Indemnity.

To induce the Commitment Parties and the Consenting Lenders to enter into this Commitment Letter and the Arranger Fee Letter, as applicable, and to proceed with the Incremental Term Facility Documentation, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Commitment Parties, the Consenting Lenders and each of their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and other representatives and successors (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after demand therefor as the same are incurred) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all Indemnified Parties and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnified Parties) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) any aspect of the Transactions, or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Incremental Term Facility, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense (i) is found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified

4


Party’s (or any of its affiliate's) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, (ii) is found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from a material breach of the definitive documents with respect to the Incremental Term Facility by such Indemnified Party or one of its Affiliates or (iii) arises from any dispute to the extent such dispute does not arise from any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party (other than claims against a Commitment Party or a Consenting Lender in its capacity as an administrative agent, arranger or similar role for the Incremental Term Facility). In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the Transactions is consummated. You also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to you or your subsidiaries or affiliates or to your or their respective equity holders, directors, partners, or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the Transactions, except to the extent of your direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter agreement, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems.

If the foregoing indemnification is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold any Indemnified Party harmless other than by virtue of the exceptions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the prior paragraph, the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim or damage in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Borrower on the one hand and each Indemnified Party on the other arising out of the matters contemplated by this letter agreement.

By executing this letter agreement, you agree to reimburse the Commitment Parties, the Consenting Lenders and their respective affiliates from time to time on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including but not limited to out-of-pocket expenses of the Commitment Parties’ and the Consenting Lenders’ due diligence investigation, travel expenses, but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as counsel to the Commitment Parties and the Consenting Lenders and, if necessary, of a single local counsel to the Commitment Parties and the Consenting Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction) incurred in connection with the Transactions, the Incremental Term Facility and the preparation of the Incremental Term Facility Documentation.  Upon Borrower’s request, the Commitment Parties and the Consenting Lenders will present the documentation and invoice(s) supporting the costs, expenses and charges in the foregoing sentence.

This Commitment Letter and the commitments hereunder are intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto (and Indemnified Persons to the extent expressly set forth herein) and do not and are not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto (and Indemnified Persons to the extent expressly set forth herein).  Each Commitment Party reserves the right to employ the services of its respective affiliates or branches (other than a Disqualified Lender) in providing services contemplated hereby and to allocate, in whole or in part, to their affiliates or branches certain fees payable to such Commitment Party in such manner as such Commitment Party and its respective affiliates or branches may agree in their sole discretion and, to the extent so employed, such affiliates and branches shall be entitled to the benefits and protections afforded to, and subject to the provisions governing the conduct of, such Commitment Party hereunder.  This Commitment Letter may not be amended or any provision hereof waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Commitment Parties, the Consenting Lenders (to the extent that the Proposed Amendments are affected) and you.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY PARTY RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE ARRANGER FEE LETTER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

This Commitment Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that (a) the interpretation of the definition of Business Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (and whether or not a Business Material Adverse Effect has occurred), (b) the determination of the accuracy of any Specified Purchase Agreement Representations and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof you (or your affiliate) have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate your (or its) obligations under the Purchase Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition and (c) the determination of whether the Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in each case shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Commitment Letter, the Transactions

Each of the parties hereto waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceedings brought in any such court, and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Any Lead Arranger or Bookrunner may, with your approval, place customary advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of customary information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, in each case, after the Incremental Effective Date, in the form of “tombstone” or otherwise describing the name of the Borrower and the amount, type and Incremental Effective Date of the Transactions, all at the expense of such Lead Arranger or Bookrunner.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that (i) this Commitment Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, including an agreement of each party to negotiate in good faith the Incremental Term Facility Documentation and documentation related to the Proposed Amendments in a manner consistent with this Commitment Letter, it being acknowledged and agreed that the commitments and agreements provided hereunder are subject only to conditions precedent as expressly provided herein, and (ii) the Arranger Fee Letter is a legally valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter set forth therein.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”) and the requirements of 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), the Lead Arrangers subject to the Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation are required to (i) obtain, verify and record information that identifies you, which information includes your name and address and other information that will allow the Lead Arrangers, as applicable, to identify you in accordance with the Act and (ii) obtain a certification regarding beneficial ownership from you under the Incremental Term Facility in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

The indemnification, reimbursement, jurisdiction, governing law, venue, waiver of jury trial, and confidentiality provisions contained herein and in the Arranger Fee Letter and the provisions of Section 8 of this Commitment Letter shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the Incremental Term Facility Documentation shall be executed and delivered and notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Commitment Letter or each Incremental Lender’s commitments hereunder; provided that your obligations under this Commitment Letter (and other than your obligations with respect to the confidentiality of the Arranger Fee Letter and the contents thereof) shall automatically terminate and be superseded, in each case to the extent covered thereby, by the provisions of the Incremental Term Facility Documentation upon the initial funding thereunder, and you shall automatically be released from all liability in connection therewith at such time.  You may terminate this Commitment Letter and/or the Incremental Lenders’ commitments with respect to all or a portion of any of the Incremental Term Facility hereunder (on a pro rata basis with respect to the commitments of the applicable Incremental Lenders hereunder) at any time subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence.  In addition, in the event that a lesser amount of indebtedness is required to fund the Transactions for any reason, you may reduce the Incremental Lenders’ commitments with respect to the Incremental Term Facility (on a pro rata basis amongst the Incremental Lenders) in a manner consistent with the allocation of purchase price reduction described under paragraph 2 of Exhibit C.

Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Commitment Letter.

ANNEX 1 TO EXHIBIT C

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

[____][__], 20[__]

This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is being delivered pursuant to Section [__] of that certain Amendment No. [●] (the “Amendment”).

I, [●], solely in my capacity as a [●] of the Borrower, do hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that, as of the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions on the Amendment No. [●] Effective Date:

7.

the fair value of the property (for the avoidance of doubt, calculated to include goodwill and other intangibles) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

8.

the present fair salable value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on its debts as they become absolute and matured;

9.

the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts or liabilities beyond the Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature; and

10.

the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ property would constitute an unreasonably small capital.

For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of contingent liabilities at any time has been computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
