Section 1.02. Additional Investment
Representations. Each Management Member represents and warrants
that:
|
|
(a)
|
the Management Member’s financial
situation is such that such Management Member can afford to bear
the economic risk of holding the Units for an indefinite period of
time, has adequate means for providing for the Management
Member’s current needs and personal contingencies, and can
afford to suffer a complete loss of the Management Member’s
investment in the Units;

experience in financial and business matters are such that the
Management Member is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the investment in the Units;
|
|
|
(c)
|
the Management Member understands that the Units
are a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk
of loss of Management Member’s investment therein, there are
substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Units and,
on the date on which such Management Member acquires such Units and
for an indefinite period following such date, there will be no
public market for the Units and, accordingly, it may not be
possible for the Management Member to liquidate the Management
Member’s investment including in case of emergency, if at
all;
|
|
|
(d)
|
the terms of this Agreement provide that if the

repurchase the Units at a price which may be less than the Fair
Market Value thereof;
|
|
|
(e)
|
the Management Member understands and has taken
cognizance of all the risk factors related to the purchase of the
Units and, other than as set forth in this Agreement, no
representations or warranties have been made to the Management
Member or Management Member’s representatives concerning the
Units, the Company, the Subsidiaries or their respective prospects
or other matters;
|
|
|
(f)
|
the Management Member has been given the
opportunity to examine all documents and to ask questions of, and
to receive answers from, the Company and its representatives
concerning the Company and its subsidiaries, the acquisition of
Nalco Company and certain Subsidiaries of Nalco International
S.A.S. by subsidiaries of the Company, the LLC Agreement, the
Company’s organizational documents and the terms and
conditions of the purchase of the Units and to obtain any
additional information which the Management Member deems necessary;
and
|
4
|
|
(g)
|
all information which the Management Member has
provided to the Company and the Company’s representatives
concerning the Management Member and the Management Member’s
financial position is complete and correct as of the date of this
Agreement.

Section 1.03. Section 83(b)
Election. The Company recommends that within 30 days after
purchasing any Units (other than Class A Units), each Management
Member should make an election with the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder (an “83(b) Election”) in the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto (any Units with respect to which such an election
is properly made, “Electing Units”). Each Management
Member shall submit any such election to the IRS within 30 calendar
days after purchasing the Units and shall promptly send a copy to
the Company. Management Members holding Electing Units shall use an
accounting firm selected and paid for by the Company or a
Subsidiary to file and handle all matters relating to their 2004,
2005 and 2006 personal income tax returns. Management Members
holding Electing Units shall for all tax reporting purposes use the
Units valuation prepared by the Company’s third party
valuation firm in connection with the issuance of such Units. To
the extent that a Management Member does not make an 83(b) Election
with respect to any Units (other than Class A Units) and such
Management Member is subject to ordinary income and withholding
taxes upon the vesting of such Units (the “Vesting
Units”) the Management Member will be required to pay, in
cash, to the Company an amount equal to such withholding taxes, as
determined by the Company in good faith. To the extent that the
withholding taxes, with respect to the Vesting Units, are not paid
to the Company within five days following a request from the
Company to pay such withholding taxes, the Management Member will
forfeit, without the payment of consideration, the Vesting
Units.
Section 1.04. Contingent Loan. A
Management Member shall, subject to the conditions set forth on
Exhibit B, be entitled to a loan from the Company on the terms set
forth on Exhibit B with respect to any Electing Units.
Section 1.05. Contingent Bonus. The
Company shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to pay a bonus to
Management Members in the circumstances set forth in Exhibit
C.
ARTICLE II

the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, except as required by law, no
Management Member may directly or indirectly, sell, contract to
sell, give, assign, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant a security
interest in, offer, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
economic, voting or other rights in or to (collectively,
“Transfer”) any Units except pursuant to (i) Article XI
of the LLC Agreement, (ii) Sections 2.02 or 2.04 hereof or (iii) a

approval.

Member may be made pursuant to this Article II unless (i) the
transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement (other than if
the Transfer is conducted in accordance with the Registration
Rights Agreement or the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under
the 1933 Act), (ii) the Transfer complies in all respects with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement, (iii) the Transfer
complies in all respects with applicable federal and state
securities laws, including the 1933 Act and (iv) the Transfer is
made in compliance with all applicable Company policies and
restrictions (including any trading “window periods” or

conditions to Transfer described in clause (i) above shall not
apply to a Transfer pursuant Article XI of the LLC Agreement or
Sections 2.02, 2.03 or 2.04 hereof.
(d) No Transfer by any Management
Member may be made pursuant to this Article II (except pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act) unless and
until such Management Member has first delivered to the Company an
opinion of counsel (reasonably acceptable in form and substance to
the Company) that neither registration nor qualification under the
1933 Act and applicable state securities laws is required in
connection with such Transfer.
(e) No Management Member may
Transfer Accelerated Vesting C/D Units prior to the one-year
anniversary of the date on which they became Accelerated Vesting
C/D Units following a Sponsor Sell-Down.

Section 2.02. Call Option. (a) If a
Management Member’s Services to the Company or any Subsidiary
terminate for any of the reasons set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) below (each such event a “Termination Event”),
the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to
purchase, from time to time after such termination of Services (x)
in the case of any Unvested Unit, for a period of 120 days (subject
to extension as provided below) immediately following the date of
the Termination Event and (y) in the case of any Class A Unit or
Vested Unit, for a period of 60 days (subject to extension as
provided below) immediately following the later of (A) the date of
the Termination Event and (B) the date that is six (6) months and
one day after the date on which such Management Members’ Unit
became a Vested Unit or after the date on which such Management
Member acquired such Class A Unit (the later of (A) and (B), the
“First Purchase Date”), and such Management Member
shall be required to sell to the Company, any or all of such Units
then held by such Management Member (it being understood that if
Units of any class subject to repurchase hereunder may be
repurchased at different prices, the Company, at its sole
discretion, may elect to repurchase all or any portion of the Units
of such class, including purchasing only such lower priced Units),
at a price per Unit equal to the applicable purchase price
determined pursuant to Section 2.02(c):
(i) if such Management
Member’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries is
terminated due to the Disability or death of the Management
Member;
(ii) if such Management
Member’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries is
terminated by the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause or by
the Management Member for any reason;
(iii) if such Management
Member’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries is
terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for
Cause.
Any Unvested Units purchased by the
Company shall be canceled.
(b) If on the 61st day following (x)
in the case of Class A Units, the date of the Termination Event and
(y) in the case of Vested Units, the First Purchase Date, the
Company has not purchased all of a terminated Management
Member’s Units, and the Company has not opted to extend its
60 day election period pursuant to Section 2.02(d), the Company
shall on or before the 61st day provide written notice to the
Investor Groups of (i) its decision not to purchase some or all of
such Units and (ii) the number of such Management Member’s
Eligible Units (defined below) which the Company did not purchase,
and the Investor Groups shall have the right to purchase and such
Management Member shall be required to sell to the Investor
Group(s), any or all of the Class A and Vested Units (the
“Eligible Units”) then held by such Management Member
at a price per Unit equal to the applicable purchase price
determined pursuant to Section 2.02(c). The Investor Groups’
rights to purchase such Eligible Units and each Management
Member’s corresponding obligation to sell such Eligible Units
shall terminate on the 120th day following (x) in the case of Class
A Units, the date of the Termination Event and (y) in the case of
Vested Units, the First Purchase Date. Upon receipt of the written
notice described above, each Investor Group desiring to purchase
Units shall within 45 days of receipt of the Company’s notice
provide written notice to the Company, specifying that such
Investor Group is willing to purchase either (i) its pro rata share
of the Eligible Units (based upon the number of Units held by such
Investor Group relative to the total number of Units held by all
of
7
the Investor Groups), (ii) a number
of Eligible Units less than such Investor Group’s pro rata
share, or (iii) any and all Units available to be purchased;
provided, that the Investor Groups shall, as much as reasonably
practicable, consult with each other and coordinate the exercise of
rights such that all Eligible Units are elected to be purchased.
Upon receipt of the Investor Groups’ respective notices, the
Company will notify the Management Member of the Investor
Group(s)’ elections and the Management Member will be
obligated to sell (x) to the Investor Groups making elections
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, the
number of Eligible Units elected to be purchased by such Investor
Groups and (y) all remaining Eligible Units, if any, to the
Investor Groups making the election described in clause (iii) of
the preceding sentence to such Investor Group(s) on a pro rata
basis (based upon the number of Units held by such Investor Group
relative to the total number of Units held by all of the Investor
Groups making such election), but in no event more that any such
Investor Groups elected to purchase.
(c) In the event of a purchase by
the Company pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and/or the Investor
Group(s) pursuant to Section 2.02(b) (each a “Units
Buyer”), the purchase price shall be:
(i) in the case of a Termination
Event specified in Section 2.02(a)(i) or 2.02(a)(ii):
|
|
(x)
|
for Class A Units and Vested Units, a price per
Unit equal to the most recently determined Fair Market Value;
and
|
|
|
(y)
|
for Unvested Units, a price per Unit equal to
the lesser of (1) the most recently determined Fair Market Value
and (2) Cost.
|
(ii) in the case of a Termination
Event specified in Section 2.02(a)(iii), for Class A Units, Vested
Units and Unvested Units, a price per Unit equal to the lesser of
(1) Fair Market Value and (2) Cost.
(d) The Units Buyer may pay the
purchase price for such Units (i) by delivery of funds deposited
into an account designated by the Management Member, a bank
cashier’s check, a certified check or a company check of the
Units Buyer for the purchase price; (ii) if the Units Buyer is the
Company and is prohibited from paying cash by financing or
liquidity constraints and is unable to pay the purchase price as
provided in clause (iii), by delaying the exercise of the purchase
right described under Section 2.02(a) until the earlier of (x) when
the financing restrictions lapse and (y) when the Company is able
to pay the purchase price as provided in clause (iii); or (iii) if
the Units Buyer is the Company and has the right to purchase such
Units during the period following a Qualified IPO (including in
respect of a purchase that was delayed pursuant to clause (ii)), by
delivery of a number of shares of Issuer Common Stock determined by
dividing (A) the aggregate purchase price of the Units being sold
by such Management Member by (B) the Public Share FMV as of the
close of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the
delivery thereof to the Management Member. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Units Buyer may deduct and
withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this
Agreement such amounts as necessary to comply with the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any
other provision of applicable law, with respect to the making of
such payment.
8
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary elsewhere herein, the Company shall not be obligated to
purchase any Units at any time pursuant to this Section 2.02,
regardless of whether it has delivered a notice of its election to
purchase any such Units, (i) to the extent that (A) the purchase of
such Units (together with any other purchases of Units pursuant to
Sections 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, or pursuant to similar provisions in
any other agreements with other investors of which the Company has
at such time been given or has given notice) or (B) in the event of
an election to purchase such Units with shares of Issuer Common
Stock, the issuance of such shares by the IPO Entity, the purchase
of such shares by the Company or the distribution of such shares to
the Management Member would result (x) in a violation of any law,
statute, rule, regulation, policy, order, writ, injunction, decree
or judgment promulgated or entered by any governmental authority
applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its
or their assets (including any unavailability of a registration
statement or exemption from registration necessary to allow
delivery of shares of Issuer Common Stock to the Management
Member), (y) after giving effect thereto (including any dividends
or other distributions or loans from a Subsidiary of the Company to
the Company in connection therewith), in a Financing Default or (z)
in the Company being required to disgorge any profit to the IPO
Entity pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, (ii) if
immediately prior to such purchase of Units, issuance of Issuer
Common Stock or purchase of shares of Issuer Common Stock, as the
case may be, there exists a Financing Default which prohibits such
issuance or purchase (including any dividends or other
distributions or loans from a Subsidiary of the Company to the
Company in connection therewith), or (iii) if the Company does not
have funds available to effect such purchase of Units or Issuer
Common Stock. The Company shall within 30 days of learning of any
such fact so notify the Management Member that it is not obligated
to purchase such Units and has deferred its right to make such
purchase until such violation, potential liability under the 1933
Act or 1934 Act, Financing Default or unavailability of funds would
not result therefrom or has ceased. The Company agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to cure any such Financing Default
that is curable. To the extent that, pursuant to this Section
2.02(e), the Company is not obligated to pay for a Management
Member’s Units in accordance with one of the payment methods
described in the first sentence of Section 2.02(d), the Company
shall, except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e), be
required to pay for such Units pursuant to an alternate method of
payment described in the first sentence of Section
2.02(d).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2.02, any Units which the
Company has elected to purchase from a Management Member, but which
in accordance with Section 2.02(e) are not purchased at the
applicable time provided in this Section 2.02, shall be purchased
by the Company on the tenth Business Day after such date or dates
that it is no longer permitted to defer purchasing such Units under
Section 2.02(e), and the Company shall give such Management Member
five Business Days prior notice of any such purchase.
Section 2.03. Put Right. (a) Subject
to the Call Right described in Section 2.02, following a Qualified
IPO and for so long as no Termination Event pursuant to Section
2.02(a)(iii) shall have occurred with respect to a Management
Member, such Management Member shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to sell (the “Put Right”) beginning on the
later of (i) in the case of Class A Units and Equity Units that
were Vested Units on the date of consummation of the Qualified IPO,
the later of (x) the first date immediately following the
expiration of any Company or underwriter “lock-up”
period applicable to such Qualified IPO and
9
(y) the date that is at least six
(6) months and one day after, (A) in the case of Class A Units, the
Sale Date, and (B) in the case of any Equity Units that were Vested
Units on the date of consummation of the Qualified IPO, the date on
which such Equity Units became Vested Units and (ii) in the case of
Equity Units that were Unvested Units on the date of consummation
of the Qualified IPO, the date that is six (6) months and one day
after the date on which such Management Member’s Units became
Vested Units (the later of (i) and (ii) shall be referred to as the
“First Put Date”), and the Company shall be required to
purchase from such Management Member, a number of such Management
Member’s Class A Units and Vested Units as determined by such
Management Member, at a price per Unit equal to the Fair Market
Value as of the date the Management Member exercises such Put
Right. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Call Right
described in Section 2.02, a Management Member shall remain
entitled to the Put Right following a Termination Event pursuant to
Sections 2.02(a)(i) or (ii) with respect to such Management
Member.
(b) Each Management Member who
desires to sell any of his or her Class A Units or Vested Units
following the applicable First Put Date shall send written notice
to the Company of his or her intention to sell such Units pursuant
to this Section 2.03. Subject to the exercise of any Call Right
pursuant to Section 2.02, the closing of the purchase shall take
place at the principal office of the Company on a date specified by
the Company no later than 30 days after the giving of such
notice.
(c) At the closing of a purchase
pursuant to a Put Right, the Company will pay to the Management
Member the purchase price for such Units (determined in accordance
with Section 2.03(a)) by delivery of a number of shares of Issuer
Common Stock determined by dividing (A) the aggregate purchase
price of the Units being sold by such Management Member by (B) the
Public Share FMV as of the close of trading on the trading day
immediately prior to the delivery thereof to the Management
Member.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary elsewhere herein, the Company shall not be obligated to
purchase any Units at any time pursuant to this Section 2.03 (i) to
the extent that (A) the purchase of such Units (together with any
other purchases of Units pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 hereof,
or pursuant to similar provisions in any other agreements with
other investors of which the Company has at such time been given or
has given notice) or (B) the issuance of shares by the IPO Entity
or the purchase of such shares by the Company would result (x) in a
violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, policy, order,
writ, injunction, decree or judgment promulgated or entered by any
governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of its or their assets (including any
unavailability of a registration statement or exemption from
registration necessary to allow delivery of shares of Issuer Common
Stock to the Management Member(s)), (y) after giving effect
thereto, in a Financing Default or (z) in the Company being
required to disgorge any profit to the IPO Entity pursuant to
Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act or (ii) if immediately prior to such
purchase of Units, issuance of Issuer Common Stock or purchase of
shares of Issuer Common Stock, as the case may be, there exists a
Financing Default which prohibits any such issuance or purchase.
The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure
any such Financing Default that is curable. To the extent that the
Company is not obligated to pay for any Units as described in the
first sentence of Section 2.03(c) pursuant to the terms of this
Section 2.03(d), the Company shall promptly notify any Management
Member that has delivered a notice of exercise of a Put Right that
it is not
10
obligated to purchase such Units and
has deferred its right to make such purchase until such violation,
potential liability under the 1933 Act or 1934 Act or Financing
Default would not result therefrom or has ceased.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2.03, any Units which a
Management Member has elected to sell to the Company, but which in
accordance with Section 2.03(d) are not purchased at the applicable
time provided in this Section 2.03, shall be purchased by the
Company on the tenth Business Day after such date or dates that it
is no longer permitted to defer purchasing such Units under Section
2.03(d), and the Company shall give such Management Member five
Business Days prior notice of any such purchase.
Section 2.04. Tag-Along Right. (a)
If, at any time prior to a Qualified IPO, one or more Sponsor
Members propose to Transfer, in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions, a number of Class A Units representing at
least 30% of the Sponsor Members’ aggregate Initial Equity
Stakes (as defined in the LLC Agreement) to any Person (other than
a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the LLC
Agreement) of any such Sponsor Member and other than a Transfer in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement and other than to
another Sponsor Member) (a “Tag-Along Purchaser”),
then, unless such transferring Sponsor Member(s) are entitled to
give and do give a Drag-Along Sale Notice (as defined in the LLC
Agreement) and no other Sponsor Member(s) has elected to purchase
its pro rata share of such Class A Units pursuant to Section
2.04(a) of the Sponsor Agreement, the Company shall first provide
written notice to each of the Management Members, which notice (the
“Tag-Along Notice”) shall state: (i) the maximum number
of Class A Units proposed to be Transferred (the “Tag-Along
Securities”); (ii) the purchase price per Unit (the
“Tag-Along Price”) for the Tag-Along Securities and
(iii) any other material terms and conditions of such sale,
including the proposed transfer date (which date will be within 60
business days after the termination of the Election Period (defined
below), subject to extension for any required regulatory
approvals). Each of the Management Members that has been provided
with the Tag-Along Notice (each, a “Tag-Along
Manager̶
