Section 2.1 Exchange of Exchangeable Units for Class A Common Stock.

(a) The Exchanges.

(i) Elective Exchanges.

(A) Subject to Section 2.1(c), and otherwise upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and of the LLC Agreement, each LLC Unitholder shall have the right at any time and from time to time to surrender Exchangeable Units in at least the Minimum Exchangeable Amount (free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal and similar restrictions, except for those arising under this Agreement, the LLC Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws) to the LLC (or at the Company’s request, the Company) and to thereby cause the LLC or the Company, as applicable, to deliver to that LLC Unitholder (or its designee) the Exchange Consideration as set forth herein (an “Elective Exchange”).

 

5


(B) An LLC Unitholder shall exercise its right to an Elective Exchange by delivering to the LLC, with a contemporaneous copy delivered to the Company, in each case during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the LLC and the Company, respectively, a written election of exchange in respect of the Exchangeable Units to be exchanged substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (an “Elective Exchange Notice”), duly executed by such LLC Unitholder, specifying the number of Exchangeable Units to be exchanged and the applicable Exchange Date, which shall be no earlier than eight (8) Business Days after delivery of the Elective Exchange Notice (the “Elective Exchange Date”).

(C) An LLC Unitholder may specify, in an applicable Elective Exchange Notice, that the Elective Exchange is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the occurrence of any transaction or event, including the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an underwritten offering, change of control transaction or otherwise) of shares of Class A Common Stock or any merger, consolidation or other business combination. The termination of a transaction or event specified in the preceding sentence, prior to the consummation thereof, shall terminate all of the exchanging LLC Unitholder’s, LLC’s and Company’s rights and obligations under this Section 2.1(a)(i) arising from that particular Elective Exchange Notice if it is determined by the electing party that the contingency has not been satisfied, and all actions taken to effect the Elective Exchange contemplated by that Elective Exchange Notice shall be deemed rescinded.

(D) After the Elective Exchange Notice has been delivered to the Company and the LLC, and unless the Company and the LLC have refused to honor the request in full pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i), the Company or the LLC will, within five (5) Business Days of receiving the Elective Exchange Notice, inform the LLC Unitholder of the aggregate amount of the Tax Distribution Repayment to be paid in connection with the Elective Exchange. Upon the LLC Unitholder’s payment of such aggregate Tax Distribution Repayment in cash to the LLC, the Company or LLC will effect the Elective Exchange on the Elective Exchange Date. If such aggregate Tax Distribution Repayment has not been paid on or before two Business Days prior to the Elective Exchange Date, then the Company or LLC shall proceed with effecting the Elective Exchange on the Elective Exchange Date and shall reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the LLC Unitholder by a number of shares equal to such aggregate Tax Distribution Repayment divided by the Cash Exchange Five Day VWAP, rounded up to the next whole share.

(E) An LLC Unitholder may revoke an Elective Exchange Notice for any reason or no reason by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Company at least one Business Day prior to the applicable Exchange being consummated; provided, that no Exchange may be revoked if the total value of such Exchange (i.e., the dollar amount obtained by multiplying the number of Exchangeable Units to be exchanged pursuant to such Elective Exchange Notice by the closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock as of the end of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such revocation notice is delivered) is less than $500,000.

 

6


(ii) Mandatory Exchanges.

(A) Upon the occurrence of any Mandatory Exchange Event the Manager may exercise its right to cause a mandatory exchange of an LLC Unitholder’s Exchangeable Units (a “Mandatory Exchange”) by delivering to the LLC Unitholder a written notice pursuant to the notice provisions of the LLC Agreement (a “Mandatory Exchange Notice”) specifying the basis for the Mandatory Exchange, the Exchangeable Units of the LLC to which the Mandatory Exchange applies, the aggregate Tax Distribution Repayment to be paid in connection with the Mandatory Exchange and the effective date of such Mandatory Exchange (the “Mandatory Exchange Date”), which shall be no earlier than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Mandatory Exchange Notice. After delivery of such Mandatory Exchange Notice, no Elective Exchange Notice may subsequently be delivered. The LLC Unitholder receiving the Mandatory Exchange Notice shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the LLC the Tax Distribution Repayment in cash no later than two Business Days prior to the Mandatory Exchange Date. Upon the Mandatory Exchange Date, unless the Company and the LLC have determined such Mandatory Exchange would be an exchange described in clause (x) or (y) of Section 2.1(b)(i), the Company or LLC will effect the Mandatory Exchange. If the Tax Distribution Repayment has not been paid prior to such two Business Days prior to the Mandatory Exchange Date, then the Company or LLC may proceed with effecting the Mandatory Exchange and shall reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the LLC Unitholder by a number of shares equal to the Tax Distribution Repayment divided by the Cash Exchange Five Day VWAP, rounded up to the next whole share.

(B) The Company shall send written notice to each LLC Unitholder of any proposed Change of Control five (5) days following the execution of a definitive agreement in respect of such Change of Control unless such information on Form 8-K, Schedule TO, Schedule 14D-9 or similar form has been filed with the SEC.

(b) Additional Terms Applying to Exchanges.

(i) An LLC Unitholder shall not be entitled to an Exchange, and the Company and LLC shall have the right to refuse to honor any request for an Exchange, at any time or during any period if the Company or the LLC determines, after consultation with counsel, that such Exchange (x) would be prohibited by law or regulation (including, without limitation, the unavailability of a registration of such Exchange under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements thereof)or (y) would violate any debt agreement or other material contract to which the Company, the LLC or any of their respective subsidiaries is a party.

 

7


(ii) On an Exchange Date, all rights of the exchanging LLC Unitholder as a holder of the Exchangeable Units that are subject to the Exchange shall cease, and such LLC Unitholder (or its designee) shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be received by the exchanging LLC Unitholder in respect of such Exchange.

(c) Exchange Consideration.

(i) Unless the Company elects to settle an Exchange in cash as provided below, on an Exchange Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such LLC Unitholder (or its designee), at the address set forth on the applicable Exchange Notice, certificates representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the applicable Exchange, registered in the name of the relevant exchanging LLC Unitholder (or its designee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation (in lieu of the LLC) to have the Company acquire Exchangeable Units directly from an exchanging LLC Unitholder in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock. If an exchanging LLC Unitholder receives the shares of Class A Common Stock that such LLC Unitholder is entitled to receive from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), the LLC Unitholder shall have no further right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock from the LLC or the Company in connection with that Exchange. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.1(c) to the contrary, to the extent the Class A Common Stock is settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the LLC or the Company will, upon the written instruction of an exchanging LLC Unitholder, deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such exchanging LLC Unitholder through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such exchanging LLC Unitholder in the Exchange Notice. Upon any Exchange, the LLC or the Company, as applicable, shall take such actions as may be required to ensure that such LLC Unitholder receives the shares of Class A Common Stock that such exchanging LLC Unitholder is entitled to receive in connection with such Exchange pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(ii) In lieu of delivering shares of Class A Common Stock as provided in clause (i) immediately above, the LLC may elect to settle an Exchange in cash equal to the Cash Settlement Amount by giving written notice of such election to the LLC Unitholder on or prior to the Business Day that is immediately before the applicable Exchange Date.

(d) Expenses. Subject to any other arrangement or agreement among the LLC and an applicable LLC Unitholder, the Company, the LLC, and each exchanging LLC Unitholder shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated, except that the Company shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Elective Exchange in a name other than that of the LLC Unitholder that requested the Exchange (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such LLC Unitholder) is to be paid to a Person other than the LLC Unitholder that requested the Exchange, then such LLC Unitholder or the Person in whose name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to the Company 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 the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

 

8


(e) Distribution Rights. No Exchange shall impair the right of any LLC Unitholder to receive any distributions payable in respect of (a) Class A Units exchanged pursuant to any Exchange in respect of a record date established by the LLC for the purpose of determining the members of the LLC entitled to receive any distribution from LLC that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange or (b) the Class A Common Stock received pursuant to any Exchange in respect of a dividend or other distribution record date established by the Board of Directors that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange, but following the record date referred to in the foregoing clause (a). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no LLC Unitholder shall be entitled to receive, with respect to distributions or dividends made in respect of such record date established by the LLC, distributions or dividends both on Class A Units exchanged hereunder and on Class A Common Stock received by such LLC Unitholder in such Exchange.

Section 2.2 Adjustment. To the extent not reflected in an adjustment to the Exchange Rate, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed or exchanged into or for another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, an exchanging LLC Unitholder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such exchanging LLC Unitholder 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, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, 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 or exchanged into or for another security, securities or other property, this Section 2.2 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property. This Section 2.2 is intended to preserve the intended economic effect of this Article II and to put each LLC Unitholder in the same economic position, to the greatest extent possible, with respect to Exchanges as if such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction had not occurred and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

Section 2.3 Class A Common Stock to be Issued.

(a) Class A Common Stock Reserve. The Company 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, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be deliverable under this Agreement upon all such Exchanges; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of any such Exchange by delivery of unencumbered shares of Class A Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

 

9


(b) Validity of Class A Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and shall be transferred free and clear of any liens and not subject to any preemptive right of stockholders of the Company or to any right of first refusal or other right in favor of any Person.

Section 2.4 Withholding.

(a) Withholding of Class A Common Stock Permitted. If the Company or the LLC shall be required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local or foreign tax laws or regulations in respect of any Exchange, the Company or the LLC, as the case may be, shall be entitled to take such action as it deems appropriate in order to ensure compliance with such withholding requirements, including, at its option, withholding shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the amount of any taxes that the Company or the LLC, as the case may be, may be required to withhold with respect to such Exchange. To the extent that amounts are (or property is) so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts (or property) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid (or delivered) to the applicable LLC Unitholder.

(b) Notice of Withholding. If the Company or the LLC determines that any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local or foreign tax laws or regulations are required to be withheld in respect of any Exchange, the Company or the LLC, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the exchanging LLC Unitholder and shall consider in good faith any theories, positions or alternative arrangements that such LLC Unitholder raises (reasonably in advance of the date on which the Company or the LLC believes withholding is required) as to why withholding is not required or that may avoid the need for such withholding, provided, that none of the Company or the LLC is required to incur additional costs as a result of such obligation and this Section 2.4(b) shall not in any manner limit the authority of the Company or the LLC to withhold taxes with respect to an exchanging LLC Unitholder pursuant to Section 2.4(a).

Section 2.5 Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that an Exchange with the Company shall be treated as a direct exchange between the Company and the LLC Unitholder for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. The parties hereto intend to treat any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable exchange for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the exchanging LLC Unitholder and the Company or required by applicable law.

Section 2.6 Contribution of the Company. In connection with any Exchange between an LLC Unitholder and the LLC (other than in connection with a cash Exchange effected pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii)), the Company shall contribute to P10 Holdings who in turn shall contribute to the LLC the shares of Class A Common Stock the LLC Unitholder is entitled to receive in such Exchange. On the Exchange Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Exchange Date), if applicable, the Company shall contribute to P10 Holdings any Class A Units that it receives from the LLC Unitholder in the Exchange, and such Class A Units shall automatically convert into Class B Units by operation of the LLC Agreement.

Section 2.7 Conclusive Nature of Determinations. All determinations, interpretations, calculations, adjustments and other actions of the LLC, the Company, the Board of Directors (or a committee to which the Board of Directors has delegated such authority), the Manager or a designee of any of the foregoing that are within such Person’s authority hereunder and that are made in good faith and consistent with the terms of this Agreement shall be binding and conclusive on an LLC Unitholder absent manifest error.

Each Restricted Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes such Restricted Stockholder, during the Restricted Period with respect to the applicable Class A Common Stock, from engaging in any hedging or other transactions designed or intended to result in the sale or disposition of such Class A Common Stock, even if any such sale or disposition transaction or transactions would be made or executed by or on behalf of someone other than such Restricted Stockholder.

Section 4.4 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the LLC Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes all prior agreements or arrangements (written and oral), including any prior representation, statement, condition or warranty between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 4.5 Applicable Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree that all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule, notwithstanding that public policy in Delaware or any other forum jurisdiction might indicate that the laws of that or any other jurisdiction should otherwise apply based on contacts with such state or otherwise.

(b) Venue. Each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, if (but only if) such court lacks jurisdiction, any state or federal court of the State of Delaware) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined solely and exclusively in such court and the appellate courts therefrom. Each party hereto also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court other than as aforesaid. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other party hereto with respect thereto. The parties hereto each agree that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which it is subject by a suit upon such judgment.

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.5.

Section 4.6 References to this Agreement; Headings. Unless otherwise indicated, “Sections,” “clauses” and “Exhibits” mean and refer to designated Sections, clauses, and Exhibits of this Agreement. Words such as “herein,” “hereby,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,” “hereto,” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole, unless the context indicates otherwise. All headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to define or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement. All exhibits and schedules referred to herein, and as the same may be amended from time to time, are by this reference made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein.

Section 4.7 Binding Provisions. This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective personal and legal representatives, heirs, executors, successors and Permitted Transferees.

Section 4.8 Construction. Common nouns and pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the Person, Persons or other reference in the context requires. Every covenant, term and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party hereto. Any reference to any statute, law, or regulation, form or schedule shall include any amendments, modifications, or replacements thereof. Any reference to any agreement, contract or schedule, unless otherwise stated, shall include any amendments, modifications, or replacements thereof. Whenever used herein, “or” shall include both the conjunctive and disjunctive unless the context requires otherwise, “any” shall mean “one or more,” and “including” shall mean “including, without limitation.”

Section 4.9 Severability. It is expressly understood and agreed that if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any party or circumstance shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any party or circumstance other than those to which it is so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law so long as the economic or legal substance of the matters contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares or finds that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or portion of the term or provision, or to delete specific words or phrases, and to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If such court of competent jurisdiction does not so replace an invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the matters contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Section 4.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts and delivered via facsimile or .pdf, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document. The signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart.

 

17


Section 4.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each LLC Unitholder on the date hereof is expected to become a party to this Agreement. Each of their Permitted Transferees and each Person who is or becomes an LLC Unitholder may become a party hereto, subject to their execution and delivery to the LLC and the Company of an executed joinder to this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the LLC and the Company. This Agreement is not otherwise intended to, and does not, provide or create any rights or benefits in any Person.

Section 4.12 Mutual Drafting. The parties hereto are sophisticated and have been advised by attorneys throughout the transactions contemplated hereby who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not intend that the presumptions of laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to this Agreement or any agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith, and therefore waive their effects.

Section 4.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive the right to use any or all other remedies. Such rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.

Section 4.14 Amendment. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing approved by the affirmative vote or written or electronic consent of each of (a) the Company, (b) the LLC, and (c) the LLC Unitholders holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Units as of the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); provided, that no amendment may adversely affect the rights of an LLC Unitholder to effect an Elective Exchange pursuant to Article II hereof without the consent of such affected LLC Unitholder.

Section 4.15 Specific Performance. The parties recognize that irreparable injury will result from a breach of any provision of this Agreement and that money damages would be inadequate to fully remedy the injury. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, any party that may be injured (in addition to any other remedies that may be available to that party) shall be entitled (without the need to post any bond, surety, or other security) to one or more preliminary or permanent orders (a) restraining and enjoining any act that would constitute a breach or (b) compelling the performance of any obligation that, if not performed, would constitute a breach.

 

18


Section 4.16 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, or failure to perform, the obligations of any other LLC Unitholder hereunder. The decision of each LLC Unitholder to enter into 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 an LLC, 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 and the Company acknowledges that the LLC Unitholders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company will not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.
