Management Members' Representations, Warranties and Agreements

     (a) Units Unregistered. Each Management Member acknowledges and represents
that such Management Member has been advised by the Company that:

          (A) the offer and sale of the Units have not been registered under the
     1933 Act;

          (B) the Units must be held and the Management Member must continue to
     bear the economic risk of the investment in the Units unless the offer and
     sale of such Units are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and all
     applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is
     available and the Units may never be so registered;

          (C) there is no established market for the Units and it is not
     anticipated that there will be any public market for the Units in the
     foreseeable future;

          (D) a restrictive legend in the form set forth below shall be placed
     on the certificates representing the Units:

               "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY
          ISSUED ON ______________, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
          SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
          TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
          UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE
          SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
          TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE LIMITED LIABILITY
          COMPANY AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 17, 2004 AMONG NALCO LLC AND
          CERTAIN OF ITS MEMBERS, THE MANAGEMENT MEMBERS AGREEMENTS, DATED AS OF
          JUNE 11, 2004 AMONG NALCO LLC AND CERTAIN MANAGEMENT MEMBERS NAMED
          THEREIN, THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT AMONG NALCO LLC AND CERTAIN
          OF ITS MEMBERS AND, AMONG OTHER THINGS, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD
          EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. COPIES OF SUCH
          LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT, SUCH MANAGEMENT MEMBERS
          AGREEMENTS AND SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE WITH THE
          SECRETARY OF THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND ARE AVAILABLE WITHOUT
          CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE,
          BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE
          APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE AFORESAID AGREEMENTS.";

          (E) a restrictive legend in the form set forth below shall be placed
     on the certificates representing the Units held by Georgia residents:

               "THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED OR SOLD IN RELIANCE ON
          PARAGRAPH 13 OF CODE SECTION 10-5-9 OF THE "GEORGIA SECURITIES ACT OF
          1973," AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN A TRANSACTION
          WHICH IS EXEMPT UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
          REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT."; and

          (F) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company
     indicating that the Units are subject to restrictions on transfer and, if
     the Company should at some time in the future engage the services of a
     securities transfer agent, appropriate stop-transfer instructions may be
     issued to such transfer agent with respect to the Units.

     (b) Additional Investment Representations. Each Management Member
represents and warrants that:

          (A) the Management Member's financial situation is such that such
     Management Member can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Units
     for an indefinite period of time, has adequate means for providing for the
     Management Member's current needs and personal contingencies, and can
     afford to suffer a complete loss of the Management Member's investment in
     the Units;

          (B) the Management Member's knowledge and experience in financial and
     business matters are such that the Management Member is capable of
     evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Units;

          (C) the Management Member understands that the Units are a speculative
     investment which involves a high degree of risk of loss of Management
     Member's investment therein, there are substantial restrictions on the
     transferability of the Units and, on the date on which such Management
     Member acquires such Units and for an indefinite period following such
     date, there will be no public market for the Units and, accordingly, it may
     not be possible for the Management Member to liquidate the Management
     Member's investment including in case of emergency, if at all;

          (D) the terms of this Agreement provide that if the Management Member
     ceases to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates, the Company
     and its Affiliates have the right to repurchase the Units at a price which
     may be less than the Fair Market Value thereof;

          (E) the Management Member understands and has taken cognizance of all
     the risk factors related to the purchase of the Units and, other than as
     set forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties have been
     made to the Management Member or Management Member's representatives
     concerning the Units, the Company, the Subsidiaries or their respective
     prospects or other matters;

          (F) the Management Member has been given the opportunity to examine
     all documents and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the
     Company and its representatives concerning the Company and its
     subsidiaries, the acquisition of Nalco Company and certain Subsidiaries of
     Nalco International S.A.S. by subsidiaries of the Company, the LLC
     Agreement, the Company's organizational documents and the terms and
     conditions of the purchase of the Units and to obtain any additional
     information which the Management Member deems necessary; and

          (G) all information which the Management Member has provided to the
     Company and the Company's representatives concerning the Management Member
     and the Management Member's financial position is complete and correct as
     of the date of this Agreement.

     Section 1.04. Contingent Bonus. The Company shall cause one of its
Subsidiaries to pay a bonus to Management Members in the circumstances set forth
in Exhibit A.

Transfers; Acceleration

     (c) Transfer. (i) Until the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, except as
required by law, no Management Member may directly or indirectly, sell, contract
to sell, give, assign, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest
in, offer, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or
contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any economic, voting or other rights in or to
(collectively, "Transfer") any Units except pursuant to (i) Article XI of the
LLC Agreement, (ii) Sections 2.02 or 2.04 hereof or (iii) a Transfer to a
Manager Permitted Transferee (each a "Permitted Transfer").

          (A) Following a Qualified IPO and the expiration of any underwriter or
     Company "lock-up" period (as provided for in Section 4(a) of the
     Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise) applicable to such Qualified
     IPO, each Management Member may only Transfer its Units pursuant to (i) a
     Permitted Transfer, (ii) a Transfer pursuant to Section 2.03, (iii) a
     Transfer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or (iv) a
     Transfer conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144
     promulgated under the 1933 Act; provided, that no Management Member shall
     make a Transfer pursuant to this clause (iv) without the Company's prior,
     written approval.

          (B) No Transfer by any Management Member may be made pursuant to this
     Article II unless (i) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by
     the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement (other
     than if the Transfer is conducted in accordance with the Registration
     Rights Agreement or the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933
     Act), (ii) the Transfer complies in all respects with the applicable
     provisions of this Agreement, (iii) the Transfer complies in all respects
     with applicable federal and state securities laws, including the 1933 Act
     and (iv) the Transfer is made in compliance with all applicable Company
     policies and restrictions (including any trading "window periods" or other
     policies regulating insider trading); provided, that the conditions to
     Transfer described in clause (i) above shall not apply to a Transfer
     pursuant Article XI of the LLC Agreement or Sections 2.02, 2.03 or 2.04
     hereof.

     (d) No Transfer by any Management Member may be made pursuant to this
Article II (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
1933 Act) unless and until such Management Member has first delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to
the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the 1933 Act and
applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such Transfer.

     (d) Call Option. (a) If a Management Member's Services to the Company or
any Subsidiary terminate for any of the reasons set forth in clauses (i), (ii)
or (iii) below (each such event a "Termination Event"), the Company shall have
the right but not the obligation to purchase, from time to time after such
termination of Services, any Units held by such Management Member for a period
of 60 days (subject to extension as provided below) immediately following the
later of (A) the date of the Termination Event and (B) the date that is six (6)
months and one day after the date on which such Management Member acquired such
Unit (the later of (A) and (B), the "First Purchase Date"), and such Management
Member shall be required to sell to the Company, any or all of such Units then
held by such Management Member, at a price per Unit equal to the applicable
purchase price determined pursuant to Section 2.02(c):

          (1) if such Management Member's Service with the Company and its
     Subsidiaries is terminated due to the Disability or death of the Management
     Member;

          (2) if such Management Member's Service with the Company and its
     Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company and its Subsidiaries without
     Cause or by the Management Member for any reason;

          (3) if such Management Member's Service with the Company and its
     Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for
     Cause.

     (b) If on the 61st day following the date of the Termination Event, the
Company has not purchased all of a terminated Management Member's Units, and the
Company has not opted to extend its 60 day election period pursuant to Section
2.02(d), the Company shall on or before the 61st day provide written notice to
the Investor Groups of (i) its decision not to purchase some or all of such
Units and (ii) the number of such Management Member's Eligible Units (defined
below) which the Company did not purchase, and the Investor Groups shall have
the right to purchase and such Management Member shall be required to sell to
the Investor Group(s), any or all of the Units (the "Eligible Units") then held
by such Management Member at a price per Unit equal to the applicable purchase
price determined pursuant to Section 2.02(c). The Investor Groups' rights to
purchase such Eligible Units and each Management Member's corresponding
obligation to sell such Eligible Units shall terminate on the 120th day
following the date of the Termination Event. Upon receipt of the written notice
described above, each Investor Group desiring to purchase Units shall within 45
days of receipt of the Company's notice provide written notice to the Company,
specifying that such Investor Group is willing to purchase either (i) its pro
rata share of the Eligible Units (based upon the number of Units held by such
Investor Group relative to the total number of Units held by all of the Investor
Groups), (ii) a number of Eligible Units less than such Investor Group's pro
rata share, or (iii) any and all Units available to be purchased; provided, that
the Investor Groups shall, as much as reasonably practicable, consult with each
other and coordinate the exercise of rights such that all Eligible Units are
elected to be purchased. Upon receipt of the Investor Groups' respective
notices, the Company will notify the Management Member of the Investor Group(s)'
elections and the Management Member will be obligated to sell (x) to the
Investor Groups making elections described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
preceding sentence, the number of Eligible Units elected to be purchased by such
Investor Groups and (y) all remaining Eligible Units, if any, to the Investor

Groups making the election described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence
to such Investor Group(s) on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Units
held by such Investor Group relative to the total number of Units held by all of
the Investor Groups making such election), but in no event more that any such
Investor Groups elected to purchase.

     (c) In the event of a purchase by the Company pursuant to Section 2.02(a)
and/or the Investor Group(s) pursuant to Section 2.02(b) (each a "Units Buyer"),
the purchase price shall be:

          (i) in the case of a Termination Event specified in Section 2.02(a)(i)
     or 2.02(a)(ii) a price per Unit equal to the most recently determined Fair
     Market Value, and

          (ii) in the case of a Termination Event specified in Section
     2.02(a)(iii), a price per Unit equal to the lesser of (1) Fair Market Value
     and (2) Cost.

     (d) The Units Buyer may pay the purchase price for such Units (i) by
delivery of funds deposited into an account designated by the Management Member,
a bank cashier's check, a certified check or a company check of the Units Buyer
for the purchase price; (ii) if the Units Buyer is the Company and is prohibited
from paying cash by financing or liquidity constraints and is unable to pay the
purchase price as provided in clause (iii), by delaying the exercise of the
purchase right described under Section 2.02(a) until the earlier of (x) when the
financing restrictions lapse and (y) when the Company is able to pay the
purchase price as provided in clause (iii); or (iii) if the Units Buyer is the
Company and has the right to purchase such Units during the period following a
Qualified IPO (including in respect of a purchase that was delayed pursuant to
clause (ii)), by delivery of a number of shares of Issuer Common Stock
determined by dividing (A) the aggregate purchase price of the Units being sold
by such Management Member by (B) the Public Share FMV as of the close of trading
on the trading day immediately prior to the delivery thereof to the Management
Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Units
Buyer may deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to
this Agreement such amounts as necessary to comply with the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any other provision of applicable law,
with respect to the making of such payment.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, the Company
shall not be obligated to purchase any Units at any time pursuant to this
Section 2.02, regardless of whether it has delivered a notice of its election to
purchase any such Units, (i) to the extent that (A) the purchase of such Units
(together with any other purchases of Units pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03
hereof, or pursuant to similar provisions in any other agreements with other
investors of which the Company has at such time been given or has given notice)
or (B) in the event of an election to purchase such Units with shares of Issuer
Common Stock, the issuance of such shares by the IPO Entity, the purchase of
such shares by the Company or the distribution of such shares to the Management
Member would result (x) in a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation,
policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by
any governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of its or their assets (including any unavailability of a registration
statement or exemption from registration necessary to allow delivery of shares
of Issuer Common Stock to the Management Member), (y) after giving effect
thereto (including any dividends or other distributions or loans from a
Subsidiary of the Company to the Company in connection therewith), in a
Financing Default or

(z) in the Company being required to disgorge any profit to the IPO Entity
pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, (ii) if immediately prior to such
purchase of Units, issuance of Issuer Common Stock or purchase of shares of
Issuer Common Stock, as the case may be, there exists a Financing Default which
prohibits such issuance or purchase (including any dividends or other
distributions or loans from a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company in
connection therewith), or (iii) if the Company does not have funds available to
effect such purchase of Units or Issuer Common Stock. The Company shall within
30 days of learning of any such fact so notify the Management Member that it is
not obligated to purchase such Units and has deferred its right to make such
purchase until such violation, potential liability under the 1933 Act or 1934
Act, Financing Default or unavailability of funds would not result therefrom or
has ceased. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure
any such Financing Default that is curable. To the extent that, pursuant to this
Section 2.02(e), the Company is not obligated to pay for a Management Member's
Units in accordance with one of the payment methods described in the first
sentence of Section 2.02(d), the Company shall, except as otherwise permitted by
this Section 2.02(e), be required to pay for such Units pursuant to an alternate
method of payment described in the first sentence of Section 2.02(d).

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.02, any Units which the Company has elected to purchase from a Management
Member, but which in accordance with Section 2.02(e) are not purchased at the
applicable time provided in this Section 2.02, shall be purchased by the Company
on the tenth Business Day after such date or dates that it is no longer
permitted to defer purchasing such Units under Section 2.02(e), and the Company
shall give such Management Member five Business Days prior notice of any such
purchase.

     (e) Put Right. (a) Subject to the Call Right described in Section 2.02,
following a Qualified IPO and for so long as no Termination Event pursuant to
Section 2.02(a)(iii) shall have occurred with respect to a Management Member,
such Management Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell
(the "Put Right") beginning on the later of (x) the first date immediately
following the expiration of any Company or underwriter "lock-up" period
applicable to such Qualified IPO and (y) the date that is at least six (6)
months and one day after, the Sale Date ( the later of (x) and (y) shall be
referred to as the "First Put Date"), and the Company shall be required to
purchase from such Management Member, a number of such Management Member's Units
as determined by such Management Member, at a price per Unit equal to the Fair
Market Value as of the date the Management Member exercises such Put Right. For
the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Call Right described in Section 2.02, a
Management Member shall remain entitled to the Put Right following a Termination
Event pursuant to Sections 2.02(a)(i) or (ii) with respect to such Management
Member.

     (b) Each Management Member who desires to sell any of his or her Units
following the applicable First Put Date shall send written notice to the Company
of his or her intention to sell such Units pursuant to this Section 2.03.
Subject to the exercise of any Call Right pursuant to Section 2.02, the closing
of the purchase shall take place at the principal office of the Company on a
date specified by the Company no later than 30 days after the giving of such
notice.

     (c) At the closing of a purchase pursuant to a Put Right, the Company will
pay to the Management Member the purchase price for such Units (determined in
accordance with Section 2.03(a)) by delivery of a number of shares of Issuer
Common Stock determined by dividing (A) the aggregate purchase price of the
Units being sold by such Management Member

by (B) the Public Share FMV as of the close of trading on the trading day
immediately prior to the delivery thereof to the Management Member.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, the Company
shall not be obligated to purchase any Units at any time pursuant to this
Section 2.03 (i) to the extent that (A) the purchase of such Units (together
with any other purchases of Units pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, or
pursuant to similar provisions in any other agreements with other investors of
which the Company has at such time been given or has given notice) or (B) the
issuance of shares by the IPO Entity or the purchase of such shares by the
Company would result (x) in a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation,
policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by
any governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of its or their assets (including any unavailability of a registration
statement or exemption from registration necessary to allow delivery of shares
of Issuer Common Stock to the Management Member(s)), (y) after giving effect
thereto, in a Financing Default or (z) in the Company being required to disgorge
any profit to the IPO Entity pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act or (ii)
if immediately prior to such purchase of Units, issuance of Issuer Common Stock
or purchase of shares of Issuer Common Stock, as the case may be, there exists a
Financing Default which prohibits any such issuance or purchase. The Company
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such Financing Default
that is curable. To the extent that the Company is not obligated to pay for any
Units as described in the first sentence of Section 2.03(c) pursuant to the
terms of this Section 2.03(d), the Company shall promptly notify any Management
Member that has delivered a notice of exercise of a Put Right that it is not
obligated to purchase such Units and has deferred its right to make such
purchase until such violation, potential liability under the 1933 Act or 1934
Act or Financing Default would not result therefrom or has ceased.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.03, any Units which a Management Member has elected to sell to the Company,
but which in accordance with Section 2.03(d) are not purchased at the applicable
time provided in this Section 2.03, shall be purchased by the Company on the
tenth Business Day after such date or dates that it is no longer permitted to
defer purchasing such Units under Section 2.03(d), and the Company shall give
such Management Member five Business Days prior notice of any such purchase.

     (f) Tag-Along Right. (ii) If, at any time prior to a Qualified IPO, one or
more Sponsor Members propose to Transfer, in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions, a number of Units representing at least 30% of the Sponsor
Members' aggregate Initial Equity Stakes (as defined in the LLC Agreement) to
any Person (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the
LLC Agreement) of any such Sponsor Member and other than a Transfer in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement and other than to another
Sponsor Member) (a "Tag-Along Purchaser"), then, unless such transferring
Sponsor Member(s) are entitled to give and do give a Drag-Along Sale Notice (as
defined in the LLC Agreement) and no other Sponsor Member(s) has elected to
purchase its pro rata share of such Units pursuant to Section 2.04(a) of the
Sponsor Agreement, the Company shall first provide written notice to each of the
Management Members, which notice (the "Tag-Along Notice") shall state: (i) the
maximum number of Units proposed to be Transferred (the "Tag-Along Securities");
(ii) the purchase price per Unit (the "Tag-Along Price") for the Tag-Along
Securities and (iii) any other material terms and conditions of such sale,
including the proposed transfer date (which date will be within 60 business days
after the termination of the Election Period (defined below), subject to
extension for any required regulatory approvals). Each of the Management Members

that has been provided with the Tag-Along Notice (each, a "Tag-Along Manager")
shall have the right to sell to such Tag-Along Purchaser, upon the terms set
forth in the Tag-Along Notice, up to the aggregate number of Units which are
held by such Tag-Along Manager multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the aggregate number of Units proposed to be sold by the transferring Sponsor
Member as reflected in the Tag-Along Notice and the denominator of which is the
total number of Units which are held by the transferring Sponsor Member. If the
number of Units elected to be sold by the Tag-Along Managers and any other
individuals identified from time to time on Exhibit A to the LLC Agreement, the
transferring Sponsor Member and any other Sponsor Members electing to
participate in such sale is greater than the number of Tag-Along Securities
specified in the Tag-Along Notice, the number of Units being sold by each such
seller shall be reduced such that the applicable seller shall be entitled to
(and obligated to) sell only their pro rata share of Units (based on the
aggregate number of Units held by such seller to the total number of Units held
by all of such electing sellers). The transferring Sponsor Member(s), the
Sponsor Members electing to participate in such sale and the Tag-Along
Manager(s) exercising their rights pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall effect
the sale of the Tag-Along Securities, and such Tag-Along Manager(s) shall sell
the number of Tag-Along Securities required to be sold by such Tag-Along
Manager(s) pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) within 60 business days after the
expiration of the Election Period, subject to extension for any required
regulatory approvals.

          (A) The tag-along rights provided by this Section 2.04 must be
     exercised by any Tag-Along Manager wishing to sell its Units within 10
     business days following the date of delivery of the Tag-Along Notice (the
     "Election Period"), by delivery of a written notice to the Company
     indicating such Tag-Along Manager's wish to irrevocably exercise its rights
     and specifying the number of Units (up to the maximum number of Units owned
     by such Tag-Along Manager requested to be purchased by such Tag-Along
     Purchaser) it wishes to sell; provided that any Tag-Along Manager may waive
     its rights under this Section 2.04 prior to the expiration of such
     10-business day period by giving written notice to the Company, which will
     be distributed by the Company to the transferring Sponsor Member(s). The
     failure of a Tag-Along Manager to respond within such 10-business day
     period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Tag-Along Manager's rights
     under this Section 2.04.

     (c) In connection with any sale pursuant to this Section 2.04, each
Tag-Along Manager shall make to the Tag-Along Purchaser the same
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the
transferring Sponsor Member(s) makes in connection with the proposed transfer
(except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities
and agreements pertaining specifically to the transferring Sponsor Member(s), a
Tag-Along Manager shall make the comparable representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnities and agreements); provided that all representations,
warranties and indemnities shall be made by the transferring Sponsor Member(s)
and such Tag-Along Manager severally and not jointly and that the liability of
the transferring Sponsor Member(s) and such Tag-Along Manager thereunder shall
be borne by each of them on a pro rata basis. The Tag-Along Managers shall
receive the same type and amount of consideration (and rights) per Unit as is
paid or delivered to the transferring Sponsor Member(s) in the sale pursuant to
Section 2.04(a).

     (d) No Transfer of any Unit pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be
effective unless and until the applicable transferee agrees to be bound by all
of the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement.

Management Members' Representations, Warranties and Agreements

     (jjj) Units Unregistered. Each Management Member acknowledges and
represents that such Management Member has been advised by the Company that:

          (A) the offer and sale of the Units have not been registered under the
     1933 Act;

          (B) the Units must be held and the Management Member must continue to
     bear the economic risk of the investment in the Units unless the offer and
     sale of such Units are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and all
     applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is
     available and the Units may never be so registered;

          (C) there is no established market for the Units and it is not
     anticipated that there will be any public market for the Units in the
     foreseeable future;

          (D) a restrictive legend in the form set forth below shall be placed
     on the certificates representing the Units:

          "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED
          ON ______________, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
          OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN
          THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN
          EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
          THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO CERTAIN TRANSFER AND OTHER
          RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT,
          DATED AS OF MAY 17, 2004 AMONG NALCO LLC AND CERTAIN OF ITS MEMBERS,
          THE MANAGEMENT MEMBERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JUNE 11, 2004 AMONG
          NALCO LLC AND CERTAIN MANAGEMENT MEMBERS NAMED THEREIN, THE
          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT AMONG NALCO LLC AND CERTAIN OF ITS
          MEMBERS AND, AMONG OTHER THINGS, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN
          COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. COPIES OF SUCH LIMITED
          LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT, SUCH MANAGEMENT MEMBERS AGREEMENTS AND
          SUCH REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF
          THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND ARE AVAILABLE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON
          WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY
          ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE
          APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE AFORESAID AGREEMENTS.";

          (E) a restrictive legend in the form set forth below shall be placed
     on the certificates representing the Units held by Georgia residents:

               "THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED OR SOLD IN RELIANCE ON
          PARAGRAPH 13 OF CODE SECTION 10-5-9 OF THE "GEORGIA SECURITIES ACT OF
          1973," AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN A TRANSACTION
          WHICH IS EXEMPT UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
          REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT." and

          (F) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company
     indicating that the Units are subject to restrictions on transfer and, if
     the Company should at some time in the future engage the services of a
     securities transfer agent, appropriate stop-transfer instructions may be
     issued to such transfer agent with respect to the Units.

     (kkk) Additional Investment Representations. Each Management Member
represents and warrants that:

          (A) the Management Member's financial situation is such that such
     Management Member can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Units
     for an indefinite period of time, has adequate means for providing for the
     Management Member's current needs and personal contingencies, and can
     afford to suffer a complete loss of the Management Member's investment in
     the Units;

          (B) the Management Member's knowledge and experience in financial and
     business matters are such that the Management Member is capable of
     evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Units;

          (C) the Management Member understands that the Units are a speculative
     investment which involves a high degree of risk of loss of Management
     Member's investment therein, there are substantial restrictions on the
     transferability of the Units and, on the date on which such Management
     Member acquires such Units and for an indefinite period following such
     date, there will be no public market for the Units and, accordingly, it may
     not be possible for the Management Member to liquidate the Management
     Member's investment including in case of emergency, if at all;

          (D) the terms of this Agreement provide that if the Management Member
     ceases to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates, the Company
     and its Affiliates have the right to repurchase the Units at a price which
     may be less than the Fair Market Value thereof;

          (E) the Management Member understands and has taken cognizance of all
     the risk factors related to the purchase of the Units and, other than as
     set forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties have been
     made to the Management Member or Management Member's representatives
     concerning the Units, the Company, the Subsidiaries or their respective
     prospects or other matters;

          (F) the Management Member has been given the opportunity to examine
     all documents and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the
     Company and its representatives concerning the Company and its
     subsidiaries, the acquisition of Nalco Company and certain Subsidiaries of
     Nalco International S.A.S. by subsidiaries of the Company, the LLC
     Agreement, the Company's organizational documents and the terms and
     conditions of the purchase of the Units and to obtain any additional
     information which the Management Member deems necessary; and

          (G) all information which the Management Member has provided to the
     Company and the Company's representatives concerning the Management Member
     and the Management Member's financial position is complete and correct as
     of the date of this Agreement.

     (lll) Section 83(b) Election. Within 30 days after purchasing any Units
(other than Class A Units), each Management Member may make an election with the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (an "83(b)
Election") in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (any Units with respect to
which such an election is properly made, "Electing Units"). Each Management
Member shall submit any such election to the IRS within 30 calendar days after
purchasing the Units and shall promptly send a copy to the Company. Management
Members holding Electing Units shall use an accounting firm selected and paid
for by the Company or a Subsidiary to file and handle all matters relating to
their 2004, 2005 and 2006 personal income tax returns. Management Members
holding Electing Units shall for all tax reporting purposes use the Units
valuation prepared by the Company's third party valuation firm in connection
with the issuance of such Units. To the extent that a Management Member does not
make an 83(b) Election with respect to any Units (other than Class A Units) and
such Management Member is subject to ordinary income and withholding taxes upon
the vesting of such Units (the "Vesting Units") the Management Member will be
required to pay, in cash, to the Company an amount equal to such withholding
taxes, as determined by the Company in good faith. To the extent that the
withholding taxes, with respect to the Vesting Units, are not paid to the
Company within five days following a request from the Company to pay such
withholding taxes, the Management Member will forfeit, without the payment of
consideration, the Vesting Units.

     Section 1.04. Contingent Loan. A Management Member shall, subject to the
conditions set forth on Exhibit B, be entitled to a loan from the Company on the
terms set forth on Exhibit B with respect to any Electing Units.

     Section 1.05. Contingent Bonus. The Company shall cause one of its
Subsidiaries to pay a bonus to Management Members in the circumstances set forth
in Exhibit C.

Transfers; Acceleration

     (mmm) Transfer. (iv) Until the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, except as
required by law, no Management Member may directly or indirectly, sell, contract
to sell, give, assign, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest
in, offer, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or
contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any economic, voting or other rights in or to
(collectively, "Transfer") any Units except pursuant to (i) Article XI of the
LLC Agreement, (ii) Sections 2.02 or 2.04 hereof or (iii) a Transfer to a
Manager Permitted Transferee (each a "Permitted Transfer").

          (A) Following a Qualified IPO and the expiration of any underwriter or
     Company "lock-up" period (as provided for in Section 4(a) of the
     Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise) applicable to such Qualified
     IPO, each Management Member may only Transfer its Units pursuant to (i) a
     Permitted Transfer, (ii) a Transfer pursuant to Section 2.03, (iii) a
     Transfer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or (iv) a
     Transfer conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144
     promulgated under the 1933 Act; provided, that no Management Member

     shall make a Transfer pursuant to this clause (iv) without the Company's
     prior, written approval.

          (B) No Transfer by any Management Member may be made pursuant to this
     Article II unless (i) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by
     the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement (other
     than if the Transfer is conducted in accordance with the Registration
     Rights Agreement or the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933
     Act), (ii) the Transfer complies in all respects with the applicable
     provisions of this Agreement, (iii) the Transfer complies in all respects
     with applicable federal and state securities laws, including the 1933 Act
     and (iv) the Transfer is made in compliance with all applicable Company
     policies and restrictions (including any trading "window periods" or other
     policies regulating insider trading); provided, that the conditions to
     Transfer described in clause (i) above shall not apply to a Transfer
     pursuant Article XI of the LLC Agreement or Sections 2.02, 2.03 or 2.04
     hereof.

     (d) No Transfer by any Management Member may be made pursuant to this
Article II (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
1933 Act) unless and until such Management Member has first delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to
the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the 1933 Act and
applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such Transfer.

     (e) No Management Member may Transfer Accelerated Vesting C/D Units prior
to the one-year anniversary of the date on which they became Accelerated Vesting
C/D Units following a Sponsor Sell-Down.

     (nnn) Call Option. (a) If a Management Member's Services to the Company or
any Subsidiary terminate for any of the reasons set forth in clauses (i), (ii)
or (iii) below (each such event a "Termination Event"), the Company shall have
the right but not the obligation to purchase, from time to time after such
termination of Services (x) in the case of any Unvested Unit, for a period of
120 days (subject to extension as provided below) immediately following the date
of the Termination Event and (y) in the case of any Class A Unit or Vested Unit,
for a period of 60 days (subject to extension as provided below) immediately
following the later of (A) the date of the Termination Event and (B) the date
that is six (6) months and one day after the date on which such Management
Members' Unit became a Vested Unit or after the date on which such Management
Member acquired such Class A Unit (the later of (A) and (B), the "First Purchase
Date"), and such Management Member shall be required to sell to the Company, any
or all of such Units then held by such Management Member (it being understood
that if Units of any class subject to repurchase hereunder may be repurchased at
different prices, the Company, at its sole discretion, may elect to repurchase
all or any portion of the Units of such class, including purchasing only such
lower priced Units), at a price per Unit equal to the applicable purchase price
determined pursuant to Section 2.02(c):

          (1) if such Management Member's Service with the Company and its
     Subsidiaries is terminated due to the Disability or death of the Management
     Member;

          (2) if such Management Member's Service with the Company and its
     Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company and its Subsidiaries without
     Cause or by the Management Member for any reason;

          (3) if such Management Member's Service with the Company and its
     Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for
     Cause.

     Any Unvested Units purchased by the Company shall be canceled.

     (b) If on the 61st day following (x) in the case of Class A Units, the date
of the Termination Event and (y) in the case of Vested Units, the First Purchase
Date, the Company has not purchased all of a terminated Management Member's
Units, and the Company has not opted to extend its 60 day election period
pursuant to Section 2.02(d), the Company shall on or before the 61st day provide
written notice to the Investor Groups of (i) its decision not to purchase some
or all of such Units and (ii) the number of such Management Member's Eligible
Units (defined below) which the Company did not purchase, and the Investor
Groups shall have the right to purchase and such Management Member shall be
required to sell to the Investor Group(s), any or all of the Class A and Vested
Units (the "Eligible Units") then held by such Management Member at a price per
Unit equal to the applicable purchase price determined pursuant to Section
2.02(c). The Investor Groups' rights to purchase such Eligible Units and each
Management Member's corresponding obligation to sell such Eligible Units shall
terminate on the 120th day following (x) in the case of Class A Units, the date
of the Termination Event and (y) in the case of Vested Units, the First Purchase
Date. Upon receipt of the written notice described above, each Investor Group
desiring to purchase Units shall within 45 days of receipt of the Company's
notice provide written notice to the Company, specifying that such Investor
Group is willing to purchase either (i) its pro rata share of the Eligible Units
(based upon the number of Units held by such Investor Group relative to the
total number of Units held by all of the Investor Groups), (ii) a number of
Eligible Units less than such Investor Group's pro rata share, or (iii) any and
all Units available to be purchased; provided, that the Investor Groups shall,
as much as reasonably practicable, consult with each other and coordinate the
exercise of rights such that all Eligible Units are elected to be purchased.
Upon receipt of the Investor Groups' respective notices, the Company will notify
the Management Member of the Investor Group(s)' elections and the Management
Member will be obligated to sell (x) to the Investor Groups making elections
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, the number of
Eligible Units elected to be purchased by such Investor Groups and (y) all
remaining Eligible Units, if any, to the Investor Groups making the election
described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence to such Investor Group(s) on
a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Units held by such Investor Group
relative to the total number of Units held by all of the Investor Groups making
such election), but in no event more that any such Investor Groups elected to
purchase.

     (c) In the event of a purchase by the Company pursuant to Section 2.02(a)
and/or the Investor Group(s) pursuant to Section 2.02(b) (each a "Units Buyer"),
the purchase price shall be:

          (i) in the case of a Termination Event specified in Section 2.02(a)(i)
     or 2.02(a)(ii):

          (x) for Class A Units and Vested Units, a price per Unit equal to the
          most recently determined Fair Market Value; and

          (y) for Unvested Units, a price per Unit equal to the lesser of (1)
          the most recently determined Fair Market Value and (2) Cost.

          (ii) in the case of a Termination Event specified in Section
     2.02(a)(iii), for Class A Units, Vested Units and Unvested Units, a price
     per Unit equal to the lesser of (1) Fair Market Value and (2) Cost.

     (d) The Units Buyer may pay the purchase price for such Units (i) by
delivery of funds deposited into an account designated by the Management Member,
a bank cashier's check, a certified check or a company check of the Units Buyer
for the purchase price; (ii) if the Units Buyer is the Company and is prohibited
from paying cash by financing or liquidity constraints and is unable to pay the
purchase price as provided in clause (iii), by delaying the exercise of the
purchase right described under Section 2.02(a) until the earlier of (x) when the
financing restrictions lapse and (y) when the Company is able to pay the
purchase price as provided in clause (iii); or (iii) if the Units Buyer is the
Company and has the right to purchase such Units during the period following a
Qualified IPO (including in respect of a purchase that was delayed pursuant to
clause (ii)), by delivery of a number of shares of Issuer Common Stock
determined by dividing (A) the aggregate purchase price of the Units being sold
by such Management Member by (B) the Public Share FMV as of the close of trading
on the trading day immediately prior to the delivery thereof to the Management
Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Units
Buyer may deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to
this Agreement such amounts as necessary to comply with the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any other provision of applicable law,
with respect to the making of such payment.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, the Company
shall not be obligated to purchase any Units at any time pursuant to this
Section 2.02, regardless of whether it has delivered a notice of its election to
purchase any such Units, (i) to the extent that (A) the purchase of such Units
(together with any other purchases of Units pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03
hereof, or pursuant to similar provisions in any other agreements with other
investors of which the Company has at such time been given or has given notice)
or (B) in the event of an election to purchase such Units with shares of Issuer
Common Stock, the issuance of such shares by the IPO Entity, the purchase of
such shares by the Company or the distribution of such shares to the Management
Member would result (x) in a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation,
policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by
any governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of its or their assets (including any unavailability of a registration
statement or exemption from registration necessary to allow delivery of shares
of Issuer Common Stock to the Management Member), (y) after giving effect
thereto (including any dividends or other distributions or loans from a
Subsidiary of the Company to the Company in connection therewith), in a
Financing Default or (z) in the Company being required to disgorge any profit to
the IPO Entity pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, (ii) if immediately
prior to such purchase of Units, issuance of Issuer Common Stock or purchase of
shares of Issuer Common Stock, as the case may be, there exists a Financing
Default which prohibits such issuance or purchase (including any dividends or
other distributions or loans from a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company in
connection therewith), or (iii) if the Company does not have funds available to
effect such purchase of Units or Issuer Common Stock. The Company shall within
30 days of learning of any such fact so

notify the Management Member that it is not obligated to purchase such Units and
has deferred its right to make such purchase until such violation, potential
liability under the 1933 Act or 1934 Act, Financing Default or unavailability of
funds would not result therefrom or has ceased. The Company agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such Financing Default that is
curable. To the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.02(e), the Company is
not obligated to pay for a Management Member's Units in accordance with one of
the payment methods described in the first sentence of Section 2.02(d), the
Company shall, except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e), be
required to pay for such Units pursuant to an alternate method of payment
described in the first sentence of Section 2.02(d).

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.02, any Units which the Company has elected to purchase from a Management
Member, but which in accordance with Section 2.02(e) are not purchased at the
applicable time provided in this Section 2.02, shall be purchased by the Company
on the tenth Business Day after such date or dates that it is no longer
permitted to defer purchasing such Units under Section 2.02(e), and the Company
shall give such Management Member five Business Days prior notice of any such
purchase.

     (ooo) Put Right. (a) Subject to the Call Right described in Section 2.02,
following a Qualified IPO and for so long as no Termination Event pursuant to
Section 2.02(a)(iii) shall have occurred with respect to a Management Member,
such Management Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell
(the "Put Right") beginning on the later of (i) in the case of Class A Units and
Equity Units that were Vested Units on the date of consummation of the Qualified
IPO, the later of (x) the first date immediately following the expiration of any
Company or underwriter "lock-up" period applicable to such Qualified IPO and (y)
the date that is at least six (6) months and one day after, (A) in the case of
Class A Units, the Sale Date, and (B) in the case of any Equity Units that were
Vested Units on the date of consummation of the Qualified IPO, the date on which
such Equity Units became Vested Units and (ii) in the case of Equity Units that
were Unvested Units on the date of consummation of the Qualified IPO, the date
that is six (6) months and one day after the date on which such Management
Member's Units became Vested Units (the later of (i) and (ii) shall be referred
to as the "First Put Date"), and the Company shall be required to purchase from
such Management Member, a number of such Management Member's Class A Units and
Vested Units as determined by such Management Member, at a price per Unit equal
to the Fair Market Value as of the date the Management Member exercises such Put
Right. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Call Right described in
Section 2.02, a Management Member shall remain entitled to the Put Right
following a Termination Event pursuant to Sections 2.02(a)(i) or (ii) with
respect to such Management Member.

     (b) Each Management Member who desires to sell any of his or her Class A
Units or Vested Units following the applicable First Put Date shall send written
notice to the Company of his or her intention to sell such Units pursuant to
this Section 2.03. Subject to the exercise of any Call Right pursuant to Section
2.02, the closing of the purchase shall take place at the principal office of
the Company on a date specified by the Company no later than 30 days after the
giving of such notice.

     (c) At the closing of a purchase pursuant to a Put Right, the Company will
pay to the Management Member the purchase price for such Units (determined in
accordance with Section 2.03(a)) by delivery of a number of shares of Issuer
Common Stock determined by dividing (A) the aggregate purchase price of the
Units being sold by such Management Member

by (B) the Public Share FMV as of the close of trading on the trading day
immediately prior to the delivery thereof to the Management Member.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, the Company
shall not be obligated to purchase any Units at any time pursuant to this
Section 2.03 (i) to the extent that (A) the purchase of such Units (together
with any other purchases of Units pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, or
pursuant to similar provisions in any other agreements with other investors of
which the Company has at such time been given or has given notice) or (B) the
issuance of shares by the IPO Entity or the purchase of such shares by the
Company would result (x) in a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation,
policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by
any governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of its or their assets (including any unavailability of a registration
statement or exemption from registration necessary to allow delivery of shares
of Issuer Common Stock to the Management Member(s)), (y) after giving effect
thereto, in a Financing Default or (z) in the Company being required to disgorge
any profit to the IPO Entity pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act or (ii)
if immediately prior to such purchase of Units, issuance of Issuer Common Stock
or purchase of shares of Issuer Common Stock, as the case may be, there exists a
Financing Default which prohibits any such issuance or purchase. The Company
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such Financing Default
that is curable. To the extent that the Company is not obligated to pay for any
Units as described in the first sentence of Section 2.03(c) pursuant to the
terms of this Section 2.03(d), the Company shall promptly notify any Management
Member that has delivered a notice of exercise of a Put Right that it is not
obligated to purchase such Units and has deferred its right to make such
purchase until such violation, potential liability under the 1933 Act or 1934
Act or Financing Default would not result therefrom or has ceased.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.03, any Units which a Management Member has elected to sell to the Company,
but which in accordance with Section 2.03(d) are not purchased at the applicable
time provided in this Section 2.03, shall be purchased by the Company on the
tenth Business Day after such date or dates that it is no longer permitted to
defer purchasing such Units under Section 2.03(d), and the Company shall give
such Management Member five Business Days prior notice of any such purchase.

     (ppp) Tag-Along Right. (v) If, at any time prior to a Qualified IPO, one or
more Sponsor Members propose to Transfer, in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions, a number of Class A Units representing at least 30% of the
Sponsor Members' aggregate Initial Equity Stakes (as defined in the LLC
Agreement) to any Person (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee (as
defined in the LLC Agreement) of any such Sponsor Member and other than a
Transfer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement and other than to
another Sponsor Member) (a "Tag-Along Purchaser"), then, unless such
transferring Sponsor Member(s) are entitled to give and do give a Drag-Along
Sale Notice (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and no other Sponsor Member(s) has
elected to purchase its pro rata share of such Class A Units pursuant to Section
2.04(a) of the Sponsor Agreement, the Company shall first provide written notice
to each of the Management Members, which notice (the "Tag-Along Notice") shall
state: (i) the maximum number of Class A Units proposed to be Transferred (the
"Tag-Along Securities"); (ii) the purchase price per Unit (the "Tag-Along
Price") for the Tag-Along Securities and (iii) any other material terms and
conditions of such sale, including the proposed transfer date (which date will
be within 60 business days after the termination of the Election Period (defined
below), subject to extension for any required

regulatory approvals). Each of the Management Members that has been provided
with the Tag-Along Notice (each, a "Tag-Along Manager") shall have the right to
sell to such Tag-Along Purchaser, upon the terms set forth in the Tag-Along
Notice, up to the aggregate number of Class A Units which are held by such
Tag-Along Manager multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
aggregate number of Class A Units proposed to be sold by the transferring
Sponsor Member as reflected in the Tag-Along Notice and the denominator of which
is the total number of Class A Units which are held by the transferring Sponsor
Member. If the number of Class A Units elected to be sold by the Tag-Along
Managers and any other individuals identified from time to time on Exhibit A to
the LLC Agreement, the transferring Sponsor Member and any other Sponsor Members
electing to participate in such sale is greater than the number of Tag-Along
Securities specified in the Tag-Along Notice, the number of Class A Units being
sold by each such seller shall be reduced such that the applicable seller shall
be entitled to (and obligated to) sell only their pro rata share of Class A
Units (based on the aggregate number of Class A Units held by such seller to the
total number of Class A Units held by all of such electing sellers). The
transferring Sponsor Member(s), the Sponsor Members electing to participate in
such sale and the Tag-Along Manager(s) exercising their rights pursuant to this
Section 2.04 shall effect the sale of the Tag-Along Securities, and such
Tag-Along Manager(s) shall sell the number of Tag-Along Securities required to
be sold by such Tag-Along Manager(s) pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) within 60
business days after the expiration of the Election Period, subject to extension
for any required regulatory approvals.

          (A) The tag-along rights provided by this Section 2.04 must be
     exercised by any Tag-Along Manager wishing to sell its Class A Units within
     10 business days following the date of delivery of the Tag-Along Notice
     (the "Election Period"), by delivery of a written notice to the Company
     indicating such Tag-Along Manager's wish to irrevocably exercise its rights
     and specifying the number of Class A Units (up to the maximum number of
     Class A Units owned by such Tag-Along Manager requested to be purchased by
     such Tag-Along Purchaser) it wishes to sell; provided that any Tag-Along
     Manager may waive its rights under this Section 2.04 prior to the
     expiration of such 10-business day period by giving written notice to the
     Company, which will be distributed by the Company to the transferring
     Sponsor Member(s). The failure of a Tag-Along Manager to respond within
     such 10-business day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such
     Tag-Along Manager's rights under this Section 2.04.

     (c) In connection with any sale pursuant to this Section 2.04, each
Tag-Along Manager shall make to the Tag-Along Purchaser the same
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the
transferring Sponsor Member(s) makes in connection with the proposed transfer
(except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities
and agreements pertaining specifically to the transferring Sponsor Member(s), a
Tag-Along Manager shall make the comparable representations, warranties,
covenants, indemnities and agreements); provided that all representations,
warranties and indemnities shall be made by the transferring Sponsor Member(s)
and such Tag-Along Manager severally and not jointly and that the liability of
the transferring Sponsor Member(s) and such Tag-Along Manager thereunder shall
be borne by each of them on a pro rata basis. The Tag-Along Managers shall
receive the

same type and amount of consideration (and rights) per Class A Unit as is paid
or delivered to the transferring Sponsor Member(s) in the sale pursuant to
Section 2.04(a).

     (d) No Transfer of any Unit pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be
effective unless and until the applicable transferee agrees to be bound by all
of the terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement.

     Section 2.05. Fair Market Value. Either the Board or the compensation
committee of the Board shall undertake in good faith to determine the Fair
Market Value of the Units no less frequently than annually and on a quarterly
basis if necessary in connection with a Transfer of Units to the Company
pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 of this Agreement. Such determination
shall be made in the sole discretion of the Board or the compensation committee
of the Board, as the case may be.

     Section 2.06. Accelerated Vesting. Either the Board or the compensation
committee of the Board may from time to time accelerate the vesting of the
Equity Units, including, if appropriate, in connection with a Change of Control.
