(a)                Issuance of Award. The Partnership hereby issues to the Participant [·] LTIP Units, effective as of August 23, 2022 (the “Grant Date”) subject to the vesting and other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement. This Award is issued pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and in consideration of the Participant’s agreement to provide services to or for the benefit of the Partnership. If not already a Partner, the Partnership hereby admits the Participant as a Partner of the Partnership on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership and the Participant acknowledge and agree that the LTIP Units are hereby issued to the Participant for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership in his or her capacity as a Partner or in anticipation of the Participant becoming a Partner. Upon receipt of the Award, the Participant shall, automatically and without further action on his or her part, be deemed to be a party to, signatory of, and bound by the Partnership Agreement. At the request of the Partnership, the Participant shall execute the Partnership Agreement or a joinder or counterpart signature page thereto.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this grant of LTIP Units shall vest in full only upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event prior to August 25, 2024, provided that Participant remains continuously employed with the Company, the Partnership or an Affiliate on the date of the Liquidity Event, unless the Participant is terminated by the Company, the Partnership and such Affiliate without Cause or resigns for Good Reason within one hundred and eighty (180) days of a Liquidity Event, in which case, the LTIP Units shall vest in full upon such Liquidity Event.  None of the LTIP Units shall vest unless these conditions have been met, including, for the avoidance of doubt, upon a Qualifying Termination prior to a Liquidity Event.

As of the Grant Date and in accordance with Section 18.4 of the Partnership Agreement, the LTIP Units shall be entitled to the full distribution payable on Common Units outstanding, which may be made from time to time (if applicable, assuming the LTIP Units were held for the entire period to which such distributions relate). All distributions paid with respect to the LTIP Units shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid whether the underlying LTIP Units are vested or unvested.  At the Administrator’s discretion, distributions may be paid in the form of additional LTIP Units.

Any permitted transferee of the Award or the LTIP Units shall take such Award or LTIP Units subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement.  Any such permitted transferee must, upon the request of the Partnership, agree to be bound by the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement, and shall execute the same and such other documents and perform such further acts in connection with the same at the Partnership’s or the Company’s request, and must agree to such other waivers, limitations, and restrictions as the Partnership or the Company may reasonably require.  Any Transfer of the Award or LTIP Units which is not made in compliance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

 

(b)               Without the consent of the Administrator (which it may give or withhold in its sole discretion), the Participant shall not Transfer any Unvested LTIP Units or any portion of the Award attributable to such Unvested LTIP Units (or any securities into which such Unvested LTIP Units are converted or exchanged), other than by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution (the “Transfer Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Transfer Restrictions shall not apply to any Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units or of the Award to the Partnership or the Company.

 

 3.2.          Covenants, Representations and Warranties. The Participant hereby represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges, and agrees on behalf of the Participant and his or her spouse, if applicable, that:

 

(a)                Investment.  The Participant is holding the Award and the LTIP Units for the Participant’s own account, and not for the account of any other Person.  The Participant is holding the Award and the LTIP Units for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities.

  3  

(b)               Relation to the Partnership. The Participant is presently an Employee or is otherwise providing services to or for the benefit of the Company, the Partnership or an Affiliate, and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business of the Partnership.

 

(c)                Access to Information. The Participant has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Partnership with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial conditions, and results of operations of the Partnership.

 

(d)               Registration. The Participant understands that the LTIP Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the LTIP Units cannot be transferred by the Participant unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Partnership has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the LTIP Units under the Securities Act. The Partnership has made no representations, warranties, or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Securities Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, will be available. If an exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it will not be available until at least six months from issuance of the Award, and then, not unless the terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied in full to the satisfaction of the Partnership in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(e)                Public Trading. None of the Partnership’s securities are presently publicly traded, and the Partnership has made no representations, covenants or agreements as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.

 

(f)                Tax Advice. The Partnership has made no warranties or representations to the Participant with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to the decision of whether to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), and the Participant is in no manner relying on the Partnership or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. Participant hereby recognizes that the Internal Revenue Service has proposed regulations under Sections 83 and 704 of the Code that may affect the proper treatment of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes.  In the event that those proposed regulations are finalized, the Participant hereby agrees to cooperate with the Partnership in amending this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, and to take such other action as may be required to conform to such regulations. Participant hereby further recognizes that the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that would change the federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of LTIP Units.  The Participant is advised to consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to such tax consequences and his or her ownership of the LTIP Units.

 

 3.3.          Capital Account. The Participant shall make no contribution of capital to the Partnership in connection with the Award and, as a result, the Participant’s Capital Account balance in the Partnership immediately after his or her receipt of the LTIP Units shall be equal to zero, unless the Participant was a Partner in the Partnership prior to such issuance, in which case the Participant’s Capital Account balance shall not be increased as a result of his or her receipt of the LTIP Units.

  4  

 3.4.          Section 83(b) Election. The Participant covenants that the Participant shall make a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code (and any comparable election in the state of the Participant’s residence) with respect to the LTIP Units covered by the Award, and the Partnership hereby consents to the making of such election(s).  In connection with such election, the Participant shall promptly provide a copy of such election to the Partnership.  Instructions for completing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code and a form of election under Section 83(b) of the Code are attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Participant represents that the Participant has consulted any tax advisor(s) that the Participant deems advisable in connection with the filing of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code and similar state tax provisions.  The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s or the Partnership’s, to timely file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (and any comparable state election), even if the Participant requests that the Company or the Partnership, or any representative of the Company or the Partnership, make such filing on the Participant’s behalf. The Participant should consult his or her tax advisor to determine if there is a comparable election to file in the state of his or her residence.

 

 3.5.          Ownership Information. The Participant hereby covenants that so long as the Participant holds any LTIP Units, at the request of the Partnership, the Participant shall disclose to the Partnership in writing such information relating to the Participant’s ownership of the LTIP Units as the Partnership reasonably believes to be necessary or desirable to ascertain in order to comply with the Code or the requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.

 

 3.6.          Execution and Return of Documents and Certificates. At the Company’s or the Partnership’s request, the Participant hereby agrees to promptly execute, deliver and return to the Partnership any and all documents or certificates that the Company or the Partnership deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the cancellation and forfeiture of the Unvested LTIP Units and the portion of the Award attributable to the Unvested LTIP Units, and/or to effectuate the transfer or surrender of such Unvested LTIP Units and portion of the Award to the Partnership.

 

 3.7.          Taxes.  The Partnership and the Participant intend that (a) the LTIP Units be treated as a “profits interest” as defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27, as clarified by Revenue Procedure 2001-43, (b) the issuance of such units not be a taxable event to the Partnership or the Participant as provided in such revenue procedure, and (c) the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement be interpreted consistently with such intent.  In furtherance of such intent, effective immediately prior to the issuance of the LTIP Units, the Partnership may revalue all Partnership assets to their respective gross fair market values, and make the resulting adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Partners, in each case as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.  The Company, the Partnership or any Affiliate may withhold from the Participant’s wages, or require the Participant to pay to such entity, any applicable withholding or employment taxes resulting from the issuance of the Award hereunder, from the vesting or lapse of any restrictions imposed on, or payment with respect to, the Award, or from the ownership or disposition of the LTIP Units.

 

 3.8.          Remedies.  The Participant shall be liable to the Partnership for all costs and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, resulting from a disposition of the Award or the LTIP Units in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or the Partnership Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant agrees that the Partnership shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of the obligations of the Participant under this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement and immediate injunctive relief in the event any action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the same. The Participant hereby waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law available to the Partnership in connection with the same.

  5  

 3.9.          Restrictive Legends.  Certificates evidencing the LTIP Units, to the extent such certificates are issued, may bear such restrictive legends as the Partnership and/or the Partnership’s counsel may deem necessary or advisable under applicable law or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following legends or any legends similar thereto:

 

“The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  Any transfer of such securities will be invalid unless a Registration Statement under the Securities Act is in effect as to such transfer or in the opinion of counsel for Mobile Infra Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Partnership”) such registration is unnecessary in order for such transfer to comply with the Securities Act.”

 

“The securities represented hereby are subject to forfeiture, transferability and other restrictions as set forth in (i) a written agreement with the Partnership and (ii) the  Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, in each case, as has been and as may in the future be amended (or amended and restated) from time to time, and such securities may not be sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to the provisions of such documents.”

 

 3.10.      Restrictions on Public Sale by the Participant.  To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, the Participant agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of the LTIP Units or any similar security of the Company or the Partnership, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the 14 days prior to, and for a period of up to 90 days beginning on, the date of the pricing of any public or private debt or equity securities offering by the Company or the Partnership (except as part of such offering), if and to the extent requested in writing by the Partnership or the Company in the case of a non-underwritten public or private offering or if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters (or initial purchaser or initial purchasers, as the case may be) and consented to by the Partnership or the Company, which consent may be given or withheld in the Partnership’s or the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, in the case of an underwritten public or private offering (such agreement to be in the form of a lock-up agreement provided by the Company, the Partnership, the managing underwriter or underwriters, or the initial purchaser or initial purchasers, as the case may be).

 

ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS
