(i) The Managing Member shall sell to the Company, and the Company (or if the Company Employee is an employee or other service provider of a Company Subsidiary, to such Company Subsidiary) shall purchase from the Managing Member, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as to which such stock option is being exercised or to which such award of Class A Common Stock relates. The purchase price per share of Class A Common Stock for such sale of Class A Common Stock to the Company shall be the Value of a share of Class A Common Stock as of the date of exercise of such stock option, or with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock sold (other than in respect of the exercise of a stock option) for a purchase price equal to the Value of such shares;

(ii) The Company shall sell to the Company Employee (or if the Person is an employee, or other service provider of a Company Subsidiary, the Company shall sell to such Company Subsidiary, which in turn shall sell to the Company Employee), for a cash price per share equal to the Value of a share of Class A Common Stock at the time of the exercise (or lapse of vesting event, as applicable), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (a) the exercise price or purchase price paid to the Managing Member by the Company Employee in connection with the exercise of such stock option or purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock divided by (b) the Value of a share of Class A Common Stock at the time of such exercise or purchase;

(iii) The Company shall transfer to the Company Employee (or if the Person is an employee of a Company Subsidiary, the Company shall transfer to such Company Subsidiary, which in turn shall transfer to the Company Employee) at no additional cost, as additional compensation, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock described in Section 3.4(a)(i) less the number of shares of Class A Common Stock described in Section 3.4(a)(ii); and

(iv) The Managing Member shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, make a Capital Contribution to the Company (or Company Subsidiary, as applicable) of an amount equal to all proceeds received or treated as received (from whatever source, but excluding any payment in respect of payroll taxes or other withholdings) by the Managing Member in connection with the exercise of such stock option or purchase of Class A Common Stock. In exchange for such Capital Contribution, the Company shall issue a number of Company Class A Common Units to the Managing Member equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of such stock option or purchase of such Class A Common Stock.

(b) Future Stock Incentive Plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the Managing Member from adopting, modifying or terminating any Equity Plan or other stock incentive plans for the benefit of employees or directors of or other service providers to the Managing Member, the Company or any of their Affiliates. The Members acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the Managing Member, the Managing Member shall be authorized to

make such amendments to this Section 3.4 as the Managing Member determines necessary or advisable to give effect to such Equity Plan or other stock incentive plan.

(c) Issuance of Company Common Units. The Company is expressly authorized to issue Company Common Units in the numbers specified in this Section 3.4 without any further act, approval or vote of any Member or any other Persons.

Section 3.5 Stock Incentive Plan or Other Plan. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Article III, all amounts received by the Managing Member in respect of any stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, either (a) shall be utilized by the Managing Member to effect open market purchases of Class A Common Stock, or (b) if the Managing Member elects instead to issue new shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to such amounts, shall be contributed by the Managing Member to the Company in exchange for additional Company Common Units. Upon such contribution, the Company will issue to the Managing Member a number of Company Common Units equal to the number of newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock.

Section 3.6 No Interest; No Return. No Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Member’s Capital Account. Except as provided herein or by law, no Member shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from the Company.

Section 3.7 Conversion or Redemption of Preferred Stock and Common Stock.

(a) Conversion of Preferred Stock. If, at any time, any shares of Preferred Stock are converted or exchanged into shares of Common Stock, in whole or in part, then an equal number of Company Equivalent Units held by the Managing Member that correspond to the class or series of Preferred Stock so converted or exchanged shall automatically be converted or exchanged into a number of Company Common Units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion or exchange.

(b) Redemption of Preferred Stock. If, at any time, any shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the Managing Member for cash, then, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition of Preferred Stock, the Company shall purchase an equal number of Company Equivalent Units held by the Managing Member that correspond to the class or series of Preferred Stock so redeemed, repurchased or acquired upon the same terms and for the same price per Company Equivalent Unit, as such shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed, repurchased or acquired.

(c) Redemption, Repurchase or Forfeiture of Common Stock. If, at any time, any shares of Common Stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired (whether by exercise of a put or call, upon forfeiture of any award granted under any Equity Plan, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the Managing Member, other than a cancellation of shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with a Redemption of Company Class B Common Units, then, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition of Common Stock, the Company shall redeem a number of Company Common Units held by the

Managing Member equal to the number of shares of Common Stock so redeemed, repurchased or acquired.

Article IV

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 4.1 Requirement and Characterization of Distributions. Subject to the terms of any Company Unit Designation that provides for a class or series of Company Preferred Units with a preference with respect to the payment of distributions, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute quarterly all, or such portion as the Managing Member may determine, of the Available Cash generated by the Company during such quarter to the Holders of Company Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests of Company Common Units on such Company Record Date. Subject to the terms of any Company Unit Designation, distributions payable with respect to any Company Units that were not outstanding during the entire quarterly period in respect of which any distribution is made (other than any Company Units issued to the Managing Member in connection with the issuance of Common Stock or Capital Shares by the Managing Member) shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Company Units were outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion, may cause the Company to distribute Available Cash, or such portion as the Managing Member may determine, to the Holders on a more or less frequent basis than quarterly and (b) the Company may distribute the IPO Dividend (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the holder of Company Class B Common Units as permitted by Section 6.4(a) of the Credit Agreement, with no corresponding distribution on any other Company Units. To the extent a distribution (or reduction in a Member’s share of Company liabilities for federal tax purposes) would otherwise be treated as proceeds in a sale under Code section 707(a)(2)(B), the Members intend such actual or deemed distribution to be in reimbursement of preformation capital expenditures under Regulations section 1.707-4(d) to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Section 4.2 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, for each Fiscal Year, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make a distribution or distributions to the Members sufficient so that each Member receives an amount that is at least equal to its Annual Income Tax Liability, calculated separately with respect to each Member, with respect to the calendar year. All distributions made to Members pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be treated as advance distributions and shall be taken into account in determining the amount subsequently distributable to Members under Section 4.1. For the avoidance of doubt, all distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with Percentage Interests.

Section 4.3 Distributions in Kind. No Holder may demand to receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The Managing Member may cause the Company to make a distribution in kind of Company assets to the Holders, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles IV, V and IX.

Section 4.4 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and Section 9.4 with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Holder shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to such Holder pursuant to Section 4.1 for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 4.5 Distributions upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Holders in accordance with Section 12.3.

Section 4.6 Distributions to Reflect Additional Company Units. In the event that the Company issues additional Company Units pursuant to the provisions of Article III, subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Company Unit Designation, the Managing Member is hereby authorized to make such revisions to this Article IV and to Article V as it determines are necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional Company Units, including making preferential distributions to certain classes of Company Units.

Section 4.7 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, shall make a distribution to any Holder if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

Section 4.8 Company TRA Payments: Amounts Distributable to Managing Member. To the extent that the Managing Member is obligated to make payments under Section 3.01(a)(ii) of the Tax Receivable Agreement (a “Company TRA Payment”) to any Person (a “TRA Payee”), then either (x) the Managing Member shall make such payment directly, or (y) the Managing Member shall instruct the Company to make the Company TRA Payments to the TRA Payee from amounts that are otherwise distributable to the Managing Member pursuant to this Agreement. In either case, for all U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, and for purposes of this Agreement (including maintaining Capital Accounts pursuant to this Agreement), Company TRA Payments shall be treated as having been (i) first, distributed to the Managing Member pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) second, contributed by the Managing Member to the Company as a capital contribution, and (iii) third, paid by the Company to the applicable TRA Payee as a Company TRA Payment. Company TRA Payments shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code section 707(c), and any U.S. federal, state or local income tax deductions associated with such guaranteed payments shall be allocated to the Managing Member.

Article V

ALLOCATIONS

Section 5.1 Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. Net Income and Net Loss of the Company shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year as of the end of each such year. Except as otherwise provided in this Article V, and subject to Section 10.5(c), an allocation to a Holder of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.

Section 5.2 General Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 4.8, Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b), Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the Company shall be allocated among the Holders in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Holder, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (a) the distributions that would be made to such Holder pursuant to Section 4.1 if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were distributed, in accordance with Section 4.1, to the Holders immediately after making such allocation, minus (b) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

Section 5.3 Additional Allocation Provisions.

(a) Regulatory Allocations.

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2, or any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations section 1.704-2(g)(2). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.3(a)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) or in Section 5.3(a)(i), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Holder who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt (determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s respective share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt. A Holder’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4); provided that a Holder shall not be subject to this provision to the extent that an exception is provided by Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) and any IRS revenue rulings, revenue procedures or notices issued with respect thereto. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3(a)(ii) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.3(a)(ii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i).

(iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(a)(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(a)(iv) were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 5.3(a)(iv) comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(v) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (A) the amount (if any) that such Holder is obligated to restore to the Company upon complete liquidation of such Holder’s Membership Interest (including the Holder’s interest in outstanding Company Preferred Units and other Company Units) and (B) the amount that such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations sections 1.704-2 (g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(a)(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(a)(v) and Section 5.3(a)(iv) were not in the Agreement.

(vi) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss) would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss) shall be reallocated (A) first, among the other Holders of Company Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, and (B) thereafter, among the Holders of other Company Units, as determined by the Managing Member, subject to the limitations of this Section 5.3(a)(vi).

(vii) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code section 734(b) or Code section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder of Company Common Units in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, 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 such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders of Company Common Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the event that Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holder(s) to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(viii) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 5.3(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders of Company Common Units so that to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder of a Company Common Unit shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(b) Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a Holder’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Holder’s respective interest in Company profits shall be equal to such Holder’s Percentage Interest with respect to Company Common Units; provided, however, that the Company (i) shall maintain sufficient nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of Regulations section 1.752-1(a)(2)), and (ii) shall, to the maximum extent possible, adopt approaches, allocation methods, and sharing percentages under Regulations section 1.752-3(a) and (b) to ensure that the Original Member does not recognize gain under (A) Code section 707(a)(2)(B), (B) Code section 731(a) by reason of Code section 752(b) and (C) Code section 741 by reason of Code section 752(d).

(c) Modification of Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V, the Managing Member shall be authorized to make, in its reasonable discretion, appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to this Agreement (i) in order to comply with Section 704 of the Code or applicable Regulations, (ii) to allocate properly items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to those Holders who bear the economic burden or benefit associated therewith or (iii) to otherwise cause the Holders to achieve the objectives underlying this Agreement as reasonably determined by the Managing Member. If there are any changes after the date of this Agreement in applicable tax law, regulations or interpretation, or any errors, ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions in this Agreement with respect to allocations to be made to Capital Accounts which would, individually or in the aggregate, cause the Holders not to achieve in any material respect the economic objectives underlying this Agreement, the Managing Member may in its discretion make appropriate adjustments to such allocations in order to achieve or approximate such economic objectives.

Section 5.4 Tax Allocations.

(a) In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each Company item of income, gain,

loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3.

(b) Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 5.4(a), Tax Items with respect to an Asset that is contributed to the Company with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Member immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. The Company shall account for such variation under the traditional method as described in Regulations section 1.704-3(b). In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Section 1.1), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and using the method chosen by the Managing Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company issues any noncompensatory options as defined in Regulations section 1.721-2 and a Member receives an interest in the Company pursuant to the exercise of such an option, the Company shall make such allocations and adjustments to the Members’ Capital Accounts as are required to comply with Regulations section 1.704-1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section shall not restrict the Original Member or any Affiliate of the Original Member other than the Managing Member. The Managing Member and any Affiliates of the Managing Member may acquire Membership Interests and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of a Member relating to such Membership Interests.

(b) Subject to any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 6.4 and any other agreements entered into by a Member or any of its Affiliates with the Managing Member, the Company or a Subsidiary (including any employment agreement), any Member and any Assignee, officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate, member or stockholder of any Member shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Company, including business interests and activities that are in direct or indirect competition with the Company or that are enhanced by the activities of the Company. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Member or Assignee. Subject to such agreements, none of the Members nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any other Person (other than the Managing Member, to the extent expressly provided herein), and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Section 6.4 and any other agreements entered into by a Member or its Affiliates with the Managing Member, the Company or a Subsidiary, to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Company, any Member, or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, any Member or such other Person, could be taken by such Person.

Section 6.4 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company may lend or contribute funds or other assets to the Managing Member and its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which the Managing Member has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Company, on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than would be available from unaffiliated third parties as determined by the Managing Member. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Member or any other Person. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by each Member that the Managing Member may (i) borrow funds from the Company in order to redeem, at any time or from time to time, options or warrants previously or hereafter issued by the Managing Member, (ii) put to the Company, for cash, any rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities that the Managing Member may desire or be required to purchase or redeem or (iii) borrow funds from the Company to acquire assets that will be contributed to the Company for Company Units.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.3, the Company may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships, corporations, business trusts or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.

(c) The Managing Member and its Affiliates may sell, transfer or convey any property to the Company, directly or indirectly, on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than would be available from unaffiliated third parties as determined by the Managing Member.

(d) The Managing Member may propose and adopt on behalf of the Company employee benefit plans funded by the Company for the benefit of employees of the Managing Member, the Company, Subsidiaries of the Company or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Managing Member, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries.

Section 6.5 Liability of Members.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnitee, in such capacity, shall be liable to the Company, any Member or any of their respective Affiliates, for any losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of such Person if (i) either (A) the Indemnitee, at the time of such action or inaction, determined in good faith that its, his or her course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or (B) in the case of inaction by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee did not intend its, his or her inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Company and (ii) the action or inaction did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by the Indemnitee.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an indemnified Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company for its, his or her good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand, restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of such Persons otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace fully and completely such other duties and liabilities of such Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement the Managing Member or any officers or directors of the Managing Member is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a similar grant of authority or latitude, in making such decisions, such Person shall be entitled to take into account its own interests as well as the interests of the Members as a whole or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, such Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

(c) The Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors, and any act or omission suffered or taken by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or financial or other advisors (including a financial advisory Affiliates of the Managing Member, the Company or the Managing Member) will be full justification for any such act or omission, and the Managing Member will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected with reasonable care.

Section 6.6 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee (and such person’s heirs, successors, assigns, executors or administrators) to the full extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquid or illiquid (collectively, “Liabilities”) arising from any and any threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals (“Actions”), in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Indemnitee in connection with the activities of the Company and from Liabilities of the Company imposed on such Indemnitee by virtue of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was the Managing Member, an Affiliate of the Managing Member, or an officer, director, employee, representative, agent or trustee of the Managing Member, the Company or of their respective Affiliates; provided, that such indemnification shall be available with respect to any Liability arising out of the action or inaction of such Indemnitee only if such action or inaction was not expressly prohibited by this Agreement and (i) either (A) the Indemnitee, at the time of such action or inaction, determined in good faith that its, his or her course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or (B) in the case of inaction by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee did not intend its, his or her inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Company and (ii) the action or inaction did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by the Indemnitee. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption or otherwise constitute evidence that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above.

(b) Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Action, subject to this Section 6.6 shall be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such Action upon receipt by the Company of a written commitment by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.6.

(c) Any indemnification obligations of the Company arising under this Section 6.6 shall be satisfied out of any Company assets (including any amounts otherwise currently or subsequently distributable to any Member(s)).

(d) The right to indemnification provided hereby shall not be exclusive of, and shall not affect, any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the

Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or the Managing Member (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the IRS, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities or judgments or fines under this Section 6.6.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.6 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 6.6 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.6 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Company’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 6.6 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

(i) It is the intent of the parties that any after-tax amounts paid by the Company to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code section 707(c).

Article VII

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS

Section 7.1 Return of Capital. Except pursuant to the rights of Redemption set forth in Section 14.1 or in any Company Unit Designation, no Member shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon dissolution of the Company as provided herein. Except to the extent provided in Article IV or Article V or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in any Company Unit Designation, no Member or Assignee shall have priority over any other Member or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions.

Section 7.2 Rights of Members Relating to the Company.

(a) In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the Act, the Managing Member shall deliver to each Member a copy of any information mailed to all of the common stockholders of the Managing Member as soon as practicable after such mailing.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.2, the Managing Member may keep confidential from the Members (or any of them), other than the Original Member or its successors in interest, for such period of time as the Managing Member determines to be reasonable, any information that (i) the Managing Member believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the Managing Member in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Company or the Managing Member or (ii) the Company or the Managing Member is required by law or by agreement to keep confidential.

Section 7.3 Company Right to Call Membership Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, on and after the date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Members (other than the Managing Member and its Subsidiaries) are less than five percent (5%), the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time and at any time to redeem all (but not less than all) outstanding Company Class B Common Units by treating each Qualifying Party as a Tendering Party who has delivered a Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 14.1 in respect of all of such Qualifying Party’s Company Class B Common Units, by notice to such Qualifying Party that the Company has elected to exercise its rights under this Section 7.3. Such notice given by the Managing Member to a Qualifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be treated as if it were a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Managing Member by such Qualifying Party. For purposes of this Section 7.3, the provisions of Sections 14.1(d)(i) and 14.1(d)(ii) shall not apply, but the remainder of Section 14.1 shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

Section 7.4 Drag-Along Rights.

(a) If at any time the Managing Member and/or its Affiliates desire to Transfer in one or more transactions all or any portion of its and/or their Membership Interests (or any beneficial interest therein) in an arm’s-length transaction to a bona fide third party that is not an Affiliate of the Managing Member (an “Applicable Sale”), the Managing Member may require each other Member and Assignee to sell the same ratable share of its Membership Interests as is being sold by the Managing Member and such Affiliates (based upon the total Membership Interests held by the Managing Member and its Affiliates at such time) on the same terms and conditions (“Drag-Along Right”). The Managing Member may in its sole discretion elect to cause the Managing Member and/or the Company to structure the Applicable Sale as a merger or consolidation or as a sale of the Company’s assets. If such Applicable Sale is structured (i) as a merger or consolidation, then no Member or Assignee shall have any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) as a sale of assets, then no Member may object to any subsequent liquidation or other distribution of the proceeds therefrom. Each Member and Assignee agrees to consent to, and raise no objections against, an Applicable Sale. In the event of the exercise by the Managing Member of its Drag-Along Right pursuant to this Section 7.4, each Member and Assignee shall take all reasonably necessary and desirable actions approved by the Managing Member in

connection with the consummation of the Applicable Sale, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to provide customary and reasonable representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions and other agreements relating to such Applicable Sale and to otherwise effect the transaction; provided, however, that (A) such Members and Assignees shall not be required to give disproportionately greater or more onerous representations, warranties, indemnities or covenants than the Managing Member or its Affiliates, (B) such Members and Assignees shall not be obligated to bear any share of the out-of-pocket expenses, costs or fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or its Affiliates in connection with such Applicable Sale unless and to the extent that such expenses, costs and fees were incurred for the benefit of the Company or all of its Members, (C) such Members and Assignees shall not be obligated or otherwise responsible for more than their proportionate share of any indemnities or other liabilities incurred by the Company and the Members as sellers in respect of such Applicable Sale, and (D) any indemnities or other liabilities approved by the Managing Member shall be limited, in respect of each Member, to such Member’s share of the proceeds from the Applicable Sale.

(b) At least five (5) Business Days before consummation of an Applicable Sale, the Managing Member shall (i) provide the Members and Assignees written notice (the “Applicable Sale Notice”) of such Applicable Sale, which notice shall contain (A) the name and address of the third party purchaser, (B) the proposed purchase price, terms of payment and other material terms and conditions of such purchaser’s offer, together with a copy of any binding agreement with respect to such Applicable Sale and (C) notification of whether or not the Managing Member has elected to exercise its Drag-Along Right and (ii) promptly notify the Members and Assignees of all proposed changes to such material terms and keep the Members and Assignees reasonably informed as to all material terms relating to such sale or contribution, and promptly deliver to the Members and Assignees copies of all final material agreements relating thereto not already provided in accordance with this Section 7.4(b) or otherwise. The Managing Member shall provide the Members and Assignees written notice of the termination of an Applicable Sale within five (5) Business Days following such termination, which notice shall state that the Applicable Sale Notice served with respect to such Applicable Sale is rescinded.

Article VIII

BOOKS AND RECORDS

Section 8.1 Books and Records. At all times during the continuance of the Company, the Company shall prepare and maintain separate books of account for the Company for financial reporting purposes, on an accrual basis, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The Company shall keep at its principal office the following:

Article IX

TAX MATTERS

Section 9.1 Preparation of Tax Returns. The Managing Member shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Company income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Company for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable effort to furnish, within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by Members and for federal and state income tax and any other tax reporting purposes. The Members shall promptly provide the Managing Member with such information relating to the Contributed Assets, including tax basis and other relevant information, as may be reasonably requested by the Managing Member from time to time.

Section 9.2 Tax Elections. The Managing Member shall file (or cause to be filed) an election pursuant to Code section 754 for the Company for its first Fiscal Year and shall maintain and keep such election in effect at all times. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Managing Member shall determine whether to make any other available election pursuant to the Code. The Managing Member shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (other than any election under Code section 754) with the prior written consent of the Original Member.

Section 9.3 Tax Matters Member.

(a) The Managing Member shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company for federal income tax purposes. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third-party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Company in addition to any reimbursement pursuant to Section 6.2. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Company from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder. At the request of any Member, the Managing Member agrees to inform such Member regarding the preparation and filing of any returns and with respect to any subsequent audit or litigation relating to such returns; provided, however, that the Managing Member shall have the exclusive power to determine whether to file, and the content of, such returns.

(b) The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

(i) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Company items required to be

taken into account by a Member for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Members, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Member (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Member (as the case may be) or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Code section 6231) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Code section 6223(b)(2));

(ii) in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Company level of any item required to be taken into account by a Member for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the United States Tax Court or the United States Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Company’s principal place of business is located;

(iii) to intervene in any action brought by any other Member for judicial review of a final adjustment;

(iv) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request;

(v) to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax that is attributable to any item required to be taken into account by a Member for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and

(vi) to take any other action on behalf of the Members or any of them in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations.

The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the Managing Member set forth in Section 6.6 shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such.

Section 9.4 Withholding. Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Managing Member determines that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company pursuant to Code section 1441, Code section 1442, Code section 1445 or Code section 1446. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within fifteen (15) days after notice from

the Managing Member that such payment must be made unless (a) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Member or (b) the Managing Member determines that such payment may be satisfied out of the Available Cash of the Company that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Member. Each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a security interest in such Member’s Membership Interest to secure such Member’s obligation to pay to the Company any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.4. In the event that a Member fails to pay any amounts owed to the Company pursuant to this Section 9.4 when due, the Managing Member may elect to make the payment to the Company on behalf of such defaulting Member, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Member and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Company as against such defaulting Member (including the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Member hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Member shall take such actions as the Company or the Managing Member shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

Section 9.5 Organizational Expenses. The Managing Member may cause the Company to elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Company ratably over a 180-month period as provided in Code section 709.

Section 9.6 Classification. The parties intend that the Company shall be classified as a partnership for United States federal, state, and local tax purposes. No Person shall take any action inconsistent with such classification.

Article X

MEMBER TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

Section 10.1 Transfer.

(a) No part of the interest of a Member shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, to any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement.

(b) No Membership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article X. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of a Membership Interest not made in accordance with this Article X shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 10.2 Members’ Rights to Transfer.

(a) General. Except as provided below, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of such Membership Interest to any transferee without the consent of the

Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Member may, at any time, without the consent of the Managing Member, Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest pursuant to a Permitted Transfer. Any Transfer by a Member or an Assignee is subject to Section 10.3 and to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) Qualified Transferee. Any Transfer of a Membership Interest shall be made only to a single Qualified Transferee; provided, however, that, for such purposes, all Qualified Transferees that are Affiliates, or that comprise investment accounts or funds managed by a single Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates, shall be considered together to be a single Qualified Transferee; provided, further, that each Transfer meeting the minimum Transfer restriction of Section 10.2(a)(iii) may be to a separate Qualified Transferee.

(ii) Opinion of Counsel. The transferor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Managing Member an opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or violate any state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Membership Interests Transferred; provided, however, that the Managing Member may waive this condition upon the request of the transferor. If the Managing Member determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk of requiring the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or otherwise violating any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Company Units, the Managing Member may prohibit any Transfer otherwise permitted under this Section 10.2 by a Member of Membership Interests.

(iii) Minimum Transfer Restriction. Any Transferring Member must Transfer not less than the lesser of (A) [_____(____)] Company Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Managing Member) or (B) all of the remaining Company Units owned by such Transferring Member; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing restriction, all Company Units owned by Affiliates of a Member shall be considered to be owned by such Member.

(iv) Exception for Permitted Transfers. The conditions of Section 10.2(a)(ii) through Section 10.2(a)(iii) shall not apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer. It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Membership Interest, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Member are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Member of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the Managing Member. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Member, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Member, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 10.4.

(b) Incapacity. If a Member is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Member’s estate shall have all the rights of a Member, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Members, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Member possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Company. The Incapacity of a Member, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Company.

(c) Adverse Tax Consequences. No Transfer by a Member of its Membership Interests (including any Redemption, any other acquisition of Company Units by the Managing Member or any acquisition of Company Units by the Company and including any Permitted Transfer) may be made to or by any Person if the Company determined, based on the advice of a qualified tax advisor, (i) such Transfer would create a material risk of the Company being treated as an association taxable as a corporation, or (ii) there would be a material risk that such Transfer would be treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code section 7704. For so long as the only Members are the Managing Member and the Original Member (and/or their Affiliates), the preceding sentence shall not apply to a Transfer (including any Redemption, any other acquisition of Company Units by the Managing Member or any acquisition of Company Units by the Company and including any Permitted Transfer) by the Original Member or any Affiliate of the Original Member to any other Person provided that the Transfer (including any Redemption, any other acquisition of Company Units by the Managing Member or any acquisition of Company Units by the Company and including any Permitted Transfer) to such other Person would not cause the Company to fail to qualify for the private placement safe harbor described in Regulations section 1.7704-1(h).

Section 10.3 Substituted Members.

(a) No Member shall have the right to substitute a transferee other than a Permitted Transferee as a Member in its place. A transferee of the interest of a Member may be admitted as a Substituted Member only with the consent of the Managing Member; provided, however, that a Permitted Transferee shall be admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to a Permitted Transfer without the consent of the Managing Member, subject to compliance with the last sentence of this Section 10.3(a). The failure or refusal by the Managing Member to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Member shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Company or the Managing Member. Subject to the foregoing, an Assignee shall not be admitted as a Substituted Member until and unless it furnishes to the Managing Member (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Member, of all the terms, conditions and applicable obligations of this Agreement, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Assignee and (iii) such other documents and instruments as the Managing Member may require to effect such Assignee’s admission as a Substituted Member.

(b) Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Member, the Managing Member shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Company to reflect the name, address and number of Company Units of such Substituted Member and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Company Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Member.

(c) A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with this Article X shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement.

Section 10.4 Assignees. If the Managing Member’s consent is required for the admission of any transferee under Section 10.2 as a Substituted Member, as described in Section 10.3, and the Managing Member withholds such consent, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited liability company interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Company and the share of Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company attributable to the Company Units assigned to such transferee and the rights to Transfer the Company Units provided in this Article X, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Company Units for any other purpose under this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in Section 14.1 with respect to a Qualifying Party that becomes a Tendering Party), and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent or vote with respect to such Company Units on any matter presented to the Members for approval (such right to Consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor Member). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Company Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article X to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member desiring to make an assignment of Company Units.

Section 10.5 General Provisions.

(a) No Member may withdraw from the Company other than: (i) as a result of a permitted Transfer of all of such Member’s Membership Interest in accordance with this Article X with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Member; (ii) pursuant to a redemption (or acquisition by the Managing Member) of all of its Membership Interest pursuant to a Redemption under Section 7.3 or Section 14.1 and/or pursuant to the terms of any applicable Company Unit Designation; or (iii) as a result of the acquisition by the Managing Member of all of such Member’s Membership Interest, whether or not pursuant to Section 14.1(b).

during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method or methods selected by the Managing Member.

Section 10.6 Restrictions on Termination Transactions. Neither the Managing Member nor the Managing Member shall engage in, or cause or permit, a Termination Transaction, other than (x) with the Consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Members, or (y) either:

thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and then such Termination Transaction shall have been consummated; or

(b) all of the following conditions are met: (i) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the Company prior to the announcement of the Termination Transaction are, immediately after the Termination Transaction, owned directly or indirectly by the Company or another limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Company (in each case, the “Surviving Company”); (ii) the Surviving Company is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (iii) the Members (other than the Managing Member) that held Company Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such Termination Transaction own a percentage interest of the Surviving Company based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the Company and the other net assets of the Surviving Company immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (iv) the rights of such Members with respect to the Surviving Company (including pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement) are at least as favorable as those of Members holding Company Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction (except to the extent that any such rights are consistent with clause (v) below) and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Company; and (v) such rights include the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Company at any time for cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of such interest at the time of redemption, as determined at least once every calendar quarter by an independent appraisal firm of recognized national standing retained by the Surviving Company.

following the consent of the Managing Member to such admission and the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 11.1(a).

(c) If any Additional Member is admitted to the Company on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among Holders for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among such Additional Member and all other Holders by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method or methods selected by the Managing Member.

All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Company Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Members and Assignees other than the Additional Member, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all the Members and Assignees including such Additional Member.

Section 11.2 Limit on Number of Members.

Section 12.2 Events Causing Dissolution.

(a) The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members in accordance with this Agreement. No Member shall (i)resign from the Company prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company except in connection with a Transfer of Company Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii)take any action to dissolve, terminate or liquidate the Company or to require apportionment, appraisal or partition of the Company or any of its assets, or to file a xxxx for an accounting, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, and each Member, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives any rights to take any such actions under

Applicable Law, including any right to petition a court for judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

(b) The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Liquidating Event”):

(i) an election to dissolve the Company made by the Managing Member, with the Consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Members;

(ii) the expiration of forty-five (45) days after the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company; or

(iii) any other event which results in a mandatory dissolution under the Act.

(c) The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Member or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company shall not in and of itself cause dissolution of the Company.

Section 12.3 Distribution upon Dissolution.

(a) Upon the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 12.2, unless the Company is continued pursuant to Section 12.2, the Managing Member (or, in the event that the Managing Member has dissolved, become Bankrupt or ceased to operate, any Person elected by a Majority-in-Interest of the Members (the Managing Member or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company and shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and property, and the Company property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the Managing Member, include shares of stock in the Managing Member) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(i) First, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to creditors including Members who are creditors (other than with respect to liabilities owed to Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions), whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof;

(ii) Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s liabilities to the Members in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions, whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof; and

(iii) Subject to the terms of any Company Unit Designation, the balance, if any, to the Members, in the same manner as distributions under Section 4.1.

The Managing Member shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XII.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.3(a) that require liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Holders, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (including to those Holders as creditors) and/or distribute to the Holders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(a), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Holders, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

(c) If any Holder has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year of the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 12.2), such Holder shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Holders pursuant to this Article XII may be:

(i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Managing Member and the Holders for the purpose of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Managing Member arising out of or in connection with the Company and/or Company activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Holders, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement; or

(ii) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Holders in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 12.3(a) as soon as practicable.

Section 12.4 Rights of Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to the rights of any Holder set forth in a Company Unit Designation, (a) each Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Holder shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Company and (c) no Holder shall have priority over any other Holder as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.

Section 12.6 Reasonable 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 12.3, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between and among the Members during the period of liquidation.

Article XIII

PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS
OF MEMBERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS

Section 13.1 Actions and Consents of Members. The actions requiring Consent of any Member pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article XIII.

Section 13.2 Amendments. Except as otherwise required or permitted by this Agreement (including Section 6.1), amendments to this Agreement must be approved by (a) the Managing Member and (b) a Majority-in-Interest of the Members. Upon obtaining any such Consent, or any other Consent required by this Agreement, and without further action or execution by any other Person, including any Member, (i) any amendment to this Agreement may be implemented and reflected in a writing executed solely by the Managing Member, and (ii) the Members shall be deemed a party to and bound by such amendment of this Agreement.

Section 13.3 Procedures for Meetings and Actions of the Members.

(a) Meetings of the Members may be called only by the Managing Member. The call shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members entitled to act at the meeting not less than ten (10) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such meeting. Members may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Unless approval by a different number or proportion of the Members is required by this Agreement, or any Company Unit Designation, the affirmative vote of a Majority-in-Interest of the Members shall be sufficient to approve such proposal at a meeting of the Members. Whenever the Consent of any Members is permitted or required under this Agreement, such Consent may be given at a meeting of Members or in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 13.3(b).

(b) Any action requiring the Consent of any Member or a group of Members pursuant to this Agreement, or that is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken or consented to is given by Members whose affirmative vote would be sufficient to approve such action or provide such Consent at a meeting

of the Members. Such Consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of such Members at a meeting of the Members. Such Consent shall be filed with the Managing Member. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission, the Managing Member may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the Managing Member’s recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided, however, that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior to such specified time.

(c) Each Member entitled to act at a meeting of Members may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Each proxy must be signed by the Member or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Company’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Member executing such proxy, unless such proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.

(d) The Managing Member may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining the Members (i) entitled to Consent to any action, (ii) entitled to receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the Members or (iii) in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety (90) days and, in the case of a meeting of the Members, not less than ten (10) days, before the date on which the meeting is to be held. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of the meeting is sent, and the record date for any other determination of Members shall be the effective date of such Member action, distribution or other event. When a determination of the Members entitled to vote at any meeting of the Members has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

(e) Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by the Managing Member or such other Person as the Managing Member may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the Managing Member or such other Person deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limitation, meetings of Members may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the Managing Member’s stockholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of the Managing Member’s stockholders.

Article XIV

REDEMPTION RIGHTS

Section 14.1 Redemption Rights of Qualifying Parties.

(a) A Qualifying Party shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to exchange all or a portion of the Company Class B Common Units held by such Qualifying Party (Company Common Units that have in fact been tendered for redemption being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) for the Class A Common Stock Amount or, at the sole and absolute election of the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date (in each case, a “Redemption”), in each case pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Certificate of Incorporation and the provisions of this Article XIV. Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Managing Member by the Qualifying Party when exercising the Redemption right (the “Tendering Party”). In the event that the Managing Member elects to cause the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Tendered Units in exchange for the applicable Cash Amount, such applicable Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified or bank check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the Managing Member’s sole and absolute discretion, by wire transfer of funds on or before the Specified Redemption Date. To the extent determined by the Managing Member, the Company will treat a redemption of Tendered Units pursuant to this Article XIV (including any redemption for a Cash Amount) as a disguised sale of membership interests under Code section 707(a)(2)(B).

(b) If the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, does not elect on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date to redeem all of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Party in exchange for the Cash Amount, then the portion of the Tendered Units not being redeemed for the Cash Amount shall be redeemed for the Class A Common Stock Amount calculated based on the portion of Tendered Units to be acquired in exchange for Class A Common Stock (such percentage being referred to as the “Applicable Percentage”). The Tendering Party shall submit such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments as the Managing Member in good faith determines to be necessary, to effect compliance with the Securities Act. A number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the Class A Common Stock Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered by the Managing Member as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock and, if applicable, Rights, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than restrictions provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, the Tendering Party shall be deemed the owner of such shares of Class A Common Stock and Rights for all purposes, including rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. Shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with a Redemption pursuant to this Section 14.1(b) may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as the Managing Member in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws.

(c) The Company may elect to raise funds for the payment of any applicable Cash Amount (i) solely by requiring that the Managing Member or its Subsidiaries contribute to the Company funds from (A) the proceeds of a registered public offering by the Managing Member of shares of Class A Common Stock sufficient to purchase the Tendered Units or (B) any other sources available to the Managing Member or its Subsidiaries or (ii) with the consent of the Tendering Party, from any other sources available to the Company. If the Cash Amount is not paid on or before the Specified Redemption Date, interest shall accrue with respect to the Cash Amount from the day after the Specified Redemption Date to and including the date on which the Cash Amount is paid at a rate equal to the applicable federal short-term rate as published monthly by the IRS.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Redemption pursuant to this Section 14.1:

(i) Without the consent of the Managing Member, no Tendering Party may effect a Redemption for fewer than [_____(____)] Company Class B Common Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Managing Member) or, if such Tendering Party holds fewer than [_____(____)] Company Class B Common Units (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Managing Member), all of the Company Class B Common Units held by such Tendering Party.

(ii) If (A) a Tendering Party surrenders Tendered Units during the period after the Company Record Date with respect to a distribution payable to Holders of Company Common Units, and before the record date established by the Managing Member for a dividend to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such Company distribution, and (B) the Managing Member elects to redeem any of such Tendered Units in exchange for Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 14.1(b), then such Tendering Party shall pay to the Managing Member on the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash equal to the Company distribution paid or payable in respect of such Tendered Units.

(iii) The consummation of such Redemption shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

(iv) The Tendering Party shall continue to own (subject, in the case of an Assignee, to the provisions of Section 10.4) all Company Common Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Member or an Assignee, as applicable, with respect to such Company Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until the Specified Redemption Date and until such Tendered Units are redeemed. Until a Specified Redemption Date and a redemption of the Tendered Units by the Managing Member for the Class A Common Stock Amount, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Managing Member with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in connection with such acquisition.

(e) In connection with any Redemption, the Managing Member shall have the right to receive an opinion of counsel for the Tendering Party reasonably satisfactory to

it to the effect that the proposed Redemption will not cause the Company or the Managing Member to violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Redemption or the issuance and sale of Class A Common Stock to the Tendering Party pursuant to Section 14.1(b) of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Qualifying Party may withdraw or amend a Notice of Redemption, in whole or in part, before the effectiveness of the Redemption, at any time before 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Specified Redemption Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Managing Member and the Company, specifying (i) the number of withdrawn Company Class B Common Units, (ii) if any, the number of Company Class B Common Units as to which the Notice of Redemption remains in effect and (iii) if the Qualifying Party so determines, a new Specified Redemption Date or any other new or revised information permitted in the Notice of Redemption.
