10.Redemption Rights on Termination of Employment.

(a)Company Option to Redeem Purchased Units on Termination of Employment.  If the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, then the Company may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the unvested Purchased Units held by the Buyer at the time of termination of the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) established as follows:

(ii)if the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries terminates because of permanent disability or death, then the Redemption Price of the unvested Purchased Units shall equal the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Units redeemed by the Company.

(b)Exercise of Redemption Option and Payment of Redemption Price.  If the Company elects to exercise its option to redeem the Purchased Units, it must give notice of such exercise to the Buyer within one hundred eighty (180) days after termination of the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries and close such purchase within forty-five (45) days after such termination.  In the event of such timely exercise, the Company shall pay the Buyer the Redemption Price in a lump sum at the closing of such redemption.

(c)Release of the Purchased Units from the Company’s Redemption Option.  If the Company declines or fails to exercise its option to redeem any Purchased Units within the 180-day period (subject to any tolling of such period as set forth in this Section 10) after the termination of the Buyer’s employment with the Company, then any unvested Purchased Units shall be deemed to be fully vested and all the Purchased Units shall no longer be subject to the redemption right of the Company set forth in this Section 10.

(d)Restrictions on Redemption.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all redemptions of the Purchased Units by the Company pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in applicable Delaware limited liability 

 

-3-

 

company laws or such other governing law, applicable securities laws, and in the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ debt and equity financing agreements.  If any such restrictions prohibit (i) the repurchase of Purchased Units hereunder that the Company is otherwise entitled to make or (ii) dividends or other transfers of funds from one or more Subsidiaries of the Company directly or indirectly to the Company to enable such redemptions, then the Company may make such redemptions as soon as it is permitted to make redemptions or receive funds from its Subsidiaries under such restrictions and all time periods set forth in this Section 10 shall be tolled accordingly.

Buyer acknowledges that the Purchased Units must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered and/or qualified under the Act or an exemption from such registration and/or qualification is available.

Nothing in this Agreement or any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder shall be deemed to create or confer on the Buyer any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate the employment of the Buyer at any time.

(b)Restrictions.  The Board of Managers of the Company (the “Board”) shall have the right to impose restrictions on any Purchased Units as it deems necessary or advisable under applicable federal securities laws, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or market upon which the Purchased Units are then listed or traded, and/or any “blue sky” or state securities laws applicable to such Purchased Units.

(c)Board Decisions Final.

Otherwise, the parties hereto agree to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

(k)WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE.

10.Redemption Rights on Termination of Employment. 

(a)Company Option to Redeem Purchased Units on Termination of Employment.  If the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, then the Company may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the unvested Purchased Units held by the Buyer at the time of termination of the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) established as follows:

(i)if the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason (other than permanent disability or death), then the Redemption Price (on a per Unit basis) of the unvested Purchased Units shall be the Per Unit Purchase Price; and

(ii)if the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries terminates because of permanent disability or death, then the Redemption Price of the unvested Purchased Units shall equal the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Units redeemed by the Company.

(b)Exercise of Redemption Option and Payment of Redemption Price.  If the Company elects to exercise its option to redeem the Purchased Units, it must give notice of such exercise to the Buyer within one hundred eighty (180) days after termination of the Buyer’s employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries and close such purchase within forty-five (45) days after such termination.  In the event of such timely exercise, the Company shall pay the Buyer the Redemption Price in a lump sum at the closing of such redemption.  Alternatively, in the Company’s discretion, the Company may instead pay one-quarter (1/4) of the Redemption Price on the date of the closing of such redemption, and the obligation of the Company to pay the balance of the Redemption Price shall be evidenced by a promissory note requiring equal installments of principal on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of such closing, together with interest, compounding annually, at the short-term applicable federal rate prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service as of the date of such closing.  The Company may prepay the principal of, and interest on, any such note without penalty or premium.

(c)Release of the Purchased Units from the Company’s Redemption Option.  If the Company declines or fails to exercise its option to redeem any Purchased Units within the 

3

 

one hundred eighty (180)-day period (subject to any tolling of such period as set forth in this Section 10) after the termination of the Buyer’s employment with the Company, then any unvested Purchased Units shall be deemed to be fully vested and all the Purchased Units shall no longer be subject to the redemption right of the Company set forth in this Section 10. 

(d)Restrictions on Redemption.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all redemptions of the Purchased Units by the Company pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in applicable Delaware limited liability company laws or such other governing law, applicable securities laws, and in the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ debt and equity financing agreements.  If any such restrictions prohibit (i) the repurchase of Purchased Units hereunder that the Company is otherwise entitled to make or (ii) dividends or other transfers of funds from one or more Subsidiaries of the Company directly or indirectly to the Company to enable such redemptions, then the Company may make such redemptions as soon as it is permitted to make redemptions or receive funds from its Subsidiaries under such restrictions and all time periods set forth in this Section 10 shall be tolled accordingly.

11.Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company represents warrants and agrees as follows:

(b)The Company has the legal right and power and all authority necessary to accept and execute this Agreement, to issue and deliver the Purchased Units, and to perform fully its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement has been duly authorized and, upon proper acceptance and execution by the Company, will constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity regarding the availability of remedies.

(c)The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) any contracts or agreements to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound, (ii) the LLC Agreement, (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, or (iv) any judgment, order, injunction, decree or ruling of any court or arbitration tribunal or governmental authority to which the Company is subject.

12.Representations and Warranties of the Buyer.  The Buyer hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(b)Buyer understands that the Purchased Units have not been registered under the Act or any state securities laws and that the Purchased Units are “restricted securities” under applicable securities laws and that under such laws and applicable regulations, the Purchased Units may be resold without registration or qualification under the Act only in certain limited circumstances.  Buyer acknowledges that the Purchased Units must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered and/or qualified under the Act or an exemption from such registration and/or qualification is available.

(c)Buyer is acquiring the Purchased Units for investment for Buyer’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and Buyer has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

(f)The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) any contracts or agreements to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound, (ii) the Company’s LLC Agreement, (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, or (iv) any judgment, order, injunction, decree or ruling of any court or arbitration tribunal or governmental authority to which Buyer is subject.

(g)As a condition to Buyer purchasing the Purchased Units, Buyer shall execute (i) a joinder agreement to the LLC Agreement, if not already a party to the LLC Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A; and (ii) such other documents or instruments as may be required by the Board, in its sole discretion.

5

 

withholding requirements.  The Buyer shall also make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy any withholding requirements that may arise in connection with the issuing or vesting of Incentive Units.  In the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries do not make such withholdings, the Buyer shall indemnify the Company and its Subsidiaries for any amounts paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of the Buyer with respect to any such taxes, together with any interest, penalties and related expenses thereto.

THE BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE BUYER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO TIMELY FILE THE CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION, EVEN IF THE BUYER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THE FILING ON THE BUYER’S BEHALF.

(c)No Warranty of Tax Results.  The Buyer hereby acknowledges that the federal and state income and other tax consequences to the Buyer resulting from the issuance, holding, vesting, forfeiture, sale or redemption of Purchased Units hereunder may depend on the Buyer’s particular situation and other facts and circumstances, and neither the Company, nor its managers, agents, owners or any other person will be responsible or liable for the federal or state income or other tax consequences to the Buyer occurring by reason of any of such events.  The Company does not represent, warrant, guaranty, affirm or advise the Buyer that the Buyer will achieve any particular federal or state income or other tax consequences or objectives with respect to the Purchased Units, and the Buyer agrees to rely solely upon the Buyer’s own advisers with respect to all such tax consequences of the Purchased Units hereunder.

16.Miscellaneous.

(a)No Rights to Continued Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement or any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder shall be deemed to create or confer on the Buyer any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate the employment of the Buyer at any time.

(b)Restrictions.  The Board of Managers of the Company (the “Board”) shall have the right to impose restrictions on any Purchased Units as it deems necessary or advisable under applicable federal securities laws, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or market upon which the Purchased Units are then listed or traded, and/or any “blue sky” or state securities laws applicable to such Purchased Units.

(c)Board Decisions Final.  Any dispute or disagreement arising under, or in connection with, the interpretation or construction of the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the Board in good faith, and any such determination and any other determination by the Board under this Agreement shall be final and binding on all persons affected thereby.

(f)Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(g)Amendments or Modifications.  No supplement, modification, waiver, or termination of this Agreement or any provisions hereof shall be binding unless executed in writing by all parties hereto.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

(h)Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(i)Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to the provisions concerning the conflict of laws which would otherwise result in the application of the substantive law of any other jurisdiction.

(j)Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place, or circumstance, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provision as applied to other persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.  Otherwise, the parties hereto agree to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

(k)WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE.  EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS 

7

 

WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF.  THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(1)Attorneys’ Fees.
