Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 7 hereof.

WHEREAS, the Company believes it to be in the best interests of the Company and its unitholders to take action to promote work-force stability, to reward performance and otherwise align interests of key management employees with those of the Company;

WHEREAS, accordingly the Company has determined to issue restricted units in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, after the Conversion (as defined below) it is intended that the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to the common stock of IPO Corp. received in the Conversion.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Issuance of Employee Units.

(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company will issue to the Employee that number of Class B Common Units of the Company (the “Class B Common Units”) set forth below such Employee’s name on the signature page attached hereto. All of such Class B Common Units issued to the Employee hereby are referred to herein as “Employee Units.” To secure the Company’s rights under the Repurchase Option in Section 3, the Company will retain possession of the certificates representing the Employee Units and will provide the Employee with copies thereof, provided that upon the Company’s or IPO Corp.’s initial Public Offering (as defined in the Securityholders’ Agreement), the Company or IPO Corp., as the case may be, shall immediately deliver original certificates representing the Vested Units (if the Company has an initial Public Offering) or vested Restricted Stock (as herein defined) (if IPO Corp. has an initial Public Offering) to Employee.

(b) In connection with the acquisition of the Employee Units hereunder, the Employee represents and warrants to the Company that:

(c) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Employee Units to the Employee and as a condition thereto, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) neither the issuance of the Employee Units to the Employee nor any provision contained herein shall entitle the Employee to remain in the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time for any reason; and

(ii) except as provided in any other agreement between the Company or any subsidiary thereof and the Employee, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to disclose to the Employee, and the Employee shall have no right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, at any time prior to, upon or in connection with the forfeiture of the Employee Units upon the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary thereof.

(vi) no consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative

agency or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the valid issuance and sale of the Employee Units or the Restricted Stock, other than such as have been made or obtained, and except for any securities filings required to be made under federal or state securities laws; and

(vii) the Employee Units and the Restricted Stock have been duly authorized, and when issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will not have been issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of either the Company or IPO Corp.

2. Hurdle Amount and Vesting of Employee Units.

(a) Hurdle Amount. The Hurdle Amount (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) applicable to the Employee Units is $390,000,000, and represents the aggregate fair market value of all of the equity of the Unitholders (as that term is defined in the LLC Agreement) as of the date hereof (after giving effect to the acquisition of membership interests of the Company by THL).

(b) Vesting. The Employee Units granted hereunder will be deemed “vested” (the “Vested Units”) in accordance with this Section 2(b).

(i) Vesting in General. Employee Units will become Vested Units as follows:

(A) Fifty percent (50%) of the Employee Units granted under this Agreement (the “Time Units”) will vest in forty-eight (48) equal installments on the last day of each calendar month occurring after the date of this Agreement; provided, that the Employee is an employee, whether at-will or otherwise, of an Employer on such date.

(B) Fifty percent (50%) of the Employee Units granted under this Agreement (the “Time-Performance Units”) will vest in sixty (60) equal installments on the last day of each calendar month occurring after the date of this Agreement; provided, that the Employee is an employee, whether at-will or otherwise, of an Employer on such date; further provided that, no such Time-Performance Units will be considered vested unless THL has previously (together with any proceeds to be received concurrently at the time of determination) received in cash proceeds (the “Return”) either as distributions with respect to, or from the sale or disposition of, THL’s initial equity investment in the Company and any subsequent equity investments in the Company (the “Investment”) (excluding any management or transaction fees or expenses but including any amounts received by THL in respect of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal income or Iowa franchise taxes as a result of the increase in tax basis of the Company’s assets as a result of the acquisition of the

Company’s interests by THL as the date hereof and any other payment made to THL under Section 3.6(b) of the Securityholders’ Agreement) an amount equal to 200% of THL’s Investment (the “Return Hurdle”)..

(ii) Vesting Upon a Change of Control. Notwithstanding Section 2(b)(i):

(A) all Time Units that have not previously vested will become Vested Units upon a Change of Control; and

(B) all Time-Performance Units that have not previously vested will vest in full upon a Change of Control if the Return Hurdle has been met. In the event of a Change of Control in which all or a portion of the consideration payable to the Company’s equityholders is in the form of equity securities, the value of the equity securities will be included in the calculation of whether the Return Hurdle has been met. If the Return Hurdle has not been met, then that number of Time-Performance Units that have not previously vested will vest as follows: (i) the total number of unvested Time-Performance Units multiplied by (ii) the Percentage. The Percentage shall equal the following number, expressed as a percentage: (x) 0.5 multiplied by (y) the percentage by which the Return exceeds 100% of THL’s Investment.

For purposes of illustration only, if the Return was 150%, then the Time-Performance Units would be 25% vested, and if the Return was 110%, then the Time-Performance Units would be 5% vested

(iii) Vesting Upon Termination Without Cause; Good Reason or Certain Instances of Death or Disability. Notwithstanding Section 2(b)(i), in the event the Employee’s employment with an Employer, whether at will or otherwise, is terminated (A) by an Employer for any reason other than Cause (as defined in this Agreement), (B) by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined in this Agreement); or (C) by reason of the Employee’s death or Disability (as defined in this Agreement) which occurs in connection with the performance of the Employee’s employment duties, then the vesting of the Employee Units will accelerate as follows:

(A) if, at the time of such termination, less than 33.33% of the Employee Units are Vested Units (based only on the time portion of vesting and assuming, for purposes of this subparagraph (iii) only, that the performance goals of the Time-Performance Units have been met), then 33.33% of the Employee Units shall be deemed Vested Units;

(B) if, at the time of such termination at least 33.33%, but less than 66.66% of the Employee Units are Vested Units (based only on the time portion of vesting and assuming, for purposes of this subparagraph

(iii) only, that the performance goals of the Time-Performance Units have been met), then 66.66% of the Employee Units shall be deemed Vested Units; and

(C) if, at the time of such termination, at least 66.66%, but less than 100%, of the Employee Units are Vested Units (based only on the time portion of vesting and assuming, for purposes of this subparagraph (iii) only, that the performance goals of the Time-Performance Units have been met), then 100% of the Employee Units shall be deemed Vested Units.

(iv) Vesting Upon Death or Disability. Notwithstanding Section 2(b)(i), in the event the Employee’s employment with an Employer, whether at will or otherwise, is terminated by reason of death or Disability (other than death or Disability which occurs in connection the performance of the Employee’s employment duties), then vesting of the Employee Units shall be accelerated by one year such that the applicable date of termination for vesting shall be deemed to be one year after the actual date of termination.

(c) Transfers of Employment Among Employers. For purposes of this Agreement, any transfer of the Employee’s employment from one Employer to another Employer shall not constitute a termination of employment with an Employer.

3. Repurchase or Forfeiture of Employee Units.

(a) In the event that the Employee ceases to be an employee, whether at-will or otherwise, of an Employer, then all Employee Units which are not Vested Units in accordance with Section 2 hereof, will be forfeited and returned to the Company.

(b) In the event the Employee ceases to be an employee of an Employer (i) by reason of termination by an Employer for Cause, or (ii) by reason of the Employee’s voluntary termination with or without Good Reason, then all Employee Units which are Vested Units in accordance with Section 2 hereof, will be subject to repurchase by the Company, at the Company’s option (the “Repurchase Option”), for Fair Market Value. The Repurchase Option shall terminate upon the Company’s or IPO Corp.’s initial Public Offering (as defined in the Securityholders’ Agreement).

(c) The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company, or its designee, from time to time, with respect to Vested Units within 270 days after the date of termination by delivering to the Employee a written notice of exercise and a check in the amount of the Fair Market Value, if applicable, determined as of the date the Employee ceased to be employed by an Employer. Upon delivery of such notice and payment of the purchase price as described above (or automatically upon any forfeiture of Employee Units pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company, or its designee, shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Employee Units being repurchased and all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company, or its designee, shall have the right to transfer to its own name the number of Employee Units being repurchased

without further action by the Employee or any of his or her transferees. If the Company or its designee elects to exercise the Repurchase Option pursuant to this Section 3 and the Employee or his or her transferee fails to deliver the Employee Units in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company, or its designee, may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, deposit the purchase price in an escrow account administered by an independent third party (to be held for the benefit of and payment over to the Employee or his or her transferee in accordance herewith), whereupon (or, in any case, upon any forfeiture of Employee Units pursuant to this Section 3) the Company shall by written notice to the Employee cancel on its books the certificates(s) representing such Employee Units registered in the name of the Employee and all of the Employee’s or his or her transferee’s right, title, and interest in and to such Employee Units shall terminate in all respects; provided that the Company shall instruct the escrow agent to release the purchase price to the Employee immediately following the Employee’s or his or her transferee’s delivery of certificates representing the Employee Units or a written acknowledgement by the Employee that the Employee’s or his or her transferee’s right, title and interest in and to such Employee Units has been terminated in all respects.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company elects to repurchase any Employee Units pursuant to the Repurchase Option, the Company shall pay the purchase price for the Employee Units it purchases (i) first, by offsetting indebtedness, if any, owing from the Employee to the Company and (ii) then, by the Company’s delivery of cash for the remainder of the purchase price, if any, against delivery of the certificates or other instruments representing the Employee Units so purchased, duly endorsed; provided that, (x) if any such cash payment at the time such payment is required to be made would result (A) in a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, policy, order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by any federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their property or (B) after giving effect thereto, in a Financing Default, or (y) if the Board determines in good faith that immediately prior to such purchase there shall exist a Financing Default which prohibits such purchase ((x) and (y) collectively the “Cash Deferral Conditions”), the portion of the cash payment so affected may be made by the Company’s delivery of a promissory note or senior preferred units of the Company with a liquidation preference equal to the balance of the purchase price. The promissory note or senior preferred units shall accrue interest or yield, as the case may be, annually at the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal on the date of issuance, which interest or yield, as the case may be, shall be payable at maturity. The value of each such senior preferred unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to equal (A) the portion of the cash payment paid by the issuance of such preferred units divided by (B) the number of senior preferred units so issued. Any senior preferred units or the promissory note shall be redeemed or payable when and to the extent the Cash Deferral Condition which prompted their issuance no longer exists. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Cash Deferral Conditions to be resolved.

(e) In the event that Employee Units are repurchased or forfeited pursuant to this Section 3, the Employee and his or her successors, assigns or Representatives shall

take (at the Company’s expense) all steps necessary and desirable to obtain all required third-party, governmental and regulatory consents and approvals and take all other actions necessary and desirable to facilitate consummation of such repurchase in a timely manner.

4. Conversion of Class B Common Units. Upon the Conversion, the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all vesting and forfeiture provisions, will continue to apply to any shares of common stock of IPO Corp. received in exchange for Class B Common Units (the “Restricted Stock”) and thereafter all references to the “Company” shall mean IPO Corp. and all references to the “Employee Units” shall mean the Restricted Stock.
