Article 2
EXCHANGE

 

Section 2.01          Exchanges. (a) Permissible Exchanges. (i) The Company shall establish one or more dates in each fiscal year as a date on which the Members (other than the Highbridge Members) shall be permitted to elect to Exchange, provided that the Company may postpone any such date one or more times and (ii) on the date that is six months after the date of the final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the IPO, the Company shall automatically Exchange all Common Units held by the Highbridge Members (each such date an “Exchange Date”). Except as to the Highbridge Members, the Company shall give notice to each Member of the establishment of an Exchange Date at least 75 and no more than 90 Business Days prior to the Exchange Date. Except as to the Highbridge Members, the Company may permit, in writing or orally, one or more Members to submit an Exchange Request on such other dates, such permission to be granted, withheld or granted on such terms and conditions as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Except as to the automatic Exchange by the Highbridge Members where no Exchange Request shall be required, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Article 2, each Member may, on an Exchange Date, elect to Exchange up to 100% of the Member’s Common Units (together with the corresponding number of Class B Shares, to the extent that such Member holds such Class B Shares) by delivering an Exchange Request to the Company with a copy to OTG EXP at least 60 days prior to the Exchange Date. If the Company does not elect on or before the close of business on the fifth Business Day after the Company’s receipt of an Exchange Request to exchange all of the Common Units set forth in such Exchange Request from such Member (other than Highbridge Members) for the Cash Amount, then the portion of the Common Units set forth in the Exchange Request not being exchanged for the Cash Amount shall be exchanged for Class A Shares based on the Exchange Rate. Upon the automatic Exchange of all of the Common Units held by the Highbridge Members, such Common Units shall be exchanged for Class A Shares based on the Exchange Rate.

 

 

(i)       Each Exchange Request shall set forth the number of Common Units (together with the corresponding number of Class B Shares, to the extent that such Member holds such Class B Shares) such Member wishes to Exchange at the applicable Closing.

 

(ii)      Each Member shall represent in the Exchange Request that such Member owns or will own the Common Units and Class B Shares (to the extent that such Member holds such Class B Shares) to be delivered at the applicable Closing pursuant to Section 2.01(d)(i) and Section 2.01(d)(ii), free and clear of all Liens, except as set forth therein and other than transfer restrictions imposed by or under applicable securities laws and this Agreement and the Operating Agreement, and, if there are any Liens identified in the Exchange Request, such Member shall covenant that such Member will deliver at the applicable Closing evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that all such Liens (other than transfer restrictions imposed by or under applicable securities laws and this Agreement and the Operating Agreement) have been released.

 

(iii)     Upon delivery to the Company, no Exchange Request may be revoked prior to the scheduled Closing of the applicable Exchange unless the Member that has delivered such Exchange Request reimburses all out-of-pocket costs incurred by OTG EXP or the Company with respect to such requested Exchange.

 

(iv)     No Exchange pursuant to an Exchange Request shall be permitted (and, if attempted, shall be void ab initio) if, in the good faith determination of the Company, such Exchange would pose a material risk that the Company would be a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Section 7704 of the Code; provided that an Exchange will not be prohibited on this basis so long as the Company reasonably determines (in its sole discretion) that it continues to satisfy the “private placements” safe harbor pursuant to Section 1.7704-1 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7704 of the Code.

 

 

(v)      Each Exchange pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall be at the Exchange Rate in effect at the applicable Closing.

 

(vi)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Exchange pursuant to an Exchange Request:

 

(A)     Without the consent of the Company, no Member may Exchange less than 50,000 Common Units (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 Company) or, if such Member holds less than 50,000 Common Units (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 Company), all of the Common Units held by such Member.

 

(B)     The consummation of such Exchange 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.

 

(b)           Closing. (i) If an Exchange Request has been delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i), then (subject to Section 2.01(c)) the Closing of such Exchange shall occur on the applicable Exchange Date. The Closing of the automatic Exchange of all of the Common Units held by the Highbridge Members pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii) shall (subject to Section 2.01(c)) occur on the applicable Exchange Date.

 

(ii)       If OTG EXP enters into an agreement to consummate a Business Combination Transaction, OTG EXP shall give each Member at least five Business Days’ notice of the closing thereof and, upon the written request of a Member, OTG EXP shall cause such agreement to (and shall not enter into any such agreement unless it does) provide that such Member shall be entitled to Exchange its Common Units (together with the corresponding number of Class B Shares, to the extent that such Member holds such Class B Shares) immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination Transaction in order for such Member to be able to receive the amount and type of consideration payable pursuant to such Business Combination Transaction to holders of Class A Shares. If any Person commences a tender offer or exchange offer for any of the outstanding shares of OTG EXP’s stock, upon the written request of a Member, OTG EXP shall entitle such Member, at the request of such Member, to Exchange its Common Units (together with the corresponding number of Class B Shares, to the extent that such Member holds such Class B Shares) immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such tender offer or exchange offer in order for such Member to participate in such tender offer or exchange offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that board of directors of OTG EXP approves a Business Combination Transaction and determines in good faith that such Business Combination Transaction involves a bona fide third party and is not for the primary purpose of causing an Exchange hereunder, then upon at least five Business Days’ notice, the mandatory Exchange of all outstanding Common Units (together with the corresponding number of Class B Shares, to the extent that such Member holds such Class B Shares) shall occur in accordance with the following sentence. The Closing for any Exchange in which Class A Shares are delivered occurring pursuant to this Section 2.01(b)(ii) shall occur immediately prior to, but remain subject to the consummation immediately after of, the Business Combination Transaction, tender offer or exchange offer, as applicable, and such Exchange shall be null and void if such Business Combination Transaction, tender offer or exchange offer, as applicable, shall fail to be consummated.

 

 

(iii)      Upon receiving notice of an Exchange Request under Section 2.01(a)(i), the Company may elect to cause OTG EXP to effect the Exchange under Section 2.01(d) and deliver to the Exchanging Member, at OTG EXP’s option, the number of Class A Shares and/or the Cash Amount that such Member is entitled to receive in the Exchange. In all other cases, the Company shall effect the Exchange and, at the time of the Closing of any such Exchange,(i) OTG EXP shall contribute to the Company (A) the number of Class A Shares that such Member is entitled to receive in the Exchange, or (B) the Cash Amount, as applicable, and (ii) the Company shall issue to OTG EXP a number of Common Units equal to the number of Common Units being exchanged by the Exchanging Member. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that OTG EXP elects to deliver to the Exchanging Member the Cash Amount in the case of a Member other than a Highbridge Member, OTG EXP shall only be obligated to contribute to the Company an amount in respect of such Cash Amount equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions and brokers’ fees or commissions) from the sale by OTG EXP of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Common Units to be redeemed provided that the Company’s Capital Account, as defined under the Operating Agreement, shall be increased by an amount equal to any account underwriters’ discounts or commissions and brokers’ fees or commissions relating to such sale of shares.

 

(iv)   Upon the occurrence of a Closing, (A) all rights of the Exchanging Member as holder of the Common Units (and corresponding number of Class B Shares, to the extent that such Member holds such Class B Shares) being Exchanged shall terminate, (B) any Class B Shares delivered at the Closing shall be automatically cancelled on the books and records of OTG EXP and shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding capital stock of OTG EXP, (C) the Common Units delivered at the Closing to the Company shall automatically be cancelled on the books and records of the Company and shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company, and (D) such Exchanging Member, or such other Person in whose name such Exchanging Member has requested the shares be registered, shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of any Class A Shares delivered at the Closing.

 

(v)    The Class A Shares to be received in the Exchange shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Exchanging Member shall request in writing not later than one Business Day prior to Closing.

 

 

(c)           Closing Conditions. (i) The obligation of any of the parties to consummate an Exchange pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be subject to the condition that there shall be no injunction, restraining order or decree of any nature of any Governmental Entity that is then in effect that restrains or prohibits the Exchange.

 

(ii)        The obligation of the Company and OTG EXP to consummate an Exchange pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be subject to (A) the delivery by the Exchanging Member (other than a Highbridge Member) of the items specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi) of Section 2.01(d) and (B) the good faith determination by OTG EXP that such Exchange would not be prohibited by applicable law or regulation and would not violate any contract, commitment, agreement, instrument, arrangement, understanding, obligation or undertaking to which the Company or OTG EXP is subject.

 

(iii)       Upon the automatic Exchange by the Highbridge Members, such Highbridge Members shall be deemed to represent and warrant that no Liens exist on the Common Units held by such Highbridge Members (other than transfer restrictions imposed by or under applicable securities laws, the Operating Agreement and this Agreement), or that any such Liens have been released.

 

(d)           Closing Deliveries. At or prior to each Closing, with respect to each Member for which an Exchange is contemplated for such Closing:

 

(i)       except as to the automatic Exchange by the Highbridge Members, to the extent that such Member’s Common Units are certificated, such Member shall deliver to the Company or OTG EXP, as applicable, one or more certificates representing the number of Common Units specified in the applicable Exchange Request (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in customary form, without any requirement to post a bond or furnish any other security), accompanied by security transfer powers, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or OTG EXP, as applicable, duly executed in blank by such Member or such Member’s duly authorized attorney, to be Exchanged based on the Exchange Rate in effect at the applicable Closing;

 

(ii)      except as to the automatic Exchange by the Highbridge Members, to the extent such Member holds Class B Shares and the Member’s Class B Shares are certificated, such Member shall deliver to the Company or OTG EXP, as applicable, one or more certificates representing the number of Class B Shares specified in the applicable Exchange Request (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in customary form, without any requirement to post a bond or furnish any other security), accompanied by security transfer powers, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or OTG EXP, as applicable, duly executed in blank by such Member or such Member’s duly authorized attorney;

 

(iii)     except as to the automatic Exchange by the Highbridge Members, such Member shall represent in writing, and at the Company or OTG EXP’s request deliver confirmatory evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company or OTG EXP, as applicable, that no Liens exist on the Common Units and Class B Shares delivered pursuant to Sections 2.01(d)(i) and 2.01(d)(ii) (other than transfer restrictions imposed by or under applicable securities laws, the Operating Agreement and this Agreement), or that any such Liens have been released;

 

 

(iv)     if such Member delivers to the Company or OTG EXP, pursuant to Section 2.01(d)(i) or 2.01(d)(ii), a certificate representing a number of Common Units or Class B Shares that is greater than the number of Common Units or Class B Shares specified in the applicable Exchange Request, the Company or OTG EXP will deliver to such Member certificates representing the excess Common Units or Class B Shares, as applicable, within a reasonable period after Closing;

 

(v)      unless the Company has elected to exchange such Member’s Common Units for the Cash Amount, the Company or OTG EXP, as applicable, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Member the number of Class A Shares that such Member is entitled to receive in the Exchange, registered in such names and such denominations as such Member requested pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iv); and

 

(vi)     except as to the automatic Exchange by the Highbridge Members, if requested by the Company or OTG EXP, such Member shall deliver an opinion of counsel for the Member reasonably satisfactory to the Company or OTG EXP, as applicable, to the effect that the proposed Exchange will not cause the Company or OTG EXP to violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Exchange or the issuance and sale of Class A Shares to the Member pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 2.02          Adjustment. On the date hereof, the Exchange Rate shall be 1 for 1. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted accordingly if there is: (i) any subdivision (by any unit or stock split, unit or stock distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit or stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Units or Class B Shares or any similar event, in each case that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Shares; or (ii) any subdivision (by any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Shares or any similar event, in each case that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Common Units and Class B Shares. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, then upon any subsequent Exchange, an Exchanging Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Exchanging Member would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, this Section 2.02 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.

 

 

Section 2.03          Expiration. In the event that the Company is dissolved, liquidated or wound up pursuant to the Operating Agreement or otherwise, any Exchange Right shall expire upon final distribution of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement.

 

Section 2.04          Reservation of Class A Shares; Listing. OTG EXP shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, the maximum number of Class A Shares as shall be issuable upon Exchange of all outstanding Common Units and Class B Shares; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude OTG EXP from satisfying its obligations in respect of any such Exchange by delivery of purchased Class A Shares (which may or may not be held in the treasury of OTG EXP). If any Class A Shares require registration with or approval of any Governmental Entity under any federal or state law before such Class A Shares may be issued upon an Exchange, OTG EXP shall use reasonable efforts to cause the exchange of such Class A Shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. OTG EXP shall list and use its reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Class A Shares required to be delivered upon any such Exchange prior to such delivery upon the national securities exchange upon which the outstanding Class A Shares are listed at the time of such Exchange (it being understood that any such shares may be subject to transfer restrictions under applicable securities laws). OTG EXP covenants that all Class A Shares issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Section 2.05          Recapitalization. This Agreement shall apply to the Common Units held by the Members and their Permitted Transferees as of the date hereof, as well as any Common Units hereafter acquired by a Member and its Permitted Transferees. This Agreement shall apply to, mutatis mutandis, and all references to “Common Units” shall be deemed to include, any security, securities or other property of the Company that may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of Common Units, by reason of any distribution or dividend, split, reverse split, combination, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, exchange (other than an Exchange) or other transaction.

 

Section 2.06          Removal of Impediments to Exchange. The Company and OTG EXP shall use reasonable best efforts to remove any impediment that in the good faith judgment of the Company and OTG EXP would cause any Exchange to be prohibited by applicable law or regulation or that would cause any Exchange to violate any contract, commitment, agreement, instrument, arrangement, understanding, obligation or undertaking to which the Company or OTG EXP is subject and if the automatic Exchange by any Highbridge Member is so prohibited, such Exchange by the Highbridge Members shall automatically occur within 3 Business Days after such removal.

 

Article 3
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

 

Section 3.01          General Restrictions on Transfer. (a) Each Member understands and agrees that any Class A Shares received by such Member in any Exchange (any such Class A Shares, “Restricted Class A Shares”) may not be transferred except in compliance with the Securities Act, any other applicable securities or “blue sky” laws, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

 

(b)          Without limitation of Section 3.01(a), each Member understands and agrees that, unless exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Restricted Class A Shares are restricted securities under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c)          Any attempt to transfer any Restricted Class A Shares not in compliance with this Agreement shall be void ab initio, and OTG EXP shall not, and shall cause any transfer agent not to, give any effect in OTG EXP’s stock records to such attempted transfer.

 

(d)          The Company and OTG EXP agree that Class A Shares received upon the automatic Exchange by the Highbridge Members shall not bear any legend pursuant to Section 3.02, provided that if the transfer agent for the Class A Shares requires an opinion of counsel in order for the Class A Shares received upon the automatic Exchange by the Highbridge Members not to bear such legend, the Highbridge Members shall deliver such an opinion of counsel to the transfer agent.

 

Section 3.02          Legends. (a) In addition to any other legend that may be required, subject to Section 3.02(b), each certificate for Restricted Class A Shares issued to a Member (or any of such Member’s Permitted Transferees) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY NON-U.S. OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

 

(a)          If any Restricted Class A Share is eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), upon the written request of the holder thereof, accompanied (if OTG EXP shall so request) by an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to OTG EXP, it shall issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such Restricted Class A Share without the legend required by Section 3.02(a) endorsed thereon.

 

Section 3.03          Permitted Transferees. Subject to this Article 3, each Member acquiring Restricted Class A Shares may at any time transfer any or all of its Restricted Class A Shares to one or more of its Permitted Transferees or to any other Person in a transaction not in contravention of, and in accordance with, the Operating Agreement, so long as the transfer to such transferee is in compliance with the Securities Act and any other applicable securities or “blue sky” laws.

Each of the parties irrevocably consents to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding in such courts may be served, and shall be effective, on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court, by any of the methods specified for the giving of Notices pursuant to Section 4.02. Each of the parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection or defense that it may now or hereafter have based on venue, inconvenience of forum, the lack of personal jurisdiction and the adequacy of service of process (as long as the party was provided Notice in accordance with the methods specified in Section 4.02) in any suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts.

 

Section 4.11          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 4.12          Amendments; Waivers. (a) No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver is approved by the Company and OTG EXP; provided, however, that to the extent any amendment or waiver, including any amendment or waiver of the Exhibits attached hereto, would adversely affect the rights of any Highbridge Member, such amendment or waiver may only be made upon the prior written consent of such Highbridge Member.

 

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

 

Section 4.13          Assignment. Except as contemplated by Section 4.03 and except that the rights to have a legend removed from a certificate representing Restricted Class A Shares in accordance with Section 3.02(b) shall be deemed automatically assigned in connection with any transfer not prohibited hereunder, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors, assigns and Permitted Transferees.

 

Section 4.14          Tax Treatment. The parties to this Agreement intend that this Agreement shall be treated as part of the partnership agreement of the Company pursuant to Section 761(c) of the Code and Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. Except as otherwise required by a change in applicable law, the parties: (a)  shall report any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale of Common Units by a Member to OTG EXP, in which sale the consideration shall be the Class A Shares and any related payments made to such party under the Tax Receivable Agreement; (the “Intended Tax Treatment”), and (b) shall not, absent a final determination inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (whether by settlement, closing agreement, decision, judgment, decree or other final disposition), take an inconsistent position on any income tax return, amendment thereof or any other communication with a taxing authority.
