"); provided that, in the event any Repurchase Shares are issued,
promptly following the closing of the repurchase transaction, the Company may direct VH Holdings and VH Holdings
may accordingly redeem, and the holder of such Repurchase Shares shall sell to VH Holdings, all of the Repurchase
Shares for an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price for the Executive Units (or the portion thereof
previously assigned to the Repurchase Shares), which amount shall be paid in cash unless the conditions of clause (i) of

shall have been met, in which case, such amount may be paid through the issuance of a subordinated
promissory note of VH Holdings containing and subject to the same terms as provided in clause (i) of this Section 3(g)

services Executive provides (including service as a Manager, advisor or consultant as contemplated by and described in
Rule 701) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are terminated for Cause or Executive violates any non competition,
non solicitation or confidentiality covenants in favor of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any new parent entity of
CDW or VH Holdings) by which Executive is bound (whether contained in this Agreement or any other agreement),
then the repurchase rights under this Section 3
shall again apply to the repurchase of the Executive Units as if the date of
such event were the Date of Termination for purposes of this Section 3
; provided, however, that no such repurchase may
occur after any transaction that reduces the Institutional Investors' Class A Common Units to less than 10% of the Class
A Common Units acquired as of the date hereof.

to applicable laws of descent and distribution, (ii) to such Person's legal guardian (in case of any mental incapacity) or
(iii) among such Person's Family Group (each such Transfer, a " Permitted Transfer

contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Executive Units after any Transfer pursuant to
