Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any Distribution (for avoidance of doubt, not including any Liquidating Distribution to the extent any Unvested Incentive Unit would not become a Vested Incentive Unit immediately prior to consummation of the corresponding Liquidity Event) that otherwise would be made with respect to any Unvested Incentive Unit pursuant to Section 4.2(d) (if such Unvested Incentive Unit were vested) shall be treated as distributed for purposes of Section 4.2(d) but shall be held in reserve by Holdings LLC or its Subsidiaries (the Reserve Amount) until such Unvested Incentive Unit either (i) vests (unless a
-22-
later time is expressly specified in any applicable Incentive Agreement), in which case the Reserve Amount attributable to such Unit shall be distributed to the Holder of such Unit, or (ii) expires or is forfeited, cancelled, repurchased or otherwise acquired by Holdings LLC or its Subsidiaries, in which case the Reserve Amount attributable to such Unit shall be re-distributed among the Holders of Units in accordance with the proportions, orders and priorities of this Section 4.2.
Section 4.3 Non-Liquidity Event Distributions. The Board shall not declare, and Holdings LLC shall not pay, any Non-Liquidity Event Distributions on any other class of Units, unless Holdings LLC shall have first paid a Distribution on each outstanding Class A-1 Unit in amount equal to an amount accruing daily at the rate of 6% per annum, commencing effective as of the original date of the purchase of such Class A-1 Units under the applicable Class A-1 Unit Purchase Agreement and compounding annually, on the initial Capital Contribution of $0.9564 made in respect of such Class A-1 Unit (the amount of such Distributions payable to the holders of Class A-1 Units shall be referred to herein as the Class A-1 Non-Liquidity Event Distribution Preference Amount). It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the holders of Class A-1 Units shall participate with respect to their Class A-1 Units in any Distributions paid to the Holders of other classes of Units pursuant to this Section 4.3 following the required payment of the Class A-1 Non-Liquidity Event Distribution Preference Amount, provided that such Holders of Class A-1 Units shall only participate in such Distribution to the extent such Distributions exceed the Class A-1 Non-Liquidity Event Distribution Preference Amount.
Section 4.4 Liquidity Event Distributions. Upon a Liquidity Event, a Liquidity Event Distribution shall be made to the Holders in accordance with the proportions set forth in Section 4.2 and subject to the Schedule of Class Portions (including the Preference Amount and Preference Scenario defined therein).
Section 4.5 Dissolution Distributions. All Distributions to Holders in connection with the Dissolution of Holdings LLC shall be made as provided in Section 10.2 and subject to the Schedule of Class Portions (including the Preference Amount and Preference Scenario defined therein). A Dissolution of Holdings LLC taken in connection with a Liquidity Event shall be deemed a Liquidity Event hereunder.
ARTICLE V
DISSOCIATION OF MEMBERS AND REPURCHASES
Section 5.1 Effect of Dissociation. No Member who is the subject of a Dissociation (a Dissociated Member), whether or not such Dissociation was a Voluntary Dissociation or an Involuntary Dissociation, shall have a right to require the repurchase of such Members Units. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, immediately upon the occurrence of a Dissociation of a Member, to the extent that such Members Units are not repurchased, the Dissociated Member or, as applicable, the successor-in-interest of such Dissociated Member, shall not become or be deemed to be a Member and shall instead be a Holder with respect to such Units (provided, however, such successor may become a Member if the procedures of Section 9.1(f) are followed and the conditions therein are satisfied), and neither
-23-
the Dissociated Member nor the successor Holder shall be entitled vote on any matter before the Members unless and until admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 9.1(f). For the purposes of calculating any vote of the Members, any Units held by a Dissociated Member (or such Dissociated Members successor) shall be excluded from such determination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as such Dissociated Member (or its successor), continues to be a Holder with respect to any Unit, such Person shall continue to be bound by the terms and restrictions of this Agreement.
Section 5.2 Investor Repurchase Rights. From and after January 4, 2018, at the request from time to time of (a) the Class A Majority, or (b) the Holders of Class B Preferred and/or Class C Preferred representing a majority of the aggregate Universal Percentages represented by such classes and series of Units (a BC Preferred Majority), Holdings LLC (i) shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of such class(es) or series of Units of the opportunity to join such request (which notice shall in any event be given no later than thirty (30) days after the request for such repurchase) and (ii) shall repurchase (x) the outstanding Class A Units held by Holders requesting redemption, in the case of a request of Class A Majority (the Class A Repurchase Right), (y) the outstanding Class B Preferred and/or Class C Preferred held by Holders requesting redemption, in the case of a request of the BC Preferred Majority (the BC Repurchase Right), in each case at a repurchase price equal to the Repurchase Value thereof. Upon receipt of such request, Holdings LLC shall within ninety (90) days engage an investment bank reasonably satisfactory to the Class A Majority or the BC Preferred Majority, as applicable (including all classes for which a repurchase right is exercised under this Section 5.2) to advise Holdings LLC with respect to a recapitalization, financing, or similar transaction, or, in the event of exercise of both the Class A Repurchase Right and the BC Repurchase Right, a Sale of Holdings LLC, sufficient to fund the repurchase of all such Units at the Repurchase Value; provided, that, if the Class A Repurchase Right is exercised but the BC Repurchase Right is not exercised, then Members holding Class B Preferred and/or Class C Preferred may elect, by delivery of written notice to Holdings LLC and the Holders of Class A Units within sixty (60) days after the exercise of the Class A Repurchase Right, for the Class B Preferred and/or Class C Preferred held thereby to be redeemed in connection with the redemption of the Class A Units in such recapitalization, financing, or similar transaction. Holdings LLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such a recapitalization and repurchase within one hundred eighty (180) days of engaging such investment banker, and in any event Holdings LLC shall consummate the repurchase of the Units requested for repurchase at a repurchase price equal to the Repurchase Value thereof in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds within one year after the exercise of the Class A Repurchase Right and/or BC Repurchase Right, as applicable; provided, that, if the funds of Holdings LLC and its Subsidiaries legally available for repurchase in accordance with the Class A Repurchase Right and/or BC Repurchase Right, as applicable, then (without limiting Holdings LLCs obligation hereunder or curing any failure not to fully repurchase) those funds which are legally available shall be paid to the Holders of Units to be redeemed (and such Units shall be redeemed) in allocations and priorities in accordance with Section 4.2, as if such redemptions were payments of Distributions hereunder, and at any time thereafter when additional funds of Holdings LLC and its Subsidiaries are legally available for repurchases in accordance with the Class A Repurchase Right and/or BC Repurchase Right, as applicable, such funds shall be paid to the Holders of the remaining Units to be redeemed (and such Units shall be redeemed) pursuant to the same allocations and priorities.
-24-
Section 5.3 Repurchases of Incentive Units upon Certain Events. If any Holder of Incentive Units (a Subject Incentive Holder) ceases to provide services (as an officer, employee, manager, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise) to Holdings LLC and its Subsidiaries, then all Unvested Incentive Units held thereby shall immediately upon such termination be deemed forfeit, automatically and without any consideration or action on the part of any Person, and the Vested Incentive Units held thereby (the Subject Incentive Interests) held by such Subject Incentive Holder may be repurchased or forfeited as set forth in this Section 5.3.
(a) Incentive Repurchase Price. If such termination of services occurs in connection with a Cause termination or removal or a Resignation (other than a Resignation For Good Reason), then all Subject Incentive Interests shall be subject to repurchase at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) the initial consideration (if any) for the Vested Incentive Units which was delivered to Holdings LLC by such Subject Incentive Holder pursuant to the applicable Incentive Agreement(s) and (ii) the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Vested Incentive Units. In the event of any other termination of services (including, for the avoidance of doubt, due to the death or Disability or upon a Retirement or a Resignation For Good Reason), all Subject Incentive Interests shall be subject to repurchase at a purchase price equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Incentive Units as of the date of repurchase.
(b) Incentive Repurchase Election. Upon a determination of the Board, Holdings LLC shall exercise its repurchase rights with respect to Subject Incentive Interests by delivering notice of such repurchase election to the Subject Incentive Holder within 12 months of such termination of services (or, if such repurchase is prohibited under the terms of indebtedness of Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries during such 12-month period, within one month of the end of such restriction for so long as Holdings LLC has used commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of such prohibition), and, upon delivery of such notice to the Subject Incentive Holder, the Subject Incentive Holder (and all Permitted Transferees thereof) shall be obligated to execute and deliver a customary equityholder release and repurchase agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Board) and sell to Holdings LLC all Subject Incentive Interests held thereby, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, at a repurchase price determined in accordance with Section 5.3(a).
(c) Incentive Repurchase Closing. A closing of the purchase of Subject Incentive Interests pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall occur on a date not later than 60 days after Holdings LLC delivers the relevant notice of election pursuant to Section 5.3(b). Upon the closing, each holders of the Subject Incentive Interests shall deliver the documentation contemplated by Section 5.3(b), and Holdings LLC shall deliver to the Subject Incentive Holder (for itself and on
-25-
behalf of any other holders of the Subject Incentive Interests) cash in an amount equal to the repurchase price determined in accordance with Section 5.3(a). A repurchase closing shall be deemed consummated if Holdings LLC makes available the consideration payable therefor at its principal place of business, notwithstanding any failure of the holders of the Subject Incentive Interests to deliver the documentation contemplated by Section 5.3(b), but no such closing shall relieve such holders of the obligation to deliver such documentation in accordance with this Section 5.3.
Section 5.4 Other Repurchases. Except as set forth in Section 5.2 and subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, Units (other than Incentive Units) held by Holders shall not be subject to redemption, repurchase or forfeiture, except as otherwise approved by the unanimous determination of the Board and prior written consent of such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, Holdings LLC may, and may permit any of Holdings LLCs Subsidiaries to, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire or cancel any Units pursuant to an agreement with the Holder of such Units that has been approved by the unanimous determination of the Board; provided that, except for repurchases pursuant to Section 5.2 or Section 9.2, participation in any such purchase or acquisition of Units by Holdings LLC shall be offered to all Members on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the aggregate Universal Percentage of Units held thereby).
Section 5.5 Forfeiture of Incentive Units. Without limiting Section 3.4(b), Incentive Units may be subject to vesting, forfeiture and/or repurchase as set forth in any applicable Incentive Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise set forth in any applicable Incentive Agreement, and unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of a Liquidity Event, any Incentive Units (whether held by the original Holder thereof or one or more of such Holders Transferees, other than Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries or Transferees acquiring such Units pursuant to Section 9.3) that are subject to vesting pursuant to any Incentive Agreement but which at the time of a such Liquidity Event remain unvested shall automatically (without any action by the Holder or any of the Holders Transferees) be forfeited to Holdings LLC and deemed canceled.
Section 5.6 Legacy Options. Options to purchase Series B4 Units and options to purchase Series C3 Units issued pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Contribution Agreement (Legacy Options) shall not be deemed to be Incentive Units for the purposes of this Agreement. Vesting and repurchase rights relating to such Legacy Options shall be governed by the terms of the option plan and grants relating to them.

Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event. The resignation or removal of a Manager who is also a Member shall not affect such Managers rights as a Member and shall not constitute a withdrawal of a Member.

At any meeting, any member of the Board may participate by telephone or similar communication equipment, provided each Manager can hear the other Managers participating. Persons present by telephone or similar communication equipment shall be deemed to be present in person for purposes hereof. The presence of members of the Board entitled to cast a majority of the votes (as detailed below) held by all members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

In addition to all other proper methods of delivery, delivery of any such consent may be made by the methods described in Section 11.11.
(i) Committees. The Board shall at all times maintain an audit committee (the Audit Committee) and a compensation committee (the Compensation Committee), each of which shall consist of three or more members, one of whom shall be a Manager elected pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(ii), one of whom shall be a Manager elected pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(v), and the remainder of whom shall be a Manager determined by the Board. The Audit Committee shall be directly responsible for, among other things, the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of any registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for Holdings LLC and other
-29-
functions typically performed by a public company audit committee. The Compensation Committee shall be directly responsible for, among other things, the approval of (i) any agreement, transaction, commitment or arrangement with any of Holdings LLCs or any of its Subsidiaries officers, directors (excluding members of the Compensation Committee), executive or managerial employees, members, stockholders or Affiliates or with any individual related by blood, marriage or adoption to any such individual or with any entity in which any such Person or individual owns a beneficial interest, (ii) any increase in compensation or initial compensation (upon a new hiring) (including salary, bonuses and other forms of current and deferred compensation) payable to any executive officer, senior manager, Manager or director of Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) the establishment of any new bonus plan or similar arrangement, and (iv) the establishment and administration of any equity incentive plan for Incentive Units to be granted to employees, officers, managers, consultants or other service providers of Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement.

Meetings of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and any other committee of the Board may be called by or at the request of any member of such committee. The Person or Persons calling a meeting of the committee may fix any place within the United States as the place for holding such special meeting of the committee. Written notice of any meeting of the committee shall be given at least five business days before the meeting.
(j) Observers. In addition to election and designation rights set forth in Section 6.1(a), the Class A Majority, Class B Majority, Class C Majority and Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P. so long at it or its Affiliates own at least fifty percent (50%) of Class A-1 Units purchased by it pursuant to the March 2015 Class A-1 Unit Purchase Agreement shall each separately be entitled to appoint one representative (each, an Observer) to attend all meetings of the Board, any Sub-Board or any committee of the Board or any Sub-Board in a nonvoting observer capacity. Each Observer shall have the right to receive notice of all such meetings and copies of all minutes and papers provided to the members of such boards at the same time such documents are provided to the Managers or members of the Board or directors of any Sub-Board; provided, however, that the Observer agrees to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided to it or learned by it in connection with its rights hereunder, except to the extent otherwise required by law and any other regulatory process to which such Observer or its Affiliates are subject; provided, further, that the Holdings LLC reserves the right to withhold any information or to exclude any Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if, in the opinion of counsel to
-30-
Holdings LLC, access to such information or attendance at such meeting would compromise the attorney-client privilege between the Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries and their respective counsel.
(k) Duties of Managers Generally. Subject to Section 7.1, the Managers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to Holdings LLC and the Members fiduciary duties of the type owed by the directors of a corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Managers need not devote their full time and attention to Holdings LLCs business and affairs but shall devote such time as the Managers deem necessary to fulfill the management responsibilities of a Manager. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other agreements: (i) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights of any Member or Manager, or any Affiliate of any Member or Manager, to conduct any other business or activity whatsoever, and (ii) a Member or Manager shall not be accountable to Holdings LLC or to any other Member or Manager with respect to such other business or activity. Each Member understands and acknowledges that the conduct of Holdings LLCs business may involve business dealings and undertakings with Members, the Managers and their Affiliates. In any such event, those dealings and undertakings shall be at arms-length and on commercially reasonable terms, and neither the Members, the Managers nor any Officer shall use their office to obtain favorable treatment for or on behalf of themselves, their Affiliates or others that would not otherwise be received in an arms-length transaction. Any such dealings or undertakings shall be conclusively deemed to be at arms-length and on commercially reasonable terms if either (x) approved by a majority of disinterested Managers or (y) approved by a majority in voting power held by the disinterested Members; provided, however, that, neither of the approvals specified in clause (x) or clause (y) of this Section 6.1(k) shall be required for a dealing or undertaking to be at arms-length or commercially reasonable, or both, and all transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement and Contribution Agreement and the Class A-1 Unit Purchase Agreements shall be deemed so approved for all purposed under this Agreement. A party shall be deemed for the purposes of this Section 6.1(k) to be disinterested if he or it, and his or its Affiliates or family members have no financial interest in a dealing or undertaking (excluding any financial interest inherent in such partys ownership of Units before the consummation of such dealing or undertaking, and excluding any immaterial or de minimis financial interest).
Section 6.2 Officers.
(a) Designation and Appointment. The Board may appoint one or more Officers and may delegate to such Officers such responsibilities for the management of the business and affairs of Holdings LLC as the Board shall determine, with titles including chief executive officer, chairman, president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, chief financial officer and chief technical officer, as and to the extent authorized by the Board. Any number of
-31-
offices may be held by the same Person. Officers need not be Members or residents of the State of Delaware. Officers other than the chief executive officer will report in the ordinary course to the chief executive officer. The Board may assign titles to particular Officers. The Board, in its discretion, may choose not to fill any office for any period as it may deem advisable. Each Officer shall hold office until such Officers successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until such Officers death or Disability or until such Officer shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. The salaries and other compensation, if any, of the Officers shall be fixed from time to time by the Board, if required under Section 6.5, or otherwise by the Compensation Committee. Such Officers shall have the responsibility and authority to implement the decisions of the Board and to make decisions specially delegated to them by the Board. The Officers shall be subject to the direction of the Board at all times. Subject to limitations expressly set forth in Section 6.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Officers shall have the power and the authority to: (i) acquire, sell or otherwise trade in debt or equity securities, futures, options and other financial instruments in the ordinary course of business; (ii) incur indebtedness in the name and on behalf of Holdings LLC in the ordinary course of Holdings LLCs business subject to preexisting guidelines and limitations as may have been established by the Board; (iii) collect all income earned and pay all operating expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the business of Holdings LLC; (iv) negotiate the terms and conditions of and execute all agreements, arrangements, documents and instruments necessary or helpful in conducting the business of Holdings LLC, including trades and contracts with third parties; (v) maintain the books and records of Holdings LLC, (vi) hire and fire employees of Holdings LLC; and (vii) carry out all things otherwise ordinary, necessary and incident to the ordinary course operations of Holdings LLC.
(b) Resignation/Removal. Any Officer may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Board. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. The Board may remove any officer for any reason at any time, with or without Cause; provided that, any removal of a Person as an Officer shall in and of itself have no effect on the rights of such individual as a Member or a Manager. Designation of an Officer shall not of itself create any contractual or employment rights.
(c) Duties of Officers Generally. The Officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to Holdings LLC and the Members duties of loyalty and due care of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation and its equity holders under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Section 6.3 Limitation on Authority of Members. No Member is an agent of Holdings LLC solely by virtue of being a Member, and no Member has authority to act for Holdings LLC solely by virtue of being a Member. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.3
-32-
supersedes any authority granted to the Members pursuant to the Delaware Act. Any Member who takes any action or binds Holdings LLC in violation of this Section 6.3 shall be solely responsible for any loss and expense incurred by Holdings LLC as a result of the unauthorized action and shall indemnify and hold Holdings LLC harmless with respect to the loss or expense.
Section 6.4 Meetings of and Voting by Members.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Person shall be entitled to vote with respect to any Units unless such Person is a Member, or the authorized proxy of a Member or an authorized representative of a Member that is not a natural Person.
(b) A meeting of the Members or any group of Members may be called at any time by the Board, by the Class A Majority (in the case of a meeting of all Members or of Members holding Class A Units), by the Class B Majority (in the case of a meeting of all Members or Members holding Class B Units) or by the Class C Majority (in the case of a meeting of all Members or Members holding Class C Units). Meetings of Members shall be held at any place designated by the Board. Not less than ten nor more than 90 days before each meeting, the Board shall give written notice of the meeting to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting. The notice shall state the time, place and purpose of the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, each Member who is entitled to notice waives notice if before or after the meeting the Member signs a waiver of the notice which is filed with the records of Members meetings, or is present at the meeting in person or by proxy. Unless this Agreement provides otherwise or unless otherwise required by the Delaware Act or the Certificate, at a meeting of Members, the presence in person or by proxy of Members constituting the Universal Majority shall constitute a quorum, and the vote of the Members representing a majority of the voting power entitled to vote on a matter held by all Members shall be an act of the Members with respect to such matter; provided, however, that, with respect to any matter for which a majority vote of any specific class or series of Units is required, the vote of the Members representing a majority of the voting power attributed to such class or series of Units of the Members present (in person or by proxy) shall be an act of such series or class of Members with respect to such matter. A Member entitled to vote may vote either in person or by written proxy signed by the Member or by his, her or its duly authorized attorney in fact. At any meeting, any Member may participate by telephone or similar communications equipment, provided that each Member can hear the other Members participating. Persons present by telephone or similar communication equipment shall be deemed to present in person for purposes hereof. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Withdrawal of any Member from a meeting shall not cause failure of a duly constituted quorum at that meeting.
-33-
(c) Except for Incentive Units (which shall not entitle the Holder thereof to any vote), each Member shall have the right to a number of votes for each Unit held by such Member, equal to the product of (i) 100, multiplied by (ii) the Universal Percentage of such Unit, on each matter submitted to a vote by the Members.
(d) In lieu of holding a meeting, the Members entitled to vote may vote or otherwise take action by written consent signed by Members holding at least the Universal Percentage (including, if applicable, the Universal Percentage with respect to a class or series of Units or any other percentage of a group of Units held by a specified group of Members) that would be required to approve such action if submitted to a vote at a meeting of Members entitled to vote.

In performing his or her duties, each Manager shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements) of the following other Persons or groups: (a) one or more Officers or employees of Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of Holdings LLC, any of its Subsidiaries or the Board or (c) any other Person who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of Holdings LLC, any of its Subsidiaries or the Board, in each case as to matters which such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Persons competence; provided that, nothing in this Article VII shall in any way limit any Persons right to rely on information to the extent provided in the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in each case in which a Manager has approval rights hereunder or under any other agreement by which Holdings LLC is bound and the Board is voting upon a matter (including any matter involving a transaction, agreement or event with respect to which any class or series of Units has an approval right), such Manager shall be entitled to exercise any such approval rights and vote with respect to such matter in his or her sole discretion (including based on the best interests of the Members entitled to elect such Manager pursuant to Section 6.1(a), whether or not in the best interests of Holdings LLC or the Members as a whole) and no Manager shall be liable to Holdings LLC or to any Member for an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the exercise of any such rights.

-40-
in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such Person, or a Person of which such Person is the legal representative, is or was a Member, Manager or Officer (or serves or served as a member of the board or an officer of a Subsidiary of Holdings LLC or other entity at the request of Holdings LLC) shall be indemnified in respect thereof (other than in respect of claims by Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries thereof against an Officer of Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries thereof in such Officers capacity as such) by Holdings LLC to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits Holdings LLC to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted Holdings LLC to provide prior to such amendment) against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys and experts fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation (each an Indemnifiable Loss), if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner the Person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of Holdings LLC or acted as permitted by Section 7.1 hereof and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful, in any such case unless such indemnification would be prohibited by the laws of the State of Delaware if Holdings LLC were a corporation or such Indemnifiable Loss shall have been the result of a breach by such Person of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements, in which case such indemnification shall not cover such Indemnifiable Loss to the extent resulting from such breach. Indemnification under this Article VII shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder.

Section 7.4 Indemnification of Employees and Agents.

Section 7.7 Insurance. Holdings LLC may obtain and maintain, at its expense, insurance to protect itself and any Member, Manager, Officer or agent of Holdings LLC who is or was serving at the request of Holdings LLC as a manager, representative, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not Holdings LLC would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under this Article VII, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain insurance the Board determines sufficient, to provide protection, of the type usually afforded to corporate boards of directors under directors and officers insurance policies, for its Board against expenses, liabilities or losses.

If and to the extent a Members Capital Contribution shall be fully paid, Holdings LLC may not make additional calls for Capital Contributions from such Member without such Members consent, Member shall not, except as required by the express provisions of the Delaware Act regarding repayment of sums wrongfully distributed to Members, be required to make any further contributions. Each Members liability as a Member, Manager or Officer shall be limited as set forth in this Agreement and to the greatest extent permitted under
-42-
the Delaware Act and other applicable law. The failure of Holdings LLC to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members or Managers for liabilities of Holdings LLC.
Section 7.10 Personal Services. No Member shall be required to perform services for Holdings LLC solely by virtue of being a Member. Unless approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee, no Member shall perform services for Holdings LLC, be entitled to compensation for services performed for Holdings LLC, or be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the activities of Holdings LLC.

(ii) Notwithstanding clause (A) of Section 9.1(a)(i), no Holder shall, other than with the approval of the Board or in an Approved Sale, Transfer Units or Unit
-43-
Equivalents to any Person whose activities are competitive with one or more lines of business or operations of Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries (as determined by the Board in good faith), or any Affiliate of any such Person (each a Competitor).
(iii) Notwithstanding clause (A) of Section 9.1(a)(i), (A) each Holder that completes a Transfer of Units (or Unit Equivalents) to a Permitted Transferee (other than to a Permitted Transferee under clause (iii) of the definition thereof) shall retain all voting control over any Units that are the subject of such Transfer and (B) any event involving such transferor Subject Holder which would have triggered obligations of the transferor (including, to the extent applicable, obligations with respect to repurchase, redemption or forfeiture or the loss of certain rights, e.g. under Section 5.1, Section 5.3, Section 9.2 or Section 9.3), shall be deemed to have the same effect upon the Units held by the Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Notwithstanding clause (A) of Section 9.1(a)(i), no Holder may Transfer to any Permitted Transferee any interest in a Unit (e.g., a Unit Equivalent) without a Transfer Approval.
(v) If following a Transfer by a Subject Holder to a Permitted Transferee, there occurs, as applicable, either (A) an amendment of any Permitted Transferee governing document, trust or exercise of a power of appointment under any Permitted Transferee trust in such a manner that the transferee would no long qualify as a Permitted Transferee of such Subject Holder or (B) the direct or indirect admission of new owners to a Permitted Transferee corporation, limited liability company or other estate-planning entity or the admission or replacement of a general partner of a Permitted Transferee partnership Holder, then in each case such amendment or admission shall be deemed a Transfer, subject to the restrictions herein.
(b) Permitted Transfers are not Waivers or Amendments. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the rights or obligations of Holdings LLC, any of its Subsidiaries, any Executive Member, any Manager or any of their Affiliates pursuant to any Incentive Agreement, including provisions thereof regarding the purchase, sale or Transfer of Units or Unit Equivalents, and the terms of such Incentive Agreement shall govern in the event of any inconsistency herewith.
(c) Effect on Voting Rights. Except for voting rights required to be retained by Holders upon Transfer to a Permitted Transferee under Section 9.1(a)(iii), a Transfer by a Holder shall eliminate such Holders power and right to vote or consent (in proportion to the extent of the interest Transferred) on any matter submitted to the Members or any group of Members with respect to Transferred Units. A Transfer shall not otherwise eliminate the Members entitlement to any rights associated with the Members remaining Units and shall not cause the Member to be released from any liability to Holdings LLC solely as a result of the Transfer.
-44-
(d) Transfer Documentation. A Transfer shall be valid hereunder only if the transferring Member (the Assignor) and the recipient (the Assignee) each execute and deliver to Holdings LLC such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Board to confirm the agreement of the Assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which shall include at least an assignment from the Assignor to the Assignee describing the Units proposed for Transfer and (in the case of an Assignee that is not already a Member) a joinder to this Agreement (including an acknowledgement that the Assignee shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Assignor (including, as applicable, all obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX)).
(e) Effect on Holdings LLC; Rights and Obligations of Assignee. A Transfer by a Member or other Person shall not itself dissolve Holdings LLC or entitle the Assignee to become a Member or exercise any rights of a Member. An Assignee pursuant to a Transfer that is not admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 9.1(f) shall not be entitled to vote until admission as Member pursuant to Section 9.1(f) but shall nevertheless be subject to all of the obligations of the Assignor as if Assignee held all rights and obligations of the Units Transferred as a Member. If the Assignee later becomes a Member, the voting rights associated with the Units held by the Assignee shall be restored and be held by such new Member.
(f) Admission of Assignee as a Member. Any Assignee to whom Units are Transferred in accordance with this Section 9.1 shall, only upon the satisfaction of the conditions set out in Section 9.1(f)(i) and Section 9.1(f)(ii) (to the extent applicable) and Section 9.7, be admitted as a Member and succeed to the rights and obligations of Assignor with respect to the Units so Transferred. An Assignee not previously a Member shall become a Member hereunder by reason of a Transfer only upon:
(i) the prior written approval of the Board (except that such approval shall not be required in the case of any Transfer of Class A Units or Units held by any Institutional Investors or Transfer to a Permitted Transferee), which shall not be unreasonably withheld and
(ii) satisfaction of all of the following conditions, upon which consent and satisfaction the Assignee shall have, to the extent assigned, the rights and powers, and be subject to the restrictions and liabilities, of a Member under the Delaware Act and this Agreement, shall be liable for any obligations of the Assignor to make future capital contributions in respect of the Transferred Units but shall not be obligated for other liabilities reasonably unknown to the Assignee at the time the Assignee becomes a Member:
(A) | the Assignee becomes a party to this Agreement as a Member by executing a counterpart signature page as a joinder to this Agreement and executing such documents and instruments as the Board may reasonably request pursuant to Section 9.1(d); |
-45-
(B) | the Assignee pays or reimburses Holdings LLC for all reasonable legal, filing and publication costs that Holdings LLC incurs in connection with the admission of the Assignee as a Member; and |
(C) | if the Assignee is not a natural Person of legal majority, the Assignee provides Holdings LLC with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Board of the authority of the Assignee to become a Member and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
(g) Effect of Admission of Member on Assignor and Holdings LLC. Upon the admission of an Assignee as a Member, the Assignor shall cease to be a Member with respect to the Units Transferred. In any such case, the admission of the Assignee as a Member shall constitute the requisite consent of the Members to continue the business of Holdings LLC notwithstanding that such admission will cause the termination of the membership of the Assignor with respect to the Units Transferred.
Section 9.2 Right of First Offer.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article IX, at least 30 days prior to any proposed Transfer of any Units, Unit Equivalents (if permitted by their terms) or other equity securities (or interests therein) of Holdings LLC (Subject Securities) held by any Holder (excluding Transfers in a Public Sale or pursuant to Section 5.2 or Transfers to a Permitted Transferee), the transferring Holder (the Transferring Holder) shall deliver a written notice (the Offer Notice) to Holdings LLC and each Major Member. The Offer Notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s) (if known), the number and type of Subject Securities to be transferred, the price and the other terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. The Transferring Holder shall not consummate such proposed Transfer until at least 30 days after the delivery of the Offer Notice, unless the parties to the Transfer have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 9.2 and (if applicable) Section 9.3 prior to the expiration of such 30-day period (the date of the first to occur of (x) the expiration of such 30-day period after delivery of the Offer Notice or (y) such final determination is referred to herein as the Authorization Date).
(b) Holdings LLC may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Subject Securities to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Offer Notice by delivering a written notice of such election to the Transferring Holder within 15 days after the Offer Notice has been given to Holdings LLC (the Election Period). Within 15 days following delivery of the
-46-
Offer Notice, Holdings LLC shall deliver written notice (the Available Unit Notice) to each Major Member setting forth the number and type of Subject Securities which it has elected to purchase and the number and type of Subject Securities which are available for purchase by the Major Members (Available Units). Each Major Member shall then be entitled to purchase a portion of the Available Units by delivering written notice (the Available Unit Purchase Notice) to Holdings LLC and the Transferring Holder within 10 days following delivery of the Offer Notice setting forth the maximum number of Subject Securities of each class or series which such Major Member desires to purchase.
(c) Available Units of each class or series shall first be allocated to each such Major Member in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the maximum number specified by each such Major Member in such Major Members Available Unit Purchase Notice and (2) the product of the number of Available Units and such Major Members Universal Percentage. Available Units shall thereafter be allocated to each Major Member who has not been allocated the maximum number specified in such Members Available Purchase Notice (each a Remaining Major Member), each on a pro rata basis (calculated on the basis of a Remaining Major Members Universal Percentage in relation to the aggregate Universal Percentages of all Remaining Major Members); provided, in each case, that no allocation to any Major Member shall be greater than the maximum number specified by each such Major Member in such Major Members Available Unit Purchase Notice. Any Available Units not elected to be purchased by the end of such 10-day period shall during the immediately following five-day period be reoffered by Holdings LLC to the Major Members who have elected to purchase at least their full Universal Percentage of the Available Units and, if any of the Major Members indicates interest within said five-day period in acquiring additional Available Units in an amount in excess of the aggregate amount of Available Units remaining, such remaining Available Units will be allocated among such Major Members, each as allocated on a pro rata basis (calculated on the basis of a Remaining Major Members Universal Percentage in relation to the aggregate Universal Percentages of all Remaining Major Members).
(d) If Holdings LLC and/or any of the Major Members have elected to purchase Subject Securities from the Transferring Holder under this Section 9.2, the Transfer of such Subject Securities shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to the Transferring Holder, but in any event (subject to compliance with Section 9.3, if applicable) within 15 days after the Authorization Date. If Holdings LLC and the Major Members do not elect, in the aggregate, to purchase all of the Subject Securities offered in the Offer Notice from the Transferring Holder, then, subject to compliance with Section 9.3 (if applicable), the Transferring Holder shall have the right, within the 90 days following the Authorization Date, to Transfer such Subject Securities that Holdings LLC and the Major Members have not elected to purchase to the Transferee(s) specified in the Offer Notice in the amounts specified in the Offer Notice at a price not less than the price per Subject Security specified in the Offer
-47-
Notice and on other terms no more favorable in any material respect to the Transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Offer Notice. Any Subject Securities not so Transferred within such 90-day period shall be reoffered to Holdings LLC and the Major Members pursuant to this Section 9.2 prior to any subsequent Transfer.
Section 9.3 Participation Rights.
(a) The Major Members shall be entitled to participate in any Transfer of Subject Securities by a Subject Holder (excluding Transfers in a Public Sale, Management Exempt Transfers or Transfers to a Permitted Transferee, but including Transfers pursuant to Section 9.2 (other than Management Exempt Transfers pursuant thereto)). Upon determination of the number of Subject Securities offered in an Offer Notice that Holdings LLC and the Major Members (excluding such Subject Holder) do not elect, in the aggregate, to purchase (but in any event promptly after the offer period for Major Members described in Section 9.2 expires, and within 45 days after delivery of the Offer Notice), such Subject Holder shall give written notice to each Major Member describing in reasonable detail the number of Subject Securities subject to the Transfer (the Sale Units), the price and other terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer, and the identity of the prospective transferee(s) (such notice, the Sale Notice). Each of the Major Members (other than the Subject Holder) shall be entitled, within 15 days following delivery of the Sale Notice, to give written notice (a Tag-Along Notice) to the Subject Holder and Holdings LLC that such Major Member desires to participate in such proposed Transfer upon the price, terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, which Tag-Along Notice shall specify the Units such Major Member desires to include in such proposed Transfer. Such participation shall be allocated among each Major Member that delivers a Tag-Along Notice (each a Participating Major Member) on a pro rata basis (calculated on the basis of each Participating Major Members Pro Rata Share relative to the aggregate Pro Rata Share of the Subject Holder and all Participating Major Members, in each case determined with respect to the Total Equity Value implied by the price offered in such proposed Transfer); provided, that in no event shall any Participating Major Member be allocated a greater number of Units than requested in such Participating Major Members Tag-Along Notice. The aggregate consideration to be paid to Participating Major Members in connection with the Transfer shall be allocated among each Unit on a pro rata basis (calculated on the basis of each Units Pro Rata Share relative to the Pro Rata Share of all Units to be included in such Transfer by Participating Major Members and the Subject Holder, in each case determined with respect to the Total Equity Value implied by the price offered in such proposed Transfer). If a Participating Major Member does not own Units of the same class or series as the Sale Units, such Participating Major Member will substitute in such Transfer the Units of the class or series held thereby that are closest in value to the Sale Units as measured by a Units Pro Rata Share.
-48-
(b) With respect to any Transfer subject to this Section 9.3, each Subject Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective Transferee(s) to the participation of the Participating Major Members as set forth herein, and no Subject Holder shall Transfer any of its Units to any prospective Transferee if such prospective Transferee(s) declines to allow the participation of the Participating Major Members on the terms provided herein, unless in connection with such Transfer, one or more of the Subject Holders or their respective Affiliates purchase (on the same terms and conditions on which such Units were to be sold to the Transferee(s)) the number and class of Units from each Participating Major Member which such Participating Major Member would have been entitled to sell pursuant to Section 9.3(a). Each Participating Major Member shall pay on a pro rata basis (as if such expenses reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the Subject Holders and Participating Major Members in such Transfer) the expenses incurred by the Subject Holder(s) in connection with such Transfer and shall be obligated to join (individually and not jointly and severally) in any indemnification or other obligations that the Subject Holder agrees to provide in connection with such Transfer; provided that unless a prospective Transferee permits a Participating Major Member to give a guarantee, letter of credit or other mechanism (which shall be dealt with on an individual basis), any escrow of proceeds of any such transaction shall be withheld in accordance the consideration to be received by each Participating Major Member and Subject Holder participating in the Transfer.
(c) To the extent the Major Members have not elected to participate in the contemplated Transfer (through notice to such effect or expiration of the 15-day period after delivery of the Sale Notice), then the Subject Holder may Transfer the Units specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable in any material respect to the Transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 90-day period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any Units held by a Subject Holder not Transferred within such 90-day period shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3 upon subsequent Transfer.
(d) The provisions of Section 9.2 and this Section 9.3 shall terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.
Section 9.4 Change in Business Form. With or without a vote or consent of the Members, the Board may, upon any Initial Public Offering, and the Board shall, upon a Qualified Public Offering, elect to cause Holdings LLC to reorganize as a Delaware corporation (the Successor) in accordance with this Section 9.4 in anticipation of registration of the common stock of such Successor. The method of effecting such reorganization, whether by conversion to or merger with and into a corporate Subsidiary of Holdings LLC or otherwise, shall (subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 9.4) be determined by the Board in its discretion; provided that Holdings LLC shall to the extent feasible under the circumstances effect any such reorganization in a manner which avoids creation of a taxable income for Holdings LLC, its Subsidiaries or any Member (including effecting the transactions described in Section 9.4(a)).
-49-
(a) Each of the Members hereby agrees to take such actions as are reasonably required to effect such reorganization as shall be determined by the Board and irrevocably authorizes and appoints each of the Managers who are in office at such time as such Members representative and true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to act in such Members name, place and stead as contemplated in this Section 9.4 and to execute in the name and on behalf of such Member any agreement, certificate, instrument or document to be delivered by the Members in connection with any such reorganization as determined by the Board (but with such power of attorney to be exercised only in the event of the failure of such Member to comply with this Section 9.4). In connection with any such reorganization, each of the transactions described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 9.4(a) shall be consummated as provided below and deemed to have occurred simultaneously:
(i) The Successor shall be organized as a Delaware corporation, with customary charter and by-laws, each reasonably acceptable to the Board and the Universal Majority;
(ii) Each Unit shall (effective upon and subject to the consummation of such Initial Public Offering) convert into shares of common stock of the Successor (the Successor Stock), and the shares of Successor Stock shall be allocated among the Holders in exchange for their respective Units such that each Holder shall receive a number of shares of Successor Stock equal to the quotient (the Quotient) of (A) the amount such Holder would have received in respect of such Holders Units in a Liquidity Event at the time of the Initial Public Offering assuming a Total Equity Value implied by the Price-to-Public, in accordance with Section 4.4, divided by (B) the price per share at which the common stock is being offered to the public in the Initial Public Offering, in each case net of underwriting discounts and commissions (the Price-to-Public);
(iii) The Successor shall expressly acknowledge and, as applicable, assume the obligations and liabilities of Holdings LLC, including its remaining obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Agreement (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) and all other Transaction Agreements and as otherwise described in clause (ii) of this Section 9.4(a), with such conforming changes as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the corporate status of the Successor, and in connection with such transactions and those described above the Members shall take such action as may be necessary to consolidate Holdings LLC as part of the Successor to the extent such consolidation does not occur by operation of law; and
(iv) The Successor (and Holdings LLC) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings, obtain all approvals and consents and take such other actions as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate to effectuate the reorganization contemplated by this Section 9.4.
(b) The organizational documents of the Successor and/or a stockholders or other agreement, as appropriate, shall provide that the rights and
-50-
obligations of the Members hereunder and under the Transaction Agreements (to the extent such rights and obligations survive consummation of an Initial Public Offering, and including the economic and other rights of each class and series of Units) shall continue to apply in accordance with the terms thereof unless the parties thereto otherwise agree in writing pursuant to the terms thereof.
(c) In the event of an Initial Public Offering, Holdings LLC and each Member shall take all necessary or desirable actions requested by the Board in connection with the consummation of such Initial Public Offering, including consenting to, voting for and waiving any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights with respect to a reorganization of Holdings LLC pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.4 and compliance with the requirements of all laws and regulatory bodies which are applicable or which have jurisdiction over such Initial Public Offering. Holdings LLC shall pay all filing fees necessary to obtain all authorizations and approvals required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder that are required for the consummation of the reorganization contemplated in this Section 9.4.
Section 9.5 Approved Sale.
(a) Subject to Section 6.5(g), if (at any time prior to the consummation of an Initial Public Offering) the Board, together with the Holders of Class A Units, Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units, Series B3 Units, Series C1 Units and/or Series C2 Units representing a majority of the aggregate Universal Percentages represented by such classes and series of Units (a Preferred Majority), approves a Sale of Holdings LLC (an Approved Sale), each Member (and each Person that retains voting control of any Units Transferred to a Permitted Transferee) shall take the following actions:
(i) vote for (whether at a meeting of Members or by written consent), consent to and raise no objections against, and not otherwise impede or delay, such Approved Sale;
(ii) if the Approved Sale is structured as a (i) merger or consolidation, each Member shall waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of capital, Units or other equity securities, each Member shall agree to sell all of such Members capital, Units and other equity securities of Holdings LLC on the terms and conditions approved by the Board; and
(iii) take all necessary or desirable actions (in such Members capacity as a Member of Holdings LLC) in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as reasonably requested by the Board, including executing and delivering any and all agreements, instruments and other documents approved by the Board and the Preferred Majority, including any applicable purchase agreement, stockholders agreement and/or
-51-
indemnification and/or contribution agreement; it being understood that Institutional Investors shall not be obligated to enter into any non-competition or non-solicitation agreements or the like).
(b) The obligations of the Members with respect to the Approved Sale are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) each Member shall receive, upon consummation of the Approved Sale, the same form of consideration and the same amount of consideration that such Member would have received in liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences of such class of Units and Unit Equivalents pursuant to Section 10.2 below; and (ii) if any Holder of a class or series of Units or Unit Equivalents are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each Holder of Units or Unit Equivalents shall be given the same option (it being understood that Excluded Holders and any other Holders as to which a privately-held acquirer does not want to offer its securities may be offered equivalent cash in lieu of unregistered securities). Holdings LLC and the Members acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 9.5(b) shall apply in the case of any Sale of Holdings LLC (whether initiated or classified as an Approved Sale or otherwise).
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Members shall be severally obligated to join on a pro rata basis in any customary indemnification obligations (calculated as if such indemnification obligations reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the Members in such Approved Sale) the Board and the Preferred Majority agreed to in connection with such Approved Sale; provided that no Member shall be obligated to enter into indemnification obligations with respect to matters particular to any other Member or such other Members Units and no Member shall be required to agree to indemnification obligations in excess of the proceeds received by such Member in such Approved Sale (it being understood that, although primary sale documents in an Approved Sale may provide for any indemnity, this proviso may be satisfied by means of indemnification, contribution or unit holder representative agreements among the Members); provided further that any delayed proceeds of any such sale transaction (including royalties and earn-out amounts) and, unless a prospective transferee permits a Member to give a guarantee, letter of credit or other mechanism (which shall be dealt with on an individual basis), any escrow of proceeds of any such transaction shall be allocated and withheld on a pro rata basis among all Members, calculated as if such escrow reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the Members in such Approved Sale (with it being understood that, to the extent the final amount of aggregate proceeds from any such transaction exceed that threshold of proceeds required for a Conversion Scenario (as defined in the Schedule of Class Portions), the Members shall equitably reallocate subsequently available proceeds). Each Member shall pay on a pro rata basis (calculated as if such expenses reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the Members in such Approved Sale) the expenses incurred by Holdings LLC and the Companies pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such
-52-
expenses are incurred for the benefit of all Members (as reasonably determined by the Board). Expenses incurred by any Member on its own behalf (including the fees and disbursements of counsel, advisors and other Persons retained by such Holder in connection with the Approved Sale) will not be considered costs incurred for the benefit of all Members and, to the extent not paid by Holdings LLC or a Company, will be the responsibility of such Member. Each Member shall enter into any escrow, indemnification, contribution or unit holder representative agreement requested by the Board to ensure compliance with this Section 9.5.
(d) If Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), the Excluded Holders shall, at the request of the Board, appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act) designated by Holdings LLC. If any Member so appoints such purchaser representative, Holdings LLC shall pay the fees of such purchaser representative. However, if any Member declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Board, such Member shall appoint another purchaser representative (reasonably acceptable to the Board), and such Member shall be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.
Section 9.6 Transfer of Restricted Securities.
(a) Notwithstanding any other condition to a Transfer set forth in this Agreement, Restricted Securities are Transferable only pursuant to (A) public offerings registered under the Securities Act, (B) Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the SEC (or any similar rule or rules then in force) if such rule is available, and (C) subject to the conditions specified in Section 9.6(b), any other legally available means of Transfer.
(b) In connection with the Transfer of any Restricted Securities (other than a Transfer described in clause (A) or (B) of Section 9.6(a)), the Holder thereof shall deliver written notice to Holdings LLC describing in reasonable detail the Transfer or proposed Transfer, together with (if reasonably requested by Holdings LLC) an opinion of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, Kirkland & Ellis LLP or other counsel which (to Holdings LLCs reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in Securities Act matters to the effect that such Transfer of Restricted Securities may be effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act. In addition, if the Holder of the Restricted Securities delivers to Holdings LLC such a reasonably satisfactory opinion of counsel that no subsequent Transfer of such Restricted Securities shall require registration under the Securities Act, then Holdings LLC shall promptly upon such contemplated Transfer deliver new certificates for such Restricted
-53-
Securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 3.6. If Holdings LLC is not required to deliver new certificates for such Restricted Securities not bearing such legend, the Holder thereof shall not Transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to Holdings LLC in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this Section 9.6 and Section 3.6.
(c) Upon the request of a Holder of Restricted Securities, Holdings LLC shall promptly supply to such Holder or such Holders prospective transferees all information regarding Holdings LLC required to be delivered in connection with a Transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the SEC.
(d) If any Restricted Securities become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k), Holdings LLC shall, upon the request of the Holder of such Restricted Securities, remove the legend set forth in Section 3.6 from the certificates representing such Restricted Securities.
Section 9.7 Required Amendments; Continuation. If and to the extent any Assignee is admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 9.1(f), the Board shall amend the Schedule of Members to reflect the admission of such Assignee as a member and the elimination of the transferor Member (or the corresponding reduction of such Members interest), and (if and to the extent then required under this Agreement or by the Delaware Act) the Board shall amend this Agreement and, if required by statute, cause the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Certificate reflecting such admission and elimination (or reduction) in accordance with the Delaware Act. Holdings LLC shall deliver a copy of an updated Schedule of Members to any Member upon such Members request. The admission of any Assignee as a Member pursuant to this Article IX shall be deemed effective on the effective date of such amendment to the Schedule of Members.
Section 9.8 Resignation. No Member shall have the right to resign or withdraw as a Member without the unanimous prior written consent of the Board, which may be given or withheld in each Managers sole and absolute discretion, and any purported resignation or withdrawal without such prior written consent shall by void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by Holdings LLC or any other party.
Section 9.9 Void Assignment. Any Transfer by any Holder in contravention of this Agreement shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by Holdings LLC or any other Person. In the event of any Transfer in contravention of this Agreement, the purported transferee shall have no right to any profits or losses or Distributions of Holdings LLC or any other rights of a Holder.
Section 9.10 No Avoidance of Provisions. No Holder, other than an Institutional Investor, shall directly or indirectly (i) permit the Transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect equity or beneficial interest in such Holder or (ii) otherwise seek to avoid the provisions of this Agreement by issuing, or permitting the issuance of, any direct or indirect equity or beneficial interest in such Holder, in any such case in a manner which would fail to comply with this Article IX if such Holder had Transferred Units directly.
-54-
Section 9.11 Holdback Agreement. No Holder shall effect any Public Sale of equity securities of Holdings LLC (including any Successor or any other successor-in-interest) (any such entity, as may be applicable, the Public Offering Vehicle) held by such Holder immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering of the Public Offering Vehicle, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, (i) during the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering of the Public Offering Vehicle, except as part of such Initial Public Offering, or (ii) for any Subject Holder, during the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of any subsequent underwritten registered public offering of the Public Offering Vehicle, except as part of any such underwritten registration, unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree in writing (each such 180-day or 90-day period is a Holdback Period); provided, in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 9.11, to the extent that the Investor Members or any other Purchaser of Class A-1 Units pursuant to the Class A-1 Unit Purchase Agreements are not subject to such restrictions, the Institutional Investors shall only be subject to the least restrictive of restrictions applicable to Investor Members or any other Purchaser of Class A-1 Units pursuant to the Class A-1 Unit Purchase Agreements. The Holdback Period shall also be extended for the minimum period of time which is necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering to comply with FINRA Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation. The extension in the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein as the Holdback Extension. The Public Offering Vehicle may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of its common stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction during any Holdback Period and during any period of Holdback Extension. This Section 9.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall apply to any securities of the Successor or any other successor-in-interest of Holdings LLC, as if such successor-in-interest were Holdings LLC.
ARTICLE X
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION
Section 10.1 Dissolution. Holdings LLC shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up only on the first to occur of either:
(a) a unanimous determination of the Board,
(b) the determination of the Universal Majority, or
(c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of Holdings LLC under Section 35-5 of the Delaware Act or an administrative dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.
The Dissociation, death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, incapacity, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member, or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in Holdings LLC, shall not cause a dissolution of Holdings LLC, and Holdings LLC shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
-55-
Section 10.2 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of Holdings LLC, the Board shall act as liquidator (or may appoint one or more Members as liquidator). The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of Holdings LLC and make final distributions as provided in this Section 10.2 and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Holdings LLC expense. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:
(a) As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator(s) shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of Holdings LLCs assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.
(b) The liquidator(s) shall cause any notice required by law or agreement to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against Holdings LLC to be delivered as required.
(c) The liquidator(s) shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Holdings LLC assets all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of Holdings LLC (including all expenses incurred in liquidation and all debts, liabilities and obligations owed by Holdings LLC to Members) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including by the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine).
(d) The balance, if any, of Holdings LLCs remaining assets shall be distributed to the Holders in accordance with Section 4.2.
The liquidator(s) shall cause only cash, evidences of indebtedness and other securities to be distributed in any liquidation. The distribution of cash and/or assets to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be deemed to constitute a complete return to such Member of his, her or its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of his, her or its interest in Holdings LLC and all Holdings LLCs property and constitutes a compromise to which all Holders have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. The distribution of cash and/or assets to a Holder who is not a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall be deemed to constitute a complete distribution to such Holder of its interest in Holdings LLC and all Holdings LLCs property and constitutes a compromise to which all Holders have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Holder returns funds to Holdings LLC, such Holder has no claim against any other Holder for those funds.
Section 10.3 Certificate of Cancellation. On completion of the distribution of Holdings LLC assets as provided in Section 10.2, Holdings LLC shall be deemed terminated for
-56-
all purposes, and the Board shall promptly file (or cause to be filed) a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, take all actions necessary to otherwise cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.1 and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate Holdings LLC.
ARTICLE XI

Section 11.2 Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to demand any Distributions or withdrawal of property from Holdings LLC (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2) or to maintain any action for dissolution of Holdings LLC or for partition of the property of Holdings LLC.
Section 11.3 Excluded Opportunities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Holdings LLC and each of the Holders renounces any interest or expectancy of Holdings or any Holder in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, or in being informed about, any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of, (i) any Manager of Holdings LLC who is not an employee or service provider (other than as a Manager) of Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) any Holder of Class A Units or Institutional Investor, or any Affiliate, partner, member, manager, director, equityholder, employee, agent, representative or other related person of any such Holder, other than someone who is an employee of Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, Covered Persons), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Persons capacity as a manager of Holdings LLC.
Section 11.4 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on behalf of a Holder. If Holdings LLC is obligated to pay any amount to any governmental body or agency (or otherwise makes a payment) because of a Holders status or otherwise specifically attributable to a Holder (including foreign, federal, state or local withholding taxes imposed with respect to any issuance of Units or other interests to a Holder or any payments to a Holder, domestic withholding taxes with respect to foreign Persons, personal property taxes, personal property replacement taxes, unincorporated business taxes, etc.), then such Holder (the Indemnifying Holder) shall indemnify Holdings LLC in full for the entire amount paid (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments), and, at the option of the Board, either:
(a) promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify Holdings LLC, the Indemnifying Holder shall make a cash payment to Holdings LLC equal to the full amount to be indemnified (provided that the amount paid shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution or satisfaction of any indebtedness owed to Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries), or
(b) Holdings LLC shall reduce Distributions that would otherwise be made to the Indemnifying Holder, until Holdings LLC has recovered the amount to be indemnified (provided that the amount of such reduction shall be deemed to have been distributed for all purposes of this Agreement).
-57-
An Indemnifying Holders obligation to indemnify Holdings LLC under this Section 11.4 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of Holdings LLC, and for the purposes of this Section 11.4 Holdings LLC shall be treated as continuing in existence. Holdings LLC may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Indemnifying Holder under this Section 11.4, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnified amount, and shall be entitled to collect interest calculated at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus five percentage points per annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).
Section 11.5 Assurances. Each Holder, at the expense of Holdings LLC, shall execute all such certificates and other documents and shall do all such filing, recording, publishing and other acts as the Board deems reasonably appropriate to comply with the requirements of law for the operation of Holdings LLC and to comply with any laws, rules and regulations relating to the acquisition, operation or holding of the property of Holdings LLC, all pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

The secretary of Holdings LLC shall promptly distribute any such Board notice to each Manager. Any party may designate, by notice to all of the others in accordance with this Section 11.6, substitute addresses or addressees for notices, and, thereafter, notices are to be directed to those substitute addresses or addressees.
Section 11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and other Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Members relating to Holdings LLC and the Companies relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and the governance of Holdings LLC and its Subsidiaries and supersede all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the transactions

contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or the governance of Holdings LLC and its Subsidiaries (including any prior operating agreements or limited liability company agreements of Holdings LLC and any stockholder agreement, voting agreement, investor rights or management agreement, registration agreement, advisory agreement or similar agreement with either of the Companies, all of which are hereby terminated and shall have no further force or effect). For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not supersede any Services Agreement between any Member and Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries.
Section 11.8 Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations hereunder or with respect to Holdings LLC is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person hereunder or with respect to Holdings LLC. A waiver under this Agreement shall be effective only by written instrument executed by the Person(s) waiving rights to which they are entitled hereunder and with express reference specifying the rights and provisions waived. Failure on the part of a Person to expressly complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default hereunder or with respect to Holdings LLC, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute an effective waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.
Section 11.9 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement and any provision hereof may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument adopted by the Board; provided that (a) any amendment or modification adversely affecting rights or obligations of Class A Units hereunder (including any amendment materially and beneficially affecting the rights of any other class of Units or any other Holder or group of Holders, relative to the affect on Holders of Class A Units) shall require the prior written consent of the Class A Majority, (b) any amendment or modification adversely affecting rights or obligations of Class B Units hereunder shall require the prior written consent of the Class B Majority, (c) any amendment or modification adversely affecting rights or obligations of Class C Units hereunder shall require the prior written consent of the Class C Majority, (d) any amendment or modification shall be subject to obtaining the consent required (if any) by Section 6.7 and (e) any amendment or modification of Section 6.7 of this Agreement that adversely affects the rights or obligations of the Class A-1 Units shall require the prior written consent of the Class A-1 Super Majority; provided, that, if any amendment or modification would have a material and adverse effect on the rights or obligations of any individual Member or group of Members in comparison to other Members holding the same class of Units, then such amendment or modification will also require the prior written consent of such adversely affected individual Member or at least a majority in interest of such adversely affected Member(s), as the case may be; provided, further, that, any amendment or modification reducing the required interest for any consent or vote in this Agreement shall be effective only with the consent or vote of Members having the interest theretofore required; provided, however, that no consent or approval of holders of Class B Units, Class C Units or Incentive Units shall be required in connection with the an issuance of Additional Units (other than Class B Units or Class C Units, excepting such Units as are issued upon exercise of Legacy Options) as approved by the Board (regardless of the rights, privileges, priorities and obligations of such Additional Units) and amendments and modifications to this Agreement (including the schedules hereto) related thereto, all to the extent that the issuance of such Additional Units affects all such classes of Units in the same manner and proportion.
-59-
Section 11.10 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon each Member with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement. The Holders further agree that any court of competent jurisdiction is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement, or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the Members as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Holders expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been set forth herein.
Section 11.11 Delivery by Facsimile or Portable Document Form (pdf). This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission in portable document format (PDF), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission in PDF to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
Section 11.12 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns.
Section 11.13 Remedies. Holdings LLC and the Members shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement (including costs of enforcement) and to exercise any and all other rights at law or at equity existing in their favor. The parties recognize that irreparable injury will result from a breach of this Agreement and that money damages will be inadequate to fully remedy such injury (and thus waive as defense that there is an adequate
-60-
remedy at law), and that Holdings LLC or any Member may in his, her or its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation or threatened violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.14 Third Parties. Except as set forth in Article VII, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person or entity, other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 11.15 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any provision of the Certificate or any mandatory provision of the Delaware Act, the applicable provision of the Certificate or the Delaware Act shall control.
Section 11.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.
Section 11.17 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Member irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and (only if federal jurisdiction is not otherwise available) the state courts of the State of Delaware sitting in Kent County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Member further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. certified or registered mail to such Members respective address set forth on the Schedule of Members shall be effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Member irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or (as provided above) the state courts of the State of Delaware sitting in Kent County, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
SECTION 11.18 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT
-61-
HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
Section 11.19 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation; Construction. The headings herein are inserted as a matter of convenience only and are not intended to define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of the provisions hereof. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge or any duty hereunder shall fall upon a Saturday, Sunday, or any date on which banks in New York City are authorized to be closed, the party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day which is a regular business day. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.20 Consent by Certain Holders.
(a) Pursuant to (x) the Contribution Agreement (i) Holdings LLC will grant certain of the Endochoice Shareholders (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) the Endochoice Liquidity Put Options (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) and (ii) Holdings LLC will grant a certain Peer Shareholder (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) the Peer Liquidity Put Option (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) (collectively, the Put Options) and (y) the Letter of Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E by and among Avraham Levy (Levy), Peer Medical Limited, an Israeli company (now known as Endochoice Innovation Center, Ltd.) and Subsidiary of Holdings LLC, and Holdings LLC, subject to the terms and conditions detailed in such Letter of Agreement, Holdings LLC has agreed to permit Levy to sell up to 20% of his Units, in addition to the number of Units that may be sold by him under his Put Option, pursuant to the terms and conditions therein (the Additional Permitted Sale). The Transfer of Units to Holdings LLC under each of the Put Options, if exercised in full, and with respect to Levy, the Additional Permitted Sale, will result in a Transfer by the respective Holder of 10% or more of the Units that he will hold in Holdings LLC immediately after the contribution of Endochoice Shares and Peer Shares contemplated under the Contribution Agreement (the Contribution). Each
-62-
Permitted Sale Holder (as defined below) acknowledges and agrees that such Transfers require the consent of all of the Holders that were Endochoice Shareholders, Peer Shareholders or holders of Legacy Options (the Consenting Legacy Holders) in accordance with Section 103C(9)(a) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, as amended (the Ordinance), in order for each of such Transfers not to infringe the restriction on Transfer under the Israeli Tax Ruling and the Ordinance.
(b) Consent as required by the Israeli Tax Ruling and the Ordinance is hereby granted by all Consenting Legacy Holders with respect to the Transfer by the following individuals (each, a Permitted Sale Holder), in exercise of the respective Put Options and the completion of the Additional Permitted Sale, of the amount of Units stated alongside their names (the Authorized Sale Units), or any lesser amount which constitutes 10% or more of the number of Units that they will hold immediately after the Contribution:
Name of Holder | Number and Class of Units underlying the Put Option | Number and Class of Units underlying the Additional Permitted Sale | ||||
Mark Gilreath | 1,248,940 Series B4 Units | N/A | ||||
Will Parks | 736,874 Series B4 Units | N/A | ||||
Avi Levy | 126,186 Series C3 Units | 164,270 Series C3 Units |
(c) Other than as consented to under Section 11.20(b), each of the Consenting Legacy Holders hereby agrees not to Transfer during the restriction period required under Section 103C(8) of the Ordinance and the Israeli Tax Ruling (the Restriction Period) any of the Units that such Consenting Legacy Holder holds as of immediately after the Contribution, if (i) the number of the Units so Transferred, plus (ii) the ARS (the number determined by the formula set forth below), would represent, in the aggregate, 10% or more of the number of Units that such Consenting Legacy Holder will hold immediately after the Contribution (it being understood that each of the Permitted Sale Holders will not be entitled to Transfer more than the Authorized Sale Units set forth alongside his name in the table appearing in Section 11.20(b)).
ARS = CLP ÷ (ACLP PPO) * (ASL POB)
CLP = Consenting Legacy Holders Universal Percentage as of immediately after the Contribution;
ACLP = Aggregate Consenting Legacy Holders Universal Percentage as of immediately after the Contribution;
PPO = Aggregate Universal Percentage of the Permitted Sale Holders as of immediately after the Contribution;
-63-
ASL = The aggregate number of Authorized Sale Units;
POB = the aggregate number of Units which constitute 10% of the number of Units that the Permitted Sale Holders will hold as of immediately after the Contribution.
(d) For the purposes of this Section 11.20, when determining the Universal Percentage of each Consenting Legacy Holder, the calculation of Proportionate Share shall also include all Legacy Options that shall have been exercised as of the date of the Transfer by the Consenting Legacy Holder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but without derogation from the right of the Consenting Legacy Holders to Transfer Units addressed under Section 11.20(b), in no event shall any Consenting Legacy Holder be entitled to Transfer such number of Units which would result in (1) the Transfer by such Consenting Legacy Holder during the Restriction Period of Units and Units received in exercise of Legacy Options, which constitute 10% or more of its Universal Percentage, that such Holder held immediately after the Contribution or (2) the Transfer by all Consenting Legacy Holders during the Restriction Period of Units and Units received in exercise of Legacy Options, which constitute 10% or more of their aggregate Universal Percentage, that they held in the aggregate immediately after the Contribution.
(f) At the request of any Holder made during the Restriction Period, Holdings LLC shall provide such Holder with the information, as of the date of such notice, of the aggregate amount of Units Transferred by the Consenting Legacy Holders out of the Units that they held immediately after the Contribution, and the aggregate amount of Legacy Options exercised.
(g) Any two or more Consenting Legacy Holders may from time to time notify Holdings LLC in writing that they wish to be considered a group for the purposes of calculating the aggregate number of Units that may be transferred by the group of Consenting Legacy Holders as a whole and may further notify Holdings LLC that they have decided to allocate the number of aggregate number of Units that may be so transferred among the group members, in any manner that they so desire. Once any one of the group members has Transferred Units in excess of the number of Units that such group member would otherwise have been entitled to Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section, then the group notice to Holdings LLC shall become irrevocable and shall apply to and shall bind the group members until the end of the Restriction Period.

EXHIBIT A: CLASS A PORTION DISTRIBUTIONS
A. Distributions Other Than Liquidating Distributions. At such times as the Class A Portion of any Distribution other than a Liquidating Distribution is payable to the Holders of Class A Units pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Agreement, such Distribution shall be made only in (and any determination of the value or price of Units in shall reflect and give effect to) the following proportion, order and priority:
1. | in all cases, first, as set forth in Section 4.3, and then ratably among the Holders of Class A Units (including any Class A-1 Units) based upon the number of Class A Units (including Class A-1 Units) held thereby. |
B. Liquidating Distributions. Subject to the other terms set forth in this Exhibit A, at such times as the Class A Portion of any Liquidating Distribution is payable to the Holders of Class A Units pursuant to Sections 4.4 or 4.5 of this Agreement, such Distribution shall be made only in the following proportion, order and priority:
1. | first, to the Holders of Class A-1 Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the aggregate Class A-1 Unreturned Capital of such Class A-1 Units held by such Holders, until the aggregate Class A-1 Unreturned Capital with respect to all Class A-1 Units has been reduced to zero; then |
2. | second, to the Holders of Class A Units other than Class A-1 Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the aggregate Class A Unreturned Capital of such Class A Units held by such Holders, until the aggregate Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to all Class A Units has been reduced to zero; and then |
3. | thereafter, to the Holders of all Class A Units (including Class A-1 Units), ratably among such Holders based upon the number of Class A Units (including Class A-1 Units) held thereby. |
For the purposes of this Exhibit A, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:
Class A Unreturned Capital means, with respect to any Class A Unit (but excluding any Class A-1 Units), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made with respect to such Class A Unit as of such date, over (ii) the aggregate amount of prior Distributions made by Holdings LLC as of such date in respect of such Class A Unit pursuant to Section A or Section B of this Exhibit A. The Class A Unreturned Capital of each Holder of Class A Units (but excluding any Class A-1 Units) as of the March 4, 2015 shall be equal to the Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made with respect to such Class A Units, as set forth on the Schedule of Members.
Class A-1 Unreturned Capital means, with respect to any Class A-1 Unit, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made or
A-1
deemed to have been made with respect to such Class A-1 Unit as of such date, over (ii) the aggregate amount of prior Distributions made by Holdings LLC as of such date in respect of such Class A-1 Unit pursuant to Section A or Section B of this Exhibit A. The Class A-1 Unreturned Capital of each Holder of Class A-1 Units as of March 4, 2015 shall be equal to the Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made with respect to Class A-1 Units, as set forth on the Schedule of Members.
A-2
EXHIBIT B: CLASS B PORTION DISTRIBUTIONS
Subject to the other terms set forth in this Exhibit B, at such times as the Class B Portion of any Distribution, including any Liquidating Distribution, is payable to the Holders of Class B Units pursuant this Agreement, such Distribution shall be made only in the following proportion, order and priority:
1. | first, to the Holders of Series B2 Units and Series B3 Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the aggregate Series B2 Unpaid Return of such Series B2 Units and Series B3 Unpaid Return of such Series B3 Units held by such Holders, until both the aggregate Series B2 Unpaid Return with respect to all Series B2 Units and the aggregate Series B3 Unpaid Return with respect to all Series B3 Units has been reduced to zero; then |
2. | second, to the Holders of Series B2 Units and Series B3 Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital of such Series B2 Units and Series B3 Units held by such Holders, until the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to all Series B2 Units and Series B3 Units has been reduced to zero; then |
3. | third, to the Holders of Series B1 Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the aggregate Series B1 Unpaid Return of such Series B1 Units held by such Holders, until the aggregate Series B1 Unpaid Return with respect to all Series B1 Units has been reduced to zero; then |
4. | fourth, to the Holders of Series B1 Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital of such Series B1 Units held by such Holders, until the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to all Series B1 Units has been reduced to zero; and then |
5. | thereafter, to the Holders of all Class B Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the number of Class B Units held thereby. |
For the purposes of this Exhibit B, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:
Class B Unreturned Capital means, with respect to any Class B Unit of any series and as of any date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made with respect to such Class B Unit as of such date, over (ii) the aggregate amount of prior Distributions made by Holdings LLC as of such date in respect of such Class B Unit pursuant to Section 2 or Section 4 (as applicable) of this Exhibit B. The Class B Unreturned Capital of each Holder of Class B Units as of the effective date shall be equal to the Capital Contributions set forth on the Schedule of Members.
Series B1 Unpaid Return means, with respect to Series B1 Units, an amount equal to the result of (i) an amount accruing daily at the rate of 8% per annum, commencing effective as of January 4, 2013 and compounding annually, on the Unreturned Capital of such Series B1 Units, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all Distributions made in respect of such Series B1 Unit pursuant to Section 3 of this Exhibit B.
B-1
Series B2 Unpaid Return means, with respect to Series B2 Units, an amount equal to (A) an amount accruing daily at the rate of 8% per annum, commencing effective as of January 4, 2013 and compounding annually, on the Unreturned Capital of such Series B2 Units, minus (B) the aggregate amount of all Distributions made in respect of such Series B2 Unit pursuant to Section 1 of this Exhibit B.
Series B3 Unpaid Return means, with respect to Series B3 Units, an amount equal to (A) an amount accruing daily at the rate of 8% per annum, commencing effective as of January 4, 2013 and compounding annually, on the Unreturned Capital of such Series B3 Units, minus (B) the aggregate amount of all Distributions made in respect of such Series B3 Unit pursuant to Section 1 of this Exhibit B.
For the avoidance of doubt, in calculating the amount of any Distribution to be made at any time, the portion of the unpaid return(s) for such portion of the period elapsing before such Distribution is made shall be taken into account.
If a portion (but not all) of the Holders of Class B Units elect to pay cash in respect of indemnification obligations under the Contribution Agreement and the remainder do not so elect, then the Holders of Class B Units shall equitably reallocate the Class B Units among Holders such that Holders that do not so elect to pay (or otherwise failed to actually pay) cash will bear the entirety of the resulting dilutive adjustment of the Class B Portion. Such reallocation shall be implemented, subject to applicable law, through the conversion of the respective portion of Class B Units held by Holders that do not pay cash into deferred units (conferring upon the holders thereof no rights except for the right to receive from Holdings LLC an amount of $0.01 per each unit from the Class B Portion of any Liquidating Distribution upon liquidation of Holdings LLC, following distribution to all other Holders of Class B Units) or, subject to any applicable law, through any other means (including, without limitation, issuance, redemption or transfer of units or other equity securities) that will not adversely affect the Holders or their tax planning.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Exhibit B, if the aggregate amount of Liquidating Distributions that the Holders of Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units, respectively, would receive in connection with any Liquidating Distributions made pursuant to Sections 1 through 5 (as applicable) of this Exhibit B would exceed seven (7) times the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made by such Holders with respect to their Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units, respectively (each the Maximum Participation Amount for such series), then each Holder of Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units, as applicable, shall receive Liquidating Distributions equal to the greater of: (a) the Maximum Participation Amount for such Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units, as applicable, and (b) the amount such holder would receive if no amounts were Distributed with respect to the Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units, as applicable, under Sections 1 through 4 of the foregoing waterfall set forth in this Exhibit B.
B-2
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Exhibit B, at the election of Holders of (a) at least a majority of the Series B1 Units with respect to Series B1 Preferred Return, (b) at least a majority of Series B2 Units with respect to the Series B2 Unpaid Return and (c) at least a majority of the Series B3 Units with respect to the Series B3 Preferred Return (which such elections may be made with to the payment of any or all Series B1 Preferred Unpaid Return, Series B2 Unpaid Return and Series B3 Unpaid Return, a Holder of Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units shall have the right, exercisable at any time beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the consummation of a Liquidity Event (the Conversion Right), to waive all or any portion of its Series B1 Unpaid Return, Series B2 Unpaid Return and/or Series B3 Unpaid Return, as applicable, and increase the number of Series B4 Units deemed to be held by such Holder and the number of outstanding Series B4 Units, solely for the purpose of allocating Liquidating Distributions among the Holders of Class B Units under this Exhibit B, by an amount equal to (a) the portion of the waived Series B1 Unpaid Return, Series B2 Unpaid Return or Series B3 Unpaid Return, as applicable, divided by (b) the Fair Market Value of such Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units. A Holder may exercise its Conversion Right by delivery of written notice thereof, which notice shall identify the amount of such Holders Series B1 Unpaid Return, Series B2 Unpaid Return and/or Series B3 Unpaid Return to be waived, at or prior to the consummation of a Liquidity Event. In the event of a Holders exercise of its Conversion Right, such exercise (including the waiver of a portion of such Holders Unpaid Return, the deemed increase in the number of Series B4 Units held by such Holder and the deemed increase in the number of outstanding Series B4 Units) shall be taken into account in connection with the making of Liquidating Distributions under this Exhibit B and the calculations contemplated by the immediately preceding paragraph.
Unless otherwise approved by the Class B Preferred Majority, in the event of a Liquidity Event (other than a dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Holdings LLC), if any portion of the consideration payable to the Holders of Class B Units is placed into escrow and/or is payable to such Holders subject to contingencies, the parties hereto shall cause the definitive documentation evidencing such Liquidity Event to provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not placed into escrow and not subject to contingencies (the Initial Consideration) shall be allocated among the Holders of Class B Units in accordance with this Exhibit B as if the Initial Consideration was the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidity Event, and (b) any additional consideration that becomes payable to the Holders of Class B Units shall be allocated among such Holders in accordance with this Exhibit B after taking into account the previous Distributions of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.
B-3
EXHIBIT C: CLASS C PORTION DISTRIBUTIONS
At such times as the Class C Portion of any Distribution is payable to the Holders of Class C Units pursuant to this Agreement, such Distribution, shall be made among the Holders of Class C Units as follows:

2. | thereafter, any remaining distributable proceeds available for distribution upon Distribution following the allocation pursuant to Section 1 shall be allocated to the Holders of all Class C Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the number of Class C Units held thereby. |
3. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Schedule C, if the pro-rata distribution of the distributable proceeds available for distribution upon Distribution among the Holders of Class C Units as set forth in this Schedule C (without, however, giving effect to the preference of the Holders of the Class C Preferred pursuant to Section 1 above and without payment of any Preferential Amount) results in the Holders of the Class C Preferred receiving with respect to each outstanding unit of Class C Preferred an amount of at least $34.2046, which represents seven hundred percent (700%) of the per unit Original Purchase Price of the Series C2 Units (i.e., an amount of US$34.42621 (representing seven times the original purchase price of the Series A Preferred Shares of Peer Medical Ltd. (now known as Endochoice Innovation Center, Ltd.) divided by 1.006477 (the conversion ratio of the Peer Medical Ltd.

For the purposes of Section 1 above, if the distributable proceeds available for distribution upon Distribution among the holders of Class C Preferred shall be insufficient to permit the payment to holders of the Class C Preferred of the full Preferential Amount, then the entire distributable proceeds available for distribution shall
C-1
be distributed pro-rata among the holders of the Class C Preferred (i.e., to all holders of the issued and outstanding Series C1 Units and Series C2 Units) in proportion to the Preferential Amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
For the purposes of this Exhibit C, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:

Preferential C1 Amount means, with respect to each Series C1 Unit, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the respective Original Purchase Price (i.e., the respective Original Purchase Price for each Series C1 Units), plus eight percent (8%) of such respective Original Purchase Price of such unit, per annum, from the date set forth in the table below with respect to the Holder of such Series C1 Unit until the date of Liquidating Distribution, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Liquidating Distributions made in respect of such Series C1 Unit pursuant to Section 1 above (the Preferential C1 Amount).
Preferential C2 Amount means, with respect to each Series C2 Unit, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the respective Original Purchase Price (i.e., the respective Original Purchase Price for each Series C2), plus eight percent (8%) of such respective Original Purchase Price of such unit, per annum, from the date set forth in the table below with respect to the Holder of such Series C2 Unit until the date of Liquidating Distribution, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Liquidating Distributions made in respect of such Series C2 Unit pursuant to Section 1 above (the Preferential C2 Amount and together with the Preferential C1 Amount shall be referred to herein as the Preferential Amount).

If a portion (but not all) of the Holders of Class C Units elect to pay cash in respect of indemnification obligations under the Contribution Agreement and the remainder do not so elect, then the Holders of Class C Units shall equitably reallocate the Class C Units among Holders such that Holders that do not so elect to pay (or otherwise failed to actually pay) cash will bear the entirety of the resulting dilutive adjustment of the Class C Portion. Such reallocation shall be implemented, subject to applicable law, through the conversion of the respective portion of Class C Units held by Holders that do not pay cash into deferred units (conferring upon the holders thereof no rights except for the right to receive from Holdings LLC an amount of $0.01 per each unit from the Class C Portion of any Liquidating Distribution, upon liquidation of Holdings LLC, following distribution to all other Holders of Class C Units) or, subject to any applicable law, through any other means (including, without limitation, issuance, redemption or transfer of units or other equity securities) that will not adversely affect the Holders or their tax planning.

EXHIBIT F: CLASS A-1 UNIT ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION
Step 1: Calculate the Adjusted FMV for the immediately prior Additional Class A Issuance Event (the Prior Additional Class A Issuance Event)
Adjusted FMV = | Prior Pre-FMV * Conversion Factor | |
Prior Post-FMV + New $AIE | ||
Conversion Factor = |
| |
Total Equity | ||
NACAIE% = | The percentage ownership of Holdings LLC of the Class A Units issued in the new Additional Class A Issuance Event, calculated as (x) the New $AIE divided by (y) the sum of the New Pre-FMV and the New $AIE | |
New Pre-FMV = | Fair Market Value of Holdings LLC immediately prior to the new Additional Class A Issuance Event | |
New $AIE = | Aggregate dollar amount of the new Additional Class A Issuance Event | |
Prior Post-FMV = | Prior Pre-FMV plus the aggregate dollar amount of the prior Additional Class A Issuance Event | |
Prior Pre-FMV = | Fair Market Value* of Holdings LLC immediately prior to the Prior Additional Class A Issuance Event | |
Total Equity = | Prior Post-FMV divided by (1 NACAIE%) |
* | For avoidance of doubt the Fair Market Value of Holdings LLC shall be the value actually determined by the Board at the time of the Prior Additional Class Issuance Event (and not at the time of the anti-dilution adjustment contemplated by this Exhibit F). |
Step 2: Recalculate the Class Portions for the Prior Additional Class A Issuance Event, the FMV per Class A Unit and the total number of Class A-1 Units based on the Adjusted FMV
| The Class Portions will be recalculated pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 4 of the Schedule of Members, except that the FMV will be equal to the Adjusted FMV determined in Step 1 above. |
| The Adjusted FMV per Class A Unit will be calculated by dividing the (x) Adjusted FMV by (y) the total number of Class A Units outstanding immediately prior to the prior Additional Class A Issuance Event. |
| The adjusted number of Class A-1 Units to be issued based on the Adjusted FMV will be equal to (x) the aggregate amount of the Prior Class A Additional Issuance Event divided by (y) the Adjusted FMV per Class A Unit. The excess of the adjusted number of Class A-1 Units will be distributed to the holders of Class A-1 Units in proportion to their investment amount in the Prior Additional Class A Issuance Event. |
D-6
Step 3: Calculate Class Portions for the New Additional Class A Issuance Event
| The Class Portions will be recalculated pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 4 of the Schedule of Members. For avoidance of doubt, the Additional Class Issuance Event will be calculated after taking into account the adjustments to the Class Portions and the Class A-1 Units contemplated by Steps 1 and 2. |

The Class A Portion, the Class B Portion and the Class C Portion shall each be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following:
1. | In the event of any inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 5 of the Investment Agreement and in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Purchasers (as defined in the Investment Agreement) contained in the Investment Agreement (a Class A Breach), to the extent all indemnification obligations with respect to such Class A Breach are not satisfied by cash payments to Holdings LLC, the Class A Portion shall be decreased by multiplying the Class A Portion in effect prior to such decrease by the quotient of (a) the Losses (as defined in the Investment Agreement) indemnifiable with respect to such Class A Breach, divided by $43,885,000. |
2. | In the event of any inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation or warranty of Endochoice or the Endochoice Shareholders (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) contained in the Contribution Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached thereto) (determined in each case without regard to any qualification with respect to materiality, material adverse effect or other similar qualification) and in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement of Endochoice or the Endochoice Shareholders contained in the Contribution Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached thereto) (a Class B Breach), to the extent the Indemnifying Party (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) does not elected to satisfy its indemnification obligations with respect to such Class B Breach in cash in accordance with Section 11.6(a)(ii) of the Contribution Agreement, the Class B Portion shall be decreased by multiplying the Class B Portion in effect prior to such decrease by the quotient of (a) the Losses (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) indemnifiable with respect to such Class B Breach, divided by $60,000,000. |
3. | In the event of any inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation or warranty of Peer or the Peer Shareholders (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) contained in the Contribution Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached thereto) (determined in each case without regard to any qualification with respect to materiality, material adverse effect or other similar qualification) and in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement of Peer or the Peer Shareholders contained in the Contribution Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit |

attached thereto) (a Class C Breach), to the extent the Indemnifying Party (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) does not elected to satisfy its indemnification obligations with respect to such Class C Breach in cash in accordance with Section 11.6(a)(ii) of the Contribution Agreement, the Class C Portion shall be decreased by multiplying the Class C Portion in effect prior to such decrease by the quotient of (a) the Losses (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) indemnifiable with respect to such Class C Breach, divided by $40,000,000. |
4. | If any Class Portion is decreased pursuant to Sections 1 through 3 of this Schedule of Class Portions, the Class A Portion (except in the case of a Class A Breach), the Class B Portion (except in the case of a Class B Breach) and the Class C Portion (except in the case of a Class C Breach), as applicable, shall be proportionately increased by the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Class Portion to be increased and the denominator of which is the aggregate Class Portions to be increased, multiplied by (b) such marginal decrease in Class Portion pursuant to Sections 1 through 3. |
For example, in the event that a Class B Breach entitled to indemnification immediately after this Agreement caused indemnifiable Losses of $6,000,000, the Class B Portion would be reduced from 38.273% (to the result of 38.273% - (38.273% x $6,000,000 ÷ $60,000,000) = 34.446%), and that marginal reduction (3.827%) would be allocated among the Class A Portion (increased by the product of 3.827% x 29.152% ÷ (29.152% + 25.575%) = 2.039%) and the Class C Portion (increased by the product of 3.827% x 25.575% ÷ (29.152% + 25.575%) = 1.788%).
Notwithstanding the table above in this Schedule of Class Portions and the definitions of Class A Portion, Class B Portion, Class C Portion and Incentive Portion set forth in Article I of this Agreement or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement:
1. | If and to the extent that any Liquidating Distributions to be made to the Holders of Class A Units are less than the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made with respect to such Class A Unit (including any Class A-1 Units) as of such date (which, for each holder of Class A Units (including any Class A-1 Units) as of March 4, 2015, is as set forth in the Schedule of Members), less (b) the aggregate amount of prior Distributions made by Holdings LLC to Holders of Class A Units, (such excess, the Preference Amount and such circumstance to the extent applicable, a Preference Scenario), then (i) up to an aggregate amount of Distributions equal to the Preference Amount, (A) the Class A Portion shall be equal to 100.00%, and (B) each of the Class B Portion, the Class C Portion and the Incentive Portion shall be equal to 0.00%, and (ii) thereafter, (A) the Class A Portion shall be equal to 0.00%, and (B) each of the Class B Portion, the Class C Portion and the Incentive Portion shall be increased in the aggregate by the amount of the Class A Portion otherwise in effect (allocated among such classes in accordance with their relative Class Portions as of immediately prior to such Distribution). For the avoidance of doubt, under any circumstance other than a Preference Scenario (a Conversion Scenario), each class portion shall be as set forth in the table above (subject to the other paragraphs of this Schedule of Class Portions). Upon a Liquidity Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the Members is placed into escrow and/or is payable to Members subject to contingencies (e.g., earn-outs), (a) the portion of the consideration that is not placed into escrow or not subject to contingencies (the Initial Consideration) shall be allocated and distributed among the Members in accordance with this Agreement as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection |

with such Liquidity Event and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable to Members in connection with such Liquidity Event upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated and distributed among the Members in accordance with this Agreement as part of the same transaction after taking into account the previous allocation and distribution of the Initial Consideration (with it being understood that, to the extent the final amount of aggregate consideration from any such Liquidity Transaction exceeds that threshold of proceeds required for a Conversion Scenario, the Members shall equitably reallocate subsequently available and distributable consideration). |
2. | If and to the extent that Holdings LLC or any of its Subsidiaries repurchases or redeems any Unit (other than an Incentive Unit which is forfeited or cancelled pursuant to this Agreement or any Incentive Agreement), the Class Portion of the class of the Units so repurchased or redeemed shall be equitably reduced relative to all other classes of Units, such that (i) the Class Portion of the class of the Units so repurchased and redeemed shall be multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the Pro Rata Share of all Units of such class (other than the Units to be repurchased or redeemed) as of immediately prior to such repurchase or redemption, and (B) the denominator of which is the is the Pro Rata Share of all Units of such class (including the Units to be repurchased or redeemed) as of immediately prior to such repurchase or redemption, and (ii) the Class Portion of all other classes of Units shall be increased by the product of the incremental decrease in the Class Portion of the class of Units which is reduced pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph, multiplied by a fraction (X) the numerator of which is the Class Portion of such other class of Units, and (Y) the denominator of which is the aggregate Class Portion of all such other classes of Units (provided, that to the extent modification pursuant to this clause (ii) would result the increase of Class Portion for the Incentive Units above 8.0974%, such increase shall instead be allocated among the other classes of Units for which no redemption or repurchase is occurring). |
3. | If and to the extent that the number of issued and outstanding Vested Incentive Units whose Participation Threshold has been satisfied (if ever) as of the time of any Distribution is less than 12,628,718 (for the purposes of this schedule, the Incentive Pool Amount), whether due to incomplete vesting, repurchases or forfeitures of Incentive Units pursuant to this Agreement or any Incentive Agreement or otherwise, then (x) the Incentive Portion shall be reduced to the product of (i) the Incentive Portion set forth in the table above in this Schedule of Class Portions multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Vested Incentive Units (with the applicable Participation Threshold satisfied, if ever) then issued and outstanding, and the denominator of which is the Incentive Pool Amount, (y) the Class Portion of all other classes of Units shall be increased, in the aggregate by the amount of the reduction pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph (allocated among classes on the basis of the Class Percentage of each such class relative to the aggregate Class Percentage of all of the Class A Units, the Class B Units, the Class C Units and (after giving effect to the reduction pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph) the Incentive Units. |
4. | If and to the extent that Holdings LLC sells and issues any additional Class A Units (such issuances subject in all cases to the applicable consent and preemptive rights of the Holders under this Agreement) and the Fair Market Value of Holdings LLC is such that, if Liquidating Distributions were to be made to the Holders of Class A Units, such Liquidating Distributions would not result in a Preference Scenario (such issuance of additional Class A Units, an |

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that additional Class A Units are issued to TriplePoint Capital LLC (TriplePoint) upon the exercise of warrants issued to TriplePoint dated as of February 18, 2014 (the TriplePoint Warrants), the Class Portions shall not be adjusted in accordance with this Section 4 since the Class Portions in effect as of March 4, 2015 upon execution and delivery of this Agreement already reflect a deemed exercise of the TriplePoint Warrants and a deemed issuance of 2,091,175 Class A Units to TriplePoint (the Deemed TriplePoint Class A Units).
Upon a consummation of a Liquidity Event, if the TriplePoint Warrants are not exercised, the current Class Portions set forth in this Schedule of Members shall be adjusted by (x) first, determining the deemed Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage represented by the Deemed TriplePoint Class A Units, (y) second, reducing the current Class A Portion by such Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage and (z) third, allocating such Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage amongst the current Class Portions pro rata in accordance with the Class Portion percentages deemed to be in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Class A-1 Unit Purchase Agreements, which Class Portion percentages are set forth below. For purposes of this Section 4, the Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage represented by the Deemed TriplePoint Class A Units, shall be equal to the product of (x) the current Class A Portion, multiplied by (y) the Proportionate Share of the Class A Units (including the Deemed TriplePoint Class A Units) represented by the Deemed TriplePoint Class A Units.

SCHEDULE OF CLASS PORTIONS
For purposes of this Section 4, the Class Portions deemed to be in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Class A-1 Unit Purchase Agreements are as follows:
Unit Class | Class Portion | |||
Class A Units | 28.6144 | % | ||
Class B Units | 36.1542 | % | ||

Incentive Units | 11.0723 | % | ||

For example, if there were 100,748,530 Class A Units outstanding as of the Liquidity Event and the current Class Portions as of the Liquidity Event are as set forth in this Schedule of Members, (x) the Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage of the Deemed TriplePoint Class A Units would be equal to 0.9660%, (y) the existing Class A Portion would be reduced by such percentage to 45.5810% and (z) such percentage would be allocated across the Class Portions with the result that: the Class A Portion would be decreased in the aggregate by 0.6896% to 45.8574%; the Class B Portion would be increased by 0.3493% to 27.4213%, the Class C Portion would be increased by 0.2334% to 18.3235% and the Incentive Portion would be increased by 0.107% to 8.3978%.
In order for the foregoing adjustment mechanism to correctly account for each additional issuance of Class A Units and appropriately adjust the Class Portions listed in the table above, Holdings LLC shall amend and update the Schedule of Class Portions as provided above upon each and every issuance of Class A Units (which shall not be deemed an amendment of this Agreement for the purposes of Section 11.9). Upon such adjustment, Holdings LLC shall deliver a copy of the updated Schedule of Class Portions to each Major Member, along with a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the facts upon which such adjustments were made and the calculations relating thereto as set forth above.
