The Unitholders intend that the Company always be operated in a manner consistent with its treatment as a “partnership” for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. The Unitholders also intend that the Company not be operated or treated as a “partnership” for any other purposes, including Section 303 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Neither the Managers nor the Unitholders may take any action inconsistent with this express intent of the Unitholders.

ARTICLE 3
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; UNITHOLDERS
3.1Initial Capital Account Balances. Each Unitholder shall have a Capital Account as of the Effective Time in proportion to the Percentage Interest of such Unitholder as of the Effective Time.
3.2Additional Capital Contributions. No Unitholder shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions, and no Unitholder shall be allowed to make an additional Capital Contribution without the approval of the Managers. If the Managers and the Class A Members determine that additional Capital Contributions are needed to enable the Company to conduct its business (each, a “Capital Call”), the Managers shall deliver to the Members written notice of the Capital Call, which shall specify the total size of the Capital Call and the number and class (and, if applicable, series) of Units to be issued in consideration for the additional Capital Contributions (the “Capital Call Notice”). The Capital Call Notice shall specify all rights and obligations associated with the class (and, if applicable, series) of Units to be issued in connection with the Capital Call and the amendments, if any, required to be made to this Agreement to reflect the rights and obligation of such Units and the other terms and conditions of the Capital Call, as determined by the Managers and the Class A Members. The per Unit price for each Unit
7


issued to a Member participating in a Capital Call shall be equal to the fair market value of such Unit as of the date of the Capital Call Notice, as determined by the Managers in good faith and the Class A Members in good faith (the “Capital Call Per Unit Price”). Concurrently with each Capital Contribution made pursuant to such Capital Call, this Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically amended, without requiring any further action on the part of the Members or the Managers, to reflect the rights and obligations associated with the Units issued pursuant to such Capital Call as set forth in the Capital Call Notice and such other rights and obligations approved by the Managers and the Class A Members. Each Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contribute a percentage of the total Capital Contributions required by the Capital Call equal to the Percentage Interest of such Member relative to the Percentage Interests of all Members. If any Member does not fully participate in the Capital Call within thirty days of the Managers’ delivery of the Capital Call Notice, the Members who fully participated in the Capital Call during such thirty day period may make additional Capital Contributions during the following thirty days until the entire Capital Call is satisfied, with the amount of such additional Capital Contributions to be determined by the Members making such additional Capital Contributions.

If the entire Capital Call is not satisfied pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Company shall have ninety days thereafter to sell the remaining Units subject to such Capital Call to third parties on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Capital Call Notice. If the Company has not sold such Units within such ninety-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Units without first complying with this Section 3.2.
3.3No Unauthorized Withdrawals of Capital Contributions. No Unitholder shall have the right to withdraw or to be repaid any of such Unitholder’s Capital Contributions, except as provided in this Agreement.
3.4Return of Capital. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Unitholder shall be entitled to the return of such Unitholder’s Capital Contributions to the Company.
3.5Borrowing.

The Unitholder Register as of the date hereof takes into account the Merger and the foregoing conversions; accordingly, no adjustment shall be made to Unitholder Register as of the date hereof as a result of the Merger.
3.7Members and Units. The Managers shall cause to be maintained in the books and records of the Company a register containing the name and address, the class and the number of Units held and the Percentage Interests of the Unitholders (the “Unitholder Register”). The Unitholder
8

12


5.3State Law Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a Distribution to any Unitholder on account of such Unitholder’s Units if such Distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.
5.4Distributions with Respect to Taxes.

ARTICLE 6
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
6.1Profit and Loss Allocations. Subject to and after making any special allocations required under Appendix 1, for each Fiscal Year (or other relevant period), Profits and Losses (and, if necessary, individual items of gross income, gain, loss, or deduction) shall be allocated among the Unitholders for such Fiscal Year (or other relevant period) in such a manner as to cause their Capital Account balances to equal, as nearly as possible, their Target Balances. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the balance of each Unitholder’s Capital Account will be determined after crediting thereto any amount the Unitholder is obligated or deemed obligated to restore under this Agreement or Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), 1.704-2(g)(1), or 1.704-2(i)(5).
6.2Tax Allocations.
(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(b), for U.S. income tax purposes, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company for any tax period shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with the allocation of Profits and Losses prescribed in this Article 6 and Appendix 1.
(b)In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among Unitholders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section A1 of Appendix 1, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall
13


take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder; provided, however, that unless otherwise determined by the Managers, the Company shall adopt the Traditional Method as defined under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b), and shall not adopt the Traditional Method with Curative Allocations as defined under Regulations Section 1.704-3(c) or the Remedial Allocation Method as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) that would require any Unitholder to report any item of income or gain for Code Section 704(c) purposes that differs in amount or timing from the Profit that the Company allocates to such Unitholder under Code Section 704(b). Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.2 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unitholder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or other items or Distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
(c)The Unitholders are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 6 and Appendix 1 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 6 and Appendix 1 in reporting their distributive shares of the Company’s taxable income and loss for income tax purposes.
6.3Section 706 Method. For the taxable year that includes the Effective Time, income, gain, loss, deduction or credit attributable to any Units which have been Transferred shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee under the interim closing method described in Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

Failure to respond within the requisite time period (which shall in all cases never be less than ten days) shall constitute a vote consistent with the Managers’ recommendation with respect to the proposal, if any. If the Managers receive the necessary consent of the Class A Members or the Class B Members, as applicable, to such action, the Managers shall be authorized to implement such action without further authorization by the Class A Members or the Class B Members, respectively.
7.4Written Consent. All actions, appointments and elections taken by the Class A Members or the Class B Members, as applicable, shall be in writing or by electronic transmission and shall be

ARTICLE 8
LIABILITY, EXCULPATION, INDEMNIFICATION AND FIDUCIARY DUTIES
8.1Liability.

Any Manager may consult with counsel and accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, in respect of the Company affairs and, provided such Person acts in good faith reliance upon the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants or other experts, such Person shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the Company or any Unitholder in reliance thereon. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in Section 18-406 of the Act.
8.4Indemnification.
15


(a)The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Person to the fullest extent permitted under the Act against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorney fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates or of which such Person is an Affiliate) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Unitholder, a Manager or an officer of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Person”) if, in each case, (i) such Indemnified Person acted in a manner the Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Agreement, and, solely with respect to a Indemnified Person in such Person’s capacity as an officer of the Company, in good faith on behalf of the Company; or (ii) the Managers so determine, within their reasonable judgment; provided, that no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, liabilities and losses suffered that are attributable to such Indemnified Person’s breach of the express terms of this Agreement or in the case of an officer, such officer’s breach of such officer’s fiduciary duties set forth in this Agreement, in each case, as determined by a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected) or such Indemnified Person’s or such Indemnified Person’s Affiliates’ (excluding, for purposes hereof, the Company) present or future breaches of any representations, warranties, duties or covenants by such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Person’s Related Parties (excluding, for purposes hereof, the Company), contained herein or in any other agreement with the Company. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) shall be paid by the Company as incurred in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 8.4(a) shall be deemed contract rights and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 8.4(a) shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal.
(b)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this Section 8.4), any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 8.4 shall be provided out of and to the extent of the Company assets only, and no Unitholder (unless such Unitholder otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company (except as expressly provided herein).
8.5No Fiduciary Duties of Managers or Unitholders. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or in any agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, the Unitholders and the Company hereby agree that no Manager (in such capacity) and no Unitholder (in such capacity) shall owe any fiduciary duties to the Company, the Members or any other Person bound by this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not eliminate the duty to comply with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and each Unitholder hereby waives any claim or cause of action against each Manager and Unitholder (for the avoidance of doubt, other than claims or causes of action against any Unitholder solely in such Person’s capacity as an officer or other service provider to the Company or against any Unitholder for breach of this Agreement) and such Manager’s or Unitholder’s Related Parties for any breach of any fiduciary duty to the Company or the Unitholders by any such Person, including as may result from any conflict of interest, including a conflict of interest between the Company, any of the Managers or its Unitholders and such Person or otherwise. The Company and each Unitholder acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any such conflict of interest, each such Person (in the absence of a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing) may act in the best interests of such Person or such Person’s Related Parties. To the
16


maximum extent permitted by applicable law and without limiting the foregoing, no Manager or Unitholder (for the avoidance of doubt, other than any Unitholder solely in such Person’s capacity as an officer or other service provider of the company) shall be obligated to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the Unitholders, or to recommend or take any action in its capacity as a Manager or Unitholder that prefers the interests of the Company or the Unitholders over the interests of such Person or such Person’s Related Parties, and each of the Company and each Unitholder hereby waives the fiduciary duty, if any, of such Person to the Company or the Unitholders, including in the event of any such conflict of interest or otherwise. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of a Covered Person or an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Company and each Unitholder to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person or Indemnified Person.
8.6Fiduciary Duties of Officers. The officers of the Company, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Company fiduciary duties (including of loyalty and due care) of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the laws of the State of Delaware.
ARTICLE 9
TAX MATTERS AND BANKING
9.1Tax Matters. The Unitholders intend that the Company shall be operated in a manner consistent with its treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Unitholders shall not take any action inconsistent with this expressed intent. Neither the Partnership Representative nor any other Person shall take any action to cause the Company to elect to be classified as an association taxed as a corporation pursuant to Regulations Section ###-###-####-3(a) or any counterpart under state or local law or to otherwise be taxed as a corporation. The Company and each Unitholder agrees not to make any election for the Company to be excluded from the application of the provisions of Subchapter K of the Code.

The Managers shall cause the Company accountants to prepare and timely file all tax returns required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Code and all other tax returns deemed necessary and required in each jurisdiction in which the Company does business. The Managers shall instruct Company accountants to prepare and deliver all necessary tax returns and information to each Unitholder within a reasonable period following the end of each Fiscal Year.
(a)The Managers may, where permitted by the rules of any Taxing Jurisdiction, file a composite, combined, or aggregate tax return reflecting Company income, and pay the tax, interest, and penalties of some or all Unitholders on such income to the Taxing Jurisdiction. In such case the Company shall inform the Unitholders of the amount of such tax, interest, and penalties so paid. Any such amount shall be treated as a Tax Distribution made to the respective Unitholder.
(b)The Managers shall designate the Partnership Representative for each Fiscal Year as required by the Centralized Partnership Audit Regime. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership Representative shall act as such only at the direction of the Managers. Any Person so designated as the Partnership Representative shall receive no compensation (other than compensation, if any, otherwise specified in this Agreement) from the Company or its Members for its services in that capacity. To the extent and in the manner permitted by the Code and Regulations, the Partnership Representative may be removed by the Managers or resign.
(c)The Managers shall cause the Company to make the election provided under Code Section 754 and any corresponding provision of applicable state or law for the Fiscal Year that includes the Effective Time, and shall ensure that the Company has a valid election under Code Section
17


754 in effect (and if appropriate shall make a new election under Code Section 754) for any Fiscal Year that includes a Unit Purchase Closing Date.
(d)Each Unitholder shall report Company items on such Unitholder’s income tax return in a manner consistent with the Company income tax return, except as otherwise approved by the Managers. If a Unitholder reports inconsistently, such Unitholder shall be liable to, and hereby agrees to indemnify, the other Unitholders and the Company for any expenses, including professionals’ fees, tax, interest, penalties, or litigation costs, that may arise as a consequence of such inconsistent reporting, such as an audit by a Taxing Jurisdiction.
(e)For each Fiscal Year for which it is eligible, the Company shall elect out of the Centralized Partnership Audit Regime pursuant to Code Section 6221(b). If the Company is ineligible or otherwise fails for any reason to so elect out for a Fiscal Year with respect to which there is an adjustment of an item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or a Unitholder’s distributive share thereof, the Company shall (i) elect the alternative payment procedures described in Code Section 6226, (ii) require the Reviewed Year Unitholders to comply with the amended return or other procedures in Code Section 6225, or (iii) take any other steps as may reasonably be determined by the Managers in consultation with the Company’s tax advisers. In any case, each Reviewed Year Unitholder shall indemnify the Company from and against any loss attributable to such Reviewed Year Unitholder’s allocable share of any “imputed underpayment” (within the meaning of the Centralized Partnership Audit Regime), including any interest, penalty, other additions to tax, and all other costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) that may be sustained by the Company in connection therewith, as determined by the Managers in their reasonable discretion. The Company shall be entitled to recover such loss by any lawful means, including by offsetting such loss against amounts otherwise distributable to the Reviewed Year Unitholder or the Reviewed Year Unitholder’s transferees or assignees.
(f)Subject to the second sentence of Section 9.2(b), the Partnership Representative is hereby authorized and empowered to act for and represent the Company and each of the Unitholders before the Internal Revenue Service and other Taxing Jurisdictions in any audit or examination of any Company tax return and before any court selected by the Unitholders for judicial review of any adjustment assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and any other Taxing Jurisdictions. The Unitholders specifically acknowledge, without limiting the general applicability of this Section 9.2(f), that the Partnership Representative shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to any Unitholder with respect to any action taken by it in good faith in its capacity as the Partnership Representative. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative in its capacity as such shall be considered expenses of the Company for which the Partnership Representative shall be entitled to full reimbursement.
(g)Each Unitholder (whether or not a Unitholder at the time of the request) shall furnish such information as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative or the Managers in connection with any audit or other proceeding against or with respect to the Company by any taxing authority. Such information shall be furnished in the time and manner specified.
(h)This Section 9.2, and the Company’s and each Unitholder’s obligations under this Section 9.2, shall survive the liquidation of the Company and any Transfer or other event that causes a Unitholder to cease to be a Unitholder (with such Person continuing to be obligated by this Section 9.2 thereafter).
9.3Bank Accounts. The Company shall maintain checking or other accounts in such bank or banks as the Managers shall determine and all funds received by the Company shall be deposited therein and withdrawn therefrom under such general or specific authority as this Agreement or the Act shall grant to the Managers or the officers of the Company. Company funds shall not be commingled with the funds of any other Person. Checks shall be drawn upon the Company account or accounts only for Company purposes and shall be signed by authorized Persons on the Company’s behalf.

20


elected by the Company, its assign(s)) has made a claim against such Withdrawn Member, any Related Person of such Withdrawn Member or any Person with respect to whom such Withdrawn Member is a direct or indirect assignee of Class B Units and such claim unresolved at such time, the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) shall be entitled to the retain from such payment the portion of such amount that the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) determines in good faith would reasonably be expected to constitute a Reducing Setoff Amount, if such claim were resolved in the Company’s (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) favor (any such amount, a “Purchaser Claim Amount”).

Subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in Section 11.3, a Transfer of Class B Units shall constitute a “Permitted Transfer” and the Person to whom Units are Transferred (each, a “Permitted Transferee”) shall be admitted as a Class B Member (if such Transferring Member is a Class B Member) if:
(a)the Transfer is made by lifetime gift for estate planning purposes or legitimate tax planning purposes to a member or members of such Transferring Class B Member’s Family;
(b)the Transfer is made to a trust for the benefit of such Transferring Class B Member or such Transferring Class B Member’s Family;

(a)the Transfer does not cause the Company to become a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Code Section 7704(b);
(b)the Class B Units which are the subject of the Transfer are registered under the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws; or, alternatively if requested by the Managers, the Transferring Class B Member provides an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company and its counsel, that such Transfer is exempt from all applicable registration requirements or that such Transfer will not violate any applicable securities laws; and
(c)with respect to the Transfer of any Class B Units, the transferor and the transferee agree to execute such documents and instruments necessary or appropriate in the Managers’ discretion to confirm such Transfer, including, without limitation, the transferee’s execution of a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and assume all of the transferor’s obligations under this Agreement.
11.4Rights as Transferee; Obligations of Transferor. A Person who acquires Class B Units other than in a Permitted Transfer and who is not admitted to the Company as a Class B Member shall be an Assignee, and a Class B Member who attempts a Transfer of Units which is not a Permitted Transfer shall automatically cease to be a Class B Member and become an Assignee with respect to the Units such Person attempted to Transfer; provided, however, that a Class B Member who engages in such Transfer shall retain all obligations and duties as an Assignee and, if applicable, a Class B Member under this Agreement and the Class B Units subject to such Transfer shall continue to be subject to all obligations and all rights of the Company and the other Members under this Agreement. Any Distributions to such purported transferee may be applied (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Company) to satisfy any debts, obligations, or liabilities for damages that the transferor or transferee may have to the Company. All Class B Units acquired by a Person in connection with a Withdrawal Event shall continue to be subject to all obligations and all rights of the Company and the Members under this Agreement, including the Purchase Option and the Call Right (as defined below).

No Class B Unitholder shall directly or indirectly (a) permit the Transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect equity or beneficial interest in such holder or (b) otherwise 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 holder, in any such case in a manner which would fail to comply with this Article 11 if such holder had Transferred the Class B Units directly.
11.6Specific Performance and Other Relief. Each Class B Unitholder acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Article 11 would result in substantial harm to the Company and the other Unitholders for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the Unitholders unconditionally and irrevocably agree that the Company and any non-breaching Unitholder shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Class B Units not made in strict compliance with this Agreement) in connection with any breach of this Article 11.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Drag-Along Party’s liability with respect to any Drag-Along Sale shall be limited to such Drag-Along Party’s applicable share (determined based on the respective proceeds payable to each Unitholder in connection
23


with such Drag-Along Sale in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to such Drag-Along Party in connection with such Drag-Along Sale in such Person’s capacity as a Unitholder, except with respect to claims related to fraud by such Drag-Along Party, the liability for which need not be limited as to such Drag-Along Party.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, a Drag-Along Party will not be required to comply with Section 11.7(b) in connection with any proposed Drag-Along Sale, unless: (i) the only representations, warranties and covenants which such Drag-Along Party shall be required to make in connection with such Drag-Along Sale are representations and warranties with respect to such Drag-Along Party’s own ownership of the Units to be sold by such Drag-Along Party and such Drag-Along Party’s ability to convey title thereto free and clear of liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, such Drag-Along Party’s due organization (if applicable), due authorization, execution and delivery of definitive purchase, merger or similar agreements (if applicable), the enforceability of such agreements against such Drag-Along Party and no conflict of such Drag-Along Party’s organizational documents (if applicable) with such agreements and (ii) the liability of such Drag-Along Party with respect to any representation and warranty made with respect to the Company in connection with the Drag-Along Sale is the several liability of such Drag-Along Party (and not joint with any other Person).

(f)If the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Units pursuant to this Section 11.7 includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Unitholder would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to any Unitholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, then such Unitholder agrees to receive, in lieu of any such securities, if elected by the Electing Members, against surrender of the Units which would have otherwise been sold by such Unitholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Managers) of the securities which such Unitholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Units.
(g)In no manner shall this Section 11.7 or any other provision in this Agreement be construed to grant to any Unitholder any dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights or give any Unitholder any right to vote on any transaction structured as a merger or consolidation except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, it being understood that the Unitholders hereby acknowledge that statutory appraisal rights are not provided under Section 18-210 of the Act (entitled “No Statutory Appraisal Rights”) and
24


grant to the Class A Members the sole right to approve or consent to a Change of Control or a Drag-Along Sale without consent of any other the Unitholders.

The Managers may exercise the irrevocable proxy granted to them hereunder at any time any such Class B Unitholder fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.7. The proxies and powers granted by each Class B Unitholder pursuant to this Section 11.7 are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of such Class B Unitholder’s obligations under this Agreement. Such proxies and powers will be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and will survive the death, incompetency and disability of such Class B Unitholder and the respective holders of Units.

THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS DOCUMENT ARE SUBJECT TO FURTHER RESTRICTION AS TO THEIR SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION, OR ASSIGNMENT AS SET FORTH IN THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF THE COMPANY AND AGREED TO BY EACH HOLDER OF UNITS OF THE COMPANY.

Thereafter, the Transferring Class A Member shall be free to consummate the Class A Unit Sale. Each Tag-along Member shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case, consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by such Transferring Class A Member. With respect to any Transfer subject to this Section 11.10, the applicable Transferring Class A Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of the Tag-along Members who have elected to participate in the Tag-along Sale.

12.3Company Notice and Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount Determination.

(a)No later than the first day of each Election Period, the Company (by action of the Managers) shall prepare and deliver to the Class B Unitholder Representative a statement setting forth the Company’s calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount for the period ended on December 31st of the year immediately prior to the year in which such Election Period began (each such statement, a “Company Statement”). No Company Statement will be required to be delivered with respect to a CoC Election Period if a Company Statement has already been delivered with respect to the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount to be applied to any Call Right exercised in such CoC Election Period or if the Company determines not to exercise the Call Right available in such CoC Election Period.
(b)During the thirty-day period following the delivery of the Company Statement to the Class B Unitholder Representative (such period with respect such Company Statement, a “Review Period”), the Company shall provide the Class B Unitholder Representative and one independent certified public accountant acting on behalf of the Class B Unitholder Representative with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the Company’s books and records reasonably requested by the Class B Unitholder Representative in connection with its review of the amounts set forth in such Company Statement, subject to the Class B Unitholder Representative and such independent certified public accountant entering into a non-disclosure agreement with the Company in customary form as reasonably requested by the Company.
(c)On or prior to the last day of the Review Period with respect to each Company Statement, the Class B Unitholder Representative shall have the right to deliver to the Managers a written notice stating in reasonable detail any and all of the Class B Unitholder Representative’s non-duplicative objections to the calculations of the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount set forth in such Company Statement (any such dispute notice with respect to a Company Statement, an “Objection Notice”). Any Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount of any objection, the basis or bases therefor, and shall include reasonable supporting documentation and the Class B Unitholder Representative’s calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount covered by the related Company Statement. Any amount or determination set forth in a Company Statement that is not specifically disputed in an Objection Notice delivered to the Managers prior to 11:59 PM Mountain Time on the last day of the Review Period with respect to such Company Statement shall be deemed accepted and shall be final and binding on all Class B Unitholders, the Class B Unitholder Representative and the Company for all purposes of this Article 12. With respect to each Company Statement, if the Class B Unitholder Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice to the Company prior to 11:59 PM Mountain Time on the last day of the Review Period with respect to such Company Statement, the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount set forth in such Company Statement shall be final and binding on all Class B Unitholders, the Class B Unitholder Representative and the Company for all purposes of this Article 12.
(d)During the thirty-day period following the Managers’ receipt of a timely Objection Notice (if any) with respect to a Company Statement (each such period, a “Discussion Period”), the Class B Unitholder Representative and the Company (acting by Majority Consent of the Managers) shall attempt to mutually agree on the items disputed. If the Company (acting by Majority Consent of the Managers) and the Class B Unitholder Representative resolve and come to an agreement regarding any adjustments to the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount covered in such Company Statement, the Company and the Class B Unitholder Representative shall prepare, execute and deliver a written memorandum setting forth such resolution (a “Settlement Memorandum”). The portion of the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount so agreed to as set forth in a Settlement Memorandum shall be final and binding upon the Class B Unitholders, the Class B Unitholder Representative and the Company for purposes of this Article 12.
(e)If the Company (acting by Majority Consent of the Managers) and the Class B Unitholder Representative are unable to resolve all disputes set forth in an Objection Notice during the Discussion Period, then the Company (acting by Majority Consent of the Managers) and the Class B Unitholder shall cause an Independent Accountant to be selected in order to resolve such dispute as
29


provided in this Section 12.3(e). The Class B Unitholder Representative and the Company shall submit any adjustments set forth in such Objection Notice that have not been resolved in writing by the Class B Unitholder Representative and the Company (such remaining items in dispute, the “Disputed Items”) to the Independent Accountant for resolution. The Company (acting by Majority Consent of the Managers), on the one hand, and the Class B Unitholder Representative, on the other hand, each shall provide the Independent Accountant with their respective determinations of the Disputed Items and their respective resultant calculations of the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount and shall instruct the Independent Accountant to deliver to the Company and the Class B Unitholder Representative a written determination of the Independent Accountant (such determination to include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination) of the Disputed Items within thirty days of receipt of the disputed items. The Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall make its determination of the Disputed Items and the resultant Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount, which determination shall be final and binding, absent fraud or manifest error, on the Class B Unitholders, the Class B Unitholder Representative and the Company for all purposes of this Article 12. The determination of any Disputed Items by the Independent Accountant shall be within, and limited by, the range comprised of the respective determination of each of the Company’s and the Class B Unitholder Representative’s calculation with respect to such Disputed Items. The determination of the Disputed Items by the Independent Accountant shall be based on whether such Disputed Items have been calculated in accordance with the terms of this Article 12, and the Independent Accountant shall not make any other determination. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination based solely on presentations and supporting material provided by the Company and the Class B Unitholder Representative and not pursuant to any independent review. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid pro rata by the Company, on the one hand, and the Class B Unitholders Representative (on behalf of the Class B Unitholders, with each Class B Unitholder’s share in such fees, costs and expenses based on the number of Class B Units to be sold to the Company relative to the total number of Class B Units to be sold to the Company), on the other hand, in relation to the proportional difference between the Independent Accountant’s determination of the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount and the Company’s and the Class B Unitholder Representative’s respective determinations of the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount.
12.4Put Right and Call Right Exercise.
(a)If the Requisite Class B Members elect to exercise the Put Right in any Put Election Period, the Class B Unitholder Representative shall deliver to the Managers (on behalf of the Company) no later than 11:59 PM Mountain Time on the last day of such Put Election Period a written notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, signed by the Requisite Class B Members and setting forth such election (a “Put Election Notice”). Following the delivery of a Put Election Notice pursuant to this Section 12.4(a), except with the written consent of the Managers, the Put Right as exercised by such Put Election Notice may not be revoked and the Put Right Unit Purchase with respect thereto shall be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 12.5. With respect to each Put Election Period, if a Put Election Notice has not been delivered to the Managers on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section 12.4(a) by 11:59 PM Mountain Time on the last day of such Put Election Period, the Put Right for such Put Election Period shall automatically terminate without any further action on the part of the Requisite Class B Members, the Class B Unitholders or the Company; provided, however, that such termination shall not limit the ability of the Requisite Class B Members to exercise the Put Right in any subsequent Put Election Period. The determination whether to exercise the Put Right shall be in the sole discretion of the Requisite Class B Members and, without limiting the express obligations of the Company, the Class B Unitholders or the Class B Unitholder Representative under this Article 12, neither the exercise of the Put Right nor the failure to exercise the Put Right shall give rise to, or form the basis for, any liability or obligation of any of the Company, the Managers, any of the Class A Members, any of their Affiliates or any Requisite Class B Members.
(b)If the Company (by action of Majority Consent of the Managers) or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)), elect(s) to exercise the Call Right in any Call Election Period, the Company
30


(by action of Majority Consent of the Managers) or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s), shall deliver to the Class B Unitholder Representative no later than 11:59 PM Mountain Time on the last day of such Call Election Period a written notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, setting forth such election (a “Call Election Notice” and together with any Put Election Notice, each an “Election Notice”). Following the delivery of a Call Election Notice pursuant to this Section 12.4(b), except with the written consent of the Class B Unitholder Representative, the Call Right as exercised by such Call Election Notice may not be revoked and the Call Right Unit Purchase with respect thereto shall be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 12.5. With respect to each Call Election Period, if a Call Election Notice has not been delivered to the Class B Unitholder Representative pursuant to this Section 12.4(b) by 11:59 PM Mountain Time on the last day of such Call Election Period, the Call Right for such Call Election Period shall automatically terminate without any further action on the part of the Company, the Class B Unitholder Representative, the Requisite Class B Members or the Class B Unitholders or the Company; provided, however, that such termination shall not limit the ability of the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) to exercise the Call Right in any subsequent Call Election Period. The determination whether to exercise the Call Right shall be in the sole discretion of the Managers and, without limiting the express obligations of the Company, the Class B Unitholders or the Class B Unitholder Representative under this Article 12, neither the exercise of the Call Right nor the failure to exercise the Call Right shall give rise to, or form the basis for, any liability or obligation of any of the Company, the Managers, any of the Class A Members, any of their Affiliates or any Requisite Class B Members.
(c)In order for the Put Right or Call Right to be duly exercised pursuant to Section 12.4, such right must be exercised as indicated above for all of the Subject Class B Units with respect to such Election Period. If a Put Election Notice and a Call Election Notice are made during the same Election Period, the terms and timing of such Unit Purchase shall be governed by the terms applicable to the Election Notice made first; provided, however, in the case of a Call Election Notice delivered in a CoC Election Period, such Unit Purchase shall be governed by the terms applicable to such Call Election Notice.
12.5Closing.
(a)Subject to Section 12.7, the consummation of each Unit Purchase with respect to a Put Right or Call Right duly exercised pursuant to Section 12.4 (each, a “Closing”) shall take place on a date determined by the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)), which shall be no later than ninety days following the later of (i) the first date upon which an Election Notice with respect to such Unit Purchase was duly delivered during an Election Period pursuant to Section 12.4 by the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) or the Requisite Class B Members and (ii) the Final Determination Date with respect to the Adjusted EBITDA Reference Amount applicable to such Put Right or Call Right, in each case, which period may be extended by the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) to the extent necessary to obtain any regulatory or governmental approvals (the date so determined by the Company with respect such Unit Purchase). The date upon which a Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as a “Unit Purchase Closing Date.” The Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) shall give the Class B Unitholders at least fifteen days written notice of the date of such closing.
(b)At each Closing of a Unit Purchase:
(i)The Class B Unitholders shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) the Subject Class B Units with respect to such Unit Purchase and all right, title and interest therein, free and clear of all Liens;
(ii)Each Class B Unitholder shall duly, complete, execute and deliver to the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)), the Purchase and Sale Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, including by correctly indicating on the schedules to such Purchase
31


and Sale Agreement the number of Subject Class B Units applicable to such Unit Purchase (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”);
(iii)The Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) shall duly execute and deliver to the Class B Unitholder Representative (on behalf of the Class B Unitholders, which shall constitute delivery to the Class B Unitholders) the Purchase and Sale Agreement with respect to such Unit Purchase;
(iv)The Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) will pay to the Class B Unitholders with respect to each Subject Class B Unit being sold in such Unit Purchase the Per Unit Purchase Price applicable to such Unit Purchase as provided in Section 12.7 (reduced by applicable taxes); and
(v)The Company will update the Unitholder Register to reflect the Company’s (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)’) purchase of the Subject Class B Units in such Unit Purchase.
(c)Each Class B Unitholder shall take, and each Requisite Class B Member shall use reasonably best efforts to cause each Class B Unitholder to take, all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance contemplated by this Article 12, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 12, the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) shall not be required or allowed to purchase any Class B Units pursuant to this Article 12 if such purchase would violate the Act or other applicable law.
12.6Proxy. In order to secure each Class B Unitholder’s obligation to sell, assign, transfer and convey Class B Units pursuant to this Article 12, and take all other actions in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12, each Class B Unitholder hereby appoints the Managers and each Manager acting alone as such Class B Unitholder’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, to sell, assign, transfer and convey all Class B Units held by such Class B Unitholder to the extent such Class B Unitholder is required to sell, assign, transfer and convey such Class B Units to the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)), or the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) is required to purchase such Class B Units from the Class B Unitholders, pursuant to this Article 12, and to take all such other actions as expressly provided for in this Article 12, including to execute any documents in order to effectuate the sale and purchase of Class B Units in connection with the exercise of the Put Right or the Call Right as provided for in (and in accordance with) this Article 12 (and to take all lawful actions necessary and/or desirable to sell, assign, transfer and convey or otherwise dispose of such Class B Units held by such Class B Unitholder, in connection therewith). The Managers may exercise the irrevocable proxy granted to them hereunder at any time any such Class B Unitholder fails to comply with the provisions of this Article 12. The proxies and powers granted by each Class B Unitholder pursuant to this Section 12.6 are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of such Class B Unitholder’s obligations under this Article 12. Such proxies and powers will be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and will survive the death, incompetency and disability of such Class B Unitholder and the respective holders of Class B Units. None of the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)), the Managers or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability arising from or relating to the exercise of the rights set forth in this Section 12.6.
12.7Payments. Payments required to be made to the Class B Unitholders pursuant to this Article 12 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Class B Unitholder set forth in the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement. The amounts payable pursuant to this Article 12 to any Class B Unitholder shall be subject to setoff and reduced by any amounts owed to
32


the Company or any of its Affiliates or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s) by such Class B Unitholder, any Related Person of such Class B Unitholder or any Person with respect to whom such Class B Unitholder is a direct or indirect assignee of Class B Units (any such amount, a “Setoff Amount”). If at the time that any amounts are payable to a Class B Unitholder pursuant to this Article 12, the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) has made a claim against a Class B Unitholder, any Related Person of such Class B Unitholder or any Person with respect to whom such Class B Unitholder is a direct or indirect assignee of Class B Units and such claim unresolved at such time, the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) shall be entitled to the retain from such payment the portion of such amount that the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) determines in good faith would reasonably be expected to constitute a Setoff Amount, if such claim were resolved in the Company’s (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) favor (any such amount, a “Withheld Amount”). Promptly following the resolution of such claim, the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) shall pay to the Class B Unitholder an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts, minus any portion thereof that constitutes a Setoff Amount. The right to withhold and retain the Setoff Amounts and the Withheld Amounts, as applicable, shall not limit the obligation of any Class B Unitholder to consummate the sale of its Class B Units to the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) pursuant to this Article 12, it being understood that such sale shall be consummated at the time contemplated by this Article 12, with the impact of this Section 12.7 being limited to the reduction of the per unit price that is required to be paid to such Class B Unitholder pursuant hereto.
12.8Standstill. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 12, the Company (or, if elected by the Company, its assign(s)) shall not be entitled to exercise or consummate the Call Right, the Class B Unitholders shall not be entitled to exercise or consummate the Put Right and the Company shall not be required to repurchase any Class B Units pursuant to Section 12.5, in each case, during such time as the Company is actively pursuing a Change of Control, an IPO or a Direct Listing (as defined below) (such period, the “Standstill Period”); provided that such Standstill Period shall not exceed six months from the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company (by action of Majority Consent of the Managers) shall be entitled to waive the Standstill Period in respect of any Put Right or Call Right at its sole discretion. If there is a Standstill Period and the Company does not consummate such Change of Control, IPO or Direct Listing during such Standstill Period, the Election Periods and required Closing dates set forth in this Article 12 that were delayed due to such Standstill Period shall be adjusted as may be required to allow and require the Company and the Requisite Class B Members and the Class B Unitholder Representative to exercise their rights and fulfill their obligations during the periods of time contemplated in this Article 12. By way of example only, if the Company actively pursues a Change of Control beginning April 15, 2028 and ceases to pursue such Change of Control as of May 15, 2028 and, but for the Standstill Period, an Election Period would have otherwise commenced on April 30, 2028, such Election Period shall be adjusted to begin on May 16, 2028 and end on and ending on the date that is fifteen days after the date that such Election Period would have otherwise ended.
12.9Amounts Withheld. Each Person making a payment to the Class B Unitholders pursuant to this Article 12 shall be entitled to withhold all amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of other applicable tax law. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of other applicable tax law with respect to any payment to the Class B Unitholders pursuant to this Article 12 shall be treated as amounts paid to the relevant Unitholder or Unitholders for all purposes of this Agreement.
12.10Operation of Business. Parent hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Class B Unitholder Representative (on behalf of the Class B Members and subject to Section 12.11), that from the Effective Time until December 31, 2029 (or such earlier date that all of the Class B Units outstanding as of the Effective Time have been repurchased), Parent will not incur any costs allocable to the Company pursuant Schedule 12.2(a) with the sole purpose of reducing the Adjusted EBITDA in order to reduce the Per Unit Purchase Price payable to the Class B Members, it being understood and agreed that this sentence will not limit the ability of Parent, the Company, or any of their respective officers, directors, managers or
33


Affiliates from taking any action, or require any of them to refrain from taking any action, with or for any other purpose.  Without limiting the express terms in the foregoing sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent, any of its Affiliates or any Manager or officer of the Company designated by the Class A Members, from taking or refraining from taking any action that would be, or would otherwise be interpreted in a manner that is, inconsistent with the right of Parent, any of its Affiliates’ or any Manager or officer designated by the Class A Members, from exercising the power and right to control the business and operations of Parent, the Company and their Affiliates.  The Company and each Class B Member expressly acknowledges and agrees that this Section 12.10 contains the entire agreement with respect to the obligations of Parent or any Manager or officer of the Company designated by the Class A Members, in connection with the Company Net Income, the Adjusted EBITDA, the Per Unit Purchase Price or the other provisions of this Article 12, and that notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, for purposes of this Agreement, none of Parent, the Company, any of their Affiliates or any other Person make any, and none of the Class B Members or the Class B Unitholder Representative is relying on any, representation, warranty or covenants to the Class B Members or the Class B Unitholder Representative with respect to support provided to achieve, or the feasibility of achieving, the Company Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA or the payment of any portion of Per Unit Purchase Price or otherwise related to the provisions of this Article 12.
12.11Class B Unitholder Representative.
(a)The Class B Unitholder Representative is hereby designated and appointed as the Class B Unitholders’ true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for all purposes designated to the Class B Unitholder Representative in this Article 12 and any related agreements, schedules and exhibits, with full power and authority to represent each Class B Unitholder and such Class B Unitholder’s successors and assigns with respect to all matters arising under this Article 12 designated to the Class B Unitholder Representative.
(b)All actions taken by the Class B Unitholder Representative under this Article 12 and any related agreements, schedules and exhibits will be binding upon each Class B Unitholder and such Class B Unitholder’s successors and assigns as if expressly ratified and confirmed in writing by them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Class B Unitholder Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Class B Unitholder and such Class B Unitholder’s successors and assigns, to interpret the terms and provisions of this Article 12 and the related agreements, schedules and exhibits, to negotiate and compromise any dispute that may arise under this Article 12 or any related agreements, schedules or exhibits and to sign any releases or other documents with respect to any such dispute. Each Class B Unitholder will be deemed a party or a signatory to any agreement, document, instrument or certificate for which the Class B Unitholder Representative signs on behalf of such Class B Unitholder. All decisions, actions and instructions by the Class B Unitholder Representative will be conclusive and binding on each Class B Unitholder and no Class B Unitholder shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Company (and its assign(s)) and the Unitholders have the right to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Class B Unitholder Representative under this Article 12, and no Class B Unitholder will have any cause of action against the Company and any other Unitholders for any action taken by the Company or any other Unitholders in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Class B Unitholder Representative. The appointment of the Class B Unitholder Representative is an agency coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and any action taken by the Class B Unitholder Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 12.11 is effective and absolutely binding on each Class B Unitholder notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from any Class B Unitholder. Notices and communications to or from the Class B Unitholder Representative shall constitute a notice and communication to or from, respectively, each of the Class B Unitholders. The death or incapacity, or dissolution or other termination of existence, of any Class B Unitholder does not terminate the authority and agency of the Class B Unitholder Representative (or successor thereto). The Class B Unitholder Representative may resign at any time. The provisions of this Section 12.11 are binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives and successors of each Class B Unitholder, and any references in this Agreement to any Class B Unitholder shall mean and
34


include the successors to such Class B Unitholder’s rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.
(c)The Class B Unitholder Representative shall act for the Class B Unitholders on all of the matters set forth in this Article 12 and any related agreements, exhibits or schedule in the manner the Class B Unitholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Class B Unitholders as a whole and consistent with its obligations under this Agreement. The Class B Unitholder Representative will incur no liability to the Class B Unitholders in connection with such Person’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from such Person’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Class B Unitholder Representative shall not be liable to the Class B Unitholders for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Class B Unitholders shall indemnify the Class B Unitholder Representative against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, liabilities and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel, accountants, auditors and other advisors retained by the Class B Unitholder Representative (“Class B Unitholder Representative Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Class B Unitholder Representative Expense is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Class B Unitholder Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Class B Unitholder Representative, the Class B Unitholder Representative will reimburse the Class B Unitholders the amount of such indemnified Class B Unitholder Representative Expense to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Class B Unitholder Representative Expenses may be recovered by the Class B Unitholder Representative from any funds that become payable to the Class B Unitholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Class B Unitholders; provided, that while the Class B Unitholder Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Class B Unitholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Class B Unitholder Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Class B Unitholder Representative be required to advance such Person’s own funds on behalf of the Class B Unitholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Class B Unitholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Class B Unitholder Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Class B Unitholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
(d)The Class B Unitholders, in their capacities as such, shall refrain from taking any action or engaging in any negotiation or transaction or giving any notice which the Class B Unitholder Representative shall have the authority to do or engage under this Article 12 and any related agreements, exhibits or schedules, it being the intent of the Class B Unitholders that the Class B Unitholder Representative, on behalf of the Class B Unitholders collectively and individually, will be solely responsible for dealing with the Company, the Unitholders and third parties with whom the Class B Unitholders have a contractual relationship arising under this Article 12 or the agreements, exhibits or schedules contemplated herein. At the request of the Class B Unitholder Representative, the Class B Unitholders will execute and deliver such agreements, instruments and certificates as the Class B Unitholder Representative shall reasonably request to give effect to this Article 12.
12.12Treatment of Repurchased Class B Units. All Class B Units repurchased by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be cancelled. All Class B Units purchased by assignee(s) of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically be reclassified as Class A Units upon the Closing of such purchase.
12.13Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 12, the rights and obligations under this Article 12 shall automatically terminate immediately prior to the earliest to occur of (a) the Company consummating a Change of Control, (b) the Company’s (or any successor’s or parent entity’s) consummation of an initial public offering of its equity securities (an “IPO”) (c) the Company’s
35


(or any successor’s or parent entity’s) consummation of the initial listing of its equity securities on an exchange or marketplace by means of an effective registration statement filed by the Company (or such successor or parent entity) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (a “Direct Listing”) and (d) the Company’s and its assign(s) purchase of all Class B Units pursuant to the terms of this Article 12.
ARTICLE 13
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION
13.1Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of any of the following events:
(a)the consent of the Class A Members;
(b)the sale or distribution by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets; or
(c)any time there are no Members, unless the Company is continued in accordance with the Act.
The foregoing events shall be the only events causing dissolution under the Act and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Members and the Managers hereby waive their right to seek a judicial dissolution of the Company. A Person that wrongfully causes the dissolution of the Company loses the right to participate in the management of the Company in any capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, the dissolution of the Company pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 13.1 shall not require the consent of the Managers.
13.2Liquidation, Winding Up and Distribution of Assets. The Managers shall, upon the Company’s dissolution, proceed to liquidate Company assets and properties, discharge Company obligations, and wind up the Company’s business and affairs in accordance with the Act and this Agreement. The Profits and Losses of the Company through the period of winding up and liquidation shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with the provisions of Article 6. Proceeds from liquidating Company assets shall, to the extent available, be applied and distributed as follows:
(a)first, to the payment and discharge of all Company debts and liabilities, including the expenses and cost of winding up, and to the establishment of any reasonable reserves for contingent, conditional or unmatured debts and liabilities, in the order of priority as provided by law; and
(b)thereafter, any remaining proceeds shall be distributed to the Unitholders in accordance with Section 5.1. Any such distributions to the Unitholders under this Section 13.2(b) shall be made within the time requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). The Managers may, in their sole discretion, cause the Company to transfer the Company’s assets and liabilities to a trust established for the benefit of the Unitholders for the purposes of liquidating the Company’s assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and satisfying any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company. In such case, the Managers shall act as trustees of such trust and amounts shall be distributed to the Unitholders, as beneficiaries of the trust, in the same proportions as would otherwise have been distributed to the Unitholders pursuant to this Agreement.
13.3Deficit Capital Accounts. No Unitholder shall have any obligation to contribute or advance any funds or other property to the Company by reason of any negative or deficit balance in such Unitholder’s Capital Account during or upon completion of winding up or at any other time except to the extent that a deficit balance is directly attributable to a Distribution of cash or other property in violation of this Agreement and such Unitholder knew at the time of such Distribution that such Distribution was unlawful.
36


13.4Return of Contribution Non-Recourse to Other Unitholders. Except as provided by law, upon dissolution, each Unitholder shall look solely to the Company assets for the return of such Unitholder’s Capital Contributions. If any Company property remaining after satisfaction (whether by payment or making reasonable provision for payment) of Company debts and liabilities is insufficient to return the cash or other property contribution of one or more Unitholders, such Unitholders shall have no recourse against the Company, any Manager or any other Unitholder.
13.5In Kind Distributions. A Unitholder shall have no right to demand and receive any Distribution from the Company in any form other than cash. However, a Unitholder may be compelled to accept a Distribution of an asset in kind if the Company is unable to dispose of all of its assets for cash.
13.6Change of Control. If in connection with a Change of Control there is a payment of consideration to the Unitholders with respect to their Units, the aggregate consideration to be received by all Unitholders receiving consideration in connection with such Change of Control shall be allocated among such Unitholders in accordance with Section 5.1.
ARTICLE 14
CONVERSION
In the event that a Conversion Event shall occur, the Unitholders shall take all necessary and desirable action to incorporate the Company or take such other action as the Managers may deem advisable, including (a) dissolving the Company, creating one or more subsidiaries of the newly formed corporation and transferring to such subsidiaries any or all of the assets of the Company (including by merger), (b) causing the Unitholders to exchange their Units for shares of capital stock of the newly formed corporation or (c) effecting the conversion of the Company into a corporation pursuant to the Act. In connection with any such transaction, the Unitholders shall receive, in exchange for their respective Units, shares of capital stock of such corporation or its subsidiaries having the same relative economic interest and other rights and obligations in such corporation or its subsidiaries as is set forth in this Agreement, subject to any modifications (as reasonably determined by the Managers) required solely as a result of the conversion to corporate form. At the time of such transaction, the Unitholders shall, and hereby agree to, take any and all actions deemed reasonably necessary and appropriate by the Managers to effect such transaction, including entering into a stockholders’ agreement providing for, among other provisions: (i) the restrictions on Transfer on the Class B Units set forth in this Agreement; (ii) an agreement to vote all shares of capital stock held by them to elect the board of directors of the new corporation in accordance with this Agreement; and (iii) an arrangement to reflect the economic agreements among the Unitholders reflected herein. Prior to consummating any such transaction, the Class A Members and the Managers shall approve the proposed forms of a certificate of incorporation, bylaws, stockholders’ agreement and any other governing documents proposed to be established for such corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, all of which shall, as nearly as practicable (as reasonably determined by the Managers), reflect the rights and obligations of the Unitholders under this Agreement and comparable agreements applicable to any subsidiary as of the date of such transaction.
ARTICLE 15
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
15.1Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand, or communication required or permitted to be given to the Company or any Manager or Unitholder by any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes if (a) delivered personally to the Company or such Manager or Unitholder, as applicable, (b) sent by e-mail to the Company or such Manager or Unitholder, as applicable, to the applicable e-mail address set forth in the books and records of the Company for any such Manager, on the Unitholder Register with respect to any such Unitholder, or the signature page hereto for the Company or (c) sent by registered or certified mail,
37


postage prepaid, addressed to the Company or such Manager or Unitholder at the applicable address set forth in the books and records of the Company, on the Unitholder Register or the signature page hereto, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided herein, any such notice shall be deemed to be given on (i) the date on which the same was personally delivered, (ii) if sent via electronic mail, on the earlier of (1) the time sent (unless such Person previously elected via notice to the sender to render this clause (1) inapplicable to such Person); and (2) the time when actually received and opened by such Person; or (iii) if sent by registered or certified mail, on the seventh day after such notice was deposited in the United States mail addressed as aforesaid.
15.2Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder will be governed by, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice of law provisions.
15.3Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Company and the Unitholders concerning the matters set forth herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived, with consent of the Class A Members without the consent of any other Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Managers); provided, however, that any amendment or waiver of Section 4.2(b), Section 4.4(c), Section 4.5(b), Section 4.6(b), Section 4.7(b) or Article 12 shall also require the consent of the Class B Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managers shall be authorized to make any amendments to this Agreement that counsel to the Company opines are necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. If any conflict exists between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any oral or prior agreement among the Unitholders and the Company or any of them, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
15.4Additional Documents and Acts. Each Unitholder agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
15.5Headings. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define, or limit the scope, extent, or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
15.6Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under the present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision will be fully severable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
15.7Heirs, Successors, and Assigns. Each and all of the covenants, terms, provisions, and agreements herein contained shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the parties’ respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment by the Company of any right of the Company under this Agreement shall require the approval of the Managers.
15.8Creditors and Other Third Parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, or enforceable, by any Company creditors or any other third parties, except that the Managers, the Covered Persons, the Indemnified Persons and the Related Parties of a Unitholder or a Manager (to the extent they have rights set forth in this Agreement) shall have the rights expressly granted to them in this Agreement.
15.9Preparation of Document/Independent Counsel. After negotiations among the Unitholders and the Company, this Agreement was prepared by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. (“Wilson Sonsini”), as legal counsel to Parent. Wilson Sonsini has not acted as legal counsel to any other Unitholder in preparing this Agreement. Each Unitholder acknowledges that such Unitholder has had the
38


opportunity to review this Agreement with independent legal counsel of their own choice. The Unitholders acknowledge this Agreement has been the product of negotiation between the counsel of the Unitholders, the Company and Parent. Accordingly, the Unitholders and the Company agree that in the event of any ambiguity in any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed against a party regardless of which party was responsible for the drafting thereof.
15.10Section, Other References. Except to the extent provided to the contrary, references to the terms “Section,” “Schedule,” “Exhibit,” or “Appendix” mean to the corresponding Sections, Schedules, Exhibits, or Appendices attached to or referred to in this Agreement. Each Appendix, Exhibit and Schedule referred to in this Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in this Agreement as if such Appendix, Exhibit or Schedule were set out in full in the text of this Agreement.
15.11Venue. Any dispute relating hereto shall be heard solely and exclusively in the state or federal courts of Delaware, and the parties and the Unitholders consent to and agree to jurisdiction and venue therein and not to contest jurisdiction or move for forum non conveniens or otherwise dispute the forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Person may bring an action (i) to enforce a judgment or order from a state or federal court of Delaware in any court with jurisdiction over the Person against whom such judgment or order is being enforced and (ii) for specific performance or injunctive relief in any court with jurisdiction over the Person against whom such equitable relief is sought.
15.12MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
15.13Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall for all purposes be deemed an original, and all of such counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
15.14Performance, Breach and Remedies. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the remedies set forth in this Agreement are cumulative and shall not exclude any other remedies to which a Person may be lawfully entitled. Without limiting the rights and remedies otherwise available to the Company or any Unitholder, each Unitholder: (a) acknowledges that the remedy at law for damages resulting from such Unitholder’s breach of Article 10, Article 11 or Article 12 is inadequate; and (b) consents to the institution of an action for specific performance of its obligations in the event of such breach. Each Unitholder acknowledges that certain provisions of this Agreement provide for specified consequences in the event of a breach of this Agreement by a Unitholder. Each Unitholder agrees that the default provisions of this Agreement are fair and reasonable and, in light of the difficulty of determining actual damages, represent a prior agreement among the Unitholders as to appropriate specified penalties or specified consequences. Each Unitholder further agrees and acknowledges that any actions taken or not taken by the Managers or any Unitholder with respect to a defaulting Unitholder shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied in law or equity to any Unitholder, regardless of whether the same or different remedies are applied to each defaulting Unitholder.

(ii)To each such Person’s Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any Company assets Distributions to such Person pursuant to any provision of this Agreement as determined by the Managers, such Person’s distributive share of Losses, and any items in the nature of expenses or losses that are specially allocated pursuant to Sections A2 and A3, and the amount of any liabilities of such Person assumed by the Company.

The Managers may modify the manner of computing the Capital Accounts or any debits or credits thereto (including debits or credits relating to liabilities that are secured by contributions or Distributions of property or that are assumed by the Company or any Unitholder) in order to comply with such Regulations, provided that any such modification is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Unitholder pursuant to Section 13.2 upon the dissolution of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Managers shall



make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the aggregate sum of the Capital Accounts and the amount of capital reflected on the balance sheet of the Company, as determined for book purposes in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(v)if the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to subsection (i), (ii) or (iv) above, such Gross Asset Value shall thereafter be



adjusted by the Depreciation taken into account from time to time with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Profits and Losses.

Any special allocation of items of Company income and gain pursuant to this Section A2(a) shall be made before any other allocation of items under this Appendix 1. This Section A2(a) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b)Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease during a Fiscal Year in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, then each Unitholder with a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) an amount equal to such Unitholder’s share of the net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made among the Unitholders in proportion to the respective amounts to be allocated to each of them pursuant to such Regulation. Any special allocation of items of income and gain pursuant to this Section A2(b) for a Fiscal Year shall be made before any other allocation of Company items under this Appendix 1, except only for special allocations required under Section A2(a). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section A2(b) is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)Qualified Income Offset. If any Unitholder receives any adjustments, allocations, or Distributions described in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Unitholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate as quickly as possible, to the extent required by such Regulation, any deficit in such Unitholder’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance, such balance to be determined after all other allocations provided for under this Appendix 1 have been tentatively made as if this Section A2(c) were not in this Agreement.
(d)Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Unitholder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount (if any) such Unitholder is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Unitholder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Unitholder shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section A2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Unitholder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Appendix 1 have been made as if Section A2(c) and this Section A2(d) were not in the Agreement.
(e)Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Unitholders in accordance with their Percentage Interests.



(f)Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1), to the Unitholder or Unitholders who bear the economic risk of loss for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such deductions are attributable.
(g)Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset under Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Unitholders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations.
(h)Syndication Expenses. Any syndication expenses which must be deducted from each Unitholder’s Capital Account in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)(2) in the year paid shall be allocated pro rata to the Unitholders based on their Percentage Interest. If Unitholders are admitted to the Company on different dates, all syndication expenses shall be divided among the Unitholders from time to time so that, to the extent possible, the cumulative syndication expenses allocated pursuant to this Section A2(h) with respect to each Unit is the same amount. In the event the Managers shall determine that such result is not likely to be achieved through future allocations of syndication expenses, the Managers may allocate a portion of Profits or Losses so as to achieve the same effect on the Capital Accounts of the Unitholders, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.
A3.Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in subsections (a) through (g) of Section A2 (“Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix 1 (other than the Regulatory Allocations and the next two (2) following sentences), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Unitholders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other Profits, Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Unitholder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Unitholder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. For purposes of applying the preceding sentence, Regulatory Allocations of Nonrecourse Deductions and Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be offset by subsequent allocations of items of income and gain pursuant to this Section A3 only if (and to the extent) that: (a) the Managers reasonably determine that such Regulatory Allocations are not likely to be offset by subsequent allocations under Section A2(a) or Section A2(b), and (b) there has been a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (in the case of allocations to offset prior Nonrecourse Deductions) or a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt (in the case of allocations to offset prior Member Nonrecourse Deductions). The Managers shall apply the provisions of this Section A3, and shall divide the allocations hereunder among the Unitholders, in such manner as will minimize the economic distortions upon the Distributions to the Unitholders that might otherwise result from the Regulatory Allocations.
A4.General Allocation Rules. For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period,



Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Managers using any method permissible under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder. For purposes of determining the Unitholders’ proportionate shares of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), their respective interests in Unitholder profits shall be in the same proportions as their Percentage Interests.
A5.Recharacterization of Fees or Distributions. In the event that a guaranteed payment to a Unitholder is ultimately recharacterized (as the result of an audit of the Company’s return or otherwise) as a Distribution for federal income tax purposes, and if such recharacterization has the effect of disallowing a deduction or reducing the adjusted basis of any asset of the Company, then an amount of Company gross income equal to such disallowance or reduction shall be allocated to the recipient of such payment. In the event that a Distribution to a Unitholder is ultimately recharacterized (as the result of an audit of the Company’s return or otherwise) as a guaranteed payment for federal income tax purposes, and if any such recharacterization gives rise to a deduction, such deduction shall be allocated to the recipient of the Distribution.
A6.Recapture of Deductions and Credits. If any “recapture” of deductions or credits previously claimed by the Company is required under the Code upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Company assets, those recaptured deductions or credits shall, to the extent possible, be allocated to Unitholders, pro rata in the same manner that the deductions and credits giving rise to the recapture items were allocated using the “first-in, first-out” method of accounting; provided, however, that this Section A6 shall only affect the characterization of income allocated among the Unitholders for tax purposes.
