Each such exchange of Units and Class B Stock for Class A Stock shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a taxable exchange of the Member’s Units for Class A Stock and corresponding payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. (b) In order to exercise the exchange right under Section 3.6(a), the exchanging Member shall present and surrender the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Units and shares of Class B Stock (in each case, if certificated) during usual business hours at the principal executive offices of the Managing Member, or if any agent for the registration or transfer of shares of Class B Stock is then duly appointed and acting (the “Transfer Agent”), at the office of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice (the “Exchange Notice”) to the Managing Member and the Transfer Agent stating that the exchanging Member elects to exchange with the Company a stated number of Units and shares of Class B Stock represented, if applicable, by such certificate or certificates, to the extent specified in such notice, and (if the Class A Stock to be received is to be issued other than in the name of the exchanging Member) specifying the name(s) of the Person(s) in whose name or on whose order the Class A Stock is to be issued. (c) If required by the Managing Member, any Exchange Notice shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Member or such Member’s duly authorized representative. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and the surrender to the Managing Member or Transfer Agent, if applicable, of the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Units and shares of Class B Stock (but in any event by the Exchange Date, as defined below), the Managing Member shall issue and deliver to the Company, and the Company shall deliver to such Member, or on such Member’s written order, the number of full shares of Class A Stock issuable upon such exchange, and the Company shall deliver such shares of Class B Stock, which shall be canceled in accordance with the Charter of the Managing Member.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any exchanging Member may withdraw or amend an exchange request, in whole or in part, prior to the effectiveness of the exchange, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (ET), on the business day immediately preceding the Exchange Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable Law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Managing Member or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, specifying (1) the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Units and shares of Class B Stock (if certificated), (2) if any, the number of Units and shares of Class B Stock as to which the Exchange Notice remains in effect and (3) if the Member so determines, a new Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in an Exchange Notice.

(g) In the event one class or series of Pubco Common Stock (the “Existing Securities”) is converted into another class or series of Pubco Common Stock (the “New Securities”), then any Member otherwise entitled to receive Existing Securities upon exchange shall instead be entitled to receive on exchange the amount of the New Securities that such Member would have received if the exchange of Units had occurred immediately before the effective date of such event and the Existing Securities received by such Member had been converted into the New Securities. (h) The Managing Member shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Equity Securities, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of Units and Class B Stock, such number of shares of Class A Stock that shall be issuable upon the exchange of all such outstanding Units and Class B Stock; provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Managing Member from satisfying its obligations in respect of the exchange of the Units for shares of Class A Stock by delivery of purchased shares of Class A Stock which are held in the treasury of the Managing Member. The Managing Member covenants that all shares of Class A Stock that shall be issued upon exchange of Units and Class B Stock shall, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. (i) The issuance of Class A Stock upon exchange of Units and Class B Stock shall be made without charge to the exchanging Members for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided, however, that if any such shares are to be issued in a name other than that of the exchanging Member, then the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Managing Member the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Managing Member that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (j) The Managing Member and the Company agree that, to the extent that a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective and available for the delivery of shares of Class A Stock to be delivered with respect to any exchange, shares that have been registered under the Securities Act shall be delivered in respect of such exchange. In the event that any exchange in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the Member requesting such exchange, the Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such exchange pursuant to any reasonably available exemption from such registration requirements. (k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Disposition Event is approved by the Managing Member and consummated in accordance with applicable Law and the Charter of the Managing Member, then, at the request of the Company or the Managing Member (or following such Disposition Event, its successor), each Member shall be required to exchange with the Company or sell to the purchaser or successor of the Managing Member, at any time thereafter, or simultaneously with, the consummation of such Disposition Event, all of such Member’s Units and shares of Class B Stock; provided that this Section 3.6(k) shall not be applicable if the holders of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the Managing Member that are generally entitled to vote in the election of directors prior to such Disposition Event continue to hold a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity (or its parent) resulting from such Disposition Event in substantially the same proportions as immediately prior to such Disposition Event. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a Disposition Event, in no event shall the Members (other than the Managing Member and its Subsidiaries) be entitled to receive aggregate consideration for each Unit and corresponding share of Class B Stock that is greater than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Stock (it being understood that, for this purpose, payments under or in respect of the Tax Receivable Agreement shall not be considered part of any such consideration). (l) If the Class A Stock is listed on a securities exchange, the Managing Member shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Class A Stock issued upon an exchange of Units to be listed on the same securities exchange at the time of such issuance. (m) No adjustments in respect of dividends or distributions on any Unit will be made on the exchange of any Unit. No exchange pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall impair the right of the exchanging Member to receive any distributions payable on the Units so exchanged in respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, no exchanging Member shall be entitled to receive, in respect of a single record date, distributions or dividends both on Units exchanged by such Member and on Pubco Common Stock received by such Member in such exchange.
