The Manager will devote, in its discretion, such time and efforts to the performance of services contemplated hereby as the Manager deems reasonably necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that no minimum number of hours is required to be devoted by the Manager on a weekly, monthly, annual or other basis. Parent and the Company each acknowledge that the Manager’s services are not exclusive to Parent or the Company and that the Manager will render similar services to other Persons. The Manager, Parent and the Company understand that Parent and/or the Company may, at times, engage one or more investment bankers or financial advisers to provide services in addition to, but not in lieu of, Services provided by the Manager under this Agreement. In providing services to Parent and/or the Company, the Manager will act as an independent contractor and it is expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement is not intended to create, and does not create, any partnership, agency, joint venture or similar relationship and that no party hereto has the right or ability to contract for or on behalf of any other party hereto or to effect any transaction for the account of any other party hereto.

The “Periodic Fee” shall be an aggregate annual periodic fee of $3,000,000; provided, however, that from and after the date hereof the Periodic Fee shall be reduced by $270,000 (the “Credit”) until such time as the Manager elects to eliminate such Credit by prior written notice to the Company and cause the Periodic Fee to be $3,000,000. The Periodic Fee will be prorated for any partial period of less than three months. The Manager may elect in its sole discretion to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the Periodic Fee; provided, that any such election to defer shall be made in accordance with and subject to the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder.

Each payment made pursuant to this Section 2 will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the account specified on Schedule 1 hereto, or to such other account(s) as the Manager may specify to the Company in writing prior to such payment.

3. Term. This Agreement will continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2020; provided that this Agreement shall be automatically extended on such date and each December 31 thereafter for an additional year unless the Company or the Manager provides written notice of its desire not to automatically extend the term of this Agreement to the other parties hereto at least 90 days prior to such December 31; and provided further, however, that (a) the Manager may cause this Agreement to terminate at any time and (b) this Agreement will terminate automatically upon an Initial Public Offering or a Change of Control unless the Company and the Manager determine otherwise (the period on and after the date hereof through the termination hereof being referred to herein as the “Term”); and provided further, however, that each of (x) Sections 4, 5 and 8 hereof (whether in respect of or relating to services rendered during or after the Term) will all survive any termination of this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and (y) any and all accrued and unpaid obligations of the Company owed under Section 2 hereof will be paid promptly upon any termination of this Agreement.
