Promptly thereafter, (x) Pubco or its designee shall purchase (1) a number of Rollover Acquired EOC Common Units retained by KKR Cage following the consummation of the KKR Internal Restructuring equal to the KKR Opco Cash Consideration, divided by the IPO Price (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) in exchange for the KKR Opco Cash Consideration, (2) a number of Rollover Acquired EOC Common Units held by DAW Family Trust equal to the DAW Cash Consideration, divided by the IPO Price (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) in exchange for the DAW Cash Consideration and (3) all of the Rollover Acquired EOC Common Units retained by the MSD Members following the consummation of the MSD Internal Restructuring in exchange for the MSD Opco Cash Consideration and (y) Pubco shall cancel and retire (I) a number of shares of Pubco Class X Common Stock received by KKR Cage pursuant to clause (a)(ii) that are retained following the consummation of the KKR Internal Restructuring equal to the number of Rollover Acquired EOC Common Units sold by KKR Cage to Pubco or its designee pursuant to clause (x)(1), (2) 100% of the shares of Pubco Class X Common Stock received by each of KKR Aggregator Blocker and KKR XI Blocker in connection with the KKR Internal Restructuring, (3) a number of shares of Pubco Class X Common Stock received by DAW Family Trust pursuant to clause (a)(ii) equal to the number of Rollover Acquired EOC Common Units sold by DAW Family Trust to Pubco or its designee pursuant to clause (x)(2), (4) 100% of the shares of Pubco Class X Common Stock received by the MSD Members pursuant to clause(a)(ii) that are retained following the Consummation of the MSD Internal Restructuring and (5) 100% of the shares of Pubco Class X Common Stock received by MSD
