Section 2.1Exchange of Units.
(a)Elective Exchanges.
(i)From and after the First Exchange Time, the Member shall be entitled,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and the LLC Agreement, to surrender
Exchangeable Units to Pubco or the Company (as applicable) and a corresponding number of
shares of Class B Common Stock after taking into account the Exchange Rate (in each case, free

the product of the applicable Exchanged Unit Amount multiplied by the Exchange Rate or (y)
solely in connection with an Exchange (including a Change of Control Exchange) that coincides
with a substantially concurrent public offering or private sale of Class A Common Stock, the
applicable Cash Payment. Any exchange of Exchangeable Units and Class B Common Stock for
Class A Common Stock or the Cash Payment, as applicable, is defined herein as an “Exchange.”
Subject to Section 2.1(a)(ii), from and after the First Exchange Time, the Member may Exchange
any Exchangeable Units at any time and from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, neither Pubco nor the Company shall effectuate a Cash Payment pursuant to this
Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b) unless (A) Pubco determines to consummate a private sale or
public offering of Class A Common Stock on, or not later than five (5) Business Days after, the
relevant Exchange Date and (B) Pubco contributes sufficient proceeds from such private sale or
public offering to the Company for payment by the Company of the applicable Cash Payment or
Pubco directly pays the applicable Cash Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall
have no obligation to make a Cash Payment that exceeds the cash contributed to the Company by
Pubco from Pubco’s offering or sales of Class A Common Stock referenced earlier in this
Section 2.1(a)(i).
(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Member
shall not be entitled to effectuate an Exchange of Exchangeable Units (and a corresponding
number of shares of Class B Common Stock after taking into account the Exchange Rate) as set
forth in this Section 2.1(a), and Pubco and Company shall have the right to refuse to honor any
4
request for such an Exchange, if at any time Pubco or the Company determines based on the
advice of counsel that such Exchange (1) would be prohibited by law or regulation (including the
unavailability of a registration of such Exchange under the Securities Act or an exemption from
the registration requirements thereof) or (2) would not be permitted under any agreement with
Pubco, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to which the Member is party (including the
LLC Agreement). Upon such determination, Pubco or the Company (as applicable) shall notify
the Member, which such notice shall include an explanation in reasonable detail as to the reason
that the Exchange has not been honored.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Manager of the
Company, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and tax advisor, shall determine in
good faith that interests in the Company do not meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.7704-1(h) (or other provisions of those Regulations as determined by the Manager in its
sole discretion), the Company may impose such restrictions on Exchanges as the Company may
reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable so that the Company is not treated as a
“publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code.
(iv)The Member shall exercise its right to effectuate an Exchange of
Exchangeable Units, and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock after
taking into account the Exchange Rate, as set forth in this Section 2.1(a), by delivering to the
Company, with a contemporaneous copy delivered to Pubco, during normal business hours, (A) a
written election of exchange in respect of the Exchangeable Units to be exchanged substantially
in the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Exchange Notice”), duly executed by the Member, (B) any
certificates in the Member’s possession representing such Exchangeable Units, (C) any stock
certificates in the Member’s possession representing such shares of Class B Common Stock and
(D) if Pubco or the Company requires the delivery of the certification contemplated by Section
2.4(b), such certification or written notice from the Member that it is unable to provide such
certification. Unless the Member timely has delivered a Retraction Notice pursuant to Section
2.1(a)(vii), an Exchange pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) shall be effected on the fifth (5th) Business
Day following the Business Day on which Pubco and the Company have received all of the items
specified in clauses (A)-(D) of the first sentence of this Section 2.1(a)(iv) or such later date that is
a Business Day specified in the Exchange Notice (such Business Day, the “Exchange Date”);
provided, that the Company may establish alternate exchange procedures as necessary in order to
facilitate the establishment by the Member of a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule
10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. On the Exchange Date, all rights of the Member as a holder of
the Exchangeable Units and shares of Class B Common Stock that are subject to the Exchange
shall cease, and unless Pubco has elected Cash Payment, the Member (or its designee) shall be
treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of the shares of Class A Common
Stock to be received by the Member in respect of such Exchange.
(v)Within two (2) Business Days following the Business Day on which
Pubco and the Company have received the Exchange Notice, Pubco shall give written notice (the
Contribution Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to the Member) of its intended settlement
method; provided that, if Pubco does not timely deliver a Contribution Notice, Pubco shall be
deemed to have not elected the Cash Payment method.
(vi)The Member may specify, in an applicable Exchange Notice, that the
Exchange is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the occurrence of any transaction or
event, including the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or
5
exchange offer, an underwritten offering, Change of Control transaction or otherwise) of shares
of Class A Common Stock or any merger, consolidation or other business combination.
(vii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Member may
withdraw or amend its Exchange Notice, in whole or in part, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New
York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Exchange Date by giving written
notice (a “Retraction Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to Pubco) specifying (A) the number
of withdrawn Exchangeable Units (and corresponding number of shares of Class B Common
Stock after taking into account the Exchange Rate), (B) the number of Exchangeable Units (and
corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock after taking into account the
Exchange Rate) as to which the Exchange Notice remains in effect, if any, and (C) if the Member
so determines, a new Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in the
Exchange Notice.
(b)Change of Control. In connection with a Change of Control, and subject to any
approval of the Change of Control by the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock that may be required:
(i)Pubco shall have the right to require the Member to effectuate an
Exchange of some or all of the Member’s Exchangeable Units, and a corresponding number of
shares of Class B Common Stock after taking into account the Exchange Rate (in each case, free
and clear of all Liens), with Pubco or, at the option of Pubco, with any Subsidiary of Pubco, in
each case, in exchange for the delivery to the Member (or its designee) of a number of shares of
Class A Common Stock that is equal to the product of the applicable Exchanged Unit Amount
and the Exchange Rate (such Exchange, a “Change of Control Exchange”); provided that, if
Pubco requires the Member to Exchange less than all of its outstanding Exchangeable Units (and
corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock after taking into account the
Exchange Rate), the Member’s participation in the required Exchange shall be reduced pro rata
based on ownership of Exchangeable Units. For the avoidance of doubt, any Exchangeable Units
and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Member that are not
Exchanged pursuant to a Change of Control Exchange may be Exchanged by the Member after
the Change of Control transaction pursuant to Section 2.1(a) subject to and in accordance with the
terms thereof.
(ii)The election of Pubco pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall be at the sole
discretion of Pubco upon the approval thereof by a majority of the Board of Directors of Pubco.
(iii)Any Exchange pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall be effective
immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control (and, for the avoidance of
doubt, shall not be effective if such Change of Control is not consummated) (the “Change of
Control Exchange Date”). From and after the Change of Control Exchange Date, (A) the
Exchangeable Units and shares of Class B Common Stock Exchanged pursuant to this Section
2.1(b) shall be deemed to be transferred to the Company and Pubco, as applicable, on the Change
of Control Exchange Date and (B) the Member shall cease to have any rights with respect to the
Exchangeable Units and shares of Class B Common Stock that is Exchanged pursuant to this
Section 2.1(b) (other than the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to
Section 2.1(b)(i) upon compliance with its obligations under Section 2.1(c)).
6
(iv)Pubco shall provide written notice of an expected Change of Control to
the Member within the earlier of (A) five (5) Business Days following the execution of the
agreement with respect to such Change of Control and (B) ten (10) Business Days before the
proposed date upon which the contemplated Change of Control is to be effected, indicating in
such notice such information as may reasonably describe the Change of Control transaction,
subject to applicable law, including the date of execution of such agreement or such proposed
effective date, as applicable, the amount and types of consideration to be paid for Exchangeable
Units and shares of Class B Common Stock or shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable,
in the Change of Control (which consideration shall be equivalent whether paid for Exchangeable
Units and shares of Class B Common Stock or shares of Class A Common Stock), any election
with respect to types of consideration that a holder of Exchangeable Units and shares of Class B
Common Stock or shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in
connection with the Change of Control, the percentage of total Exchangeable Units and shares of
Class B Common Stock or shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, to be transferred to
the acquirer by all shareholders in the Change of Control, and the number of Exchangeable Units
and shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Member that Pubco intends to require to be
Exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Change of Control.
Pubco shall update such notice from time to time to reflect any material changes to such notice.
Pubco may satisfy any such notice and update requirements described in the preceding two
sentences by providing such information on a Form 8-K, Schedule TO, Schedule 14D-9,
Preliminary Merger Proxy on Schedule 14A, Definitive Merger Proxy on Schedule 14A or
similar form filed with the SEC.
(c)Exchange Procedure on Change of Control Exchange. On or prior to the Change
of Control Exchange Date, the Member shall deliver to Pubco or the Company, as applicable,
with a contemporaneous copy delivered to the Company, in each case during normal business
hours at the principal executive offices of the Company and Pubco, respectively: (A) an
Exchange Notice, duly executed by the Member; (B) any certificates in the Member’s possession
representing all Exchangeable Units being surrendered by the Member; (C) any stock certificates
in the Member’s possession representing all shares of Class B Common Stock being surrendered
by the Member; and (D) if Pubco or the Company requires the delivery of the certification
contemplated by Section 2.4(b), such certification or written notice from the Member that it is
unable to provide such certification.
(d)Exchange Consideration. As promptly as practicable on or after the Exchange
Date or Change of Control Exchange Date, as applicable, provided the Member has satisfied its
obligations under Section 2.1(a)(iv) or Section 2.1(c), as applicable, the Company or Pubco shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Member (or its designee), either certificates or evidence of
book-entry shares representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon
the applicable Exchange, registered in the name of the Member (or its designee) or, if Pubco has
so elected, the Cash Payment. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.1(d) to the
contrary, to the extent the Class A Common Stock issued in the exchange will be settled through
the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the Company or Pubco will, upon the written
instruction of the Member, deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to the
Member through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to the account of the participant
of The Depository Trust Company designated by the Member in the Exchange Notice. Upon the
Member exercising its right to Exchange in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i) or the occurrence of
a Change of Control Exchange, the Company or Pubco shall take such actions as (A) may be
required to ensure that the Member receives the shares of Class A Common Stock or the Cash
7
Payment that the Member is entitled to receive in connection with such Exchange pursuant to this
Section 2.1, and (B) may be reasonably within its control that would cause such Exchange to be
treated for purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement as an “Exchange” under the Tax
Receivable Agreement.
(e)Legends.
(i)The shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange, other
than any such shares issued in an Exchange subject to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act, shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES HAS NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW), OR AN EXEMPTION
THEREFROM.
(ii)If (A) any shares of Class A Common Stock have been sold pursuant to a
registration statement that has been declared effective by the SEC, (B) all of the applicable
conditions of Rule 144 are met or (C) the legend (or a portion thereof) otherwise ceases to be
applicable, Pubco, upon the written request of the holder thereof, shall promptly provide such
holder or its respective transferees with new certificates (or evidence of book-entry share) for
securities of like tenor not bearing the provisions of the legend with respect to which the
restriction has terminated. In connection therewith, such holder shall provide Pubco with such
information in its possession as Pubco may reasonably request (which may include an opinion of
counsel reasonably acceptable to Pubco) in connection with the removal of any such legend.
(f)Cancellation of Class B Common Stock. Any shares of Class B Common Stock
surrendered in an Exchange shall automatically be deemed cancelled without any action on the
part of any Person, including Pubco. Any such cancelled shares of Class B Common Stock shall
no longer be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such shares shall automatically cease and
terminate.
(g)Expenses. Subject to any other arrangement or agreement among the Company
and the Member, each party hereto shall bear their own expenses in connection with the
consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated,
except that Pubco shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in
connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any shares of
Class A Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Member (or The
Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository
Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of the Member) or a direct or indirect
equityholder of the Member or the Cash Payment is to be paid to a Person other than the Member
or a direct or indirect equityholder of the Member, then the Member or the Person in whose name
such shares are to be delivered or to whom the Cash Payment is to be paid shall pay to Pubco the
amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or
8
arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Pubco that
such tax has been paid or is not payable.
Section 2.2Adjustment.
The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is: (a) any subdivision (by any stock or
unit split, stock or unit dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or
otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock or unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization
or otherwise) of the shares of Class B Common Stock or Series B Units that is not accompanied by a
substantively identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Common Stock; or (b) any subdivision
(by any stock or unit split, stock or unit dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock or unit split, reclassification,
reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the shares of Class A Common Stock that is not
accompanied by a substantively identical subdivision or combination of the shares of Class B Common
Stock or Series B Units. To the extent not reflected in an adjustment to the Exchange Rate, if there is any
reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A
Common Stock is converted or changed or exchanged into or for another security, securities or other
property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, the Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such
security, securities or other property that the Member would have received if such Exchange had occurred
immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other
similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split,
distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by
reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property
that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar
transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or
other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed or exchanged into
or for another security, securities or other property, this Section 2.2 shall continue to be applicable,
mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.
Section 2.3Class A Common Stock to be Issued.
(a)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, such
number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding Exchangeable Units; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be
construed to preclude Pubco from satisfying its obligations in respect of any such Exchange by
delivery of unencumbered purchased shares of Class A Common Stock (which may or may not
be held in the treasury of Pubco or any subsidiary thereof).
(b)Pubco has taken and will take all such steps as may be required to cause to
qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and be
exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions or dispositions of
equity securities of Pubco (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities
that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of Pubco for such purposes that
result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each director or officer of Pubco
(including directors-by-deputization) who may reasonably be expected to be subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Pubco upon the
registration of any class of equity security of Pubco pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act
(with the authorizing resolutions specifying the name of each such officer or director whose
9
acquisition or disposition of securities is to be exempted and the number of securities that may be
acquired and disposed of by each such Person pursuant to this Agreement).
(c)If any Takeover Law or other similar law or regulation becomes or is deemed to
become applicable to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, Pubco shall
use its reasonable best efforts to render such law or regulation inapplicable to all of the foregoing.
(d)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 and not subject to
any preemptive right of stockholders of Pubco or to any right of first refusal or other right in
favor of any Person.
Section 2.4Withholding; Certification of Non-Foreign Status.
(a)If Pubco or the Company shall be required to withhold any amounts by reason of
any federal, state, local or foreign tax rules or regulations in respect of any Exchange, Pubco or
the Company, as the case may be, shall be entitled to take such action as it deems appropriate in
order to ensure compliance with such withholding requirements, including, at its option,
withholding shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the minimum
amount of any taxes that Pubco or the Company, as the case may be, may be required to withhold
with respect to such Exchange. To the extent that amounts are (or property is) so withheld and
paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts (or property) shall be treated
for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid (or delivered) to the Member.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of Pubco and the Company
may, in its discretion, require that the Member deliver to Pubco or the Company, as the case may
be, a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 prior to an Exchange. In the event Pubco or the
Company has required delivery of such form but the Member does not provide such form, Pubco
or the Company, as the case may be, shall nevertheless deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Member the Class A Common Stock or the Cash Payment in accordance with Section 2.1, but
subject to withholding as provided in Section 2.4(a).
Section 2.5Tax Treatment.
(a)Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that any Exchange with the Company or Pubco shall be treated as a direct exchange
between Pubco and the Member for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax
purposes. The parties hereto intend to treat any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable
sale of the Exchangeable Units and Class B Common Stock (if any) by the Member to Pubco for
U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes except as otherwise mutually
agreed to in writing by the Member and Pubco and no party hereto shall take a position
inconsistent with such intended tax treatment on any tax return, amendment thereof or any other
communication with a taxing authority, in each case, unless otherwise required by a
“determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.
(b)To the extent this Agreement imposes obligations upon the Company, this
Agreement shall be treated as part of the LLC Agreement as described in Section 761 of the Code
and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c).
10
Section 2.6Contribution of Pubco.
In connection with any Exchange between the Member and the Company, Pubco shall contribute
to the Company the shares of Class A Common Stock or Cash Payment that the Member is entitled to
receive in such Exchange. Unless the Member has timely delivered a Retraction Notice as provided in
Section 2.1(a)(vii), on the Exchange Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on
the Exchange Date) (i) Pubco shall make a capital contribution to the Company (in the form of the shares
of Class A Common Stock or the Cash Payment that the Member is entitled to receive in such Exchange)
required under this Section 2.6, (ii) the Company shall transfer such shares of Class A Common Stock or
Cash Payment to the Member in redemption of such Member’s Series B Units in the Company, and (iii)
in the case of an Exchange for Class A Common Stock and/or the Cash Payment (as applicable), the
Company shall issue to Pubco a number of Series A Units equal to the Exchanged Unit Amount
surrendered by the Member.
Section 2.7Distributions.
No Exchange will impair the right of the Member to receive any distribution for periods ending
on or prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange (but for which payment had not yet been made with
respect to the Exchangeable Units in question at the time the Exchange is consummated); provided that,
for purposes of this Section 2.7, the Member’s right to receive its pro rata portion of any distribution by
the Company in respect of such periods shall not be deemed impaired to the extent that the Company has
not paid Pubco its pro rata portion of such distribution prior to the consummation of the applicable
Exchange.
Section 2.8Structure of Exchange Transactions.
The parties hereto acknowledge that (a) certain direct and indirect equityholders of the Member
may from time to time desire to participate in an Exchange and (b) this Agreement is intended to permit
and facilitate such participation in an Exchange as if such direct and indirect equityholders of the Member
were a party hereto as the Member hereunder. Therefore, the parties agree (x) to enter into any transaction
or series of transactions, including related transaction documents, requested by the Member in any
manner necessary or desirable to facilitate such direct or indirect participation in an Exchange or
otherwise achieve the purposes of this Agreement and (y) that the rights of the Member set forth in this
Agreement may be assigned to any subsequent holder of Series B Units as if such holder were the
Member hereunder as and to the extent elected by the Member.

To the extent that the Member (or an applicable Permitted Transferee of the Member) validly
transfers after the date hereof any or all of its  Series B Units and corresponding shares of Class B
Common Stock after taking into account the Exchange Rate, to a Permitted Transferee of such Person or
to any other Person in a transaction not in contravention of, and in accordance with, the LLC Agreement,
13
then the transferee thereof shall have the right to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement, in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Upon execution of any such joinder, such transferee shall, with respect
to such transferred Series B Units and shares of Class B Common Stock, be entitled to all of the rights
and bound by each of the obligations applicable to the relevant transferor hereunder; provided that the
transferor shall remain entitled to all of the rights and bound by each of the obligations with respect to
Series B Units and shares of Class B Common Stock that were not so transferred.
Section 4.3Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions
hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or entity or any
circumstance, is found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) a suitable and equitable
provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the
intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such
invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or
enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
Section 4.4Counterparts.
This Agreement and any amendments may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts and delivered via facsimile or .pdf, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document. The signature of any party to
any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart.
Section 4.5Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with the LLC Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement and the
other agreements and instruments referenced herein and therein, (a) constitutes the entire agreement and
supersedes all other prior agreements, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and (b) is not intended to confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto and their
Permitted Transferees, any rights or remedies hereunder.
Section 4.6Further Assurances.
Each party hereto shall execute, deliver, acknowledge and file such other documents and take
such further actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any other party hereto to give
effect to and carry out the transactions contemplated herein.
Section 4.7Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the
State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
14
Section 4.8Consent 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’s respective
address set forth in Section 4.1 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.
Section 4.9Waiver of Jury Trial.
BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS
ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND
EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO
APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES 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 TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE COMPANY)
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.
Section 4.10Amendments.
The provisions of this Agreement may be amended only by the affirmative vote or written
consent of each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
law.
Section 4.11Assignment.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of
the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that nothing herein shall
restrict the Member from assigning any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect
equityholder of the Member. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon,
15
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors, assigns and
Permitted Transferees.
Section 4.12Specific Enforcement.
The parties hereto acknowledge that the remedies at law of the other parties for a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, any party to this
Agreement, without posting any bond, and in addition to all other remedies that may be available, shall be
entitled to equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary
or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy that may then be available.
