ARTICLE I

SUPPORT AGREEMENT; COVENANTS

Section 1.1 Compliance with Merger Agreement. The Sponsor Member hereby acknowledges that it has read the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its tax and legal advisors.

Section 1.2 No Transfer. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Article 11 (Termination) thereof, or (c) such date and time as this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 3.1 (the earliest of clause (a), (b) or (c) being the “Expiration Time”), except as expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement or with the prior written consent of Parent, the Sponsor Member shall not (and shall cause Seller not to) and Seller shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, transfer (including by operation of law), hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, encumber or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Subject Securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Subject Securities (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, a “Transfer”), (iii) enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect Transfer by the Sponsor Member or Seller of any Subject Securities, or (iv) knowingly take any action that would have the effect of preventing the Sponsor Member or Seller from performing its respective obligations hereunder or any other action in furtherance of any of the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Transfer to Affiliates of the Sponsor Member or Seller, provided that such transferee agrees in a written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Parent to be bound by this Agreement to the same extent as such Seller or Sponsor Member with respect to such transferred Subject Securities prior to the occurrence of such Transfer. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Subject Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect.

Section 1.3 New Securities. In the event that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the Expiration Time, (a) any Subject Securities are issued to the Sponsor Member or Seller after the date of this Agreement pursuant to any dividend, split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of Subject Securities or otherwise, (b) the Sponsor Member or Seller purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Subject Securities or (c) the Sponsor Member or Seller acquire the right to vote or share in the voting of any Subject Securities (collectively the “New Securities”), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by the Sponsor Member or Seller shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Subject Securities owned by the Sponsor Member or Seller as of the date hereof.

| (a) | to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Seller Liquidation and the Seller Distribution in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement;

| (b) | in any other circumstances upon which a consent or other approval is required under the Seller LLCA or the Company LLCA or a consent or other approval is otherwise sought with respect to the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, to vote, consent or approve (or cause to be voted, consented or approved) all of the Subject Securities held by the Sponsor Member and Seller at such time in favor thereof;

| (c) | against any proposal (including any proposal to amend the Seller LLCA or the Company LLCA) that would change the composition of the Seller Board of Managers such that the Sponsor Member Managers would no longer represent a majority of the voting power of the members of the Seller Board of Managers;

| (d) | against and withhold consent with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal; and

| (e) | against any and all other proposals that would delay or impair the ability of the Company or Seller to consummate the Transactions.

Section 1.5 Proxy.

(a) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Seller, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the Expiration Time, the Sponsor Member hereby irrevocably appoints Seller or any Person designated by Seller as the Sponsor Member’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of the Sponsor Member, to attend on behalf of the Sponsor Member any meeting of the Seller Members with respect to the matters described in Section 1.4, to include the Subject Securities in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Seller Members, to vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Securities or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1.4 in connection with any meeting of the Seller Members or any action by written consent by the Seller Members, in each case, in the event that the Sponsor Member fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1.4.

(b) The proxy granted by the Sponsor Member pursuant to Section 1.4(a) is coupled with an interest sufficient in Law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for Parent entering into the Merger Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by the Sponsor Member pursuant to Section 1.5(a) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by the Sponsor Member and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Sponsor Member with respect to the Subject Securities. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 1.5(a) and with respect to the matters in Section 1.4 shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of the Subject Securities and a vote or consent by the Sponsor Member of the Subject Securities (or any other Person with the power to vote the Subject Securities) with respect to the matters in Section 1.4. The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1.5(a) on any matter except those provided in Section 1.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor Member may vote the Subject Securities on all other matters, subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the other applicable covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

Section 1.7 Appraisal Rights. Seller hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to (and the Sponsor Member shall cause the Seller not to) and the Sponsor Member hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from Transactions that he, she or it may have with respect to the Subject Securities under Applicable Law and agree not to commence, participate in, assist or knowingly encourage in any way any Proceeding to seek (or file any petition related to) appraisal or rights to dissent from the Transactions.

Section 1.8 Shareholder Agreement. The Sponsor Member has delivered (or Seller has caused the Sponsor Member to deliver), substantially simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, a duly executed copy of the Shareholder Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C to the Merger Agreement, which shall be effective as of the Effective Time in accordance with its terms.

Section 1.10 No Inconsistent Agreement. Each of Seller and the Sponsor Member hereby represents and covenants that each of Seller and the Sponsor Member has not entered into, and prior to the Expiration Time, shall not enter into, any agreement that would in any material respect restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of Seller or the Sponsor Member’s obligations hereunder.
