EXECUTIVE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
PROFITS INTEREST UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
This Profits Interest Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made as of April 8, 2013, between Chiron Guernsey Holdings L.P. Inc., a Guernsey limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and Timothy E. Guertin (the “Participant”):
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, the Partnership has adopted the Chiron Guernsey Holdings L.P. Inc. Executive Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement (capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan or in the LP Agreement, as applicable);
WHEREAS, the Participant provides services to the Partnership or an Affiliate thereof;
WHEREAS, the Participant has agreed to pay the Partnership $0.01 in the aggregate pursuant to Guernsey Law in consideration for the award of Profits Interest Units set forth herein, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged;
WHEREAS, the General Partner has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Partnership to make the award of Profits Interest Units provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the award set forth herein is designed to compensate the Participant for his time and commitment in the performance of services to the Partnership or an Affiliate thereof by providing the Participant with a share of the appreciation and profits of the Partnership with respect to periods beginning after the date hereof.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Award of Profits Interest Units.
(a)    Profits Interest Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Partnership hereby grants to the Participant an award of 69,252 Profits Interest Units, with a Distribution Threshold of $7.28, in each case subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. The Profits Interest Units shall vest in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement.





(b)    Distributions. Distributions in respect of Profits Interest Units shall be made to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of the LP Agreement.
2.    Vesting. Except as provided in Section 4, the Profits Interest Units granted to the Participant shall vest as follows:
(a)    Time Vesting Units: With respect to 50% of the Profits Interest Units subject to this Agreement (the “Time Vesting Units”), subject to a Participant’s continued service as a non-employee director (“Service”) under the Services Agreement between the Participant and Chiron Holdings GP, Inc. through the applicable vesting date, 25% of the Time Vesting Units will cliff vest on the first anniversary of October 16, 2012 (the “Vesting Commencement Date”) and the remaining 75% of the Time Vesting Units will then vest ratably on a quarterly basis (e.g., every 3 months thereafter) over the following 12 quarters (36 months) thereafter (therefore, in normal course, the Time Vesting Units will fully vest over the four years from the Vesting Commencement Date). All Time Vesting Units, not previously forfeited, (subject to Section 4(a)), will vest upon the consummation of a Change of Control.
(b)    Performance Vesting Units: With respect to the remaining 50% of the Profits Interest Units subject to this Agreement (the “Performance Vesting Units”), the Performance Vesting Units will vest as follows, subject to a Participant’s continued Service through the applicable vesting date (except as otherwise provided in Section 3 or 4 below):
1/3 of the Performance Vesting Units will vest upon the later of (x) the Sponsors receiving aggregate cash amounts representing a multiple of cumulative Sponsor invested capital (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Participant investments in Class A-2 Interests of the Partnership) (“MOIC”) equal to 1.5x and (y) the occurrence of a Change of Control, an Initial Public Offering or a Qualifying Leveraged Recapitalization (as defined below);
1/3 of the Performance Vesting Units will vest upon the later of (x) the Sponsors receiving aggregate cash amounts representing a MOIC equal to 2.0x and (y) (if not having previously occurred) the occurrence of a Change of Control, an Initial Public Offering or a Qualifying Leveraged Recapitalization; and
1/3 of the Performance Vesting Units will vest upon the later of (x) the Sponsors receiving aggregate cash amounts representing a MOIC equal to 2.5x and (y) (if not having previously occurred) the occurrence of a Change of Control, an Initial Public Offering or a Qualifying Leveraged Recapitalization.

The General Partner shall determine what MOIC, if any, is attained in respect of the aggregate cash amounts received by the Sponsors.






If not previously forfeited, unvested Performance Vesting Units shall be forfeited upon the final disposition by the Sponsors of all their Class A-1 Interests of the Partnership.

For purposes of calculating MOIC, Marketable Securities shall be treated as cash.

Qualifying Leveraged Recapitalization” shall mean one or more leveraged recapitalizations of the Partnership resulting in aggregate distributions to the Partners in an amount equivalent to a MOIC of 1.5x.

3.    General Termination of Service Provisions:
(a)    All vesting of Profits Interest Units will cease immediately upon a Participant no longer providing Service to the Employer for any reason other than due to termination by the Employer without Cause or resignation by the Participant for Good Reason, and in such case all unvested Profits Interest Units will be automatically canceled without consideration and forfeited on such date.
(b)    Termination without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason: Subject to the provisions of Section 4, all vesting of Profits Interest Units will cease immediately upon a Participant’s termination of Service by the Employer without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason and all unvested Profits Interest Units will be automatically cancelled without consideration and forfeited on such date except that (i) with respect to Time Vesting Interests, the Participant will vest with respect what would have vested on the next scheduled vesting date (e.g., 25% in the event of termination prior to the first anniversary or what would have vested on the next quarterly vesting date in the case of a termination after the first anniversary) and (ii) with respect to Performance Vesting Interests (except for certain Transition Terminations in connection with a Divestiture (as described in Section 4)), in the event that a transaction or transactions occur within the 6 month period following such a termination of Service which would have resulted in vesting of any portion of the Performance Vesting Interests, the Participant shall be deemed vested in those interests.

4.    Special Vesting Provisions
(a)    Change of Control: All Time Vesting Interests, not previously forfeited, will vest upon the consummation of a Change of Control. In the event a Change of Control occurs within 105 days following a Participant’s termination of Service by the Employer without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, the Participant shall be deemed to vest in all of his or her Time Vesting Interests (i.e., disregarding the prior termination of Service for such purposes)





(b)    Required Sale. In addition, in the event of a Required Sale (as defined in the LP Agreement) which is made applicable to the Performance Vesting Units pursuant to Section 4.5 of the LP Agreement, the Performance Vesting Units shall, to the extent not previously vested, vest based upon the MOIC implied by the Change of Control to which such Required Sale relates (assuming for such purpose only that the Partners received a distribution with respect to the sale of all of their then remaining Class A Interests at the price per Class A Interest received in connection with such Change of Control).
5.    Rights as Holder of Profits Interest Units. The Participant shall be the record owner of the Profits Interest Units granted hereunder unless and until such Profits Interest Units are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 or 4, repurchased pursuant to Section VI(F) of the Plan or Section 10 hereof or transferred in accordance with Section 7, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a holder of Profits Interest Units; provided, that the Profits Interest Units shall be subject to the limitations on transfer and encumbrance set forth in this Agreement, the Plan and the LP Agreement.
6.    Investment Intent; Other Representations of Participant.
(a)    Investment Intent. The Participant hereby represents and warrants that the Profits Interest Units must be held for investment purposes and are not being received with a view to distribution thereof, and covenants and agrees to make such other reasonable and customary representations as requested by the Partnership regarding matters relevant to compliance with applicable securities laws as are deemed necessary by counsel to the Partnership; and
(b)    No Reliance on the Partnership. In making his or her investment decision with respect to the receipt of the Profits Interest Units, the Participant has not relied upon the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, or any representative thereof for any advice of any sort, including, but not limited to tax or securities law advice.
7.    Transferability. The Participant may Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Profits Interest Unit or any interest in any Profits Interest Unit only with the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent shall be withheld or granted in the sole discretion of the General Partner, or as otherwise expressly permitted or required under the LP Agreement. Any purported assignment, transfer or grant by the Participant, directly or indirectly, of any Profits Interest Unit or any interest in any Profits Interest Unit which is made without such prior written consent or pursuant to the terms of the LP Agreement shall be entirely null and void, ab initio.
8.    Section 83(b) Election and Certain Related Income Tax Considerations. As a condition subsequent to the issuance of the Profits Interest Units pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant shall execute and deliver to the Partnership, the entity to whom the Participant provides services and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) a timely, valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code (the “83(b) Election”). The Participant hereby acknowledges that (x) the Partnership has not provided, and is not





hereby providing, the Participant with tax advice regarding the 83(b) Election and has urged the Participant to consult the Participant’s own tax advisor with respect to the income taxation consequences thereof, and (y) the Partnership has not advised the Participant to rely on any determination by it or its representatives as to the fair market value specified in the 83(b) Election and will have no liability to the Participant if the actual fair market value of the Profits Interest Units on the date hereof exceeds the amount specified in the 83(b) Election.
9.    Becoming a Partner of The Partnership; No Access to Information Regarding The Partnership. As a further condition to the issuance of the Profits Interest Units pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant shall execute and deliver to the Partnership a copy of the LP Agreement, together with such other documents as the General Partner may require, evidencing such Participant’s status as a “Partner” (as defined in the LP Agreement) of the Partnership. Notwithstanding the Participant’s status as a Partner of the Partnership, the Participant shall have no right, solely by virtue of holding a Profits Interest Unit, to (a) examine the books and records of or any other information of the Partnership or (b) obtain any information about the identities of the other Partners of the Partnership (or of the size or nature of such other Partners’ interests in the Partnership).
10.    General Partner Right to Repurchase Profits Interest Units on Termination of Service/Limited Put Rights.

(a)    The Profits Interest Units are subject to the Partnership’s right of repurchase pursuant to Section VI (F) of the Plan. In addition, the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative in the event of the Participant’s death) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Issuer to purchase their Profits Interest Units at Fair Market Value in the event of the Participant’s death or termination of Service due to Disability, determined as of the date of exercise of such right (which shall constitute a Put Right) provided that (i) such Put Right may only be exercised within 90 days following such death or termination due to Disability, (ii) the maximum dollar value of Profits Interest that the Issuer will be required to purchase from the Participant or their estate shall be $5,000,000 in any single calendar year and (iii) in no event shall the Issuer be obligated to purchase more than $20,000,000 worth of Profits Interest Units from all Participants as a group due to exercise of a Put Right on death or termination due to Disability in any single calendar year; provided that, to the extent limited as provided above, any portion of the Profits Interest not purchased as a result of such limitation shall be subject to a subsequent Put Right to the extent permitted under clauses (ii) and (iii) and, to the extent not permitted, when such limitations would no longer prohibit exercise of such Put Rights. Any Profits Interest Units not repurchased pursuant to such Put Right shall remain subject to the General Partner’s right of repurchase under Section VI(F) of the Plan and to the extent not so repurchased shall thereafter remain outstanding to the Participant (or legal representative), subject to the LP Agreement.





(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant exercises a Put Right, the Participant shall have the right to rescind the exercise of such Put Right within five (5) days following the General Partner’s notice to the Partnership of its determination of the Fair Market Value of the Profits Interest Units subject to the Put Right or, in the event the Participant has exercised its right to a Third Party Valuation within five (5) days following its receipt of the General Partner’s notice of the determination of Fair Market Value, within five (5) days following the receipt of the Third Party Valuation.
11.    LP Agreement. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any Profits Interest Units pursuant to this Agreement shall restrict in any way the adoption of any amendment to the LP Agreement in accordance with the terms of such agreement.
12.    Notices. Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Partnership at the principal executive office of the Partnership and to the Participant at the address appearing in the personnel records of the Partnership (or one of the Partnership’s Affiliates) for the Participant or to either party at such other address as either party hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.
