Introduction
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the consummation on February 2, 2015 (the Closing ) of the previously announced combination contemplated by the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2014, as amended (the Purchase Agreement ), between Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company ) and FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( Genesis ). Immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock ), and options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company, which remained outstanding represented 25.75% of the equity of the combined entity, and the holders of equity interests (the Genesis Members ), equity awards and options to purchase equity interests of Genesis (the Genesis Stakeholders ) held 74.25% of the equity of the combined entity, calculated on a fully diluted, as-exchanged and as-converted basis.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, on February 2, 2015, the following transactions (the Transactions ) occurred:
| all of the shares of capital stock of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis ( Sun ), after certain other subsidiaries of Genesis were merged into Sun, were distributed to the Genesis Members; |
| Sun became a subsidiary of the Company as a result of a concurrent reverse subsidiary merger; |
| Sun and certain subsidiaries of Sun (collectively, the Sun Members ) contributed ownership of certain of their assets and subsidiaries to Genesis (the Contribution ); |
| the Sun Members received Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units and Class C Common Units of Genesis (each a Genesis Common Unit ); |
| Sun was admitted as the managing member of Genesis; |
| the Genesis Members received (a) Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the Class A Common Stock ), and (b) Class A Common Units of Genesis ( Genesis Class A Units ) (exchangeable into Class A Common Stock) and Class C Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the Class C Common Stock ) (the issuance of the Class A Common Stock, the New Stock Issuance and the shares of Class C Common Stock issued, the Conversion Shares ); |
| for each share of Class C Common Stock received by a Genesis Member, the Genesis Members membership interests in Genesis were reclassified as Genesis Class A Units; |
| Health Care REIT, Inc., a Delaware corporation ( HCN ), canceled an option it held to acquire interests in Genesis in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock representing a portion of the 74.25% interest in the combined entity that would otherwise be held by the Genesis Members following the combination of the Company and Genesis; and |
| the participants under the Genesis Management Incentive Plan received cash and shares of Class A Common Stock constituting a portion of the 74.25% interest in the combined entity that would otherwise have been held by the Genesis Members following the combination of the Company and Genesis. |
In connection with the Transactions, the Company changed its name to Genesis Healthcare, Inc., the symbol under which the Class A Common Stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange was changed to GEN, and the CUSIP number of the Class A Common Stock was changed to 37185X 106.
Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
The information set forth in Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers of the second Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC ) on February 6, 2015 is incorporated herein by reference.
LLC Agreement
On February 2, 2015, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, each of the Sun Members and each other holder of Genesis Common Units entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Genesis (the LLC Agreement ). Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, Sun is the managing member of Genesis (the Managing Member ).
2
Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the Managing Member has the right to determine when distributions will be made to the holders of the Genesis Common Units and the amount of any such distributions, subject to the terms of any preferred Genesis units authorized by the Managing Member. If the Managing Member authorizes a distribution to the holders of the Genesis Common Units, such distribution generally will be made pro rata in accordance with the percentage interests of the holders of the Genesis Common Units. However, if the Company and its subsidiaries have not contributed to Genesis, and are not treated as having contributed to Genesis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, certain assets (the Excluded Assets ) (or the operating or capital proceeds therefrom), any distributions made with respect to the Managing Members Genesis Common Units generally will be reduced to the extent of any such operating or capital proceeds attributable to the Excluded Assets.
The holders of Genesis Common Units will incur U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on their allocable share of any taxable income of Genesis. Subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement, Genesis will make cash distributions to each member, including the Sun Members, for purposes of funding such members tax obligations in respect of its allocable share of the net taxable income of Genesis. In general, these tax distributions will be computed based on an estimate of the net taxable income of Genesis allocable to the members (which allocation shall, for these purposes, be determined based on certain assumptions) multiplied by an assumed tax rate of 41%.
In addition, under the LLC Agreement, certain holders of Genesis interests (including the existing Genesis Members, certain subsequent members of Genesis, and certain transferees who obtain an interest in Genesis but are not treated as members thereof) will have the right, subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement, described below, to exchange all or a portion of their Genesis Class A Units for shares of Class A Common Stock or, at the Managing Members option, cash. Any exchange of Genesis Class A Units for shares of Class A Common Stock generally will be on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments for, among other things, stock splits and stock dividends. As a result of such exchanges, the number of Genesis Class A Units held by the Managing Member will increase as the Managing Member acquires the exchanged Genesis Class A Units.
Concurrently with the exercise of an exchange of Genesis Class A Units for shares of Class A Common Stock, as described immediately above, (1) a number of shares of Class C Common Stock , equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued in exchange for the Genesis Class A Units and (ii) the number of shares of Class C Common Stock then outstanding, will automatically be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, and (2) pursuant to the LLC Agreement, Genesis will convert an amount of Suns Genesis Class C Units, equal to the number of Class C Common Stock converted in connection with the exchange, into Genesis Class A Units.
The foregoing summary of the LLC Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the LLC Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
Tax Receivable Agreement
On February 2, 2015, the Company and Genesis entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with certain Genesis Members who received Genesis Class A Units as a result of the Transactions. The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by the Company to Genesis Members of 90% of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes as a result of (1) any increase in tax basis attributable to the exchange of Genesis Class A Units for shares of Class A Common Stock by such Genesis Members and (2) the tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code ) or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. tax law as a result of the Companys payment obligations to such Genesis Members under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
The holders of Genesis Class A Units (other than the Sun Members) have the right (subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement described above) to exchange their Genesis Class A Units for shares of Class A Common Stock or, at the Managing Members option, cash. As a result of such exchanges, the number of Genesis Class A Units held by the Managing Member will increase as the Managing Member acquires the exchanged Genesis Class A Units.
Genesis and each of its subsidiaries that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and as to which Genesis owns, directly or indirectly, or otherwise controls, more than 50% of the voting shares or other similar interest, the sole general partner interest, or the managing member or other similar interest (such subsidiaries, the Genesis Subsidiaries ) intend to make an election under Section 754 of the Code that is effective for each taxable year in which an exchange by a holder of Genesis Class A Units for Class A Common Stock or cash occurs. As a result of this Section 754 election, an exchange by a holder of Genesis Class A Units for Class A Common Stock or cash may result in an increase in the Companys indirect share of the tax basis in the assets owned by Genesis and the Genesis Subsidiaries. Any such increases in tax basis are likely to increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and therefore reduce the amount of income tax that the Company otherwise would be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gain (or increase loss) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the
3
extent the increased tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. These increases in tax basis would not be available in the absence of the Transactions and the exchanges of Genesis Class A Units for Class A Common Stock or cash. The Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ), however, may challenge all or part of the existing tax basis, tax basis increase and increased deductions, and a court could sustain such a challenge.
Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefits deemed realized by the Company as a result of the increase in tax basis attributable to the Genesis Members generally will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company to the amount of such taxes that the Company would have been required to pay had there been no such increase in tax basis.
The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will continue until all applicable tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement and make an early termination payment.
Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. The actual increase in tax basis and deductions, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including:
| the timing of exchangesfor instance, the increase in any tax deductions will vary depending on the fair value of the depreciable or amortizable assets of Genesis and the Genesis Subsidiaries at the time of each exchange, which fair value may fluctuate over time; |
| the price of shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchangethe increase in any tax deductions, and the tax basis increase in other assets of Genesis and the Genesis Subsidiaries is directly proportional to the price of shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange; and |
| the amount and timing of the Companys incomethe Company will be required to pay 90% of the deemed benefits as and when deemed realized. If the Company does not have taxable income, the Company generally is not required (absent a change of control or circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no benefit will have been actually realized. However, any tax benefits that do not result in realized benefits in a given tax year likely will generate tax attributes that may be utilized to generate benefits in previous or future tax years. The utilization of such tax attributes will result in payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. |
The Tax Receivable Agreement also provides that upon certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the Companys (or its successors) obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement would be based on certain assumptions, including that (1) the Company would have taxable income in each taxable year ending on or after such change of control at least equal to the Companys taxable income for the 12-month period ending on the last day of the month immediately preceding the date of such change of control; (2) all non-amortizable assets would be deemed to be disposed of in 15 years; and (3) for purposes of calculating the payments to be made to the Genesis Members that have actually exchanged their Genesis Class A Units, all Genesis Class A Units will be deemed to be exchanged at the time of the change of control. As a result of these assumptions, the Company could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are greater or less than the specified percentage of the actual benefits realized by the Company that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, if the Company elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, it would be required to make an early termination payment, which upfront payment may be made significantly in advance of the anticipated future tax benefits.
Payments generally are due under the Tax Receivable Agreement within a specified period of time following the filing of the Companys U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year with respect to which the payment obligation arises, although interest on such payments will begin to accrue at a rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points from the due date (with extensions) of such tax return.
Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will be based on the tax reporting positions that the Company will determine. Although the Company does not expect the IRS to challenge the Companys tax reporting positions, the Company will not be reimbursed for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, but any overpayments will reduce future payments. As a result, in certain circumstances, payments could be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of the benefits that the Company actually realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Tax Receivable Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Tax Receivable Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K.
Real Estate Bridge Loan
On February 2, 2015, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a $360,000,000 loan (the Real Estate Bridge Loan ) advanced by HCN which is secured by (x) a mortgage lien on each of the properties owned by such subsidiaries, and (y) a second lien on certain receivables of the operators of such properties.
4
The Real Estate Bridge Loan is subject to a 24-month term with two extension options of 90-days each and accrues interest at a rate equal to LIBOR, plus 6.75%, plus an additional margin that ranges up to 7.00% based on the aggregate number of days that the Real Estate Bridge Loan is outstanding. The interest rate is also subject to a LIBOR interest rate floor of 0.50%. The Real Estate Bridge Loan is subject to payments of interest only during the term with a balloon payment due at maturity; provided, that to the extent the subsidiaries receive any net proceeds from the sale and/or refinance of the properties such net proceeds are required to be used to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Real Estate Bridge Loan.
The Company has guaranteed the full payment of the Real Estate Bridge Loan.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On February 2, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with the lenders and L/C issuers party thereto, and General Electric Capital Corporation as administrative agent (the Revolving Credit Facilities ). The Revolving Credit Facilities provide for a senior secured, asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $550,000,000 under three separate tranches: Tranche A-1, Tranche A-2 and FILO Tranche. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to either (x) a base rate (calculated as the highest of the (i) prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 3.00%, or (iii) LIBOR plus the excess of the applicable margin between LIBOR loans and base rate loans) plus an applicable margin or (y) LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the level of commitments for all three tranches, and in regards to LIBOR loans (i) for Tranche A-1 ranges from 3.25% to 2.75%; (ii) for Tranche A-2 ranges from 3.00% to 2.50%; and (iii) for FILO Tranche is 5.00%.
The Revolving Credit Facilities mature on February 2, 2020; provided that, if the Term Loan Facility (as defined below) or the Real Estate Bridge Loan maturities are not extended or the loans are not refinanced prior to their current maturities on December 4, 2017 and February 28, 2017 (or such later date pursuant to the permitted extensions under the Real Estate Bridge Loan), respectively, with longer term debt, the Revolving Credit Facilities will mature 90 days prior to such maturity date, as applicable.

The holders of shares of Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, such dividend or other distribution on the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.
(iii) In the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares), then the holders of Class A Common Stock shall receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be), holders of Class B Common Stock shall receive shares of Class B Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be), and holders of Class C Common Stock shall receive shares of Class C Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be), with the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable.
3
(c) Liquidation, Dissolution, etc. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up (either voluntary or involuntary) of the Corporation, after payments to creditors of the Corporation that may at the time be outstanding and subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock that may then be outstanding, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably, in proportion to the number of shares held by them, all remaining assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution; provided , however, that, for purposes of any such distribution, each share of Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the same distribution as would have been payable if such shares of Class C Common Stock had been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the record date for such Distribution, with such share of Class C Common Stock converted into a fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Ratio and (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect.
(d) Reclassification . None of the Class A Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock or the Class C Common Stock may be subdivided, consolidated, reclassified, or otherwise changed unless contemporaneously therewith the other class of Common Stock and the OP Class A Common Units (as defined below) are subdivided, consolidated, reclassified, or otherwise changed in the same proportion and in the same manner.
(e) Exchange . The holder of each limited liability company interest of FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the OP ), designated as a LLC Class A Common Unit (an OP Class A Common Unit ), other than OP Class A Common Units held by the Corporation, shall, pursuant to terms and subject to the conditions of the limited liability company operating agreement of the OP (the OP LLC Agreement ) and as set forth hereunder, have the right to exchange each such OP Class A Common Unit for a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of one (1) multiplied by the Adjustment Factor (as defined in the OP LLC Agreement).
(i) In connection with such exercise of the exchange privilege under the OP LLC Agreement, the Corporation shall (unless and to the extent the OP has elected in accordance with the terms and provisions of the OP LLC Agreement to pay cash in lieu of shares of Class A Common Stock) issue to the OP a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in exchange for OP Class A Common Units, equal to the product of the Adjustment Factor multiplied by the number of OP Class A Common Units surrendered to the OP by the exchanging holder.
(ii) Concurrently with such exercise of the exchange privilege under the OP LLC Agreement, a number of shares of Class C Common Stock equal to the lesser of (x) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued as a result of such exchange and (y) the number of shares of Class C Common Stock
4
then outstanding (the lesser of (x) and (y) is the Class C Conversion Amount ) shall automatically, without further action by the exchanging holder or holders thereof, be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock on the basis of a fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class C Common Stock so converted equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Ratio multiplied by (B) the Adjustment Factor then in effect. The shares of Class C Common Stock to be converted into Class A Common Stock in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be those owned by the exchanging holder of OP Class A Common Units; if such exchanging holder does not hold a number of shares of Class C Common Stock equal to or greater than the Class C Conversion Amount, then all of the shares of Class C Common Stock held by such exchanging holder, if any, shall be converted into Class A Common Stock and an aggregate number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by other holders equal to the excess of (x) Class C Conversion Amount over (y) the number of shares of Class C Common Stock, if any, held by such exchanging holder shall be converted into Class A Common Stock, apportioned among all other holders of shares of Class C Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by each. All such shares of Class C Common Stock that shall have been automatically converted as herein provided shall be retired and resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of Class C Common Stock, and all rights of the holder with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall thereupon cease and terminate. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of Class C Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay to the holder cash equal to the Value of the fractional shares of Class A Common Stock.
The term Value means, on any Valuation Date with respect to a share of Class A Common Stock, the average of the daily Market Prices for ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Valuation Date. The term Market Price on any date means, with respect to any outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, the last sale price for such shares of Class A Common Stock, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, for such shares of Class A Common Stock, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if such shares of Class A Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported on the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which such shares of Class A Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading or, if such shares of Class A Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price, or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the principal automated quotation system that may then be in use or, if such shares of Class A Common Stock are not quoted by any such system, the average of the closing bid and asked
5
prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such shares of Class A Common Stock selected by the Board of Directors or, in the event that no trading price is available for such shares of Class A Common Stock, the fair market value of the shares of Class A Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. The term Valuation Date means the date of receipt by the managing member of the OP of a notice of redemption, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the OP LLC Agreement, or such other date as specified herein, or, if such date is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day.
(iii) Such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as may from time to time be required for exchange pursuant to the terms of Clause (2)(e)(ii) of this Article FOURTH shall be reserved for issuance upon exchange of outstanding OP Class A Common Units.
(f) Conversion of Class B Common Stock .
(i) Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to convert at any time all or any portion of such holders Class B Common Stock into shares of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Stock at the ratio of one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock so converted.
(ii) The holders of a majority of the voting power of all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to cause the conversion at any time all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Stock at the ratio of one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock so converted. In the event of any such conversion, each share of Class B Common Stock which is then outstanding shall automatically, and without any notice to or action by the Corporation, the holder or any other Person, convert into one share of Class A Common Stock.
(iii) The right to convert shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock as provided by Clause (2)(f)(i) of this Article FOURTH and the first sentence of Clause (2)(f)(ii) of this Article FOURTH shall be exercised by the surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates (or a letter of transmittal representing the transfer of book-entry entitlements in lieu thereof) representing the shares to be converted at any time during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, accompanied by a written notice of the holder of such shares stating that such holder desires to convert such shares, or a stated number of the shares represented by such certificate or certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof), into shares of Class A Common Stock, as shall be stated in such notice, and, if certificates representing any of the shares to be issued upon such conversion are to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the share or shares converted, accompanied by an instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation
6
for the Common Shares, duly executed by such holder or such holders duly authorized attorney. As promptly as practicable following the surrender for conversion of a certificate (or a letter of transmittal representing the transfer of book-entry entitlements in lieu thereof) representing shares to be converted with the notice and in the manner provided in this paragraph, the Corporation shall issue to such holder a certificate or certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) representing, the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, in such name or names as such holder may have directed. The issuance of certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) for, or registration on the stock transfer books of the Corporation of, shares upon such a conversion shall be made without charge to the holders of the shares to be converted for any stamp or other similar stock transfer or documentary tax assessed in respect of such issuance. Any such conversion of shares shall be considered to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or a letter of transmittal representing the transfer of book-entry entitlements in lieu thereof) representing the shares to be converted accompanied by the required notice and payment, if any. Upon the date any such conversion is deemed effected, all rights of the holder of the converted shares as such holder shall cease (except as to matters for which the record date was prior to such conversion), and the person or persons in whose name or names the registration of, or certificate or certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) representing, the shares to be issued upon conversion of the shares surrendered for conversion shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such surrender and payment occurs on any date when the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed, the person or persons in whose name or names the registration of the, or certificate or certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) representing, shares are to be so issued shall be deemed the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes immediately prior to the close of business on the next succeeding day on which the stock transfer books are open.
(iv) In the event of any conversion effected automatically without notice pursuant to Clause (2)(f)(ii) of this Article FOURTH, until the certificates (or a letter of transmittal representing the transfer of book-entry entitlements in lieu thereof) representing shares which have been converted shall have been surrendered to the Corporation, such certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) shall represent the appropriate number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by such certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) shall have been converted or, if not all shares have been so converted, the appropriate number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by such certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) shall have been converted and the appropriate number of shares of Class B Common Stock represented by such certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) that have not been so converted. Upon surrender by any holder of certificates (or a letter of transmittal representing the transfer of book-entry entitlements in lieu thereof) representing
7
shares which have been automatically converted pursuant to Clause (2)(f)(ii) of this Article FOURTH the Corporation shall record, or cause to be recorded, on the Corporations stock transfer books, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which shares of Class B Common Stock represented by the surrendered certificates (or a letter of transmittal representing the transfer of book-entry entitlements in lieu thereof) shall have been converted and, if not all shares of Class B Common Stock represented by the surrendered certificates (or book-entries made in lieu thereof) have been so converted, the appropriate number of shares of Class B Common Stock that have not been so converted. Upon conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, all rights of the holder of the converted shares as such holder shall cease (except as to matters for which the record date was prior to such conversion), and the holder of such converted shares and/or such holders transferee(s) shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. Any such conversion of shares shall be considered to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date such conversion has been automatically effected, or if such automatic conversion is effected on any date when the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed, such automatic conversion shall be considered to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the next succeeding day on which the stock transfer books are open.
(v) Shares of Class B Common Stock that are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock (or another security) as provided herein shall continue as authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock and shall be available for reissue by the Corporation; provided, however, that no shares of Class B Common Stock shall be re-issued at any time when no shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding.
(g) Transfers .
(i) Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, and each share of Class C Common Stock shall be automatically converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock with each share of Class C Common Stock converted into a fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Ratio multiplied by (B) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, in each case without further action of the holder thereof upon the occurrence of any direct sale, pledge (other than to a bank or institutional lender to secure a loan for borrowed money), conveyance, hypothecation, assignment or other transfer ( Transfer ) of such share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock to any Person, other than (A) any affiliate, partner, member or other equityholder of such holder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any Transfer by way of distribution to partners, members or other equityholders in connection with a holders dissolution), (B) any Family Member or Controlled Entity (each as defined in the OP LLC
8
Agreement) of such holder, (C) a trust of such holder for estate tax planning purposes or (D) the estate of a deceased holder. Each share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock subject to such conversion shall, upon such conversion, be deemed to represent such Common Stock as a result of a conversion and upon surrender by such holder to the Corporation of any outstanding certificate(s) (or a letter of transmittal representing the transfer of book-entry entitlements in lieu thereof) formerly representing such holders shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable, issue the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such holders shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock were converted as a result of such conversion. Each share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Clause (2)(g) of this Article FOURTH shall thereupon be retired and resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable, and all rights of the holder with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall thereupon cease and terminate. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay (or, in the case of a conversion of shares of Class C Common Stock, cause the OP to pay) to the holder cash equal to the Value of the fractional shares of Class A Common Stock. The term Person means both natural persons and legal entities.
(ii) The Corporation may, as a condition to the Transfer or the registration of Transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, require the furnishing of such affidavits or other proof as it deems necessary to establish whether such transfer would result in an automatic conversion pursuant to the terms of Clause (2)(g)(i) of this Article FOURTH.

(4) Power to Sell and Purchase Shares . Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Corporation shall have the power to issue and sell all or any part of any shares of any class of stock herein or hereafter authorized to such persons, and for such consideration, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time, in its discretion, determine, whether or not greater consideration could be received upon the issue or sale of (i) the same number of shares of such class to another person or (ii) the same number of shares of another class, and as otherwise permitted by law; provided , however, that the Corporation shall only be permitted to issue and sell shares of (a) Class A Common Stock to the extent such issuance and sale complies with the OP LLC Agreement and (b) Class C Common Stock in connection with the issuance by the OP of OP Class A Common Units in connection with any new capital raises, reclassifications, interest splits or exchanges, distributions, mergers or other business combinations, or recapitalizations. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Corporation shall have the power to purchase any shares of any class of stock herein or hereafter authorized from such persons, and for such consideration, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time, in its discretion, determine, whether or not less consideration could be paid upon the purchase of (i) the same number of shares of such class from another person or (ii) the same number of shares of another class, and as otherwise permitted by law. In the event that the Corporation determines to repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall, as the managing member of the OP, cause the OP to repurchase from the Corporation an equal number of OP Class A Common Units and the proceeds received by the Corporation from the OP in such repurchase shall be used by the Corporation to fund the Corporations repurchase of shares of Class A Common Stock.

Any director may resign at any time in accordance with the Bylaws.
(5) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with directors initially assigned to each class by resolution adopted by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors. Directors in each class shall serve for a term of three years.

Any director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the other directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his predecessor.

Special Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may not be called by any other person or persons.
EIGHTH : Any action required or permitted to be taken at any Annual or Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and the Corporations Bylaws.

TENTH : The Bylaws may be amended, altered, changed or repealed, in whole or in part, either (i) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors (subject to any bylaw requiring the affirmative vote of a larger percentage of the members of the Board of Directors), or (ii) without the approval of the Board of Directors, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in connection with the election of directors of the Corporation.

Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided , however , that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

12
or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (ii) the material facts as to the directors or officers relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders.

Subject to Section 8.3 , the Corporation 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, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such persons conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such persons conduct was unlawful.
Section 8.2 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation . Subject to Section 8.3 , the Corporation 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 or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 8.3 Authorization of Indemnification . Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 , as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i)
19
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, 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, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
Section 8.4 Indemnification by a Court . Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 8.3 , and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 . The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 8.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
Section 8.5 Expenses Payable in Advance . Expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by a present or former director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII . Such expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by employees and agents (other than present and former directors and officers) may be so paid upon such additional terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.
Section 8.6 Non-exclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such persons official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise.
20
Section 8.7 Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, 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 in any such capacity, or arising out of such persons status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII .
Section 8.8 Certain Definitions . For purposes of this Article VIII , references to the Corporation shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. The term another enterprise as used in this Article VIII shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to fines shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to serving at the request of the Corporation shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation as referred to in this Article VIII .
Section 8.9 Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 8.10 Limitation on Indemnification . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 8.4 ), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

denominator of which shall be the Value of a Class A Share as of such record date less the then fair market value (as determined by Genesis, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed applicable to one Class A Share; provided , however , that Genesis agrees that it shall not make a dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (iii) unless and until approved by a majority of members of the Board of Directors and as long as such approval shall not be objected to by any members of the Board of Directors who qualify as Non-FC Gen Directors.

Section 6.4 Transactions with Affiliates .
(a) The Company may lend or contribute funds or other assets to Genesis and its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which Genesis has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Company, on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than would be available from unaffiliated third parties as determined by Genesis. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Member or any other Person. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by each Member that Genesis or the Managing Member may (i) borrow funds from the Company in order to redeem, at any time or from time to time, options or warrants previously or hereafter issued by Genesis, (ii) put to the Company, for cash, any rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities that Genesis may desire or be required to purchase or redeem or (iii) borrow funds from the Company to acquire interests in any entity whose assets would be treated as Excluded Assets or will be contributed to the Company for Company Units.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.3 , the Company may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships, corporations, business trusts or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.
(c) The Managing Member may propose and adopt on behalf of the Company employee benefit plans funded by the Company for the benefit of employees of the Managing Member, the Company, Subsidiaries of the Company or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Managing Member, the Company or any of the Companys Subsidiaries.
Section 6.5 Liability of Members .
(a) Neither the Managing Member nor officers and directors thereof shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for any losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of such Person or such other Person if the act or failure to act of such Person or such other Person was in good faith, within the scope of such Persons authority, and in a manner it believed to be in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Company.
(b) The Managing Member and all officers and directors thereof shall at all times act in a manner that is consistent with its implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. So long as the Managing Member or such officer or director, as applicable, acts in a manner consistent with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing and with the express provisions of this Agreement, such Person shall not be in breach of any duties (including fiduciary duties) in respect of the Company and/or any Member otherwise applicable at law or in equity. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they expand, restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of such Persons otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace fully and completely such other duties and liabilities of such Persons. Subject to the foregoing but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement the Managing Member or any officers or directors thereof is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action (i) in its sole discretion or discretion or under a similar grant of authority or latitude, in making such decisions, such Person shall be entitled to take into account its own interests as well as the interests of the Members as a whole or (ii) in its good faith or under another expressed standard, such Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.
(c) The Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors, and any act or omission suffered or taken by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or financial or other advisors (including a financial advisory Affiliate of the Company) will be full justification for any such act or omission, and the Managing Member will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected with reasonable care.
Section 6.6 Indemnification .
(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee (and such persons heirs, successors, assigns, executors or administrators) to the full extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquid or illiquid (collectively, Liabilities ) arising from any and any threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals ( Actions ), in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was the Managing Member or an officer or director thereof if (i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith, within the scope of such Indemnitees authority, and in a manner it believed to be in, or not contrary to, the best interests of the Company, (ii) the Action was not initiated by the Indemnitee (other than an action to enforce such Indemnitees rights to indemnification or advance of expenses under this Section 6.6 ) and (iii) the Indemnitee has not been established by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption or otherwise constitute evidence that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above.
(b) Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Action, subject to this Section 6.6 shall be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such Action upon receipt by the Company of a written commitment by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.6 .
(c) Any indemnification obligations of the Company arising under this Section 6.6 shall be satisfied out of operating or capital proceeds attributable to Excluded Assets or any Company assets (including any amounts otherwise currently or subsequently distributable to any Member(s)).
(d) The right to indemnification provided hereby shall not be exclusive of, and shall not affect, any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be
entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Companys activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.
(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or the Managing Member (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the IRS, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities or judgments or fines under this Section 6.6 .
(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.6 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(h) The provisions of this Section 6.6 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.6 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Companys liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 6.6 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
(i) It is the intent of the parties that any amounts paid by the Company to Genesis or the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be treated as guaranteed payments within the meaning of Code Section 707(c).

If the Managing Member determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk of requiring the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or otherwise violating any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Company Units, the Managing Member may prohibit any Transfer otherwise permitted under this Section 10.3 by a Non-Managing Member of Membership Interests.
(iii) Minimum Transfer Restriction .

All distributions of Available Cash attributable to such Company Unit with respect to which the Company Record Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment or Redemption shall be made to the transferor Member or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a Redemption, all distributions of Available Cash thereafter attributable to such Company Unit shall be made to the transferee Member.

in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a disqualified person (as defined in Code Section 4975(c)); (v) if the Managing Member determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk that any portion of the assets of the Company would constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations section 2510.2-101; (vi) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Membership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if the Managing Member determines that such Transfer creates a material risk that the Company would become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; or (viii) if such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended.
(e) Transfers pursuant to this Article X may only be made on the first day of any month, unless the Managing Member otherwise agrees.

Section 11.2 Members; Admission of Additional Members .
(a) A Person (other than a then-existing Member) who makes a Capital Contribution to the Company in exchange for Company Units and in accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Company as an Additional Member only upon furnishing to the Managing Member with (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Member, of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the power of attorney granted in Section 15.1 , (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Person, (iii) Consent by Spouse, if applicable, and (iv) such other documents or instruments as may be required by the Managing Member in order to effect such Persons admission as an Additional Member.

(iii) Subject to the terms of any Company Unit Designation, the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with Section 4.1.
The Managing Member shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XII .

Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Holders, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

(i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Managing Member and the Holders for the purpose of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Managing Member arising out of or in connection with the Company and/or Company activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Holders, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement; or
(ii) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Holders in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 12.3(a) as soon as practicable.
Section 12.4 Deemed Contribution and Distribution .

exchange for an interest in the new partnership; and immediately thereafter, distributed Company Units to the Members in the new partnership in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts in liquidation of the Company, and the new company is deemed to continue the business of the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended without the Consent of the Managing Member.
Section 13.3 Procedures for Meetings and Actions of the Members .
(a) Meetings of the Members may be called only by the Managing Member. The call shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members entitled to act at the meeting not less than ten (10) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such meeting. Members may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Unless approval by a different number or proportion of the Members is required by this Agreement, or any Company Unit Designation, the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest of the Members shall be sufficient to approve such proposal at a meeting of the Members. Whenever the Consent of any Members is permitted or required under this Agreement, such Consent may be given at a meeting of Members or in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 13.3(b) .
(b) Any action requiring the Consent of any Member or a group of Members pursuant to this Agreement, or that is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken or consented to is given by Members whose affirmative vote would be sufficient to approve such action or provide such Consent at a meeting of the Members. Such Consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of such Members at a meeting of the Members. Such Consent shall be filed with the Managing Member. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission, the Managing Member may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the Managing Members recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided , however , that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior to such specified time.
(c) Each Member entitled to act at a meeting of Members may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Each proxy must be signed by the Member or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Companys receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Member executing such proxy, unless such proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.
(d) The Managing Member may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining the Members (i) entitled to Consent to any action, (ii) entitled to receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the Members or (iii) in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety (90) days and, in the case of a meeting of the Members, not less than ten (10) days, before the date on which the meeting is to be held. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of the meeting is sent, and the record date for any other determination of Members shall be the effective date of such Member action, distribution or other event. When a determination of the Members entitled to vote at any meeting of the Members has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.
(e) Each meeting of Members shall be conducted by the Managing Member or such other Person as the Managing Member may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the Managing Member or such other Person deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limitation, meetings of Members may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of Genesis stockholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of Genesis stockholders.
ARTICLE XIV
REDEMPTION RIGHTS
Section 14.1 Redemption Rights of Qualifying Parties .
(a) A Qualifying Party shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to exchange all or a portion of the Company Class A Common Units held by such Qualifying Party (Company Common Units that have in fact been tendered for redemption being hereafter referred to as Tendered Units ) for the Class A Shares Amount or, at the sole and absolute election of the independent members of the Board of Directors (such independent members to be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the New York Stock Exchange rules, or, identified as such in Genesis annual proxy statement) on behalf of the Managing Member, for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date (in each case, a Redemption ), in each case pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Charter and the provisions of this Article XIV . Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Managing Member by the Qualifying Party when exercising the Redemption right (the Tendering Party ). In the event that the Managing Member elects to redeem all or a portion of the Tendered Units in exchange for the applicable Cash Amount, then the Tendering Party shall have the right, at any time during the five (5) Business Days following such election by the Managing Member, to rescind the Notice of Redemption pursuant to a written notice (the Rescission Notice ) and retain its Company Class A Common Units or Company Class B Common Units, as applicable. If the Tendering Party does not provide a Rescission Notice, the applicable Cash Amount shall be delivered by the Managing Member as a certified or bank check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the Managing Members sole and absolute discretion, by wire transfer of funds on or before the Specified Redemption Date.
(b) If the Managing Member does not elect on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date to redeem all of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Party in exchange for the Cash Amount, then the portion of the Tendered Units not being redeemed for the Cash Amount shall be redeemed for the Class A Shares Amount calculated based on the portion of Tendered Units to be acquired in exchange for Class A Shares (such percentage being referred to as the Applicable Percentage ). The Tendering Party shall submit such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary, in the Managing Members view, to effect compliance with the Securities Act. A number of Class A Shares equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the Class A Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered by Genesis to the Managing Member for delivery to the Tendering Party as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Shares and, if applicable, Rights, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than restrictions provided in the Charter, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or blue sky laws. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, the Tendering Party shall be deemed the owner of such Class A Shares and Rights for all purposes, including rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. Class A Shares issued in connection with a Redemption pursuant to this Section 14.1(b) may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as Genesis in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws.
(c) The Company may elect to raise funds for the payment of any applicable Cash Amount (i) solely by requiring that Genesis or its Subsidiaries contribute to the Company funds from (A) the proceeds of a registered public offering by Genesis of Class A Shares sufficient to purchase the Tendered Units or (B) any other sources available to Genesis or its Subsidiaries or (ii) with the consent of the Tendering Party, from any other sources available to the Company. To the extent determined by the Managing Member, the Company will treat such a transaction as a disguised sale of partnership interests under Code Section 707(a)(2)(B). If the Cash Amount is not paid on or before the Specified Redemption Date, interest shall accrue with respect to the Cash Amount from the day after the Specified Redemption Date to and including the date on which the Cash Amount is paid at a rate equal to the Applicable Federal Short-Term Rate as published monthly by the IRS.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Redemption pursuant to this Section 14.1 :
(i) Without the consent of the Managing Member, no Tendering Party may effect a Redemption for less than Company Class A Common Units having a Value of at least $5,000,000 (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Managing Member) or, if such Tendering Party holds less than Company Class A Common Units having a Value of at least $5,000,000 (as adjusted for any unit split, unit distribution, reverse unit split, reclassification or similar event, in each case with such adjustment being determined by the Managing Member), all of the Company Class A Common Units held by such Tendering Party.
(ii) If (A) a Tendering Party surrenders Tendered Units during the period after the Company Record Date with respect to a distribution payable to Holders of Company Common Units, and before the record date established by Genesis for a dividend to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such Company distribution, and (B) the Managing Member, on behalf of Genesis, elects to redeem any of such Tendered Units in exchange for Class A Shares pursuant to Section 14.1(b) , then such Tendering Party shall pay to the Managing Member for payment to Genesis on the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash equal to the Company distribution paid or payable in respect of such Tendered Units.
(iii) The consummation of such Redemption shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
(iv) The Tendering Party shall continue to own (subject, in the case of an Assignee, to the provisions of Section 10.5 ) all Company Common Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Non-Managing Member or an Assignee, as applicable, with respect to such Company Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until the Specified Redemption Date and until such Tendered Units are redeemed. Until a Specified Redemption Date and a redemption of the Tendered Units by the Managing Member for the Class A Share Amount, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a stockholder of Genesis with respect to the Class A Shares issuable in connection with such acquisition.
(v) The Managing Member shall establish one or more dates in each Fiscal Year as a date on which the Qualifying Party shall be permitted to deliver a Notice of Redemption. The Managing Member may permit, in writing or orally, one or more Qualifying Parties to submit a Notice of Redemption on such other dates, such permission to be granted, withheld or granted on such terms and conditions as determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Profits Interest Units, any Member may exchange such Profits Interest Units only to the extent such Members Adjusted Capital Account attributable to such Profits Interest Units at the time of the exchange represents the same percentage of the aggregate Adjusted Capital Account balances of all Members of the Company as the percentage interest represented by such Profits Interest Units to be exchanged. The determination in this Section 14.1(e) shall be calculated as if each Excluded Asset had been contributed to the Company pursuant to Section 3.9 . For the avoidance of doubt, the exchanging Member may designate the portion of his or her Capital Account attributable to one or more Company Units being exchanged.
(f) Upon redemption of any Class A Common Unit, the Company shall convert a number of Class C Common Units held by the Managing Member equal to the number of Class C Shares that were converted in connection with such Class A Common Unit
redemption and issue to the Managing Member a number of Class A Units equal to the number of whole Class A Shares issued upon such conversion and pay to the Managing Member for payment to Genesis an amount in cash equal to the cash paid to holders of the Class C Shares converted in lieu of fractional shares.

Section 15.13 Confidentiality . To the greatest extent permitted by law, Non-Managing Members rights to access or receive any information about the Company or its business are conditioned on such Non-Managing Members willingness and ability to assure that the Company information will be used solely by such Non-Managing Member for purposes reasonably related to such Non-Managing Members interest as a Non-Managing Member, and that such Company information will not become publicly available as a result of such Non-Managing Members rights to access or receive such Company information. Each Non-Managing Member hereby acknowledges that the Company creates and will be in possession of confidential information, the improper use or disclosure of which could have a material adverse effect upon the Genesis Entities and their respective Affiliates. Each Non-Managing Member further acknowledges and agrees that the Company information constitutes a valuable trade secret of the Company and agrees to maintain any Company information provided to it in the strictest confidence. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(a) Notwithstanding Article VIII , the Managing Member shall have the right to keep confidential from the Non-Managing Members (and their respective agents and attorneys) for such period of time as the Managing Member deems reasonable, any information: (i) that the Managing Member believes to be in the nature of trade secrets; (ii) other information, the disclosure of which the Managing Member believes is not in the best interest of the Genesis Entities or could damage any of the Genesis Entities or their respective businesses; or (iii) which the Managing Member (or its Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, members, partners or personnel) or any Genesis Entity is required by law or by agreement with a third party to keep confidential; provided , that the Managing Member shall make available to a Non-Managing Member, upon reasonable request, information required by such Non-Managing Member or its Affiliates to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations (foreign or domestic), as well as any requests from any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory body or stock exchange having jurisdiction over such Non-Managing Member or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, in no event shall the Managing Member be required to disclose to any Non-Managing Member the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Member (or any other investor in any other Genesis Entity) unless it is required to do so by law applicable to it, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Except as permitted by this Section 15.13 or as required by applicable law, each party hereto (other than the Managing Member) agrees that the provisions of this Agreement, all of the information and documents described in Article VIII , all understandings, agreements and other arrangements between and among the parties (or any of them), and all other non-public information received from, or otherwise relating to, any Genesis Entity, any Non-Managing Members, the Managing Member and/or their respective Affiliates shall be confidential, and shall not disclose or otherwise release to any other Person (other than another party hereto) such matters, without the written consent of the Managing Member.
(c) The confidentiality obligations of the parties under this Section 15.13 shall not apply: (i) to the disclosure by a Non-Managing Member of information to the other Non-Managing Members or such Non-Managing Members Affiliates, partners, officers, agents, board members, trustees, attorneys, auditors, employees, prospective transferees permitted hereunder, financial advisors and other professional advisors ( provided , that such prospective transferees and other Persons agree to hold confidential such information substantially in accordance with this Section 15.13 or are otherwise bound by a duty of confidentiality to such Non-Managing Member) solely on a need-to-know basis, which Persons shall be bound by this Section 15.13 as if they were Non-Managing Members, (ii) to information already known to the general public at the time of disclosure or that became known prior to such disclosure through no act or omission by any Non-Managing Member (or any investor in any other Genesis Entity) or any Person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing, (iii) to information received from a source not bound by a duty of confidentiality to any Genesis Entity, any Member or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, (iv) to any party to the extent that the disclosure by such party of information otherwise determined to be confidential is required by applicable law (foreign or domestic) or legal process (including pursuant to an arbitration proceeding), or by any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory body or stock exchange with jurisdiction over such party, (v) to disclosures made in connection with any lawsuit initiated to enforce any rights granted under this Agreement, or (vi) to the disclosure of confidential information to rating agencies to the extent such disclosure is required by such rating agencies; provided, that prior to disclosing such confidential information, a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notify the Managing Member thereof, which notice shall include the basis upon which such party believes the information is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 15.13(c) permit any Non-Managing Member to disclose the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Member (or any other investor in any other Genesis Entity), without the prior written consent of the Managing Member (which may be given or withheld in the Managing Members sole discretion) unless the Non-Managing Member delivers to the Managing Member a written opinion of counsel to the Non-Managing Member (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Managing Member) to the effect that such disclosure is required under applicable law.
(d) To the extent that a Non-Managing Member is subject to the United States Freedom of Information Act or any similar public disclosure or public records act statutes: (i) such Non-Managing Member acknowledges the Managing Members and the Companys position that the information intended to be protected by the provisions of Sections 15.13(a) and 15.13(b) constitutes or includes sensitive financial data, proprietary data, commercial and financial information and/or trade secrets that are being provided to and/or entered into with the Non-Managing Member with the specific understanding that such documents and information will remain confidential; (ii) the Managing Member advises each such Non-Managing Member that the documents and information intended to be protected by the provisions of Sections 15.13(a) and 15.13(b) would not be supplied to such Non-Managing Member without an understanding that such documents and information will be held and treated by such Non-Managing Member as confidential information; and (iii) to the extent that such Non-Managing Member is nevertheless required to disclose any such confidential information, (A) such Non-Managing Member shall, unless legally prohibited, give the Managing Member prior notice of any such required disclosure and (B) such Non-Managing Member shall in any event maintain the confidentiality of the Companys information (including this Agreement) to at least the same
extent as, and in a manner no less favorable to the Company and the Managing Member than the manner in which, it maintains the confidentiality of comparable information in respect of any other private investment vehicles in which such Non-Managing Member invests (whether such vehicles are focused on private investments, public investments or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall this Section 15.13(d) permit any Non-Managing Member to disclose the identity of, or any account details relating to, any other Member (or any other investor in any other Genesis Entity), without the prior written consent of the Managing Member (which may be given or withheld in the Managing Members sole discretion) unless the Non-Managing Member delivers to the Managing Member a written opinion of counsel to the Non-Managing Member (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Managing Member) to the effect that such disclosure is required under applicable law.
(e) The Company and the Managing Member shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Non-Managing Member under this Section 15.13 to maintain the confidentiality of the information described herein. The remedies provided for in this Section 15.13 are in addition to and not in limitation of any other right or remedy of the Company or the Managing Member provided by law or equity, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by or among one or more of the Non-Managing Members and/or the Company. Each Non-Managing Member expressly acknowledges that the remedy at law for damages resulting from a breach of this Section 15.13 may be inadequate and that the Company and the Managing Member shall be entitled to institute an action for specific performance of a Non-Managing Members obligations hereunder. The Managing Member shall be entitled to consider the different circumstances of different Non-Managing Members with respect to the restrictions and obligations imposed on Non-Managing Members hereunder to the full extent permitted by law, and, to the full extent permitted by law, the Managing Member may, in its good faith discretion, waive or modify such restrictions and obligations with respect to a Non-Managing Member without waiving or modifying such restrictions and obligations for other Non-Managing Members.
(f) In addition, to the full extent permitted by law, each Non-Managing Member agrees to indemnify the Company and each Indemnitee against any claim, demand, controversy, dispute, cost, loss, damage, expense (including attorneys fees), judgment and/or liability incurred by or imposed upon the Company or any such Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including any proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency), to which the Company or any such Indemnitee may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which the Company or any such Indemnitee shall be threatened, by reason of the Non-Managing Members obligations (or breach thereof) set forth in this Section 15.13 .
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including this Section 15.13 ), the Managing Member may disclose any Confidential Information otherwise subject to the confidentiality obligations of this Section 15.13 to any federal, state, local or foreign regulatory or self-regulatory body or any securities exchange or listing authority to the extent required or requested by such body, exchange or authority, or as necessary and appropriate in connection with filings, or as otherwise legally required.
Section 15.14 Consent to Use of Name . Each Member hereby consents to the use and inclusion of its name in the Companys books and records hereto and any and all other notices or communications required or permitted to be given by the Managing Member to any other Genesis Entity or any member(s) thereof.

Each such Non-Managing Member shall also have such Consent by Spouse executed by any spouse married to him or her at any time subsequent thereto while such natural person is a Non-Managing Member. Each Non-Managing Member agrees and acknowledges that compliance with the requirements of this Section 15.15 by each other Non-Managing Member constitutes an essential part of the consideration for his or her execution of this Agreement.
Section 15.16 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy and all of which shall constitute one agreement, binding on all parties hereto.

EXHIBIT A: EXAMPLES REGARDING ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
For purposes of the following examples, it is assumed that (a) the Adjustment Factor in effect on December 31, 2013 is 1.0 and (b) on January 1, 2014 (the Company Record Date for purposes of these examples), prior to the events described in the examples, there are 100 Class A Shares issued and outstanding.
Example 1
On the Company Record Date, Genesis declares a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares in Class A Shares. The amount of the dividend is one Class A Share paid in respect of each Class A Share owned. Pursuant to Paragraph (i) of the definition of Adjustment Factor , the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Company Record Date, effective immediately after the stock dividend is declared, as follows:
1.0 * 200/100 = 2.0
Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the stock dividend is declared is 2.0.
Example 2
On the Company Record Date, Genesis distributes options to purchase Class A Shares to all holders of its Class A Shares. The amount of the distribution is one option to acquire one Class A Share in respect of each Class A Share owned. The strike price is $4.00 a share. The Value of a Class A Share on the Company Record Date is $5.00 per share. Pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of the definition of Adjustment Factor , the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Company Record Date, effective immediately after the options are distributed, as follows:
1.0 * (100 + 100)/(100 + [100 * $4.00/$5.00]) = 1.1111
Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the options are distributed is 1.1111. If the options expire or become no longer exercisable, then the retroactive adjustment specified in Paragraph (ii) of the definition of Adjustment Factor shall apply.
Example 3
On the Company Record Date, Genesis distributes assets to all holders of its Class A Shares. The amount of the distribution is one asset with a fair market value (as determined by the Managing Member) of $1.00 in respect of each Class A Share owned. It is also assumed that the assets do not relate to assets received by the Managing Member or its Subsidiaries pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Company. The Value of a Class A Share on the Company Record Date is $5.00 a share. Pursuant to Paragraph (iii) of the definition of Adjustment Factor, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Company Record Date, effective immediately after the assets are distributed, as follows:
1.0 * $5.00/($5.00 $1.00) = 1.25
Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the assets are distributed is 1.25.

For purposes of this Agreement, as a result of an Exchange, the Company shall be deemed to be entitled to a Basis Adjustment for each of its Adjusted Assets with respect to the Corporation, the amount of which Basis Adjustment shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of (x) the Amount Realized by the Applicable Member in the Exchange, to the extent attributable to such Adjusted Asset, plus (y) the amount of payments made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, to the extent attributable to such Adjusted Asset, over (ii) the Corporations share of the Companys Tax basis for such Adjusted Asset immediately after the Exchange, attributable to the Common Units Exchanged, determined as if (x) the Company remains in existence as an entity for tax purposes, and (y) the Company had not made the election provided by section 754 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as Imputed Interest.

Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year (a

). The Schedule will become final as provided in
Section 2.04(a) of this Agreement and may be amended as provided in Section 2.04(b) of
this Agreement (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a)).
Section 2.04 Procedures, Amendments
(a) Procedure . Every time the Corporation delivers to the Applicable Member an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.04(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall also (x) deliver to the Applicable Member schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and an Advisory Firm Letter supporting such Schedule and (y) allow the Applicable Member reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives at the Corporation and the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Schedule. The applicable Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless the Applicable Member, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving an Exchange Basis Schedule or amendment thereto or within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving a Tax Benefit Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule ( Objection Notice ) made in good faith. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice, if with respect to an Exchange Basis Schedule, or within 30 calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice, if with respect to a Tax Benefit Schedule, after such Schedule was delivered to the Applicable Member, the Corporation and the Applicable Member shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement (the Reconciliation Procedures ).

ARTICLE III
TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS
Section 3.01 Payments
(a) Within five (5) Business Days of a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to an Applicable Member becoming final in accordance with Section 2.04(a), or earlier in the Corporations discretion, the Corporation shall pay to each Applicable Member for such Taxable Year such Members Allocable Share of the Tax Benefit Payment determined pursuant to Section 3.01(b). Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account of the Applicable Member previously designated by such Member to the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, federal income tax payments.
(b) A Tax Benefit Payment means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount. The Net Tax Benefit for each Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 90% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year over the total amount of payments previously made under this Section 3.01, excluding payments attributable to Interest Amount; provided , however , that for the avoidance of doubt, no Member shall be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The Interest Amount for a given Taxable Year shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation Return with respect to Taxes for the most recently ended Taxable Year until the Payment Date. In the case of a Tax Benefit Payment made in respect of an Amended Schedule, the Interest Amount shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the date of such Amended Schedule becoming final in accordance with Section 2.04(a) until the Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments, whether paid with respect to Units that were Exchanged (i) prior to the date of such Change of Control or (ii) on or after the date of such Change of Control, shall be calculated by using the Change of Control Valuation Assumptions. The Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange, on a Common Unit-by-Common Unit basis by reference to the Amount Realized by the Applicable Member on the Exchange of a Common Unit and the resulting Basis Adjustment to the Corporation.
Section 3.02 Suspension of Tax Benefit Payments Following a Change Notice .
(a) Receipt of Change Notice . If the Company, the Corporation, or an affiliate of either, receives a 30-day letter, a final audit report, a statutory notice of deficiency, or similar written notice from any Taxing Authority relating to the Tax treatment of an Exchange or any other Tax matter relating to this Agreement (a Change Notice ), which, if sustained, would result in (i) a reduction in the amount of Realized Tax Benefit (or the increase in the amount of Realized Tax Detriment) with respect to a Taxable Year preceding the Taxable Year in which the Change Notice is received or (ii) a reduction in the amount of any Tax Benefit Payments the Corporation would be required to pay for any Taxable Years after and including the Taxable Year
11
in which the Change Notice is received (collectively, the Potential Reduction ), prompt written notification (and a copy of the Change Notice) shall be delivered by the Corporation to the potentially affected Members that are party to this Agreement.
(b) Suspension of Payments . From and after the date such Change Notice is received, any Tax Benefit Payments required to be made by the Corporation under this Agreement will be suspended until a Determination is received with respect to the Change Notice, on which date the Tax Benefit Payments (as adjusted as a result of the Determination) will be due.
Section 3.03 No Duplicative Payments . It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in 90% of the Corporations Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit, and the Interest Amount thereon, being paid to the Members pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner so that these fundamental results are achieved.
Section 3.04 Pro Rata Payments . For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent (i) the Corporations deductions with respect to any Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest are limited in a particular Taxable Year, including as a result of the Corporation having insufficient taxable income, or (ii) the Corporation lacks sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year, the limitation on the deductions, or the Tax Benefit Payments that may be made, as the case may be, shall be taken into account or made for the Applicable Member in the same proportion as Tax Benefit Payments would have been made absent the limitations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.
ARTICLE IV
TERMINATION
Section 4.01 Early Termination .
(a) The Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Common Units held (or previously held and exchanged) by all Members at any time by paying to all of the Members the Early Termination Payment; provided , however , that this Agreement shall only terminate upon the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by all Members, and provided , further , that the Corporation may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.01(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payments by the Corporation, neither the Applicable Members nor the Corporation shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Members, other than for any (a) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and an Applicable Member as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (b) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (b) is included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after the Corporation makes the Early Termination Payments with respect to all Members, the Corporation shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, and its only obligations under this Agreement in such case shall be its obligations to all Members under Section 4.03(a).
12

The applicable Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless the Applicable Member, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule thereto provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith ( Material Objection Notice ). If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and the Applicable Member shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement.
Section 4.03 Payment upon Early Termination .
(a) Within three Business Days after agreement between the Applicable Member and the Corporation of the Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall pay to the Applicable Member an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment.

(b) The Early Termination Payment as of the date of the delivery of an Early Termination Schedule shall equal with respect to the Applicable Member the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporation to the Applicable Member beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

(a) Any and all disputes which are not governed by Section 7.09, including but not limited to any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) (each a Dispute ) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce.

Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitrator shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including, but not limited to an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute. The award shall be final and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered, and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Dispute as to the interpretation of this Agreement shall be resolved by the Corporation in its sole discretion, provided that such resolution shall reflect a reasonable interpretation of the provisions of this Agreement and that such resolution shall not be inconsistent with the fundamental results described in Section 3.03 of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the Corporation may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each Member (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.08 to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Corporation as such Members agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such Member of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Member in any such action or proceeding.
18
(c)
(i) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN DELAWARE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 7.08, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the forum designated by this paragraph (c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties relationship with one another;
(ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in paragraph (c) (i) of this Section 7.08 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same; and
(iii) The parties hereby waive in connection with any Dispute any and all rights to a jury trial.
Section 7.09 Reconciliation . In the event that the Corporation and an Applicable Member are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.04, 4.02, and 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement ( Reconciliation Dispute ), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the Expert ) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner in a nationally recognized accounting firm or a law firm (other than the Advisory Firm), and the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with either the Corporation or the Applicable Member or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Exchange Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) Business Days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before the date any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, such payment shall be paid on the date such payment would be due and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The
19
costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporation; except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporation and each Applicable Member shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless the Applicable Member has a prevailing position that is more than ten percent (10%) of the payment at issue, in which case the Corporation shall reimburse such Applicable Member for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.09 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall be binding on the Corporation and the Applicable Member and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
Section 7.10 Withholding . The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Applicable Member.
Section 7.11 Consolidated Group .
(a) Because the Corporation is a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income tax return pursuant to sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments, and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.
(b) If any entity that is obligated to make an Exchange Payment hereunder contributes one or more assets to a corporation with which such entity does not file a consolidated tax return pursuant to section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Exchange Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as if the asset were not transferred but was rather held by the contributing entity in the ordinary course.
Section 7.12 Confidentiality . Each Member and assignee acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Corporation is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporation and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporation, its Affiliates and successors and the other Members, confidential information concerning the Corporation, its Affiliates and successors, and the other Members, including marketing, investment, performance data, credit and financial information, and other business affairs of the Corporation, its Affiliates and successors, and the other Members learned of by the Member heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of such Member in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a
20
Member to prepare and file his or her tax returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any taxing authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any taxing authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Member and assignee (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such Member or assignee, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of (x) the Corporation, the Company, the Members, and their Affiliates and (y) any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Members relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
If a Member or assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Corporation shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or the other Members and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
Section 7.13 LLC Operating Agreement . To the extent this Agreement imposes obligations upon the Company or a managing member of the Company, this Agreement shall be treated as part of the operating agreement of the Company as described in section 761(c) of the Code and sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.
Section 7.14 Joinder . The Corporation hereby agrees that, to the extent it acquires a general partnership interest, managing member interest or similar interest in any Person after the date hereof, it shall cause such Person to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement promptly upon acquisition of such interest, and such person shall be treated in the same manner as the Company for all purposes of this Agreement. The Corporation hereby agrees to cause any Corporate Entity that acquires an interest in the Company (or any entity described in the foregoing sentence) to execute a joinder to this Agreement (to the extent such Person is not already a party hereto) promptly upon such acquisition, and such Corporate Entity shall be treated in the same manner as the Corporation for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company shall have the power and authority (but not the obligation) to permit any Person who becomes a member of the Company to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement promptly upon acquisition of membership interests in the Company by such Person, and such Person shall be treated as a Member for all purposes of this Agreement.
