			(c)        The aggregate purchase price paid by Pubco to the Call Option Holder for the Call Option pursuant to Section 2.01(b) shall be an amount in cash equal to (i) the product of (A) the number of Call Option Paired Interests subject to the portion of the Call Option to be acquired and exercised, (B) the Exchange Rate and (C) (x) the Common Unit Purchase Price (if Pubco is undertaking an Underwritten Offering in connection therewith) or (y) the Common Unit Redemption Price (if Pubco is not undertaking an Underwritten Offering in connection therewith) minus (ii) the aggregate strike price pursuant to the Call Option with respect to the number of Call Option Paired Interests subject to the portion of the Call Option to be acquired.

			(i)         the purchase price paid by Pubco to the Call Option Holder for the Call Option shall be a number of shares of Deliverable Common Stock that is equal to the quotient (rounded to the nearest whole number) of (I) (A) the product of (x) the number of Call Option Paired Interests subject to the portion of the Call Option to be acquired and exercised, (y) the Exchange Rate and (z) (1) the Common Unit Purchase Price (if Pubco is undertaking an Underwritten Offering in connection therewith) or (2) the Common Unit Redemption Price (if Pubco is not undertaking an Underwritten Offering in connection therewith) minus (B) the aggregate exercise price pursuant to the Call Option with respect to the number of Call Option Paired Interests subject to the portion of the Call Option to be acquired divided by (II) the Common Unit Purchase Price (if Pubco is undertaking an Underwritten Offering in connection therewith) or the Common Unit Redemption Price (if Pubco is not undertaking an Underwritten Offering in connection therewith); and
		

		
			(ii)       the purchase price paid by Pubco to the Call Option Issuer to exercise the Call Option shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole number) that has a value equal to the aggregate strike price pursuant to the Call Option with respect to the relevant portion of the Call Option to be acquired calculated using the Common Unit Purchase Price (if Pubco is undertaking an Underwritten Offering in connection therewith) or the Common Unit Redemption Price (if Pubco is not undertaking an Underwritten Offering in connection therewith).

			(f)        Contingent Exchange Notice and Revocation by Holders.
		

		
			(i)         A Paired Interest Exchange Notice from a Holder may specify that the Exchange is to be contingent (including as to the timing) upon the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an underwritten offering or otherwise) of shares of Deliverable Common Stock into which the Paired Interests are exchangeable, and any Exchange Notice may specify that the Exchange is contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or other transaction or event in which the Paired Interests or the Deliverable Common Stock into which the Paired Interests are exchangeable would be exchanged or converted, or become exchangeable for or convertible into, cash or other securities or property.

			(ii)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Holder may withdraw or amend an Exchange Notice, in whole or in part, prior to the effectiveness of the Exchange, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date (or any such later time as may be required by Applicable Law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to Pubco or the Exchange Agent, specifying (I) the number of withdrawn Paired Interests or the portion of the Call Option to be withdrawn from purchase, (II) if any, the number of Paired Interests or the portion of the Call Option as to which the Exchange Notice remains in effect and (III) if the Holder so determines, a new Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in the Exchange Notice.

In connection therewith, such Holder shall provide Pubco with such information in its possession as Pubco may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any such legend, including in the case of subparagraph (ii) or (iii) above, if requested by Pubco or any transfer agent for the Deliverable Common Stock, an opinion of Holder’s legal counsel as to the satisfaction of the requirements in this Section 2.02(i).
		

		
			(j)         Pubco shall bear all expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated, including any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided,  however, that if any shares of Deliverable Common Stock are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Holder that requested the Exchange or the Call Option Holder in the case of a sale of all or a portion of the Call Option (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such Holder), then such Holder and/or the Person in whose name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to Pubco the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Pubco that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
		

		
			(k)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, a Holder shall not be entitled to effect an Exchange, and Pubco and the Company shall have the right to refuse to honor any request to effect an Exchange, at any time or during any period, if Pubco or the Company shall reasonably determine that such Exchange (i) would be prohibited by any Applicable Law (including the unavailability of any requisite registration statement filed under the Securities Act or any exemption from the registration requirements thereunder), provided this Section 2.02(k)(i) shall not limit Pubco or the Company’s obligations under Section 2.07(c), or (ii) would not be permitted under another agreement with Pubco, the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Exchanging Holder, on the other hand; provided that the Pubco shall, and shall cause the Company to, take commercially reasonable efforts to alleviate such prohibition, but shall not be obligated to waive any right or claims, or pay any amounts to obtain the alleviation of such prohibition, under any such agreement.  Upon such determination, Pubco or the Company (as applicable) shall notify the Holder and, if applicable the Call Option Holder, that has delivered an Exchange Notice of such determination, which such notice shall include an explanation in reasonable detail as to the reason that the Exchange has not been honored.
		

		
			Section 2.03.    Adjustment.  This Agreement shall apply to the Paired Interests held by the Holders and their Permitted Transferees as of the date hereof, as well as any Paired

			(a)        In the event that a Disposition Event is approved by the board of directors of Pubco or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of Pubco, the Holders shall be permitted to participate in such Disposition Event by delivery of a Paired Interest Exchange Notice (which Paired Interest Exchange Notice shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Disposition Event (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be contingent upon such Disposition Event and not be effective if such Disposition Event is not consummated)).  Pubco shall not merge, consolidate, combine or consummate any other transaction in which shares of Class A Common Stock are exchanged or converted into other stock or securities, or the right to receive cash or any other property (a “Transaction”) unless in connection with any such Transaction each Holder is entitled to participate by delivery of a Paired Interest Exchange Notice as contemplated in the preceding sentence and receive the same kind and amount of stock or securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, into which a share of Class A Common Stock is converted or exchanged in the Transaction (the “Class A Per Share Consideration”) multiplied by the Exchange Rate.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Holders be entitled to receive in such Transaction aggregate consideration for each Paired Interest that is greater than the Class A Per Share Consideration.
		

		
			(b)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Disposition Event is approved by the board of directors of Pubco and the shareholders of Pubco (to the extent such approval is required) and consummated in accordance with Applicable Law, at the request of the Company or Pubco, to the extent that a Holder has not exercised its rights to participate in such transaction pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or by exercising its rights pursuant to Section 2.01 after a reasonable opportunity to do so, each of the Holders shall be required to exchange with Pubco simultaneously with the consummation of such Disposition Event, all of such Holder’s Paired Interests for aggregate consideration for each Paired Interest that is equivalent to the Class A Per Share Consideration in connection with the Disposition Event; provided,  however, that the Call Option Holder shall be permitted to elect (contingent upon such Disposition Event) to sell its Call Option to Pubco or a purchaser and have such option exercised in a manner the same or substantially similar to Section 2.01(b) (and the Call Option Issuer and its affiliates shall be permitted reasonable opportunity to effect any transaction required in connection with the sale and exercise of the Call Option in the case of a Disposition Event) and, if the Call Option Holder consents to the delivery of Class A Common Stock rather than cash in connection therewith, the Class A Common Stock shall be valued at an amount equal to the Class A Per Share Consideration; provided,  however, that in the event of a Disposition Event intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as a transfer described in Section 351(a) or Section 721 of the Code, a Holder shall not be required to exchange Paired Interest pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) unless, as a part of such transaction, the Holders are permitted to exchange their Paired Interest for securities in a transaction that is expected to permit such exchange without current recognition of gain or loss, for U.S. and non-U.S. tax purposes, for the direct and indirect holders of Paired Interests (except to the extent that property other than securities is received in such exchange), based on a “should” or “will” level

			Section 2.06.   Listing of Deliverable Common Stock.  Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Deliverable Common Stock issued upon an exchange of Paired Interests to be listed at the time of such issuance on the Securities Exchange.
		

		
			Section 2.07.   Deliverable Common Stock to be Issued; Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock to be Cancelled.
		

		
			(a)        Pubco shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, the maximum number of shares of Deliverable Common Stock as shall be deliverable upon Exchange of all then-outstanding Paired Interests; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Pubco from satisfying its obligations in respect of an Exchange for which it is permitted to deliver shares of Deliverable Common Stock by delivery of shares of Deliverable Common Stock that are held in the treasury of Pubco or any of its subsidiaries or by delivery of purchased shares of Deliverable Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of Pubco or any subsidiary thereof).  Pubco covenants that all shares of Deliverable Common Stock issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
		

		
			(b)        When a Paired Interest has been Exchanged in accordance with this Agreement, (i) the share of Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock corresponding to such Paired Interest shall be cancelled by Pubco for no consideration and (ii) the Common Unit corresponding to such Paired Interest shall be deemed transferred from the Exchanging Holder to Pubco and the Company shall cause such transfer to be registered in the books and records of the Company.
		

		
			(c)        Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Pubco covenants and agrees to deliver shares of Deliverable Common Stock, if requested, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any Exchange to the extent that a registration statement is effective and available for such shares.  In the event that any Exchange in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			11

		

 

		

		
			 
		

		
			registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the Holders requesting such Exchange, Pubco and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts promptly to facilitate such Exchange pursuant to an available exemption from such registration requirements.
		

		
			(d)        Pubco agrees that it has taken all or will take such steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and to be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions from, or dispositions to, Pubco or the Company of equity securities of Pubco (including the Call Option or other derivative securities with respect thereto) or the Company and any securities that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of Pubco for such purposes that result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each officer or director of Pubco, including any director by deputization.  The authorizing resolutions shall be approved by either Pubco’s board of directors or a committee composed solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors (as defined in Rule 16b-3) of Pubco.
		

		
			Section 2.08.   Distributions.  No Exchange shall impair the right of the Exchanging Holder to receive any distributions payable on the Common Units so exchanged in respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange.  No adjustments in respect of dividends or distributions on any Common Unit will be made on the Exchange of any Paired Interest, and if the Exchange Date with respect to a Common Unit occurs after the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Units but before the date of the payment, then the registered Holder of the Common Unit at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Unit on the payment date (without duplication of any distribution to which such Holder may be entitled under Section 4.01(b) of the LLC Agreement in respect of taxes) notwithstanding the Exchange of the Paired Interests or a default in payment of the dividend or distribution due on the Exchange Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchanging Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of a single record date, distributions or dividends both on Common Units exchanged by such Holder and on shares of Deliverable Common Stock received by such Holder in such Exchange.
		

		
			Section 2.09.   Obligations of Call Option Holder.  Neither the Call Option Holder nor the Call Option Issuer shall amend, modify, waive any rights or obligations under or in any way alter the rights and obligations under the Call Option without the prior written consent of Pubco and the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

			Section 4.06.   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

			Section 4.08.   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the LLC Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
		

		
			Section 4.09.   Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such a determination, 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 an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
		

		
			Section 4.10.   Amendment.  This Agreement can be amended at any time and from time to time by written instrument signed by the Company, Pubco and the holders of a majority of the Units held by the parties hereto; provided that no amendment to this Agreement may adversely modify in any material respect the rights (including the ability to Exchange Paired Interests pursuant to this Agreement) and obligations of any Holders in any materially disproportionate manner to the rights and obligations of any other Holders without the prior written consent of a majority in interest of such disproportionately affected Holders or Holders.  In the event that this Agreement is amended, the Company and Pubco shall provide a copy of such amendment to all Holders; provided that any such amendment shall be binding on all Holders notwithstanding any failure by the Company and Pubco to provide a copy of any such amendment.
		

		
			Section 4.11.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of any other State.

			Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale of the Common Units and shares of Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, and the Call Option, as applicable, by a Holder to Pubco, and no party shall take a contrary position on any income tax return or amendment thereof unless an alternate position is permitted under the Code and Treasury Regulations and the Managing Member consents in writing.
		

		
			(b)        The Company and Pubco shall cooperate with the Holders and the Call Option Issuer to (i) timely provide any tax information requested by the Holders and the Call Option Issuer in connection with an Exchange pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) provide any backup reasonably requested to understand such information, and (iii) provide reasonable access to the Company’s and Pubco’s employees and tax professionals to discuss such information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and Pubco shall provide the Holders and the Call Option Issuer with the information required to be reported by the Holders and the Call Option Issuer under Treasury Regulations Section 1.751-1(a)(3) and any information needed for the Holders to timely determine any withholding tax obligation incurred in connection with any Exchange hereunder; provided that, in each case, the Company and Pubco shall provide such information for such Holders’ or the Call Option Issuer’s review and comment prior to finalization.
		

		
			Section 4.13.   Independent Nature of Holders’ Rights and Obligations.  The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under hereunder.  The decision of each Holder to enter into to this Agreement has been made by such Holder independently of any other Holder.  Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

			Section 2.05       Corporate Policies.  Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, MDP acknowledges that each MDP Designated Director will be subject to all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and insider trading policies and guidelines of the Company, each as approved by the Board from time to time to the extent such policies and guidelines are applicable to all non-executive directors.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable remedies to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any of the Selected Courts (as defined below), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with respect to such remedy are hereby waived by each of the parties hereto.  Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for an injunction or other equitable remedy in respect of such breach or enforcement of specific performance, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
		

		
			Section 4.08         Consent To Jurisdiction.  With respect to any suit, action or proceeding (“Proceeding”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate courts therefrom (the “Selected Courts”) and waives any objection to venue being laid in the Selected Courts whether based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or otherwise and hereby agrees not to commence any such Proceeding other than before one of the Selected Courts; provided,  however, that a party may commence any Proceeding in a court other than a Selected Court solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the Selected Courts; (b) consents to service of process in any Proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized international express carrier or delivery service, to the Company or MDP at their respective addresses referred to in Section 4.01 hereof; provided,  however, that nothing herein shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; and (c) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND AGREES THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND TO HAVE ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

			(b)          No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
		

		
			Section 4.10       Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that MDP may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without the Company’s prior written consent.
