(c) No additional Units shall be issued to Gazelle Holdco or any of its Affiliates unless (i) the additional Units are issued to all Members holding Common Units in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Common Units, (ii)(a) the additional Units are (x) Common Units issued in connection with an issuance of Common Stock, or (y) Units (other than Common Units) issued in connection with an issuance of Equity Securities of Parent or other interests in Parent (other than Common Stock), and (b) Gazelle Holdco contributes to the Company the cash proceeds or other consideration received in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock or other Equity Securities or other interests in Parent, (iii) the additional Units are issued upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of Units issued by the Company or (iv) the additional Units are issued pursuant to Section 3.03, Section 3.04, or Section 3.12.

Section 3.03 Incentive Plans. If at any time Parent issues a share of Common Stock under an Incentive Plan whether by the exercise of a stock option (or the exercise of any other instrument that entitles the holder thereof to purchase a share of Common Stock) the grant of a restricted share award, the settlement of a restricted stock unit award or otherwise, the following will occur:

(a) the net proceeds (including the amount of the exercise price paid by the owner or the promissory note representing any loan made by Parent to the owner with respect to a stock purchase award, which promissory note will be deemed to have a Fair Market Value equal to the original principal balance of the promissory note), if any, received by Parent with respect to the share of Common Stock will be paid or transferred by Parent to Gazelle Holdco (including through Intermediate Entities, if applicable) and from Gazelle Holdco to the Company, which amounts will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having been paid to the Company by the person to whom the share of Common Stock is issued;

(b) Gazelle Holdco will be deemed to make an additional Capital Contribution to the Company of an amount of cash equal to:

(i) the Closing Price on the date the share is issued (or, if earlier, the date the related option or other instrument is exercised), reduced by

(ii) the amount paid to the Company as described under subsection (a) above, if any;

(c) Parent will be deemed to sell to Gazelle Holdco (including through Intermediate Entities, if applicable) and Gazelle Holdco will be deemed to sell to the Company a share of Common Stock for an amount of cash equal to the sum of:

(i) the additional deemed Capital Contribution made by Gazelle Holdco to the Company in subsection (b) above, and

(ii) the amount paid to the Company as described under subsection (a) above, if any,

and to deliver such share of Common Stock to its owner under the Incentive Plan (the parties acknowledging that the deemed purchase will not cause the Company to own the shares of Common Stock for any purpose, including for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive dividends or vote);

(d) in exchange for the payment by Gazelle Holdco to the Company described in subsection (a) above and the deemed Capital Contribution by Gazelle Holdco to the Company described in subsection (b) above (which aggregate amount will be credited to the Capital Account of Gazelle Holdco), the Company will issue to Gazelle Holdco a number of Common Units equal to the inverse of the Exchange Rate registered in the name of Gazelle Holdco for each share of Common Stock issued by Parent under the Incentive Plan;

(e) the Company will claim any compensation deductions attributable to the issuance or vesting, as the case may be, of shares of Common Stock and any other deductions available by reason of shares issued pursuant to an Incentive Plan (including, as applicable, as a result of an election under Code Section 83(b)), which deductions will be allocated among the Members in accordance with ARTICLE V;

(f) if the owner of any share of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Incentive Plan has timely made an election under Code Section 83(b) with respect to that share of Common Stock and the share of Common Stock is subsequently forfeited, then each of the actual and deemed steps described in subsections (a) through (e) above with respect to that share of Common Stock will be reversed including the reversion of that share of Common Stock to Parent, the cancellation of the Common Unit issued to Parent and the reversal, if and to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.83-6(c) or other applicable Tax Law, of any compensation deductions previously allocated to the Members; and

(g) if a share of Common Stock issued under an Incentive Plan is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and is not transferable for purposes of Code Section 83, and if a valid election under Code Section 83(b) has not been made with respect to such share of Common Stock, the foregoing transactions shall be deemed to occur for U.S. federal income tax purposes when such share of Common Stock is either transferable or no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Code Section 83. Until such time, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts and computing Profits, Losses and related items), such share of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued and any distributions with respect to such share of Common Stock shall for such purposes be treated as compensation paid to the holder thereof by the Company.

Section 3.04 Common Stock and Other Issuances. If at any time Parent issues a share of Common Stock or any other class or series of Equity Securities of Parent (other than shares of Common Stock under an Incentive Plan), (i) the net proceeds received by Parent with respect to the share of Common Stock or such other Equity Securities, if any, will be paid or transferred by Parent through Intermediate Entities (if applicable) and through Gazelle Holdco to the Company, and (ii) the Company shall issue to Gazelle Holdco a number of Common Units equal to the inverse of the Exchange Rate registered in the name of Gazelle Holdco for each share of Common Stock (or, with respect to any issuance by Parent of Equity Securities other than Common Stock, one Unit that is substantially equivalent to the Equity Securities issued by Parent as determined by the Managing Member) issued by Parent pursuant to the foregoing clause (i); provided, however, that (i) if Parent issues any Equity Securities in order to purchase or fund the purchase of Units by Parent or its wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries from another Member, then the Company shall not issue any new Units in connection therewith and Parent through Intermediate Entities (if applicable) and Gazelle Holdco shall not transfer such net proceeds to the Company (it being understood that such net proceeds shall be transferred to such other Member as consideration for such purchase), (ii) if Parent issues any Common Stock in order to fund any payment by Parent or Gazelle Holdco under the Tax Receivable Agreement, then the Company shall not issue any new Units in connection therewith, Parent through Intermediate Entities (if applicable) and Gazelle Holdco shall not transfer such net proceeds to the Company (it being understood that such net proceeds shall be used to fund such payment) and the Company shall not make any Tax Distribution in order to fund such payment, and (iii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent may issue Common Stock or other Equity Securities in connection with (A) an acquisition from a Person that is not an Affiliate of Parent of Units or a business, property or other asset to be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (and which is contributed to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries), (B) a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Parent, (C) upon a conversion, redemption or exchange of other Equity Securities of Parent, (D) upon a conversion, redemption, exchange of any Debt incurred by or on behalf of Parent, Gazelle Holdco or the Issuer into Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Parent if the proceeds of such Debt are or have previously been provided to the Company, (E) in connection with an acquisition of Units, (F) any recapitalization of Parent, or (G) any merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity that is not an Affiliate of Parent, and any Common Stock or Equity Securities issued in connection with the foregoing clauses (A) through (G) shall constitute “Excluded Securities”. This Section 3.04 shall not apply to the issuance and distribution to holders of shares of Parent common stock of rights to purchase Equity Securities of Parent under a “poison pill” or similar shareholder rights plan (it being understood that upon exchange for Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, such Common Stock would be issued together with a corresponding right), but shall apply to the issuance of Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Parent in connection with the exercise or settlement of such rights, warrants, options or other rights or property.

Section 3.05 Acquisition of Units.

(a) The Company hereby grants to each Impala Holder the right (the “Purchase Right”) to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion of any Units that are proposed to be issued to Gazelle Holdco pursuant to Section 3.04 (other than any Units issuable in respect of any Excluded Securities or shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities of Parent issued pursuant to Section 3.03), provided that solely with respect to any issuance of Common Units with respect to the issuance by Parent of shares of Common Stock, such right shall terminate automatically if Impala (i) exchanges any Common Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement or (ii) otherwise Transfers any Common Units to any Person other than to a Permitted Transferee.

(b) The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance or sale described in Section 3.05(a) to each Impala Holder no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed issuance or sale of any Equity Securities of Parent to which the Purchase Right would be applicable. The Issuance Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance, including:

(i) the number and class of Parent Equity Securities and associated Units to be issued;

(ii) if the Units to be issued are not Common Units, a description of the material terms and conditions of such Units;

(iii) the proposed issuance date; and

(iv) the proposed purchase price per Unit (or equivalent purchase price per Equity Security), or a statement that Units are to be issued on account of Equity Securities of Parent to be issued in an underwritten offering.

(c) Subject to Section 3.05(d), each Holder shall for a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion of the Units proposed to be issued to Gazelle Holdco by delivering a written notice to Parent (an “Exercise Notice”). If, at the termination of such ten (10) Business Day period, a Holder shall not have delivered an Exercise Notice to Parent, such Holder shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 3.05 with respect to the purchase of such Equity Securities of Parent.

(d) The purchase price for each Unit as to which an Exercise Notice is delivered shall be the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice, provided that in the case of an underwritten offering the purchase price for each such Unit shall equal the purchase price payable by investors for each such Equity Security in such underwritten offering, without deduction for any underwriting discount or commission. To the extent an Exercise Notice has been delivered, (i) Parent shall reduce the number of Equity Securities offered by the number of Equity Securities with respect to which an Exercise Notice has been received and (ii) the applicable Impala Holder

shall be entitled to purchase from the Company a number of Units (including, if applicable, Common Units) equal to the number of Equity Securities as to which such Impala Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice, with such Units being substantially equivalent to the Equity Securities issued by Parent. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify each Impala Holder of any change in the number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued in an underwritten offering, and Parent and such Impala Holder shall make equitable adjustments to the Pro Rata Portion applicable to each Impala Holder that are consistent with the purposes of this Section 3.05.

(e) The closing of any purchase by the Impala Holders who have delivered an Exercise Notice shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice; provided, however, that the closing of any purchase by a Holder may be extended beyond the closing of the transaction in the Issuance Notice to the extent necessary to obtain any required approval or consent of a governmental authority or any other third party (and Parent and the Impala Holders shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals).

(f) Upon the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period described in Section 3.05(c), Parent shall be free to sell such Equity Securities that the Impala Holders have not elected irrevocably to purchase on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Holders in the Issuance Notice delivered in accordance with Section 3.05(b).

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Right and the other provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be applicable to any issuance of Equity Securities by Parent, mutatis mutandis, in which case the Exercise Notice delivered by an Impala Holder may elect, other than with respect to an offering of shares of Common Stock (for which the Purchase Right may only be exercised to purchase Common Units), that the Purchase Right is to be exercised by purchasing such Equity Securities of Parent, and upon such an election Section 3.05(d)(ii) shall be inapplicable with respect to such exercise.

Section 3.06 Certificates Representing Units; Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates; Registration and Transfer of Units.

(a) Units shall not be certificated unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member. If the Managing Member determines that one or more Units shall be certificated, each such certificate shall be signed by or in the name of the Company, by the Chief Executive Officer and any other Officer designated by the Managing Member, representing the number of Units held by such holder. Such certificate shall be in such form (and shall contain such legends) as the Managing Member may determine. Any or all of such signatures on any certificate representing one or more Units may be a facsimile, engraved or printed, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Managing Member agrees that it shall not elect to treat any Unit as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code unless thereafter all Units then outstanding are represented by one or more certificates.

(b) If Units are certificated, the Managing Member may direct that a new certificate representing one or more Units be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon delivery to the Managing Member of an affidavit of the owner or owners of such certificate, setting forth such allegation. The Managing Member may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

(c) Upon surrender to the Company or the transfer agent of the Company, if any, of a certificate for one or more Units, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, in compliance with the provisions hereof, the Company shall issue a new certificate representing one or more Units to the Person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Managing Member may prescribe such additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to the issue, Transfer and registration of Units.

Section 3.07 Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall be required to pay to any other Member or the Company any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the Company).

Section 3.08 No Withdrawal. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Person’s Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Section 3.09 Loans from Members. Loans by Members to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.01, the amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

Section 3.10 Repurchase or Redemption of Parent Equity Securities If at any time any Equity Securities of Parent are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired (whether by exercise of a put or call, upon forfeiture of any award granted under any Incentive Plan, automatically or by means of any other arrangement) by Parent, then the Managing Member shall cause the Company, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition, to redeem, repurchase or acquire a corresponding number of the Units held by Gazelle Holdco that correspond to such Equity Securities multiplied by the inverse of the Exchange Rate, at an aggregate repurchase or redemption price equal to the aggregate repurchase or redemption price of the Equity Securities being redeemed, repurchased or acquired (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the Equity Securities being redeemed, repurchased or acquired.

Section 3.11 Parent Right to Purchase Company Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, on and for 90 days after the date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of Impala and its Affiliates are less than the Threshold Percentage for more than a calendar quarter, Parent, directly or through one or more Subsidiaries (including Gazelle Holdco or Intermediate Entities), shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Common Units held by Impala and its Affiliates by treating each of Impala and its Affiliates as a party who has delivered a Notice of Exchange (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Exchange Agreement in respect of all of Impala and its Affiliate’s Units, by notice to Impala and its Affiliates, as applicable, that Parent

has elected to exercise its rights under this Section 3.11 and that Gazelle Holdco has elected to provide a Call Election Notice (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) in respect of a Cash Election Payment (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) for all of the outstanding Common Units held by Impala and its Affiliates. Such notice given by Parent to Impala or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 3.11 shall be treated as (i) a Call Election Notice delivered in response to a Notice of Exchange delivered to Parent and the Company by Impala and its Affiliates (ii) a Call Election Notice in respect of a Cash Election Payment (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) in respect of all of the outstanding Common Units held by Impala and its Affiliates and (iii) waiver by Parent and the Company of all requirements or limitations in Section 2.01(a) of the Exchange Agreement in respect to an exchange thereunder. Such notice given by Parent shall specify an Exchange Date (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) in respect of an exchange pursuant to this Section 3.11 that is no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of such notice. For purposes of this Section 3.11, Section 2.02 (other than Section 2.02(c)) of the Exchange Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

Section 3.12 Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Stock Incentive Plan or Other Plan. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Article III, all amounts retained or deemed received by Parent in respect of any dividend reinvestment plan, stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, shall either (a) be utilized by Parent to effect open market purchases of its capital stock or (b) be contributed by Parent through Gazelle Holdco and through, if applicable, Intermediate Entities, to Company in exchange for additional Common Units and, upon such contribution, the Company will issue to Gazelle Holdco a number of Common Units equal to the number of newly issued shares of Common Stock, divided by the Exchange Rate then in effect without any further act, approval or vote of any Member or any other Person.

ARTICLE IV

(ii) The amount of any Tax Distribution to a Member pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall be treated as having been made pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amounts that otherwise would be distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 4.01(a).

Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant to such sentence. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.03(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE V, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Period, each Member that has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Period (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Periods) in an amount that equals such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain that is attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant to such sentence. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.03(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) In accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1), any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be specially allocated among the Members in accordance with the Members’ respective Percentage Interests.

(d) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1) and (2).

(e) If any Member unexpectedly received any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), then items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.03(e) shall be made only to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this ARTICLE V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.03(e) were not in this Agreement. This Section 5.03(e) is intended to be a “qualified income offset” provision as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(f) If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Period which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.03(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this ARTICLE V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.03(e) and this Section 5.03(f) were not in this Agreement.

(g) Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset under Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, 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 Members in a manner that is consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Treasury Regulations.

(h) The allocations set forth in Section 5.03(a)-(g), inclusive (the “Regulatory Allocations”), are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.03. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.03 (other than the Regulatory Allocations) to the contrary, the Managing Member shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations

are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement. In exercising its discretion, pursuant to this Section 5.03(h), the Managing Member will take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.

Section 5.04 Tax Allocations.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04(b), as of the end of each Fiscal Period, items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, and expense shall be allocated for U.S. federal, state, and local income tax purposes among the Members in the same manner as the income, gain, loss, deduction, and expense of which such items are components were allocated to Capital Accounts pursuant to this ARTICLE V.

(b) In accordance with the principles of Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, Company income, gains, deductions, and losses with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company or Obligations of the Company shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Fair Market Value or the adjusted issue price of such Obligation and its Book Value, using the “remedial method” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) to the maximum extent permissible under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If Company property is revalued in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) at any time (and the Book Value of the Obligations of the Company are adjusted at the time of such revaluation), subsequent allocations of Company income, gains, deductions and losses with respect to such property’s revaluation and its adjusted basis (and the adjustment of such Obligation’s Gross Liability Value) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the same manner as the variation is taken into consideration under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c) The Managing Member agrees to allocate the “nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a) in a manner that avoids the recognition by the Members of gain pursuant to Code Section 731(a) or reduces the aggregate recognition of such gain by the Members for the relevant Fiscal Period, provided that such allocation shall be subject to the approval of the Impala Holder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 5.05 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.20(e) of the Transaction Agreement, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to pay any amount to a Governmental Entity (or otherwise makes a payment to a Governmental Entity) that is specifically attributable to a Member or a Member’s status as such (including U.S. federal withholding taxes, state personal property taxes and state unincorporated business taxes, but excluding payments such as professional association fees and the like made voluntarily by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on behalf of any Member based upon such Member’s status as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), then such Member shall indemnify the Company or its Subsidiary in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The Managing Member

may offset Distributions to which a Member is otherwise entitled under this Agreement against such Member’s obligation to indemnify the Company or its Subsidiary under this Section 5.05. A Member’s obligation to make contributions to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under this Section 5.05 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and for purposes of this Section 5.05, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be treated as continuing in existence. Each Member hereby agrees to furnish to the Company or its Subsidiaries such information and forms as required or reasonably requested in order to comply with any laws and regulations governing withholding of tax or in order to claim any reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding to which the Member is legally entitled. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pays any amount pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code, or any corresponding provision of state or local law, the Member to which such payment is attributable shall be subject to the indemnification obligations of this Section 5.05.

ARTICLE VI

MANAGEMENT

Section 6.01 Authority of Managing Member.

(a) Except for situations in which the approval of any Member(s) is specifically required by this Agreement, (i) all management powers over the business and affairs of the Company shall be exclusively vested in the Managing Member and (ii) the Managing Member shall conduct, direct and exercise full control over all activities of the Company. The Managing Member shall be the “Manager” of the Company for the purposes of the DLLCA. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Managing Member of all such powers and rights conferred on the Members by the DLLCA with respect to the management and control of the Company. Any vacancies in the position of Managing Member shall be filled in accordance with Section 6.04.

(b) The day-to-day business and operations of the Company shall be overseen and implemented by officers of the Company (each, an “Officer” and collectively, the “Officers”), subject to the limitations imposed by the Managing Member. An Officer may, but need not, be a Member. Each Officer shall be appointed by the Managing Member and shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he or she shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any one Person may hold more than one office. Subject to the other provisions in this Agreement (including in Section 6.07 below), the salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Managing Member. The authority and responsibility of the Officers shall include such duties as the Managing Member may, from time to time, delegate to them and the carrying out of the Company’s business and affairs on a day-to-day basis. The initial officers of the Company shall be those persons appointed and designated by the Managing Member on the date hereof. All Officers shall be, and shall be deemed to be, officers and employees of the Company. An Officer may also perform one or more roles as an officer of the Managing Member.

(c) The Managing Member shall have the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity.

Section 6.02 Actions of the Managing Member. The Managing Member may act through any Officer or through any other Person or Persons to whom authority and duties have been delegated pursuant to Section 6.07.

Section 6.03 Resignation; No Removal. The Managing Member may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Members. Unless otherwise specified in the notice, the resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof by the Members, and the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. For the avoidance of doubt, the Members (other than Gazelle Holdco) have no right under this Agreement to remove or replace the Managing Member.

Section 6.04 Vacancies. Vacancies in the position of Managing Member occurring for any reason shall be filled by Gazelle Holdco (or, if Gazelle Holdco has ceased to exist without any successor or assign, then by the holders of a majority in interest of the voting capital stock of Gazelle Holdco immediately prior to such cessation). For the avoidance of doubt, the Members (other than Gazelle Holdco) have no right under this Agreement to fill any vacancy in the position of Managing Member.

Section 6.05 Transactions between the Company, the Managing Member and Affiliates. The Managing Member may cause the Company to contract and deal with any Subsidiary of the Company on such terms as the Managing Member, the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall determine. Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Managing Member shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to contract or deal with any Affiliate of the Managing Member which is not a Subsidiary of the Company.

Section 6.06 Reimbursement for Expenses. The Managing Member shall not be compensated for its services as Managing Member of the Company except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Members acknowledge and agree that Parent’s Common Stock will be publicly traded and therefore Parent will have access to the public capital markets and that such status and the services performed by Gazelle Holdco, the Intermediate Entities and/or Parent will inure to the benefit of the Company and all Members; therefore, Gazelle Holdco, the Intermediate Entities and/or Parent shall be reimbursed by the Company for any expenses of Parent being a public company (including public reporting obligations, proxy statements, stockholder meetings, stock exchange fees, board fees, transfer agent fees, SEC and FINRA filing fees and offering expenses (but not underwriter discounts, commissions or similar costs)) and maintaining its corporate existence, but excluding any liabilities for taxes. To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by Gazelle Holdco, the Intermediate Entities or Parent on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, if and to the extent any reimbursements to Gazelle Holdco, the Intermediate Entities or Parent by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.06 constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by Parent on behalf of the Company), such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” to Gazelle Holdco within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code and shall not be treated as Distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

Section 6.07 Delegation of Authority. The Managing Member (a) may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons such authority and duties as the Managing Member may deem advisable, and (b) may assign titles (including chief executive officer, president, chief executive officer, chief financial officers, chief operating officer, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer or assistant treasurer) and delegate certain authority and duties to such Persons as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time. Any number of titles may be held by the same individual. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of such agents of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Managing Member, subject to the other provisions in this Agreement.

Section 6.08 Limitation of Liability of Managing Member.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in an agreement entered into by such Person and the Company, neither the Managing Member nor any of the Managing Member’s Affiliates (including Parent and Intermediate Entities) shall be liable to the Company or to any Member that is not the Managing Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by the Managing Member in its capacity as the sole managing member of the Company pursuant to authority granted to the Managing Member by this Agreement or the DLLCA; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, such limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to the Managing Member’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or knowing violation of Law or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by the Managing Member or its Affiliates contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company. The Managing Member may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent (so long as such agent was selected in good faith and with reasonable care). The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure to act by the Managing Member in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the Managing Member to liability to the Company or any Member that is not the Managing Member.

(b) Whenever in this Agreement the Managing Member is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Managing Member shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or other Members (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.08(b) shall limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties under the Governance Agreement).

(c) Whenever in this Agreement the Managing Member is permitted or required to take any action or to make a decision in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Managing Member shall act under such express standard and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any

other agreement contemplated herein, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the Managing Member acts in good faith, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Managing Member shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or impose liability upon the Managing Member or any of the Managing Member’s Affiliates (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.08(c) shall limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties under the Governance Agreement).

Section 6.09 Investment Company Act. The Members shall use their respective best efforts to ensure that the Company shall not be subject to registration as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act.

Section 6.10 Outside Activities of the Managing Member. The Managing Member shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business or operations, or own any assets or incur any liabilities, other than in connection with (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Common Units, (b) the management of the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (c) the operation of the Managing Member as a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under Section 12 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and listed on a securities exchange, (d) the offering, sale, syndication, private placement or public offering of stock, bonds, securities or other interests, (e) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their assets or activities, and (f) such activities as are incidental to the foregoing; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, the net proceeds of any financing raised by Parent, Intermediate Entities, the Managing Member or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the preceding clauses (d) and (e) shall be made available to the Company, whether as Capital Contributions, loans or otherwise, in the same form and on terms no less favorable to the Company than the terms on which such financing was obtained by Parent, Intermediate Entities, the Managing Member or their applicable Affiliate.

ARTICLE VII

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS

Section 7.01 Limitation of Liability and Duties of Members.

(a) Except as provided in this Agreement or in the DLLCA, no Member (including the Managing Member) shall be obligated personally for any debts, obligation or liability solely by reason of being a Member or acting as the Managing Member of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the DLLCA shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the Company.

(b) In accordance with the DLLCA and the laws of the State of Delaware, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. To the extent that a Member may be obligated under the DLLCA or other Delaware law to return to or for the benefit of the Company any Distribution made by the Company to or for the benefit of such Member, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, such obligation shall be deemed to be compromised within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the DLLCA so that, except as

required by Law, the Members to whom money or property is distributed shall not be obligated to return such money or property to the Company or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.

Section 7.02 Lack of Authority. No Member, other than the Managing Member or a duly appointed Officer, in each case in its capacity as such, has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the Company, to do any act that would be binding on the Company or to make any expenditure on behalf of the Company. The Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Managing Member and the Officers of the powers conferred on them by Law and this Agreement.

Section 7.03 No Right of Partition. No Member, other than the Managing Member, shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of Law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company.

Section 7.04 Indemnification.

(a) Generally. The Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding including any appeal therefrom (a “Proceeding”), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether brought in the name of the Company or otherwise, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a manager, officer or employee of the Company, or while a manager, officer or employee of the Company is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, not-for-profit entity, joint venture, trust or other enterprise including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity or (in the case of a present or former manager, officer, employee or agent) in any other capacity while serving as a manager, officer, employee or agent, and may indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such a Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become an agent of the Company, or while an agent of the Company is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, not-for-profit entity, joint venture, trust or other enterprise including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities, loss, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 7.04(e), the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify a manager, officer or employee of the Company in respect of a Proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such Person, unless such Proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized by the Managing Member.

(b) Successful Defense. To the extent that a present or former manager, officer or employee of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 7.04(a) hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection therewith.

(c) Determination that Indemnification is Proper. Any indemnification of a present or former manager, officer or employee of the Company under Section 7.04(a) hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former manager, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct required by Delaware law to be indemnified. Any indemnification of a present or former agent of the Company under Section 7.04(a) hereof (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Company upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct required by Delaware law to be indemnified. Any such determination shall be made, with respect to a Person who is a manager or officer at the time of such determination by the Managing Member.

(d) Advance Payment of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a current or former manager or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that an advancement of expenses incurred by a current manager or officer in his or her capacity as a manager or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was rendered by such manager or officer) shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such manager or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such manager or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 7.04(d) or otherwise. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. The Managing Member may authorize the Company’s counsel to represent such manager, officer, employee or agent in any Proceeding, whether or not the Company is a party to such Proceeding.

(e) Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification of a manager, officer or employee under Sections 7.04(a) and (b), or advance of costs, charges and expenses to a present or former manager or officer under Section 7.04(d), shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of such Person. If the Company denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Section 7.04 shall be enforceable by the manager, officer or employee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such Person’s costs and expenses (a) incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding, or (b) incurred in connection with successfully defending, in whole or in part, a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to an undertaking, shall also be indemnified by the Company. (i) It shall be a defense to any such Proceeding brought by a Person seeking to enforce his or her right to indemnification (but shall not be a defense in an action brought to enforce a claim for the advancement of costs, charges and expenses under Section 7.04(d) where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Company), and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to an undertaking upon

a final adjudication of an action for such recovery, that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct required by Delaware law to be indemnified, but the burden of proving the failure to meet such standard of conduct shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its mangers, its independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct required by Delaware law to be indemnified, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Company (including its managers, its independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(f) Survival; Preservation of Other Rights. The foregoing indemnification and advancement provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each Person who is or was or has agreed to become a manager, officer or employee who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the DLLCA are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any Proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a “contract right” may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such manager, officer or employee.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Section 7.04 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified or advanced expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of Members or managers or otherwise, both as to action in such Person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a manager, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Person.

(g) Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was or has agreed to become a manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person or on such Person’s behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Section 7.04.

(h) Severability. If this Section 7.04 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each manager, officer or employee and may indemnify each agent of the Company as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to a Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 7.04 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law

Section 7.05 Members Right to Act. For matters that require the approval of the Members, the Members shall act through meetings and written consents as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below:

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, acts by the Members holding a majority of the Voting Units (which shall in all cases include the Managing Member) voting together as a single class, shall be the acts of the Members. Any Member entitled to vote at a meeting of Members or to express consent or dissent to Company action in writing without a meeting may authorize another Person or Persons to act for it by proxy. An electronic mail or similar transmission by the Member, or a photographic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the Member shall (if stated thereon) be treated as a proxy executed in writing for purposes of this Section 7.05(a). No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven (11) months from the date thereof, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and that the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or, if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the votes that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.

(b) The actions by the Members permitted hereunder may be taken at a meeting called by the Managing Member or by the Members holding a majority of the Voting Units entitled to vote on such matter on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Members entitled to vote, which notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called. The actions taken by the Members entitled to vote or consent at any meeting (as opposed to by written consent), however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or after the meeting, the Members entitled to vote or consent as to whom it was improperly held signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The actions by the Members entitled to vote or consent may be taken by vote of the Members entitled to vote or consent at a meeting or by written consent, so long as such consent is signed by Members having not less than the minimum number of Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the action so taken, which shall state the purpose or purposes for which such consent is required and may be delivered via email, without a meeting shall be given to those Members entitled to vote or consent who have not consented in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken by such written consent. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent of the Members shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Members at a meeting thereof.

Section 7.06 Inspection Rights.

make copies thereof or extracts therefrom, or (iii) consult with the Managing Members, Officers, employees and independent accountants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries concerning the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The presentation of an executed written consent of the Managing Member by any Member to the Company’s independent accountants shall constitute the Company’s permission to its independent accountants to participate in discussions with such Persons and their respective designated representatives. No Member, unless permitted by the Managing Member, shall have any inspection rights under Section 18-305 of the DLLCA.

TAX MATTERS

Section 9.01 Preparation of Tax Returns.

(a) The Managing Member shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company, including arranging for the preparation of such tax return by an accounting firm or other qualified adviser. The cost of such preparation and filing shall be borne by the Company.

(b) Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall make any decisions with respect to tax elections or other decisions relating to taxes of the Company; provided that the Managing Member shall ensure that, effective with respect to the first Exchange (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company and any of its eligible Subsidiaries will have in effect an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (and under any similar provisions of applicable U.S. state or local law); and provided, further, however, that in the case of any election that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Impala that is material and disproportionate as to its effect on Impala (as compared to its effect on Parent), such election shall not be made without the consent of Impala, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Managing Member shall cause

the Company to furnish to each Member (i) as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of each Fiscal Year such information concerning the Company as is reasonably required for the preparation of such Member’s income tax returns and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of each of the Company’s first three fiscal quarters of each Fiscal Year, such information concerning the Company as is reasonably required to enable the Member to calculate and pay estimated taxes, and (iii) information (including a Schedule K-1 and any comparable foreign, state and local tax forms, and book and tax basis information for the Company’s assets sufficient to allow such Member to satisfy its own obligations and make its own computations, allocations and adjustments under Sections 704(b), 704(c) and 754 of the Code) as shall be necessary to enable each Member to prepare its income tax returns and shall provide such information no later than five Business Days after the filing of the Company’s appropriate tax returns.

Section 9.02 Tax Controversies. The Managing Member is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” of the Company (the “Partnership Representative”) for purposes of Section 6223 of the Code and all applicable non-U.S. tax purposes. The Partnership Representative shall have the right to designate the individual or individuals through whom the Partnership Representative will act. In the event of any examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, the Managing Member shall control the conduct of such examinations at the Company’s expense and shall expend Company funds for professional services reasonably incurred in connection therewith; provided, that the Managing Member shall promptly provide each other Member a written notice informing the Members that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, is the subject of an examination by a tax authority with respect to a material tax return or that could result in a material amount of taxes (including taxes imposed on Members), shall keep each other Member reasonably informed of material developments relating to such examination and not settle such examination, to the extent relating to a matter that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on any Member that is material and disproportionate as to its effect on other Members or their Affiliates, without the consent of such adversely affected Member, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that in no event shall the Partnership Representative settle any examination without the consent of Impala if such settlement relates to the treatment of Impala’s transfer of assets and liabilities to the Company. Unless otherwise approved by all Members, in the event of an audit by the IRS, the Partnership Representative shall make, on a timely basis, the election provided by Section 6226(a) of the Code, and any corresponding elections applicable for state and local tax purposes, to treat a “partnership adjustment” as an adjustment to be taken into account by each Member in accordance with Section 6226(b) of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the Members that the Company be required to pay no amount pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code, or pursuant to any corresponding provision of state or local Law, but if the Company does pay such an amount then the provisions of Section 5.05 shall apply.

ARTICLE X

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF UNITS; PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 10.01 Transfers by Members. No Holder may Transfer or permit the Transfer of any interest in any Units, except Transfers (a) pursuant to and in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, (b) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.02, or (c) approved in writing by the Managing Member provided that the Managing Member shall not approve a Transfer by itself or any of its Affiliates (other than pursuant to the Drag-Along Right) for consideration other than cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Transfer” shall not include (A) an event that terminates the existence of a Member for income tax purposes (including a change in entity classification of a Member under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3, termination of a partnership pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, a sale of assets by, or liquidation of, a Member pursuant to an election under Sections 336 or 338 of the Code, or merger, severance, or allocation within a trust or among sub-trusts of a trust that is a Member), but that does not in each case terminate the existence of such Member under applicable state law (or, in the case of a trust that is a Member, does not terminate the trusteeship of the fiduciaries under such trust with respect to all the Company Interests of such trust that is a Member), (B) transfers of publicly-traded Equity Securities of Parent by holders of such Equity Securities, or (C) transfers of publicly-traded Equity Securities of Impala by holders of such Equity Securities.

Section 10.02 Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in Section 10.01 shall not apply to any Transfer (each, together with any Transfer pursuant to and in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, a “Permitted Transfer”) pursuant to (i) a Transfer by a Member to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) Section 10.05 or (iii) a Transfer to an Affiliate of such Member for so long as the transferee remains an Affiliate of such Member; provided, however, that (A) the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to apply to Units after any Permitted Transfer of such Units, and (B) in the case of the foregoing clause (iii), the transferees of the Units so Transferred shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, the transferor will deliver a written notice to the Company and the Members, which will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed transferee. If a Member Transfers Units pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii) and, while the Transferee continues to hold any Units, such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify as an Affiliate in relation to the initial Transferor Member from which such Permitted Transferee received such Units (directly or indirectly through a series of Transfers) pursuant to such clause (iii)) (an “Unwinding Event”), then the relevant initial Transferor shall (1) promptly notify the other Members and the Company of the pending occurrence of such Unwinding Event and (2) Transfer of all of the Units held by the relevant Permitted Transferee either back to such initial Transferor or to another Person who qualifies as an Affiliate of such initial Transferring, in each case subject to Section 10.04. A “Permitted Transferee” is a Transferee of a Permitted Transfer contemplated by clauses (i) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 10.02.

Section 10.03 Restricted Units Legend. The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement, cannot be sold or transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration thereunder. To the extent such Units have been certificated, each certificate evidencing Units and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Units (if such securities remain Units as defined herein after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON JANUARY 1, 2018, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SPECIFIED IN THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF GRAPHIC PACKAGING INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, LLC, AS MAY BE AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND GRAPHIC PACKAGING INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, LLC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY GRAPHIC PACKAGING INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, LLC TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”

The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates (if any) evidencing Units. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates (if any) evidencing any units which cease to be Units in accordance with the definition thereof.

Section 10.04 Transfer. Prior to Transferring any Units (other than Transfers to the Company pursuant to the Exchange Agreement or Transfers pursuant to Section 10.05), the Transferring Holder shall cause the prospective Transferee to be bound by this Agreement as provided in Section 10.02 and any other agreements (including the Exchange Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Governance Agreement) executed by the Holders and relating to such Units in the aggregate (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), and shall cause the prospective Transferee to execute and deliver to the Company and the other Holders counterparts of this Agreement and any applicable Other Agreements. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement (including any prohibited indirect Transfers) (a) shall be void, and (b) the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported Transferee of such Units as the owner of such securities for any purpose.

Section 10.05 Drag Along Rights and Tag Along Rights.

(a) If at any time the Managing Member and/or its Affiliates desire to Transfer in one or a series of related transactions all of its and their Company Interests (an “Applicable Sale”), the Managing Member may require each Holder to sell all of its Company Interests on the same terms and conditions (“Drag-Along Right”) in such Applicable Sale, provided that if any of the consideration to be received in such Applicable Sale is not cash, each Holder will have the right to elect to receive cash consideration for each of its Company Interests equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration payable to the Managing Member for each such Company Interest. The Managing Member may in its sole discretion elect to cause the Managing Member and/or the Company to structure the Applicable Sale as a merger, share exchange, consolidation or other

combination of the Company with or into another entity, including involving the Parent or an Intermediate Entity, or as a sale of the Company’s assets. Each Holder agrees to consent to, and raise no objections against, an Applicable Sale. In the event of the exercise by the Managing Member of its Drag-Along Right pursuant to this Section 10.05, each Holder shall take all reasonably necessary and desirable actions approved by the Managing Member in connection with the consummation of the Applicable Sale, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to provide customary and reasonable representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions and other agreements relating to such Applicable Sale and to otherwise effect the transaction; provided, however, that (A) such Holders shall not be required to give disproportionately greater representations, warranties, indemnities or covenants than the Managing Member or its Affiliates, (B) such Holders shall not be obligated to bear any share of the out-of-pocket expenses, costs or fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or its Affiliates in connection with such Applicable Sale unless and to the extent that such expenses, costs and fees were incurred for the benefit of the Company or all of its Holders, (C) such Holders shall not be obligated or otherwise responsible for more than their proportionate share of any indemnities or other liabilities incurred by the Company and the Holders as sellers in respect of such Applicable Sale, (D) any indemnities or other liabilities approved by the Managing Member shall be limited, in respect of each Holder, to such Holder’s share of the proceeds from the Applicable Sale, and (E) such Holders shall not be required to agree to any non-competition or non-solicitation covenants.

(b) At least five (5) Business Days before consummation of an Applicable Sale, the Managing Member shall (i) provide the Holders written notice (the “Applicable Sale Notice”) of such Applicable Sale, which notice shall contain (A) the name and address of the third party purchaser, (B) the proposed purchase price, terms of payment and other material terms and conditions of such purchaser’s offer, together with a copy of any binding agreement with respect to such Applicable Sale and (C) notification of whether or not the Managing Member has elected to exercise its Drag-Along Right and (ii) promptly notify the Members and Assignees of all proposed changes to such material terms and keep the Holders reasonably informed as to all material terms relating to such sale or contribution, and promptly deliver to the Holders copies of all final material agreements relating thereto not already provided in according with this Section 10.05(b) or otherwise. The Managing Member shall provide the Holders written notice of the termination of an Applicable Sale within five (5) Business Days following such termination, which notice shall state that the Applicable Sale Notice served with respect to such Applicable Sale is rescinded.

(c) If at any time the Managing Member and/or its Affiliates desire to Transfer in one or more transactions any portion of its and/or their Company Interests (a “Tag-Along Sale”), each Holder may sell the same ratable share of its Company Interests as is being sold by the Managing Member and such Affiliates (based upon the total Company Interests held by the Managing Member and its Affiliates at such time) on the same terms and conditions (“Tag-Along Right”) in such Tag-Along Sale. In the event of the exercise by any Holder of its Tag-Along Right pursuant to this Section 10.05(c), the Managing Member shall take all reasonably necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale to allow such Holders to exercise their Tag-Along Rights. The procedures with respect to a Tag-Along Sale shall be the same as those set forth in Section 10.05(b).

Section 10.06 Assignee’s Rights.

(a) The Transfer of a Company Interest in accordance with this Agreement shall be effective as of the date of its Transfer (assuming compliance with all of the conditions to such Transfer set forth herein), and such Transfer shall be shown on the books and records of the Company. Profits, Losses and other Company items shall be allocated between the transferor and the Assignee according to Section 706 of the Code, using any permissible method as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member. Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the Assignee.

(b) Unless and until an Assignee becomes a Member pursuant to ARTICLE XI, the Assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable Law, other than the rights granted specifically to Assignees pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, without relieving the transferring Member from any such limitations or obligations as more fully described in Section 10.07, such Assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of a Member contained herein that a Member would be bound on account of the Assignee’s Company Interest (including the obligation to make Capital Contributions on account of such Company Interest).

Section 10.07 Assignor’s Rights and Obligations. Any Member who shall Transfer any Company Interest in a manner in accordance with this Agreement shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges, or, except as set forth in this Section 10.07, duties, liabilities or obligations, of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions of Section 6.08 and Section 7.04 shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit), except that unless and until the Assignee (if not already a Member) is admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE XI (the “Admission Date”), (i) such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Member with respect to such Units or other interest, and (ii) the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the rights and privileges of such Member with respect to such Units or other interest for any period of time prior to the Admission Date. Nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units or other interest in the Company from any liability of such Member to the Company with respect to such Company Interest that may exist on the Admission Date or that is otherwise specified in the DLLCA and incorporated into this Agreement or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any materially false statement made by such Member (in its capacity as such) or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company.

Section 10.08 Overriding Provisions.

(a) Any Transfer in violation of this ARTICLE X shall be null and void ab initio, and the provisions of Sections 10.05 and 10.06 shall not apply to any such Transfers. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to whom a Transfer is made or attempted in violation of this ARTICLE X shall not become a Member, shall not be entitled to vote on any matters coming before the Members and shall not have any other rights in or with respect to any rights of a Member of the Company. The approval of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such approval in any other or future instance. The Managing Member shall promptly amend the Schedule of Members to reflect any Permitted Transfer pursuant to this ARTICLE X.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 10.01 and ARTICLE XI), in no event shall any Member Transfer any Units to the extent such Transfer would:

(i) result in the violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable federal, state or foreign Laws;

(ii) cause an assignment under the Investment Company Act;

(iii) cause the Company to fail to qualify as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes or, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Transfer was effected on or through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof,” as such terms are used in Section 1.7704-1 of the Treasury Regulations;

(iv) cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code or successor provision of the Code; or

(v) result in the Company having more than one hundred (100) partners, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1) (determined pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)).

Section 13.02 Liquidation and Termination. On dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Persons as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final Distributions as provided herein and in the DLLCA. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until termination of the Company, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Managing Member. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:

(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(b) the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine): first, all expenses incurred in liquidation; and second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company; and

(c) by the end of the Fiscal Year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, by ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation) all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their positive Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all adjustments attributable to Company transactions prior to any such distribution and any amounts debited or credited to the Capital Accounts of the Members..

Any such Distributions in kind shall be subject to (y) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (z) the terms and conditions of any agreements governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. Any Company assets distributed in kind will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with ARTICLE V. The liquidators shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in accordance with the valuation procedures set forth in ARTICLE XIV.

Section 13.04 Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the winding up and liquidation of the Company as provided herein, the Company is terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Managing Member (or such other Person or Persons as the DLLCA may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 13.04.

Section 13.05 Reasonable Time for Winding Up.

Section 13.06 Return of Capital. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Members (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from and to the extent of Company assets available therefor).

ARTICLE XIV

VALUATION

Section 14.01 Determination. “Fair Market Value” of a specific asset will mean the amount which the seller would receive in an all-cash sale of such asset in an arms-length transaction with a willing unaffiliated third party buyer, with neither party having any compulsion to buy or sell, consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event all the assets of the of the Company are adjusted to equal their respective Fair Market Values, pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” in Section 1.01, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all the assets will be computed with reference to, and consistent, with, the then trading price of Parent’s Common Stock (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), and the Managing Member shall prepare an allocation of such aggregate Fair Market Value among each separate property in proportion to their Fair Market Values and present such allocation to Impala for its approval and consent.

Section 14.02 Dispute Resolution. If any Member or Members dispute the accuracy of any determination of Fair Market Value or the allocation of such Fair Market Value among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 14.01, and the Managing Member and such Member(s) are unable to agree on the determination of the Fair Market Value of any asset of the Company or the allocation of such Fair Market Value among the assets of the Company, the Managing Member and such Member(s) shall each select a nationally recognized valuation firm experienced in valuing assets or securities of similarly situated companies in the Company’s industry (the “Appraisers”), who shall each determine the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) or the allocation of such Fair Market Value among the assets of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.01. The Appraisers shall be instructed to give written notice of their determination of the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) or the allocation of such Fair Market Value among the assets of the Company within thirty (30) days of their appointment as Appraisers. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser is higher than Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser by 10% or more, and the Managing Member and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value or allocation of such Fair Market Value among the assets of the Company, the original Appraisers shall designate a third Appraiser meeting the same criteria used to select the original two, whose determination shall be binding. If Fair Market Value as determined by an Appraiser selected by the Members is within 10% of the Fair Market Value as determined by the other such Appraiser (but not identical), and the Managing Member and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value or allocation of such Fair Market Value among the assets of the Company, the Managing Member shall select the Fair Market Value or allocation of such Fair Market Value of one of such Appraisers. The fees and expenses of the Appraisers shall be borne equally by Gazelle Holdco and Impala.

Any party to this Agreement may notify any other party of any changes to the address or any of the other details specified in this paragraph; provided that such notification shall only be effective on the date specified in such notice or five Business Days after the notice is given, whichever is later. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.

Section 15.04 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 15.05 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

(b) AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (WITH EACH PARTY HAVING HAD OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL), EACH OF THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Section 15.06 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RE-SPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES OR THEIR SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, IN EACH CASE, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY ACTION

WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT (I) ANY CLAIM THAT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE ABOVE NAMED COURTS FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE FAILURE TO SERVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 15.06, (II) ANY CLAIM THAT IT OR ITS PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OF NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT OR OTHERWISE) AND (III) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM THAT (A) THE ACTION IN SUCH COURT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (B) THE VENUE OF SUCH ACTION IS IMPROPER OR (C) THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREES THAT NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN, FURNISH OR POST ANY BOND OR SIMILAR INSTRUMENT IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A CONDITION TO OBTAINING ANY REMEDY REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 15.06 AND EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE IMPOSITION OF SUCH RELIEF OR ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO REQUIRE THE OBTAINING, FURNISHING OR POSTING OF ANY SUCH BOND OR SIMILAR INSTRUMENT. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 10.1, OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

Section 15.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared judicially to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that achieves the original intent of the parties hereto.

Section 15.08 Headings. The headings and captions of the Articles and Sections used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference and convenience purposes of the parties hereto only, and will be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

Section 15.09 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified upon the consent of the Majority Members, Impala and the Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification (a) to this Section 15.09 may be made without the prior written consent of the Managing Member and each of the Members, (b) to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which terms and conditions expressly require the approval or action of certain Persons may be made without obtaining the consent of the requisite number or specified percentage of such Persons who are entitled to approve or take action on such matter, and (c) to any of the terms and conditions of Article VI or Section 13.01 may be made without the prior written consent of the Managing Member, which consent may be given or withheld in the Managing Member’s sole discretion.

Section 15.10 Waiver. Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived at any time by any of the parties entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by each such party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of or estopped with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 15.11 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the party who is, or is to be, thereby aggrieved will have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity. The parties hereto agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the parties hereto.

Section 15.12 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission of Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.

Section 15.13 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) This Agreement and all of the provisions hereto shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations set forth herein shall be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 15.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Transaction Agreement and, as applicable, the other Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in favor of any Person.

Section 15.15 Creditors. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the Company or any of its Affiliates may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement executed by the Company in favor of such creditor) at any time as a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in Company Profits, Losses, Distributions, capital or property other than as a secured creditor.

Section 15.16 Further Action. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 15.17 Right of Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum (other than pursuant to ARTICLE IV) to any Member, any amounts that such Member owes to the Company which are not the subject of a good faith dispute may be deducted from that sum before payment; provided that distribution of Units to Gazelle Holdco shall not be subject to this Section 15.17.

Section 15.18 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents to this Agreement, and the Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement, are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms and any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be deemed to include any gender or all three as appropriate. Unless otherwise specified, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. Unless the context otherwise requires, “or,” “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either,” and “or” shall not be exclusive or disjunctive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment or other modification to any agreement, document or instrument that requires the consent of any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement will be given effect hereunder unless such Person has consented in writing to such amendment or modification. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year shall refer to a portion thereof. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of such conflict. References to agreements or other documents shall be deemed to refer to such agreement or other document as amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time. References to any Law or statute shall be deemed to refer to such Law or statute, together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as may be amended from time to time and any successor thereto.
