Purchase of the Shares (a) Buyer and Seller agree that the aggregate value of the Company is $17,691,710.65 (the “Closing Consideration”). Additionally, the outstanding indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 1.1(a) (the “Assumed Indebtedness”) shall remain as an obligation of the Company or its Subsidiaties (as applicable) to be repaid and/or converted following the Closing; provided in all cases that such the principal amount of such Assumed Indebtedness shall under no circumstances exceed $11,161,711 in the aggregate.

The Buyer Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, which depends, in part, upon the accuracy of the Seller’s representations as expressed in this Agreement will be “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal securities Laws and may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The shares of Buyer Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and, if certificated, shall bear the following legend (or if held in book entry form, will be noted with a similar restriction): THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
Exchange Consideration On or promptly after an Exchange Date, provided the Partnership Unitholder has satisfied its obligations under Section 2.1(b)(i), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to register electronically in the name of such Partnership Unitholder (or its designee) in book-entry form the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the applicable Exchange, or, if the Company has so elected, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Partnership Unitholder (or its designee), the Cash Settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation (in lieu of the Partnership) to have the Company acquire Exchangeable Units directly from an exchanging Partnership Unitholder in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock or, at the option of the Company, the Cash Settlement. If an exchanging Partnership Unitholder receives the shares of Class A Common Stock or the Cash Settlement that such Partnership Unitholder is entitled to receive from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), the Partnership Unitholder shall have no further right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock from the Partnership or the Company in connection with that Exchange. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.1(c) to the contrary, to the extent the Class A Common Stock is settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the Partnership or the Company will, pursuant to the Exchange Notice submitted by the Partnership Unitholder, deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such exchanging Partnership Unitholder through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such exchanging Partnership Unitholder in the Exchange Notice. Upon any Exchange, the Partnership or the Company, as applicable, shall take such actions as (A) may be required to ensure that such Partnership Unitholder receives the shares of Class A Common Stock or the Cash Settlement that such exchanging Partnership Unitholder is entitled to receive in connection with such Exchange pursuant to this Section 2.1 and (B) may be reasonably within its control that would cause such Exchange to be treated for purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement as an “Exchange” (as such term is defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company elects a Cash Settlement, the Company shall only be obligated to contribute to the Partnership (or, if the Company elects to settle directly pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii), settle directly for an amount equal to), an amount in respect of such Cash Settlement equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the sale by the Company of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Exchangeable Units being Exchanged for such Cash Settlement. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Company shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be treated as paying an appropriate portion of the selling expenses described in the previous sentence as agent for and on behalf of the exchanging Partnership Unitholder.
