in consideration of our manager’s acquisition of the allocation shares, our operating agreement contains a supplemental put provision
pursuant to which our manager will have the right to cause us to purchase the allocation shares then owned by our manager upon termination
of the management services agreement. If the management services agreement is terminated
at any time or our manager resigns, then our manager will have the right, but not the obligation, for one year from the date of such termination
or resignation, as the case may be, to elect to cause us to purchase all of the allocation shares then owned by our manager for the put
price as of the put exercise date. For purposes of this provision, the “put
price” is equal to, as of any exercise date, (i) if we terminate the management services agreement, the sum of two separate, independently
made calculations of the aggregate amount of manager’s profit allocation as of such exercise date or (ii) if our manager resigns,
the average of two separate, independently made calculations of the aggregate amount of manager’s profit allocation as of such exercise
date, in each case, calculated assuming that (x) all of the businesses are sold in an orderly fashion for fair market value as of such
exercise date in the order in which the controlling interest in each business was acquired or otherwise obtained by us, (y) the last day
of the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to such exercise date is the relevant calculation date for purposes of calculating manager’s
profit allocation as of such exercise date. Each of the two separate, independently made calculations of our manager’s profit allocation
for purposes of calculating the put price will be performed by a different investment bank that is engaged by us at our cost and expense.
The put price will be adjusted to account for a final “true-up” of our manager’s profit allocation. We and our manager can mutually agree to permit
us to issue a note in lieu of payment of the put price when due; provided, that if our manager resigns and terminates the management services
agreement, then we will have the right, in our sole discretion, to issue a note in lieu of payment of the put price when due. In either
case the note would have an aggregate principal amount equal to the put price, would bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.0% per annum,
would mature on the first anniversary of the date upon which the put price was initially due, and would be secured by the then-highest
priority lien available to be placed on our equity interests in each of our businesses. Our obligations under the put provision of our
operating agreement are absolute and unconditional. In addition, we will be subject to certain obligations and restrictions upon exercise
of our manager’s put right until such time as our obligations under the put provision of our operating agreement, including any
related note, have been satisfied in full, includin ● subject to our right to issue a note in the circumstances described above, we must use commercially reasonable
efforts to raise sufficient debt or equity financing to permit us to pay the put price or note when due and obtain approvals, waivers
and consents or otherwise remove any restrictions imposed under contractual obligations or applicable law or regulations that have the
