1.             Grant of Non-Voting Common Shares.  If Executive is then employed by the Company, effective January 8, 2007 and subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 2, the Company will admit Executive as a Member and issue to Executive spell out number of shares (XX,XXX) Non-Voting Common Shares in consideration of services rendered or to be rendered by Executive to the Company.  Executive will not be required to make any capital contribution or other payment of purchase price in exchange therefore, except that the Company shall be entitled to deduct withholding tax in accordance with Section 4.  Subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 2, effective [Date], Executive will (i) be treated as the owner of these Non-Voting Common Shares; (ii) take into account the distributive share of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit associated with such Non-Voting Common Shares; and (iii) be entitled to receive any distributions relating to such Non-Voting Common Shares that are made to the members of the Company, all in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement.

2.             Forfeiture/Vesting.  If the employment of Executive with the Company is terminated for any reason on or after [Date], Executive shall immediately upon such termination forfeit a portion of the Non-Voting Common Shares granted under Section 1, above, on the following basis:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on or after [Date], Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason, in lieu of the forfeiture schedule above the number of Non-Voting Common Shares forfeited immediately upon termination shall be equal to XXX.XX Non-Voting Common Shares for each full month remaining after the

termination date and continuing through [Date] and shall be equal to XXX.XX Non-Voting Common Shares for each full or partial month remaining after the termination date and continuing through [Date].  The terms “Cause” and “Good Reason” are defined in Section 7, below.  Certificates for Non-Voting Common Shares which are subject to forfeiture shall be held by the Company until such shares become fully vested.  A certificate for each tranche of Non-Voting Common Shares that have vested shall be issued to Executive promptly following the date on which such vesting occurs.  For purposes of this Agreement, Non-Voting Common Shares shall “vest” on the date on which the forfeiture provisions with respect thereto set forth in this Section 2 have lapsed.

3.             Consequences of Forfeiture.  Upon the forfeiture of any Non-Voting Common Shares pursuant to Section 2, such forfeited Non-Voting Common Shares shall, without any further action by any party hereto, be treated as no longer outstanding for any purpose whatsoever and Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation, distributions or other rights in connection with such forfeited Non-Voting Common Shares.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that for US federal income tax purposes the forfeiture of any Non-Voting Common Shares pursuant to Section 2 shall result in a deemed sale of such Non-Voting Common Shares to the Company for no consideration, and that the Capital Account (as defined in the LLC Agreement) of Executive at the time of such forfeiture shall be reduced by an amount equal to the portion of such Capital Account attributable to the forfeited Non-Voting Common Shares.
