accountant or investment banking firm) incurred in connection with the dispute of Fair Market Value. In all other cases, the Executive shall be responsible for such fees and expenses. Each of the Company and the Executive agrees to execute, if requested by the Arbiter, a reasonable engagement letter with the Arbiter. The party who is unsuccessful in such arbitration will pay the fees and expenses of the Arbiter.

(b) If the Company desires to exercise one of its options to purchase Units pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Company shall, not later than 90 days after the Termination Date (or in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated within the six month period following the Grant Date, then 90 days after the six month anniversary of the Grant Date), send written notice to each member of the Executive Group of its intention to purchase Units, specifying the number of Units to be purchased and the purchase price thereof (the “Call Notice”). Subject to the provisions of Section 6, the closing of the purchase of the Units shall take place at the principal office of the Company on a date specified by the Company no later than the 30th day after the giving of the Call Notice.
(c) Subject to Section 5.2(b), in the event of a purchase by the Company pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the purchase price for any Vested Class B Unit or Vested Class C Unit shall be a price per Unit equal to Fair Market Value (measured as of the later of (x) the Termination Date and (y) the six month anniversary of the Grant Date) of such Vested Class B Unit or Vested Class C Unit, as applicable; provided that in any case the Board shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to increase the purchase price set forth above.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company have the right or option to purchase any Units from a member of the Executive Group pursuant to this Section 5.4 after the Company’s initial Public Offering.
5.5. Obligation to Sell Several. If there is more than one member of the Executive 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.
5.6. Interim Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Company declares or pays a distribution with respect to any of the Units held by the Executive Group on or after the Termination Date but prior to the exercise by the Company of the call option provided by Section 5.4 or prior to the closing of the repurchase transactions contemplated by a Call Notice, the entire portion of such distribution shall be held in escrow by the Company (such amounts, the “Escrow Funds”) until later of (i) the expiry of the time period by which the call option provided by Section 5.4 must be exercised and (ii) if one or more Call Notices have been delivered, until all the transactions contemplated by all Call Notices have been consummated. In the event, the Company decides to exercise the call option provided by Section 5.4, the entire amount of such Escrow Funds shall be permanently transferred to the Company and deemed forfeited by the Executive Group. In the event the Company does not exercise the call option provided by Section 5.4, the entire amount of such Escrow Funds shall be permanently transferred to the relevant members of the Executive Group.
6. Certain Limitations on the Company’s Obligations to Purchase Units.
6.1. Timing and Method of Payment.
(a) Payment for Units. If at any time the Company elects or is required to purchase any Units pursuant to Section 5, the Company shall pay the purchase price for the Units it purchases (i) first, by offsetting indebtedness, if any, owing from the Executive to the Company (which indebtedness shall be applied pro rata against the proceeds receivable by each member of the Executive Group receiving consideration in such repurchase) and (ii) then, by the Company’ delivery of a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds for the remainder of the purchase price, if any, against delivery of the certificates or other instruments representing the Units so purchased, duly endorsed; provided that the Company shall not be required to make such cash payment if such cash payment would result in (A) 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, a Financing Default, or if the Board determines in good faith that immediately prior to such purchase there shall exist a Financing Default which prohibits such purchase, dividend or distribution (any such restriction, a “Payment Restriction”). If such a Payment Restriction exists, the Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the party to whom the obligation is owed giving rise to such Payment Restriction to waive such Payment Restriction so that such cash payment may be made or, if no party is involved in such restriction, to otherwise eliminate such Payment Restriction; provided that the Company shall not have any obligation to make a payment to any
party or to modify any agreement, contract or other arrangement in a manner that is adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in order to eliminate such restriction. The Company will use its reasonable discretion to determine the timing of such request or requests to waive or remove such Payment Restriction. If such Payment Restriction is not waived or removed or if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, at the Company’s election, the Company may pay such purchase price in the form of a junior subordinated note of the Company (a “Junior Subordinated Note”) (or partially in cash, to the extent such partial cash payment is not so prohibited) bearing interest at (A) a rate equal to the “prime rate” (as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date of issuance) plus two basis points, compounded annually, if the Executive’s employment was terminated for the reasons set forth in Section 5.4(a)(i) or 5.4(a)(ii), or (B) at the Applicable Federal Rate, compounded annually, if Executive’s employment was terminated for the reasons set forth in Section 5.4(a)(iii). The principal and interest with respect to such note shall be payable within a 10 business day period after the earliest to occur of (w) the date on which such Payment Restriction no longer exists, (x) the date of the initial Public Offering, (y) the date on which the Company makes a distribution pursuant to Section 4.1 of the LLC Agreement (other than a tax distribution), or (z) upon a Sale of the Company from net cash proceeds, if any, payable to the Company or its unitholders; to the extent that sufficient net cash proceeds are not so payable, the Junior Subordinated Note shall be cancelled in exchange for such other non-cash consideration received by unitholders in the Sale of the Company having a Fair Market Value equal to the principal of and accrued interest on the note. The principal of and accrued interest on any such note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the option of the Company. In the event a Junior Subordinated Note is issued in respect of the purchase price for any Units purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 5, the Company shall grant to the Executive a first priority security interest in such Units as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due of the note and the interest thereon, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Executive to perfect such security interest in the Units.
(b) Certain Deferral of Payment. If, at the closing of the purchase of Units as the result of termination of Executive’s employment for the reasons described in Section 5.2(a), the Company has not opted to issue a Junior Subordinated Note pursuant to Section 6.1(a) (or is prohibited from doing so), and any such purchase would result in a material and adverse accounting or tax effect for the Company or violation or breach of any financing agreement to which the Company is a party, then the Company will provide written notice to the Executive explaining in reasonable detail such adverse effects and such closing of the purchase pursuant to Section 5.2(a) shall not be consummated until such time as it can be done without such adverse effect; provided that in no event shall such deferral exceed one (1) year; provided, further, that the Executive shall be entitled to interest on the amount to be paid for such Units at the rate that would be applicable if a Junior Subordinated Note had been issued in accordance with Section 6.1 for the period of such deferral.
7. Repayment of Proceeds upon Noncompetition.
7.1. Repayment Proceeds. If Executive engages in Prohibited Activity, then Executive shall be required to pay to the Company, within 10 business days following the Activity Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate proceeds Executive received upon the
sale or other disposition of Executive’s Units, over (B) the aggregate Purchase Price of such Units.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1. Transfers to Permitted Transferees. Prior to the transfer of Units to a Permitted Transferee (other than a transfer in connection with or subsequent to a Sale of the Company), the Executive shall deliver to the Company a written agreement of the proposed transferee (a) evidencing such Person’s undertaking to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and (b) acknowledging that the Units transferred to such Person will continue to be Units for purposes of this Agreement in the hands of such Person. Any transfer or attempted transfer of Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement or the Securityholders Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner of such Units for any purpose.
8.2. Deemed Transfer of Units. If the Company shall deliver, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Units to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the Person from whom such Units are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Units (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement), and such Units shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and the Company shall be deemed the owner and holder of such Units, whether or not certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.
8.3. Recapitalizations, Exchanges, Etc., Affecting Units. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to Units, to any and all securities of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Units, by reason of any dividend payable in Units, issuance of Units, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise.
8.4. Executive’s Employment by the Company. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to employ the Executive in any capacity whatsoever or to prohibit or restrict the Company (or any such subsidiary) from terminating the employment of the Executive at any time or for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.
8.5. Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Permitted Transferee shall derive any rights under this Agreement unless and until such Permitted Transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a valid undertaking and becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement; and provided further that Vestar is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.
8.6. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto. No waiver by any party hereto of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless set forth in a writing executed by the party so waiving.
8.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein.
8.8. Jurisdiction. Any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, or any judgment entered by any court in respect of any thereof, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, and each of the Company and the members of the Executive Group hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment. Each of the members of the Executive Group and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in any inconvenient forum.
8.9. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, sent by telecopy or facsimile (with confirmation of receipt), one day after deposit with a reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) and three days after deposit in the U.S. Mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to the address set forth below or such other address as the recipient party has previously delivered notice to the sending party.

If for any reason it is held that the restrictions under this Agreement are not reasonable or that consideration therefore is inadequate, such restrictions shall be interpreted or modified to include as much of the duration and scope identified in this Agreement as will render such restrictions valid and enforceable.
8.13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
8.14. Rights Cumulative; Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Executive and the Company under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which either would otherwise have hereunder or at law or in equity or by statute, and no failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude such party’s other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach and no failure by either party to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such party’s rights or privileges hereunder or shall be deemed a waiver of such party’s rights to exercise the same at any subsequent time or times hereunder.
