12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION. This Agreement, those documents
expressly referred to herein and the other documents of even date herewith (a)
contain the complete and entire understanding and agreement of GTCR and the
Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) supersede all prior
and contemporaneous understandings, conditions and agreements, oral or written,
express or implied, respecting the engagement of GTCR in connection with the
subject matter hereof (including the Prior Agreement); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
nothing herein shall limit or otherwise affect any of the Company's obligations
under the Prior Agreement to the extent arising prior to the date hereof
(including, without limitation, the obligation to pay GTCR for all unpaid fees
which have accrued prior to the date hereof and all costs and expenses incurred
by or on behalf of GTCR in rendering services under the Prior Agreement to the
extent not reimbursed by the Company prior to the date hereof). The provisions
of this Agreement may be amended, modified and/or waived only with the prior
written consent of the Company and GTCR.
13. WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver by either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that provision or any other provision
hereof.
14. ASSIGNMENT. Neither GTCR nor the Company may assign its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of the
other, except that GTCR may assign its rights and obligations to an affiliate of

hereunder shall inure to the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
17. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, without giving
effect to any choice of law 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.

18. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION
WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN
EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON, AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL
LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR
DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO
ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN
THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT
OF, CONNECTED WITH, OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
