PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 10.1 General.

Section 10.1.1. If the Company proposes to issue or incur, as applicable, any (a) equity securities, (b) debt securities or other Indebtedness, (c) securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity or debt securities or other Indebtedness or (d) other securities, other than Excluded Securities (as defined in Section 10.1.4) (collectively, the “Offered Securities”), the Company shall deliver to each Principal Stockholder and its applicable Partial Rights Transferees a written notice (which notice shall state the number or amount of the Offered Securities proposed to be issued, the purchase price therefor and any other material terms or conditions of the proposed Offered Securities and of their issuance or incurrence, as applicable, including any linked or grouped securities which comprise Offered Securities) of such issuance or incurrence, as applicable (the “Preemptive Offer Notice”) at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed issuance (the period beginning on the date that the Preemptive Offer Notice is delivered to the Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees and the date that is ten Business Days following such date being the “Preemptive Offer Period”).

Section 10.1.2. Each Principal Stockholder and applicable Partial Rights Transferees shall have the option, exercisable at any time during the Preemptive Offer Period by delivering a written notice to the Company (a “Preemptive Offer Acceptance Notice”), (a) to subscribe for the number or amount of such Offered Securities up to its Proportionate Percentage (excluding for the purposes of this calculation shares of Holdco Common Stock beneficially owned by Persons who are not Principal Stockholders or their applicable Partial Rights Transferees) of the total number or amount of Offered Securities proposed to be issued and (b) in the case of Offered Securities that are not debt securities or other Indebtedness, to offer to subscribe for up to its Proportionate Percentage (excluding for the purposes of this calculation shares of Holdco Common Stock beneficially owned by Persons who are not Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holders) of the Offered Securities not subscribed for by the other Principal Stockholders or their applicable Partial Rights Transferees (as further described below). In the case of Offered Securities that are not debt securities or other Indebtedness, any Offered Securities not subscribed for by a Principal Stockholder or applicable Partial Rights Transferees shall be deemed to be re-offered to and accepted by each of the other Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees that has exercised its option specified in clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence (each a “Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holder”), with respect to the lesser of (i) the amount specified in such Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holder’s Preemptive Offer Acceptance Notice and (ii) an amount equal to the Offered Securities not subscribed for by the Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees who are not Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holders. Such deemed re-offer and acceptance procedures described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be repeated until either (A) all of the Offered Securities are accepted by the Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees or (B) no Principal Stockholders or applicable Partial Rights Transferees desire to subscribe for more Offered Securities. The Company shall notify each Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holder within five Business Days following the expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period of the number or amount of Offered Securities which such Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holder has subscribed to purchase.

Section 10.1.3. If Preemptive Offer Acceptance Notices are not given by the Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees for all the Offered Securities, the Company may issue the part of such Offered Securities as to which Preemptive Offer

 

13


Acceptance Notices have not been given by the Principal Stockholders and their applicable Partial Rights Transferees (the “Refused Securities”) to any other Person (a “New Investor”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Preemptive Offer Notice. Any Refused Securities not purchased by one or more New Investors in accordance with this Section 10.1.3 within 60 days after the expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period may not be sold or otherwise disposed of until they are again offered to the Principal Stockholders under the procedures specified in this Section 10.1.

Section 10.1.4. The rights under this Article X shall not apply to the following securities issued by the Company at any time in compliance with the Stockholder Agreement (the “Excluded Securities”):

(a) Units issued as a dividend on Units or upon any split of Units;

(b) securities issued in connection with a consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a business entity that is not an Affiliate (disregarding clauses (i)(y) and (ii) of the definition of such term) of the Company or one of the Principal Stockholders, on the other hand, in each case to the extent that such transaction is conducted in compliance with the Stockholder Agreement;

(c) with the approval of a majority of the Board and, for so long as any Principal Stockholder’s Proportionate Percentage is at least 5%, the approval of at least one Manager nominated to the board of directors of Holdco by such Principal Stockholder (to the extent such Principal Stockholder has the right to nominate a director to the board of directors of Holdco pursuant to Section 2 of the Stockholder Agreement), securities issued as an equity kicker to one or more Persons to whom the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries is becoming Indebted in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that such incurrence otherwise occurs in compliance with the Stockholder Agreement, and provided further that (i) to the extent any Principal Stockholder or Partial Rights Transferee exercises its Preemptive Rights to such Indebtedness, it shall be entitled to Preemptive Rights pursuant to this Article X (without respect to this Section 10.1.4(c)) with respect to such securities issued as an equity kicker), and (ii) the effect of such issuance does not discriminate against any Principal Stockholder (including by having a different adverse impact on any Principal Stockholder based on such Principal Stockholder’s identity or any of its attributes);

(d) with the approval of a majority of the Board and, for so long as any Principal Stockholder’s Proportionate Percentage is at least 5%, the approval of at least one Manager nominated to the board of directors of Holdco by such Principal Stockholder (to the extent such Principal Stockholder has the right to nominate a director to the board of directors of Holdco pursuant to Section 2 of the Stockholder Agreement), to the extent that the Company concludes that an issuance is appropriate and desirable and to further the business relationship with a customer of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, equity securities issued on customary terms to such customer, provided that such customer is not an Affiliate (disregarding clauses (i)(y) and (ii) of the definition of such term) of the Company or one of the Principal Stockholders, provided further that the effect of such issuance does not discriminate against any Principal Stockholder (including by having a different adverse impact on any Principal Stockholder based on such Principal Stockholder’s identity or any of its attributes);

 

14


(e) securities issued by the Company to Holdco or any Subsidiary of Holdco; and

Section 10.2 Termination. The rights set forth in this Article X shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

Section 10.3 Treasury Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transfer (other than to a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any security issued by the Company shall be deemed to be an issuance of such security by the Company for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.4 Certain Debt Issuances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article X, if the managing underwriters for an offering of debt securities, or the lead arrangers for issuances of bank or other Indebtedness by the Company, advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the availability of Preemptive Rights to the Principal Stockholders and their Partial Rights Transferees would significantly jeopardize the success of such offering or debt raising (including by adversely affecting the terms on which such debt securities or Indebtedness could be issued or incurred, as applicable), then the Company shall provide notice of such opinion in the Preemptive Rights Notice and no Principal Stockholder or Partial Rights Transferee shall have any such Preemptive Rights pursuant to Section 10.1 with respect to such offering or incurrence of debt securities or Indebtedness; provided, however, that, the Principal Stockholders may participate in such offering or debt raising to the extent permitted under Section 8(f) of the Stockholder Agreement.

ARTICLE XI.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 11.1 Right to Indemnification. To the fullest extent that the General Corporations Law or any other Law of Puerto Rico as the same exists or is hereafter amended permits, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each, a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a member, manager, officer or resident agent of the Company or, while a member, manager, officer or resident agent of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, officer, resident agent or as an employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter a “Covered Person”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a member, manager, officer, employee, agent or resident agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a member, manager, officer, employee, agent or resident agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable Law, as the

 

15


same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Covered Person in connection with such proceeding if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such Person (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Person’s conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 11.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Company shall indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

Section 11.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 11.1, a Covered Person also shall have the right to be paid by the Company for the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending, testifying or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the General Corporations Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a Covered Person in his or her capacity as a Manager or officer of the Company (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Covered Person, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Covered Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article XI or otherwise.

Section 11.3 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 is not paid in full by the Company within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Covered Person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Covered Person also shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by (a) the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by a Covered Person to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) or (b) the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the Covered Person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the General Corporations Law. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Managers who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Managers, independent legal counsel or its members) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in

 

16


the circumstances because the Covered Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporations Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including a determination by its Managers who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Managers, independent legal counsel or its members) that the Covered Person has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Covered Person, shall be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder or by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the Company.

Section 11.4 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights provided to Covered Persons pursuant to this Article XI shall not be exclusive of any other right that any Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under applicable Law, this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation, the Stockholder Agreement, any other agreement or a vote of disinterested members or Managers or otherwise.

Section 11.5 Insurance. The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and/or any Manager, director, partner, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporations Law.

Section 11.6 Indemnification of Other Persons. This Article XI shall not limit the right of the Company to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by Law to indemnify and to advance expenses to Persons other than Covered Persons. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Company and to any other Person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article XI with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Covered Persons under this Article XI.

Section 11.7 Amendments. Any repeal or amendment of this Article XI by the Board or the members of the Company or by changes in applicable Law or the adoption of any other provision of this Agreement inconsistent with this Article XI, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable Law permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights to Covered Persons on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto) and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

Section 11.8 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article XI, (a) references to “other enterprise” shall include any employee benefit plan; (b) references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a Person with respect to an employee benefit plan; (c) references to

 

17


“serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service that imposes duties on, or involves services by, a Person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and (d) a Person who acted in good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interest of the Company.”

Section 11.9 Contract Rights. The rights provided to Covered Persons pursuant to this Article XI (a) shall be contract rights based upon good and valuable consideration, pursuant to which a Covered Person may bring suit as if the provisions of this Article XI were set forth in a separate written contract between the Covered Person and the Company, (b) shall fully vest at the time the Covered Person first assumes his or her position as a Manager or officer of the Company, (c) are intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the adoption of this Article XI, (d) shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a Manager or officer of the Company and (e) shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Person’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 11.10 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article XI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article XI shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article XI (including, without limitation, each such portion of this Article XI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 11.11 Indemnitor of First Resort. The Company hereby acknowledges that Covered Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more Persons who employ Covered Persons or of which any Covered Person is a partner or member or with such Persons’ respective affiliated investment funds, managed funds and management companies, if applicable, or such Persons’ respective affiliates (collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort—meaning that, its obligations under this Article XI are primary and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitors to advance expenses and provide indemnification for the same expenses and liabilities incurred by Covered Persons are secondary, (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation, the Stockholder Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and any Covered Persons, without regard to any rights that Covered Persons may have against the Secondary Indemnitors and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Secondary Indemnitors from any and all claims that it has or may have against the Secondary Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Secondary Indemnitors shall affect the foregoing and that the Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Covered Persons against the Company. The Company and each Covered Person agree that Secondary Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of this Article XI.
