AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT
Section 1.1 Amendment of Section 1.1. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read:
Section 1.1 Exchange of Membership Interests. Immediately prior to the pricing of the IPO, or at such earlier time as determined by the Partnership, each of the Transferors, severally and not jointly, shall contribute and transfer to the Partnership, and the Partnership shall acquire from each of them, free and clear of all claims, pledges, liens or other encumbrances, all of the FSM Interests owned by such Transferor, and, in exchange therefor, the Partnership shall issue to each such Transferor a number of LP Interests representing the percentage of the total aggregate outstanding LP Interests as set forth next to such Transferor’s name on Exhibit A (the “Exchange”), which LP Interests shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership. Upon consummation of the Exchange, (a) each of the Transferors shall (i) be withdrawn from, and shall cease to be a member of, Fifth Street Management, (ii) cease to own, or have any rights with respect to or in respect of, the FSM Interests and (iii) be admitted to the Partnership as a limited partner and (b) the Partnership shall be admitted to Fifth Street Management as the sole member thereof. Each of the Transferors agrees that until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, such Transferor shall not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of his or her FSM Interests, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Each of the Transferors covenants and agrees that it shall execute and deliver to Fifth Street Management and the Internal Revenue Service a timely, valid election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, no Transferor shall be obligated to consummate the Exchange unless, and the Exchange obligation of the Transferors shall be expressly conditioned upon, the implied value of the Partnership based on the pricing of the IPO is $800,000,000 or greater.
Section 1.2 Addition of Call Holders. Each of the parties hereto agree that the Xxxxxxxxxx Family 2012 Trust and the Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx 2012 Trust are added as “Call Holders,” as such term is defined in Section 2.2 of the Agreement. The Call Option shall be exercisable by the Call Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of LP Interests held directly and indirectly (other than through another Call Holder) by the Call Holders.
