(c)   replacing the third sentence of Section 3.10 in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“The parties shall report any Charitable Exchange or Non-U.S. Exchange consummated pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) hereof as (i) a contribution of Group Partnership I Units (or Corporate Holdco interests), and Group Partnership II Units to the Issuer described in Section 721(a) of the Code, followed by a tax free contribution of such Group Partnership I Units (or Corporate Holdco interests) to the appropriate Group Partnership Holdco pursuant to Section 351 of the Code and (ii) a taxable sale of Group Partnership III Units to Group Partnership III General Partner, and no party shall take a contrary position on any income tax return, amendment thereof or communication with a taxing authority.”
