Upon termination of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason by either party, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices and positions the Executive may hold with the Company at such time including, as a Manager or from any other positions as an officer of the Company.

6. Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive’s performance of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any noncompetition agreement or any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by the Executive in confidence or in trust prior to the Executive’s employment by the Company.

(b) Within 30 days after the occurrence of the Minimum Financial Milestone Event, the Company shall purchase and maintain at its own expense during the Term and for a reasonable time thereafter, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage to officers and the Board of Managers of the Company, including the Executive, with coverage limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and terms that are no less favorable than the coverage provided to other managers and similarly situated executives of the Company.

14. Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the respective benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and the Executive and the Executive’s personal representatives.

15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Restricted Unit Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the same, including the Prior Agreement.

16. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

17. Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section, may be amended, modified, deleted, or waived in any manner except by a written agreement executed by the parties.

18. Section 409A Matters. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Treasury Regulations and other applicable guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”). To the extent that there is any ambiguity as to whether this Agreement (or any of its provisions) contravenes one or more requirements of Section 409A, such provision shall be interpreted and applied in a matter that does not result in a Section 409A violation. Without limiting the generality of the above:

(a) For clarity, the severance benefits specified in this Agreement (the “Severance Benefits”) are only payable upon a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A. The Severance Benefits shall be deemed to be series of separate payments, with each installment being treated as a separate payment. The time and form of payment of any compensation may not be deferred or accelerated to the extent it would result in an impermissible acceleration or deferral under Section 409A.

(b) To the extent this Agreement contains payments which are subject to Section 409A (as opposed to exempt from Section 409A), the Executive’s rights to such payments are not subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment and, where applicable, may only be transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(c) To the extent the Severance Benefits are intended to be exempt from Section 409A as a result of an “involuntary separation from service” under Section 409A, if all conditions necessary to establish the Executive’s entitlement to such Severance Benefits have been satisfied, all Severance Benefits shall be paid or provided in full no later than December 31^st of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive’s employment terminated unless another time period is applicable.

(d) If the Employee is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A) on the termination date and a delayed payment is required by Section 409A to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A, then no Severance Benefits that constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A shall be paid until the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A, or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, all payments deferred under this clause shall be paid in a lump sum and any remaining severance benefits shall be paid per the schedule specified in this Agreement.

(e) The Company makes no representation that this Agreement will be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A and makes no affirmative undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying, but does reserve the right to unilaterally amend this Agreement as may be necessary or advisable to permit this Agreement to be in documentary and operational compliance with Section 409A which determination will be made in the sole discretion of the Company.

19. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware between Delaware residents.

20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be deemed a single agreement. This Agreement may be signed and delivered to the other Party by facsimile signature and or email; such transmission will be deemed a valid signature.

21. Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Executive Summary

Insurance Benefits Summary Explanation

The Company currently has a health and dental insurance plan (dental insurance is available for children only under the medical plan). The health insurance plan is a Preferred Provider Plan where there is an extensive list of doctors, specialists, hospitals, etc. that are part of the plan’s provider network. There are no referrals necessary and you are free to choose which service providers you select In-Network.

There is a cost and reimbursement difference between In-Network providers and Out-of-Network providers that is very important to pay attention to because it is significant.

In-Network the plan has a $2,000 per person/$4,000 per family deductible per year. The company pays 80% of the premium and contributes 80% of the deductible to a Health Savings Account in quarterly payments for you to use to pay any health-related expenses not covered by the insurance plan.

Out-of-Network providers and services are considerably more expensive due to the more limited nature of the benefit reimbursements provided under the plan.

The Company offers a Dental Plan for adults that contains a tiered reimbursement structure with basic care reimbursed at 100%, preventative care at 80% and restorative care at 50% of reasonable and customary expenses. There is a $1,000 annual maximum benefit available and the deductible must be met before any reimbursements can be paid.

The Company also has a Vision Care Plan through VSP that is a provider network-based plan. The company pays 80% of the premium for regular full-time employees.

With all Company benefits you must consult the Plan Document to confirm benefit eligibility, reimbursement rates and other important matters. The Company may change providers and coverage at the discretion of the Company.
