4. | Certain Sales and Forfeitures Upon Termination of Employment. |
4.1 Put Option.
(a) Prior to an IPO, if Executive’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated (x) due to the death of Executive or (y) by the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of the Disability of Executive, then Executive and Executive’s Permitted Transferees (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Executive’s Family Group”) shall have the right, subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, for 180 days following the date that is 210 days after the Termination Date, to sell to the Company (the “Put Right”), and the Company shall be required to purchase (subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof), on one occasion from each member of Executive’s Family Group, all (but not less than all) of the number of Co-Investment Units then held by Executive’s Family Group that equals all such Co-Investment Units collectively held by Executive’s Family Group at a price per Co-Investment
8
Unit equal to the Fair Market Value of such Co-Investment Units (measured as of the date that the relevant election to purchase such Co-Investment Units is delivered (the “Repurchase Notice Date”)). In order to exercise its rights with respect to the Co-Investment Units pursuant to this Section 4.1(a), Executive’s Family Group shall also be required to simultaneously exercise any similar rights it may have with respect to any other Co-Investment Units of the Company held by Executive’s Family Group in accordance with the terms of the agreements pursuant to which such other Co-Investment Units were acquired from the Company.

(i) Termination with Cause; Voluntary Resignation when Grounds Exist for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated (x) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with Cause or (y) by Executive at a time when grounds exist for a termination with Cause, then the purchase price per Co-Investment Unit will be the lesser of (A) Fair Market Value (measured as of the Repurchase Notice Date) and (B) Cost;
(ii) Restrictive Covenant Violation. If a Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs, then the purchase price per Co-Investment Unit will be the lesser of (A) Fair Market Value (measured as of the Repurchase Notice Date) and (B) Cost; or
(iii) Competitive Activity. In the event Executive engages in Competitive Activity not constituting a Restrictive Covenant Violation, then the purchase price per Co-Investment Unit will be Fair Market Value (measured as of the Repurchase Notice Date).
9
The Call Option (except in the case of any event described in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and (iv)) shall expire upon the occurrence of an IPO.
(b) If the Company desires to exercise the Call Option pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Company shall, not later than the expiration of the period set forth in Section 4.2(a), send written notice to each member of Executive’s Family Group of its intention to purchase Co-Investment Units, specifying the number of Co-Investment Unit to be purchased (the “Call Notice”).

4.3 Obligation to Sell Several. If there is more than one member of Executive’s Family Group, the failure of any one member thereof to perform its obligations hereunder shall not excuse or affect the obligations of any other member thereof, and the closing of the purchases from such other members by the Company shall not excuse, or constitute a waiver of its rights against, the defaulting member.

5.2 Payment for Co-Investment Units. If at any time the Company elects or is required to purchase any Co-Investment Units pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall pay the purchase price for the Co-Investment Units it purchases (i) first, by the cancellation of any indebtedness, if any, owing from Executive to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (which indebtedness shall be applied pro rata against the proceeds receivable by each member of Executive’s Family Group receiving consideration in such repurchase) and (ii) then, by the Company’s delivery of a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds for the remainder of the purchase price, if any, against delivery of the certificates or other instruments, if any, representing the Co-Investment Units so purchased, duly endorsed; provided that if (x) any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 exists or (y) such purchase of Co-Investment Units would result in a Financing Default, in each case which prohibits such cash payment (either directly or indirectly as a result of the prohibition of a related cash dividend or distribution) (each a “Cash Payment Restriction”), the portion of the cash payment so prohibited may be made, to the extent such payment is not prohibited, by the Company’s delivery of a junior subordinated promissory note (which shall be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment of any debt outstanding under the senior financing agreements and any modifications, renewals, extensions, replacements and refunding of all such indebtedness) of the Company (a “Junior Subordinated Note”) in a principal amount equal to the balance of the purchase price, payable within ten days after the Cash Payment Restriction no longer exists, and bearing interest payable (and compounded to the extent not so paid) as of the last day of each year at the “prime rate” as published for XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx Bank from time to time, and all such accrued and unpaid interest payable on the date of the payment of principal (or, if applicable, the last installment of principal), with payments to be applied in the order of: first to any enforcement costs incurred by Executive or Executive’s Family Group, second to interest and third to principal. The Company shall have the rights set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 5.2 whether or not the member of Executive’s Family Group selling such Co-Investment Units is an obligor of the Company. The principal of, and accrued interest on, any such Junior Subordinated Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the option of the Company. To the extent that the Company is prohibited from paying accrued interest, that is required to be paid on any Junior Subordinated Note prior to maturity, due to the existence of any Cash Payment Restriction, such interest shall be cumulated, compounded annually, and accrued until and to the extent that such
11
Cash Payment Restriction no longer exists, at which time such accrued interest shall be immediately paid. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company may elect to pay the purchase price hereunder in shares or other equity securities of one of its respective direct or indirect Subsidiaries with a fair market value equal to the applicable purchase price, provided that such Subsidiary promptly repurchases such shares or other equity securities for cash equal to the applicable purchase price or a Junior Subordinated Note with a principal amount equal to the applicable purchase price.
5.3 Repayment of Proceeds. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or the Executive engages in any Restrictive Covenant Violation, or the Company discovers after a termination of employment that grounds for a termination with Cause existed at the time thereof, then Executive shall be required to pay to the Company, within 10 business days’ of the Company’s request to Executive therefor, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) Executive or any of Executive’s Permitted Transferees received upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, Executive’s Co-Investment Units over (B) the aggregate Cost for such Co-Investment Units. Any reference in this Agreement to grounds existing for a termination with Cause shall be determined without regard to any notice period, cure period or other procedural delay or event required prior to finding of, or termination for, Cause. The foregoing remedy shall not be exclusive.
6. | Restrictive Covenants; Competitive Activity. |
(a) Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates and accordingly agrees, in Executive’s capacity as an investor and equity holder in the Company, to incorporate the terms of all Restrictive Covenants into this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach by Executive, regardless of whether a transfer of Co-Investment Units to a Permitted Transferee has occurred and in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required by this Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.
(b) Executive shall have engaged in “Competitive Activity” if Executive is engaged as an employee or service provider, including as a partner, member or principal, for a business that competes in any material respect with any business of the Company at any time after Executive’s Termination Date (regardless of whether such conduct constitutes a Restrictive Covenant Violation).
