(iii)    Exchange of Pre-Reorganization Subsidiary LLC Member Units.

6






Exchanged Interest(s) therein pursuant to the applicable Exchange Agreement(s), the Company shall (and, if necessary, shall cause its Subsidiaries to) enter into an Assignment Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Assignment Agreement”) in order to contribute and assign the entire Exchanged Interest to the Subsidiary that, immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, directly owned such Roll-Up Subsidiary, so that the Roll-Up Subsidiary, immediately after the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, is 100% directly owned by such Subsidiary.
Section 2.2    Consent to Reorganization Transactions; Power of Attorney
(a)    Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents to all of the Reorganization Transactions. Each of the parties hereto shall take all action necessary or appropriate in order to effect, or cause to be effected, to the extent within its control, each of the Reorganization Transactions; provided, that nothing herein requires Pubco or the Company to consummate the IPO.
(b)    Each Post-IPO LLC Member shall deliver to the Company or Pubco, as the case may be, promptly upon request (and in any event prior to the IPO Closing Date), duly executed versions of each of the Reorganization Documents to which it is a party, together with any other documents and instruments reasonably requested by either the Company or Pubco to be executed and delivered in connection with the Reorganization Transactions. If a Post-IPO LLC Member fails to take any action required by this Agreement after reasonable notice thereof, the Post-IPO LLC Member agrees that such action may be taken by the Attorneys appointed under Section 2.2(c).
(c)    In connection with the foregoing, each Post-IPO LLC Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints L. Lowry Baldwin, Trevor L. Baldwin and Kristopher A. Wiebeck as attorneys-in-fact (individually, an “Attorney” and collectively, the “Attorneys”) of the Post-IPO LLC Member, each with full power and authority to act together or alone, including full power of substitution, in the name of and for and on behalf of the Post-IPO LLC Member with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Reorganization Transactions, including the power and authority to execute and deliver each Reorganization Document on behalf of such Post-IPO LLC Member and to take any and all actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing, including endorsing (in blank or otherwise) on behalf of such Post-IPO LLC Member any certificate or certificates representing LLC Units to be transferred by such Post-IPO LLC Member, or a stock power or powers attached to such certificate or certificates and taking any other action that the Attorneys, or any one of them, in their or his or her sole discretion may consider necessary or proper in connection with or to carry out the Reorganization Transactions, as fully as could such Post-IPO LLC Member if personally present and acting. This power of attorney and all authority conferred hereby are granted and conferred subject to the interests of Pubco and in consideration of those interests, and for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Documents. This power of attorney and all authority conferred hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by a Post-IPO LLC Member or by operation of law, whether by the dissolution or liquidation of any corporation, limited liability company or partnership, or by the occurrence of any other event. If any event described in the preceding sentence

7






shall occur before the completion of the Reorganization Transactions, then action taken by the Attorneys, or any one of them, pursuant to this power of attorney shall be as valid as if such event had not occurred, whether or not the Attorneys, or any one of them, shall have received notice of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated under Section 2.3, then from and after such date the Post-IPO LLC Member shall have the power to revoke all authority hereby conferred by giving notice on or promptly after such date to each of the Attorneys that this power of attorney has been terminated; subject, however, to all lawful action done or performed by the Attorneys or any one of them pursuant to this power of attorney prior to the actual receipt of such notice; and provided that any such revocation or termination shall not revoke the power of the Attorneys to take actions in connection with Section 2.3(b). Each Post-IPO LLC Member agrees to hold the Attorneys free and harmless from any and all loss, damage or liability that they, or either one of them, may sustain as a result of any action taken in good faith hereunder. It is understood that the Attorneys shall serve without compensation. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent there is any conflict between the power of attorney set forth in this Section 2.2(c) and the power of attorney set forth in any other agreement between the Company and any Post-IPO LLC Member, such other agreement shall prevail.
Section 2.3    No Liabilities in Event of Termination; Certain Covenants.
(a)    In the event that (i) the IPO is abandoned by Pubco or (ii) the IPO Closing Date does not occur by the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of this Agreement, then (A) this Agreement and the other Reorganization Documents shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect except for this Section 2.3, Section 2.2(c) and Article 4 and (B) there shall be no liability on the part of any of the parties hereto, except termination will not relieve any party hereto from liability for any breach of this Agreement or a Reorganization Document prior to the date of such termination in which case any and all remedies available to the other parties either in law or equity shall be preserved and survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason after the consummation of any Reorganization Transaction, the parties agree, as applicable, to cooperate and work in good faith to execute and deliver such agreements and consents and amend such documents and to effect such transactions or actions as may be necessary to re-establish the rights, preferences and privileges that the parties hereto had prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, or any part thereof, including voting any and all securities owned by such party in favor of any amendment to any organizational document and in favor of any transaction or action necessary to re-establish such rights, powers and privileges and causing to be filed all necessary documents with any governmental authority necessary to reestablish such rights, preferences and privileges, in each case as reasonably directed by the Company. If a Post-IPO LLC Member fails to take any action required by this Section 2.3(b) after reasonable notice thereof, the Post-IPO LLC Member agrees that such action may be taken by the Attorneys appointed under Section 2.2(c) (and such provision for this purpose shall survive termination of this Agreement).
(c)     For the avoidance of doubt, each party acknowledges and agrees that until the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions: (i) each Post-IPO LLC Member shall continue to own the capital stock or equity interests of the Company and/or Roll-Up Subsidiary, as

8






the case may be, that it owns prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, in each case subject to all of the existing agreements, restrictions and obligations to which the Post-IPO LLC Member is a party or otherwise bound, and (ii) the rights of the parties hereto under the Second Amended and Restated LLC Agreement, the Roll-Up Subsidiary Governing Documents and any other agreements governing capital stock or equity interests of the Company or any Roll-Up Subsidiary shall not be affected, and all such agreements shall remain in full force and effect and unmodified.
(d)    Each Post-IPO LLC Member acknowledges and agrees that none of Pubco, the Company or any other party hereto shall be required to disclose any of the following information to the Post-IPO LLC Member, and may redact this information from any copy of a Reorganization Document provided to the Post-IPO LLC Member: (i) the identity of the Pre-Reorganization Subsidiary LLC Members, (ii) the valuation of the Company’s Subsidiaries used in consummating the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreements, except for the Roll-Up Subsidiary (if any) of which the Post-IPO LLC Member was an owner at the time of the Reorganization Transactions, or (ii) the number of LLC Units and shares of Class B Common Stock acquired by another Post-IPO LLC Member in the Reorganization Transactions, in each case except for any such information that is made publicly available by Pubco or the Company, or is required to be made publicly available under applicable law, in connection with the IPO.
