6
Termination Date, to sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase (subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof), on one occasion from Executive, all (or any portion) of Executive’s Class A Units and Vested Units at a price per Unit equal to Fair Market Value (measured as of the purchase date); provided that the exercise of such right may be delayed by the Company to the extent any such delay is necessary to avoid the application of adverse accounting treatment to the Company.
(b) If Executive or Executive’s Family Group, as applicable, desires to exercise its option to require the Company to repurchase Class A Units and Vested Units pursuant to Section 4.1(a), Executive or Executive’s Family Group, as applicable, shall send written notice to the Company setting forth Executive’s or Executive’s Family Group, as applicable, intention to sell all of his or their Class A Units and Vested Units, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.1(a) (the “Put Notice”). Subject to the provisions of Section 5, the closing of the purchase shall take place at the principal office of the Company on a date specified by the Company no later than the 60th day after the giving of such notice.

(ii) Termination of Service Other than for Cause. If Executive’s service with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Cause, the purchase price per Unit will be Fair Market Value (measured as of the purchase date).
(b) If the Company desires to exercise its option to purchase such Units and Vested Units pursuant to Section 4.2(a), the Company shall, not later than 181 days after the Termination Date, send written notice to Executive of its intention to purchase such Units, specifying the number of Units to be purchased (the “Call Notice”). Subject to the provisions of Section 5, the closing of the purchase shall take place at the principal office of the Company on a date specified by the Company no later than the 30th day after the giving of the Call Notice.

Notwithstanding the anything herein to the contrary, prior to the payment of the purchase price under this Section 5.1, Executive or Executive’s Family Group may withdraw the Units subject to the put option described in Section 4.1.
5.3 Payment for Units. If at any time the Company elects to purchase any Units pursuant to Section 4, unless otherwise provided for herein, the Company shall pay the purchase price for the Units it purchases (i) first, by the cancellation of any indebtedness owing from Executive to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) then, by the Company’s delivery of a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds for the remainder of the purchase price, if any, against delivery of the certificates or other instruments representing the Units so purchased, duly endorsed.
