SECTION 2. PHANTOM EQUITY PARTICIPATION

2.1 Issuance and Vesting of Phantom Units. The parties agree and acknowledge that the aggregate value of the Investments to be made by the Participating Pilots as set forth in Paragraph A of LOA 67 is $39.3 million (the “Investment Value”). In consideration of the Investments made by the Participating Pilots pursuant to Paragraph A of LOA 67, the Company hereby grants to FAPAInvest, for the benefit of the Participating Pilots, units (“Units”) on the terms and conditions set forth below:

(a) Units. Each Unit represents the right to receive from the Company on a Payment Date cash and/or shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to the Falcon Per Share Price. Units that vest solely upon Investments made by the Participating Pilots shall be referred to herein as “Investment-Based Units”. Units that vest based upon both Investments made by the Participating Pilots and the occurrence of the Investment Recovery Date shall be referred to herein as “Investment Recovery Units”.

(b) Unit Pool. The aggregate number of Units subject to this Agreement (the “Unit Pool”) shall be the number that, after giving effect to such issuance and treating, solely for the purpose of calculating the Unit Pool, Units as Conversion Shares, equals four percent (4.0%) of Capitalization of Falcon as of June 30, 2014. Eighty-seven and one-half percent (87.5%) of the Unit Pool shall consist of Investment-Based Units (the “Investment Unit Pool”) and twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Unit Pool shall consist of Investment Recovery Units (the “Recovery Unit Pool”).

(c) Vesting.

(i) As of the Closing Date, that number of Investment-Based Units calculated by multiplying the Investment Unit Pool times a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Investment that has been made as of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the Investment Value, vested. Thereafter, the Investment-Based Units shall vest at such times the Investments are made as set forth in Schedule 1.1(b) attached hereto. On each applicable vesting date, the number of Investment-Based Units vesting shall equal the number calculated by multiplying the Investment Unit Pool by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Investment on such vesting date and the denominator of which is the Investment Value. The parties acknowledge that the portion of the Investment Value that will have vested as of December 31, 2013 is $24,600,000.

(ii) On the Investment Recovery Date, that number of Investment Recovery Units calculated by multiplying the Recovery Unit Pool times a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Investment that has been made as of the Investment Recovery Date and the denominator of which is the Investment Value, shall vest. Thereafter, the Investment Recovery Units shall vest at such times the Investments are made as set forth in Schedule 1.1(b) attached hereto. On each applicable vesting date, the number of Investment Recovery Units vesting shall equal the number calculated by multiplying the Recovery Unit Pool by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Investment on such vesting date and the denominator of which is the Investment Value.

(d) Termination. In the event of a Participating Pilot’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, including, without limitation, because of such

 

4


Participating Pilot’s resignation, retirement, death, or termination of employment by the Company (any such termination of employment, a “Termination Event”), then the vesting of the Participating Pilot’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the Unit Pool shall immediately cease as of the effective date of such Termination Event, and the Participating Pilot’s Pro Rata Share of the vested Units shall be paid out on one or more Payment Dates as set forth in Section 2.4 below.

(e) Notices. So long as Investments are being made by the Participating Pilots, then within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter beginning with the quarter first ending after the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to FAPAInvest a written summary (in a form reasonably acceptable to FAPAInvest) of the Investments made by the Participating Pilots and the Units vested.

2.2 Adjustments to Units.

(a) Equitable Adjustments. In the event any Falcon stockholders receive a cash dividend, cash distribution or other cash payment in respect of the ownership interests in Falcon, each Unit shall be adjusted to provide for an amount equal to such cash dividend, distribution or other payment to be paid as and when payments in respect of the vested Units are made in accordance with Section 2.4. In the event Falcon otherwise engages in a nonreciprocal transaction between Falcon and its stockholders, such as a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or spin-off, or a recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, that affects the number or kind of shares of Common Stock or the share price and causes a change in the Falcon Per Share Price represented by Units, the Units shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such nonreciprocal transaction.

(b) Administrative Costs. FAPAInvest in its sole discretion shall determine any amounts that are to be set aside out of the funds that would have otherwise been distributed to the Participating Pilots under this Agreement to cover costs of the establishment, administration, oversight of, and the enforcement of FAPAInvest’s and the Participating Pilots’ rights under, this Agreement and/or the Profit Sharing Plan. Any payments received by the Participating Pilots under this Agreement will be net of any such amounts set aside pursuant to this Section. In this regard, FAPAInvest may engage such professionals and service providers as it deems appropriate to assist with the establishment, administration, oversight and enforcement of this Agreement, and include the fees and expenses for such persons as costs of establishment, administration, oversight and enforcement of this Agreement for purposes of the set aside under this Section. Any set aside amounts remaining after the last payment to the Participating Pilots under this Agreement shall be allocated and paid to the same Participating Pilots and in the same proportion as such last payment under this Agreement.

2.3 Determination of Pro Rata Share and Allocation Schedule.

(a) Pro Rata Share. Each Participating Pilot’s pro rata share (“Pro Rata Share”) of the amount payable in respect of vested Units on a particular Payment Date shall be calculated as a ratio determined by dividing (i) the portion of Taxable Compensation of the Participating Pilot corresponding to the Applicable Time Period by (ii) the aggregate Taxable Compensation of all Participating Pilots as such compensation is reported for the Applicable

 

5


Time Period, in each case to four decimal places. (For example: if a Participating Pilot’s compensation for the Applicable Time Period is $100,000 and the total Participating Pilots’ compensation for the Applicable Time Period is $60,000,000, that Participating Pilot’s Pro Rata Share of amounts payable in respect of vested Units as of the applicable Payment Date would be 0.1667%).

(b) Notice and Allocation Schedule. No later than thirty (30) days prior to each Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to FAPAInvest accurate and complete information (collectively, “Information”) setting forth (i) the effective date(s) of every Termination Event that occurred after the date Participating Pilots first began making Investments hereunder (or after the last Payment Date, as applicable) and prior to such applicable Payment Date, and the name of each Participating Pilot whose employment with the Company was terminated by such Termination Event; (ii) the Taxable Compensation earned by each Participating Pilot for the Applicable Time Period as described in Section 2.3(a) above; and (iii) the number of Units vested through the applicable Payment Date. Based on the Information received, FAPAInvest shall then determine each Participating Pilot’s Pro Rata Share due on such Payment Date and no later than two business days prior to such Payment Date, FAPAInvest shall provide the Company with an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) for such Payment Date, which Allocation Schedule shall identify (1) the Participating Pilots who shall receive a cash payment or Shares, as applicable, on such Payment Date and (2) each such Participating Pilot’s Pro Rata Share. The Allocation Schedule once provided by FAPAInvest to the Company shall be considered final with respect to the applicable Payment Date, and the Company shall be entitled to rely upon such Allocation Schedule in allocating payments in respect of the vested Units among the Participating Pilots on such Payment Date absent manifest error. For purposes of preparing the Information, determining a Participating Pilot’s Investment and Pro Rata Share, and preparing the Allocation Schedule, any Participating Pilot who has not had a Termination Event prior to the date on which the Information is prepared by the Company shall be deemed to have continued as an employee of the Company through the Payment Date.

2.4 Payments

(a) Payment Pursuant to Prior Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Stock Purchase constituted a 409A Event under the Prior Agreement. Pursuant to the Prior Agreement, on or before December 31, 2013, subject to FAPAInvest timely providing the Allocation Schedule as set forth in the Prior Agreement, the Company shall pay to or for the benefit of the Participating Pilots in accordance with the Prior Agreement an amount equal to $1,768,000 less (i) amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Prior Agreement and (ii) the amount specified by FAPAInvest to the Company in writing within ten (10) business days of the Closing Date, which shall be paid to FAPAInvest when payments are made to the Participating Pilots under this Section 2.4(a) for FAPAInvest’s use pursuant to Section 1.2(c) of the Prior Agreement and Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement.

6


409A Event as set forth on Schedule 2.4 hereto. Any payments made upon the occurrence of a 409A Event shall be paid in cash, provided that in the event the 409A Event is a Qualifying IPO, Falcon will use reasonable best efforts to register the shares of Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and if such Shares are registered, the payments shall be made in shares of Common Stock. Any payments made upon the 2020 Payment Date, the 2022 Payment Date and the 2025 Payment Date shall be paid in cash except to the extent specified in Schedule 2.4 with respect to a non-409A Qualifying IPO that occurs prior to the 2020 Payment Date. In no event may amounts paid be less than zero.

(c) Other Events. The parties hereto acknowledge that there may be other events and circumstances not covered by this Agreement that may occur. The parties agree to address such events in a manner that to the extent practicable is consistent with this Section 2.4 and Schedule 2.4 with the intent of this Agreement to provide the value of the Units to the Participating Pilots in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.
