(c)    If the Emergence Credit Facilities prohibit the Company from paying the Advisory Fee in cash, such fee shall accrue and the payment thereof deferred until such time as such prohibition is waived, terminated or otherwise removed, at which time all deferred Advisory Fees shall be immediately due and payable, subject to subparagraph (d) below.

If the Shares are not listed for trading on either the NYSE or NASDAQ Global Select Market at any time on or after the date that is 6 months after the Plan Effective Date (the “Listing Target Date”), then any Advisory Fee accrued for the period (x) between the Listing Target Date and the date the Shares are actually listed for trading on either the NYSE or NASDAQ Global Select Market or (y) during any period thereafter that the Shares are not actually listed for trading on either the NYSE or NASDAQ Global Select Market, shall accrue at 50% of the Base Fee Amount until such listing is achieved; provided, that such reduced rate shall not apply if (a) the Company is notified in writing by NYSE or NASDAQ, as applicable, that it was not listed solely due to not meeting the requisite financial criteria for listing under NYSE’s Rule 102.01C or NASDAQ’s Rule 5315(f)(3), as applicable, or, (b) if not so notified, Platinum and non-Platinum Backstop Parties who wish to participate in such determination mutually determine that the Company was not listed solely due to not meeting the requisite financial criteria for listing. Following the date the Shares are and so long as the Shares remain listed on either the NYSE or NASDAQ Global Select Market, the Advisory Fee shall return to the Base Fee Amount for the period following such listing.

(e)    The Advisory Fee shall be subject to value added tax, sales tax or other similar taxes, where applicable.

7.    Representation and Warranties.

(a)    Advisor represents and warrants that as of the date hereof that Advisor is a company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of Delaware, and all corporate and other internal authorization required for the execution of this Agreement have been obtained, and (ii) this Agreement does not materially violate any agreements to which Advisor is a party.

8.    Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

(a)    Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective partners (both general and limited), members (both managing and otherwise), officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, whether joint or several (the “Liabilities”), related to, arising out of or in connection with the Services contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of Advisor pursuant to, and the performance by Advisor of the Services contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party, whether or not resulting in any liability and whether or not such action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Company or any other Group member. The Company will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, defending or assisting in the defense of any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding for which the Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of the previous sentence, or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto. The Company hereby acknowledges that certain Indemnified Parties have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Advisor and its Affiliates in connection with the Indemnified Party’s activities on behalf of Advisor and its Affiliates, including acting as a director of a current or former portfolio company that Advisor and its Affiliates intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify such Indemnified Party pursuant to and in accordance with the indemnification provision in this Section 8(a). The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Company is the indemnitor of first resort and the Company is wholly and primarily responsible for the payment of any and all indemnification to which any Indemnified Party is entitled under this Section 8(a) or otherwise pursuant to any rights that the Company has granted to such Indemnified Party in connection with its performance of the Services, and any obligation of Advisor and its Affiliates to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party is secondary, (b) any such indemnification and expenses shall be paid by or on behalf of the Company, and (c) the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases Advisor and its Affiliates from any and all

4

claims against Advisor and its Affiliates for contribution, reimbursement, subrogation, set-off, exoneration or otherwise from any of Advisor and its Affiliates thereof for amounts paid in respect thereof. The Company further agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless each of Advisor and its Affiliates for any and all amounts for which the Company is wholly and primarily responsible under this Section 8(a) in the event that any of Advisor and its Affiliates actually pays any such amounts for any reason to or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. The Company will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision with respect to any particular loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense of an Indemnified Party that is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final judgment from which no further appeal may be taken, to have resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnified Party. The attorneys’ fees and other expenses of an Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred conditioned upon receipt, in each case, of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay such amounts if a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final non-appealable judgment that the Liabilities in question resulted primarily from willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Party. If such indemnification is for any reason not available or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, the Company agrees to contribute to the Liabilities involved in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received (or anticipated to be received) by the Group, on the one hand, and by Advisor, on the other hand, with respect to the Services or, if such allocation is determined by a court or arbitral tribunal to be unavailable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect other equitable considerations such as the relative fault of the Group, on the one hand, and of Advisor, on the other hand; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnified Parties shall not be responsible for amounts in excess of the Advisory Fee accrued by the Company in the prior twelve months (but only to the extent actually received by Advisor. Relative benefits to the Group, on the one hand, and to Advisor, on the other hand, with respect to the Services shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Group in connection with the Services or any transactions to which the Services relate bears to (ii) all fees actually received by Advisor in connection with the Services. The provisions of this Section 8(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)    Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate monetary or other liability that Advisor shall have to the Company, a Group member or any other party (including, without limitation, the Company’s or a Group member’s officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives and stockholders) with respect to any and all claims (on a cumulative basis) related to or in connection with the breach or alleged breach hereof by Advisor, or related to or in connection with the Services provided or to be provided hereunder, shall be limited to the Advisory Fee accrued by the Company in the prior twelve months (but only to the extent actually received by Advisor). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Advisor shall not be liable under any circumstance for any special, consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary, or similar, damages arising from its provision of the Services or otherwise related to or in connection with this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.    Permissible Activities. Subject to applicable law, nothing herein will in any way preclude Advisor or its Affiliates (other than the Group and its respective employees) or their respective partners (both general and limited), members (both managing and otherwise), officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives from engaging in any business activities or from performing services for its or their own account or for the account of others, including for companies that may be in competition with the business conducted by the Group.

5

mutually agree with respect to the extent and/or the frequency of the data to be so furnished to Advisor.

(b)    During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of 2 years after the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Advisor shall not directly or indirectly disclose Information to any person or entity or use any Information for its own benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity without the Company’s prior written consent.    All records, files, documents and equipment relating to the Company’s business which Advisor shall prepare, use, or come into contact with, shall be and remain the Company’s sole property and shall be returned to the Company (or, at Advisor’s option, destroyed) upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.
