W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company entered into that certain Unit Grant Agreement dated as of July 24, 2018 (the “Initial Grant Date” and such agreement, the “Prior Agreement”);

WHEREAS, on July 21, 2019, the Company, BL Taurus LLC, BL ABG Holdings LLC, Jasper Ridge Diversified, L.P., Terrebonne Investments, L.P., JRP Professionals SPV, L.P. Series M (ABG), JRP ABG Investors, L.P. and certain other parties have entered into that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which certain parties thereto will acquire interests in the Company (the transactions contemplated by such agreement, the “Transaction” and the closing of such Transaction, the “Transaction Closing”);

WHEREAS, immediately following the Transaction Closing, certain Common Units issued pursuant to the Prior Agreement will be exchanged for Class A Common Units (the “Exchange”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement to reflect the Exchange on the terms herein provided.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the respective representations, warranties, covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.              Certain Definitions. Capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A hereto or otherwise in the LLC Agreement or as defined herein.

2.              Exchange.

2.1.           Exchange of Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby exchanges, effective immediately following the Transaction Closing, 3,346,976.00 Class K Common Units for 1,801,091.46 Class A Common Units (the “Units”). The Units consist of (a) 1,080,654.88 Class A Common Units subject to time-based vesting in accordance with Section 3.1 (the “Time-Based Units”) and (b) 720,436.58 Class A Common Units subject to return-based vesting in accordance with Section 3.2 (the “Return-Based Units”). The Class A Common Units are not subject to a Benchmark Amount.

2.2.           Closing; Deliveries.

(a)               The exchange of the Units shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures effective as of immediately following the Transaction Closing (which time and place are designated as the “Closing”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Transaction is not consummated, this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio and the Prior Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

2.3.           Right to Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the LLC Agreement or this Agreement, any distributions (or portions thereof) with respect to any Unit that remains subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and 3.2(a) (each, a “Forfeitable Unit”) that would otherwise be distributed to Executive pursuant to Section 10.1 of the LLC Agreement shall be held by the Company in a segregated interest-bearing account (separate from and not commingled with the general funds of the Company) and shall be invested in such manner as may be determined by the Board. Any such amount with respect to such a Unit (including any interest or other income with respect thereto) shall be distributed to Executive when such Unit no longer constitutes a Forfeitable Unit; provided, that if any such Unit has been forfeited pursuant to Section 3 or otherwise prior to such distribution, then such amount (including any interest or other income with respect thereto) shall be distributed as determined by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.1 of the LLC Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.3 shall not limit any Tax Distributions (as defined in the LLC Agreement) payable to Executive pursuant to Section 10.2 of the LLC Agreement.

3.              Forfeiture.

3.1.           Time-Based Units.

(a)               In the event of (i) Termination Event prior to the earliest of (A) the applicable Time-Based Vesting Date set forth below, (B) a Change in Control, or (C) a Qualifying Event and (ii) the absence of a Change in Control during the twelve -month period immediately following such termination, Executive shall automatically forfeit the number of Units set forth below adjacent to such Time-Based Vesting Date for no consideration on the first day following the twelve -month anniversary of such termination of Employment:

provided that, no such forfeiture shall occur with respect to any Units that upon such termination of Employment would become vested in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in the Employment Agreement, the number of Time-Based Units forfeited on the twelve -month anniversary of a termination of Employment pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) will equal the aggregate sum of all Time-Based Units related to each Time-Based Vesting Date occurring after the date of such termination of Employment (as set forth on the table above).

(b)               In the event of (i) termination of Executive’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates by the Company for Cause, or (ii) Executive’s breach of the covenants incorporated by reference into Section 7, Executive shall automatically forfeit all Time-Based Units for no consideration on the date of such breach or termination of Employment.

3.2.           Return-Based Units.

(a)               In the event of a Termination Event before a Threshold Event, Executive shall automatically forfeit the Maximum Forfeitable Units (defined below) for no consideration on the date of such Termination Event. In the event of a Termination Event on or after a Threshold Event, Executive shall automatically forfeit all or a portion of the Return-Based Units based on the Liquidity Event Price achieved in a Liquidity Event on or prior to the date of such Termination Event, as set forth below, for no consideration, on the date of such Termination Event:

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) once a Liquidity Event Price set forth above is achieved in a Liquidity Event, the applicable Return-Based Units will no longer be subject to forfeiture, regardless of the Liquidity Event Price in any subsequent Liquidity Event, and (ii) the parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of the Employment Agreement relating to the treatment of Return-Based Units following a termination of Executive’s Employment shall apply to the Return-Based Units.

(b)               In the event of (i) termination of Executive’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates by the Company for Cause or (ii) Executive’s breach of the covenants incorporated by reference into Section 7, Executive shall automatically forfeit all Return-Based Units for no consideration on the date of such breach or termination of Employment.

(c)               In the event that both (i) the Liquidity Event Price does not equal or exceed $44.34 as of the Green Exit, and (ii) the Liquidity Event Price does not equal or exceed $44.34 as of the GA Exit, Executive shall automatically forfeit all Return-Based Units that remain subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3.2(a) for no consideration on the date of the Green Exit or GA Exit, as applicable.

3.3.           Company Call Right.

(a)               Subject to Section 3.3(b), in the event of termination of Executive’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates by Executive for any reason, the Company or any assignee or delegee of the Company, as applicable (including, without limitation an Affiliate of the Company), shall, for a period of 210 days following such termination, have the right to purchase Executive’s unforfeited Units as of the date of termination (after giving effect to the forfeiture provisions contemplated by Sections 3.1(a) and 3.2(a) above) (the “Call Right”) by delivery of a written notice of exercise of such right to Executive, at a price equal to the Call Price. The Call Price shall be paid by the Company (or its applicable assignee or delegee) in cash. Such purchase shall be effective immediately upon payment of the Call Price to Executive. For purposes of this Section 3.3, the “Call Price” of any Units means the fair market value of such Units as of the date the Company (or its applicable assignee or delegee) exercises the Call Right, taking into consideration, among other things, the provisions applicable to Incentive Common Units and their respective Benchmark Amount set forth in Schedule 1.1(a) of the LLC Agreement, the then-most recent valuations for internal reporting by the Green Parties and GA Parties and any equity issuances to, or purchases by, any third parties after such valuations. The Call Price shall be determined by the Board in its good faith discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) in the event of a termination of Executive’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates by the Company other than for Cause, the Call Right shall not apply, and (ii) in the event of (A) a termination of Executive’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates by the Company for Cause or (B) Executive’s breach of the covenants incorporated by reference into Section 7, Executive shall automatically forfeit all Units for no consideration on the date of such termination of Employment or breach.

(b)               Notwithstanding Section 3.3(a), (i) the Call Right with respect to unforfeited Time-Based Units shall expire on, and the Company shall have no right to purchase such unforfeited Time-Based Units under Section 3.3(a) on or after, October 26, 2021, and (ii) the Call Right with respect to unforfeited Return-Based Units shall expire on, and the Company shall have no right to purchase such unforfeited Return-Based Units under Section 3.3(a) on or after, the date of a Qualifying Event, in each case, subject to Executive’s continued Employment with the Company and its Affiliates through the applicable date.

4.              Tag-Along Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the LLC Agreement, the number of Common Units held by Executive for purposes of determining the number of Common Units that may be included in a Tag-Along Sale (as defined in the LLC Agreement) pursuant to Section 11.3(a) of the LLC Agreement shall exclude all Forfeitable Units.

Executive further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Units, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of Executive’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

6.6.           No Public Market. Executive understands that no public market now exists for the Units, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Units.

6.9.           No General Solicitation.

7.3.           In addition to any other right or remedy the Company may have against Executive for breach of the covenants incorporated by reference into this Section 7, effective as of the date of any such breach, an amount equal to the amount of any distributions received by Executive with respect to the Units on or prior to such breach shall immediately become due and payable by Executive to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to offset such amount against any other payments to be made to Executive after such breach, subject to any limitations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
