-20-

In the event Contributor pays any such Taxes, Acquirer shall reimburse Contributor therefor within 15 days after the date on which the Taxes are paid and Acquirer is notified by Contributor.

(c) The Parties agree that whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Section 5.2 to determine the amount of any Taxes imposed or incurred by or with respect to the contribution of the Interests for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date, the determination shall be made, in the case of property or ad valorem or franchise Taxes (which are measured by, or based solely upon, capital, debt, or a combination thereof), by prorating such Taxes ratably on a per diem basis and, in the case of other Taxes, by assuming that such portion of the Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date constitutes a separate taxable period applicable to the Company and by taking into account the actual taxable events occurring during such period (except that exemptions, allowances, and deductions for a Straddle Period that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned to the period prior to and including the Closing Date ratably on a per diem basis).

(d) With respect to any Tax Return attributable to a Straddle Period that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to the Company, Acquirer shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared, cause to be included in such Tax Return all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit required to be included therein, furnish a copy of such Tax Return to Contributor, and cause such Tax Return to be timely filed with the appropriate Tax Authority.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that transfer taxes arise from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such transfer taxes shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Contributor and fifty percent (50%) by Acquirer. Contributor shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Tax Authority any transfer taxes that are required by Law to collect and remit.

The Parties shall provide such certificates and other information and otherwise cooperate to the extent reasonably required to minimize transfer taxes.

-21-

(f) Each Party shall file, to the extent required by applicable Tax Laws, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Taxes for which such Party is responsible hereunder. In addition, each Party shall provide the other Parties with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by such other Parties or otherwise required by applicable Tax Laws in connection with the preparation, execution and/or filing of any Tax Return and other related documentation, any audit or other examination by any Governmental Authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, and each will retain and provide the requesting Party or Parties with any records or information which may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceedings or determination.

(g) The parties intend that for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) the contribution of the Interests shall be treated as a contribution by Contributor to Acquirer pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Code, subject to Section 707 of the Code, and (ii) the distribution of the Debt Financed Cash Consideration shall qualify as a “debt- financed transfer” under Section 1.707-5(b) of the Treasury Regulations pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement. Any Cash Consideration in excess of the amount treated as a “debt-financed transfer” shall be treated (x) as a reimbursement of Contributor’s preformation expenditures within the meaning of Section 1.707-4(d) of the Treasury Regulations to the greatest extent applicable, and (y) in a transaction subject to treatment under Section 707(a) of the Code, and its implementing Treasury Regulations, as in part a sale, and in part a contribution, by Contributor of the Interests. The Parties agree to file all Tax Returns and otherwise act at all times in a manner consistent with this intended treatment of the contribution of the Interests, the Cash Consideration, and the Acquirer Debt, including disclosing the payment of the Cash Consideration in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.707-3(c)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

Section 5.3 Debt Financed Cash Consideration

(a) Prior to or simultaneous with the Closing and pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, Acquirer shall use its best efforts to borrow at least $300 million of the Cash Consideration (the “Debt Financed Cash Consideration”) under indebtedness for which Contributor bears all of the economic risk of loss as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2, in a manner such that the proceeds of such borrowing are allocable to the distribution of the Debt Financed Cash Consideration to Contributor pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-5(b)(1) and Temporary Treasury Regulation 1.163-8T (the full amount of such borrowing, and any “refinancing” of such borrowing treated as the liability it refinances pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-5(c), the “Acquirer Debt”).

(b) The Parties intend that, because Contributor will bear the economic risk of loss as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2 for the entire amount of the Acquirer Debt, the entire amount of the Debt Financed Cash Consideration made to Contributor shall qualify as a “debt-financed transfer” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-5(b) and accordingly, such amount will not be taken into account as part of a “disguised sale” of property contributed to Acquirer under Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-3.

-22-

(c) The Parties hereby agree (and agree on behalf of their respective Affiliates) that, as of the Closing Date, the Parties (and their respective Affiliates) have no plan to repay or otherwise reduce the principal balance of the Acquirer Debt that is outstanding immediately after the Closing Date.

(d) The Parties shall act at all times in a manner consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, except with the prior written consent of Parent or as otherwise required by applicable Law following a final determination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction.

Section 5.4 Repurchase of DM Common Units. The Parties shall use their best efforts to cause 100% of the DMHC Existing Units to be repurchased by Acquirer on the Closing Date in exchange for a cash payment from Acquirer equal to the number of DMHC Existing Units multiplied by the volume-weighted average trading price of a DM Common Unit on the New York Stock Exchange for the 10-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

Section 5.5 Personnel and Services. Parent shall use its best efforts to make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Acquirer that provide Acquirer with access to ongoing personnel and related services from QPC Services Company or other Affiliates of Parent, on terms consistent with the projections provided to the Acquirer Conflicts Committee as part of the Acquirer Conflicts Committee’s evaluation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, that are reasonably necessary or appropriate to replace the services being performed by the employees of the Company and each Company Subsidiary as of the Effective Date.

Section 5.6 Further Assurances; Financing Cooperation.

(a) At any time or from time to time after the Effective Date and without further consideration, as and when requested by any Party, the requested Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take or to cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, or to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such further instruments of contribution, transfer, conveyance, assignment, novation, confirmation or other documents, and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions, as such requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, as promptly as practicable or sooner as required by this Agreement.

(b) Contributor shall, and shall cause the Company and each Company Subsidiary to, provide commercially reasonable assistance with the preparation of and any discussions regarding the business, financial statements, and management discussion and analysis of Contributor, the Company and each Company Subsidiary, all for use in connection with the Transaction Financings, where Acquirer reasonably determines, in consultation with Parent, that the inclusion of such information is required or desirable.

Except as expressly provided herein, no Party is or shall act as or be the agent or representative of any other Party.

Section 9.12 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Contemplated Transactions is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in order that the Contemplated Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
