## Prohibition on Transfer of Profits Interest Units
The Profits Interest Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement may not be transferred,
sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, voluntarily or involuntarily, by
operation of law or otherwise,
## Investment Representations
Participant acknowledges that he or she is aware that the Profits Interest Units issued
to him by the Company pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on the basis of certain exemptions
from such registration requirement. In this connection,
## Section 83(b) Election.
Participant shall execute and deliver to the Company with this executed Agreement,
a copy of the Acknowledgment and Statement of Decision Regarding Election Pursuant
to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Acknowledgment”) substantially in
the form attached hereto.
Participant shall execute and submit with the Acknowledgment a copy of the Election Pursuant
to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, substantially in the form attached hereto
if Participant has indicated in the Acknowledgment his or her decision to make such an election.
Participant represents that Participant is not relying on the Company with respect to
such decision and has consulted any tax consultant(s) that Participant deems advisable in
connection with the filing of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code and
similar tax provisions.
Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s sole responsibility and not the Company’s to
timely file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, even if Participant requests that the
Company or any representative of the Company make such filing on Participant’s behalf.
Participant should consult his or her tax advisor to determine if there is a comparable election
to file in the state of his or her residence and whether such filing is desirable under the
circumstances.
## Taxes
The Company and Party intend that (i) the Profits Interest Units be treated as “profits interests” within the meaning of the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and any published guidance by the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto, including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27, as clarified by Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2001-43, (ii) the issuance of such interests not be a taxable event to the Company or Participant as provided in such Revenue Procedure, and (iii) the Agreement be interpreted consistently with such intent.
In furtherance of such intent, effective immediately prior to the issuance of the Profits Interest Units, the Company will cause the Gross Asset Value (as defined in the Agreement) of all Company assets to be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, and make the resulting adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Members, in each case as set forth in the Agreement.
The Company may withhold from Participant’s wages, or require Participant to pay to the Company, any applicable withholding or employment taxes resulting from the issuance of the Profits Interest Units hereunder, from the vesting or lapse of any restrictions imposed on the Profits Interest Units, or from the ownership or disposition of the Profits Interest Units.
## Code Section 409A
The Profits Interest Units are not intended to constitute or provide for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), and, provided that Section 409A of the Code, Treasury Regulations and related Department of Treasury guidance do not require otherwise, the Company shall not treat the Profits Interest Units as nonqualified deferred compensation. However, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the Board Of Directors determine that the Profits Interest Units may be subject to Section 409A, the Board Of Directors
shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to adopt such amendments to this Agreement or take such other actions (including amendments and actions with retroactive effect) as the Board Of Directors determine are necessary or appropriate for the
Profits Interest Units to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, if such action would diminish the value of the Profits Interest Units, such action may not be taken without Members written consent.
