Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any Distribution (for avoidance of doubt, not including any Liquidating Distribution to the extent any Unvested Incentive Unit would not become a Vested Incentive Unit immediately prior to consummation of the corresponding Liquidity Event) that otherwise would be made with respect to any Unvested Incentive Unit pursuant to SectionΒ 4.2(d) (if such Unvested Incentive Unit were vested) shall be treated as distributed for purposes of SectionΒ 4.2(d) but shall be held in reserve by HoldingsΒ LLC or its Subsidiaries (the βReserve Amountβ) until such Unvested Incentive Unit either (i)Β vests (unless a

SectionΒ 5.1 Effect of Dissociation. No Member who is the subject of a Dissociation (a βDissociated Memberβ), whether or not such Dissociation was a Voluntary Dissociation or an Involuntary Dissociation, shall have a right to require the repurchase of such Memberβs Units. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, immediately upon the occurrence of a Dissociation of a Member, to the extent that such Memberβs Units are not repurchased, the Dissociated Member or, as applicable, the successor-in-interest of such Dissociated Member, shall not become or be deemed to be a Member and shall instead be a Holder with respect to such Units (provided, however, such successor may become a Member if the procedures of SectionΒ 9.1(f) are followed and the conditions therein are satisfied), and neither
Β
-23-
the Dissociated Member nor the successor Holder shall be entitled vote on any matter before the Members unless and until admitted as a Member pursuant to SectionΒ 9.1(f). For the purposes of calculating any vote of the Members, any Units held by a Dissociated Member (or such Dissociated Memberβs successor) shall be excluded from such determination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as such Dissociated Member (or its successor), continues to be a Holder with respect to any Unit, such Person shall continue to be bound by the terms and restrictions of this Agreement.
SectionΒ 5.2 Investor Repurchase Rights. From and after JanuaryΒ 4, 2018, at the request from time to time of (a)Β the ClassΒ A Majority, or (b)Β the Holders of ClassΒ B Preferred and/or ClassΒ C Preferred representing a majority of the aggregate Universal Percentages represented by such classes and series of Units (a βBC Preferred Majorityβ), HoldingsΒ LLC (i)Β shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of such class(es) or series of Units of the opportunity to join such request (which notice shall in any event be given no later than thirty (30)Β days after the request for such repurchase) and (ii)Β shall repurchase (x)Β the outstanding ClassΒ A Units held by Holders requesting redemption, in the case of a request of ClassΒ A Majority (the βClassΒ A Repurchase Rightβ), (y)Β the outstanding ClassΒ B Preferred and/or ClassΒ C Preferred held by Holders requesting redemption, in the case of a request of the BC Preferred Majority (the βBC Repurchase Rightβ), in each case at a repurchase price equal to the Repurchase Value thereof. Upon receipt of such request, HoldingsΒ LLC shall within ninety (90)Β days engage an investment bank reasonably satisfactory to the ClassΒ A Majority or the BC Preferred Majority, as applicable (including all classes for which a repurchase right is exercised under this SectionΒ 5.2) to advise HoldingsΒ LLC with respect to a recapitalization, financing, or similar transaction, or, in the event of exercise of both the ClassΒ A Repurchase Right and the BC Repurchase Right, a Sale of HoldingsΒ LLC, sufficient to fund the repurchase of all such Units at the Repurchase Value; provided, that, if the ClassΒ A Repurchase Right is exercised but the BC Repurchase Right is not exercised, then Members holding ClassΒ B Preferred and/or ClassΒ C Preferred may elect, by delivery of written notice to HoldingsΒ LLC and the Holders of ClassΒ A Units within sixty (60)Β days after the exercise of the ClassΒ A Repurchase Right, for the ClassΒ B Preferred and/or ClassΒ C Preferred held thereby to be redeemed in connection with the redemption of the ClassΒ A Units in such recapitalization, financing, or similar transaction. HoldingsΒ LLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such a recapitalization and repurchase within one hundred eighty (180)Β days of engaging such investment banker, and in any event HoldingsΒ LLC shall consummate the repurchase of the Units requested for repurchase at a repurchase price equal to the Repurchase Value thereof in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds within one year after the exercise of the ClassΒ A Repurchase Right and/or BC Repurchase Right, as applicable; provided, that, if the funds of HoldingsΒ LLC and its Subsidiaries legally available for repurchase in accordance with the ClassΒ A Repurchase Right and/or BC Repurchase Right, as applicable, then (without limiting HoldingsΒ LLCβs obligation hereunder or curing any failure not to fully repurchase) those funds which are legally available shall be paid to the Holders of Units to be redeemed (and such Units shall be redeemed) in allocations and priorities in accordance with SectionΒ 4.2, as if such redemptions were payments of Distributions hereunder, and at any time thereafter when additional funds of HoldingsΒ LLC and its Subsidiaries are legally available for repurchases in accordance with the ClassΒ A Repurchase Right and/or BC Repurchase Right, as applicable, such funds shall be paid to the Holders of the remaining Units to be redeemed (and such Units shall be redeemed) pursuant to the same allocations and priorities.

SectionΒ 5.3 Repurchases of Incentive Units upon Certain Events. If any Holder of Incentive Units (a βSubject Incentive Holderβ) ceases to provide services (as an officer, employee, manager, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise) to HoldingsΒ LLC and its Subsidiaries, then all Unvested Incentive Units held thereby shall immediately upon such termination be deemed forfeit, automatically and without any consideration or action on the part of any Person, and the Vested Incentive Units held thereby (the βSubject Incentive Interestsβ) held by such Subject Incentive Holder may be repurchased or forfeited as set forth in this SectionΒ 5.3.
(a) Incentive Repurchase Price. If such termination of services occurs in connection with a Cause termination or removal or a Resignation (other than a Resignation For Good Reason), then all Subject Incentive Interests shall be subject to repurchase at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (i)Β the initial consideration (if any) for the Vested Incentive Units which was delivered to HoldingsΒ LLC by such Subject Incentive Holder pursuant to the applicable Incentive Agreement(s) and (ii)Β the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Vested Incentive Units. In the event of any other termination of services (including, for the avoidance of doubt, due to the death or Disability or upon a Retirement or a Resignation For Good Reason), all Subject Incentive Interests shall be subject to repurchase at a purchase price equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Incentive Units as of the date of repurchase.
(b) Incentive Repurchase Election. Upon a determination of the Board, HoldingsΒ LLC shall exercise its repurchase rights with respect to Subject Incentive Interests by delivering notice of such repurchase election to the Subject Incentive Holder within 12 months of such termination of services (or, if such repurchase is prohibited under the terms of indebtedness of HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries during such 12-month period, within one month of the end of such restriction for so long as HoldingsΒ LLC has used commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of such prohibition), and, upon delivery of such notice to the Subject Incentive Holder, the Subject Incentive Holder (and all Permitted Transferees thereof) shall be obligated to execute and deliver a customary equityholder release and repurchase agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Board) and sell to HoldingsΒ LLC all Subject Incentive Interests held thereby, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, at a repurchase price determined in accordance with SectionΒ 5.3(a).
(c) Incentive Repurchase Closing. A closing of the purchase of Subject Incentive Interests pursuant to this SectionΒ 5.3 shall occur on a date not later than 60 days after HoldingsΒ LLC delivers the relevant notice of election pursuant to SectionΒ 5.3(b). Upon the closing, each holders of the Subject Incentive Interests shall deliver the documentation contemplated by SectionΒ 5.3(b), and HoldingsΒ LLC shall deliver to the Subject Incentive Holder (for itself and on
Β
-25-
behalf of any other holders of the Subject Incentive Interests) cash in an amount equal to the repurchase price determined in accordance with SectionΒ 5.3(a). A repurchase closing shall be deemed consummated if HoldingsΒ LLC makes available the consideration payable therefor at its principal place of business, notwithstanding any failure of the holders of the Subject Incentive Interests to deliver the documentation contemplated by SectionΒ 5.3(b), but no such closing shall relieve such holders of the obligation to deliver such documentation in accordance with this SectionΒ 5.3.
SectionΒ 5.4 Other Repurchases. Except as set forth in SectionΒ 5.2 and subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, Units (other than Incentive Units) held by Holders shall not be subject to redemption, repurchase or forfeiture, except as otherwise approved by the unanimous determination of the Board and prior written consent of such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, HoldingsΒ LLC may, and may permit any of HoldingsΒ LLCβs Subsidiaries to, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire or cancel any Units pursuant to an agreement with the Holder of such Units that has been approved by the unanimous determination of the Board; provided that, except for repurchases pursuant to SectionΒ 5.2 or SectionΒ 9.2, participation in any such purchase or acquisition of Units by HoldingsΒ LLC shall be offered to all Members on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the aggregate Universal Percentage of Units held thereby).
SectionΒ 5.5 Forfeiture of Incentive Units. Without limiting SectionΒ 3.4(b), Incentive Units may be subject to vesting, forfeiture and/or repurchase as set forth in any applicable Incentive Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise set forth in any applicable Incentive Agreement, and unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion, immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of a Liquidity Event, any Incentive Units (whether held by the original Holder thereof or one or more of such Holderβs Transferees, other than HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries or Transferees acquiring such Units pursuant to SectionΒ 9.3) that are subject to vesting pursuant to any Incentive Agreement but which at the time of a such Liquidity Event remain unvested shall automatically (without any action by the Holder or any of the Holderβs Transferees) be forfeited to HoldingsΒ LLC and deemed canceled.
SectionΒ 5.6 Legacy Options. Options to purchase SeriesΒ B4 Units and options to purchase SeriesΒ C3 Units issued pursuant to and in accordance with SectionΒ 3.3 of the Contribution Agreement (βLegacy Optionsβ) shall not be deemed to be Incentive Units for the purposes of this Agreement. Vesting and repurchase rights relating to such Legacy Options shall be governed by the terms of the option plan and grants relating to them.

ARTICLEΒ IX
TRANSFERS AND OTHER EVENTS
SectionΒ 9.1 Transfers in General.
(a) Permitted Transfers.
(i) Prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, no Holder may Transfer Units (or Unit Equivalents) or any portion thereof owned by such Holder except (A)Β to a Permitted Transferee, (B)Β in compliance with the provisions of SectionΒ 9.2 and (if applicable) SectionΒ 9.3, (C)Β in connection with an Approved Sale pursuant to SectionΒ 9.5 or a change in business form pursuant to SectionΒ 9.4, or (D)Β pursuant to SectionΒ 5.3.
(ii) Notwithstanding clauseΒ (A) of SectionΒ 9.1(a)(i), no Holder shall, other than with the approval of the Board or in an Approved Sale, Transfer Units or Unit
Β
-43-
Equivalents to any Person whose activities are competitive with one or more lines of business or operations of HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries (as determined by the Board in good faith), or any Affiliate of any such Person (each a βCompetitorβ).
(iii) Notwithstanding clauseΒ (A) of SectionΒ 9.1(a)(i), (A)Β each Holder that completes a Transfer of Units (or Unit Equivalents) to a Permitted Transferee (other than to a Permitted Transferee under clauseΒ (iii) of the definition thereof) shall retain all voting control over any Units that are the subject of such Transfer and (B)Β any event involving such transferor Subject Holder which would have triggered obligations of the transferor (including, to the extent applicable, obligations with respect to repurchase, redemption or forfeiture or the loss of certain rights, e.g. under SectionΒ 5.1, SectionΒ 5.3, SectionΒ 9.2 or SectionΒ 9.3), shall be deemed to have the same effect upon the Units held by the Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Notwithstanding clauseΒ (A) of SectionΒ 9.1(a)(i), no Holder may Transfer to any Permitted Transferee any interest in a Unit (e.g., a Unit Equivalent) without a Transfer Approval.
(v) If following a Transfer by a Subject Holder to a Permitted Transferee, there occurs, as applicable, either (A)Β an amendment of any Permitted Transferee governing document, trust or exercise of a power of appointment under any Permitted Transferee trust in such a manner that the transferee would no long qualify as a Permitted Transferee of such Subject Holder or (B)Β the direct or indirect admission of new owners to a Permitted Transferee corporation, limited liability company or other estate-planning entity or the admission or replacement of a general partner of a Permitted Transferee partnership Holder, then in each case such amendment or admission shall be deemed a Transfer, subject to the restrictions herein.
(b) Permitted Transfers are not Waivers or Amendments. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the rights or obligations of HoldingsΒ LLC, any of its Subsidiaries, any Executive Member, any Manager or any of their Affiliates pursuant to any Incentive Agreement, including provisions thereof regarding the purchase, sale or Transfer of Units or Unit Equivalents, and the terms of such Incentive Agreement shall govern in the event of any inconsistency herewith.
(c) Effect on Voting Rights. Except for voting rights required to be retained by Holders upon Transfer to a Permitted Transferee under SectionΒ 9.1(a)(iii), a Transfer by a Holder shall eliminate such Holderβs power and right to vote or consent (in proportion to the extent of the interest Transferred) on any matter submitted to the Members or any group of Members with respect to Transferred Units. A Transfer shall not otherwise eliminate the Memberβs entitlement to any rights associated with the Memberβs remaining Units and shall not cause the Member to be released from any liability to HoldingsΒ LLC solely as a result of the Transfer.
Β
-44-
(d) Transfer Documentation. A Transfer shall be valid hereunder only if the transferring Member (the βAssignorβ) and the recipient (the βAssigneeβ) each execute and deliver to HoldingsΒ LLC such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Board to confirm the agreement of the Assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, which shall include at least an assignment from the Assignor to the Assignee describing the Units proposed for Transfer and (in the case of an Assignee that is not already a Member) a joinder to this Agreement (including an acknowledgement that the Assignee shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Assignor (including, as applicable, all obligations pursuant to the provisions of this ArticleΒ IX)).
(e) Effect on HoldingsΒ LLC; Rights and Obligations of Assignee. A Transfer by a Member or other Person shall not itself dissolve HoldingsΒ LLC or entitle the Assignee to become a Member or exercise any rights of a Member. An Assignee pursuant to a Transfer that is not admitted as a Member pursuant to SectionΒ 9.1(f) shall not be entitled to vote until admission as Member pursuant to SectionΒ 9.1(f) but shall nevertheless be subject to all of the obligations of the Assignor as if Assignee held all rights and obligations of the Units Transferred as a Member. If the Assignee later becomes a Member, the voting rights associated with the Units held by the Assignee shall be restored and be held by such new Member.
(f) Admission of Assignee as a Member. Any Assignee to whom Units are Transferred in accordance with this SectionΒ 9.1 shall, only upon the satisfaction of the conditions set out in SectionΒ 9.1(f)(i) and SectionΒ 9.1(f)(ii) (to the extent applicable) and SectionΒ 9.7, be admitted as a Member and succeed to the rights and obligations of Assignor with respect to the Units so Transferred. An Assignee not previously a Member shall become a Member hereunder by reason of a Transfer only upon:
(i) the prior written approval of the Board (except that such approval shall not be required in the case of any Transfer of ClassΒ A Units or Units held by any Institutional Investors or Transfer to a Permitted Transferee), which shall not be unreasonably withheld and
(ii) satisfaction of all of the following conditions, upon which consent and satisfaction the Assignee shall have, to the extent assigned, the rights and powers, and be subject to the restrictions and liabilities, of a Member under the Delaware Act and this Agreement, shall be liable for any obligations of the Assignor to make future capital contributions in respect of the Transferred Units but shall not be obligated for other liabilities reasonably unknown to the Assignee at the time the Assignee becomes a Member:
Β
Β | (A) | the Assignee becomes a party to this Agreement as a Member by executing a counterpart signature page as a joinder to this Agreement and executing such documents and instruments as the Board may reasonably request pursuant to SectionΒ 9.1(d); |
Β
-45-
Β | (B) | the Assignee pays or reimburses HoldingsΒ LLC for all reasonable legal, filing and publication costs that HoldingsΒ LLC incurs in connection with the admission of the Assignee as a Member; and |
Β
Β | (C) | if the Assignee is not a natural Person of legal majority, the Assignee provides HoldingsΒ LLC with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Board of the authority of the Assignee to become a Member and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
(g) Effect of Admission of Member on Assignor and HoldingsΒ LLC. Upon the admission of an Assignee as a Member, the Assignor shall cease to be a Member with respect to the Units Transferred. In any such case, the admission of the Assignee as a Member shall constitute the requisite consent of the Members to continue the business of HoldingsΒ LLC notwithstanding that such admission will cause the termination of the membership of the Assignor with respect to the Units Transferred.
SectionΒ 9.2 Right of First Offer.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this ArticleΒ IX, at least 30 days prior to any proposed Transfer of any Units, Unit Equivalents (if permitted by their terms) or other equity securities (or interests therein) of HoldingsΒ LLC (βSubject Securitiesβ) held by any Holder (excluding Transfers in a Public Sale or pursuant to SectionΒ 5.2 or Transfers to a Permitted Transferee), the transferring Holder (the βTransferring Holderβ) shall deliver a written notice (the βOffer Noticeβ) to HoldingsΒ LLC and each Major Member. The Offer Notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s) (if known), the number and type of Subject Securities to be transferred, the price and the other terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. The Transferring Holder shall not consummate such proposed Transfer until at least 30 days after the delivery of the Offer Notice, unless the parties to the Transfer have been finally determined pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.2 and (if applicable) SectionΒ 9.3 prior to the expiration of such 30-day period (the date of the first to occur of (x)Β the expiration of such 30-day period after delivery of the Offer Notice or (y)Β such final determination is referred to herein as the βAuthorization Dateβ).
(b) HoldingsΒ LLC may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Subject Securities to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Offer Notice by delivering a written notice of such election to the Transferring Holder within 15 days after the Offer Notice has been given to HoldingsΒ LLC (the βElection Periodβ). Within 15 days following delivery of the
Β
-46-
Offer Notice, HoldingsΒ LLC shall deliver written notice (the βAvailable Unit Noticeβ) to each Major Member setting forth the number and type of Subject Securities which it has elected to purchase and the number and type of Subject Securities which are available for purchase by the Major Members (βAvailable Unitsβ). Each Major Member shall then be entitled to purchase a portion of the Available Units by delivering written notice (the βAvailable Unit Purchase Noticeβ) to HoldingsΒ LLC and the Transferring Holder within 10 days following delivery of the Offer Notice setting forth the maximum number of Subject Securities of each class or series which such Major Member desires to purchase.
(c) Available Units of each class or series shall first be allocated to each such Major Member in an amount equal to the lesser of (1)Β the maximum number specified by each such Major Member in such Major Memberβs Available Unit Purchase Notice and (2)Β the product of the number of Available Units and such Major Memberβs Universal Percentage. Available Units shall thereafter be allocated to each Major Member who has not been allocated the maximum number specified in such Memberβs Available Purchase Notice (each a βRemaining Major Memberβ), each on a pro rata basis (calculated on the basis of a Remaining Major Memberβs Universal Percentage in relation to the aggregate Universal Percentages of all Remaining Major Members); provided, in each case, that no allocation to any Major Member shall be greater than the maximum number specified by each such Major Member in such Major Memberβs Available Unit Purchase Notice. Any Available Units not elected to be purchased by the end of such 10-day period shall during the immediately following five-day period be reoffered by HoldingsΒ LLC to the Major Members who have elected to purchase at least their full Universal Percentage of the Available Units and, if any of the Major Members indicates interest within said five-day period in acquiring additional Available Units in an amount in excess of the aggregate amount of Available Units remaining, such remaining Available Units will be allocated among such Major Members, each as allocated on a pro rata basis (calculated on the basis of a Remaining Major Memberβs Universal Percentage in relation to the aggregate Universal Percentages of all Remaining Major Members).
(d) If HoldingsΒ LLC and/or any of the Major Members have elected to purchase Subject Securities from the Transferring Holder under this SectionΒ 9.2, the Transfer of such Subject Securities shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to the Transferring Holder, but in any event (subject to compliance with SectionΒ 9.3, if applicable) within 15 days after the Authorization Date. If HoldingsΒ LLC and the Major Members do not elect, in the aggregate, to purchase all of the Subject Securities offered in the Offer Notice from the Transferring Holder, then, subject to compliance with SectionΒ 9.3 (if applicable), the Transferring Holder shall have the right, within the 90 days following the Authorization Date, to Transfer such Subject Securities that HoldingsΒ LLC and the Major Members have not elected to purchase to the Transferee(s) specified in the Offer Notice in the amounts specified in the Offer Notice at a price not less than the price per Subject Security specified in the Offer
Β
-47-
Notice and on other terms no more favorable in any material respect to the Transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Offer Notice. Any Subject Securities not so Transferred within such 90-day period shall be reoffered to HoldingsΒ LLC and the Major Members pursuant to this SectionΒ 9.2 prior to any subsequent Transfer.
SectionΒ 9.3 Participation Rights.
(a) The Major Members shall be entitled to participate in any Transfer of Subject Securities by a Subject Holder (excluding Transfers in a Public Sale, Management Exempt Transfers or Transfers to a Permitted Transferee, but including Transfers pursuant to SectionΒ 9.2 (other than Management Exempt Transfers pursuant thereto)). Upon determination of the number of Subject Securities offered in an Offer Notice that HoldingsΒ LLC and the Major Members (excluding such Subject Holder) do not elect, in the aggregate, to purchase (but in any event promptly after the offer period for Major Members described in SectionΒ 9.2 expires, and within 45 days after delivery of the Offer Notice), such Subject Holder shall give written notice to each Major Member describing in reasonable detail the number of Subject Securities subject to the Transfer (the βSale Unitsβ), the price and other terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer, and the identity of the prospective transferee(s) (such notice, the βSale Noticeβ). Each of the Major Members (other than the Subject Holder) shall be entitled, within 15 days following delivery of the Sale Notice, to give written notice (a βTag-Along Noticeβ) to the Subject Holder and HoldingsΒ LLC that such Major Member desires to participate in such proposed Transfer upon the price, terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice, which Tag-Along Notice shall specify the Units such Major Member desires to include in such proposed Transfer. Such participation shall be allocated among each Major Member that delivers a Tag-Along Notice (each a βParticipating Major Memberβ) on a pro rata basis (calculated on the basis of each Participating Major Memberβs Pro Rata Share relative to the aggregate Pro Rata Share of the Subject Holder and all Participating Major Members, in each case determined with respect to the Total Equity Value implied by the price offered in such proposed Transfer); provided, that in no event shall any Participating Major Member be allocated a greater number of Units than requested in such Participating Major Memberβs Tag-Along Notice. The aggregate consideration to be paid to Participating Major Members in connection with the Transfer shall be allocated among each Unit on a pro rata basis (calculated on the basis of each Unitβs Pro Rata Share relative to the Pro Rata Share of all Units to be included in such Transfer by Participating Major Members and the Subject Holder, in each case determined with respect to the Total Equity Value implied by the price offered in such proposed Transfer). If a Participating Major Member does not own Units of the same class or series as the Sale Units, such Participating Major Member will substitute in such Transfer the Units of the class or series held thereby that are closest in value to the Sale Units as measured by a Unitβs Pro Rata Share.
Β
-48-
(b) With respect to any Transfer subject to this SectionΒ 9.3, each Subject Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective Transferee(s) to the participation of the Participating Major Members as set forth herein, and no Subject Holder shall Transfer any of its Units to any prospective Transferee if such prospective Transferee(s) declines to allow the participation of the Participating Major Members on the terms provided herein, unless in connection with such Transfer, one or more of the Subject Holders or their respective Affiliates purchase (on the same terms and conditions on which such Units were to be sold to the Transferee(s)) the number and class of Units from each Participating Major Member which such Participating Major Member would have been entitled to sell pursuant to SectionΒ 9.3(a). Each Participating Major Member shall pay on a pro rata basis (as if such expenses reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the Subject Holders and Participating Major Members in such Transfer) the expenses incurred by the Subject Holder(s) in connection with such Transfer and shall be obligated to join (individually and not jointly and severally) in any indemnification or other obligations that the Subject Holder agrees to provide in connection with such Transfer; provided that unless a prospective Transferee permits a Participating Major Member to give a guarantee, letter of credit or other mechanism (which shall be dealt with on an individual basis), any escrow of proceeds of any such transaction shall be withheld in accordance the consideration to be received by each Participating Major Member and Subject Holder participating in the Transfer.
(c) To the extent the Major Members have not elected to participate in the contemplated Transfer (through notice to such effect or expiration of the 15-day period after delivery of the Sale Notice), then the Subject Holder may Transfer the Units specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable in any material respect to the Transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 90-day period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any Units held by a Subject Holder not Transferred within such 90-day period shall be subject to the provisions of this SectionΒ 9.3 upon subsequent Transfer.
(d) The provisions of SectionΒ 9.2 and this SectionΒ 9.3 shall terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.
SectionΒ 9.4 Change in Business Form. With or without a vote or consent of the Members, the Board may, upon any Initial Public Offering, and the Board shall, upon a Qualified Public Offering, elect to cause HoldingsΒ LLC to reorganize as a Delaware corporation (the βSuccessorβ) in accordance with this SectionΒ 9.4 in anticipation of registration of the common stock of such Successor. The method of effecting such reorganization, whether by conversion to or merger with and into a corporate Subsidiary of HoldingsΒ LLC or otherwise, shall (subject to the remaining provisions of this SectionΒ 9.4) be determined by the Board in its discretion; provided that HoldingsΒ LLC shall to the extent feasible under the circumstances effect any such reorganization in a manner which avoids creation of a taxable income for HoldingsΒ LLC, its Subsidiaries or any Member (including effecting the transactions described in SectionΒ 9.4(a)).
Β
-49-
(a) Each of the Members hereby agrees to take such actions as are reasonably required to effect such reorganization as shall be determined by the Board and irrevocably authorizes and appoints each of the Managers who are in office at such time as such Memberβs representative and true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to act in such Memberβs name, place and stead as contemplated in this SectionΒ 9.4 and to execute in the name and on behalf of such Member any agreement, certificate, instrument or document to be delivered by the Members in connection with any such reorganization as determined by the Board (but with such power of attorney to be exercised only in the event of the failure of such Member to comply with this SectionΒ 9.4). In connection with any such reorganization, each of the transactions described in clausesΒ (i) throughΒ (iv) of this SectionΒ 9.4(a) shall be consummated as provided below and deemed to have occurred simultaneously:
(i) The Successor shall be organized as a Delaware corporation, with customary charter and by-laws, each reasonably acceptable to the Board and the Universal Majority;
(ii) Each Unit shall (effective upon and subject to the consummation of such Initial Public Offering) convert into shares of common stock of the Successor (the βSuccessor Stockβ), and the shares of Successor Stock shall be allocated among the Holders in exchange for their respective Units such that each Holder shall receive a number of shares of Successor Stock equal to the quotient (the βQuotientβ) of (A)Β the amount such Holder would have received in respect of such Holderβs Units in a Liquidity Event at the time of the Initial Public Offering assuming a Total Equity Value implied by the Price-to-Public, in accordance with SectionΒ 4.4, divided by (B)Β the price per share at which the common stock is being offered to the public in the Initial Public Offering, in each case net of underwriting discounts and commissions (the βPrice-to-Publicβ);
(iii) The Successor shall expressly acknowledge and, as applicable, assume the obligations and liabilities of HoldingsΒ LLC, including its remaining obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Agreement (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) and all other Transaction Agreements and as otherwise described in clauseΒ (ii) of this SectionΒ 9.4(a), with such conforming changes as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the corporate status of the Successor, and in connection with such transactions and those described above the Members shall take such action as may be necessary to consolidate HoldingsΒ LLC as part of the Successor to the extent such consolidation does not occur by operation of law; and
(iv) The Successor (and HoldingsΒ LLC) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings, obtain all approvals and consents and take such other actions as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate to effectuate the reorganization contemplated by this SectionΒ 9.4.
(b) The organizational documents of the Successor and/or a stockholdersβ or other agreement, as appropriate, shall provide that the rights and
Β
-50-
obligations of the Members hereunder and under the Transaction Agreements (to the extent such rights and obligations survive consummation of an Initial Public Offering, and including the economic and other rights of each class and series of Units) shall continue to apply in accordance with the terms thereof unless the parties thereto otherwise agree in writing pursuant to the terms thereof.
(c) In the event of an Initial Public Offering, HoldingsΒ LLC and each Member shall take all necessary or desirable actions requested by the Board in connection with the consummation of such Initial Public Offering, including consenting to, voting for and waiving any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights with respect to a reorganization of HoldingsΒ LLC pursuant to the terms of this SectionΒ 9.4 and compliance with the requirements of all laws and regulatory bodies which are applicable or which have jurisdiction over such Initial Public Offering. HoldingsΒ LLC shall pay all filing fees necessary to obtain all authorizations and approvals required by the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder that are required for the consummation of the reorganization contemplated in this SectionΒ 9.4.
SectionΒ 9.5 Approved Sale.
(a) Subject to SectionΒ 6.5(g), if (at any time prior to the consummation of an Initial Public Offering) the Board, together with the Holders of ClassΒ A Units, SeriesΒ B1 Units, SeriesΒ B2 Units, SeriesΒ B3 Units, SeriesΒ C1 Units and/or SeriesΒ C2 Units representing a majority of the aggregate Universal Percentages represented by such classes and series of Units (a βPreferred Majorityβ), approves a Sale of HoldingsΒ LLC (an βApproved Saleβ), each Member (and each Person that retains voting control of any Units Transferred to a Permitted Transferee) shall take the following actions:
(i) vote for (whether at a meeting of Members or by written consent), consent to and raise no objections against, and not otherwise impede or delay, such Approved Sale;
(ii) if the Approved Sale is structured as a (i)Β merger or consolidation, each Member shall waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii)Β sale of capital, Units or other equity securities, each Member shall agree to sell all of such Memberβs capital, Units and other equity securities of HoldingsΒ LLC on the terms and conditions approved by the Board; and
(iii) take all necessary or desirable actions (in such Memberβs capacity as a Member of HoldingsΒ LLC) in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as reasonably requested by the Board, including executing and delivering any and all agreements, instruments and other documents approved by the Board and the Preferred Majority, including any applicable purchase agreement, stockholders agreement and/or
Β
-51-
indemnification and/or contribution agreement; it being understood that Institutional Investors shall not be obligated to enter into any non-competition or non-solicitation agreements or the like).
(b) The obligations of the Members with respect to the Approved Sale are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i)Β each Member shall receive, upon consummation of the Approved Sale, the same form of consideration and the same amount of consideration that such Member would have received in liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences of such class of Units and Unit Equivalents pursuant to SectionΒ 10.2 below; and (ii)Β if any Holder of a class or series of Units or Unit Equivalents are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each Holder of Units or Unit Equivalents shall be given the same option (it being understood that Excluded Holders and any other Holders as to which a privately-held acquirer does not want to offer its securities may be offered equivalent cash in lieu of unregistered securities). HoldingsΒ LLC and the Members acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this SectionΒ 9.5(b) shall apply in the case of any Sale of HoldingsΒ LLC (whether initiated or classified as an Approved Sale or otherwise).
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Members shall be severally obligated to join on a pro rata basis in any customary indemnification obligations (calculated as if such indemnification obligations reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the Members in such Approved Sale) the Board and the Preferred Majority agreed to in connection with such Approved Sale; provided that no Member shall be obligated to enter into indemnification obligations with respect to matters particular to any other Member or such other Memberβs Units and no Member shall be required to agree to indemnification obligations in excess of the proceeds received by such Member in such Approved Sale (it being understood that, although primary sale documents in an Approved Sale may provide for any indemnity, this proviso may be satisfied by means of indemnification, contribution or unit holder representative agreements among the Members); provided further that any delayed proceeds of any such sale transaction (including royalties and earn-out amounts) and, unless a prospective transferee permits a Member to give a guarantee, letter of credit or other mechanism (which shall be dealt with on an individual basis), any escrow of proceeds of any such transaction shall be allocated and withheld on a pro rata basis among all Members, calculated as if such escrow reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the Members in such Approved Sale (with it being understood that, to the extent the final amount of aggregate proceeds from any such transaction exceed that threshold of proceeds required for a Conversion Scenario (as defined in the Schedule of Class Portions), the Members shall equitably reallocate subsequently available proceeds). Each Member shall pay on a pro rata basis (calculated as if such expenses reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the Members in such Approved Sale) the expenses incurred by HoldingsΒ LLC and the Companies pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such
Β
-52-
expenses are incurred for the benefit of all Members (as reasonably determined by the Board). Expenses incurred by any Member on its own behalf (including the fees and disbursements of counsel, advisors and other Persons retained by such Holder in connection with the Approved Sale) will not be considered costs incurred for the benefit of all Members and, to the extent not paid by HoldingsΒ LLC or a Company, will be the responsibility of such Member. Each Member shall enter into any escrow, indemnification, contribution or unit holder representative agreement requested by the Board to ensure compliance with this SectionΒ 9.5.
(d) If HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any negotiation or transaction for which RuleΒ 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), the Excluded Holders shall, at the request of the Board, appoint a βpurchaser representativeβ (as such term is defined in RuleΒ 501 promulgated under the Securities Act) designated by HoldingsΒ LLC. If any Member so appoints such purchaser representative, HoldingsΒ LLC shall pay the fees of such purchaser representative. However, if any Member declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Board, such Member shall appoint another purchaser representative (reasonably acceptable to the Board), and such Member shall be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.
SectionΒ 9.6 Transfer of Restricted Securities.
(a) Notwithstanding any other condition to a Transfer set forth in this Agreement, Restricted Securities are Transferable only pursuant to (A)Β public offerings registered under the Securities Act, (B)Β RuleΒ 144 or RuleΒ 144A of the SEC (or any similar rule or rules then in force) if such rule is available, and (C)Β subject to the conditions specified in SectionΒ 9.6(b), any other legally available means of Transfer.
(b) In connection with the Transfer of any Restricted Securities (other than a Transfer described in clauseΒ (A) orΒ (B) of SectionΒ 9.6(a)), the Holder thereof shall deliver written notice to HoldingsΒ LLC describing in reasonable detail the Transfer or proposed Transfer, together with (if reasonably requested by HoldingsΒ LLC) an opinion of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx XxxxxxxxxΒ & Xxxx, PLLC, XxxxxxxxΒ & XxxxxΒ LLP or other counsel which (to HoldingsΒ LLCβs reasonable satisfaction) is knowledgeable in Securities Act matters to the effect that such Transfer of Restricted Securities may be effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act. In addition, if the Holder of the Restricted Securities delivers to HoldingsΒ LLC such a reasonably satisfactory opinion of counsel that no subsequent Transfer of such Restricted Securities shall require registration under the Securities Act, then HoldingsΒ LLC shall promptly upon such contemplated Transfer deliver new certificates for such Restricted
Β
-53-
Securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in SectionΒ 3.6. If HoldingsΒ LLC is not required to deliver new certificates for such Restricted Securities not bearing such legend, the Holder thereof shall not Transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to HoldingsΒ LLC in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this SectionΒ 9.6 and SectionΒ 3.6.
(c) Upon the request of a Holder of Restricted Securities, HoldingsΒ LLC shall promptly supply to such Holder or such Holderβs prospective transferees all information regarding HoldingsΒ LLC required to be delivered in connection with a Transfer pursuant to RuleΒ 144A of the SEC.
(d) If any Restricted Securities become eligible for sale pursuant to RuleΒ 144(k), HoldingsΒ LLC shall, upon the request of the Holder of such Restricted Securities, remove the legend set forth in SectionΒ 3.6 from the certificates representing such Restricted Securities.
SectionΒ 9.7 Required Amendments; Continuation. If and to the extent any Assignee is admitted as a Member pursuant to SectionΒ 9.1(f), the Board shall amend the Schedule of Members to reflect the admission of such Assignee as a member and the elimination of the transferor Member (or the corresponding reduction of such Memberβs interest), and (if and to the extent then required under this Agreement or by the Delaware Act) the Board shall amend this Agreement and, if required by statute, cause the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Certificate reflecting such admission and elimination (or reduction) in accordance with the Delaware Act. HoldingsΒ LLC shall deliver a copy of an updated Schedule of Members to any Member upon such Memberβs request. The admission of any Assignee as a Member pursuant to this ArticleΒ IX shall be deemed effective on the effective date of such amendment to the Schedule of Members.
SectionΒ 9.8 Resignation. No Member shall have the right to resign or withdraw as a Member without the unanimous prior written consent of the Board, which may be given or withheld in each Managerβs sole and absolute discretion, and any purported resignation or withdrawal without such prior written consent shall by void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by HoldingsΒ LLC or any other party.
SectionΒ 9.9 Void Assignment. Any Transfer by any Holder in contravention of this Agreement shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by HoldingsΒ LLC or any other Person. In the event of any Transfer in contravention of this Agreement, the purported transferee shall have no right to any profits or losses or Distributions of HoldingsΒ LLC or any other rights of a Holder.
SectionΒ 9.10 No Avoidance of Provisions. No Holder, other than an Institutional Investor, shall directly or indirectly (i)Β permit the Transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect equity or beneficial interest in such Holder or (ii)Β otherwise seek to avoid the provisions of this Agreement by issuing, or permitting the issuance of, any direct or indirect equity or beneficial interest in such Holder, in any such case in a manner which would fail to comply with this ArticleΒ IX if such Holder had Transferred Units directly.

SectionΒ 9.11 Holdback Agreement. No Holder shall effect any Public Sale of equity securities of HoldingsΒ LLC (including any Successor or any other successor-in-interest) (any such entity, as may be applicable, the βPublic Offering Vehicleβ) held by such Holder immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering of the Public Offering Vehicle, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, (i)Β during the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering of the Public Offering Vehicle, except as part of such Initial Public Offering, or (ii)Β for any Subject Holder, during the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of any subsequent underwritten registered public offering of the Public Offering Vehicle, except as part of any such underwritten registration, unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree in writing (each such 180-day or 90-day period is a βHoldback Periodβ); provided, in the case of clauseΒ (ii) of this SectionΒ 9.11, to the extent that the Investor Members or any other Purchaser of ClassΒ A-1 Units pursuant to the ClassΒ X-0 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Agreements are not subject to such restrictions, the Institutional Investors shall only be subject to the least restrictive of restrictions applicable to Investor Members or any other Purchaser of ClassΒ A-1 Units pursuant to the ClassΒ A-1 Unit Purchase Agreements. The Holdback Period shall also be extended for the minimum period of time which is necessary for a managing or co-managing underwriter of a registered offering to comply with FINRA Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation. The extension in the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein as the βHoldback Extensionβ. The Public Offering Vehicle may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of its common stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction during any Holdback Period and during any period of Holdback Extension. This SectionΒ 9.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall apply to any securities of the Successor or any other successor-in-interest of HoldingsΒ LLC, as if such successor-in-interest were HoldingsΒ LLC.

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION
SectionΒ 10.1 Dissolution. HoldingsΒ LLC shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up only on the first to occur of either:
(a) a unanimous determination of the Board,
(b) the determination of the Universal Majority, or
(c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of HoldingsΒ LLC under SectionΒ 35-5 of the Delaware Act or an administrative dissolution under SectionΒ 18-802 of the Delaware Act.
The Dissociation, death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, incapacity, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member, or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in HoldingsΒ LLC, shall not cause a dissolution of HoldingsΒ LLC, and HoldingsΒ LLC shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Β
-55-
SectionΒ 10.2 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of HoldingsΒ LLC, the Board shall act as liquidator (or may appoint one or more Members as liquidator). The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of HoldingsΒ LLC and make final distributions as provided in this SectionΒ 10.2 and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a HoldingsΒ LLC expense. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:
(a) As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator(s) shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of HoldingsΒ LLCβs assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.
(b) The liquidator(s) shall cause any notice required by law or agreement to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against HoldingsΒ LLC to be delivered as required.
(c) The liquidator(s) shall pay, satisfy or discharge from HoldingsΒ LLC assets all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of HoldingsΒ LLC (including all expenses incurred in liquidation and all debts, liabilities and obligations owed by HoldingsΒ LLC to Members) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including by the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine).
(d) The balance, if any, of HoldingsΒ LLCβs remaining assets shall be distributed to the Holders in accordance with SectionΒ 4.2.
The liquidator(s) shall cause only cash, evidences of indebtedness and other securities to be distributed in any liquidation. The distribution of cash and/or assets to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this SectionΒ 10.2 shall be deemed to constitute a complete return to such Member of his, her or its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of his, her or its interest in HoldingsΒ LLC and all HoldingsΒ LLCβs property and constitutes a compromise to which all Holders have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. The distribution of cash and/or assets to a Holder who is not a Member in accordance with the provisions of this SectionΒ 10.2 shall be deemed to constitute a complete distribution to such Holder of its interest in HoldingsΒ LLC and all HoldingsΒ LLCβs property and constitutes a compromise to which all Holders have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Holder returns funds to HoldingsΒ LLC, such Holder has no claim against any other Holder for those funds.
SectionΒ 10.3 Certificate of Cancellation. On completion of the distribution of HoldingsΒ LLC assets as provided in SectionΒ 10.2, HoldingsΒ LLC shall be deemed terminated for
Β
-56-
all purposes, and the Board shall promptly file (or cause to be filed) a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, take all actions necessary to otherwise cancel any other filings made pursuant to SectionΒ 2.1 and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate HoldingsΒ LLC.
ARTICLEΒ XI
GENERAL/MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SectionΒ 11.1 Offset. Whenever HoldingsΒ LLC is to pay any sum to any Holder, any amounts that such Holder owes to HoldingsΒ LLC or its Subsidiaries may be deducted from that sum before payment.
SectionΒ 11.2 Waiver of Certain Rights. Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to demand any Distributions or withdrawal of property from HoldingsΒ LLC (except as otherwise provided in SectionΒ 10.2) or to maintain any action for dissolution of HoldingsΒ LLC or for partition of the property of HoldingsΒ LLC.
SectionΒ 11.3 Excluded Opportunities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, HoldingsΒ LLC and each of the Holders renounces any interest or expectancy of Holdings or any Holder in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, or in being informed about, any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of, (i)Β any Manager of HoldingsΒ LLC who is not an employee or service provider (other than as a Manager) of HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii)Β any Holder of ClassΒ A Units or Institutional Investor, or any Affiliate, partner, member, manager, director, equityholder, employee, agent, representative or other related person of any such Holder, other than someone who is an employee of HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, βCovered Personsβ), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Personβs capacity as a manager of HoldingsΒ LLC.
SectionΒ 11.4 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on behalf of a Holder. If HoldingsΒ LLC is obligated to pay any amount to any governmental body or agency (or otherwise makes a payment) because of a Holderβs status or otherwise specifically attributable to a Holder (including foreign, federal, state or local withholding taxes imposed with respect to any issuance of Units or other interests to a Holder or any payments to a Holder, domestic withholding taxes with respect to foreign Persons, personal property taxes, personal property replacement taxes, unincorporated business taxes, etc.), then such Holder (the βIndemnifying Holderβ) shall indemnify HoldingsΒ LLC in full for the entire amount paid (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments), and, at the option of the Board, either:
(a) promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify HoldingsΒ LLC, the Indemnifying Holder shall make a cash payment to HoldingsΒ LLC equal to the full amount to be indemnified (provided that the amount paid shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution or satisfaction of any indebtedness owed to HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries), or
(b) HoldingsΒ LLC shall reduce Distributions that would otherwise be made to the Indemnifying Holder, until HoldingsΒ LLC has recovered the amount to be indemnified (provided that the amount of such reduction shall be deemed to have been distributed for all purposes of this Agreement).
Β
-57-
An Indemnifying Holderβs obligation to indemnify HoldingsΒ LLC under this SectionΒ 11.4 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of HoldingsΒ LLC, and for the purposes of this SectionΒ 11.4 HoldingsΒ LLC shall be treated as continuing in existence. HoldingsΒ LLC may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Indemnifying Holder under this SectionΒ 11.4, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnified amount, and shall be entitled to collect interest calculated at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus five percentage points per annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).
SectionΒ 11.5 Assurances. Each Holder, at the expense of HoldingsΒ LLC, shall execute all such certificates and other documents and shall do all such filing, recording, publishing and other acts as the Board deems reasonably appropriate to comply with the requirements of law for the operation of HoldingsΒ LLC and to comply with any laws, rules and regulations relating to the acquisition, operation or holding of the property of HoldingsΒ LLC, all pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
SectionΒ 11.6 Notices. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, any notice, demand, consent, election, offer, approval, request or other communication (collectively, for the purposes of this SectionΒ 11.6, a βnoticeβ) required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed delivered (i)Β when delivered personally; (ii)Β five business days after being sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; (iii)Β one business day after being sent by recognized overnight delivery service; or (iv)Β on the business day of delivery (or on the next subsequent business day if sent on a day that is not a business day or if sent after 3:00 p.m. recipient time on a business day) if sent by facsimile transmittal with confirmation of transmittal. A notice must be addressed to a Manager, Member or Holder, as applicable, at such Personβs last known address on the records of HoldingsΒ LLC. A notice to HoldingsΒ LLC or a notice by a person other than a Manager to the Board must be addressed to HoldingsΒ LLCβs principal office to the attention of the secretary of HoldingsΒ LLC. The secretary of HoldingsΒ LLC shall promptly distribute any such Board notice to each Manager. Any party may designate, by notice to all of the others in accordance with this SectionΒ 11.6, substitute addresses or addressees for notices, and, thereafter, notices are to be directed to those substitute addresses or addressees.
SectionΒ 11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and other Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Members relating to HoldingsΒ LLC and the Companies relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and the governance of HoldingsΒ LLC and its Subsidiaries and supersede all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the transactions
Β
-58-
contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or the governance of HoldingsΒ LLC and its Subsidiaries (including any prior operating agreements or limited liability company agreements of HoldingsΒ LLC and any stockholder agreement, voting agreement, investor rights or management agreement, registration agreement, advisory agreement or similar agreement with either of the Companies, all of which are hereby terminated and shall have no further force or effect). For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not supersede any Services Agreement between any Member and HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries.
SectionΒ 11.8 Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations hereunder or with respect to HoldingsΒ LLC is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person hereunder or with respect to HoldingsΒ LLC. A waiver under this Agreement shall be effective only by written instrument executed by the Person(s) waiving rights to which they are entitled hereunder and with express reference specifying the rights and provisions waived. Failure on the part of a Person to expressly complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default hereunder or with respect to HoldingsΒ LLC, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute an effective waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.
SectionΒ 11.9 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement and any provision hereof may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written instrument adopted by the Board; provided that (a)Β any amendment or modification adversely affecting rights or obligations of ClassΒ A Units hereunder (including any amendment materially and beneficially affecting the rights of any other class of Units or any other Holder or group of Holders, relative to the affect on Holders of ClassΒ A Units) shall require the prior written consent of the ClassΒ A Majority, (b)Β any amendment or modification adversely affecting rights or obligations of ClassΒ B Units hereunder shall require the prior written consent of the ClassΒ B Majority, (c)Β any amendment or modification adversely affecting rights or obligations of ClassΒ C Units hereunder shall require the prior written consent of the ClassΒ C Majority, (d)Β any amendment or modification shall be subject to obtaining the consent required (if any) by SectionΒ 6.7 and (e)Β any amendment or modification of SectionΒ 6.7 of this Agreement that adversely affects the rights or obligations of the ClassΒ A-1 Units shall require the prior written consent of the ClassΒ A-1 Super Majority; provided, that, if any amendment or modification would have a material and adverse effect on the rights or obligations of any individual Member or group of Members in comparison to other Members holding the same class of Units, then such amendment or modification will also require the prior written consent of such adversely affected individual Member or at least a majority in interest of such adversely affected Member(s), as the case may be; provided, further, that, any amendment or modification reducing the required interest for any consent or vote in this Agreement shall be effective only with the consent or vote of Members having the interest theretofore required; provided, however, that no consent or approval of holders of ClassΒ B Units, ClassΒ C Units or Incentive Units shall be required in connection with the an issuance of Additional Units (other than ClassΒ B Units or ClassΒ C Units, excepting such Units as are issued upon exercise of Legacy Options) as approved by the Board (regardless of the rights, privileges, priorities and obligations of such Additional Units) and amendments and modifications to this Agreement (including the schedules hereto) related thereto, all to the extent that the issuance of such Additional Units affects all such classes of Units in the same manner and proportion.
Β
-59-
SectionΒ 11.10 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to be binding upon each Member with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement. The Holders further agree that any court of competent jurisdiction is expressly authorized to modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Agreement, or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the Members as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Holders expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them. In any event, should one or more of the provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been set forth herein.
SectionΒ 11.11 Delivery by Facsimile or Portable Document Form (pdf). This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission in portable document format (PDF), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission in PDF to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
SectionΒ 11.12 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns.
SectionΒ 11.13 Remedies. HoldingsΒ LLC and the Members shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement (including costs of enforcement) and to exercise any and all other rights at law or at equity existing in their favor. The parties recognize that irreparable injury will result from a breach of this Agreement and that money damages will be inadequate to fully remedy such injury (and thus waive as defense that there is an adequate
Β
-60-
remedy at law), and that HoldingsΒ LLC or any Member may in his, her or its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation or threatened violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
SectionΒ 11.14 Third Parties. Except as set forth in ArticleΒ VII, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person or entity, other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
SectionΒ 11.15 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any provision of the Certificate or any mandatory provision of the Delaware Act, the applicable provision of the Certificate or the Delaware Act shall control.
SectionΒ 11.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.
SectionΒ 11.17 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Member irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and (only if federal jurisdiction is not otherwise available) the state courts of the State of Delaware sitting in Kent County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Member further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. certified or registered mail to such Memberβs respective address set forth on the Schedule of Members shall be effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Member irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or (as provided above) the state courts of the State of Delaware sitting in Kent County, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
SECTIONΒ 11.18 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT
Β
-00-
XXXXXX XXXXXX ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
SectionΒ 11.19 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation; Construction. The headings herein are inserted as a matter of convenience only and are not intended to define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of the provisions hereof. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge or any duty hereunder shall fall upon a Saturday, Sunday, or any date on which banks in New York City are authorized to be closed, the party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day which is a regular business day. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
SectionΒ 11.20 Consent by Certain Holders.
(a) Pursuant to (x)Β the Contribution Agreement (i)Β HoldingsΒ LLC will grant certain of the Endochoice Shareholders (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) the Endochoice Liquidity Put Options (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) and (ii)Β HoldingsΒ LLC will grant a certain Peer Shareholder (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) the Peer Liquidity Put Option (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) (collectively, the βPut Optionsβ) and (y)Β the Letter of Agreement attached hereto as ExhibitΒ E by and among Xxxxxxx Xxxx (βXxxxβ), Peer Medical Limited, an Israeli company (now known as Endochoice Innovation Center, Ltd.) and Subsidiary of HoldingsΒ LLC, and HoldingsΒ LLC, subject to the terms and conditions detailed in such Letter of Agreement, HoldingsΒ LLC has agreed to permit Levy to sell up to 20% of his Units, in addition to the number of Units that may be sold by him under his Put Option, pursuant to the terms and conditions therein (the βAdditional Permitted Saleβ). The Transfer of Units to HoldingsΒ LLC under each of the Put Options, if exercised in full, and with respect to Levy, the Additional Permitted Sale, will result in a Transfer by the respective Holder of 10% or more of the Units that he will hold in HoldingsΒ LLC immediately after the contribution of Endochoice Shares and Peer Shares contemplated under the Contribution Agreement (the βContributionβ). Each
Β
-62-
Permitted Sale Holder (as defined below) acknowledges and agrees that such Transfers require the consent of all of the Holders that were Endochoice Shareholders, Peer Shareholders or holders of Legacy Options (the βConsenting Legacy Holdersβ) in accordance with SectionΒ 103C(9)(a) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, as amended (the βOrdinanceβ), in order for each of such Transfers not to infringe the restriction on Transfer under the Israeli Tax Ruling and the Ordinance.
(b) Consent as required by the Israeli Tax Ruling and the Ordinance is hereby granted by all Consenting Legacy Holders with respect to the Transfer by the following individuals (each, a βPermitted Sale Holderβ), in exercise of the respective Put Options and the completion of the Additional Permitted Sale, of the amount of Units stated alongside their names (the βAuthorized Sale Unitsβ), or any lesser amount which constitutes 10% or more of the number of Units that they will hold immediately after the Contribution:

(c) Other than as consented to under SectionΒ 11.20(b), each of the Consenting Legacy Holders hereby agrees not to Transfer during the restriction period required under SectionΒ 103C(8) of the Ordinance and the Israeli Tax Ruling (the βRestriction Periodβ) any of the Units that such Consenting Legacy Holder holds as of immediately after the Contribution, if (i)Β the number of the Units so Transferred, plus (ii)Β the ARS (the number determined by the formula set forth below), would represent, in the aggregate, 10% or more of the number of Units that such Consenting Legacy Holder will hold immediately after the Contribution (it being understood that each of the Permitted Sale Holders will not be entitled to Transfer more than the Authorized Sale Units set forth alongside his name in the table appearing in SectionΒ 11.20(b)).
ARS = CLP Γ· (ACLP β PPO) * (ASL β POB)
CLP = Consenting Legacy Holderβs Universal Percentage as of immediately after the Contribution;
ACLP = Aggregate Consenting Legacy Holdersβ Universal Percentage as of immediately after the Contribution;
PPO = Aggregate Universal Percentage of the Permitted Sale Holders as of immediately after the Contribution;
Β
-63-
ASL = The aggregate number of Authorized Sale Units;
POB = the aggregate number of Units which constitute 10% of the number of Units that the Permitted Sale Holders will hold as of immediately after the Contribution.
(d) For the purposes of this SectionΒ 11.20, when determining the Universal Percentage of each Consenting Legacy Holder, the calculation of Proportionate Share shall also include all Legacy Options that shall have been exercised as of the date of the Transfer by the Consenting Legacy Holder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but without derogation from the right of the Consenting Legacy Holders to Transfer Units addressed under SectionΒ 11.20(b), in no event shall any Consenting Legacy Holder be entitled to Transfer such number of Units which would result in (1)Β the Transfer by such Consenting Legacy Holder during the Restriction Period of Units and Units received in exercise of Legacy Options, which constitute 10% or more of its Universal Percentage, that such Holder held immediately after the Contribution or (2)Β the Transfer by all Consenting Legacy Holders during the Restriction Period of Units and Units received in exercise of Legacy Options, which constitute 10% or more of their aggregate Universal Percentage, that they held in the aggregate immediately after the Contribution.
(f) At the request of any Holder made during the Restriction Period, Holdings LLC shall provide such Holder with the information, as of the date of such notice, of the aggregate amount of Units Transferred by the Consenting Legacy Holders out of the Units that they held immediately after the Contribution, and the aggregate amount of Legacy Options exercised.
(g) Any two or more Consenting Legacy Holders may from time to time notify Holdings LLC in writing that they wish to be considered a group for the purposes of calculating the aggregate number of Units that may be transferred by the group of Consenting Legacy Holders as a whole and may further notify HoldingsΒ LLC that they have decided to allocate the number of aggregate number of Units that may be so transferred among the group members, in any manner that they so desire. Once any one of the group members has Transferred Units in excess of the number of Units that such group member would otherwise have been entitled to Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section, then the group notice to HoldingsΒ LLC shall become irrevocable and shall apply to and shall bind the group members until the end of the Restriction Period.

For the purposes of this ExhibitΒ A, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:
βClassΒ A Unreturned Capitalβ means, with respect to any ClassΒ A Unit (but excluding any ClassΒ A-1 Units), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i)Β the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made with respect to such ClassΒ A Unit as of such date, over (ii)Β the aggregate amount of prior Distributions made by HoldingsΒ LLC as of such date in respect of such ClassΒ A Unit pursuant to SectionΒ A or SectionΒ B of this ExhibitΒ A.

Β
5. | thereafter, to the Holders of all ClassΒ B Units, ratably among such Holders based upon the number of ClassΒ B Units held thereby. |
For the purposes of this ExhibitΒ B, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:
βClassΒ B Unreturned Capitalβ means, with respect to any ClassΒ B Unit of any series and as of any date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i)Β the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made with respect to such ClassΒ B Unit as of such date, over (ii)Β the aggregate amount of prior Distributions made by HoldingsΒ LLC as of such date in respect of such ClassΒ B Unit pursuant to SectionΒ 2 or SectionΒ 4 (as applicable) of this ExhibitΒ B. The Class B Unreturned Capital of each Holder of Class B Units as of the effective date shall be equal to the Capital Contributions set forth on the Schedule of Members.

If a portion (but not all) of the Holders of ClassΒ B Units elect to pay cash in respect of indemnification obligations under the Contribution Agreement and the remainder do not so elect, then the Holders of ClassΒ B Units shall equitably reallocate the ClassΒ B Units among Holders such that Holders that do not so elect to pay (or otherwise failed to actually pay) cash will bear the entirety of the resulting dilutive adjustment of the ClassΒ B Portion. Such reallocation shall be implemented, subject to applicable law, through the conversion of the respective portion of ClassΒ B Units held by Holders that do not pay cash into deferred units (conferring upon the holders thereof no rights except for the right to receive from Holdings LLC an amount of $0.01 per each unit from the ClassΒ B Portion of any Liquidating Distribution upon liquidation of Holdings LLC, following distribution to all other Holders of ClassΒ B Units) or, subject to any applicable law, through any other means (including, without limitation, issuance, redemption or transfer of units or other equity securities) that will not adversely affect the Holders or their tax planning.

Β
B-2
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Exhibit B, at the election of Holders of (a)Β at least a majority of the Series B1 Units with respect to Series B1 Preferred Return, (b)Β at least a majority of Series B2 Units with respect to the Series B2 Unpaid Return and (c)Β at least a majority of the Series B3 Units with respect to the Series B3 Preferred Return (which such elections may be made with to the payment of any or all Series B1 Preferred Unpaid Return, Series B2 Unpaid Return and Series B3 Unpaid Return, a Holder of Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units shall have the right, exercisable at any time beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the consummation of a Liquidity Event (the βConversion Rightβ), to waive all or any portion of its Series B1 Unpaid Return, Series B2 Unpaid Return and/or Series B3 Unpaid Return, as applicable, and increase the number of Series B4 Units deemed to be held by such Holder and the number of outstanding Series B4 Units, solely for the purpose of allocating Liquidating Distributions among the Holders of Class B Units under this Exhibit B, by an amount equal to (a)Β the portion of the waived SeriesΒ B1 Unpaid Return, SeriesΒ B2 Unpaid Return or SeriesΒ B3 Unpaid Return, as applicable, divided by (b)Β the Fair Market Value of such Series B1 Units, Series B2 Units or Series B3 Units. A Holder may exercise its Conversion Right by delivery of written notice thereof, which notice shall identify the amount of such Holderβs Series B1 Unpaid Return, Series B2 Unpaid Return and/or Series B3 Unpaid Return to be waived, at or prior to the consummation of a Liquidity Event. In the event of a Holderβs exercise of its Conversion Right, such exercise (including the waiver of a portion of such Holderβs Unpaid Return, the deemed increase in the number of Series B4 Units held by such Holder and the deemed increase in the number of outstanding Series B4 Units) shall be taken into account in connection with the making of Liquidating Distributions under this Exhibit B and the calculations contemplated by the immediately preceding paragraph.
Unless otherwise approved by the ClassΒ B Preferred Majority, in the event of a Liquidity Event (other than a dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of Holdings LLC), if any portion of the consideration payable to the Holders of Class B Units is placed into escrow and/or is payable to such Holders subject to contingencies, the parties hereto shall cause the definitive documentation evidencing such Liquidity Event to provide that (a)Β the portion of such consideration that is not placed into escrow and not subject to contingencies (the βInitial Considerationβ) shall be allocated among the Holders of Class B Units in accordance with this Exhibit B as if the Initial Consideration was the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidity Event, and (b)Β any additional consideration that becomes payable to the Holders of Class B Units shall be allocated among such Holders in accordance with this Exhibit B after taking into account the previous Distributions of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.

EXHIBIT F: CLASS A-1 UNIT ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION
Step 1: Calculate the Adjusted FMV for the immediately prior Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event (the βPrior Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Eventβ)
Β
Adjusted FMV = | Prior Pre-FMV * Conversion Factor | |
Prior Post-FMV + New $AIE | ||
Conversion Factor = | Β | |
Total Equity | ||
NACAIE% = | The percentage ownership of Holdings LLC of the ClassΒ A Units issued in the new Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event, calculated as (x)Β the New $AIE divided by (y)Β the sum of the New Pre-FMV and the New $AIE | |
New Pre-FMV = | Fair Market Value of Holdings LLC immediately prior to the new Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event | |
New $AIE = | Aggregate dollar amount of the new Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event | |
Prior Post-FMV = | Prior Pre-FMV plus the aggregate dollar amount of the prior Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event | |
Prior Pre-FMV = | Fair Market Value* of Holdings LLC immediately prior to the Prior Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event | |
Total Equity = | Prior Post-FMV divided by (1 β NACAIE%) |
Β
* | For avoidance of doubt the Fair Market Value of Holdings LLC shall be the value actually determined by the Board at the time of the Prior Additional Class Issuance Event (and not at the time of the anti-dilution adjustment contemplated by this Exhibit F). |
Step 2: Recalculate the Class Portions for the Prior Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event, the FMV per ClassΒ A Unit and the total number of ClassΒ A-1 Units based on the Adjusted FMV
Β
Β | β’ | Β | The Class Portions will be recalculated pursuant to the formula set forth in SectionΒ 4 of the Schedule of Members, except that the FMV will be equal to the Adjusted FMV determined in Step 1 above. |
Β
Β | β’ | Β | The Adjusted FMV per ClassΒ A Unit will be calculated by dividing the (x)Β Adjusted FMV by (y)Β the total number of ClassΒ A Units outstanding immediately prior to the prior Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event. |
Β
Β | β’ | Β | The adjusted number of ClassΒ A-1 Units to be issued based on the Adjusted FMV will be equal to (x)Β the aggregate amount of the Prior ClassΒ A Additional Issuance Event divided by (y)Β the Adjusted FMV per ClassΒ A Unit. The excess of the adjusted number of ClassΒ A-1 Units will be distributed to the holders of ClassΒ A-1 Units in proportion to their investment amount in the Prior Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event. |

Step 3: Calculate Class Portions for the New Additional ClassΒ A Issuance Event
Β
Β | β’ | Β | The Class Portions will be recalculated pursuant to the formula set forth in SectionΒ 4 of the Schedule of Members. For avoidance of doubt, the Additional Class Issuance Event will be calculated after taking into account the adjustments to the Class Portions and the ClassΒ A-1 Units contemplated by Steps 1 and 2. |

The ClassΒ A Portion, the ClassΒ B Portion and the ClassΒ C Portion shall each be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following:
Β
1. | In the event of any inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in SectionΒ 5 of the Investment Agreement and in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Purchasers (as defined in the Investment Agreement) contained in the Investment Agreement (a βClassΒ A Breachβ), to the extent all indemnification obligations with respect to such ClassΒ A Breach are not satisfied by cash payments to HoldingsΒ LLC, the ClassΒ A Portion shall be decreased by multiplying the ClassΒ A Portion in effect prior to such decrease by the quotient of (a)Β the Losses (as defined in the Investment Agreement) indemnifiable with respect to such ClassΒ A Breach, divided by $43,885,000. |
Β
2. | In the event of any inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation or warranty of Endochoice or the Endochoice Shareholders (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) contained in the Contribution Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached thereto) (determined in each case without regard to any qualification with respect to materiality, material adverse effect or other similar qualification) and in the event of any breach of any covenant or agreement of Endochoice or the Endochoice Shareholders contained in the Contribution Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached thereto) (a βClassΒ B Breachβ), to the extent the Indemnifying Party (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) does not elected to satisfy its indemnification obligations with respect to such ClassΒ B Breach in cash in accordance with SectionΒ 11.6(a)(ii) of the Contribution Agreement, the ClassΒ B Portion shall be decreased by multiplying the ClassΒ B Portion in effect prior to such decrease by the quotient of (a)Β the Losses (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) indemnifiable with respect to such ClassΒ B Breach, divided by $60,000,000. |

Β
4. | If any Class Portion is decreased pursuant to SectionsΒ 1 through 3 of this Schedule of Class Portions, the ClassΒ A Portion (except in the case of a ClassΒ A Breach), the ClassΒ B Portion (except in the case of a ClassΒ B Breach) and the ClassΒ C Portion (except in the case of a ClassΒ C Breach), as applicable, shall be proportionately increased by the product of (a)Β a fraction, the numerator of which is such Class Portion to be increased and the denominator of which is the aggregate ClassΒ Portions to be increased, multiplied by (b)Β such marginal decrease in Class Portion pursuant to SectionsΒ 1 through 3. |
For example, in the event that a ClassΒ B Breach entitled to indemnification immediately after this Agreement caused indemnifiable Losses of $6,000,000, the ClassΒ B Portion would be reduced from 38.273% (to the result of 38.273% - (38.273% x $6,000,000 Γ· $60,000,000) = 34.446%), and that marginal reduction (3.827%)Β would be allocated among the ClassΒ A Portion (increased by the product of 3.827% x 29.152% Γ· (29.152% + 25.575%) = 2.039%) and the ClassΒ C Portion (increased by the product of 3.827% x 25.575% Γ· (29.152% + 25.575%) = 1.788%).
Notwithstanding the table above in this Schedule of Class Portions and the definitions of ClassΒ A Portion, ClassΒ B Portion, ClassΒ C Portion and Incentive Portion set forth in Article I of this Agreement or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement:
Β
1. | If and to the extent that any Liquidating Distributions to be made to the Holders of ClassΒ A Units are less than the excess, if any, of (a)Β the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made or deemed to have been made with respect to such ClassΒ A Unit (including any ClassΒ A-1 Units) as of such date (which, for each holder of ClassΒ A Units (including any ClassΒ A-1 Units) as of MarchΒ 4, 2015, is as set forth in the Schedule of Members), less (b)Β the aggregate amount of prior Distributions made by HoldingsΒ LLC to Holders of ClassΒ A Units, (such excess, the βPreference Amountβ and such circumstance to the extent applicable, a βPreference Scenarioβ), then (i)Β up to an aggregate amount of Distributions equal to the Preference Amount, (A)Β the ClassΒ A Portion shall be equal to 100.00%, and (B)Β each of the ClassΒ B Portion, the ClassΒ C Portion and the Incentive Portion shall be equal to 0.00%, and (ii)Β thereafter, (A)Β the ClassΒ A Portion shall be equal to 0.00%, and (B)Β each of the ClassΒ B Portion, the ClassΒ C Portion and the Incentive Portion shall be increased in the aggregate by the amount of the ClassΒ A Portion otherwise in effect (allocated among such classes in accordance with their relative ClassΒ Portions as of immediately prior to such Distribution). For the avoidance of doubt, under any circumstance other than a Preference Scenario (a βConversion Scenarioβ), each class portion shall be as set forth in the table above (subject to the other paragraphs of this Schedule of Class Portions). Upon a Liquidity Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the Members is placed into escrow and/or is payable to Members subject to contingencies (e.g., earn-outs), (a)Β the portion of the consideration that is not placed into escrow or not subject to contingencies (the βInitial Considerationβ) shall be allocated and distributed among the Members in accordance with this Agreement as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection |

Β | with such Liquidity Event and (b)Β any additional consideration which becomes payable to Members in connection with such Liquidity Event upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated and distributed among the Members in accordance with this Agreement as part of the same transaction after taking into account the previous allocation and distribution of the Initial Consideration (with it being understood that, to the extent the final amount of aggregate consideration from any such Liquidity Transaction exceeds that threshold of proceeds required for a Conversion Scenario, the Members shall equitably reallocate subsequently available and distributable consideration). |
Β
2. | If and to the extent that HoldingsΒ LLC or any of its Subsidiaries repurchases or redeems any Unit (other than an Incentive Unit which is forfeited or cancelled pursuant to this Agreement or any Incentive Agreement), the Class Portion of the class of the Units so repurchased or redeemed shall be equitably reduced relative to all other classes of Units, such that (i)Β the Class Portion of the class of the Units so repurchased and redeemed shall be multiplied by a fraction, (A)Β the numerator of which is the Pro Rata Share of all Units of such class (other than the Units to be repurchased or redeemed) as of immediately prior to such repurchase or redemption, and (B)Β the denominator of which is the is the Pro Rata Share of all Units of such class (including the Units to be repurchased or redeemed) as of immediately prior to such repurchase or redemption, and (ii)Β the ClassΒ Portion of all other classes of Units shall be increased by the product of the incremental decrease in the Class Portion of the class of Units which is reduced pursuant to clauseΒ (i) of this paragraph, multiplied by a fraction (X)Β the numerator of which is the Class Portion of such other class of Units, and (Y)Β the denominator of which is the aggregate Class Portion of all such other classes of Units (provided, that to the extent modification pursuant to this clauseΒ (ii) would result the increase of Class Portion for the Incentive Units above 8.0974%, such increase shall instead be allocated among the other classes of Units for which no redemption or repurchase is occurring). |
Β
3. | If and to the extent that the number of issued and outstanding Vested Incentive Units whose Participation Threshold has been satisfied (if ever) as of the time of any Distribution is less than 12,628,718 (for the purposes of this schedule, the βIncentive Pool Amountβ), whether due to incomplete vesting, repurchases or forfeitures of Incentive Units pursuant to this Agreement or any Incentive Agreement or otherwise, then (x)Β the Incentive Portion shall be reduced to the product of (i)Β the Incentive Portion set forth in the table above in this Schedule of Class Portions multiplied by (ii)Β a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Vested Incentive Units (with the applicable Participation Threshold satisfied, if ever) then issued and outstanding, and the denominator of which is the Incentive Pool Amount, (y)Β the ClassΒ Portion of all other classes of Units shall be increased, in the aggregate by the amount of the reduction pursuant to clauseΒ (i) of this paragraph (allocated among classes on the basis of the Class Percentage of each such class relative to the aggregate Class Percentage of all of the ClassΒ A Units, the ClassΒ B Units, the ClassΒ C Units and (after giving effect to the reduction pursuant to clauseΒ (i) of this paragraph) the Incentive Units. |
Β
4. | If and to the extent that HoldingsΒ LLC sells and issues any additional ClassΒ A Units (such issuances subject in all cases to the applicable consent and preemptive rights of the Holders under this Agreement) and the Fair Market Value of Holdings LLC is such that, if Liquidating Distributions were to be made to the Holders of ClassΒ A Units, such Liquidating Distributions would not result in a Preference Scenario (such issuance of additional ClassΒ A Units, an |

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that additional ClassΒ A Units are issued to TriplePoint Capital LLC (βTriplePointβ) upon the exercise of warrants issued to TriplePoint dated as of FebruaryΒ 18, 2014 (the βTriplePoint Warrantsβ), the Class Portions shall not be adjusted in accordance with this SectionΒ 4 since the Class Portions in effect as of MarchΒ 4, 2015 upon execution and delivery of this Agreement already reflect a deemed exercise of the TriplePoint Warrants and a deemed issuance of 2,091,175 ClassΒ A Units to TriplePoint (the βDeemed TriplePoint ClassΒ A Unitsβ).
Upon a consummation of a Liquidity Event, if the TriplePoint Warrants are not exercised, the current Class Portions set forth in this Schedule of Members shall be adjusted by (x)Β first, determining the deemed Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage represented by the Deemed TriplePoint ClassΒ A Units, (y)Β second, reducing the current ClassΒ A Portion by such Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage and (z)Β third, allocating such Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage amongst the current Class Portions pro rata in accordance with the Class Portion percentages deemed to be in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the ClassΒ A-1 Unit Purchase Agreements, which Class Portion percentages are set forth below. For purposes of this SectionΒ 4, the βFully-Diluted Universal Percentageβ represented by the Deemed TriplePoint ClassΒ A Units, shall be equal to the product of (x)Β the current ClassΒ A Portion, multiplied by (y)Β the Proportionate Share of the ClassΒ A Units (including the Deemed TriplePoint ClassΒ A Units) represented by the Deemed TriplePoint ClassΒ A Units.

For example, if there were 100,748,530 ClassΒ A Units outstanding as of the Liquidity Event and the current Class Portions as of the Liquidity Event are as set forth in this Schedule of Members, (x)Β the Fully-Diluted Universal Percentage of the Deemed TriplePoint ClassΒ A Units would be equal to 0.9660%, (y)Β the existing ClassΒ A Portion would be reduced by such percentage to 45.5810% and (z)Β such percentage would be allocated across the Class Portions with the result that: the ClassΒ A Portion would be decreased in the aggregate by 0.6896% to 45.8574%; the Class B Portion would be increased by 0.3493% to 27.4213%, the Class C Portion would be increased by 0.2334% to 18.3235% and the Incentive Portion would be increased by 0.107% to 8.3978%.
In order for the foregoing adjustment mechanism to correctly account for each additional issuance of ClassΒ A Units and appropriately adjust the Class Portions listed in the table above, Holdings LLC shall amend and update the Schedule of Class Portions as provided above upon each and every issuance of ClassΒ A Units (which shall not be deemed an amendment of this Agreement for the purposes of SectionΒ 11.9). Upon such adjustment, Holdings LLC shall deliver a copy of the updated Schedule of Class Portions to each Major Member, along with a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the facts upon which such adjustments were made and the calculations relating thereto as set forth above.
