The Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to perform its obligations set forth in the Earnout Provisions and to maintain the highest number of Purchaser Common Shares potentially issuable under the terms of the Earnout Provisions (which number shall not be less than 22,200,000) available for issuance with respect to Earnout Payment Shares without any restriction or limitation thereof, at all times after the Closing until all of the payment obligations set forth in the Earnout Provisions have been satisfied or have expired.

Earnout Payments (a) The terms below shall have the following respective meanings for the purposes of this Section 2.3:
Common Units The capital structure of the Company shall consist of one class of common interests (the "Common Units"). The Company shall have authority to issue one thousand (1,000) Common Units. Each Common Unit shall have one vote and shall otherwise be identical with each other Common Unit in every respect.
Earnout (a) Following the Closing, and as additional consideration for the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event (or if a Triggering Event occurs prior to Closing, within twenty (20) Business Days after the Closing Date) or the Final Earnout Distribution Date (in accordance with Section 3.4(a)(iv)), as applicable, Acquiror shall issue or cause to be issued to each Eligible Company Equityholder as of such date (in each case accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share) shares of Acquiror Common Stock (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Acquiror Common Stock occurring after the Closing) (such shares, the “Earnout Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that any Earnout Shares issued in respect of a Company Restricted Stock Award exchanged for an Adjusted Restricted Stock Award that remains unvested as of the Triggering Event (each such Adjusted Restricted Stock Award, an “Unvested Adjusted Restricted Stock Award” and any such Earnout Shares issued in connection therewith pursuant to this Section 3.4, the “Unvested Restricted Stock Award Earnout Shares”) shall vest in equal amounts (or as close as possible, with any excess shares vesting on the last vesting date) over the remaining vesting schedule of the applicable Adjusted Restricted Stock Award, and shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as applied to such Unvested Adjusted Restricted Stock Award; provided, further, that any such issuance of Earnout Shares will not be made to any Eligible Company Equityholder for which a filing under the HSR Act is required in connection with the issuance of Earnout Shares, until the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has expired or been terminated:
Issuance of Common Units in Connection with Reset of Incentive Distribution Rights (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.11, the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights (or, if there is more than one holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights, the holders of a majority in interest of the Incentive Distribution Rights) shall have the right, at any time when there are no Subordinated Units Outstanding and the Partnership has made a distribution pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(v) for each of the four most recently completed Quarters and the amount of each such distribution did not exceed Adjusted Operating Surplus for such Quarter, to make an election (the “IDR Reset Election”) to cause the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions to be reset in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.11(e) and, in connection therewith, the holder or holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights will become entitled to receive their respective proportionate share of a number of Common Units (the “IDR Reset Common Units”) derived by dividing (i) the average amount of the aggregate cash distributions made by the Partnership for the two full Quarters immediately preceding the giving of the Reset Notice in respect of the Incentive Distribution Rights by (ii) the average of the cash distributions made by the Partnership in respect of each Common Unit for the two full Quarters immediately preceding the giving of the Reset Notice (the number of Common Units determined by such quotient is referred to herein as the “Aggregate Quantity of IDR Reset Common Units”). If at the time of any IDR Reset Election the General Partner and its Affiliates are not the holders of a majority in interest of the Incentive Distribution Rights, then the IDR Reset Election shall be subject to the prior written concurrence of the General Partner that the conditions described in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied. Upon the issuance of such IDR Reset Common Units, the Partnership will issue to the General Partner an additional General Partner Interest (represented by hypothetical limited partner units) equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Percentage Interest of the General Partner immediately prior to such issuance by (B) a percentage equal to 100% less such Percentage Interest by (y) the number of such IDR Reset Common Units, and the General Partner shall not be obligated to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership in exchange for such issuance. The making of the IDR Reset Election in the manner specified in this Section 5.11 shall cause the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions to be reset in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.11(e) and, in connection therewith, the holder or holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights will become entitled to receive IDR Reset Common Units and the General Partner will become entitled to receive an additional General Partner Interest on the basis specified above, without any further approval required by the General Partner or the Unitholders other than as set forth in this Section 5.11(a), at the time specified in Section 5.11(c) unless the IDR Reset Election is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.11(d).

To the extent a percentage of the Acquisition Consideration includes one or more OP Units, as set forth on Schedule B, the number of OP Units the Grantor shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of the Option with respect to such percentage shall equal the quotient of
