(i) If an Exchanging Party desires to exercise its right to require a Redemption, it shall deliver a written notice to the Company and the Operating Company specifying the number of Units such Exchanging Party desires to tender for redemption and whether the exercise of its right to require a Redemption is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of a sale of the Class A Shares for which the Units will be redeemed or the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or other transaction or event in which the Class A Shares would be exchanged or converted or become exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other securities or property (the “Notice of Redemption”). The Company shall not be obligated to effect a Redemption until the Specified Redemption Date (it being understood that the Company will not be required to consummate such Redemption with respect to any Tendered Units that are purchased by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(b)).

(ii) The Common Share Amount shall be delivered by the Company on or before the Specified Redemption Date as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Shares, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the restrictions provided in the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, such Exchanging Party shall be deemed the owner of such Class A Shares for all purposes, including, without limitation, rights to vote and consent, receive dividends and distributions, and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. Class A Shares issued upon a Redemption pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as the Company in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no TWR Party shall exercise its right to require a Redemption of Units or Tendered Units, as applicable, that consist solely of OpCo Units, and do not include corresponding Class B Shares, to the extent that, in the reasonable judgment of the Exchanging Party in consultation with the Company, any filing with, consent, approval or authorization of, or notice to, any governmental authority is required and has not been made (and TWR Party acknowledges that it shall be responsible for any costs and/or expenses incurred by such Exchanging Party in connection with any such filing or notice, or with obtaining any such consent, approval or authorization).

(b) In lieu of any Redemption described in Section 2.1(a), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion (but subject to the approval of the Audit Committee), offer to purchase some or all of the Tendered Units (such amount, expressed as a percentage of the total number of Tendered Units rounded up to the nearest Unit, being referred to as the “Applicable Percentage”) from the Exchanging Parties by delivering a written notice of such election on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date. If an Exchanging Party, in each case, accepts such offer in writing, on the Specified Redemption Date the Exchanging Party, in each case, shall sell such number of the Tendered Units to the Company in exchange for a cash sum (the “Cash Purchase Price”) equal to the product of the Cash Amount and the Applicable Percentage. If the Company offers, subject to the approval of the Audit Committee, to purchase some or all of the Tendered Units and an Exchanging Party accepts such offer:

(i) the Cash Purchase Price shall be delivered, in each case, in the Exchanging Party’s sole and absolute discretion, by wire transfer or as a certified or bank check payable to the Exchanging Party, in each case, in immediately available funds and on or before the Specified Redemption Date; and

(ii) the remaining Tendered Units shall be subject to Redemption pursuant to Section 2.1(a).

(c) In the event the Company elects to exercise its offer rights pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the Company shall provide a written notice to that effect (an “Exercise Notice”) to the Operating Company and the Exchanging Party on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date. The failure of the Company to provide an Exercise Notice by the close of business on the Cut-Off Date shall be deemed to be an election by the Company not to make an offer to purchase any of the Tendered Units. The Exchanging Party shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Exercise Notice to give written notice of acceptance.

(d) Without limiting the remedies of the Exchanging Parties, if the Company offers to purchase some or all of the Tendered Units under Section 2.1(b) for the Cash Purchase Price and an Exchanging Party accepts, and the Cash Purchase Price is not paid on or before the Specified Redemption Date, interest shall accrue with respect to the Cash Purchase Price from the day after the Specified Redemption Date to and including the date on which the Cash Purchase Price is paid at a rate equal to the Applicable Federal Short-Term Rate as published monthly by the United States Internal Revenue Service.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Redemption pursuant to Section 2.1(a), or any purchase of Units by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(b) hereof:

(i) Without the consent of the Company, no Exchanging Party may effect a Redemption (A) for less than two thousand (2,000) Units, (B) if such Exchanging Party holds less than two thousand (2,000) Units, for any of the Units held by such Exchanging Party, or (C) more than one time in any calendar month. Without limiting the foregoing, no TWR Party shall effect a Redemption for a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is six months following the Effective Date without the consent of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in the Company’s sole discretion).

(ii) If (A) an Exchanging Party surrenders Tendered Units during the period after the record date with respect to a distribution payable to Holders of OpCo Units, and before the record date established by the Company for a distribution to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such Operating Company distribution, and (B) the Company elects to purchase any of such Tendered Units pursuant to Section 2.1(b), then such Exchanging Party shall pay to the Company on the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash equal to the Operating Company distribution paid or payable in respect of such Tendered Units.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the consummation of a Redemption pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof or a purchase of Tendered Units by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(b) hereof, as the case may be, shall not be permitted to the extent the Company determines that such Redemption or purchase (A) would be prohibited by applicable law or regulation (including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Delaware LLC Act or the Delaware General Corporation Law) or (B) would not be permitted under the Charter, the OpCo Limited Liability Company Agreement or any other agreements to which the Company or the Operating Company may be party or any written policies of the Company related to unlawful or improper trading (including, without limitation, the policies of the Company relating to insider trading).

(f) The Company, the Operating Company and each Exchanging Party shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated, except that the Operating Company shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any Class A Shares are to be delivered in a name other than that of an Exchanging Party, then such Exchanging Party and/or the person in whose name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to the Operating Company the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

Section 2.2 Expiration. In the event that the Operating Company is dissolved pursuant to the OpCo Limited Liability Company Agreement, any Exchange Right pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall terminate upon final distribution of the assets of the Operating Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the OpCo Limited Liability Company Agreement.

Section 2.3 Adjustment. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the OpCo Units, Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, each Exchanging Party shall be entitled to receive the amount of such

security, securities or other property that such Exchanging Party would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the OpCo Units, Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, this Section 2.3 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property. This Agreement shall apply to, mutatis mutandis, and all references to “OpCo Units,” “Class A Shares” or “Class B Shares” shall be deemed to include, any security, securities or other property of the Operating Company or the Company, as applicable, which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of the OpCo Units, Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, by reason of any distribution or dividend, split, reverse split, combination, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, exchange (other than an Exchange) or other transaction.

Any notice, statement, demand, claim, offer or other written instrument required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing signed by the Party giving such notice and shall be sent by facsimile, email, hand messenger delivery, overnight courier service, or certified mail (receipt requested) to each other Party at the address set forth below; provided that to be effective any such notice sent originally by facsimile or email must be followed within two (2) Business Days by a copy of such notice sent by overnight courier service:
