Determined as Transaction Proceeds actually received by Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and ▇▇ ▇▇ Coinvestment, L.P. as a multiple of their total cash investment in the Company, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, management or similar fees paid to affiliates of Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and ▇▇ ▇▇ Coinvestment, L.P.

In the event that the amount of Transaction Proceeds used to satisfy the multiple of money condition set forth in this Exhibit A includes any securities, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay the Transaction Bonus in a combination of cash and such securities. In such event and for purposes of determining the amount of securities to be paid out in respect of the Transaction Bonus, such securities will be deemed to have the value given to them for purposes of the Change of Control that resulted in the Transaction Bonus becoming payable (as determined by the Board in good faith) and the amount of securities to be received in respect of the Transaction Bonus will not exceed the portion of the Transaction Bonus equal to a fraction, the numerator of which equals the dollar value of all securities included in the Transaction Proceeds, and the denominator of which equals the dollar value of the total Transaction Proceeds upon which the amount of the Transaction Bonus was determined.

In the event of a Change of Control that (i) does not result in a Transaction Bonus becoming payable under this Agreement above the <[__] level (whether at the closing of such Change of Control or following such closing), and (ii) either (A) any portion of the Transaction Proceeds includes securities of the surviving entity of the Change of Control, or (B) the Company is the surviving corporation of such Change of Control and either Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. or ▇▇ ▇▇ Coinvestment, L.P. retains an equity ownership interest in the Company following such Change of Control, then this Agreement shall remain in effect following that Change of Control such that the Employee will be eligible to earn a Transaction Bonus on the terms set forth in this Agreement (but calculated and paid net of the dollar value of the Transaction Bonus paid to such Employee in respect of that Change of Control at the <[__] level) based upon the Transaction Proceeds actually received by Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and ▇▇ ▇▇ Coinvestment, L.P. in a subsequent Change of Control involving the surviving entity of such Change of Control (in the case where clause (ii)(A) above is applicable) or in a subsequent Change of Control involving the Company (in the case where clause (ii)(B) above is applicable). In the event of a Change of Control in which clauses (i) and (ii)(A) above are applicable, the surviving entity of such Change of Control shall expressly assume the obligations in respect of the Transaction Bonus applicable to such surviving entity as described in this Agreement.
