1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

(a) “Lien” means any lien, encumbrance, hypothecation, adverse claim, charge, mortgage, security interest, pledge or option, proxy, right of first refusal or first offer, preemptive right, deed of trust, servitude, voting trust, transfer restriction or any other similar restriction.

(b) “Permitted Lien” means any (i) Lien arising under this Agreement, (ii) applicable restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (iii) Lien arising under the OpCo LLC Agreement that do not prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) “Willful and Material Breach” means a material breach of, or a material failure to perform, any covenant, representation, warranty or agreement set forth in this Agreement, in each case that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching party or the failure by the breaching party to take an act it is required to take under this Agreement, with the actual knowledge that the taking of or failure to take such act would, or would be reasonably expected to, result in, constitute or cause a breach of this Agreement.

2. Purchase and Sale of Common Units.

(a) Sale of Common Units. Blueapple, in consideration of the receipt of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2(b), hereby agrees to irrevocably sell, assign, transfer, deliver, and convey to the Company, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all Common Units beneficially owned and held of record by Blueapple (the “Purchased Units”). The sale, assignment and transfer contemplated by this Section 2(a) is conditioned upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) and will occur concurrently with the Closing (with it being acknowledged and agreed that, except as set forth in the OpCo LLC Agreement, none of Parent, the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any right or obligation to acquire the Purchased Units if the Closing does not occur for any reason).

(b) Payment of the Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Units in accordance with Section 2(a), at the Closing the Company shall pay or cause to be paid, an aggregate amount in cash equal to the the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) times the number of Purchased Units (the “Purchase Price”). The payment of the Purchase Price to Blueapple hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account(s) as designated by Blueapple the Company in writing (with a copy to Parent) at least three Business Days in advance of the Closing. The Purchase Price payable hereunder shall be subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 2.02(c) of the Merger Agreement, which shall apply hereto mutatis mutandis.

(i) Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, prior to the Termination Date, Blueapple shall not, and shall cause each of its controlled Affiliates not to, (i) Transfer (or permit or cause the Transfer of) any Common Units, (ii) deposit (or permit the deposit of) any Common Units in a voting trust, or grant any proxy or power of attorney or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement with respect to any Common Units, (iii) deliver any Sale Notice or exercise any Piggyback Sale Right (in each case as defined in the OpCo LLC Agreement) pursuant to Article XI of the OpCo LLC Agreement or exercise any registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, or (iv) knowingly take or cause the taking of any other action that would materially restrict or prevent the performance of Blueapple’s obligations hereunder, excluding any involuntary bankruptcy filing. Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio and Blueapple agrees that any such prohibited action may and should be enjoined. If any involuntary Transfer of any Common Units shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by Blueapple’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees from Blueapple (“Direct Transferees”) and any and all transferees (“Indirect Transferees”) of any Direct Transferee or any other Indirect Transferee) shall take and hold such Common Units subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, and, as used herein (other than in Section 3 or where the context suggests otherwise), the term “Blueapple” shall include such Direct Transferees and Indirect Transferees.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Blueapple may make (i) Transfers of Common Units by will or for bona fide estate planning purposes, and (ii) Transfers of Common Units to any controlled Affiliate of Blueapple, so long as with respect to each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) such (I) transferee agrees in writing to be bound by and comply with this Agreement prior to the consummation of any such transfer and (II) Transfer is otherwise permitted pursuant to the OpCo LLC Agreement.

(d) Acknowledgement of Disposition Event. Blueapple irrevocably and unconditionally agrees: (a) that the Merger is a Disposition Event (as defined in the OpCo LLC Agreement), and (b) the Company has delivered to Blueapple (and this Agreement constitutes) the written notice contemplated by Section 10.09(b) of the OpCo LLC Agreement.

(e) Closing Delivery. Prior to the Closing, Blueapple shall provide to Parent a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 of Blueapple.

(f) Withholding. The Company and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable hereunder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. Any amounts deducted or withheld and paid over or remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company intends to withhold under this Section 2(f), the Company shall provide the person with respect to whom it intends to withhold at least three (3) days written notice of such intention and shall reasonably cooperate with such person to reduce the potential withholding, including through accepting any relevant forms establishing an entitlement to reduced withholding; provided, that no such notice shall be required if any such withholding is required as a result of Blueapple’s failure to comply with the covenant in Section 2(e).

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Intended Tax Treatment. For United States federal tax purposes (including Section 741 of the Code) and for similar purposes under state and local law, the Parties agree to treat the purchase and sale of the Common Units pursuant to this Agreement as a purchase of partnership interests by the Company and a sale of partnership interests by Blueapple in exchange for the Purchase Price (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Parent and the Company will promptly provide Blueapple with such additional information and assistance as Blueapple may reasonably request in connection with tax reporting matters relating to the payments contemplated by this Agreement. As part of the Intended Tax Treatment, the Purchase Price hereunder will be further allocated to and among the assets of the Company for purposes of Section 743 of the Code and otherwise as required for purposes of the Code as reasonably determined by the Company consistent with the applicable provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder and the Company shall provide such allocation to Blueapple for Blueapple’s review and comment prior to finalization. The Parties shall file all Tax Returns in a manner that is consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment hereunder and shall not take a position on any Tax Return or in connection with any administrative or judicial or similar proceeding in respect of Taxes that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, except as otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(b) Amendment and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived at any time prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each Party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each

Party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, that a waiver by the Company shall require the witten consent of Parent. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a 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 Applicable Law.

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement (including any exhibits hereto) and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein and therein 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 hereof.

(d) Governing Law. This Agreement and all Claims and causes of action hereunder 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.

(e) Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby or any transaction contemplated hereby (or, solely if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over any such suit, action or other proceeding, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Court”). Each of the Parties agrees to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating hereto in the applicable Chosen Court pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the applicable Chosen Court, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any objections or immunities to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is instituted in any such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that a final trial court judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. Each of the Parties agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the addresses set forth in Section 10(h) shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

(f) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(g) Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts

described in Section 10(e) without proof of damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and any other agreement executed in connection herewith, at law or in equity, and the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10(g) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(h) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any Party hereunder shall be in writing (including email (provided, that such email states that it is a notice delivered pursuant to this Section 10(h)) and shall be given,

The definition of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and the plural. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The word “shall” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “will”.

The word “or” shall not be exclusive. “Writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form. Unless otherwise specified, references to any statute or law or any provision thereof shall be deemed to refer to such same as amended from time to time and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. References to any agreement or Contract are to that agreement or Contract as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
