(c) The Corporation and Ay Xxx Xxx LLC covenant and agree that, to the extent that a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective and available for shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered with respect to any Exchange, shares that have been registered under the Securities Act shall be delivered in respect of such Exchange.

As required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations, the parties shall report any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale of the LLC Units by an LLC Unitholder to the Corporation, and no party shall take a contrary position on any income tax return, amendment thereof or communication with a taxing authority unless an alternate position is permitted under the Code and Treasury Regulations and the Corporation consents in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Further, in connection with any Exchange consummated hereunder, Ay Xxx Xxx LLC and/or the Corporation shall provide the exchanging LLC Unitholder with all reasonably necessary information to enable the exchanging LLC Unitholder to file its income Tax returns for the taxable year that includes the Exchange, including information with respect to Code Section 751 assets (including relevant information regarding “unrealized receivables” or “inventory items”) and Section 743(b) basis adjustments as soon as practicable and in all events within 60 days following the close of such taxable year (and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide estimates of such information within 90 days of the applicable Exchanges).

SECTION 3.11. Withholding. The Corporation and Ay Xxx Xxx LLC shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made to a LLC Unitholder pursuant to any Exchange consummated under this Agreement all Taxes that each of the Corporation and Ay Xxx Xxx LLC is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Code (or any other provision of applicable law), including, without limitation, Section 1446(f) of the Code. Ay Xxx Xxx LLC may at its sole discretion reduce the Class A Common Stock issued to a LLC Unitholder in an Exchange in an amount that corresponds to the amount of the required withholding described in the immediately preceding sentence and all such amounts shall be treated as having been paid to such LLC Unitholder.

SECTION 3.12. Acknowledgement and Agreement with Respect to the MTA. By his, her or its execution hereof (jncluding by any joinder agreement hereto), (i) each LLC Unitholder acknowledges that it has received a copy of the MTA and carefully reviewed the same, with such advice in connection therewith from its advisors, including legal counsel, as such LLC Unitholder deems necessary or appropriate, (ii) each LLC Unitholder consents and agrees to the provisions of Section 1.7 of the MTA, including, without limitation, the appointment of the Company Securityholder Representative pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof, with authority to act on behalf of such LLC Unitholder (as a Company Equity Holder under the MTA), and such other authority, as provided in the MTA, and (iii) each Class A Unitholder who is an ADK Principal Owner consents to and agrees to the provisions of Section 2.1(b)(v) of the MTA under which such LLC Unitholder is deemed to have contributed to the Corporation all of his, her or its voting rights in Ay Xxx Xxx LLC to the Corporation in consideration for the receipt of the consideration specified therein.

SECTION 3.13. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

SECTION 3.14. Independent Nature of LLC Unitholders’ Rights and Obligations. The obligations of each LLC Unitholder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other LLC Unitholder, and no LLC Unitholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other LLC Unitholder hereunder. The decision of each LLC Unitholder to enter into to this Agreement has been made by such LLC Unitholder independently of any other LLC Unitholder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any LLC Unitholder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the LLC Unitholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the LLC Unitholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Corporation acknowledges that the LLC Unitholders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Corporation will not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 3.15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware, without regards to its principles of conflicts of laws.
