Re: | Grant of Phantom Class A Shares |
1. | Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, your Phantom Class A Shares shall vest (become payable in the form of one Class A Share of PAGP for each Phantom Class A Share) in equal 25% increments (2,500 Phantom Class A Shares per year) annually on the August Distribution Date. |
2. | Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, your DERs shall be payable in cash substantially contemporaneously with each Distribution Date. |
3. | As of each vesting date, for so long as you serve on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), you shall be deemed to have automatically received a grant, evidenced hereby, of 2,500 additional Phantom Class A Shares (and tandem DERs), such that the total outstanding Phantom Class A Shares (and tandem DERs) granted by this letter shall remain 10,000. |
4. | Immediately after the vesting of any Phantom Class A Shares, an equal number of DERs shall expire. |
5. | Upon any forfeiture of Phantom Class A Shares, an equal number of DERs shall expire. |
6. | In the event that (i) you voluntarily terminate your service on the Audit Committee (other than for Retirement) or (ii) your service on the Board of Directors is terminated by the Board (by a majority vote of the remaining Directors) for Cause (as defined in the LLC Agreement), all unvested Phantom Class A Shares (and tandem DERs) shall be forfeited as of the date service terminates. |
7. | In the event your service on the Audit Committee is terminated (i) because of your death or disability (as determined in good faith by the Board), (ii) due to your Retirement, or (iii) for any reason other than as described in clauses (i) and (ii) of paragraph 6 above, all unvested Phantom Class A Shares (and any tandem DERs) shall immediately become nonforfeitable, and shall vest (or, in the case of DERs, be paid) in full as of the next following Distribution Date. Upon such payment, the tandem DERs associated with the Phantom Class A Shares that are vesting shall expire. |
8. | In the event of a vesting under paragraph 7 above, the provisions of paragraph 3 above shall no longer be operative. |
9. | For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the expiration of a DER relates to the vesting of a Phantom Class A Share on a Distribution Date, the intent is for the DER to be paid with respect to such Distribution Date before the DER expires. |
