(d) Registration. The Participant understands that the Performance Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Performance Units cannot be transferred by the Participant unless such transfer is in compliance with this Agreement, registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from such registration is available. The LLC has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the Performance Units under the Securities Act. The LLC has made no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the

Securities Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, will be available. If an exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it will not be available until at least six months from issuance of the Award, and then, not unless the terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied in full to the satisfaction of the LLC in its sole and absolute discretion.

(e) Public Trading. None of the LLC’s securities are presently publicly traded, and the LLC has made no representations, covenants or agreements as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities.

(f) Tax Advice.

Participant hereby recognizes that the Internal Revenue Service has proposed regulations under Sections 83 and 704 of the Code that may affect the proper treatment of the Performance Units for federal income tax purposes. In the event that those proposed regulations are finalized, the Participant hereby agrees to cooperate with the LLC in amending this Agreement and the LLC Agreement, and to take such other action as may be required to conform to such regulations. Participant hereby further recognizes that the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that would change the federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of Performance Units. The Participant is advised to consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to such tax consequences and his or her ownership of the Performance Units.

3.3. Capital Account. The Participant shall make no contribution of capital to the LLC in connection with the Award and, as a result, the Participant’s Capital Account balance in the LLC immediately after his or her receipt of the Performance Units shall be equal to zero, unless the Participant was a Member in the LLC prior to such issuance, in which case the Participant’s Capital Account balance shall not be increased as a result of his or her receipt of the Performance Units.

3.4. Redemption Rights. Notwithstanding the contrary terms in the LLC Agreement, LLC Units which are acquired upon the conversion of the Share Price Performance Units shall not, without the consent of the LLC (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion), be redeemed pursuant to Section 15.1 of the LLC Agreement within one year of the date of vesting of such Share Price Performance Units.

The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s or the LLC’s, to timely file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (and any comparable state election), even if the Participant requests that the Company or the LLC, or any representative of the Company or the LLC, make such filing on the Participant’s behalf. The 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.

3.6. Ownership Information. The Participant hereby covenants that so long as the Participant holds any Performance Units, at the request of the LLC, the Participant shall disclose to the LLC in writing such information relating to the Participant’s ownership of the Performance Units as the LLC reasonably believes to be necessary or desirable to ascertain in order to comply with the Code or the requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.

3.7. Execution and Return of Documents and Certificates. At the Company’s or the LLC’s request, the Participant hereby agrees to promptly execute, deliver and return to the LLC any and all documents or certificates that the Company or the LLC deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the cancellation and forfeiture of the Unvested Performance Units and the portion of the Award attributable to the Unvested Performance Units, and/or to effectuate the transfer or surrender of such Unvested Performance Units and portion of the Award to the LLC.

3.8. Taxes. The LLC and the Participant intend that (a) the Performance Units be treated as a “profits interest” as defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27, as clarified by Revenue Procedure 2001-43, (b) the issuance of such units not be a taxable event to the LLC or the Participant as provided in such revenue procedure and (c) the LLC Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement be interpreted consistently with such intent. In furtherance of such intent, effective immediately prior to the issuance of the Performance Units, the LLC may revalue all LLC assets to 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 LLC Agreement. The Company, the LLC or any Affiliate may withhold from the Participant’s wages, or require the Participant to pay to such entity, any applicable withholding or employment taxes resulting from the issuance of the Award hereunder, from the vesting or lapse of any restrictions imposed on, or payment with respect to, the Award, or from the ownership or disposition of the Performance Units.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant agrees that the LLC shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of the obligations of the Participant under this Agreement and the LLC Agreement and immediate injunctive relief in the event any action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the same. The Participant hereby waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law available to the LLC in connection with the same.

Certificates evidencing the Performance Units, to the extent such certificates are issued, may bear such restrictive legends as the LLC and/or the LLC’s counsel may deem necessary or advisable under applicable law or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following legends or any legends similar thereto:
