Whereas, Section 8 of the Agreement provides that the Agreement may be amended by a writing executed by the Company and the Manager; and

1. Amendment of the Agreement. Section 2(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
During the Term, as compensation for the services provided by the Manager and the Manager Designees under this Agreement, the Company will pay to the Manager (or its Manager Designee(s)) in cash an aggregate annual retainer fee (the “Monitoring Fee”) as follows: (i) six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) for the period ending on date that is the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “Initial Period”); and (ii) one million dollars ($1,000,000) per annum for each year thereafter so long as TPG has the right to nominate four (4) directors to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement; provided, that the Monitoring Fee shall be reduced to (a) seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) (or four hundred fifty thousand dollars ($450,000) during the Initial Period) from and after the date on which the number of directors which TPG has the right to nominate to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is reduced to three (3), (b) five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) (or three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) during the Initial Period) from and after the date on which the number of directors which TPG has the right to nominate to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is reduced to two (2), (c) two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (or one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) during the Initial Period) from and after the date on which the number of directors which TPG has the right to nominate to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is reduced to one (1), and (e) zero dollars ($0) from and after the date on which the number of directors which TPG has the right to
nominate to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement has been reduced to zero (0). The Monitoring Fee will be paid in four (4) equal quarterly payments in advance, on the date during such quarter on which the Corporation is to pay its quarterly Common Stock dividend, and if no such dividend is paid during such period, the last day of such quarter (or if any such date is not a day where banks in New York, New York are able to be open for business, on the next day where such banks are able to be open for business). The Monitoring Fee payable to the Manager (or its Manager Designee(s)), shall be made in lieu of any director fees payable to the designated nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Amendment or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
