EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS NOTE IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE.

(b) Upon the written demand of one or more of the Continental Holders made at any time following the third anniversary of the consummation of the Company’s IPO (a “Continental Demand Notice”), the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement either (i) a non-shelf registered offering of the Registrable Securities requested by the Continental Holders to be included in such offering, or (ii) an underwritten “takedown” of Registrable Securities off of an effective shelf registration statement, as applicable; provided that (i) the market value, based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Continental Demand Notice, of the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by the Continental Holders that are requested in such Demand Notice to be included in such registered offering or underwritten takedown, as applicable, is at least $40,000,000 and (ii) the Continental Holders shall be entitled to only one such registration/takedown.

(c) Any demanded non-shelf registered offering may, at the Company’s option, include Shares to be sold by the Company for its own account and will also, other than in connection with the Company’s IPO, include Registrable Securities to be sold by Securityholders that exercise their related piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof and any other Registrable Securities to be sold by the holders of registration rights granted other than pursuant to this Agreement exercising such rights, in each case, to the extent exercising such rights on a timely basis. In order to be valid, the Demand Notice must provide the information described in Section 3.1 hereof (if applicable) and Section 4.5 hereof or be followed by such information, when requested as contemplated by Section 4.5 hereof.

(d) Without limiting any other obligations of the Company hereunder, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 60 days after receiving a valid Demand Notice satisfying the criteria set forth in Section 2.2 hereof, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement covering all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Notice as well as any other Registrable Securities as to which registration is properly requested in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof (which other Registrable Securities may be included by means of a pre-effective amendment) and any other registrable securities properly requested in accordance with other registration rights agreements with the Company, but subject in each case to any cutbacks imposed in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof and the limitations set forth in Section 2.7 hereof.

2.3 Right to Piggyback on a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. After the Company’s IPO, in connection with any registered offering of Shares covered by a non-shelf registration statement (whether pursuant to the exercise of demand rights or at the initiative of the Company), the Securityholders may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such offering Registrable Securities held by them, subject in each case to any cutbacks imposed in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof and the limitations set forth in Section 2.7 hereof; provided that the Continental Holders shall only be entitled to exercise such piggyback rights in connection with any registered underwritten offering in which Blackstone participates. The Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement any such non-shelf registered offering.

2.4 Right to Demand and be Included in a Shelf Registration. Upon the demand of Blackstone, made at any time and from time to time when the Company is eligible to utilize Form S-3 or a successor form to sell Shares in a secondary offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a shelf registration of Registrable Securities held by the Securityholders.

2.6 Right to Reload a Shelf. Upon the approval of the board of directors of the Company, the Company will file and seek the effectiveness of a post-effective amendment to an existing shelf in order to register up to the number of Registrable Securities previously taken down off of such shelf by all Securityholders and not yet “reloaded” onto such shelf. The board of directors of the Company (or certain designated members thereof) will consult and coordinate with Blackstone in order to accomplish such replenishments from time to time in a sensible manner.

2.7 Limitations on Demand and Piggyback Rights.

(a) Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering or takedown, and the exercise of any piggyback registration rights, will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lockup arrangements, and any such demand must be deferred until such lockup arrangements no longer apply. If a demand has been made for a non-shelf registered offering or for an underwritten takedown, no further demands may be made so long as the related offering is still being pursued. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Securityholders will not have piggyback or other registration rights with respect to the following registered primary offerings by the Company: (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans; (ii) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 (or other similar successor forms then in effect under the Securities Act); (iii) a registration pursuant to which the Company is offering to exchange its own Securities for other Securities; (iv) a registration statement relating solely to dividend reinvestment or similar plans; (v) a shelf registration statement pursuant to which only the initial purchasers and subsequent transferees of debt securities of the Company or any Subsidiary that are convertible for Interests or Common Stock and that are initially issued pursuant to Rule 144A and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act may resell such notes and sell the common equity into which such notes may be converted; (vi) a registration where the Registrable Securities are not being sold for cash or (vii) an Exchange Registration.

(b) The Company may postpone the filing of a demanded registration statement (other than in connection with the Company’s IPO) or suspend the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement for a reasonable “blackout period” not in excess of 90 days if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that such registration or offering could materially interfere with a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction of the Company or is reasonably likely to require premature disclosure of information, the premature disclosure of which could materially and adversely affect the Company; provided that the Company shall not delay the filing of any demanded registration statement more than once in any 12-month period. The blackout period will end upon the earlier to occur of, (i) in the case of a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction, a date not later than 90 days from the date such deferral commenced, and (ii) in the case of disclosure of non-public information, the earlier to occur of (x) the filing by the Company of its next succeeding Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or (y) the date upon which such information is otherwise disclosed.

ARTICLE III

NOTICES, CUTBACKS AND OTHER MATTERS

3.1 Notifications Regarding Registration Statements. In order for Blackstone or the Continental Holders, as applicable, to exercise their right to demand that a registration statement be filed, they must include in their Demand Notice the number of Registrable Securities sought to be registered and the proposed plan of distribution.

3.2 Notifications Regarding Registration Piggyback Rights.

(a) In the event that the Company receives (i) any demand from Blackstone or the Continental Holders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, or (ii) if the Company files a registration statement with respect to a non-shelf registered offering, the Company will promptly give to each of the Securityholders a written notice thereof no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Company of such demand or the filing of such registration statement, as applicable. Any Securityholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to any such non-shelf registration statement must notify the Company and the other Securityholders of the number of Registrable Securities it seeks to have included in such registration statement in a written notice. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day prior to (i) if applicable, the date on which the preliminary prospectus intended to be used in connection with pre-effective marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized, and (ii) in any case, the date on which the pricing of the relevant offering is expected to occur. No such notice is required in connection with a shelf registration statement, as Registrable Securities held by all Securityholders will be included up to the applicable percentage.

(b) Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective non-shelf registration.

3.3 Notifications Regarding Demanded Underwritten Takedowns.

(a) The Company will keep the Securityholders reasonably apprised of all pertinent aspects of any underwritten shelf takedown demanded by Blackstone or the Continental Holders, as applicable, in order that Securityholders may have a reasonable opportunity to exercise their related piggyback rights. Without limiting the Company’s obligation as described in the preceding sentence, having a reasonable opportunity requires that the Securityholders be notified by the Company of an anticipated underwritten takedown (whether pursuant to a demand made by Blackstone or the Continental Holders, as applicable, or made at the Company’s own initiative) no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) if applicable, the second Business Day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for such takedown is finalized, and (ii) in all cases, the second Business Day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs.

(b) Any Securityholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to an underwritten shelf takedown must notify the Company and the other Securityholders of the number of Registrable Securities it seeks to have included in such takedown. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) if applicable, the Business Day prior to the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized, and (ii) in all cases, the Business Day prior to the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs.

(c) Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective underwritten takedown.

3.4 Plan of Distribution, Underwriters, Advisors and Counsel. If a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in an underwritten offering through a non-shelf registration statement or through a shelf takedown is being sold by the Company for its own account, the Company will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters and any provider of advisory services, which may include Affiliates of Blackstone, for such offering. Otherwise, Blackstone, if participating in such offering (or Securityholders holding a majority of the Shares requested to be included if Blackstone is not participating in such offering), will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters and any provider of advisory services, which may include Affiliates of Blackstone; provided that such investment banker or bankers, managers and providers of advisory services shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), and will also be entitled to select counsel for the selling Securityholders (which may be the same as counsel for the Company).

3.5 Cutbacks. If the managing underwriters advise the Company and the selling Securityholders that, in their opinion, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the amount that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the Registrable Securities being offered, the price that will be paid in such offering or the marketability thereof, such offering will include only the number of Registrable Securities that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering. If the Company is selling Registrable Securities for its own account in such offering and the offering is not being made on account of a demand made by Blackstone or the Continental Holders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, the Company will have first priority. To the extent of any remaining capacity, and in all other cases, the selling Securityholders (and any other Persons having registration rights pari passu with the Securityholders and participating in such offering) and the Company will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities initially requested by them to be included in such offering, without distinguishing between Securityholders (or other Persons exercising pari passu registration rights) based on who made the demand for such offering or otherwise.

3.6 Withdrawals. Even if Registrable Securities held by a Securityholder have been part of a registered underwritten offering, such Securityholder may, no later than the time at which the public offering price and underwriters’ discount are determined with the managing underwriter, decline to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities being offered for its account.

3.7 Lockups. In connection with any underwritten offering of Shares, the Company and each Securityholder will agree (in the case of Securityholders, with respect to Registrable Securities respectively held by them) to be bound by the underwriting agreement’s lockup restrictions (which must apply in like manner to all of them) that are agreed to by the Company. In addition, the Securityholders shall be bound by their obligations with respect to any lockup arrangements or other restrictions on transfer of Registrable Securities set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 hereof, the indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made or may be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of the action. The failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations in this Article V, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. If any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume defense of the action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in connection with the action’s defense other than reasonable costs of investigation. An indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such indemnified party’s expense unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within thirty (30) days after notice of any such action or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to all local counsel which is necessary, in the good faith opinion of both counsel for the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party in order to adequately represent the indemnified parties) for the indemnified party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Whether or not a defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff, to the indemnified party, of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the indemnified party.

5.4 Contribution. If the indemnification required by this Article V from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any indemnifiable losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefit of the indemnifying and indemnified parties and (ii) if the allocation in clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) and also the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties, in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by a party shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it bear to the total amounts (including, in the case of any underwriter, any underwriting commissions and discounts) received by each other party. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damage, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Company and Securityholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the prior provisions of this Section 5.4.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.4, no indemnifying party shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities were offered to the public by such indemnifying party exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of an untrue statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such a fraudulent misrepresentation.

ARTICLE VI

OTHER AGREEMENTS

6.1 Assignment. Neither the Company nor any Securityholder shall assign all or any part of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company and Blackstone; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Blackstone may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to (x) any of its Affiliates and/or (y) any Person who becomes a holder of Registrable Securities upon a distribution by Blackstone of shares of Class A Common Stock or LP Units to its members, limited partners or stockholders that becomes a party hereto by executing and delivering an assignment and joinder agreement to the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

6.2 Merger or Consolidation. In the event the Company engages in a merger or consolidation in which the Registrable Securities are converted into securities of another company, appropriate arrangements will be made so that the registration rights provided under this Agreement continue to be provided to Securityholders by the issuer of such securities. To the extent such new issuer, or any other company acquired by the Company in a merger or consolidation, was bound by registration rights obligations that would conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will, unless Securityholders then holding at least 90% of the Registrable Securities otherwise agree, use its commercially reasonable efforts to modify any such “inherited” registration rights obligations so as not to interfere in any material respects with the rights provided under this Agreement. To the extent any such modification of “inherited” registration rights disproportionately and adversely impacts any Securityholder hereunder, such modification shall not be effective as to such Securityholder without the consent of such Securityholder.

6.3 Limited Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the members, general partners, limited partners or managing directors, or any directors or officers of any members, general or limited partner, advisory director, nor any future members, general partners, limited partners, advisory directors, or managing directors, if any, of any Securityholder shall have any personal liability for performance of any obligation of such Securityholder under this Agreement in excess of the respective capital contributions of such members, general partners, limited partners, advisory directors or managing directors to such Securityholder.

6.4 Rule 144. If the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act but is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Securityholder, make publicly available such information) and it will take such further action as any Securityholder may reasonably request, so as to enable such Securityholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Securityholder, the Company will deliver to such Securityholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.4 shall not in any way limit or otherwise modify any applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

6.5 In-Kind Distributions. If any Securityholder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities to its direct or indirect equityholders, the Company will, subject to applicable lockups, work with such Securityholder and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Securityholder.

This Agreement will terminate as to any Securityholder when it no longer holds any Registrable Securities.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.5(a) hereof to the contrary, if the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement grants to any other holders of its securities (other than any new Blackstone Holders becoming party hereto after the date hereof) any rights to request or cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act or offering or sale of any such securities on any terms materially more favorable to such holders than the terms set forth in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall, upon the request of Blackstone, be deemed amended or supplemented to the extent necessary to provide Blackstone such more favorable rights and benefits, and, at the election and sole discretion of Blackstone (as evidenced by a written notice to the Company), shall be deemed amended or supplemented to the extent necessary to provide to the Securityholders party hereto other than Blackstone those more favorable rights and benefits as selected by Blackstone to be provided to such other Securityholders and set forth in such written notice.

7.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The registration rights granted under this Agreement supersede any registration, qualification or similar rights with respect to any of the Registrable Securities granted under any other agreement, and any of such preexisting registration rights are hereby terminated.

7.7 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any specific provision of this Agreement shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any of its other provisions. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed reformed, if practicable, to the extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable and to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the intent of the parties to this Agreement.

7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, including by means of facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

7.9 Additional Holders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may from time to time add additional holders of Registrable Securities of the Company as parties to this Agreement with the consent of Blackstone and without the consent or additional signatures of any other holders of Registrable Securities hereunder.

7.10 Equitable Remedies.

It is accordingly hereby agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to restrain, enjoin and prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other parties and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies to which the other parties are entitled to at law or in equity.

12. Membership Interests.

(a) Types of Interests. The Interests in the Company shall be of two series, issuable to, and owned by the Members, referred to herein as (i) the “Series A Interests”, which have a right and interest exclusively in the Class A Common Stock of IPO Corp (as such stock may be reclassified or otherwise converted, the “Class A Common Stock”) that is owned by the Company as of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution and Purchase Agreement (and the proceeds from any disposition, redemption or repurchase thereof and dividends thereon), and (ii) the “Series B Interests”, which have an exclusive right and interest in the Class B Common Stock of IPO Corp (as such stock may be reclassified or otherwise converted, the “Class B Common Stock”) that is owned by the Company as of the date hereof (and the proceeds from any disposition, redemption or repurchase thereof and dividends thereon). Schedule A hereto sets forth the number of issued and outstanding Series A Interests and Series B Interests, as well as the identity of the “Series A Members” and the “Series B Members.” The Company shall at all times maintain a one-to-one correspondence between (i) the number of Series A Interests outstanding and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time held by the Company and (ii) the number of Series B Interests outstanding and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock from time to time held by the Company.

(b) Surrender of Interests; Redemption of Shares. Each Series A Member may from time to time, but no earlier than one year from the date hereof, surrender all or a portion of its Series A Interests in order to receive, in redemption thereof, a corresponding number of the shares of Class A Common Stock then held by the Company, which distribution shall be made promptly following the receipt of such notice. In lieu of such permitted redemption, any Series A Member may direct the Company to sell such shares of Class A Common Stock on behalf of such Member, and in such event the Company shall promptly (i) sell such shares of Class A Common Stock in the manner directed by such Member and (ii) deliver the net proceeds of such sale to such Member in redemption of a number of such Series A Units corresponding to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are sold. Each Series B Member may, at any time, surrender all or a portion of its Series B Interests in order to receive, in redemption thereof, a corresponding portion of the shares of Class B Common Stock Corp then held by the Company.

13. Dispositions of Interests.

(a) No Member, nor any spouse of a Member, Personal Representative of a Member or legal representative or agent of a Member, may, except with the consent of the Managing Member, transfer of all or any portion of such Member’s membership interest (an “Interest”), other than (i) in accordance with Section 12(b) or (ii) a Permitted Transfer (as defined below). Each of the Members agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Company and the Members. In the case of any Permitted Transfer, the transferee will become a substitute member at the written direction of the transferor without the need for any further consent or approval.

(b) “Permitted Transfer” means a transfer of a Member’s Interest to (x) a Person directly or indirectly (through one or more intermediaries) controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Member; (b) a Person owning, owned by, or under common ownership with such Member; or (c) an officer, director, partner or member, or a member of the immediate family of an officer, director, partner or member, of such Member. “Control” means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise and “ownership” means ownership of ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding voting securities or beneficial interest. “Person means” any natural person, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, corporation (including a not for profit corporation), any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, business trust, estate, cooperative or other association or business entity.

14. Additional Contributions. The Members are not required to make any additional capital contributions to the Company.

15. Allocation of Profits and Losses. For capital account purposes, except as provided below, the Company’s profits and losses with respect to (i) the Class A Common Stock shall be allocated pro rata to the Series A Members in accordance with their ownership of Series A Interests and (ii) the Class B Common Stock shall be allocated pro rata to the Series B Members in accordance with their ownership of Series B Interests. The Managing Member shall maintain the capital accounts of the Members in accordance with the principles and requirements set forth in Section 704(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). This Section 15 shall be deemed to contain a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2) and a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding items of profits and losses are allocated for capital account purposes; provided that in the case of any asset subject to Section 704(c) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to an asset shall be allocated solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Sections 704(b) and (c) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (in any manner determined by the Managing Member and permitted by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and consented to by a majority in interest of the Series A Members). The Company is intended to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no election to the contrary shall be made.

16. Distributions. Distributions to the Series A Members (that do not involve redemptions of Series A Interests as contemplated by Section 12(b)) shall track any distributions or proceeds with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Company, and distributions to the Series B Members (that do not involve redemptions of Series B Interests as contemplated by Section 12(b)) shall track any distributions or proceeds with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Company. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law.

17. Management. The business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the sole, absolute and exclusive direction of the Managing Member. The Managing Member shall have the sole power to manage or cause the management of the Company, consistent with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 hereof. The Managing Member shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and any similar provisions under state, local or foreign tax law). Except as provided to the contrary in this Agreement or the Act, any action to be taken by the Company shall require the consent of the Managing Member. Any action so approved may be taken by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company and any action so taken shall bind the Company. Except as expressly provided herein, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, no Member who is not also a Managing Member shall have any right to vote on any matter involving the Company, including with respect to any merger, consolidation, combination or conversion of the Company, or any other matter that a Member might otherwise have the ability to vote or consent with respect to under the Act, at law, in equity or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company will not sell, transfer, pledge or encumber any shares of Class A Common Stock held by it, other than a distribution to a Series A Member, without the prior written consent of a majority in interest of the Series A Members, and (ii) the Company will vote shares of Class A Common Stock held by it in accordance with directions received from the Series A Members, provided notice of any such direction is given to the Company by the Series A Members at least two business days prior to any applicable vote. The Managing Member will have the sole and exclusive authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to direct the voting of the Class B Common Stock held by the Company. Upon the withdrawal from the Company or voluntary resignation of the last remaining Managing Member, all of the powers formerly vested therein pursuant to this Agreement and the Act shall be exercised by a majority in interest of the Members.

18. Officers. The Managing Member may, from time to time as it deems advisable, employ and retain persons as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business (subject to the supervision and control of the Member), including employees and agents who may be designated as officers (each, an “Officer”) with titles, including, but not limited to, “chairman,” “chief executive officer,” “president,” “vice president,” “treasurer,” “secretary,” “managing director,” “chief financial officer,” “assistant treasurer” and “assistant secretary” as and to the extent authorized by the Member.

19. Other Business. The Managing Member, in its capacity as such, may not engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures (unconnected with the Company) of any kind or description, independently or with others, other than holding the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock, proceeds thereof, and activities ancillary thereto. The Company shall not have any rights in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits therefrom by virtue of this Agreement.

20. Exculpation and Indemnification. No Member nor any Officer shall be liable to the Company, or any other person or entity who has an interest in the Company, for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Member or Officer in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Member or Officer by this Agreement, except that the Member or Officer shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Member’s or Officer’s willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Member or Officer shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such member or Officer by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Member or Officer in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Member or Officer by this Agreement, except that neither the Member nor any Officer shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Member or Officer by reason of willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 20 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall not have personal liability on account thereof.

21. Assignment. No Member may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any portion of such Member’s interest in the Company without the consent of the Managing Member or as otherwise provided in Section 13(a) of this Agreement.

22. Resignation. Any member may resign from the Company with the written consent of the remaining members. If a member is permitted to resign pursuant to this Section 22, an additional member shall be admitted to the Company, subject to Section 3(c), upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the resignation, and, immediately following such admission, the resigning member shall cease to be a member of the Company.

23. Dissolution.

(a) The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the written consent of the Managing Member, which if delivered prior to the first year anniversary of the date of this Agreement shall require the consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the Series A Members; (ii) the retirement, resignation or dissolution the Members and all other future members, if any, or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the Members and all future members, if any, in the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in a manner permitted by the Act; or (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

(b) The bankruptcy of a Member or any future member will not cause such member to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Company shall continue without dissolution.

(c) In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act; provided, however, that (i) the Class A Common Stock (and any proceeds deriving therefrom) shall in any case be distributed among the Series A Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as reflected on Schedule A, as in effect on the date of dissolution and (ii) the Class B Common Stock (and any proceeds deriving therefrom) shall in any case be distributed to the Series B Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as reflected on Schedule A, as in effect on the date of dissolution.

24. Separability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal.

25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original of this Agreement.

26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Member with respect to the subject matter hereof.

27. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws or principles).

28. Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, altered, supplemented or amended, except pursuant to a written agreement executed and delivered by the Members and all other persons, if any, who are then members of the Company.
