SECTION 2.1. Exchange of Common Units.
(a) Subject to Section 2.1(d), from and after the date of the closing of the IPO, each Member shall be entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to surrender to the Company Common Units (other than unvested Common Units that were issued by the Company upon conversion of Profits Interests) in exchange (an “Exchange”) for the delivery to such exchanging Member, for each Company Common Unit so surrendered, of either (x) the Stock Amount; provided that any such Exchange is for a minimum of the lesser of 1,000 Common Units or all of the Common Units then held by such Member; or (y) if the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of GreenSky so elect, provided that the Exchange does not occur during a Corporate Event Period, the Cash Settlement Amount. Upon an Exchange, a number of shares of Class B Common Stock belonging to the exchanging Member equal to the number of Common Units Exchanged shall automatically be cancelled. Notwithstanding the
3 |
foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may refuse to Exchange any Common Units issued upon exercise of warrants if the Election of Exchange with respect to the Common Units issued upon exercise of such warrants is not delivered to GreenSky and the Company within 30 days following the issuance of the Common Units.
(b) A Member shall exercise its right to Exchange Common Units and have shares of Class B Common Stock cancelled as set forth in Section 2.1(a) above by delivering to GreenSky and to the Company a written election of exchange in the form of Exhibit A hereto (an “Election of Exchange”), duly executed by such Member or such Member’s duly authorized attorney in respect of the Common Units and Class B Common Stock to be Exchanged and canceled, as the case may be, delivered during normal business hours in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 3.2.
(c) Upon the surrender for Exchange of the applicable Common Units and instructions or stock powers representing a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock in the manner provided in this Article II, if the Class A Common Stock is eligible for the depository and book-entry services of The Depository Trust Company, the Company will, subject to Section 2.4 below, deliver or cause to be delivered within three Trading Days the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such exchanging Member through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such exchanging Member. Otherwise, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered within three Trading Days at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Class A Common Stock or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Class A Common Stock, at the principal executive offices of GreenSky, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon such Exchange, registered in the name of the relevant exchanging Member or its designee.
(d) From time-to-time, if a Member in good faith believes that it may Exchange Common Units and desires to determine in advance whether the Company will elect to satisfy an Exchange with the Cash Settlement Amount pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(y), then the Member may request in writing in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 3.2 that the Company advise it in advance of its decision through delivery of a cash election substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Such cash election shall be binding upon the Company with respect to any Election of Exchange received by GreenSky and the Company prior to the earlier of (i) 60 days following its delivery to the Member, or (ii) the end of the Company’s then current fiscal year. If the Company does not deliver such notice of its cash election within 5 Business Days of GreenSky’s and the Company’s receipt of such Member’s request, the Company shall forfeit the right to satisfy such Exchange with the Cash Settlement Amount during the time period specified above.
(e) Upon receiving an Election of Exchange from a Member, the Company may elect to cause GreenSky to effect the Exchange under Section 2.1(a) and deliver to the Member the number of Class A Shares or the Cash Settlement Amount that such Member is entitled to receive in the Exchange, in which event the Member shall deliver to GreenSky the Common Units being surrendered in the Exchange. In all other cases, the Company shall effect the Exchange and, at the time of the Closing of any such Exchange, unless provided for otherwise, GreenSky shall contribute to the Company the number of Class A Shares or the Cash
4 |
Settlement Amount that such Member is entitled to receive in the Exchange and GreenSky shall be issued Common Units in an amount equal to the value of its contribution to the Company (adjusted appropriately to take into account the cash, if any, on the balance sheet of GreenSky at the time of the Exchange).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Member may Exchange Common Units pursuant to Section 2.1(a) during the 180 day period after the date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell Class A Common Stock in the IPO, unless such Member has executed the Lock-Up Agreement with the Underwriters in the IPO.
SECTION 2.2. Class A Common Stock to be Issued.
(a) GreenSky shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be deliverable upon the Exchange of all outstanding shares of Common Units; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the Exchange of the Common Units by delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock that are held in the treasury of GreenSky or any of its subsidiaries or by delivery of purchased shares of Class A Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of GreenSky or any subsidiary thereof). GreenSky and the Company covenant that all Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and that upon delivery of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange, good and valid title to such shares of Class A Common Stock, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities, and claims other than those created by the Member or holder.
(b) The Company and GreenSky shall at all times ensure that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the Company and GreenSky and the consummation by each of the Company and GreenSky of the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation, the issuance of the Class A Common Stock) have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or corporate action, as the case may be, on the part of the Company and GreenSky, including, but not limited to, all actions necessary to ensure that the acquisition of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby, to the fullest extent of GreenSky’s board of directors’ power and authority and to the extent permitted by law, shall not be subject to any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination,” “fair price” or other form of anti-takeover laws and regulations of any jurisdiction that may purport to be applicable to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c) Without in any way reducing the obligations of GreenSky under the preceding sentence, in the event that any Exchange in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration under the Securities Act has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the Member requesting such Exchange, GreenSky and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such Exchange pursuant to any reasonably available exemption from such registration requirements. GreenSky and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Class A Common Stock to be delivered upon an
5 |
Exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange upon which the outstanding Class A Common Stock may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery.
SECTION 2.3. Adjustment. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is: (a) any subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Common Stock; (b) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Common Units and the Class B Common Stock; (c) any repurchase by GreenSky of Class A Common Stock using cash on the balance sheet of GreenSky, which cash was not received pursuant to a redemption by the Company of an equivalent number of Common Units; or (d) any purchase by GreenSky of Common Units, which purchase was funded by cash on the balance sheet of GreenSky, which cash was not received by GreenSky in a public offering of an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock nor in a redemption by the Company of Common Units. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, an exchanging Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such exchanging Member would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction.
SECTION 2.4. Expenses. GreenSky, the Company and each exchanging Member shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated, except that the Company shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Member that elected the Exchange, then such Member and/or the person in whose name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to the Company the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
SECTION 2.5. Conflicts. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Member shall not be entitled to Exchange Common Units to the extent that such Exchange would be prohibited by law; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the rights and remedies of any Member. For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchange shall be deemed to be prohibited by law pertaining to the registration of
6 |
securities if such securities have been so registered or if any exemption from such registration requirements is reasonably available.
SECTION 2.6. Other Exchange Procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the board of directors of GreenSky shall determine in good faith that additional restrictions on Exchange are necessary so that the Company is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code, GreenSky or the Company may impose such additional reasonable restrictions on Exchange as the board of directors of GreenSky has determined in good faith to be so necessary based on advice of counsel.
ARTICLE III
SECTION 3.1. Additional Members. To the extent a Member validly transfers any or all of such holder’s Common Units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock to another person in a transaction in accordance with, and not in contravention of, the LLC Agreement or any other agreement or agreements with GreenSky or any of its subsidiaries to which a transferring Member may be party, then such transferee (each, a “Permitted Transferee”) shall have the right to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, whereupon such Permitted Transferee shall become a Member hereunder.

SECTION 3.6. Amendment and Termination. This Agreement (including any annexes, schedules or supplements hereto) may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified only in writing by the Company and a majority in interest of the Members (other than GreenSky and its subsidiaries) in accordance with their holdings of Common Units; provided that no amendment may adversely affect the rights of a Member (other than GreenSky and its subsidiaries) in any material respect without the written consent of such Member.

The parties shall report (i) any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale of the Common Units by a Member to GreenSky pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code, and no party shall take a contrary position on any income tax return, amendment thereof or communication with a taxing authority except upon (i) a contrary final determination by a taxing authority, or (ii) the advice of legal counsel or a nationally-recognized accounting firm that, based on a change in applicable law, the above tax reporting position does not meet a more likely than not standard or otherwise requires the Company to disclose such position or create a reserve pursuant to applicable accounting principles. Further, in connection with any Exchange consummated hereunder, the Company and/or GreenSky shall provide the exchanging Member with all reasonably necessary information to enable the exchanging Member to file its income tax returns for the taxable year that includes the Exchange, including information with respect to Code Section 751 assets (including relevant information regarding “unrealized receivables” or “inventory items”) and Section 743(b) basis adjustments as soon as practicable and in all events within 60 days following the close of such taxable year (and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide estimates of such information within 90 days of the applicable Exchanges).

The Company may at its sole discretion reduce the Stock Amount or the Cash Settlement Amount paid to a Member in an Exchange in an amount that corresponds to the amount of the required withholding described in the immediately preceding sentence and all such amounts shall be treated as having been paid to such Member.
SECTION 3.12. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
SECTION 3.13. Independent Nature of Members’ Rights and Obligations. The obligations of each Member hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Member, and no Member shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
10 |
of any other Member hereunder. The decision of each Member to enter into to this Agreement has been made by such Member independently of any other Member. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Member pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Members as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Members are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby and GreenSky acknowledges that the Members are not acting in concert or as a group, and GreenSky will not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 3.14. Other Agreements. Neither GreenSky nor the Company shall enter into any contract, mortgage, loan or other agreement that prohibits or restricts (a) GreenSky or the Company from performing their specific obligations under this Agreement or (b) a Member from exercising its rights under this Agreement to effect an Exchange, except, in either case, with the written consent of each such Member affected by the prohibition or restriction, or to the extent such prohibition or restriction affects all Members (other than GreenSky and its subsidiaries) on a pro rata basis, with the written consent of a majority in interest of such affected Members (other than GreenSky and its subsidiaries) in accordance with their holdings of Common Units.
SECTION 3.15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Georgia.
