equivalent to:

in the applicable Target Company ("Phantom Equity"), or a
combination thereof

thereof). If the Total OEP Equity Investment or options to
further invest are structured in installments, then PACIFIC will
be entitled to an additional Success Fee based on the total
amount of such additional investments; provided, however, that
such additional Success Fee will be payable to PACIFIC at the
time any such additional investments are made and shall be

proportions as PACIFIC elected to receive in connection with
the initial Success Fee applicable to the Target Company. For
the avoidance of doubt, PACIFIC is not entitled to a Success
Fee if OEP makes a follow-on equity investment in such Target
Company, unless such follow-on equity investment is already
agreed upon in writing in the initial Transaction documents
relating to the Target Company transaction or unless OEP
requests PACIFIC to assist in such follow-on Transaction.

to be paid on their behalf) to PACIFIC the Applicable

property reflected in the Net Proceeds received by the OEP
Investors relating to the Realization Event.

Company where PACIFIC has a Success Fee in the form of
Phantom Equity, any sale of equity or assets, dividend,
recapitalization, change of control or other type of corporate

(A) payment of all brokerage commissions, underwriting,
legal and other fees and expenses related to such Realization
Event incurred by the OEP Investors and (B) deduction of
appropriate amounts to be provided by the OEP Investors as
required pursuant to any escrow arrangement or a reserve, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
against any liabilities associated with the equity securities or
assets sold or disposed of in such Realization Event and
retained by the OEP Investors after such Realization Event,
including, without limitation, liabilities related to any
indemnification obligations associated with the securities or
assets sold or disposed of in such Realization Event.

connection with the consummation of any applicable Target
Company transaction, OEP shall provide a description of each

efforts to secure timely payment to PACIFIC.
