EXCHANGE

Section 2.01  Exchange of Paired Interests for Class A Common Stock.  Subject to Sections 2.02 and 2.03, each Holder shall be entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to surrender Paired Interests to PubCo in exchange (such exchange, an “Exchange”) for the delivery by PubCo to such Holder, at the option of the Board (acting by a majority of disinterested members of the Board or a committee of disinterested directors of the Board), of:

(a)   A Cash Exchange Payment by PubCo; or

(b)   a number of shares of Class A Common Stock that is equal to the product of the number of Paired Interests surrendered multiplied by the Exchange Rate (a “Share Settlement”).

3

Section 2.02  Exchange Procedures; Notices and Revocations.

(a)   Subject to Sections 2.02(b) and (c), a Holder may exercise the right to effect an Exchange as set forth in Section 2.01 by delivering a written notice of exchange in respect of the Paired Interests to be Exchanged substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice of Exchange”), duly executed by such Holder, to PubCo and the Company at the address set forth in Section 4.03 during normal business hours, or if any agent for the Exchange is duly appointed and acting (the “Exchange Agent”), to the office of the Exchange Agent during normal business hours.  If Units and/or the Class B Common Stock are then represented by certificates, certificate(s) representing at least the number of Units and/or Class B Common Stock being Exchanged, with instrument(s) of transfer reasonably acceptable to PubCo and the Company and executed in blank, shall be delivered by the Exchanging Holder to PubCo and the Company at the address set forth in Section 4.03 during normal business hours or to the offices of the Exchange Agent during normal business hours.  If such certificates have been lost, the Exchanging Holder may deliver, in lieu of such certificate(s), an affidavit of lost certificates.

(b)   A Holder may exercise the right to effect an Exchange as set forth in Section 2.01 provided the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)    the Exchange shall occur during a taxable year of the Company only on one or more of up to four specified dates determined by PubCo (each, a “Specified Exchange Date”);

(ii)   the Holder seeking to effect the Exchange provides PubCo and the Company an Notice of Exchange on a date that is at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Specified Exchange Date on which such Exchange is to occur; and

(iii)  the number of Units that may be Exchanged or otherwise transferred during the taxable year of the Company (other than in private transfers described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(e)) cannot exceed 10 percent of the total interests in the Company’s capital or profits (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(k)).

(c)   For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions imposed under Section 2.02(b) are intended to ensure that the Company is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code. If PubCo determines at any time, in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Company’s tax advisors, that there is not a reasonable possibility that the Company will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code at any time during the current year or next taxable year (for instance, because the Company satisfies the “safe harbor” requirements under Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h) (100 Partner Safe Harbor)), PubCo may determine that the restrictions imposed under Section 2.02(b) are no longer necessary and such restrictions shall not be imposed on any Exchanges, in which case PubCo shall notify the Holders that such restrictions shall not be imposed unless and until PubCo determines otherwise (after consultation with the Company’s tax advisors). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) PubCo shall have the authority, in its reasonable discretion, to prevent an Exchange or add, modify, change or amend the restrictions imposed under Section 2.02(b) as is reasonably necessary or advisable so that the Company is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code, and (ii) PubCo may permit an Exchange that would otherwise not be permitted under Section 2.02(b), if PubCo determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such an Exchange poses sufficiently little risk to the Company being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code. In the event the number of Units that may be Exchanged or otherwise transferred during any taxable year of the Company is reasonably expected to exceed 10 percent of the total interests in the Company’s capital or profits (as provided for under Section 2.02(b)(iii)), PubCo shall have the authority, in its reasonable discretion, to limit the Exchanges on any subsequent Specified Exchange Date in such taxable year or period such that the number of Units that may be Exchanged or otherwise transferred during such taxable year (other than in private transfers described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(e)) shall not exceed 10 percent of the total interests in the Company’s capital or profits. Any such limitation imposed on a Specified Exchange Date shall be applied ratably among the Holders seeking to effect an Exchange on such Specified Exchange Date based on the total number of Units that each such Holder seeks to Exchange on such Specified Exchange Date

(d)   Contingent Notice of Exchange and Revocation by Holders.

(i)    A Notice of Exchange from a Holder may specify that the Exchange is to be contingent (including as to the timing) upon (1) the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an underwritten offering or otherwise) of shares of Deliverable Common Stock into which the Paired Interests are exchangeable or (2) contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or other transaction or event in which the Deliverable Common Stock would be exchanged or converted or become exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other securities or property; provided, that such condition shall occur prior to or on the Specified Exchange Date and the effectiveness of the Exchange shall be deemed to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Specified Exchange Date.

(ii)   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Holder may withdraw or amend a Notice of Exchange, in whole or in part, prior to the effectiveness of the Exchange, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Specified Exchange Date (or any such later time as may be required by Applicable Law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to PubCo and the Company or the Exchange Agent, specifying (1) the number of withdrawn Paired Interests, (2) if any, the number of Paired Interests as to which the Notice of Exchange remains in effect and (3) if the Holder so determines, a new Specified Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in the Notice of Exchange.

(e)   PubCo shall provide notice to the Exchanging Holder of its intention to consummate an Exchange through a Cash Exchange Payment on the second Business Day immediately following the receipt of a Notice of Exchange (a “Cash Exchange Payment Notice”).  If PubCo does not timely deliver a Cash Exchange Payment Notice, then PubCo shall be deemed to have elected the Share Settlement method under Section 2.01(b).

(f)    Each Exchange shall be deemed to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Specified Exchange Date, and, unless such Exchange is to be settled with a Cash Exchange Payment,  the Exchanging Holder (or other Person(s) whose name or names in which the Deliverable Common Stock is to be issued) shall be deemed to be a holder of Deliverable Common Stock from and after the effectiveness of the Exchange.  As promptly as practicable on or after the Specified Exchange Date, (i) if the Exchange is to be settled with a Share Settlement, then PubCo shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Exchanging Holder (or other Person(s) whose name or names in which the Deliverable Common Stock is to be issued) the number of shares of Deliverable Common Stock,  deliverable upon such Exchange, registered in the name of such Holder (or other Person(s) whose name or names in which the Deliverable Common Stock is to be issued) or (ii) if the Exchange is to be settled with a Cash Exchange Payment, then PubCo shall deliver or caused to be delivered to the Exchanging Holder (or such other Person(s) as may be directed by such Exchanging Holder) the Cash Exchange Payment as promptly as practicable (but not later than five Business Days) after the Specified Exchange Date.  To the extent any Deliverable Common Stock is settled through the facilities of DTC, PubCo, will, subject to Section 2.02(i) below, upon the written instruction of an Exchanging Holder, deliver or cause to be delivered the shares of Deliverable Common Stock deliverable to such Holder (or other Person(s) whose name or names in which the Deliverable Common Stock is to be issued), through the facilities of DTC, to the account of the participant of DTC designated by such Holder.

(g)   Subject to Section 2.02(h), the shares of Deliverable Common Stock issued upon an Exchange shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW), OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

(h)   If (i) any shares of Deliverable Common Stock may be sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective by the SEC, (ii) all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 are met, or (iii) the legend (or a portion thereof) otherwise ceases to be applicable, PubCo, upon the written request of the Holder thereof shall promptly provide such Holder or its respective transferees, without any expense to such Persons (other than applicable transfer taxes and similar governmental charges, if any) with new certificates (or evidence of book-entry share) for securities of like tenor not bearing the provisions of the legend with respect to which the restriction has terminated.  In connection therewith, such Holder shall provide PubCo with such information in its possession as PubCo may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any such legend.

5

(i)    PubCo, the Company and each exchanging Holder shall bear their own respective expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange by such Holder, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated; provided, however, that PubCo will pay any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, further, that if any shares of Deliverable Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Holder that requested the Exchange (or DTC or its nominee for the account of a participant of DTC that will hold the shares for the account of such Holder), then such Holder and/or the Person in whose name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to PubCo or the Company, as applicable, the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of PubCo and the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, a Holder shall not be entitled to effect an Exchange (and, if attempted, any such Exchange shall be void ab initio), and PubCo and the Company shall have the right to refuse to honor any request to effect an Exchange, at any time or during any period, if PubCo or the Company shall reasonably determine that such Exchange (i) would be prohibited by any Applicable Law (including the unavailability of any requisite registration statement filed under the Securities Act or any exemption from the registration requirements thereunder), provided this subsection Section 2.02(j) shall not limit PubCo or the Company’s obligations under Section 2.06(c), (ii) would not be permitted under (x) the LLC Agreement, (y) other agreements with PubCo, the Company or any of their respective controlled Affiliates to which such Exchanging Holder may be party or (z) any written policies of PubCo, the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries related to unlawful or inappropriate trading applicable to its directors, officers or other personnel to which the Exchanging Holder is subject or (iii) would require regulatory approval but such approval has not been obtained; provided, that, PubCo and the Company shall, at the request of any Holder, use their reasonable best efforts to make any applicable regulatory filings as promptly as practicable following the receipt of a Notice of Exchange from such Holder.  Upon such determination, PubCo or the Company (as applicable) shall notify the Holder requesting the Exchange of such determination, which such notice shall include an explanation in reasonable detail as to the reason that the Exchange has not been honored.

Section 2.03  Adjustment.

(a)   The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is any subdivision (by any stock or unit split, stock or unit dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock or unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the shares of Class B Common Stock or Units that is not accompanied by a substantively identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Common Stock.  If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, an Exchanging Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Exchanging Holder would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction.  For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, this Section 2.03(a) shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.  This Agreement shall apply to, mutatis mutandis, and all references to “Paired Interests” shall be deemed to include, any security, securities or other property of PubCo or the Company which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of shares of Class B Common Stock or Units, as applicable, by reason of stock or unit split, reverse stock or unit split, stock or unit dividend or distribution, combination, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, exchange (other than an Exchange) or other transaction.

(b)   This Agreement shall apply to the Paired Interests held by the Holders and their Permitted Transferees as of the date hereof, as well as any Paired Interests hereafter acquired by a Holder and his or her or its Permitted Transferees.

6

Section 2.04  Tender Offers and Other Events with Respect to PubCo.  In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to Class A Common Stock (a “PubCo Offer”) is proposed by PubCo or is proposed to PubCo or its stockholders and approved by the Board or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the Board, the Holders of Paired Interests shall be permitted to participate in such PubCo Offer by delivery of a Notice of Exchange (which Notice of Exchange shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of such PubCo Offer (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be contingent upon the consummation of such PubCo Offer and not be effective if such PubCo Offer is not so consummated)).  In the case of a PubCo Offer proposed by PubCo, PubCo will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the Holders of Paired Interests to participate in such PubCo Offer to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock without discrimination; provided, that without limiting the generality of this sentence (and without limiting the ability of any Holder to Exchange Paired Interests at any time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), PubCo will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that such Holders may participate in each such PubCo Offer without being required to Exchange Paired Interests.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Holders of Paired Interests be entitled to receive in such PubCo Offer aggregate consideration for each Paired Interest that is greater than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock in connection with a PubCo Offer (it being understood that payments under or in respect of the Tax Receivable Agreement shall not be considered part of any such consideration).

Section 2.05  Listing of Deliverable Common Stock.  If the Class A Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, PubCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange to be listed on the same national securities exchange upon which the outstanding Class A Common Stock may be listed or traded at the time of such issuance.

Section 2.06  Deliverable Common Stock to be Issued; Class B Common Stock to be Cancelled.

(a)   PubCo shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, the maximum number of shares of Deliverable Common Stock as shall be deliverable upon Exchange of all then-outstanding Paired Interests; provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude PubCo or the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of an Exchange by delivery of shares of Deliverable Common Stock that are held in the treasury of PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or by delivery of purchased shares of Deliverable Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of PubCo or any subsidiary thereof).  PubCo and the Company represent, warrant and covenant that all shares of Deliverable Common Stock issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b)   When a Paired Interest has been Exchanged in accordance with this Agreement, (i) the share of Class B Common Stock constituting a component of such Paired Interest shall be cancelled by PubCo and the Company and (ii) the Unit constituting a component of such Paired Interest shall be deemed transferred from the Exchanging Holder to PubCo.

(c)   Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, PubCo and the Company covenant and agree to deliver shares of Deliverable Common Stock, if requested, pursuant to an effective registration statement with respect to any Exchange to the extent that a registration statement is effective and available for such shares with respect to such Exchange.  In the event that any Exchange in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration statement has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the Holders requesting such Exchange, PubCo and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly facilitate such Exchange pursuant to an available exemption from such registration requirements.

(d)   PubCo agrees that it has taken all or will take such steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and to be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions from, or dispositions to, PubCo of equity securities of PubCo (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of PubCo for such purposes that result from the transactions

7

contemplated by this Agreement, by each officer or director of PubCo, including any director by deputization.  The authorizing resolutions shall be approved by either PubCo’s Board or a committee thereof composed solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors (as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) of PubCo.

Section 2.07  Distributions.  No Exchange shall impair the right of the Exchanging Holder to receive any distributions payable on the Units that are to be exchanged in respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Specified Exchange Date for such Exchange.  No adjustments in respect of dividends or distributions on any Unit will be made on the Exchange of any Paired Interest, and if the Specified Exchange Date with respect to a Unit occurs after the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Units but before the date of the payment, then the registered Holder of the Unit at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on the Unit on the payment date notwithstanding the Exchange of the Paired Interests or a default in payment of the dividend or distribution due on the Specified Exchange Date, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Exchanging Holder shall have the right to receive any distributions (including tax distributions) on any exchanged Unit with a record date that occurs from and after any Specified Exchange Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchanging Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of a single record date, distributions or dividends both on Units exchanged by such Holder and on shares of Deliverable Common Stock received by such Holder in such Exchange.

Section 4.04  Binding Effect.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 4.05  Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Jurisdiction.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts located in the State of Delaware or the Delaware Court of Chancery for the purpose of adjudicating any dispute arising hereunder.  Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court any objection to such jurisdiction, whether on the grounds of hardship, inconvenient forum or otherwise.  Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 4.03 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 4.05.

Section 4.06  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 4.07  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and, as applicable, the other Reorganization Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in favor of any Person or other party hereto.

Section 4.08  Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 4.09  Amendment.  This Agreement may only be amended or modified, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time by a written instrument signed by (i) PubCo, (ii) the Company, (iii) the Holders of Units holding a majority of the then outstanding Units of the Company and (iv) A-A Mortgage, to the extent A-A Mortage is then a Holder of Units.  In the event that this Agreement is amended, whether or not the prior written consent of any Holder is required under the foregoing sentence, PubCo or the Company shall provide a copy of such amendment to all Holders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Section 4.09), the execution and delivery of a joinder to this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.01 shall not require the consent of any Holder or any other party hereto and shall not be deemed to be an amendment or modification to this Agreement.

Section 4.10  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 4.11  Tax Treatment.  This Agreement shall be treated as part of the LLC Agreement as described in Section 761(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c).  As required by

10

the Code and the Treasury Regulations, the parties shall report any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale of the Units and shares of Class B Common Stock by a Holder to PubCo, and no party shall take a contrary position on any income tax return or amendment thereof.

Section 4.12  Independent Nature of Holders’ Rights and Obligations.  The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under hereunder.  The decision of each Holder to enter into to this Agreement has been made by such Holder independently of any other Holder.  Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.13  Specific Enforcement.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the remedies at law of the other parties for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, any party to this Agreement, without posting any bond, and in addition to all other remedies that may be available, shall be entitled to equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy that may then be available.
