Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (i) Ares and its respective Affiliates shall not be deemed to be Affiliates of the Company and (ii) any investment manager or advisor of Ares and any funds, investment vehicles or accounts managed or advised by such investment manager or advisor or its Affiliates, shall be deemed to be Affiliates of Ares.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this definition, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur if, in the case of clause (ii) above, the Permitted Holders have, at such time, the right or the ability by voting power, contract or otherwise to elect or designate for election at least a majority of the Board.

ARTICLE V

INFORMATION

SECTION 5.01 Books and Records; Access. The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, keep proper books, records and accounts, in which full and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets and business of the Company and each of its subsidiaries in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For so long as the Sponsor has at least one of its respective Sponsor Designees serving as a member of the Board, the Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, permit the Sponsor and the Sponsor Designee’s respective designated representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company, to inspect, review and/or make copies and extracts from the books and records of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs, finances and condition of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries with the officers of the Company or any the Company’s subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor shall lose the right to Company information granted under this Section 5.01 if the Sponsor owns less than own percent (1%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock. Subject to Section 5.02, the Sponsor (and any party receiving information from the Sponsor) who shall receive information shall maintain the confidentiality of such information. Taking into account the “common interest” and joint defense doctrine as may be applicable that would permit the sharing of potentially privileged information without a resulting waiver, the Company shall not be required under this Section 5.01 to disclose any privileged information where such disclosure would result in a waiver of the applicable privilege so long as the Company has used its best efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to the Sponsor without the loss of any such privilege and has notified the Sponsor that such information has not been provided.

8

SECTION 5.02 Sharing of Information. Individuals associated with the Sponsor may from time to time serve on the Board or be observers to the Board or the equivalent governing body of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company, on its behalf and on behalf of its subsidiaries, recognizes that such individuals: (i) will from time to time receive non-public information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries; and (ii) may (subject to the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with Section 5.01) share such information with other individuals associated with the Sponsor. Such sharing will be for the dual purpose of facilitating support to such individuals in their capacity as directors (or members of the governing body of any subsidiary) and enabling the Sponsor, as an equityholder, to better evaluate the Company’s performance and prospects. The Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, irrevocably consents to such sharing.

SECTION 5.03 Certain Reports. So long as a Sponsor Designee is then serving as a director, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Sponsor at its request: (i) to the extent otherwise prepared by the Company, operating and capital expenditure budgets and periodic information packages relating to the operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries; and (ii) such other reports and information as may be reasonably requested by the Sponsor. Notwithstanding the previous sentence but taking into account both the common interest and joint defense doctrine that permits the sharing of privileged information without waiver, the Company shall not be required to disclose any privileged information of the Company where such disclosure would result in a waiver of the applicable privilege so long as the Company has used its best efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which it may provide such information to the Sponsor without the loss of any such privilege and has notified the Sponsor that such information has not been provided.

ARTICLE VI

In any such judicial proceeding, the parties agree that in addition to any method for the service of process permitted or required by such courts, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, service of process may be made by delivery provided pursuant to the directions in Section 6.01.

SECTION 6.06 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage (for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms on a timely basis or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court identified in Section 6.05 above without the need to post bond, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
