regarding professional compensation and reimbursement of expenses.

of the Engagement Agreement, as modified pursuant to this Order.
8. The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification, contribution, or
reimbursement pursuant to the Engagement Agreement for services other than the services
provided under the Engagement Agreement, unless such services and the indemnification,
contribution or reimbursement therefor are approved by the Court.
9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Engagement Agreement, the
Debtors shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties, or provide contribution or
reimbursement to the Indemnified Parties, for any claim or expense that is either: (i) judicially
determined (the determination having become final) to have arisen from the Indemnified Parties’
bad faith, self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty (if any), gross negligence, willful misconduct or
fraud; (ii) for a contractual dispute in which the Debtors allege the breach of the Indemnified
Parties’ contractual obligations if the Court determines that indemnification, contribution or
reimbursement would not be permissible pursuant to In re United Artists Theatre Co., 315 F.3d
217 (3d Cir. 2003); or (iii) settled prior to a judicial determination under (i) or (ii), but

to the payment of any amounts by the Debtors on account of the Debtors’ indemnification,
contribution and/or reimbursement obligations under the Engagement Agreement (as modified
by this Order), including the advancement of defense costs, the Indemnified Parties must file an
application therefore in this Court, and the Debtors may not pay any such amounts to the
Indemnified Parties before the entry of an order by this Court approving the payment requested
therein. This paragraph is intended only to specify the period of time under which the Court
shall have jurisdiction over any request for fees and expenses by the Indemnified Parties for
indemnification, contribution or reimbursement, and not a provision limiting the duration of the

reimbursement.
