15. REDEEMABLE PARTNERSHIP UNITS

Before the reorganization and consummation of our initial public offering, upon the termination of employment, SLP had a right to call the terminated employee’s partnership units. In addition, the terminated employee also had a right to put the partnership units back to SLP upon termination or death, provided the terminated employee had complied with certain restrictions as described in SLP’s partnership agreement. With respect to the two founders of SLP, their estate, heirs or other permitted related parties could not require SLP to redeem their units prior to April 1, 2013. In accordance with the provisions of SLP’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, the put described above expired with the consummation of the Company’s IPO. The redemption value per share was based on a multiple of historical EBITDA, pursuant to SLP’s partnership agreement. Once units were called or put back to SLP, the redemption resulted in the issuance of a promissory note by SLP which was typically paid in installments over four years. SLP had redeemable partners’ capital of $102,017 as of December 31, 2012, which represented the amount of partners’ capital subject to both put and call rights.
