The Manager will assign Gund and LoBiondo to serve as Chief Financial Officer and SVP, Corporate Controller of the Company, respectively. Subject to the prior approval of John S. Dubel, CEO and CRO (“Dubel” or “CEO and CRO”), the Manager may assign additional personnel of the Manager to act in various capacities to carry out other services required of the Manager hereunder. Compensation for such additional service will be based on a monthly fee that is mutually agreeable between Ankura and the CEO and CRO, subject to court approval. To the extent additional resources are required to carry out the Managers services, specific employees will be identified and this Management Agreement will be amended as appropriate.

(b)    Gund and LoBiondo, in their roles as Officers, shall be authorized to make decisions that are customary in their duties as CFO and SVP, Corporate Controller in such manner as they deem necessary or appropriate in their sole discretion consistent with the business judgment rule, subject only to appropriate governance by the Board in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and applicable law.

(c)    In undertaking to provide the services set forth herein, the Manager does not guarantee or otherwise provide any assurances that it will succeed in restoring the Company’s operational and financial health and stability, and the Company’s obligation to provide the compensation specified under Section 4 hereof shall not be conditioned upon any particular results being obtained by the Manager.

(d)    In view of the Company’s precarious present circumstances, the Company acknowledges that Gund and LoBiondo may be required to make decisions with respect to extraordinary measures quickly and that the depth of their analysis of the information on which their decisions will be based may be limited in some respects due to the availability of information, time constraints and other factors. Moreover, Gund and LoBiondo shall be entitled, in performing their duties hereunder on behalf of the Manager, to rely on information disclosed or supplied to them without verification or warranty of accuracy or validity.

1

(e)    Gund will report to the CEO and CRO and LoBiondo will report to Gund. Gund and LoBiondo will endeavor to keep the CEO and CRO fully apprised of their findings, plans and activities.

This rate has been agreed to by the Company and the Manager, based upon the level of effort anticipated. There is no requirement for a minimum number of hours per month.
