partnership (including a limited partnership) or joint venture, and that no Unitholder be a partner or joint

venturer of any other Unitholder by virtue of this Agreement, for any purposes other than as set forth in

the last sentence of this Section 2.7, and neither this Agreement nor any other document entered into by

UNITS, CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOUNTS

Section 3.1Units; Capitalization.

(a)Units; Capitalization. The Company shall have the authority to issue an unlimited number

of Series A Common Units and Series B Common Units. The ownership by a Member of Common Units

shall entitle such Member to allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and Distributions of cash

and other property as set forth in Article IVhereof.

(b)Unit Ownership Ledger; Capital Contributions. The Manager shall create and maintain a

ledger (the “Unit Ownership Ledger”) setting forth the name and address of each Unitholder, the number

of each class of Units held of record by each such Unitholder and the amount of the Capital Contribution

made with respect to each class of Units and the date of such Capital Contribution. Upon any change in

the number or ownership of outstanding Units (whether upon an issuance of Units, a Transfer of Units, a

cancellation of Units or otherwise), the Manager shall amend and update the Unit Ownership Ledger.

Absent manifest error, the ownership interests recorded on the Unit Ownership Ledger shall be conclusive

record of the Units that have been issued and are outstanding. Each Unitholder named in the Unit

Ownership Ledger has made (or shall be deemed to have made) Capital Contributions to the Company as

set forth in the Unit Ownership Ledger in exchange for the Units specified in the Unit Ownership Ledger.

Any reference in this Agreement to the Unit Ownership Ledger shall be deemed a reference to the Unit

Ownership Ledger as amended and in effect from time to time.

(c)Certificates; Legends. Units shall be issued in uncertificated form; providedthat, at the

request of any Member, the Manager may cause the Company to issue one or more certificates to any

such Member holding Units representing in the aggregate the Units held by such Member. If any

10

certificate representing Units is issued, then such certificate shall bear a legend substantially in the

following form:

UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY

NON-U.S. OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED,

COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. THE MEMBERSHIP INTEREST IN

CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET

FORTH IN THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF

ACCELEVATION HOLDINGS LLC, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2026,

AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF

WHICH SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE RECORD

HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.

(d)Conversion of Prior Membership Interests. Contemporaneous with the execution and

effectiveness of this Agreement, all of the membership interests in the Company that were issued and

outstanding and held by the Members immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement are hereby

converted into the Series A Common Units and Series B Common Units, respectively, as set forth on the

Unit Ownership Ledger.

Section 3.2Authorization and Issuance of Additional Units.

(a)The Manager shall have the right to cause the Company to issue and/or create and issue at

any time after the date hereof, and for such amount and form of consideration as the Manager may

determine, additional Units or other Equity Securities of the Company (including creating classes or

series thereof having such powers, designations, preferences and rights as may be determined by the

Manager). The Manager shall have the power to make such amendments to this Agreement in order to

provide for such powers, designations, preferences and rights as the Manager in its discretion deems

necessary or appropriate to give effect to such additional authorization or issuance in accordance with the

provisions of this Section 3.2(a). In connection with any issuance of Units (whether on or after the date of

this Agreement), the Person who acquires such Units shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement

accepting and agreeing to be bound by all terms and conditions hereof, and shall enter into such other

documents, instruments and agreements to effect such purchase as are required by the Manager (including

such documents, instruments and agreements entered into on or prior to the date of this Agreement by the

Members, each, an “Equity Agreement”). The Company may not issue any additional Series A Common

Units or other Equity Securities to Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries except as set forth in Section 3.2(b),

Section 3.2(c)or Section 3.2(d).

(b)At any time Pubco issues one or more shares of Class A Common Stock or any other

Equity Securities of Pubco (other than an issuance of the type covered by Section 3.2(d)or an issuance to

a holder of Exchangeable Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, as described in Section 3.2(c)),

Pubco shall contribute to the Company all of the net proceeds (if any) received by Pubco with respect to

such share or shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Pubco. Upon the

contribution by Pubco to the Company of all of such net proceeds so received by Pubco, the Manager

11

shall cause the Company to issue a number of Series A Common Units (if Pubco issues shares of Class A

Common Stock), determined based upon the Exchange Rate then in effect, or an equal number of such

Equity Securities of the Company corresponding to the Equity Securities issued by Pubco (if Pubco issues

Equity Securities other than shares of Class A Common Stock) registered in the name of Pubco so that the

aggregate number of Series A Common Units and other Equity Securities of the Company held by Pubco

at all times equals the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and other Equity Securities issued by

Pubco issued and outstanding; provided, however, that if Pubco issues one or more shares of Class A

Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Pubco, some or all of the net proceeds of which are to be

used to fund expenses or other obligations of Pubco for which Pubco would be permitted a Distribution

pursuant to Article IV, then Pubco shall not be required to transfer such net proceeds to the Company

which are used or will be used to fund such expenses or obligations; providedfurther, that if Pubco issues

any shares of Class A Common Stock in order to purchase or fund the purchase of Common Units from a

Member (other than a Subsidiary of Pubco), then the Company shall not issue any new Common Units

registered in the name of Pubco in accordance with Section 3.2(c)and Pubco shall not be required to

transfer such net proceeds to the Company (it being understood that such net proceeds shall instead be

transferred by Pubco to such other Member as consideration for such purchase). Notwithstanding the

foregoing, this Section 3.2(b)shall not apply to the issuance and distribution to holders of shares of Class

A Common Stock of rights to purchase Equity Securities of Pubco under a “poison pill” or similar

shareholder’s rights plan (it being understood that (i) upon exchange of Exchangeable Units for Class A

Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, such Class A Common Stock would be issued

together with any such corresponding right, and (ii) in the event such rights to purchase Equity Securities

of Pubco are triggered, Pubco will ensure that the holders of Common Units that have not been exchanged

prior to such time will be treated equitably vis-à-vis the holders of Class A Common Stock under such

plan).

(c)At any time a holder of Exchangeable Units exchanges such Exchangeable Units for

shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company shall cancel such Exchangeable Units. Upon the

cancellation by the Company of the Exchangeable Units exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock,

the Manager shall cause the Company to issue a number of Series A Common Units equal to the

Exchanged Unit Amount, registered in the name of Pubco in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Exchange

Agreement. At any time a holder of Exchangeable Units exchanges such Exchangeable Units for a Cash

Payment, the Company shall cancel such Exchangeable Units and the Manager shall cause the Company

to issue a number of Series A Common Units equal to the Exchanged Unit Amount, registered in the

name of Pubco in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Exchange Agreement.

(d)At any time Pubco issues one or more shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity

Securities of Pubco in connection with an equity incentive program, whether such share or shares are

issued upon exercise (including cashless exercise) of an option, settlement of a restricted stock unit, as

restricted stock or otherwise, the Manager shall cause the Company to issue a corresponding number of

Series A Common Units or Equity Securities of the Company corresponding to the Equity Securities

issued by Pubco (if Pubco issues Equity Securities other than shares of Class A Common Stock), and with

substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and

other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of Pubco so issued, registered in the name of

Pubco (determined based upon the Exchange Rate then in effect) so that the aggregate number of Series A

Common Units and other Equity Securities held by Pubco at all times equals the number of shares of

Class A Common Stock and other Equity Securities issued and outstanding; providedthat Pubco shall be

required to contribute to the Company all (but not less than all) of the net proceeds (if any) received by

Pubco from or otherwise in connection with such issuance of one or more shares of Class A Common

Stock or other Equity Securities of Pubco, including the exercise price of any option exercised. If any

12

such shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities so issued by Pubco in connection with

an equity incentive program are subject to vesting or forfeiture provisions, then the Series A Common

Units or other Equity Securities of the Company corresponding to the Equity Securities issued by Pubco

(if Pubco issues Equity Securities other than shares of Class A Common Stock) that are issued by the

Company to Pubco in connection therewith in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section

3.2(d)shall be subject to vesting or forfeiture on the same basis; if any of such shares of Class A

Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Pubco vest or are forfeited, then a corresponding number of

the Series A Common Units (determined based upon the Exchange Rate then in effect) or other Equity

Securities issued by the Company corresponding to the Equity Securities issued by Pubco (if Pubco issues

Equity Securities other than shares of Class A Common Stock) in accordance with the preceding

provisions of this Section 3.2(d)shall automatically vest or be forfeited. Any cash or property held by

Pubco or the Company or on any of such Person’s behalf in respect of dividends paid on restricted shares

of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Pubco that fail to vest shall be returned to the

Company upon the forfeiture of such restricted shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity

Securities of Pubco.

(e)Pubco shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued

Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, the maximum number of

shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be issuable upon Exchange of all outstanding Series B

Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock to satisfy its obligations under the Exchange

Agreement; providedthat nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Pubco from satisfying

its obligations in respect of any such Exchange by delivery of purchased shares of Class A Common

Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of Pubco). If any shares of Class A Common Stock

require registration with or approval of any Governmental Entity under any federal or state law before

such shares may be issued upon an Exchange, Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the

exchange of such shares of Class A Common Stock to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.

Pubco shall list and use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of the Class A Common Stock

required to be delivered upon any such Exchange prior to such delivery upon the national securities

exchange upon which the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are listed at the time of such

Exchange (it being understood that any such shares may be subject to transfer restrictions under

applicable securities laws). Pubco covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an

Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(f)For purposes of this Section 3.2, “net proceeds” means gross proceeds to Pubco from the

issuance of Class A Common Stock or other securities less all reasonable bona fide out-of-pocket fees and

expenses of Pubco, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries actually incurred in connection with

such issuance.

Section 3.3Repurchase or Redemptions.

(a)Neither Pubco nor any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries)

may redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (i) shares of Class A Common Stock unless substantially

simultaneously therewith the Company redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires from Pubco or such

Subsidiary an equal number of Series A Common Units for the same price per security, if any, or (ii) any

other Equity Securities of Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries)

unless substantially simultaneously therewith the Company redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires

from Pubco or such Subsidiary an equal number of the corresponding class or series of Equity Securities

of the Company with the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon

13

liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of Pubco or such Subsidiary for

the same price per security, if any.

(b)The Company may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (i) any Series A

Common Units from Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries)

unless substantially simultaneously Pubco or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires

an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock for the same price per security from holders thereof

or (ii) any other Equity Securities of the Company from Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the

Company and its Subsidiaries) unless substantially simultaneously Pubco or such Subsidiary redeems,

repurchases or otherwise acquires for the same price per security an equal number of Equity Securities of

Pubco or such Subsidiary of a corresponding class or series with substantially the same rights to dividends

and distributions (including distributions on liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Units

of the Company.

Section 3.4Equity Subdivisions and Combinations. Except in accordance with the

Exchange Agreement or any other adjustments required by this Agreement:

(a)Any subdivision (by equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or

otherwise) or combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of Class

A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or other related class or series of Equity Security of Pubco

(including any Equity Security held in treasury) shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or

combination, as applicable, of the Common Units or other related class or series of Equity Security of the

Company, as applicable, with corresponding changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or

convertible Equity Security of the Company and Pubco.

(b)Any subdivision (by equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or

otherwise) or combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the

Units shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the Class A

Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or other related class or series of Equity Security of Pubco

(including any Equity Security held in treasury), as applicable, with corresponding changes made with

respect to any other exchangeable or convertible Equity Security of the Company and Pubco.

Section 3.5General Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to Section 3.1,

Section 3.2, Section 3.3and Section 3.4, the Company, Pubco and the Manager shall be permitted to

undertake all actions, including an issuance, redemption, reclassification, distribution, division or

recapitalization, with respect to the Series A Common Units as is necessary to maintain at all times a one-

to-one ratio between (i) the number of Series A Common Units owned by Pubco, directly or indirectly,

and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) the number of outstanding

shares of Class B Common Stock held by any Person (other than Pubco) and the number of Series B

Common Units held by such Person.

Section 3.6Capital Accounts.

(a)Maintenance of Capital Accounts. The Company shall maintain a separate Capital

Account for each Unitholder according to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

Without limiting the foregoing, each Unitholder’s Capital Account shall be adjusted:

(i)by adding any additional Capital Contributions made by such Unitholder

in consideration for the issuance of Units;

14

(ii)by deducting any amounts paid to such Unitholder in connection with the

redemption or other repurchase by the Company of Units;

(iii)by adding any Profits allocated in favor of such Unitholder and

subtracting any Losses allocated in favor of such Unitholder; and

(iv)by deducting any distributions paid in cash or other assets to such

Unitholder by the Company.

(b)Computation of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction Items. For purposes of computing the

amount of any item of the Company income, gain, loss or deduction to be allocated pursuant to Article IV

and to be reflected in the Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such

item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income Tax purposes

(including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for this purpose); provided

that:

(i)the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall

include those items described in Code Section 705(a)(1)(B), Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and

Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are

not includable in gross income or are not deductible for federal income Tax purposes;

(ii)if the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to

Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be

taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property;

(iii)items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of

the Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for Tax purposes

shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property;

(iv)items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions

with respect to the Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for

Tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property’s Book Value in accordance with

Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g);

(v)to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted Tax basis of any of the

Company’s asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required pursuant to

Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to be taken into account in determining Capital

Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of

gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such

basis); and if, as a result of an exercise of a noncompensatory option (as defined in Treasury

Regulations Section 1.721-2(f)) to acquire Units, a Capital Account reallocation is required under

Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Company shall make corrective

allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

Section 3.7Negative Capital Accounts; No Interest Regarding Positive Capital

Accounts. No Unitholder shall be required to pay to any other Unitholder or the Company any deficit or

negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Unitholder’s Capital Account (including

15

upon and after dissolution of the Company). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no

Unitholder shall be entitled to receive interest from the Company in respect of any positive balance in its

Capital Account and no Unitholder shall be liable to pay interest to the Company or any Unitholder in

respect of any negative balance in its Capital Account.

Section 3.8No Withdrawal. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such

Person’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company,

except as expressly provided herein.

Section 3.9Loans From Unitholders. Loans by Unitholders to the Company shall not be

considered Capital Contributions. If any Unitholder shall loan funds to the Company in excess of the

amounts required hereunder to be contributed by such Unitholder to the capital of the Company, the

making of such loans shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such

Unitholder. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Unitholder and shall be

payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

Section 3.10Adjustments to Capital Accounts for Distributions In-Kind. To the extent

that the Company distributes property in-kind to the Members, the Company shall be treated as making a

distribution equal to the Fair Market Value of such property (as of the date of such distribution) for

purposes of Section 4.1and such property shall be treated as if it were sold for an amount equal to its Fair

Market Value and any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in

accordance with Section 4.2through Section 4.4. If the Company distributes property in kind to any

Unitholder, the Company shall (a) first, to the extent possible, distribute (and be deemed to distribute) to

such Unitholder any such property that the Unitholder contributed to the Company (or any such property

received by the Company in a tax-deferred exchange for property contributed to the Company by such

Unitholder) and (b) second, to the extent no further distribution can be made in accordance with subclause

(a), or if such Unitholder did not contribute property to the Company, then the Company shall, to the

extent possible, distribute (and be deemed to distribute) to the Unitholder property other than such

property that was contributed to the Company by another Unitholder (or any such property received by

the Company in a tax-deferred exchange for property contributed to the Company by a Unitholder), to the

extent that such Unitholder is entitled to receive a Distribution at such time under the economic priorities

set out in Article IV.

Section 3.11Transfer of Capital Accounts. The original Capital Account established for

each Substituted Member shall be in the same amount as the Capital Account of the Member (or portion

thereof) to which such Substituted Member succeeds at the time such Substituted Member is admitted to

as a Member of the Company. The Capital Account of any Member whose interest in the Company shall

be increased or decreased by means of (a) the Transfer to it of all or part of the Units of another Member

or (b) the repurchase or forfeiture of Units pursuant to any Equity Agreement shall be appropriately

adjusted to reflect such Transfer or repurchase. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution

of or Distribution to a Member that has succeeded any other Member shall include any Capital

Contributions or Distributions previously made by or to the former Member on account of the Units of

such former Member Transferred to such Member.

Section 3.12Adjustments to Book Value. The Company shall adjust the Book Value of its

assets to Fair Market Value in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as of

the following times: (a) at the Manager’s discretion in connection with the issuance of Units in the

Company or a more than de minimisCapital Contribution to the Company; (b) at the Manager’s discretion

in connection with the Distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimisamount of

16

the Company’s assets, including money; and (c) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of

Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g). Any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an

asset shall be allocated as a Profit or Loss to the Capital Accounts of the Members under Section 4.2

(determined immediately prior to the event giving rise to the revaluation). The Company shall adjust the

Book Value of its property under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) in connection with

and immediately after the IPO Transactions (the “IPO 704(c) Event”).

Section 3.13Compliance With Section 1.704-1(b). The provisions of this Agreement relating

to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations

Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury

Regulations. In the event the Manager shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the

Capital Accounts are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Manager may

make such modification, notwithstanding anything in Section 11.2to the contrary. The Manager also shall

(a) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital

Accounts of the Members and the amount of the Company capital reflected on the Company’s balance

sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(iv)(g),

and (b) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this

Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

Section 4.1Distributions.

(a)Tax Distributions.

(i)Tax Distributions. To the extent funds of the Company are legally

available for distribution by the Company and such distribution would not be prohibited under

any credit facility to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (the “Tax

Distribution Conditions”), with respect to each Fiscal Quarter, on or prior to the relevant Tax

Distribution Date, the Company shall distribute to each Unitholder an amount of cash (each a

“Tax Distribution”) equal to such Unitholder’s Assumed Tax Liability for such Fiscal Quarter. To

the extent a holder of Common Units would receive for any Fiscal Quarter less than its Pro Rata

Share of the aggregate Tax Distributions to be paid pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Tax

Distributions to such Unitholder shall be increased to ensure that all Tax Distributions to holders

of Common Units are made in accordance with their Pro Rata Share. The Manager shall be

entitled to adjust subsequent Tax Distributions up or down to reflect any variation between its

prior estimation of quarterly Tax Distributions and the Tax Distributions that would have been

computed under this Section 4.1(a)(i)based on subsequent information. In the event that due to

the Tax Distribution Conditions the funds available for any Tax Distribution to be made

hereunder are insufficient to pay the full amount of the Tax Distribution that would otherwise be

required under this Section 4.1(a)(i), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to

distribute to the Unitholders the amount of funds that are available after application of the Tax

Distribution Conditions on a pro rata basis (according to the amounts that would have been

distributed to each Unitholder pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)(i)if available funds (after

application of the Tax Distribution Conditions) existed in a sufficient amount to make such

Distribution in full). At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are available

17

for Distribution after application of the Tax Distribution Conditions, the Company shall use its

reasonable best efforts to immediately distribute such funds to the Unitholders on a pro rata basis

(according to the amounts that would have been distributed to each Unitholder pursuant to this

Section 4.1(a)(i)if available funds (after application of the Tax Distribution Conditions) would

have existed in a sufficient amount to make such Tax Distribution in full). Notwithstanding the

foregoing, Distributions pursuant to Section 4.1(b)with respect any taxable period shall first be

treated as Tax Distributions pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)(i)to the extent of any entitlement

thereto.

(ii)Additional Tax Distributions. In the event (A) of any audit by, or similar

event with, a taxing authority that affects the calculation of any Unitholder’s Assumed Tax

Liability for any Taxable Year (other than an audit conducted pursuant to the Partnership Tax

Audit Rules for which no election is made pursuant to Code Section 6226 (or any similar

provision of state or local law)) or (B) the Company files an amended tax return, each

Unitholder’s Assumed Tax Liability with respect to such year shall be recalculated by giving

effect to such event (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account interest and penalties). Any

shortfall in the amount of Tax Distributions the Unitholders and former Unitholders received for

the relevant Taxable Years based on such recalculated Assumed Tax Liability promptly shall be

distributed to such Unitholders and the successors of such former Unitholders in accordance with

their Pro Rata Share of such additional Tax Distributions, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to

the extent Distributions were made to such Unitholders and former Unitholders pursuant to

Section 4.1in the relevant Taxable Years sufficient to cover such shortfall.

(b)Other Distributions. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.1(a), the Manager may

(but shall not be obligated to) make Distributions at such time, in such amounts and in such form

(including in-kind property) as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, in each case to the

holders of Common Units immediately prior to such Distribution on a pro rata basis.

Section 4.2Allocations. Profits or Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the

Unitholders in such a manner as to reduce or eliminate, to the extent possible, any difference, as of the

end of such Fiscal Year, between (a) the sum of (i) the Capital Account of each Unitholder, (ii) such

Unitholder’s share of Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation

Section 1.704-2(g)) and (iii) such Unitholder’s partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in

Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) and (b) the respective net amounts, positive or negative, which

would be distributed to them or for which they would be liable to the Company under this Agreement and

the Delaware Act, determined as if the Company were to (i) liquidate the assets of the Company for an

amount equal to their Book Value and (ii) distribute the proceeds of such liquidation pursuant to Section

10.2.

Section 4.3Special Allocations.

(a)Minimum Gain Chargeback. Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined

in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury

Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Taxable Year in partner nonrecourse debt

minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)), Profits for such Taxable Year

(and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) shall be allocated to the Unitholders in the amounts and

of such character as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).

18

(b)Unitholder Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Chargeback. Nonrecourse deductions (as

determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Taxable Year shall be

allocated to each holder of Common Units ratably among such Unitholders based upon their ownership of

Common Units. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3(a), if there is a net decrease in the Minimum

Gain during any Taxable Year, each Unitholder shall be allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if

necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according

to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 4.3(b)is intended to be a Minimum Gain

chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), and

shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(c)Qualified Income Offset. If any Unitholder that unexpectedly receives an adjustment,

allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has

an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the application of

Section 4.3(a)and Section 4.3(b),but before the application of any other provision of this Article IV, then

Profits for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Unitholder in proportion to, and to the extent of,

such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 4.3(c)is intended to be a qualified income offset

provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a

manner consistent therewith.

(d)Allocation of Certain Profits and Losses. Profits and Losses described in Section

3.6(b)(v)shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital

Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j), (k) and

(m).

(e)RegulatoryAllocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 4.3(a)-(d) (the “Regulatory

Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the

Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the

Unitholders intend to allocate Profit and Loss of the Company or make the Company distributions.

Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, but subject to the Regulatory

Allocations, income, gain, deduction and loss shall be reallocated among the Unitholders so as to

eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of

the Unitholders to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Profit and

Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been allocated without reference to

the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Unitholders anticipate that this will be accomplished by

specially allocating other Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss)

among the Unitholders so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations

to each such Unitholder is zero. In addition, if in any Fiscal Year there is a decrease in partnership

Minimum Gain, or in partner nonrecourse debt Minimum Gain, and application of the Minimum Gain

chargeback requirements set forth in Section 4.3(a)or Section 4.3(b)would cause a distortion in the

economic arrangement among the Unitholders, the Unitholders may, if they do not expect that the

Company will have sufficient other income to correct such distortion, request the Internal Revenue

Service to waive either or both of such Minimum Gain chargeback requirements. If such request is

granted, this Agreement shall be applied in such instance as if it did not contain such Minimum Gain

chargeback requirement.

(f)The Unitholders acknowledge that allocations like those described in Proposed Treasury

Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) (“Forfeiture Allocations”) may result from the allocations of

Profits and Losses provided for in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is entitled to

make Forfeiture Allocations and, once required by applicable final or temporary guidance, allocations of

19

Profits and Losses will be made in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulations

Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) or any successor provision or guidance.

(g)Any excess nonrecourse liabilities of the Company, within the meaning of Treasury

Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be allocated to the Members in any manner that is permissible

under the Treasury Regulations.

(h)Any item of deduction with respect to a Tax that is offset at the Manager’s election

pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.6 against a Distribution to which a Unitholder is otherwise

entitled shall be allocated to such Unitholder. For the avoidance of doubt, all tax deductions described in

this Section 4.3(h)shall be taken into account in determining the amount of any Tax Distribution made

under the provisions of Section 4.1(a)(i).

Section 4.4Offsetting Allocations. If, and to the extent that, any Member is deemed to

recognize any item of income, gain, deduction or loss as a result of any transaction between such Member

and the Company pursuant to Sections 83, 482 or 7872 of the Code or any similar provision now or

hereafter in effect, the Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allocate any

corresponding Profit or Loss to the Member who recognizes such item in order to reflect the Members’

economic interest in the Company.

Section 4.5Tax Allocations.

(a)Allocations Generally. Except as provided in Section 4.5(b), for federal, state and local

income Tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated among the

Unitholders in the same manner and in the same proportion that the corresponding book items have been

allocated among the Unitholders’ respective Capital Accounts; provided that, if any such allocation is not

permitted by the Code or other applicable law, then each subsequent item of income, gains, losses,

deductions and credits will be allocated among the Unitholders so as to reflect as nearly as possible the

allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b)Code Section 704(c) Allocations.

(i)As a result of the IPO 704(c) Event, items of Company taxable income,

gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated to take into account any variation between the adjusted

basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value, in each case, in

accordance with the “traditional method,” except that the Company shall make curative

allocations of the resulting tax gain from the sale or disposition of each such property in a manner

that is intended to offset the effect of the cumulative amount of any "ceiling rule limitations" with

respect to allocations of depreciation or amortization deductions in respect of any such

differences between the Book Value of any such item of property and its adjusted Tax basis that

are created in connection with any such contribution or adjustment of Book Value for each such

property, as the case may be, as outlined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B) (the

"TraditionalMethod with Curative Allocations").

(ii)If (A) any property is contributed (or deemed contributed for Tax

purposes) to the Company, or (B) if the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted

pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f) (any such contribution or

adjustment of Book Value described in clauses (A) or (B), a "704(c) Event"), items of Company

20

taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated using the Traditional Method with

Curative Allocations; provided, that with respect to any 704(c) Event, Holdings may withhold

consent to the use of the Traditional Method with Curative Allocations with respect to such

704(c) Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any 704(c) Event in connection with the IPO

Transactions) to the extent Holdings delivers written notice to the Company prior to February 21st

of the Taxable Year following the Taxable Year including the 704(c) Event (the "Notice Date")

that consent is withheld to the use of the Traditional Methodwith Curative Allocations with

respect to such 704(c) Event, and solely to the extent such written notice is timely delivered and

such consent is not unreasonably withheld or conditioned, Holdings shall cooperate in good faith

to timely agree on an alternative methodology permissible under Section 704(c) of the Code with

respect to the 704(c) Event, and such mutually agreed alternative methodology (unless the

Traditional Method with Curative Allocations is mutually agreed) shall be used by the Company

with respect to such 704(c) Event. The Company shall reasonably cooperate to provide its

analysis and any modeling with respect to the choice of allocation methodology for any Taxable

Year, as well as any other information reasonably requested by Holdings which is reasonably

necessary to determine whether to consent or object to such methodology, at least 10 days in

advance of the Notice Date for such Taxable Year.

(c)Section 754 Election. The Company will make an election under Section 754 of the Code

for its Taxable Year that includes or begins on the date of this Agreement, and shall have such election in

effect for each subsequent Taxable Year, to adjust the basis of the Company property as permitted and

provided in Sections 734 and 743 of the Code, and the Manager shall take commercially reasonable

efforts to cause each Person in which the Company owns a direct or indirect equity interest (other than a

Subsidiary) that is so treated as a partnership to have in effect any such election for such Taxable Years.

Such election shall be effective solely for federal (and, if applicable, state and local) income Tax purposes

and shall not result in any adjustment to the Book Value of any Company asset or to the Member’s

Capital Accounts (except as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)).

(d)Allocation of Tax Credits, Tax Credit Recapture, Etc. Allocations of Tax credits, Tax

credit recapture and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Unitholders according to their

interests in such items as determined by the Manager taking into account the principles of Treasury

Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) and (viii).

(e)Corrective Allocations.  If necessary, the Company will make corrective allocations as set

forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

(f)Effect of Allocations. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.5are solely for purposes of

federal, state and local Taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any

Unitholder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, Distributions (other than Tax Distributions) or

other items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 4.6Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member.

Except as otherwise provided in Article VI, if the Company (or any other entity in which the Company

owns a direct or indirect interest) is required by law to make any payment to a Governmental Entity that

is specifically attributable to a Member or a Member’s status as such (including federal withholding

Taxes, state personal property Taxes and state unincorporated business Taxes, Taxes arising under the

Partnership Tax Audit Rules, the amount of any Taxes imposed under Code Section 1446(f), and any

interest, penalties, additions to Tax and expenses related to any such amounts) (“Tax Advances”), then

21

such Member shall indemnify and contribute to the Company in full for the entire amount of Tax

Advances paid. The Manager may offset Distributions to which a Person is otherwise entitled under this

Agreement against such Person’s obligation to indemnify the Company for Tax Advances under this

Section 4.6or with respect to any other amounts owed by the Member to the Company or any of its

Subsidiaries. A Member’s obligation to indemnify and make contributions to the Company under this

Section 4.6shall survive the transfer or termination of any Member’s interest in any Units of the

Company, the termination of this Agreement, and the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up

of the Company (and for purposes of this Section 4.6to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the

Company shall be treated as continuing in existence). The Company may pursue and enforce all rights

and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 4.6, including instituting a lawsuit to

collect such indemnification and contribution, with interest calculated at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus

three percentage points per annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law),

compounded on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter. For the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes, penalties and

interest payable under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules by the Company or any fiscally transparent entity

in which the Company owns an interest shall be treated as Tax Advances specifically allocable to the

Members and the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate the

burden of (or any diminution in distributable proceeds resulting from) any such Taxes, penalties or

interest to the Members to whom such amounts are specifically attributable (whether as a result of their

status, actions, inactions or otherwise) as determined by the Partnership Representative.

ARTICLE V

MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF BUSINESS

Section 5.1Management.

(a)Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or the Delaware Act, the

business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed, operated and controlled at the sole,

absolute and exclusive direction of the Manager in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No

Members shall have management authority or voting or other rights over, or any other ability to take part

in the conduct or control of the business of, the Company. The Manager is hereby designated as a

“manager” within the meaning of Section 18-101(12) of the Delaware Act. The Manager is, to the extent

of its rights and powers set forth in this Agreement, an agent of the Company for the purpose of the

Company’s business, and the actions of the Manager taken in accordance with such rights and powers

shall bind the Company (and no Member shall have such right). The Manager shall have all necessary

powers to carry out the purposes, business and objectives of the Company. The Manager may delegate in

its discretion the authority to sign agreements and other documents and take other actions on behalf of the

Company to any Person (including any Member, officer or employee of the Company) to enter into and

perform any document on behalf of the Company.

(b)Without limiting Section 5.1(a), the Manager shall have the sole power and authority to

effect any of the following by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in one or a series of related

transaction, in each case without the vote, consent or approval of any Unitholder: (i) any sale, lease,

transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company

(including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other

right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company); (ii) any merger,

consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity, (iii) any

acquisition; (iv) any issuance of debt or equity securities; (v) any incurrence of indebtedness; or (vi) any

Agreement, if a vote, consent or approval of the Unitholders is required by the Delaware Act or other

22

applicable law with respect to any action to be taken by the Company or matter considered by the

Manager, each Unitholder will be deemed to have consented to or approved such action or voted on such

matter in accordance with the consent or approval of the Manager on such action or matter.

written notice to the Company (a) any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Pubco, (b) any Person of which Pubco

is a wholly-owned Subsidiary, (c) any Person into which Pubco is merged or consolidated or (d) any

transferee of all or substantially all of the assets of Pubco, which withdrawal and replacement shall be

effective upon the delivery of such notice. No appointment of a Person other than Pubco (or its successor,

as the case may be) as Manager shall be effective unless Pubco (or its successor, as the case may be) and

the new Manager provide all Members with contractual rights, directly enforceable by such Members

against the new Manager, to cause the new Manager to comply with all of the Manager’s obligations

under this Agreement.

Section 5.2Investment Company Act. The Manager shall use reasonable best efforts to

ensure that the Company shall not be subject to registration as an investment company pursuant to the

Investment Company Act.

be a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Financial Officer, a Treasurer and a Secretary and each

other officer of Pubco shall also be an officer of the Company, with the same title. All officers shall be

appointed by the Manager (or by the Chief Executive Officer to the extent the Manager delegates such

authority to the Chief Executive Officer) and shall hold office until their successors are appointed by the

Manager (or by the Chief Executive Officer to the extent the Manager delegates such authority to the

Chief Executive Officer). Two or more offices may be held by the same individual. The officers of the

Company may be removed by the Manager (or by the Chief Executive Officer to the extent the Manager

delegates such authority to the Chief Executive Officer) at any time for any reason or no reason.

powers and perform such duties as shall be determined from time to time by the Manager.

of the Company and shall have the general powers and duties of supervision and management usually

vested in the office of a chief executive officer of a company. He or she shall preside at all meetings of

the Company and shall keep and maintain or cause to be kept and maintained adequate and correct books

and records of accounts of the properties and business transactions of the Company. The books of account

other valuables in the name and to the credit of the Company in such depositaries as may be designated

by the Manager or the Chief Executive Officer. The Treasurer shall disburse the funds of the Company as

may be ordered by the Manager, the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer, taking proper

vouchers for such disbursements. He or she shall render to the Manager and the Chief Executive Officer

whenever either of them may request it, an account of all his or her transactions as Treasurer and of the

bond for the faithful discharge of his or her duties in such amount and with such surety as the Manager

shall prescribe.

(g)Secretary. The Secretary shall give, or cause to be given, notice of all meetings of

Members and all other notices required by applicable law or by this Agreement, and in case of his or her

absence or refusal or neglect so to do, any such notice may be given by any person thereunto directed by

of the Company and shall perform such other duties as may be assigned to him or her by the Manager or

by the Chief Executive Officer.

(h)Other Officers. Other officers, if any, shall have such powers and shall perform such

duties as shall be assigned to them, respectively, by the Manager or by the Chief Executive Officer.

Section 5.4Fiduciary Duties.

(a)Members and Unitholders. To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding

any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, no Member or Unitholder, solely in its capacity as such,

shall owe any fiduciary duty to the Company, the Manager, any Member, any Unitholder or any other

Person bound by this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual

covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Nothing in this Section 5.4(a)shall limit the liabilities, duties or

obligations of any Member or Unitholder acting in his or her capacity as an officer or manager pursuant to

any other provision of this Agreement.

(b)Manager and Officers. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this

Agreement, except as set forth in Section 5.4(c), (i) the Manager shall, in its capacity as Manager, and not

in any other capacity, have the same fiduciary duties to the Company and the Unitholders and Members

as a member of the board of directors of a Delaware corporation; and (ii) each officer of the Company

shall, in his or her capacity as such, and not in any other capacity, have the same fiduciary duties to the

Company and the Unitholders and Members as an officer of a Delaware corporation. For the avoidance of

doubt, the fiduciary duties described in the immediately preceding clause (i) shall not be limited by the

fact that the Manager shall be permitted to take certain actions in its sole or reasonable discretion pursuant

to the terms of this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith.

(c)Manager Conflicts. The parties hereto acknowledge that the members of the Board will

owe fiduciary duties to Pubco and its stockholders. The Manager will use commercially reasonable and

appropriate efforts and means, as determined in good faith by the Manager, to minimize any conflict of

interest between the Members, on the one hand, and the stockholders of Pubco, on the other hand, and to

effectuate any transaction that involves or affects any of the Company, the Manager, the Members and/or

the stockholders of Pubco in a manner that does not (i) disadvantage the Members of their interests

relative to the stockholders of Pubco, (ii) advantage the stockholders of Pubco relative to the Members or

(iii) treat the Members and the stockholders of Pubco differently; providedthat in the event of a conflict

24

between the interests of the stockholders of Pubco and the interests of the Members, such Members agree

that the Manager shall discharge its fiduciary duties to such Members by acting in the best interests of

Pubco’s stockholders.

(d)Waiver. Any duties and liabilities set forth in this Agreement shall replace those existing

at law or in equity and each of the Company, each Member and Unitholder and any other Person bound

by this Agreement hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including Section 18-1101(e)

of the Delaware Act, waives the right to make any claim, bring any action or seek any recovery based on

any duties or liabilities existing at law or in equity other than any such duties and liabilities set forth in

this Agreement.

(e)Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.4shall survive any amendment, repeal or

termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1Exculpation.

(a)Actions in Capacity as a Member or Unitholder. To the fullest extent permitted by

applicable law, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Member, Unitholder (other than the

Manager, acting in its capacity as such) or its respective Indemnitees shall be liable to the Company, any

Member, any Unitholder or any other Person bound by this Agreement as a result of or arising out any

action of or omission by such Member or Unitholder solely in its capacity as a Member or Unitholder,

except to the extent such Obligations arise out of such Member’s (i) material breach of this Agreement or

any other Transaction Document or (ii) bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good

faith and fair dealing, in each case as determined by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a

court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal

therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected).

(b)Other Actions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and except as otherwise

expressly provided herein, including Section 6.5, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company, any

Member, any Unitholder or any other Person bound by this Agreement as a result of or arising out of the

activities of the Indemnitee on behalf of the Company to the extent within the scope of the authority

reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be conferred on such Indemnitee, except to the extent such

Indemnitee would not be entitled to exculpation or indemnification pursuant to the articles of

incorporation and bylaws of Pubco (as the same may be amended from time to time).

Section 6.2Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of (a)

the Manager, (b) the Unitholders and the Members and their respective Affiliates, (c) the stockholders,

members, managers, directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the Unitholders, the Members

and their respective Affiliates and (d) the officers and directors of the Manager, the Company and each of

their Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from

and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including legal fees and expenses),

judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits

or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, “Obligations”), which at any

time may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee as a result of or arising out of

this Agreement, Pubco, the Company, their respective assets, businesses or affairs or the activities of the

Indemnitee on behalf of Pubco, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to the extent within the scope of

25

the authority reasonably believed to be conferred on such Indemnitee; provided, however, that, to the

extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to exculpation with respect to such Obligations pursuant to Section

6.5, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification for any such Obligations to the extent such

Indemnitee would not be entitled to exculpation or indemnification pursuant to the articles of

incorporation and bylaws of Pubco (as the same may be amended from time to time); provided further,

that, to the extent such Indemnitee is entitled to exculpation with respect to such Obligations pursuant to

Section 6.5, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification for any such Obligations to the extent

they arise out of such Indemnitee’s (i) material breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction

Document or (ii) bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

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 the Indemnitee was

not entitled to indemnification hereunder. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.2shall be made

only out of the assets of the Company and no Member shall have any personal liability on account

thereof.

Section 6.3Expenses. Expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by

an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding described in Section 6.2shall,

from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand,

action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the

Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be

indemnified as provided in Section 6.2; provided that such undertaking shall be unsecured and interest

free and shall be accepted without regard to an Indemnitee’s ability to repay amounts advanced and

without regard to an Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification.

Section 6.4Non-Exclusivity; Savings Clause. The indemnification and advancement of

expenses set forth in Section 6.2and Section 6.3shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those

seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any other agreement, policy

of insurance or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in Section 6.2and

Section 6.3shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a named Indemnitee and shall inure

to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of such a Person. If

Article VI, Section 6.2or Section 6.3or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any

court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless exculpate, indemnify and advance

expenses each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of such sections not so

invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The exculpation, indemnification and

advancement of expenses provisions set forth in Article VI, Section 6.2and Section 6.3shall be deemed

to be a contract between the Company and each of the persons constituting Indemnitees at any time while

such provisions remain in effect, whether or not such Person continues to serve in such capacity and

whether or not such Person is a party hereto. In addition, neither Article VI, Section 6.2nor Section 6.3

may be retroactively amended to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee arising in connection with

any acts, omissions, facts or circumstances occurring prior to such amendment.

Section 6.5Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the

Indemnitees against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in such capacity, or arising

out of their status as Indemnitees, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify them

against such liability under this Section 6.5.

26

ARTICLE VII

ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS; TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1Accounting and Records. The books and records of the Company shall be made

and maintained, and the financial position and the results of its operations recorded, at the expense of the

Company, in accordance with such method of accounting as is determined by the Manager. The books

and records of the Company shall reflect all Company transactions and shall be made and maintained in a

manner that is appropriate and adequate for the Company’s business.

Section 7.2Preparation of Tax Returns. The Company shall arrange for the preparation

and timely filing of all Tax returns required to be filed by the Company, including making the elections

described in Section 7.3 and shall use reasonable best efforts to furnish, within seventy-five (75 days of

the close of each Taxable Year, the tax information reasonably required by the Unitholders (including a

final Schedule K-1) for federal and state income Tax and any other Tax reporting purposes. Each

Unitholder shall furnish to the Company all pertinent information in its possession relating to the

Company’s operations that is necessary to enable the Company’s income Tax returns to be prepared and

filed.

Section 7.3Tax Elections. The Taxable Year shall be the Fiscal Year unless otherwise

determined by the Manager and permitted or required by Section 706 of the Code. The Manager shall

determine whether to make or revoke any available election pursuant to the Code, except as otherwise set

forth in this Agreement. Each Unitholder will upon request supply any information necessary to give

proper effect to such election.

Section 7.4Tax Controversies.

(a)The Manager shall be the “partnership representative” (the “Partnership Representative”)

of the Company for purposes of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, and, as such, shall be authorized to

designate any other Person selected by the Manager as the Partnership Representative or to designate any

Person as the “designated individual” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section

301.6223-1(b)(3).

(b)Subject to this Section 7.4, the Partnership Representative shall have the sole authority to

act on behalf of the Company in connection with, make all relevant decisions regarding the application of

and to exercise the rights and powers provided for in, the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, including making

any elections under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules or any decisions to settle, compromise, challenge,

litigate or otherwise alter the defense of any action, claim, proceeding, audit or examination before the

IRS or any other tax authority (each, an “Audit”), and to expend Company funds for professional services

and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, the Partnership Representative shall give prompt written

notice to Holdings of the commencement of any Audit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a

“Specified Audit”). The Partnership Representative shall (i) keep Holdings reasonably informed of the

material developments of any such Specified Audit, (ii) permit Holdings (or its designee) to participate

(including using separate counsel), in each case at Holdings’ sole cost and expense, in any such Specified

Audit and (iii) promptly notify Holdings of receipt of a notice of a final partnership adjustment (or

equivalent under applicable laws) or a final decision of a court or IRS appeals panel (or equivalent body

under applicable laws) with respect to such Specified Audit. The Partnership Representative or the

Company shall promptly provide Holdings with copies of all material correspondence between the

27

Partnership Representative or the Company (as applicable) and any Governmental Entity in connection

with such Specified Audit and shall give Holdings a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on

any material correspondence, submission (including settlement or compromise offers) or filing in

connection with any such Specified Audit. Additionally, the Partnership Representative shall not (and the

Company shall not (and shall not authorize the Partnership Representative to)) settle, compromise or

abandon any Specified Audit in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate

(as compared to Pubco) and material adverse effect on Holdings (or its direct or indirect equityholders)

without Holdings’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The

Partnership Representative shall obtain the prior written consent of Holdings (not to be unreasonably

withheld, delayed or conditioned) before (i) making an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (or any

analogous provision of state or local Law) or (ii) taking any material action under the Partnership Tax

Audit Rules that would reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate (compared to Pubco) and

material adverse effect on Holdings, in the case of each of clauses (i)and (ii).

(d)This Section 7.4shall be interpreted to apply to Members and former Members and shall

survive the transfer of a Member’s Company Units and the termination, dissolution, liquidation and

winding up of the Company and, for this purpose to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the

Company shall be treated as continuing in existence.

Section 7.5Code § 83 Safe Harbor Election.

(a)By executing this Agreement, each Unitholder authorizes and directs the Company to

elect to have the “Safe Harbor” described in the proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in the Internal

Revenue Service Notice 2005-43 (the “IRS Notice”) or in any successor, guidance or provision apply to

any interest in the Company transferred to a service provider by the Company on or after the effective

date of such Revenue Procedure in connection with services provided to the Company. For purposes of

making such Safe Harbor election, the Partnership Representative is hereby designated as the “partner

who has responsibility for federal income Tax reporting” by the Company and, accordingly, that

execution of such Safe Harbor election by the Partnership Representative constitutes execution of a “Safe

Harbor Election” in accordance with Section 3.03(1) of the IRS Notice. Each Unitholder hereby agrees to

comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor described in the IRS Notice, including, the requirement

that each Unitholder shall prepare and file all federal income Tax returns reporting the income Tax effects

of each Unit issued by the Company that qualifies for the Safe Harbor in a manner consistent with the

requirements of the IRS Notice.

(b)Any Unitholder or former Unitholder that fails to comply with requirements set forth in

Section 7.5(a)shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each adversely affected Unitholder

and former Unitholder from and against any and all losses, liabilities, Taxes, damages, judgments, fines,

costs, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in

connection therewith (including, costs and expenses of suits and proceedings and reasonable fees and

disbursements of counsel), in each case resulting from such Unitholder’s or former Unitholder’s failure to

comply with such requirements. The Manager may offset Distributions to which a Person is otherwise

entitled under this Agreement against such Person’s obligation to indemnify the Company and any other

Person under this Section 7.5(b)(and any amount so offset with respect to such Person’s obligation to

indemnify a Person other than the Company shall be paid over to such other Person by the Company). A

Unitholder’s obligations to comply with the requirements of Section 7.5(a)and to indemnify the

Company and any Unitholder or former Unitholder under this Section 7.5(b)shall survive such

Unitholder’s ceasing to be a Unitholder of the Company and/or the termination, dissolution, liquidation

and winding up of the Company, and, for purposes of this Section 7.5, the Company shall be treated as

28

continuing in existence. The Company and any Unitholder or former Unitholder may pursue and enforce

all rights and remedies it may have against each Unitholder or former Unitholder under this Section

7.5(b), including (i) instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnification and contribution, with interest

calculated at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus three percentage points per annum (but not in excess of the

highest rate per annum permitted by law), compounded on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, and (ii)

specific performance and/or immediate injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent

jurisdiction (without the necessity of showing actual money damages, or posting any bond or other

security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of Section 7.5(a).

(c)Each Unitholder authorizes the Manager to amend paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section

7.5to the extent necessary to achieve substantially the same Tax treatment with respect to any interest

Units Transferred to a service provider by the Company in connection with services provided to the

Company as set forth in Section 4 of the IRS Notice (e.g., to reflect changes from the rules set forth in the

IRS Notice in subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance); provided, that such amendment is not

materially adverse to any Unitholder (as compared with the after-Tax consequences that would result if

the provisions of the IRS Notice applied to all Units Transferred to a service provider by the Company in

connection with services provided to the Company).

ARTICLE VIII

TRANSFER OF UNITS; ADMISSION OF NEW MEMBERS

Section 8.1Transfer of Units. Other than as provided for in this Section 8.1, no Member

may sell, assign, transfer, grant a participation in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of

(such transaction being herein collectively called a “Transfer”) all or any portion of its Units except with

the approval of the Manager, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. Without the

approval of the Manager (but otherwise in compliance with Section 8.1), a Member may, at any time, (a)

Transfer any portion of such Member’s Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and (b) Transfer any

portion of such Member’s Units to a Permitted Transferee of such Member. Any purported Transfer of all

or a portion of a Member’s Units not complying with this Section 8.1shall be void ab initio and shall not

create any obligation on the part of the Company or the other Members to recognize that purported

Transfer or to recognize the Person to which the Transfer purportedly was made as a Member. A Person

acquiring a Member’s Units pursuant to this Section 8.1shall not be admitted as a substituted or

Additional Member except in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2, but such Person shall, to

the extent of the Units transferred to it, be entitled to such Member’s (i) share of Distributions, (ii) share

of Profits and Losses and (iii) Capital Account in accordance with Section 3.6. Notwithstanding anything

in this Section 8.1or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Member Transfers all or any

portion of its Units after the designation of a record date and declaration of a Distribution pursuant to

Section 4.1and before the payment date of such distribution, the transferring Member (and not the Person

acquiring all or any portion of its Units) shall be entitled to receive such Distribution in respect of such

transferred Units.

Section 8.2Recognition of Transfer; Substituted and Additional Members.

(a)No direct or indirect Transfer of all or any portion of a Member’s Units may be made,

and no purchaser, assignee, transferee or other recipient of all or any part of such Units shall be admitted

to the Company as a substituted or Additional Member hereunder, unless:

(i)the provisions of Section 8.1shall have been complied with;

29

(ii)in the case of a proposed substituted or Additional Member that is (A) a

competitor or potential competitor of Pubco or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, (B)

a Person with whom Pubco or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries has had or is

expected to have a material commercial or financial relationship or (C) likely to subject Pubco or

the Company or their respective Subsidiaries to any material legal or regulatory requirement or

obligation, or materially increase the burden thereof, in each case as determined by the Manager

in its sole discretion, the admission of the purchaser, assignee, transferee or other recipient as a

substituted or Additional Member shall have been approved by the Manager;

(iii)the Manager shall have been furnished with the documents effecting such

Transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, executed and

acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or transferor and the purchaser, assignee, transferee or

other recipient, and the Manager shall have executed (and the Manager hereby agrees to execute)

any other documents on behalf of itself and the Members required to effect the Transfer;

(iv)the provisions of Section 8.2(b)shall have been complied with;

(v)the Manager shall be reasonably satisfied that such Transfer will not (A)

result in a violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable law or (B) cause an assignment

under the Investment Company Act;

(vi)such Transfer would not: (A) cause (or create a substantial risk of

causing) the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of

Section 7704 of the Code or any other association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax

purposes and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Transfer shall not be effected

on or through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market or the substantial

equivalent thereof,” as such terms are used in Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1; or (B) result in the

Company having more than 100 partners within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section

1.7704-1(h) (determined taking into account the rules of Treasury Regulations Section

1.7704-1(h)(3); except as the Manager might reasonably determine that the Company can rely on

one or more of the secondary market safe harbors set forth in Treasury Regulations Section

1.7704-1(c)(3);

(vii)the Manager shall have received the opinion of counsel, if any, required

by Section 8.2(c)in connection with such Transfer; and

(viii)all necessary instruments reflecting such Transfer and/or admission shall

have been filed in each jurisdiction in which such filing is necessary in order to qualify the

Company to conduct business or to preserve the limited liability of the Members.

(b)Each Substituted Member and Additional Member shall be bound by all of the provisions

of this Agreement. Each Substituted Member and Additional Member, as a condition to its admission as a

Member, shall execute and acknowledge such instruments (including a counterpart of this Agreement and

the Exchange Agreement or a joinder agreement in customary form), in form and substance reasonably

satisfactory to the Manager, as the Manager reasonably deems necessary or desirable to effectuate such

admission and to confirm the agreement of such substituted or Additional Member to be bound by all the

30

terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Units acquired by such substituted or

Additional Member. The admission of a substituted or Additional Member shall not require the consent of

any Member (but shall require the consent of the Manager, if and to the extent such consent of the

Manager is expressly required by this Article VIII). As promptly as practicable after the admission of a

substituted or Additional Member, the Unit Ownership Ledger and other books and records of the

Company and Exhibit A shall be changed to reflect such admission.

(c)As a further condition to any Transfer of all or any part of a Member’s Units, the

Manager may, in its discretion, require a written opinion of counsel to the transferring Member

reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, obtained at the sole expense of the transferring Member,

reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Manager, as to such matters as are customary and

appropriate in transactions of this type, including (or, in the case of any Transfer made to a Permitted

Transferee, limited to an opinion) to the effect that such Transfer will not result in a violation of the

registration or other requirements of the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws. No

such opinion, however, shall be required in connection with a Transfer made pursuant to the Exchange

Agreement.

Section 8.3Expense of Transfer; Indemnification. All reasonable costs and expenses

incurred by the Manager and the Company in connection with any Transfer of a Member’s Units,

including any filing and recording costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the

Company, shall be paid by the transferring Member. In addition, the transferring Member hereby

indemnifies the Manager and the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the

Manager, the Company or any of their Affiliates may become subject arising out of or based upon any

false representation or warranty made by, or breach or failure to comply with any covenant or agreement

of, such transferring Member or such transferee in connection with such Transfer.

Section 8.4Exchange Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of any portion of a

Member’s Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Manager shall cause the Company to take any

action as may be required under the Exchange Agreement or requested by any party thereto to effect such

Transfer promptly.

Section 8.5Change of Control Transactions. In the event (i) Pubco enters into an

agreement to consummate a Change of Control (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) transaction

or (ii) any Person commences a tender offer or exchange offer for any of the outstanding shares of

Pubco’s stock, Pubco will take all reasonable actions in order to effect any Change of Control Exchange.

ARTICLE IX

WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION OF UNITHOLDERS

Section 9.1Withdrawal and Resignation of Unitholders. No Unitholder shall have the

power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign from the Company prior to the dissolution and winding up

of the Company pursuant to Article X, without the prior written consent of the Manager (which consent

may be withheld by the Manager in its sole discretion), except as otherwise expressly permitted by this

Agreement. Upon a Transfer of all of a Unitholder’s Units in a Transfer permitted by this Agreement, and

(if applicable) the Equity Agreements, such Unitholder shall cease to be a Unitholder. Notwithstanding

that payment on account of a withdrawal may be made after the effective time of such withdrawal, any

completely withdrawing Unitholder will not be considered a Unitholder for any purpose after the effective

time of such complete withdrawal, and, in the case of a partial withdrawal, such Unitholder’s Capital

31

Account (and corresponding voting and other rights) shall be reduced for all other purposes hereunder

upon the effective time of such partial withdrawal.

ARTICLE X

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 10.1Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional

Members or Substituted Members. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up upon

the first of the following to occur:

(a)at the election of the Manager;

(b)at any time there are not members of the Company unless the Company is continued

without dissolution in accordance with the Delaware Act; and

(c)the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the

Delaware Act.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Article X, the Company is intended to have perpetual

existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause a dissolution of the Company and the Company shall

continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 10.2Liquidation and Termination. On the dissolution of the Company, the Manager

shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more representatives, Members or other Persons as

liquidator(s). The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make

final distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as

the Company’s expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company

properties with all of the power and authority of the Manager. The steps to be accomplished by the

liquidators are as follows:

(a)The liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from the Company’s funds all of the debts,

liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise

make reasonable provision for payment thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent

liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine).

(b)As promptly as practicable after dissolution, the liquidators shall (i) determine the Fair

Market Value (the “Liquidation FMV”) of the Company’s remaining assets (the “Liquidation Assets”) in

accordance with Article X, (ii) determine the amounts to be distributed to each Unitholder in accordance

with Section 4.1and (iii) deliver to each Unitholder a statement (the “Liquidation Statement”) setting

forth the Liquidation FMV and the amounts and recipients of such Distributions, which Liquidation

Statement shall be final and binding on all Unitholders.

(c)As soon as the Liquidation FMV and the proper amounts of Distributions have been

determined in accordance with Section 10.2(b), the liquidators shall promptly distribute the Company’s

Liquidation Assets to the holders of Units in accordance with Section 4.1(b). In making such

distributions, the liquidators shall allocate each type of Liquidation Assets (i.e., cash or cash equivalents,

preferred or common equity securities, etc.) among the Unitholders ratably based upon the aggregate

amounts to be distributed with respect to the Units held by each such holder; provided that the liquidators

may allocate each type of Liquidation Assets so as to give effect to and take into account the relative

32

priorities of the different Units; provided, further that, in the event that any securities are part of the

Liquidation Assets, each Unitholder that is not an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under the

Securities Act may, in the sole discretion of the Manager, receive, and hereby agrees to accept, in lieu of

such securities, cash consideration with an equivalent value to such securities as determined by the

Manager. Any non-cash Liquidation Assets will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value,

thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.2and Section

4.3. If any Unitholder’s Capital Account is not equal to the amount to be distributed to such Unitholder

pursuant to Section 10.2(b), Profits and Losses for the Fiscal Year in which the Company is dissolved

shall be allocated among the Unitholders in such a manner as to cause, to the extent possible, each

Unitholder’s Capital Account to be equal to the amount to be distributed to such Unitholder pursuant to

Section 10.2(b). The distribution of cash and/or property to a Unitholder in accordance with the

provisions of this Section 10.2(b)constitutes a complete return to the Unitholder of its Capital

Contributions and a complete distribution to the Unitholder of its interest in the Company and all the

Company property and constitutes a compromise to which all Unitholders have consented within the

meaning of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Unitholder returns funds to the Company, it has no

claim against any other Unitholder for those funds.

Section 10.3Securityholders Agreement. To the extent that units or other equity securities of

any Subsidiary are distributed to any Unitholders and unless otherwise agreed to by the Manager, such

Unitholders hereby agree to enter into a securityholders agreement with such Subsidiary and each other

Unitholder which contains rights and restrictions in form and substance similar to the provisions and

restrictions set forth herein (including in Article VIII).

Section 10.4Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the winding up of the Company,

including the distribution of the Company’s assets as provided herein, the Company shall be terminated

(and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time) upon the Manager (or such other Person or

Persons as the Delaware Act may require or permit) causing the filing of a certificate of cancellation of

the Certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, and the Manager or such other authorized Person

or Persons shall in connection with the winding up of the Company cancel any other filings made

pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary

to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this

Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 10.4.

Section 10.5Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the

orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to

Section 10.2in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

Section 10.6Return of Capital. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of

Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Unitholders (it being understood that any such return

shall be made solely from the Company assets).

Section 10.7Hart-Scott-Rodino. In the event the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements

Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”) is applicable to any Unitholder, the dissolution of the Company shall not be

consummated until such time as the applicable waiting period (and extensions thereof) under the HSR Act

have expired or otherwise been terminated with respect to each such Unitholder.

33

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 11.1Power of Attorney. Each Unitholder hereby constitutes and appoints the

Manager and the liquidators, if any and as applicable, and their respective designees, with full power of

substitution, as his, her or its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in

instruments, agreements, amendments or other documents which the Manager deems appropriate or

necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification or restatement of this Agreement in accordance

Section 11.2Amendments. This Agreement may be amended (including, for purposes of this

Section 11.2, any amendment effected directly or indirectly by way of a merger or consolidation of the

Company) or waived, in whole or in part, by the Manager; provided, however, that to the extent any

amendment or waiver, including any amendment or waiver of the Exhibits attached hereto, would

disproportionately and adversely affect the rights of any Member of a class compared with the rights of

any other Member of such class, such amendment or waiver may only be made by the Manager upon the

prior written consent of such disproportionately and adversely affected Member.

Section 11.3Title to the Company Assets. The Company’s assets shall be deemed to be

owned by the Company as an entity, and no Unitholder, individually or collectively, shall have any

ownership interest in such assets or any portion thereof. Legal title to any or all of such assets may be

held in the name of the Company or one or more nominees, as the Manager may determine. The Manager

hereby declares and warrants that any Company assets for which legal title is held in the name of any

nominee shall be held in trust by such nominee for the use and benefit of the Company in accordance with

the provisions of this Agreement. All Company assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company

on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such assets is held.

Section 11.4Remedies. Each Unitholder and the Company shall have all rights and remedies

set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies which such Person has been granted at any time

under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such Person has under any law. Any

Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated

hereby shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to

recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other

rights granted by law.

34

interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this

Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule

in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the

effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed,

construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never

been contained herein or if such term or provision could be drawn more narrowly so as not to be illegal,

invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall be so narrowly drawn, as to such

jurisdiction, without invalidating the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the

legality, validity or enforceability of such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.7Counterparts; Binding Agreement. This Agreement may be executed

simultaneously in two or more separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of

more than one party, but each of which will be an original and all of which together shall constitute one

and the same agreement binding on all the parties hereto. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof

shall be binding upon and effective as to each Person who (a) executes this Agreement in the appropriate

space provided in the signature pages hereto notwithstanding the fact that other Persons who have not

executed this Agreement may be listed on the signature pages hereto and (b) may from time to time

become a party to this Agreement by executing a counterpart of or joinder to this Agreement.

Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement.

ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted

jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any

party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists

between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of

such conflict.

Section 11.9Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in

notice to the sending party.

Section 11.11Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or

enforceable by any creditors of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to

the Company or any of its Affiliates may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a separate

agreement executed by the Company in favor of such creditor) at any time as a result of making the loan

any direct or indirect interest in the Company’s Profits, Losses, Distributions, capital or property other

than as a secured creditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Indemnitees are intended third

party beneficiaries of Section 6.2and shall be entitled to enforce such provision (as it may be in effect

from time to time) directly as if a party hereto.

Section 11.12No Waiver. No failure by any party hereto to insist upon the strict performance

of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy

consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant,

duty, agreement or condition.

Section 11.13Further Action. The parties hereto agree to execute and deliver all documents,

provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to

achieve the purposes of this Agreement, in each case, as and when requested by the Manager.

Section 11.15Delivery by Electronic Means. This Agreement, the agreements referred to

herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or

contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered

by means of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf) or

comparable electronic transmission, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or

instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed

version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or

instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to

all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile

machine or pdf electronic transmission or comparable electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the

fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a

facsimile machine or pdf electronic transmission as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a

contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Section 11.16Certain Acknowledgments. This Agreement shall be considered for all purposes

as having been prepared through the joint efforts of the parties hereto. To the fullest extent permitted by

law, no presumption shall apply in favor of any party hereto in the interpretation of this Agreement or in

the resolution of any ambiguity of any provision hereof based on the preparation, substitution, submission

or other event of negotiation, drafting or execution hereof. Each Member and Unitholder acknowledges

36

that such Member or Unitholder is entitled to and has been afforded the opportunity to consult legal

counsel of its choice regarding the terms, conditions and legal effects of this Agreement, as well as the

advisability and propriety thereof. Each Member and Unitholder further acknowledges that having so

consulted with legal counsel of its choosing, such Member or Unitholder hereby waives any right to raise

or rely upon the lack of representation or effective representation in any future proceedings or in

connection with any future claim resulting from this Agreement or the formation of the Company.

(a)Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive

jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware and the state courts of the State

of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any

transaction contemplated hereby. Each party hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons,

notice or document by United States certified or registered mail (in each such case, prepaid return receipt

requested) to such party hereto’s respective address set forth in the Company’s books and records or such

other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written

notice to the sending party shall be effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding in

Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the

immediately preceding sentence. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection

to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions

contemplated hereby in the United States District Court for the State of Delaware or the state courts of the

State of Delaware and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in

any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an

inconvenient forum.

(b)WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION

WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED

BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES HERETO WISH

APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION

RULES), THE PARTIES HERETO DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE

APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION

OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY

HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR

PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE

PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT

OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE

TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED

AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER.

Member severally represents and warrants as follows:

(a)Such Member has full legal right, power and authority to deliver this Agreement and the

other Transaction Documents and to perform such Member’s obligations hereunder and thereunder;

(b)This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and

binding obligation of such Member enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as the

enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy and other laws of general application relating to

creditors’ rights or general principles of equity;

37

(c)Neither this Agreement nor the other Transaction Documents violate, conflict with, result
