B. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Incentive Plan or the LLC Agreement, all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the Incentive Plan or any award made under the Incentive Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Board, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Persons, including the Company and its participating Affiliates, any Participant, any holder of Incentive Units, and any holder or beneficiary of any award made under the Incentive Plan. Such designations, determinations, interpretations and decisions by the Board need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).

 

C. Limitations on Liability. No member of the Board shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken, or determination made in good faith, with respect to the Incentive Plan or any award made under the Incentive Plan, and the members of the Board (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.03 of the LLC Agreement arising or resulting therefrom.

 

D. Delegation. Subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan, the LLC Agreement, the provisions of any Award Agreement and applicable Law, the Board may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers hereunder to a compensation committee selected by the Board, one or more officers or managers of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or to a committee of such officers or managers, subject to such terms and limitations as the Board shall determine. Any such delegation may be revoked by the Board at any time.

 

3. Awards; Incentive Units; Adjustments.

 

A. Awards; Incentive Units. Awards under the Incentive Plan shall be in the form of Incentive Units. Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3(B) below, the aggregate number of Incentive Units available for awards under the Incentive Plan shall be 226,196.93 Incentive Units (the “Incentive Pool”), which shall be split evenly between Incentive Units that vest based on service-vesting criteria and Incentive Units that vest based on performance-based criteria, as provided in the applicable Award Agreement. If, after the Effective Date, any Incentive Unit is forfeited, then such Incentive Unit shall again be available to be awarded under the Incentive Plan.

 

B. Adjustments.

 

(i) Upon any Adjustment Event, the Board shall make adjustments to the Incentive Plan, Incentive Units and Award Agreements to the extent and in such manner as the Board in good faith determines appropriate and equitable to reflect the event, including (A) adjusting the number of Incentive Units or other ownership interests or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property or cash) with respect to which awards may be made under the Incentive Plan and/or (B) adjusting the terms of any outstanding awards made under the Incentive Plan, including, without limitation, the Distribution Threshold, the number of Incentive Units subject to an outstanding award, and other Unit or Unit Equivalents (or number and kind of other property) subject to outstanding awards made under the Incentive Plan or to which outstanding awards relate. Adjustments made by the Board pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

 

 

 

(ii) In addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon (A) a Control Sale pursuant to Section 9.03 of the LLC Agreement, or (B) the Company entering into a written agreement to undergo a Control Sale, the Board (subject to rescission of such event if not consummated), in its sole discretion, may cancel all or any portion of any outstanding Incentive Units and cause the holders thereof to be paid the amount (if any) to which such Incentive Units which are then vested would be entitled under Section 7.02(a) of the LLC Agreement and require all Participants to participate in the Control Sale in accordance with the terms of such Control Sale and the LLC Agreement.

 

(iii) Furthermore, and without limiting the generality of Section 3(B)(i), upon the occurrence of an IPO, the Board may determine to (A) cause the exchange of Incentive Units for awards of the Company of substantially equivalent economic value and apply the vesting provisions applicable to the Incentive Units to such awards; (B) adjust the Distribution Threshold applicable to any Incentive Units and/or (C) cancel all or any portion of the Incentive Units in exchange for payment to the Participant, in cash or Equity Interests or any combination thereof, of an amount equal to the Call Price of the Incentive Units, in each case, as determined by the Board in a manner materially consistent with the treatment of other Units or Unit Equivalents in the IPO, taking into consideration the relative rights of all Units or Unit Equivalents, including the Distribution Threshold applicable to any Incentive Units.

 

C. Eligibility. Any Person who is a full or part-time officer, employee, service provider, consultant or key person of the Company or any Subsidiary or a member of the Board, and who is selected from time to time by the Board in its sole discretion, shall be eligible to be designated by the Board as a Participant in the Incentive Plan.

 

D. Incentive Units. The Board may grant awards of Incentive Units to a Participant pursuant to an Award Agreement, upon such terms as the Board deems appropriate and consistent with this Incentive Plan. The following provisions are applicable to Incentive Units, except as otherwise specified in an Award Agreement:

 

(i) General Requirements for Incentive Units. Incentive Units will be issued pursuant to an Award Agreement, which shall be executed by the Participant and a duly authorized officer of the Company or one of its Affiliates designated by the Board on behalf of the Company and which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall determine, consistent with this Incentive Plan and with the terms of the LLC Agreement. The Board may establish vesting and other conditions under which restrictions on Incentive Units shall lapse over a period of time or according to such other criteria as the Board deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and which shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. As a condition precedent to receipt of any Incentive Units, a Participant shall execute a joinder to the LLC Agreement (to the extent the LLC Agreement has not been previously executed by the Participant) in such form as may be presented to the Participant by the Board to effectuate such joinder.

 

 

 

(ii) Number of Incentive Units; Distribution Threshold. The Board shall determine the number of Incentive Units to be issued or transferred and the restrictions applicable to such award, as well as the Distribution Threshold applicable to such award.

 

(iii) Termination of Employment.

 

(1) Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, (i) if a Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, all Incentive Units granted to such Participant which remain unvested shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration, and (ii) if a Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause, all Incentive Units granted to such Participant, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and forfeited without consideration.

 

(2) Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, if a Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates other than as a result of Cause, then for a period of 180 days following such termination (the “Company Call Period”), the Company shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of such Participant’s Incentive Units that are vested as of the date of termination (after giving effect to the forfeiture provisions contemplated by Section 3(B)(iii)(1) above) by delivery of a written notice of exercise of such rights to such Participant, at a price equal to the Call Price, either in cash or for a subordinated note in a principal amount equal to the amount necessary to satisfy such repurchase right, which principal amount shall accrue interest at the applicable Federal rate, which principal (together with any accrued and unpaid interest on such subordinated note) shall be paid by the Partnership as soon as commercially practicable. For purposes of this Section 3(D)(iii), the “Call Price” means the lower of (i) the amount that would be payable in respect of the Incentive Units under the LLC Agreement if the Company were liquidated on the date of termination pursuant to Section 12.02(c) of the LLC Agreement, or (ii) 80% of the Fair Market Value of such Incentive Units as of the date of termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the Call Price will be $0 if the Distribution Threshold is not met as of the date of termination. If, following any termination from employment of a Participant, such Participant violates any non-competition, confidentiality, non-disparagement or other restrictive covenant in any written agreement or policy, then any vested Incentive Units that are held by such Participant may be repurchased by the Company for $0, and/or such Participant may be required to pay back to the Company any Call Price previously received by the Participant, as determined in the Board’s sole discretion. The Board may provide for complete or partial exceptions to the requirements of this Section 3(D)(iii) as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

 

(3) Upon (or following) a Change of Control or a Control Sale, or any similar transaction, the vesting of any Incentive Units, if applicable, will accelerate only if so provided for in the applicable Incentive Unit Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Board, in its sole discretion.

 

(iv) Restrictions on Transfer. Except pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as otherwise provided in this Incentive Plan or the LLC Agreement or as permitted by the Board, no Participant shall Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Incentive Unit or any interest in any Award Agreement, and any such Transfer shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any of its Affiliates unless consented to by the Board.

 

 

 

(v) Rights as Members. Upon the grant of Incentive Units pursuant to this Incentive Plan, a Participant shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Board, all the rights and obligations of an Incentive Member with respect to such Incentive Units as provided in the LLC Agreement, subject to the restrictions in his or her Award Agreement. As set forth in the LLC Agreement, no Participant shall, by virtue of his or her holding Incentive Units, have the right to vote or otherwise influence or control the management or operation of the Company.

 

4. Amendment and Termination. Subject to the limitations set forth in the LLC Agreement, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Incentive Plan or any portion thereof at any time without the consent of the Participants or the Members; provided, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially adversely affect the rights of any Participant shall not to that extent be effective without the written consent of a majority of all such adversely affected Participants, taking into account, for such purpose, all such outstanding Incentive Units, whether or not then vested; provided, further, that such consent shall not be required with respect to an amendment permitted by the LLC Agreement or made to conform the Incentive Plan to the LLC Agreement.

 

5. General Provisions.

 

A. No Rights to Awards. No Person shall have any claim to receive any award under the Incentive Plan. The terms and conditions of awards of Incentive Units and the determinations and interpretations with respect thereto made under the Incentive Plan need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not Participants are similarly situated or whether or not the Participant is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect).

 

B. LLC Agreement; Section 83(b) Election. Unless the Board determines otherwise, as a condition subsequent to the issue or transfer of any Incentive Unit to a Participant, the Participant (i) will be required to become a party to the LLC Agreement and (ii) may be required to make a timely, valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the issuance or transfer of Incentive Units to any Participant who either fails to become a party to the LLC Agreement and/or fails to make such a valid and timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code shall be void ab initio. None of the Company, the Board, nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company intend to guarantee any particular tax effect in connection with the award of Incentive Units hereunder, and it is the Participant’s sole responsibility and obligation to file the Section 83(b) election contemplated by the preceding sentence.

 

C. Withholding. A Participant may be required to pay to the Company, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall have the right and are hereby authorized to withhold from any payment or distribution due or transfer made in connection with any Incentive Unit, under the Incentive Plan or from any other amount owing to a Participant (including in connection with any Transfers), the amount (in cash, securities or other property) of any applicable Federal, state, or local withholding taxes in respect of an Incentive Unit or any payment or transfer under an Incentive Unit or the Incentive Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Board to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

 

 

 

D. No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Incentive Plan shall prevent the Company or any of its Affiliates from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the award of Incentive Units, securities and other types of awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

E. No Right to Employment or Other Engagement. No award made hereunder shall be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of, or in any other continuing relationship with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

 

F. Special Incentive Compensation. By acceptance of an award hereunder, each Participant shall be deemed to have agreed that such award is special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account, in any manner, as salary, compensation or bonus in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, life insurance, disability, severance or other employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. In addition, each beneficiary of a deceased Participant shall be deemed to have agreed that such award will not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage, if any, provided by any Person on the life of the Participant which is payable to such beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees.

 

G. Other Laws. The Board may refuse to issue or transfer any Incentive Units if it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Incentive Units would violate the LLC Agreement, the Securities Act or any applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no award of any Incentive Units hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Company in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable Laws.

 

H. No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Incentive Plan nor any award made under the Incentive Plan shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and a Participant or any other Person.

 

I. Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Incentive Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Incentive Plan and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state.

 

J. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTICIPANT, BY ACCEPTING AN AWARD UNDER THIS INCENTIVE PLAN, HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THE PARTICIPANT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INCENTIVE PLAN (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTICIPANT, BY ACCEPTING AN AWARD UNDER THIS PLAN (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE COMPANY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE COMPANY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PARTICIPANT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

 

 

K. Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, or relating in any manner to, this Incentive Plan or any Award Agreement (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County or, if the Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in another court of the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, or in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and the Company and each Participant consent to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world.

 

L. Severability. If any provision of the Incentive Plan or any award made hereunder is, becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or award, or would disqualify the Incentive Plan or any award under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the intent of the Incentive Plan or the award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or award and the remainder of the Incentive Plan and any such award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

M. Headings. Headings are used herein solely as a convenience to facilitate reference and shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Incentive Plan or any provision thereof.

 

N. Interpretation. The terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa.

 

O. Gender. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein shall also include the feminine.

 

P. Amendment to LLC Agreement. Neither the adoption of this Incentive Plan nor any award made hereunder shall restrict in any way the adoption of any amendment to the LLC Agreement in accordance with its terms.

 

Q. Conflict between the Incentive Plan and the LLC Agreement. The Incentive Plan is subject to the LLC Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein or in an Award Agreement and a term or provision of the LLC Agreement, the applicable terms and provisions of the LLC Agreement will govern and prevail. No Participant who holds only Incentive Units shall have any right to receive or review a copy of the Members Schedule to the LLC Agreement (except for information on the Members Schedule that relates solely to such Participant) or obtain other information about the identities of the other Participants or the size or nature of their interests in the Company. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of any Award Agreement, the applicable terms and provisions of this Incentive Plan will govern and prevail.

  

6. Term of the Incentive Plan.

 

A. Effective Date. The Incentive Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date, which is the date on which the Incentive Plan was approved by the Board.

 

B. Expiration Date. No award shall be made under the Incentive Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Expiration Date”). Unless otherwise expressly provided in an applicable Award Agreement, the termination of the Incentive Plan shall not affect the terms of any Incentive Unit awarded hereunder or otherwise subject hereto at the time of termination of the Incentive Plan, and Award Agreements then if effect shall continue in effect after the Expiration Date subject to the terms of any such Award Agreement.

Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, if a Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates other than as a result of Cause, then for a period beginning 180 days following such termination and ending 360 days following such termination (the “Company Call Period”), the Company shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of such Participant’s Incentive Units that are vested as of the date of termination (after giving effect to the forfeiture provisions contemplated by Section 3(B)(iii)(1) above) by delivery of a written notice of exercise of such rights to such Participant, at a price equal to the Call Price, either in cash or for a subordinated note in a principal amount equal to the amount necessary to satisfy such repurchase right, which principal amount shall accrue interest at the applicable Federal rate, which principal (together with any accrued and unpaid interest on such subordinated note) shall be paid by the Partnership as soon as commercially practicable. For purposes of this Section 3(D)(iii), the “Call Price” means the Fair Market Value of such Incentive Units as of the date of termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the Call Price will be $0 if the Distribution Threshold is not met as of the date of termination. If, following any termination from employment of a Participant, such Participant violates any non-competition, confidentiality, non-disparagement or other restrictive covenant in any written agreement or policy, then any vested Incentive Units that are held by such Participant may be repurchased by the Company for $0, and/or such Participant may be required to pay back to the Company any Call Price previously received by the Participant, as determined in the Board’s sole discretion. The Board may provide for complete or partial exceptions to the requirements of this Section 3(D)(iii) as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

 

2. All Other Provisions in Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly provided, all of the terms, covenants, conditions, restrictions and other provisions contained in the Incentive Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
