Such written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered to the Company by such means as are determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion to constitute adequate delivery. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregat Exercise Price for the Common Units with respect to which the Option is being exercised. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Units with respect to which the Option is being exercised.

(ii) As a condition to the exercise of these Options and as further set forth in Section 10 of the Plan, Optionee agrees to make adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the vesting or exercise of the Options, or disposition of Common Units, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise.
(iii) The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Common Units upon exercise of the Options if such issuance or delivery would not comply with Applicable Laws, with such non-compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. These Options may not be exercised if the issuance of such Common Units upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such Common Units would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation. As a condition to the exercise of these Options, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by the Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Common Units shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Options are exercised with respect to such Common Units.
2
(d) Method of Payment. The consideration to be paid for the Common Units to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator. Such consideration may consist of (l) cash, (2) check (3) promissory notes, (4) other Units which (i) in the case of Common Units acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Common Units as to which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan (which program shall employ a third-party appraisal to value the Common Units), or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
5. Termination of Relationship. Following the date of termination of Optionees Continuous Service Status for any reason (the Termination Date), Optionee may exercise the Options only as set forth herein. To the extent that any Options are not Vested Options, or Optionee is otherwise not entitled to exercise these Options, as of the Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the Termination Period (as defined below) set forth herein, the Options shall terminate in their entirety. In no event, may any Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Options.
(a) Termination. In the event of termination of Optionees Continuous Service Status other than as a result of Optionees disability or death, whether or not for Cause, Optionee may, to the extent Optionee is vested in the Option Units at the Termination Date, exercise this Option within six (6) months following the Termination Date (the Termination Period).
(b) Other Terminations. In connection with any termination other than a termination covered by Section 5(a), Optionee may exercise the Options, only as described below:
(i) Termination upon Disability of Optionee. In the event of termination of Optionees Continuous Service Status as a result of Optionees disability (including a disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), Optionee may, but only within six (6) months from the Termination Date, exercise the Vested Options as of the Termination Date.
(ii) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of Optionee (a) during the term of these Options and while an Employee or Consultant of the Company and having been in Continuous Service Status since the date of grant of the Options, or (b) within thirty (30) days after Optionees Termination Date, the Vested Options may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death by Optionees estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Vested Options by bequest or inheritance as of the Termination Date.
6. Non-Transferability of Option. These Options may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by him or her. The terms of these Options shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.
7. Tax Consequences.
(a) The following discussion is meant as general guidance as to the federal income tax consequences of the receipt and exercise of the options granted herein. It is critical to note that the law in this area is uncertain, and therefore the following is not definitive. Moreover, the tax consequences to Optionee will in part depend on Optionees own personal tax situation. THIS SUMMARY IS INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER TAX ADVISER IN CONNECTION WITH THE GRANT AND BEFORE THE EXERCISE OF THESE OPTIONS OR DISPOSING OF THE COMMON UNITS.
3
(b) In general, Optionee should not recognize taxable income upon receipt of the Option. In cases in which the Options strike price is less than the fair market value of the Options at the time of the grant of the Options, Optionee could recognize taxable income when the Options vest and, depending on whether Treasury Regulations are adopted that mirror the treatment of compensatory options to acquire corporate stock, Optionee could be subject to substantial additional excise-tax-like liabilities. The Company believes, however, that the Exercise Price represents the fair market value of the Common Units and therefore Optionee should not recognize income at the time of the grant or vesting of the Options.
Optionee will recognize taxable income upon exercise of the Options. The amount of taxable income would be the value of the Common Units at the time of exercise less the Exercise Price. Upon exercise of the Options, Optionee will have a capital account equal to at least the amount of the Exercise Price. Optionees capital account may also include credit for any income Optionee recognizes upon exercise of the Options; however, there is currently no definitive guidance on this issue, and therefore the Company will make an appropriate determination as to each employees proper capital account balance at the time of exercise of Options. After exercise of Options and issuance of Common Units to Optionee, Optionee will recognize income based on allocations of profits and losses and will be entitled to distributions pursuant to the terms of the Limited Liability Agreement of the Company, dated as of June 22, 2015, as amended from time to time.
8. Effect of Agreement. Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof (and has had an opportunity to consult counsel regarding the Options terms), and hereby accepts these Options and agrees to be bound by its contractual terms as set forth herein and in the Plan. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Plan Administrator regarding any questions relating to the Options. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall prevail. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between Optionee and the Company on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all proposals, written or oral, and all other communications between the parties relating to such subject matter.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement, the Plan, Exercise Notice and the Unit Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of laws. The Company and Optionee (a) hereby irrevocably agree that any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the Plan, Exercise Notice and the Unit Agreement brought shall be any in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware), (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the Plan, Exercise Notice and the Unit Agreement except in accordance with clause (a) above, and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement, the Plan, Exercise Notice, the Unit Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

10. Waiver of Jury Trial; Service of Process. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PLAN, EXERCISE NOTICE OR THE UNIT AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE PLAN, EXERCISE NOTICE AND THE UNIT AGREEMENT INVOLVE COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS AND THAT DISPUTES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER WILL BE MORE QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT DECISION MAKER. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE, BASED ON THE ADVICE OF THEIR COUNSEL, THAT ANY DISPUTE REGARDING OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PLAN, EXERCISE NOTICE OR THE UNIT AGREEMENT BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING APPLICABLE LAW. PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE SERVED ON ANY PARTY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHETHER WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT.
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one Agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission in .PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be duplicate original documents and may be used by all parties for all purposes an original document may be used for and all signatures on such documents shall be deemed and treated for all purposes as original signatures. Execution and delivery of this Agreement by exchange of facsimile or other electronically transmitted counterparts bearing the signature of a party shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such party.
12. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement or the Plan that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of same is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Plan, Exercise Notice and the Unit Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Company and Optionee pertaining to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions and understandings of the Company and Optionee in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, should any conflict exist between the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

14. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified or superseded, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by both parties. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or of any breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, will be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty.
15. Attorneys Fees. If any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Plan, the Exercise Notice, or the Unit Agreement, or the enforcement of any of the above mentioned agreements is brought against any Party to this Agreement or the LLC Agreement, the Prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney, expert, accountant fees, costs and disbursements (Attorneys Fees) (in addition to any other relief to which the Prevailing Party may be entitled). Prevailing Party means that party who obtains substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or judgment, or, if not the party bringing the action, the party against whom the action is brought, if the party bringing the action is not the Prevailing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a written offer of compromise or settlement made by either party is not accepted by the other party within thirty (30) days after receipt and the party not accepting such offer fails to obtain a more favorable judgment, the non-accepting party shall not be entitled to recover its costs of suit and Attorneys Fees (even if it is the Prevailing Party) and shall be obligated to pay the costs of suit and Attorneys Fees incurred by the offering party.

RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT

RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT

2. REPURCHASE OPTION; TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. Subject to Sections 5, in the event Purchasers Continuous Service Status terminates for any reason, including death or disability, then the Company shall have an irrevocable option (the Repurchase Option), for a period of ninety (90) days after the Purchasers period for exercise has concluded, or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by the Company and Purchaser, to repurchase from Purchaser or Purchasers personal representative, as the case may be, at the purchase price per Unit equal to the appraised Fair Market Value of the Units (the Repurchase Option Price), Purchasers Units.
3. EXERCISE OF REPURCHASE OPTION. The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by written notice signed by an officer of the Company or by any assignee or assignees of the Company and delivered or mailed as provided in Section 15(a) hereof. Such notice shall identify the number of Units to be repurchased and shall notify Purchaser of the time, place and date for settlement of such repurchase, which shall be scheduled by the Company within the term of the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 2. The Company shall pay Purchaser in cash at the time the Company repurchases any Units pursuant to its Repurchase Option set forth in Section 2, or, at Companys option, in installments over a period not to exceed four (4) years, with interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate of interest of Bank of America published in the Wall Street Journal, effective upon the date of termination. The Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Units being repurchased and all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to transfer to its own name the Units being repurchased by the Company, without further action by Purchaser.
4. ADJUSTMENTS TO UNITS. If, from time to time during the term of the Repurchase Option, there is any change affecting the Companys outstanding Common Units as a class that is effected without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, dividends or distributions in the form of Units, Units split, combination of Units, change in Company structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), then any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which Purchaser is entitled
20
by reason of Purchasers ownership of the Units shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Option and be included in the word Units for all purposes of the Repurchase Option with the same force and effect as the Units presently subject to the Repurchase Option, but only to the extent the Units are, at the time, covered by such Repurchase Option. While the total Repurchase Option Price shall remain the same after each such event, the Repurchase Option Price per Unit upon exercise of the Repurchase Option shall be appropriately adjusted as determined by the Company.
5. ORGANIC TRANSACTION. In the event of an Organic Transaction, the Repurchase Option shall lapse with respect to all Units owned by Purchaser.
6. TERMINATION OF REPURCHASE OPTION. Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall terminate upon the exercise in full or lapse of the Repurchase Option, whichever occurs first.
7. RIGHTS OF PURCHASER. Notwithstanding the Repurchase Option, Purchaser shall be deemed to be the holder for purposes of receiving any distributions that may be paid with respect to such Units and for the purpose of exercising any voting rights relating to such Units.
8. LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, the Units shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the LLC Agreement.
9. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. In connection with the purchase of the Units, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company the following:
(a) Purchaser is acquiring the Units for investment for Purchasers own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act).
(b) Purchaser understands that the Units have not been registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchasers investment intent as expressed herein.
(c) Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Units must be held indefinitely unless the Units are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Units.
10. SECTION 83(B) ELECTION. Purchaser understands that Section 83(a) of the Code taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Units and the fair market value of the Units as of the date any restrictions on the Units lapse. In this context, restriction includes the right of the Company to buy back the Units pursuant to the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 2(a) above. Purchaser understands that Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the Units are purchased, rather than when and as the Repurchase Option expires, by filing an election under Section 83(b) (an 83(b) Election) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase. An 83(b) election form is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
