Common use of Management Equity Clause in Contracts

Management Equity. In the event that a Management Holder ceases to be employed by the EIK Manager other than for Cause, and such Management Holder in good faith disagrees with the Board’s determination of Fair Market Value of the Common Units held by such Management Holder being repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option, such Management Holder (the “Disagreeing Holder”) shall deliver written notice to the Board of such disagreement within 30 days after written notice of such determination. In the event such Disagreeing Holder does not deliver a disagreement notice within such 30-day period, such determination shall be final and binding on such Disagreeing Holder. In the event such Disagreeing Holder delivers a disagreement notice within such 30-day period, the Board and the Disagreeing Holder will negotiate in good faith to agree on such Fair Market Value during the 20-day period following the Board’s receipt of the disagreement notice, and any such agreement shall be final and binding on the Disagreeing Holder. If such agreement is not reached within 20 days after the Board’s receipt of the disagreement notice, Fair Market Value shall be determined by an independent and unaffiliated appraiser with experience in analyzing and making determinations concerning matters in the Business and in valuing entities like the Company jointly selected by the Board and the Disagreeing Holder (and, if the Board and the Disagreeing Holder cannot agree within five business days, each shall select an appraiser, who then shall jointly select a third appraiser similarly qualified to serve as the appraiser), which appraiser shall be instructed to submit to the Board and the Disagreeing Holder a written report within 30 days of its engagement setting forth such determination, and such determination shall be final and binding upon all parties. The costs and expenses of such appraisal shall be borne by the Company; provided, that if the appraiser finally determines that the Fair Market Value is at least 90% of the Fair Market Value determined by the Board, such Disagreeing Holder shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such appraisal.
