Dear Sirs:

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between me and B/E Aerospace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), dated July 29, 2013 (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.  In consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, I and the Company agree to modify the Agreement in the manner set forth below.

I hereby agree, effective as of the date hereof, to waive my rights to any Gross-Up Payment relating to the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code pursuant to Section 5(h) of the Agreement and to the application of Section 409A of the Code pursuant to Section 14 of the Agreement.  This waiver is voluntary. In addition, I and the Company hereby agree that, in the event that I become subject to Excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Company will reduce the applicable payments (but not below zero) to the greatest amount which may be paid without me becoming subject to the Excise Tax, but only to the extent that the reduced amount would provide me with a greater after-tax benefit than an unreduced payment that would be subject to the Excise Tax.

Except as specified above, this letter does not affect any other terms of the Agreement, which remains in full force and effect.

	 	Very truly yours,

Such Investor acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Common Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

(f)            Independent Investment Decision.  Such Investor has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and such Investor confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Investor's business and/or legal counsel in making such decision.

(h)            No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents, if any, of such Investor, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, that do not otherwise affect the ability of such Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(i)            Restricted Securities.  The Investors understand that the Common Shares are characterized as "restricted securities" under the U.S.  securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

(j)            No Certificates.  It is understood that no certificates evidencing the Common Shares shall be issued, and ownership of the Common Shares will be reflected on the Company's stock register in un-certificated form.

 

(k)            No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice.  Such Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Common Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.  Such Investor has consulted its own legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Common Shares.

 

(l)            Investment Company.

In connection with any transfer of the Common Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, or to an affiliate of an Investor, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Common Shares under the Securities Act.

 

(b)            No certificates will be issued to evidencing the Common Shares.  The Common Shares will be reflected in the Company's stock register in un-certificated form, and the stock register will be notated with the following legend with respect to the Common Shares, until such time as the legend is not required under Section 4.1(c):

 

The shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act.  The shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Corporation.

 

(c)            The Company has not registered with the SEC as an investment company pursuant to the 1940 Act in reliance on the exemption contained in Section 3(c)(1) thereunder.  As a result, investing in the Company's Common Shares will be subject to the following additional restrictions until the Company elects to be regulated as a business development company:  (i) the Company intends to limit the ownership of its common stock to no more than 100 beneficial owners who meet the other conditions described in Section 3(c)(1) of the 1940 Act, (ii) any transfer that would result in the Company's common stock (including the Common Shares offered hereby) being held by more than 100 beneficial owners will be void and any intended recipient of shares in violation of such provisions will acquire no rights in such shares and will not be treated as stockholder for any purpose, (iii) during the time that the Company is relying on Section 3(c)(1) exemption under the 1940 Act, each Investor will be prohibited from acquiring in excess of 9.9% of the Company's outstanding voting securities, and (iv) the Company will not sell, and is not soliciting any offers to buy, Common Shares  from any person or entity that is a benefit plan investor within the meaning of applicable Department of Labor regulations, whether or not subject to regulation under the ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code provided, however, that investments by individual retirement account or other similar arrangements are permitted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall retain the authority to waive any such restriction, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, that any such waiver will not result in the loss of the exemption contained in Section 3(c)(1) of the 1940 Act or otherwise violate applicable law.

 

11

3.2            Form 10 Registration Statement; BDC Election.  As soon as practicable the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Form 10 Registration to register its shares of common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.  Concurrently with the filing of the Form 10 Registration Statement with SEC, the Company shall also file its election to be regulated as a business development company on Form N-54A with the SEC.  The Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within ten business days (except to the extent that the Company reasonably requires additional time to respond to comments), to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Form 10 Registration Statement or any amendment thereto.

 

3.3            Indemnification of Investors.

(a)            The Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an "Investor Party", collectively, the "Investor Parties") harmless from any and all means any loss, liability, obligation, claim, contingency, damage, cost or expense, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of investigation related thereto ("Losses") that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement.  In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.  It shall be understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding (including separate proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Investor Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority of the Investor Parties.

 

(b)            The Adviser will indemnify and hold the Investor Parties harmless from any and all Losses that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Adviser in this Agreement.  In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Adviser will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.  It shall be understood, however, that the Adviser shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding (including separate proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Investor Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority of the Investor Parties.

 

12

(c)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement in violation of the 1940 Act or the Advisers Act.

 

3.4            Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the net proceeds of this Offering to make investments in portfolio companies and to pay management and incentive fees to the Adviser as the Company's investment adviser for investment advisory services, administrative expenses incurred on behalf of the Company by the Company's investment adviser, marketing and investor relations expenses and other operating expenses of the Company.  Pending such uses, the Company shall invest the net proceeds primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality investments that mature in one year or less from the date of investment.  The Company will not use the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of the Company's business and consistent with prior practices), or to redeem any common stock.

 

3.5            Corporate Governance.  In addition to complying with its reporting and other obligations under the Federal securities laws, the Company shall, prior to the final Closing of the Offering:  (i) cause a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors to not be "interested persons" of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, (ii) cause the audit and valuation committees of the Board of Directors to be established and the members thereof elected, (iii) cause any other requirement necessary to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act to be satisfied including, without limitation, obtaining an appropriate fidelity bond and adopting a code of ethics, and (iv) cause the adoption of policies and procedures as required by the 1940 Act including, without limitation, the valuation policies and procedures under Rule 38a-1.

 

3.6            D&O Insurance; Indemnity Agreements.  The Company, within 90 days of the initial Closing of the Offering: (i) shall obtain directors and officers insurance coverage for its directors and officers in coverage and amounts determined reasonably sufficient by the Company's Board of Directors, consistent with other similarly situated companies in the same industry, and (ii) shall have executed and delivered an indemnity agreement with each director of the Company.
