automatically for one-year periods, unless either party gives the other party
written notice of its intention not to renew the Agreement no later than 90

Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company a release that is in form
and substance acceptable to the Company.

(b)           Severance Upon Termination
Without Cause or Upon Resignation by the Executive For Good Reason.  If the Employment Period is terminated by the
Company without Cause or if the Executive resigns for Good Reason, subject to
the Executive’s continued performance of the terms of this Agreement that
survive the Termination Date, the Executive will be entitled to receive (1) (i)
if such termination occurs prior to May 31, 2008, his Base Salary for the
greater of (x) twelve months and (y) the period of time remaining in the period
between the Effective Date and May 31, 2008, (ii) if such termination occurs
after May 31, 2008, his Base Salary equal to twelve months and (2) if such
termination or resignation occurs between July 1 and December 31 in a Fiscal
Year during the Term, Executive will be entitled to a prorated Annual Cash
Bonus based on the number of days during the relevant Fiscal Year that precede
the Termination Date (each of (1) and (2) referred to as the “Severance Payment”).  The Severance Payment shall be payable to the
Executive in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices for the
payment of Base Salary and Annual Cash Bonus, as applicable.  The Executive also shall be entitled to
receive payment for all reimbursable expenses or other entitlements then due
and owing to the Executive as of the Termination Date.  In the event that the Executive breaches his
obligations under Section 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 or 1.9 of
this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to make any Severance Payment and
provide any Benefits shall cease as of the date of such breach.

(c)           Death and Disability.  In the event of the Company terminates this
Agreement due to the death or Disability of the Executive, the Executive shall
be entitled to no severance or other termination benefits from and after the
termination of his employment, except that the Executive or his estate shall be
entitled to the Severance Payment as provided in Section 1.4(b)
hereof.  Any other rights and benefits
the Executive may have under employee benefit plans and programs of the Company
generally in the event of the Executive’s Disability shall be determined in

the Executive’s death shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such
plans and programs.

(d)           Salary and Other Payments
Through Termination.  If the
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated during the Term (i) by
the Company for Cause or (ii) by the Executive other than for Good Reason, the

Employment Period shall cease upon such termination.

1.5           Key Man Life Insurance.  The Company shall have the right to purchase
in the Executive’s name a “key man” life insurance policy naming the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries as the sole beneficiary thereunder.  The Executive agrees to take all reasonable
measures necessary to effect the foregoing, including without limitation
submitting to a physical examination for the purpose of determining eligibility
therefore and cooperating with any matters related to the application for, and
if obtained, the maintenance of, such insurance policy.  If Executive is found ineligible for some
reason for such “key man” life insurance either at the inception of his
employment or at anytime thereafter, this ineligibility will not affect
Executive’s employability under this Agreement or constitute Cause for
termination of Executive’s employment.

1.6           Confidential
Information.

(a)           The Executive shall not
disclose or, directly or indirectly, use at any time, during the Employment
Period or thereafter, any Confidential Information (as defined below) of which
the Executive is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed
by him, except to the extent that (i) such disclosure or use is required by the
Executive’s performance of the duties assigned to the Executive by the Board,
(ii) the Executive is required by subpoena or similar process to disclose or
discuss any Confidential Information, provided, that in such case, the
Executive shall promptly inform the Company of such event and shall cooperate
with the Company in attempting to obtain a protective order or to otherwise
restrict such disclosure, or (iii) such Confidential Information becomes
generally known to and available for use by the public, other than as a result
of any action or inaction by the Executive. 
At the Company’s expense, the Executive shall take all appropriate steps
to safeguard Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure,
misuse, espionage, loss and theft.  The
Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information obtained by him during
the course of his employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is the sole
and exclusive property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable.

(b)           The Executive understands that
the Company and its Subsidiaries will receive from third parties confidential
or proprietary information (“Third Party
Information”) subject to a duty on the part of the Company and its
Subsidiaries to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it
only for certain limited purposes. 
During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way
limiting the provisions of Section 1.6(a) above, the Executive will hold
Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to
anyone (other than personnel of the Company or its Subsidiaries who need to
know such information in connection with their work for the Company or its
Subsidiaries) or use, except in connection with his work for the Company or its
Subsidiaries, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by the Board
in writing.

 5
 

 

(c)           As used in this Agreement, the
term “Confidential Information”
means information that is not generally known to the public and that is used,
developed or obtained by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (including the Company
and its Subsidiaries) and any of the Company’s predecessor entities in
connection with its business, including but not limited to (i) business
development, growth and other strategic business plans, (ii) properties

and customer relationships, and (xvi) all similar and related information in
whatever form.  Confidential Information
shall not include any information that has become generally available to the
public prior to the date the Executive proposes to disclose or use such
information or general know-how of the Executive.

1.7           Inventions and Patents.  In the event that the Executive, as part of
his activities on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, generates,
authors or contributes to any invention, design, new development, device,
product, method or process (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice or
comprising Confidential Information), any copyrightable work (whether or not comprising
Confidential Information) or any other form of Confidential Information
relating directly or indirectly to the business of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries as now or hereinafter conducted (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), the Executive
acknowledges that such Intellectual Property is the sole and exclusive property
of the Company and its Subsidiaries and hereby assigns all right, title and
interest in and to such Intellectual Property to the Company and its
Subsidiaries.  Any copyrightable work
prepared in whole or in part by the Executive will be deemed “a work made for
hire” under Section 201(b) of the 1976 Copyright Act, and the Company and its
Subsidiaries shall own all of the rights comprised in the copyright
therein.  The Executive shall promptly
and fully disclose all Intellectual Property to the Company and shall cooperate
with the Company and its Subsidiaries to protect the Company’s and its
Subsidiaries’ interests in and rights to such Intellectual Property (including,
without limitation, providing reasonable assistance in securing patent
protection and copyright registrations and executing all documents as
reasonably requested by the Company, whether such requests occur prior to or
after termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company).  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligations of Executive shall be limited to and subject
to the terms and provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.8           Delivery of Materials Upon
Termination of Employment.  As
requested by the Company from time to time and upon the termination of the
Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall
promptly deliver to the Company all copies and embodiments, in whatever form,
of all Confidential Information, Intellectual Property and property of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in the Executive’s possession or within his
control (including, but not limited to, office keys, access cards, written
records, notes, photographs, 

 6
 

 

manuals, notebooks, documentation, program listings,
flow charts, magnetic media, disks, diskettes, tapes and any other materials
containing any Confidential Information or Intellectual Property) irrespective
of the location or form of such material and, if requested by the Company,
shall provide the Company with written confirmation that all such materials
have been delivered to the Company.

1.9           Non-Compete,
Non-Solicitation.

(a)           The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that the Executive’s services to the Company and its Subsidiaries are
unique in nature and that the Company and its Subsidiaries would be irreparably
damaged if the Executive were to provide similar services to any Person
competing with the Company and its Subsidiaries or engaged in the
Business.  The Executive further
acknowledges that, in the course of his employment with the Company, he will
become familiar with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ trade secrets and with
other Confidential Information.  During
the Noncompete Period other than as an employee of the Company, he shall not,
directly or indirectly, whether for himself or for any other Person, permit his
name to be used by or participate in any business or enterprise (including,
without limitation, any division, group or franchise of a larger organization)
that engages or proposes to engage in the Business in the Restricted
Territories.  For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “participate in” shall include, without limitation, having
any direct or indirect interest in any Person, whether as a sole proprietor,
owner, stockholder, partner, member, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise, or
rendering any direct or indirect service or assistance to any Person (whether
as a director, officer, supervisor, employee, agent, consultant or
otherwise).  Nothing herein will prohibit
the Executive from mere passive ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of
the outstanding stock of any class of a publicly held corporation whose stock
is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter
market.  As used herein, the phrase “mere
passive ownership” shall include voting or otherwise granting any consents or
approvals required to be obtained from such Person as an owner of stock or
other ownership interests in any entity pursuant to the charter or other
organizational documents of such entity, but shall not include, without
limitation, any involvement in the day-to-day operations of such entity.

(b)           During the Nonsolicitation
Period, the Executive will not directly, or indirectly through another Person,
induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, or other business
relation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to cease doing business with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or induce or attempt to induce any
corporate officer, general manager or other employee of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to terminate such employee’s employment with the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, or hire any such person unless such person’s employment
was terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee,
employee or business relation and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
including, without limitation, knowingly making any negative statements or
communications concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
the Company and its Subsidiaries would be irreparably damaged if the Executive
were to breach any of the provisions contained in this Section 1.9(b).

 

 7

 

1.10         Enforcement.  If, at the time of enforcement of Section
1.6, 1.7, 1.8 or 1.9, a court holds that the
restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing,
the Parties agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the maximum
period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be
substituted for the Noncompete Period, scope or area.  Because the Executive’s services are unique
and because the Executive has access to Confidential Information and Intellectual
Property, the Parties agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy
for any breach of Section 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 or 1.9.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of Section 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 or 1.9,
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or
assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor,
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or
injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of,
the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
(a) performance of the services of the Executive hereunder may occur in jurisdictions
other than the jurisdiction whose law the Parties have agreed shall govern the
construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement, (b) the law of the
State of New York shall govern construction, validity and interpretation of
this Agreement to the fullest extent possible, and (c) Section 1.6, 1.7,
1.8 or 1.9 shall restrict the Executive only to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

1.11         Survival.  Sections 1.6, 1.7, 1.8
and 1.9 will survive and continue in full force in accordance with their
terms notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period.

1.12         Consideration.  The Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges
that the Equity Grant constitutes good and valuable consideration for the
covenant and obligations incurred by Executive pursuant to Section 1.9.

(a)           Except with respect to
disputes and claims under Section 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 or 1.9
hereof (which may be pursued in any court of competent jurisdiction), each
Party agrees that arbitration, pursuant to the rules of the Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service (the “FMCS”)
in effect as of the date of commencement of the arbitration (the “FMCS Rules”), shall be the sole and
exclusive method for resolving any claim or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or relating to the
rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement and the employment
of the Executive by the Company (including, without limitation, claims and
disputes regarding employment discrimination, sexual harassment, termination

Agreement.  The Parties agree that (i)
one arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the FMCS Rules to conduct any
such arbitration and (ii) all meetings of the Parties and all hearings with
respect to any such arbitration shall take place in New York, New York, or if
such Claim does not arise out of or include a Claim under Section 1.9,
then such arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California.  The Parties further agree that, unless
otherwise determined by the arbitrator, (x) each Party to the arbitration shall
bear its own costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all attorneys’
fees and expenses, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law)
and (y) all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (such as filing
fees, the arbitrator’s fees, hearing expenses, etc.) shall be borne equally by
the Parties; provided that nothing herein shall be interpreted to preclude the

award or determination of the arbitration.

does not arise out of or include a Claim under Section 1.9, then to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of
California, and agrees that such court shall be the exclusive forum for the
enforcement of any such final judgment, award or determination of the
arbitration.  Each Party irrevocably
consents to service of process by registered mail or personal service and
waives any objection on the grounds of personal jurisdiction, venue or
inconvenience of the forum.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing,
prior to any Party instituting any arbitration proceeding hereunder to resolve
any Claim, such Party first shall submit the Claim to a mediation proceeding
among the Parties which shall be governed by the prevailing procedures of the
FMCS and shall be conducted in New York, New York, or if such Claim does not
arise out of or include a Claim under Section 1.9, then such mediation
shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California.

pursuant to the mediation within 45 days after the commencement thereof of if
any Party refuses to participate in the mediation process, then the Claim may
be submitted to arbitration under Section 3.2(a)

above.  Unless
otherwise determined by the mediator, each Party shall bear its own costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the mediation, and all costs and expenses
of the mediation proceeding shall be borne equally by the Parties; provided

allocating the costs and expenses of the Parties and of such proceeding among
the Parties in any manner that the arbitrator may lawfully determine to do so.
