The Company shall have the
- 1 -
power to engage in any business not forbidden by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Company engages in that business.
Section 1.5.Foreign Qualification. Prior to the Company’s conducting business in any jurisdiction, other than Delaware, to the extent that the nature of the business conducted requires the Company to qualify as a foreign limited liability company under the law of that jurisdiction, the Company shall satisfy all requirements necessary to so qualify. At the request of the Company, each Member shall execute, acknowledge, swear to, and deliver all certificates and other instruments conforming with this Agreement that are necessary or appropriate to qualify, continue, and terminate the Company as a foreign limited liability company in all such jurisdictions in which the Company may conduct business.

UNITS
UNITS
Section 2.1.Units; Class and Series. The Membership Interests of the Company shall be issued in whole or fractional unit increments (each, a “Unit”). From time to time, the Company may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.6 and Section 5.11, issue such Units as the Board determines for such consideration as the Board approves. Units may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, with such designations, preferences, and rights as are set forth in Section 2.2 or otherwise as shall be fixed by the Board by resolution thereof. The Board, in so fixing the designations, rights, and preferences of any class or series of Units, may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, designate such Units as “Preferred Units”, “Common Units”, or any other designation and may specify such Units to be senior, junior, or pari passu with any Units then outstanding or to be issued thereafter and the voting rights of such Units. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board may increase the number of authorized Units in any then-existing class or series. Upon due authorization of such issuances, the Board is hereby authorized, subject to this Agreement, to take all actions that it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the authorization (including the increase in number of authorized Units of any class or series), designation, creation, and issuance of Units and the fixing of the designations, preferences, and rights applicable thereto, and designations, preferences, and rights of any new class or series of Units relative to the designations, preferences, and rights governing
- 2 -
any other series or classes of Units, including through the amendment of this Agreement to provide for such Units. Ownership of Units may, but need not, be evidenced by certificates similar to customary stock certificates. Initially, Units shall be uncertificated, but the Board may determine to certificate all or any Units at any time by resolution thereof.
Section 2.2.Unit Designations; Effective Date Issuances.
(a)A class of Units has been created and designated as “Preferred Units”. Subject to Section 5.11, the Company is authorized to issue as many Preferred Units as the Board approves from time to time, and any Preferred Units issued in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly authorized and validly issued. Each Preferred Unit shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into one Common Unit (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any unit dividend, unit split, combination or other similar recapitalization). The holders of a majority of the Preferred Units, upon written notice to the Company, may elect to require all (but not less than all) outstanding Preferred Units to be converted into Common Units. In order for a holder of a Preferred Unit to voluntarily convert Preferred Units into Common Units, such holder shall (a) provide written notice to the Company that such holder elects to convert all or any number of such holder’s Preferred Units and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent and (b) if such holder’s Preferred Units are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Units (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate). The close of business on the date of receipt by the Company of such notice and, if applicable, certificates shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred Units, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of Common Units issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate (if any) for the number (if any) of Preferred Units represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Units. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Units, if applicable, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Preferred Units, such number of its Common Units as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Units, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Units shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Preferred Units, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Units, the Company will take such action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Units to such number of Common Units as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including engaging in commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite Member approval of any necessary amendment to this Agreement.
(b)A class of Units has been created and designated as “Common Units”. Subject to Section 5.11, the Company is authorized to issue as many Common Units as the Board approves from time to time, and any Common Units issued in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly authorized and validly issued.
Section 2.3.Voting Rights. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or the resolution of the Board creating any class or series of Voting Units, all classes and series of Voting Units shall vote
- 3 -
together as a single class on all matters. Each Common Unit that is a Voting Unit shall be entitled to one vote per Unit, and each Preferred Unit that is a Voting Unit shall vote together with the Common Units that are Voting Units on an as-converted basis.
Section 2.4.Admission of Members. The name of each Member, and the respective Units of each Member, as of the Effective Date, are set forth on Schedule 1. When any Unit is issued, redeemed, forfeited, cancelled or Transferred in accordance with this Agreement, Schedule 1 attached hereto shall be promptly amended to reflect such issuance, redemption, forfeiture, cancellation or Transfer, the admission of Additional Members or Substitute Members and a copy of such amended Schedule 1 shall be delivered to each of the Investor Members. Following the Effective Date, no Person shall be admitted as a Member and no additional Membership Interests shall be issued except as expressly provided herein.
Section 2.5.Substitute Members and Additional Members. No Transferee of any Units or Person to whom any Unit is issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be admitted as a Member hereunder or acquire any rights hereunder, including any right to receive distributions and allocations in respect of the Transferred or issued Unit, as applicable, unless such Person executes a Joinder Agreement pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof and such Unit is otherwise Transferred or issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (including ARTICLE VII). Upon complying with the immediately preceding sentence, without the need for any further action of any Person, a Transferee or recipient shall be deemed admitted to the Company as a Member. As promptly as practicable after the admission of any Person as a Member, the books and records of the Company shall be changed to reflect the admission of such Substitute Member or Additional Member.
Section 2.6.Preemptive Rights.
(a)If, following the Effective Date, the Board or the Anywhere Member determines in good faith that additional capital is required for the operation of the Company, whether by additional Capital Contributions or the issuance of New Securities (as defined below), the Company shall, subject to the remaining provisions in this Section 2.6, be entitled to propose to issue (i) additional Units, (ii) any other equity security of the Company, (iii) any debt security of the Company that by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security of the Company or (iv) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any security of the Company specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) (clauses (i) through (iv), collectively “New Securities”), in each case, having been approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.6 with respect to the issuance of any Exempted Units. In such event, the Company shall provide written notice to each Investor Member of such anticipated issuance no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the anticipated issuance date. Such notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the issuance, including (A) the type of each New Security, (B) the proposed purchase price for the New Securities, (C) the anticipated amount of such New Securities (including the maximum amount of such New Securities available for purchase or subscription by the applicable Investor Member), (D) the identity of the proposed purchaser(s), (E) the anticipated issuance date, (F) a reasonably detailed summary of the rights and obligations of such New Securities, and (G) any other material terms and conditions. Each Investor Member, upon delivery of written notice thereof to the Company no later than five Business Days before the anticipated issuance date (an “Election Notice”), shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to its pro rata portion based on the aggregate number of Common Units held by each such Investor Member (including, in the case of the holders of Preferred Units, all such Common Units as would be held by such holders if all Preferred Units were converted to Common Units pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(a)) at the same
- 4 -
price (including any underwriting discounts or sales commissions), on the same terms and conditions (including, (x) if more than one type of New Security is issued, each type of New Security in the same proportion offered and (y) to the extent such New Securities are offered for consideration (or the exercise price of which is to be paid in consideration) other than cash, the cash equivalent thereof) and at the same time as the New Securities are proposed to be issued by the Company; provided that an Investor Member’s written election to purchase New Securities set forth in an Election Notice shall be irrevocable. Such Election Notice shall also include the maximum number of New Securities the applicable Investor Member would be willing to purchase in the event any other Investor Member elects to purchase less than its pro rata portion of such New Securities. If any Investor Member elects not to purchase its full pro rata portion of such New Securities, the Company shall allocate any remaining New Securities among those Investor Members (pro rata in accordance with the aggregate number of Common Units then held by each such Investor Member (including, in the case of the holders of Preferred Units, all such Common Units as would be held by such holders if all Preferred Units were converted to Common Units pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(a))) electing to purchase New Securities in excess of their respective full pro rata portion of such New Securities.
(b)In the event Investor Members do not purchase all such New Securities in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(a), the Company shall have 90 days (or, if such issuance is subject to regulatory approval, 180 days) after the expiration of the anticipated issuance date to sell to other Persons the remaining New Securities at a price no less than that offered to each Investor Member, and otherwise upon terms and conditions no more favorable in the aggregate to the purchasers of such New Securities than were specified in the Company’s notice to the Investor Members pursuant to Section 2.6(a). If the Company fails to sell such New Securities within 90 days (or, if such issuance is subject to regulatory approval, 180 days) after the expiration of the anticipated issuance date provided in the notice given to Investor Members pursuant to Section 2.6(a), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Investor Members in the manner provided in Section 2.6(a).
(c)In connection with the issuance and sale of New Securities subscribed for by the Investor Members pursuant to the preemptive rights provisions of this Section 2.6, the Board may, in its sole and reasonable discretion, impose such other reasonable and customary terms and procedures, such as setting a closing date and rounding the number of the New Securities to be issued to any subscriber to the nearest whole number. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, the Company may terminate an offering of New Securities at any time prior to the closing of such offering, whereupon the Company shall have no obligation or liability to any Investor Member, even if such Investor Member had elected previously to participate in such offering. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall provide written notice thereof to the Investor Members and (ii) the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Investor Members in the manner provided in Section 2.6(a).
(d)The election by an Investor Member not to exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 2.6 in any one instance shall not affect its right (other than in respect of a reduction in its percentage holdings) as to any future issuances under this Section 2.6. Any sale of New Securities by the Company without first giving the Investor Members the rights described in this Section 2.6 shall be void and of no force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, in the event the Board reasonably determines in good faith that time is of the essence in completing any issuance of New Securities, the Company may proceed to complete such issuance without first complying with this Section 2.6 so long as (i) the Company complies with the notice requirements of Section 2.6(a)
- 5 -
no later than 10 Business Days following such issuance, and (ii) provision is made in such issuance such that within 30 days following the consummation of such issuance, either (x) the purchaser(s) of the New Securities will be obligated to transfer that portion of such New Securities to any Investor Member properly electing to participate in such issuance pursuant to this Section 2.6 or (y) the Company shall issue an incremental amount of such New Securities to those Investor Members properly electing to participate in such issuance pursuant to this Section 2.6, in each case of (x) and (y), so that, taking into account such previously-issued New Securities and any such additional New Securities, as applicable, each Investor Member properly electing to participate in such issuance pursuant to this Section 2.6 will have had the right to purchase or subscribe for New Securities in a manner consistent with the allocation and upon the same economic and other terms provided for in this Section 2.6 as if the Company first complied with the procedures of this Section 2.6, so as to achieve the same economic effect and percentage ownership position as if such offer would have been made prior to such transfer or issuance.
(e)As a condition to the issuance of any New Securities to an Investor Member pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Investor Member shall be required to execute (i) a subscription agreement containing customary representations, warranties, and covenants (including a representation that such Investor Member is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act), (ii) a Joinder Agreement pursuant to Section 7.5 herein and (iii) such other agreements, documents, and undertakings as the Board may reasonably request.
(f)The Company shall not issue New Securities unless the Board has reasonably determined in good faith that the consideration acquired in exchange therefor, whether in the form of cash or otherwise (in whole or in part), is the fair value of such New Securities.

CONTRIBUTIONS BY MEMBERS
Section 3.1.Initial Capital Contributions. The Members have made, on or prior to the Effective Date, Capital Contributions and, in exchange, the Company has issued to the applicable Members the number of Preferred Units and Common Units set forth adjacent to the applicable Member’s name on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Capital Contributions”). The Board shall cause the books and records of the Company to be amended from time to time, without the consent of any Member or any other Person, to reflect any issuance, Transfer, or forfeiture of Units.
Section 3.2.Intended Tax Treatment. The Members agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transfer by the Anywhere Member of the Assigned Assets (as defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated April 1, 2025, between Anywhere Member and the Company) to the Company, together with the purchase by TRG Member of the Purchased Units (as defined in the TRG Company Subscription Agreement), shall be treated in a manner consistent with the formation of the Company as a new partnership in accordance with Rev. Rul. 99-5, 1999-1 CB 434, Situation 1. More specifically, TRG Member is treated as purchasing an undivided interest in each of the Company’s assets directly from Anywhere Member and, immediately thereafter, TRG Member and Anywhere Member are treated as contributing their respective undivided interests in those assets to the Company, a newly formed partnership, in exchange for ownership interests in the Company. No party hereto shall take any position inconsistent with the foregoing tax treatment characterizations unless otherwise required by a final “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code).

Subject to Section 4.2, (x) except in the event of a Sale Transaction or Liquidation or (y) unless otherwise determined by the Board (including the approval of the TRG Designee), if the Company’s net income in the trailing 12-month period was negative, (i) promptly, but in any event within 45 days, following June 30th and December 31st of each Fiscal Year, the Board shall determine the amount of Available Cash and other property to be distributed to the Members (such Available Cash and other property to be distributed, the “Distributable Property”) and (ii) promptly following such determination, the Board shall declare distributions of such Distributable Property and such distributions shall be made to the holders of Preferred Units and Common Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Preferred Units and Common Units held by each of them (as adjusted for any unit splits, unit dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations and the like) with each such Unit being treated as a single class for these purposes.
(b)Distributions in connection with Sale Transaction or Liquidation. Subject to ARTICLE IX in connection with a Liquidation Event or Section 7.2 in connection with a Sale Transaction, in the event of any Sale Transaction or Liquidation Event, all net proceeds received by the Company shall be distributed, with such proceeds and distribution thereof giving effect to, and taking into account, any rollover, shares continuing to be held by the holders of Preferred Units or Common Units or similar result by crediting the value of such rollover or shares as consideration received by such holders, by or on behalf of the Company as promptly as practicable following such Sale Transaction or Liquidation Event, as applicable, to the Members in accordance with this Section 4.1(b), which, subject to applicable law, shall be distributed:
(i)First, 100% to the holders of Preferred Units, pro rata in accordance with the number of Preferred Units held by each of them, in an amount equal to the greater of (A) such holders’ aggregate Capital Contribution and (B) the amount such holders would have received had they converted their Preferred Units into Common Units immediately prior to the applicable Sale Transaction or Liquidation; and
(ii)Second, 100% to the holders of Common Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Common Units held by each of them on an as-converted basis (as adjusted for any unit splits, unit dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations and the like), with each such Unit being treated as a single class for these purposes; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Common Units received upon conversion of Preferred Units shall be eligible to receive proceeds under this clause (ii) to the extent such Preferred Units received payments in clause (i) above.
(c)The Board of Managers may, it its sole discretion, make adjustments to the distributions made pursuant to this ARTICLE IV to give effect to the economic interests of the Members in the Company.

Section 4.2.Tax Distributions. To the extent there is Available Cash, and subject to the restrictions of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ then-applicable debt financing agreements (the “Applicable Restrictions”), at least five days before each date prescribed by the Code for a calendar year corporation to pay quarterly installments of estimated tax, the Company shall distribute to each Member an amount of cash specified in the immediately succeeding sentence (each such distribution, a “Tax Distribution”). With respect to each Member, the amount of such Tax Distribution that it is entitled to under this Section 4.2 (subject to the Applicable Restrictions) shall be equal to the product of (a) the highest combined marginal U.S. federal and applicable state and/or local statutory tax rate applicable to a corporation doing business in New York City, New York, including pursuant to Section 1411 of the Code (the “Assumed Tax Rate”), in each case taking into account all jurisdictions in which the Company is required to file income tax returns and the relevant apportionment information, in effect for the applicable calendar quarter (making an appropriate adjustment for any rate changes that take place during such period and taking into account the character of the income) and (b) the net taxable income (which shall include gross or net income allocations of items of Profit or Loss and guaranteed payments for the use of capital) allocated to such Member for the calendar quarter to which the Tax Distribution relates, in each case as determined in good faith by the Board. Tax Distributions made to a Member shall constitute an advance on distributions to be made to such Member pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.1(b), as applicable. If, at any time after the final Tax Distribution has been distributed pursuant to the previous sentence with respect to any tax year, the aggregate Tax Distributions made to any Member with respect to such tax year are less than the amount of Tax Distributions that such Member would have been entitled to receive under this Section 4.2, calculated on the basis of the entire tax year as a whole (a “Shortfall Amount”), then the Company shall (subject to the Applicable Restrictions) distribute cash to the Members in proportion to and to the extent of each Member’s respective Shortfall Amount for such tax year before the 75th day of the next succeeding tax year. For the avoidance of doubt, no Member shall be entitled to a distribution pursuant to this Section 4.2 in connection with any income recognized by any Member with respect to the issuance or vesting of such Member’s Units. In the event of a Sale Transaction or a sale of assets by the Company outside the ordinary course of business that involves a full or partial liquidity event for Members, the Board may determine whether a Tax Distribution should be made with respect to taxable income or gain recognized in connection with such event. The Board may also modify the application of this Section 4.2 to take into account issues raised by non-U.S. taxes and issues raised by the alternative minimum tax, U.S. withholding taxes, and composite state tax returns in a manner consistent with the intent hereof.
Section 4.3.Distributions of Capital. Except as expressly provided herein, no Member shall (a) receive any recoupment or payment on account of or with respect to the Capital Contributions made by it pursuant to this Agreement, (b) be entitled to interest on or with respect to any Capital Contribution, (c) be entitled to withdraw any part of such Member’s Capital Contributions or (d) be entitled to receive any distributions from the Company.
Section 4.4.Withholding Taxes with Respect to Members. The Company shall comply with any withholding requirements under Federal, state, and local law (taking into account any available exemptions, including exemptions based on IRS form W-9 and/or other appropriate IRS forms provided by the Members) and shall remit any amounts withheld to, and file required forms with, the applicable jurisdictions. All amounts withheld from Company revenues or distributions by or for the Company pursuant to the Code or any provision of any Federal, state, or local law, and any taxes, fees or assessments levied upon the Company, shall be treated for purposes of this ARTICLE IV as having been distributed to those Members whose identity or status caused the withholding obligations, taxes, fees, or assessments to be incurred. If the amount withheld was not withheld from the affected Member’s actual
- 8 -
share of cash available for distribution, the Board, on behalf of the Company, may, at their option, (a) require such Member to reimburse the Company for such withholding or (b) reduce any subsequent distributions to which such Member is entitled by the amount of such withholding. Each Member agrees to promptly furnish the Company with such representations and forms as the Board shall reasonably request to assist the Board in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, the Company’s withholding obligations, if any. As soon as practicable after the Board becomes aware that any withholding requirements may apply to a Member, the Board shall advise the Member of such requirements and the anticipated effects thereof. Such Member shall pay or reimburse to the Board and the Company all identifiable costs or expenses (including but not limited to taxes, interest, penalties, or additions to tax and any related professional fees) caused by or resulting from withholding tax requirements applicable with respect to such Member. For purposes of this Section 4.4, estimated taxes required under applicable law to be paid by the Company with respect to income allocated or distributions made to a Member shall be treated as withholding taxes with respect to that Member. The provisions under this Section 4.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the dissolution of the Company.
Section 4.5.Limitation On Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of its Units if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law.
Section 4.6.Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any Member, any amounts such Member owes the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, as determined by the Board, may be deducted from such sum before payment, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(j)Subsidiary Governance. The Company and each Member acknowledge that the Company may from time to time form or acquire Subsidiaries. Unless otherwise determined by the Board (including the approval of the TRG Designee), the Company’s governance arrangements and rules as set out in this Agreement, including in this ARTICLE V, shall apply mutatis mutandis to the governance arrangements and rules pertaining to any current or future Subsidiaries, including the composition, quorum, and voting provisions of the governing body (and each committee thereof) of each such Subsidiary.
Section 5.2.Meetings of the Members.

No matter shall require the approval of any separate class of Units, except to the extent required by mandatory, non-waivable provisions of the Delaware Act. The Members present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of sufficient Members to destroy the quorum.
(c)Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the Members for the election of Managers to succeed those Managers serving on the Board whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be considered at the meeting may be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting; provided that, until such time as a meeting of Members shall be called in accordance with this Section 5.2(c), the Managers shall continue to serve until their resignation or removal in accordance with Section 5.1.

For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to consent to any matter, or entitled to exercise any rights in connection with any change, conversion, or exchange of Units, or for the purpose of
- 12 -
any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing such record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of such meeting is given or, if notice is waived in accordance with this Agreement, the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting of Members is held.

If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining Members entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company by delivery to its registered office, to its principal place of business, or to an Officer of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Members are recorded.

Section 5.3.Provisions Applicable to All Meetings. In connection with any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof or any meeting of the Members, the following provisions shall apply:
(a)Waiver of Notice Through Attendance. Attendance of a Person at such meeting (including attendance by telephone pursuant to Section 5.3(d)) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such Person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
(b)Proxies. A Manager or committee member may vote at a Board or committee meeting by a written proxy executed by that Person and delivered to another Manager or committee member. A Member entitled to vote at a Members meeting may vote at a Members meeting by a written proxy executed by that Person and delivered to the Secretary. A proxy shall be revocable unless it is stated to be irrevocable.
(c)Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at such a meeting may be taken without a meeting and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action or actions so taken, is signed by such Managers or members of a committee of the Board or the Members, as applicable, required to constitute a quorum and carry the vote at any duly convened meeting thereof; provided that any proposed resolutions for a written consent shall be substantially simultaneously provided to all Managers, members of a committee of the Board or the Members, as applicable.
(d)Meetings by Telephone. Managers, members of any committee of the Board, or the Members, as applicable, may participate in and hold any meeting by means of conference telephone, video conference, or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and the votes of any Managers, members of any committee of the Board,
- 13 -
or the Members, as applicable, participating by conference telephone, video conference, or similar communications equipment shall be given full effect.
Section 5.4.Officers. The Board may appoint certain agents of the Company to be referred to as “officers” of the Company (“Officers”) and designate such titles (such as Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer) as are customary for corporations under Delaware law, and such Officers shall have the power, authority, and duties described by resolution of the Board or as is customary for each such position. In addition to or in lieu of Officers, the Board may authorize any person to take any action or perform any duties on behalf of the Company (including any action or duty reserved to any particular Officer) and any such person may be referred to as an “authorized person.” An employee or other agent of the Company shall not be an authorized person, unless specifically appointed as such by the Board. Duly elected and designated Officers shall have primary responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company, subject to oversight by the Board. Without limiting anything contained herein, the Officers shall provide the Board with information, and shall consult with the Board as the Board may reasonably request, with respect to the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Officers shall provide periodic development and production reports as the Board may reasonably request and full access to all financial information.
Section 5.5.Statement and Agreement Regarding Fiduciary Duties.
(a)General Rule. The Members are sophisticated investors who have willingly chosen to enter into this Agreement to memorialize and reflect their agreements relating to, among other things, the governance of the Company, including the duties that Managers and Controlling Members owe to the Company and the Members. The Members agree that this Agreement and the certificate, and no other agreement, document, instrument, or law, contain the entire agreement among the Company, the Members, and the Managers with respect to the governance of the Company and the duties that Managers and Controlling Members owe to the Company and the Members. Accordingly, with the intent that this Agreement and the contractual obligations set forth herein serve as the sole basis of establishing the governance obligations of the Managers and the Members (including the Controlling Members), the Members and the Company agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, fiduciary duties of Managers and Controlling Members are hereby eliminated and implied covenants and other standards of conduct that are not expressly provided in this Agreement shall not apply and are hereby waived. Without limiting the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, a person, in performing his duties and obligations as a Manager under this Agreement, shall be entitled to act or omit to act at the direction of the Members that designated such person to serve on the Board, considering only such factors, including the separate interests of the Members designating such Manager, as such Manager or Members choose to consider. Any action of a Manager or failure to act, taken or omitted in good faith reliance on the foregoing provisions shall not, as between the Company and the other Members, on the one hand, and the Manager or Members designating such Manager, on the other hand, constitute a breach of any duty (including any fiduciary or other similar duty, to the extent such exists under the Delaware Act or any other applicable law) on the part of such Manager or Members of the Company or any other Manager or Member. Whenever in this Agreement a Manager or Controlling Member is permitted or required to make a decision in such Manager or Controlling Member’s “good faith” or under another express standard, the Manager or Controlling Member, as applicable, shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any additional or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other applicable law. Issuances of securities made in accordance with Section 2.6 shall be deemed not to be a related party transaction regardless of the Members who elect to participate in the particular issuance and, therefore, shall not trigger any duties (such as enhanced fiduciary duties), other than compliance with
- 14 -
the contractual terms of Section 2.6 and the implied duly of good faith and fair dealing that is a part of every Delaware limited liability company agreement.
(b)Corporate Opportunities. Each Manager and each Member shall have the right to have financial interests in, govern, control, provide services to, engage in, and possess interests in other business ventures of every type and description, including those engaged in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company and its Subsidiaries, or deemed to be competing with the Company or its Subsidiaries, on its own account, or in partnership with, or as an employee, manager, officer, director, member, controlling person, equityholder, general or limited partner, or shareholder of any other Person, with no obligation to offer to the Company or any or its Subsidiaries or any other Member the right to participate therein. In the event that any Manager or Member acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate or other business opportunity for the Company, no such Manager and no such Member shall have any duty (fiduciary, contractual, or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Member, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to the Company or any of its respective Subsidiaries or any other Member (or their respective Affiliates) under any theory by reason of the fact that such Manager or any such Member, directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Member. The Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any business opportunity, transaction, or other matter in which any Member participates or desires to participate (each such business opportunity is referred to as a “Renounced Business Opportunity”). The Company acknowledges that such Renounced Business Opportunities may involve transactions or ventures that compete directly with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ business.
(c)Acknowledgment and Waiver. Each Member hereby agrees that (i) the terms of this Section 5.5, to the extent that they eliminate or modify a duty or other obligation that a Manager may have to the Company or any other Member under the Delaware Act or other applicable law, are reasonable in form, scope, and content; and (ii) the terms of this Section 5.5 shall control to the fullest extent possible if it is in conflict with a duty, if any, that a Manager may have to the Company or another Member under the Delaware Act or any other applicable law. Each Member waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, any duty or other obligation, if any, that a Member may have to the Company or another Member, pursuant to the Delaware Act or any other applicable law, to the extent such waiver is necessary to give effect to the terms of this Section 5.5. The Members acknowledge, affirm, and agree that (i) the Members would not be willing to make any investment in the Company, and no person designated by the Members to serve on the Board would be willing to so serve, in the absence of this Section 5.5, and (ii) they have reviewed and understand the provisions of §§18-1101(b) and (c) of the Delaware Act.
Section 5.6.Exculpation. No Manager or Officer in his capacity as such and no Manager or Officer who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, authorized person, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall be liable to the Company or any Member for monetary damages arising from any actions taken, or actions failed to be taken, in his or her capacity as such, except for (a) liability for acts that involve fraud, willful misconduct, or bad faith and (b) liability with respect to any transaction from which such Person derived a personal benefit in violation of this Agreement, in each case described in clauses (a) and (b) preceding, as
- 15 -
determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company or any Member, as applicable, shall bear the burden of establishing a prima facie case that a Manager or Officer breached the standard of care set forth above in this Section 5.6.
Section 5.7.Indemnification of Managers, Officers, Etc. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE V, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that it, or a Person of whom it is the legal representative, is or was a Manager or while an Officer or Manager is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, authorized person, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise shall be, except as permitted below in this Section 5.7, indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, and indemnification under this ARTICLE V shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity that initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.7, a Person shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder if it is determined by a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator that, with respect to the matter for which such Person seeks indemnification, such Person did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, that such Person’s actions constituted fraud, willful misconduct, or bad faith, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that such Person’s compliance with Section 5.5, by itself, will not be deemed to limit such Person’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder. The termination of any action, suit, or Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 5.8.Advance Payment. The right to indemnification conferred to Managers and Officers in this ARTICLE V shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses incurred by a Person entitled to be indemnified under Section 5.7 who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Person of its good faith belief that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this ARTICLE V and a written undertaking, by such Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE V or otherwise.

Section 5.9.Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company, by adoption of a resolution of the Board, may, but shall not be obligated to, indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to the Managers and Officers under this ARTICLE V.
Section 5.10.Nonexclusivity of Rights.
(a)The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE V shall not be exclusive of any other right that an Indemnified Person indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE V may have or hereafter acquire by vote of the Board or otherwise. If an Indemnified Person is indemnified by a Third-Party Indemnitor for a loss covered by Section 5.7 or receives from a Third-Party Indemnitor expense reimbursement or advancement of an expense covered by Section 5.8, such Third-Party Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Person under this ARTICLE V to recover such amount from the Company on the terms of this ARTICLE V. The Company shall not be subrogated to the rights an Indemnified Person may have against a Third-Party Indemnitor. An Indemnified Person is not required to assert any claim for indemnification protection or expense reimbursement or advance against any Third-Party Indemnitor prior to asserting a claim against, or receiving an indemnification or expense reimbursement payment from, the Company.
(b)The Company hereby acknowledges that the Anywhere Designees and the TRG Designees may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and/or insurance provided by the Anywhere Member or the TRG Member and certain of their respective Affiliates, as applicable (collectively, the “Member Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that the Company is the indemnitor and expense advancer of first resort with respect to the Anywhere Designees and the TRG Designees (i.e., its obligations to the Anywhere Designees and the TRG Designees are primary and any obligation of the respective Member Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Anywhere Designees or the TRG Designees, as applicable, is secondary), (ii) that the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Anywhere Designees and the TRG Designees and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement, without regard to any rights an Anywhere Designee or a TRG Designee may have against the applicable Member Indemnitors, as applicable, (iii) that the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes, and releases the Member Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Member Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation, or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof, and (iv) that any Member Indemnitor shall have the right to recover from the Company to the extent that it provides indemnification to any Anywhere Designee or TRG Designee (in lieu of indemnification from the Company). The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Member Indemnitors on behalf of an Anywhere Designee or a TRG Designee with respect to any claim for which such Anywhere Designee or TRG Designee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Member Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Anywhere Designee or TRG Designee against the Company. The Company and each of the Members acknowledge that the Member Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 5.10.

(g)except for the incurrence of amounts payable to the Anywhere Member or applicable Affiliate thereof in connection with the cash sweep processes of the Anywhere Member or such Affiliate thereof, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business and pursuant to the Anywhere Services Agreement, incur, create, or authorize the creation of, or issue, or authorize the issuance of or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money, including any indebtedness for borrowed money issued to any Member;

(a)No Member shall have any authority to bind or act for, or assume any obligation or responsibility on behalf of, a Manager or any other Member.
(b)Any consent, approval, determination, or other action by a Member (solely in its capacity as such) shall be given or taken in the sole and absolute discretion of that Member (solely in its capacity as such) in its own best interests and without regard to the best interests of another Member or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the financial, tax, or other effect on a Manager, another Member or the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c)No Member is authorized to act as the agent, representative, or attorney-in-fact for any other Member or a Manager.

Section 6.2.Liability of Members. No Member or Manager shall have any personal liability whatsoever, whether to the Company, to other Members, or to the creditors of the Company, for the debts of the Company or any of its losses in excess of the amounts such Member or Manager has contributed or agreed to contribute to the Company, unless any such Member or Manager otherwise expressly consents in writing.

ARTICLE VII.
TRANSFER OF UNITS
TRANSFER OF UNITS
Section 7.1.Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)Each holder of Units may Transfer all or any portion of its Units, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE VII. Any attempted Transfer that is not in accordance with this ARTICLE VII shall be, and is hereby declared, null and void ab initio.
(b)No holder of Units may Transfer all or any of its Units if such Transfer would (i) subject the Company to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; (ii) cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes or cause the Company to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Code Section 7704; or (iii) violate, give rise to a default under or cause any payment to become due under, any credit agreement, guaranty or similar credit document or any other material contract to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound.
(c)No Member shall directly or indirectly seek to avoid the provisions of this Agreement by issuing, or permitting the issuance of, any direct or indirect equity or beneficial interest in such Member, in any such case in a manner which would fail to comply with this ARTICLE VII if such Member had Transferred Units directly. Any holder of Units that is an Entity will be deemed to have Transferred Units held by such Entity if (i) such Entity, or any Entity that has a direct or indirect ownership interest in such Entity, issues new equity or equity-linked securities therein, or any equity or equity-linked security therein is Transferred, in each case, other than to an Affiliate of such Entity, and (ii) (x) the fair market value of the Units held by such Entity at the time of issuance or transfer described in clause (i) exceeds 30% of the fair market value of all of the assets of such Entity that is making the issuance or transfer as a whole (a “Deemed Transfer”) or (y) assets are contributed to, or otherwise obtained by, such Entity in order to avoid the application of clause (x) preceding. If a Deemed Transfer occurs without the approval of the Board (including the approval of the TRG Designee), the Entity that holds Units will be deemed to have violated this ARTICLE VII, and, in addition to such rights and remedies as the Company and other Members may have against such defaulting holder, such defaulting holder shall take all action required to void such Transfer.
Section 7.2.Sale Transaction; Right of First Refusal.
(a)Notice of Sale Transaction. Subject to Section 7.2(c), if (i) the Board or, (ii) for so long as the Anywhere Member or any of its Affiliates holds more than 50% of the outstanding Units,
- 22 -
the Anywhere Member (or any of its Affiliates) elects to accept a written offer to effect a Sale Transaction from any Person not Affiliated with the Anywhere Member (a “Sale Offer”), and the Anywhere Member has not previously exercised the Anywhere Call Option, the Anywhere Member shall promptly, but in any event no later than three Business Days following its determination to accept such Sale Offer, provide written notice thereof (a “Sale Offer Notice”) to the TRG Member. The Anywhere Member shall have the right to require that the TRG Member participate in, vote for, consent to and raise no objections against such Sale Transaction, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.2 and provided that the TRG Member shall have at least 10 Business Days following the receipt of such Sale Offer Notice to make a Cash Election prior to the consummation of such Sale Transaction pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(iv). The Sale Offer Notice shall set forth in a reasonably detailed manner the terms and conditions of such Sale Offer, including the name of the prospective purchaser, the number of Units proposed to be sold or exchanged in such transaction, the estimated amount of aggregate consideration reasonably expected to be received and the proposed time and place of closing.
(b)Allocation of Consideration.
(i)All of the consideration payable to the Members in a Sale Transaction shall first be aggregated by the Company before distributing any such consideration to any holder of Units. Subject to clauses (ii) through (iv) below, the Company shall then promptly distribute the aggregate consideration to the Members in accordance with Section 4.1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate purchase price payable to the TRG Member in any Sale Transaction shall be no less than the Anywhere Call Option Unit Price per Unit multiplied by the number of Units sold by the TRG Member in such Sale Transaction (for purposes of calculating the Anywhere Call Option Unit Price, treating the date of the consummation of such Sale Transaction as the date of the Anywhere Call Option Closing for purposes of the definitions of “Anywhere Call Option Unit Price” and “Company Unit Price” and treating the date of delivery of the Sale Offer Notice as the date of delivery of the Anywhere Call Option Notice for purposes of Section 7.4(f)).
(ii)With respect to any Sale Transaction, (A) the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid in connection with such Sale Transaction), purchase price adjustments, escrow amounts, purchase price holdbacks, indemnity obligations and other similar items, shall be deemed to reduce (or increase, as the case may be; i.e., in the case of a purchase price adjustment increase or an indemnity payment in favor of the Members) the aggregate consideration for purposes of determining the apportionment in accordance with Section 4.1(b), (B) cash amounts paid to the Members following the applicable closing (i.e., purchase price adjustment increases, earnout payments, escrow and holdback releases, and similar items) shall be allocated among the Units as such amounts would have been allocated at the applicable closing had such amounts been included in the aggregate consideration and apportioned in accordance with Section 4.1(b) and (C) amounts payable directly by the Members (rather than from escrow or holdback) following the applicable closing (i.e., pursuant to purchase price adjustment decreases, indemnity obligations, and similar items) shall be allocated among the Units (and paid accordingly by the Members that held such Units as of the applicable closing) to reflect the reduction in consideration, if any, that such Units would have suffered at the applicable closing had such amounts been deducted from the aggregate consideration for purposes of determining the apportionment in accordance with Section 4.1(b), in each case, presuming for purposes of such calculation that the Units sold in such Sale Transaction are all the outstanding Units.
(iii)If the Sale Transaction involves the issuance of any stock or other equity consideration in a transaction not involving a public offering and any Member otherwise entitled to
- 23 -
receive consideration in such transaction is not an accredited investor (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act), then the Company may require each Member that is not an accredited investor (A) to receive solely cash in such transaction, (B) to otherwise be cashed out (by redemption or otherwise) by the Company or any other Member prior to the consummation of such transaction, and/or (C) to appoint a purchaser representative (as contemplated by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) selected by the Company, with the intent being that such Member that is not an accredited investor receives substantially the same value that such Member would have otherwise received had such Member been an accredited investor.
(iv)If all or any portion of the consideration payable to the Members in a Sale Transaction is in a form other than cash, the TRG Member shall have the right, upon delivery of written notice thereof to the Anywhere Member prior to the consummation of the Sale Transaction (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not occur prior to the date that is 10 Business Days following the date of receipt by the TRG Member of the applicable Sale Offer Notice), to elect to receive all of the consideration payable to the TRG Member in such Sale Transaction in cash in an amount equal to the value of the non-cash consideration that the TRG Member would otherwise be entitled pursuant to such Sale Transaction (and such value shall be calculated in accordance with Section 7.2(b)) (a “Cash Election”, and such cash consideration, the “Cash Consideration”). If the TRG Member makes a Cash Election, the Anywhere Member will structure the Sale Transaction in its sole discretion in a manner that provides for the TRG Member to receive the Cash Consideration, which may include a purchase by the Anywhere Member or any of its Affiliates of the TRG Member’s Units for cash, a redemption of the TRG Member’s Units by the Company for cash, or a reallocation of the consideration to be paid by the purchaser in the Sale Transaction such that the TRG Member receives only cash in respect of its Units. In the event the TRG Member delivers a Cash Election pursuant to this Section 7.2(b)(iv), the receipt of Cash Consideration in accordance with this Section 7.2(b)(iv) by the TRG Member shall be a condition to the consummation of the Sale Transaction.
(v)If the Sale Transaction to be effected in accordance with this Section 7.2 is structured as a merger, consolidation or asset sale, each Member shall vote in favor of such merger, consolidation or asset sale and hereby waives any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger, consolidation or asset sale. If the Sale Transaction to be effected in accordance with this Section 7.2 is structured as a sale of equity securities, each Member shall agree to sell all of his, her or its Units and other equity securities on the terms and conditions approved by the Board, subject to the terms of this Section 7.2.
(vi)In connection with a Sale Transaction effected pursuant to this Section 7.2, the provisions of Section 7.3(b), Section 7.3(c) (with references to the Tag-Along Deadline therein being deemed to refer to the date on which the Sale Offer Notice is delivered, and provided that the consummation of the Sale Transaction shall not occur prior to the date that is 10 Business Days following the date of receipt by the TRG Member of the applicable Sale Offer Notice) and Section 7.3(e) shall apply to such Sale Transaction, mutatis mutandis. The Anywhere Member may amend the terms of, or terminate, any such Sale Transaction at any time prior to the consummation of such Sale Transaction at the sole discretion of the Anywhere Member without any liability to the TRG Member (so long as any such amendment otherwise complies with the other provisions of this Section 7.2).
(c)Right of First Refusal. If, during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., local time, New York City, New York, on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, the Board or the Anywhere Member (or any of its Affiliates) receives a Sale Offer, neither the Board nor
- 24 -
the Anywhere Member (nor any of its Affiliates) shall accept such Sale Offer or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to any Sale Transaction contemplated thereby without first delivering a written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) with respect thereto to the TRG Member that (i) contains the material terms and conditions of the proposed Sale Transaction as set forth in the Sale Offer, including the name of the prospective purchaser, the number of Units proposed to be sold or exchanged in such transaction, the estimated amount of aggregate consideration reasonably expected to be received and the proposed time and place of closing, and (ii) provides the TRG Member with the irrevocable option, exercisable within 30 days of the date of delivery of the ROFR Notice to the TRG Member (the “ROFR Deadline”), to elect to acquire the Company in a Sale Transaction that is on the same (and in any event no less favorable) terms as those set forth in the Sale Offer (the “ROFR”). During such election period, the TRG Member shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Company and other due diligence information as the TRG Member may reasonably request, upon reasonable prior notice and to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the business of the Company. The failure of the TRG Member to deliver an election to exercise the ROFR prior to the ROFR Deadline shall be deemed to be a waiver of the ROFR with respect to the applicable Sale Offer, and the Company and the Anywhere Member shall be entitled to accept such Sale Offer and elect to have the applicable Sale Transaction be governed by the other provisions of this Section 7.2. If the TRG Member timely elects to exercise the ROFR, the Sale Transaction with respect thereto shall be consummated in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4(d) (other than the last sentence thereof) applicable to the TRG Call Option, which shall apply mutatis mutandis (treating the date of the election by the TRG Member to exercise the ROFR as the date of delivery of the TRG Call Option Notice).
Section 7.3.Tag-Along Rights.
(a)During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the earliest to occur of (x) the consummation of a Sale Transaction, (y) the Anywhere Call Option Closing and (z) the Mandatory Redemption Closing, prior to the Anywhere Member (or any other Member other than the TRG Member, and, for purposes of this Section 7.3, references to the Anywhere Member shall include reference to any other such Member, to the extent applicable) selling, transferring, exchanging, granting a participation interest in, assigning or otherwise directly disposing of any Units to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Anywhere Member (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not include transfers related to equity grants or profits interests grants under employee equity incentive arrangements), the Anywhere Member shall provide the TRG Member with reasonable prior written notice of such sale, transfer, exchange, grant, assignment or disposition, which notice shall include in a reasonably detailed manner (i) the amount (which may be a reasonable estimate, if applicable) and kind of consideration to be paid for each Unit that the Anywhere Member proposes to sell, (ii) the date by which the TRG Member must elect to participate (which date shall be no earlier than 10 days following the date of such notice) (the “Tag-Along Deadline”), (iii) the number and class of Units proposed to be sold by the Anywhere Member, (iv) the proposed date of such sale, (v) the written offer from the proposed Transferee to purchase the Units and (vi) all other material terms and conditions of such sale. The TRG Member shall, upon delivery of written notice thereof to the Anywhere Member on or before the Tag-Along Deadline, have the right to participate in and sell up to the TRG Member’s pro rata share of Units (which shall equal the product of (x) the number of Units the third party actually proposes to purchase multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Units owned by the TRG Member, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Units owned by the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member). The sale of Units by the TRG Member shall, subject to Section 7.3(b), be on the same terms and conditions as the sale of Units by the Anywhere Member, except the purchase price to be paid to the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member for each class of Units shall, subject to Section 7.3(d), be
- 25 -
calculated in the same manner in which such consideration would have been distributed had such distribution been made under Section 4.1(b). The TRG Member shall be entitled to the same kind of consideration received by the Anywhere Member (including, if applicable, equivalent rights to receive a proportionate share of any deferred consideration, earn-out or escrow funds that may become available to the Anywhere Member in connection with the proposed transaction or non-cash consideration per Unit with the same value for such security as is proposed to be received by the Anywhere Member and any deferred consideration, earn-out or escrow funds that may become available to the Anywhere Member in connection therewith). If the Anywhere Member has the option to elect a form of consideration to be received in the sale, then the TRG Member shall have the same option to elect the form of consideration to be received (subject to compliance with applicable securities laws).
(b)Limited Terms. To the extent requested by the Anywhere Member in connection with such sale, the TRG Member shall take all actions reasonably requested in connection with the consummation of such sale, including signing and delivering any customary agreements, instruments and other documentation to the extent consistent with (or no less favorable to the TRG Member as compared to the Anywhere Member) such agreements, instruments and other documentation as the Anywhere Member is required to sign in connection therewith; provided that the TRG Member shall only: (i) be required to make such customary fundamental representations and warranties, including as to due organization and good standing, corporate power and authority, due approval, no conflicts and ownership free and clear of any liens on such Unit, as the case may be, and customary covenants and enter into such definitive agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the sale; and (ii) be obligated to join on a pro rata basis (based upon the amount of consideration received) in any indemnification or other obligations that are part of the terms and conditions of the sale (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to the Anywhere Member, such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by the Anywhere Member regarding its title to and ownership of a Unit), so long as all applicable indemnification obligations are on a several and not joint basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the TRG Member shall not be required to enter into any agreements regarding non-competition, exclusivity, non-solicit, no hire or other restrictive covenants (other than customary confidentiality obligations); (B) the TRG Member shall not be required to agree to any term that purports to bind any portfolio company or investment of the TRG Member or any of its Affiliates (other than confidentiality obligations with respect to such portfolio company or investment that has been provided confidential information); (C) the TRG Member shall not be required to make any representation or warranty or agree to any covenant that is more extensive or burdensome than those made by the Anywhere Member or enter into any agreements not also executed by the Anywhere Member; and (D) the aggregate amount of liability of the TRG Member shall not exceed the proceeds received by the TRG Member in such sale, except in the case of fraud by the TRG Member. If such sale of Units by the Anywhere Member is a Sale Transaction, then the Anywhere Member will use commercially reasonable efforts to afford the TRG Member the opportunity to sell all of its Units in such Sale Transaction even if the Anywhere Member is not selling all of its Units. If the TRG Member receives equity securities that are non-marketable or illiquid as consideration for its Units in any sale pursuant to this Section 7.3, then the Anywhere Member will use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate on behalf of the TRG Member that the rights of the TRG Member associated with such securities to achieve liquidity, including tag-along rights, registration rights, transfer rights, put rights, drag-along rights, redemption rights and other rights to achieve liquidity, will be no less favorable in any material respect than, and the obligation of the TRG Member in respect of the tag-along rights, any drag-along rights and any other covenants regarding transfers will be no more onerous in any material respect than, such rights of the Anywhere Member in respect of the securities received by the Anywhere Member as consideration for the Units held by the TRG Member in such sale (taking into account whether any such rights, obligations or restrictions
- 26 -
are provided to the Anywhere Member based on the percentage of such securities that the Anywhere Member will hold).
(c)Closing. The closing of the sale of the Units owned by the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member, as applicable, shall be held simultaneously at such place and on such date as approved by the Anywhere Member and the proposed purchaser, but in no event later than 120 days (or longer, if applicable law so requires or as necessary to obtain required governmental or other regulatory approvals) following the Tag-Along Deadline. If, within 120 days (or longer, if applicable law so requires or as necessary to obtain required governmental or other regulatory approvals) of the Tag-Along Deadline, the Anywhere Member has not completed the disposition of its Units and those of the TRG Member, as applicable, in accordance herewith, the sale to the proposed purchaser shall be prohibited and any attempt to consummate such sale shall be treated as a violation of Section 7.1; provided that such lapse of time contemplated in this sentence shall not prevent the Anywhere Member from seeking to consummate another sale to such proposed purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VII, including complying with this Section 7.3. The Anywhere Member may amend the terms of, or terminate, any such sale transaction at any time prior to the consummation of such sale transaction at the sole discretion of the Anywhere Member without any liability to the TRG Member (so long as any such amendment otherwise complies with the other provisions of this Section 7.3).
(d)Allocation of Consideration.
(i)All of the consideration payable to the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member in a sale pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall first be aggregated by the Company before distributing any such consideration to any holder of Units. Subject to clauses (i) and (iii) below, the Company shall then promptly distribute the aggregate consideration to the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member in the same manner in which such consideration would have been distributed had such distribution been made under Section 4.1(b).
(ii)With respect to any sale pursuant to this Section 7.3, (A) the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid in connection with such sale), purchase price adjustments, escrow amounts, purchase price holdbacks, indemnity obligations and other similar items, shall be deemed to reduce (or increase, as the case may be; i.e., in the case of a purchase price adjustment increase or an indemnity payment in favor of the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member) the aggregate consideration for purposes of determining the apportionment in accordance with Section 4.1(b), (B) cash amounts paid to the Anywhere Member or the TRG Member following the applicable closing (i.e., purchase price adjustment increases, earnout payments, escrow and holdback releases, and similar items) shall be allocated among the Units as such amounts would have been allocated at the applicable closing had such amounts been included in the aggregate consideration and apportioned in accordance with Section 4.1(b) and (C) amounts payable directly by the Anywhere Member or the TRG Member (rather than from escrow or holdback) following the applicable closing (i.e., pursuant to purchase price adjustment decreases, indemnity obligations, and similar items) shall be allocated among the Units (and paid accordingly by the Member that held such Units as of the applicable closing) to reflect the reduction in consideration, if any, that such Units would have suffered at the applicable closing had such amounts been deducted from the aggregate consideration for purposes of determining the apportionment in accordance with Section 4.1(b), in each case, presuming for purposes of such calculation that the Units sold in such transaction are all the outstanding Units.
- 27 -
(iii)If the sale pursuant to this Section 7.3 involves the issuance of any stock or other equity consideration in a transaction not involving a public offering and any Member otherwise entitled to receive consideration in such transaction is not an accredited investor (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act), then the Company may require each Member that is not an accredited investor (A) to receive solely cash in such transaction, (B) to otherwise be cashed out (by redemption or otherwise) by the Company or any other Member prior to the consummation of such transaction, and/or (C) to appoint a purchaser representative (as contemplated by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) selected by the Company, with the intent being that such Member that is not an accredited investor receive substantially the same value that such Member would have otherwise received had such Member been an accredited investor.
(e)Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred for the benefit of both the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member by the Anywhere Member, the TRG Member or the Company in connection with any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 7.3, including all attorneys’ fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges, and all finders, brokerage, or investment banking fees, charges, or commissions, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the proposed Transferee, shall be borne by the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member pro rata (based upon the amount of consideration received). Costs incurred by or on behalf of either the Anywhere Member or the TRG Member for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of both the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member. The TRG Member shall not be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of any sale pursuant to this Section 7.3.
Section 7.4.Purchase Rights.
(a)TRG Call Option.
(i)At any time during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., local time, New York City, New York, on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “TRG Call Option Period”), the TRG Member shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion (the “TRG Call Option”), upon delivery of written notice to the other Members (the “TRG Call Option Notice”), to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Units (the “TRG Call Option Units”) then held by the other Members for the TRG Call Option Unit Price per Unit. The TRG Member’s election to exercise the TRG Call Option shall be irrevocable following delivery of the TRG Call Option Notice; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the TRG Member shall be entitled to withdraw its exercise of the TRG Call Option at any time prior to the TRG Call Option Closing, by providing written notice thereof (a “TRG Call Option Withdrawal Notice”) to the other Members, (x) if the TRG Member has used good faith efforts to obtain such regulatory approvals and clearances as are required to consummate the TRG Call Option Closing in a timely manner preceding the delivery of such TRG Call Option Withdrawal Notice, and (y) the TRG Member has determined in good faith based on the advice of its outside counsel that such regulatory approvals or clearances required to permit the consummation of the TRG Call Option Closing would not be obtained prior to the TRG Call Option Outside Date. In the event the TRG Member delivers a TRG Call Option Notice, but the TRG Call Option Closing is not consummated prior to the delivery of a TRG Call Option Withdrawal Notice or on or prior to the TRG Call Option Outside Date, as applicable, the TRG Call Option shall expire. The failure of the TRG Member to deliver the TRG Call Option Notice prior to the expiration of the TRG Call Option Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the TRG Call Option.
- 28 -
(ii)In the event the TRG Member delivers a TRG Call Option Notice, the TRG Member and the Anywhere Member shall (i) negotiate in good faith, and concurrently with the TRG Call Option Closing enter into, a transition services agreement pursuant to which the Anywhere Member shall, and shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, provide the Company with certain services and other assistance to be agreed between the parties (for the avoidance of doubt, such services shall include human resources, technology, accounting and tax services, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties) on a transitional basis, not to exceed one year following the date of the TRG Call Option Closing, based on then-current market rates for such services as mutually agreed between the parties, and (ii) negotiate in good faith the contribution by the Anywhere Member to the Company of any Excluded Liabilities (as defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement) relating to the Business (as defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement) and arising in the ordinary course of business as would be appropriate in the context of a whole company sale, taking into account the Excluded Assets (as defined in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement) that were not contributed to the Company under the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.4(a), the TRG Member shall be entitled to effect the acquisition of the TRG Call Option Units through the Company, including by effecting a merger, share exchange, consolidation, recapitalization, repurchase and/or other business combination or reorganization in respect of the Company; provided that the transaction structure implemented by the parties shall be mutually agreed by the TRG Member and the Anywhere Member in good faith. Each Member (other than the TRG Member) hereby agrees to take, and to cause any Managers designated by such Member to take, all actions reasonably requested by the TRG Member to cause the Company to effectuate the foregoing.
(b)Anywhere Call Option. If (i) the TRG Call Option expires unexercised or (ii) the TRG Call Option has been duly exercised in accordance with Section 7.4(a)(i), but the TRG Call Option Closing is not consummated (A) prior to the delivery of a TRG Call Option Withdrawal Notice or (B) on or prior to the TRG Call Option Outside Date, as applicable, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), other than as a result of a breach by the other Members of their obligation to sell, or cause to be sold, all of the TRG Call Option Units pursuant to Section 7.4(a), then, at any time during the period (I) beginning on the date immediately following the later of (x) the third anniversary of the Effective Date and (y) the date on which the TRG Call Option Outside Date expires and (II) ending at 5:00 p.m., local time, New York City, New York, on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Anywhere Call Option Period”), the Anywhere Member shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion (the “Anywhere Call Option”), upon delivery of written notice to the TRG Member (the “Anywhere Call Option Notice”), to purchase (or cause to be purchased by an Affiliate thereof or otherwise (at the Anywhere Member’s discretion)) all (but not less than all) of the Units (the “Anywhere Call Option Units”) then held by the TRG Member and its Affiliates and Transferees, as applicable, for the Anywhere Call Option Unit Price per Unit. The Anywhere Member’s election to exercise the Anywhere Call Option shall be irrevocable following delivery of the Anywhere Call Option Notice. In the event the Anywhere Member delivers an Anywhere Call Option Notice, but the Anywhere Call Option Closing is not consummated on or prior to the Anywhere Call Option Outside Date, the Anywhere Call Option shall expire. The failure of the Anywhere Member to deliver the Anywhere Call Option Notice to the TRG Member prior to the expiration of the Anywhere Call Option Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Anywhere Call Option.
- 29 -
(c)Mandatory Redemption.
(i)If (A) the Anywhere Call Option has not been duly exercised in accordance with Section 7.4(b) prior to the expiration of the Anywhere Call Option Period, (B) the Anywhere Call Option has been duly exercised in accordance with Section 7.4(b), but the Anywhere Call Option Closing has not occurred on or prior to the Anywhere Call Option Outside Date, in each case of clauses (A) and (B), other than as a result of a breach by the TRG Member of its obligation to sell, or cause to be sold, all of the Anywhere Call Option Units pursuant to Section 7.4(b), or (C) the Company has not consummated (or entered into a bona fide definitive agreement to consummate) a Sale Transaction, then, promptly following the latest of (I) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, (II) the Anywhere Call Option Outside Date or (III) the termination of any definitive agreement with respect to a Sale Transaction previously entered into prior to the expiration of the Anywhere Call Option Period (such date, the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), and in any event no later than the Mandatory Redemption Outside Date, the Anywhere Member, the Anywhere Parent or their respective Affiliates shall purchase (or cause to be purchased by an Affiliate thereof or otherwise (at the Anywhere Member’s discretion)) each of the Units then held by the TRG Member and any of its Affiliates, as applicable, for the applicable Mandatory Redemption Unit Price (such transaction, a “Mandatory Redemption”).
(ii)Company Repurchase. In the event that the Anywhere Member (or applicable Affiliate thereof) fails to pay, or cause to be paid, to the TRG Member the Mandatory Redemption Unit Price for each Unit to be sold in connection with a Mandatory Redemption in accordance with the last sentence of Section 7.4(d), at the time that the Mandatory Redemption Closing would have otherwise occurred pursuant to Section 7.4(d), the TRG Member shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, upon delivery of written notice to the Company, to require the Company to repurchase all of the Units then held by the TRG Member and its Affiliates, as applicable, for the applicable Mandatory Redemption Unit Price (plus any Additional Interest thereon). The provisions applicable to the Mandatory Redemption under Section 7.4(d) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Company’s repurchase under this Section 7.4(c)(ii); except that the closing of the Company’s repurchase shall occur at 5:00 p.m., local time, New York City, New York, on the first Business Day following the date that is 15 days following the date such written notice is delivered to the Company.

(iii)Additional Interest. The Mandatory Redemption Unit Price shall be increased by an amount equal to 9% per annum, compounding quarterly, which amount shall cumulate and accrue on a daily basis during the period from the date that the Mandatory Redemption Closing would have otherwise occurred pursuant to Section 7.4(d) through and including the date of the actual Mandatory Redemption Closing (such amount, the “Additional Interest”).
(iv)Anywhere Parent Guaranty. Anywhere Parent hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the full, complete and timely performance of all agreements, covenants and obligations of the Anywhere Member and its Affiliates in respect of the Mandatory Redemption pursuant to this Section 7.4(c), including the payment of the Mandatory Redemption Price and the Additional Interest, and consummation of the Mandatory Redemption Closing, in each case, when and to the extent that the Mandatory Redemption or the Additional Interest shall become due and payable, or performance of the same shall be required in accordance with the terms hereof and subject to any and all limitations on Anywhere Member’s and its Affiliates’ agreements, covenants and obligations under this
- 30 -
Section 7.4(c). Anywhere Parent’s guaranty constitutes a guaranty of performance and payment when due and not of collection and is not conditional or contingent upon any attempt to obtain performance by or to collect from, or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against, the Anywhere Member or its Affiliates.
(v) If any of the Anywhere Member, the Anywhere Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates or the Company fails to consummate the Mandatory Redemption pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.4, then such parties shall be liable for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the TRG Member in connection with any action or Proceeding to enforce the TRG Member’s rights under this Section 7.4(c). The remedies provided in this Section 7.4(c) are non-exclusive and the TRG Member shall be entitled to any other remedies available at law or in equity upon any breach of any of the provisions in this Section 7.4(c).

The TRG Call Option Closing, Anywhere Call Option Closing or Mandatory Redemption Closing, as applicable, shall occur at 5:00 p.m., local time, New York City, New York, on the first Business Day following the date that is 60 days following the date of the TRG Call Option Notice, Anywhere Call Option Notice or Mandatory Redemption Date, as applicable; provided that, in the event that (i) the Company EBITDA and the TitleOne EBITDA have not been finally determined pursuant to Section 7.4(f) prior to the expiration of such 60-day period, such 60-day period shall be extended until 5:00 p.m., local time, New York City, New York, on the fifth Business Day after such amounts are finally determined pursuant to Section 7.4(f), or (ii) any regulatory approvals or clearances are required to permit the consummation of any transaction contemplated by this Section 7.4, including, but not limited to, regulatory approvals and clearances under applicable antitrust law, such 60-day period shall be extended until 5:00 p.m., local time, New York City, New York, on the fifth Business Day after all such approvals and clearances have been received, but in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) of this proviso, in no event later than one year following the delivery of the TRG Call Option Notice (the “TRG Call Option Outside Date”) or the Anywhere Call Option Notice (the “Anywhere Call Option Outside Date”) or the Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Outside Date”), as applicable.

- 31 -
(f)EBITDA Calculation. Within 30 days following the delivery of a ROFR Notice, TRG Call Option Notice or Anywhere Call Option Notice or the Mandatory Redemption Date, as applicable, the Board and the Board of Managers of Over Under Title LLC shall deliver to the TRG Member a proposed calculation of the Company EBITDA and the TitleOne EBITDA, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Board and the Board of Managers of Over Under Title LLC, as applicable, in good faith using the same valuation methodologies and accounting principles, practices, procedures, policies and methods used in the determination of the purchase price under the TRG Company Subscription Agreement and TRG TitleOne Subscription Agreement, as applicable (the “Valuation Methodologies”), together with such reasonable documentation (including supporting calculations and schedules) used by the Board and the Board of Managers of Over Under Title LLC in connection with the preparation of such calculations. Unless the TRG Member has delivered to the Board a written objection to, and alternative calculation of, such proposed Company EBITDA and TitleOne EBITDA within 15 days after delivery thereof (an “Objection Notice”), the Company EBITDA and the TitleOne EBITDA proposed by the Board and the Board of Managers of Over Under Title LLC shall be final and binding on the Members. During such 15-day period, the TRG Member and/or its accountants shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Company and Over Under Title LLC and other documentation relating to the calculations of the Company EBITDA and the TitleOne EBITDA as the TRG Member may reasonably request and to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the business of the Company or of Over Under Title LLC. If the TRG Member delivers an Objection Notice within such 15-day period, the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Objection Notice (the “Resolution Period”). If the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member are unable to resolve all such disagreements on or before the expiration of the Resolution Period, the TRG Member and the Anywhere Member shall promptly retain and enter into an engagement letter with the Appraiser within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Resolution Period to resolve all such disagreements, who shall adjudicate only those items still in dispute. The Appraiser shall offer the TRG Member and the Anywhere Member the opportunity to provide written submissions regarding their positions on the disputed matters, which written submissions shall be provided to the Appraiser, if at all, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date the Appraiser was retained to resolve the disputed matters. The Appraiser’s determination will be based in accordance with the Valuation Methodologies and the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. Neither the TRG Member (or any of its Affiliates or representatives), nor the Anywhere Member (or any of its Affiliates or representatives, including the Company) will engage in any ex parte communications with the Appraiser. The Appraiser shall deliver a written report resolving only the disputed matters and setting forth the basis for such resolution within thirty (30) days following the referral of the disputed matters to the Appraiser. In preparing its report, the Appraiser’s determination as to such items still in dispute shall not be more beneficial to the TRG Member or the Anywhere Member than the determination of that item in the Objection Notice or proposed calculations delivered to the TRG Member by the Board and the Board of Managers of Over Under Title LLC (as applicable). The Anywhere Member and the TRG Member shall cooperate in good faith with the Appraiser in connection with the determination of the Company EBITDA and the TitleOne EBITDA and provide all such data and information as may be reasonably requested by the Appraiser in connection therewith. The determination of the Appraiser shall be made within thirty (30) days following the referral of the disputed matters to the Appraiser, and absent any manifest error or fraud, such determination shall be final and binding on the parties. The Appraiser will act as an expert and not an arbitrator and will determine only those unresolved disputed items that have been submitted to the Appraiser by the parties. Any retainer and fees, costs and expenses of the Appraiser shall be borne by the TRG Member and the Company in inverse proportion to the relative amounts of the disputed amount determined to be for the account the TRG Member and the Company, respectively.
- 32 -
(g)Non-Transferability of Rights; Applicability to Affiliates and Transferees. The rights provided for in this Section 7.4 are personal to each Member to which such rights have been granted and may not be Transferred (including through a Deemed Transfer) by any such Member to any Person other than to an Affiliate of such Member; provided, that any Transferee of the Units of such Member shall be subject to all obligations of such Member hereunder. For clarity, the rights and obligations of the TRG Member and the Anywhere Member under this Section 7.4 shall apply in all respects to (i) in respect of the TRG Member, any Affiliate of the TRG Member that exercises the TRG Call Option or the ROFR or owns Units at the time of delivery of the Anywhere Call Option Notice or the Mandatory Redemption, as applicable, (ii) in respect of the Anywhere Member, any Affiliate of the Anywhere Member that exercises the Anywhere Call Option or owns Units at the time of delivery of the TRG Call Option Notice or the Mandatory Redemption, as applicable, (iii) any other Member (other than the TRG Member or the Anywhere Member or any of their respective Affiliates) that owns Units at the time of delivery of the TRG Call Option Notice, and (iv) any Transferee of the TRG Member or any of its Affiliates at the time of delivery of the Anywhere Call Option Notice. No assignment by the Anywhere Member shall limit or relieve the Anywhere Member’s or its Affiliates’ obligation to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price and consummate the Mandatory Redemption Closing when required pursuant to this Section 7.4, or the obligations of the Anywhere Parent under Section 7.4(c)(iv).
Section 7.5.Conditions to Transfers; Continued Applicability of Agreement.
(a)Joinder. As a condition to any Transfer permitted under this ARTICLE VII, including any Transfer of Units by the Anywhere Member to any of its Affiliates, or any Transfer of Units by the TRG Member to any of its Affiliates, any Transferee of Units shall be required to become a party to this Agreement by executing (together with such Person’s spouse, if applicable) a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which such Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and obligations of this Agreement as a Member, including the terms and obligations set forth in Section 7.2 and Section 7.4 herein. If any Person acquires Units from a Member in a Transfer, notwithstanding such Person’s failure to execute a Joinder Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence (whether such Transfer resulted by operation of law or otherwise), such Person and such Units shall be subject to this Agreement as if such Units were still held by the Transferor. Each of the Anywhere Member and the TRG Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Transfer of Units to any of their respective Affiliates under this ARTICLE VII shall release the Anywhere Member or the TRG Member, as applicable, from any of its duties or obligations hereunder.
(b)Securities Laws Compliance. No Units may be Transferred by a Person, unless the Transferor first delivers to the Company, at the Transferee’s sole cost and expense, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (such as an opinion of counsel) to the effect that such Transfer is not required to be registered under the Securities Act; provided that the Company, with the approval of the Board, may waive any requirement to deliver a legal opinion under this provision.

(c)Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Treas.

(d)Special Basis Adjustments. To the extent 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 Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 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 Member in complete
2

Section 3.3.Other Allocation Rules.
(a)In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, each Company item of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit (as calculated for purposes of allocating Net Profits or Net Losses, including items allocated under Section 3.2) is allocated pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.2.
(b)Code Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 3.3(a) to the contrary, in accordance with Code section 704(c)(1)(A) (and the principles of that section) and Treas.

Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) or (s), shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its value as so determined at the time of the contribution and/or revaluation of Company property. In making those allocations, the Company shall be permitted to use any methods and/or conventions permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3. Allocations pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and this Section 3.3(b) shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of profit, loss, or other items, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

If the Company reasonably determines an allocation, other than the allocations that otherwise would be made pursuant to this Tax Annex, would more appropriately reflect the Members’ interests in the Company, the Company may in its discretion make such more appropriate allocations.
3
(d)Allocations in Respect of Varying Interest. If any Member’s interest in the Company varies (within the meaning of Code section 706(d)) within a Fiscal Year, whether by reason of a Transfer of a Unit, redemption of a Unit by the Company, or otherwise, Net Profits and Net Losses for that Fiscal Year shall be allocated so as to take into account such varying interests in accordance with Code section 706(d) using the daily pro ration method and/or such other permissible method, methods, or conventions selected by the Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, in the case of a Transfer, the Company shall use the method, methods, or conventions selected by the Transferor to the extent such method, methods, or conventions comply with Code section 706.
Section 3.4.Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

(ii)Payment of Imputed Underpayment Share. The Company may (1) require a Member who is liable for an Imputed Underpayment Share to pay the amount of its Imputed Underpayment Share to the Company within ten (10) days after the date on which the Company notifies the Member (with the payment to be made in the manner required by the notice) and/or (2) reduce future distributions to the Member, such that the amount determined under clause (1) and (2) equals the Member’s Imputed Underpayment Share. If a Member fails to pay any amount that it is required to pay the Company in respect of an Imputed Underpayment Share, that amount shall be treated as a loan to the Member, bearing interest at twelve percent (12%) annually (which interest shall compound daily and increase the Member’s Imputed Underpayment Share). Such loan shall be repayable on demand by the Company. If the Member fails to repay the loan upon demand, the full balance of the loan shall be immediately due (including accrued but unpaid interest), and the Company shall have the right to collect the balance in any manner it determines, including by reducing future distributions to that Member.
(iii)Limitation of Payment of Imputed Underpayment Share. The amount that a Member may be required to pay the Company in respect of an Imputed Underpayment Share shall not exceed that Member’s Maximum Imputed Underpayment Share Obligation. The “Maximum Imputed Underpayment Share Obligation” of a Person is the cumulative, total amount of tax-effected distributions made by the Company to that Member over the duration of such Person’s Membership in the Company. For this purpose, the cumulative total amount of tax-effected distributions made to a Person shall equal (x) the amount of cash plus the net Fair Market Value of property distributed to that Person decreased by (y) the amount of taxes paid by the Person to the extent attributable to the Person’s ownership of interests in the Company and increased by (z) the amount of any tax benefit actually received (whether in cash or as a reduction in cash tax liability) by that Person in connection with an allocation of a Tax Item to that Person by the Company within the preceding two (2) taxable years, in each case, determined by assuming such Person is subject to tax at the Assumed Tax Rate.
Section 4.7.Former Members; Survival; Amendment. For purposes of Article IV, the term “Member” shall include a former Member to the extent determined by the Company.
