ARTICLE I.
AGREEMENT
1.1 Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Stockholder hereby undertakes and agrees that, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, Stockholder shall, at any annual, special or other meeting of the Company's stockholders or the Operating Company's equity holders called, and at every adjournment or postponement, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the equity holders of the Operating Company thereof, (A) affirmatively vote (including via proxy), or deliver via a written consent, all of the Subject Shares and any other Company Common Stock and Common Units owned by Stockholder, in favor of, and shall not withdraw or modify any such vote with respect to, approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and/or (B) except as otherwise permitted herein, vote against (including via proxy), and shall not deliver any written consent with respect to, (x) any action or agreement which would reasonably be expected to (I) impede, materially delay or adversely affect the consummation of the Mergers or result in any of the conditions to the Company's obligations to consummate the Mergers set forth in Article 7 of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled on or before the End Date, (II) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of such Stockholder contained in this Agreement or (III) change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company or the Operating Company (including any amendments to the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws or the Operating Company's operating agreement), and (y) any Acquisition Proposal. Stockholder agrees to be, or shall cause the record holder on any applicable record date to be, present, in person or by proxy, at every meeting of the Company's stockholders or the Operating Company's equityholders, including any postponement or adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstance, however called, to vote on the matters contemplated by this Section 1.1 so that all of the Subject Shares will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at any such meeting, or otherwise cause the Subject Shares to be counted as present threat for purposes of establishing a quorum. For the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 1.1, Stockholder does not have any obligation to vote the Subject Shares in any particular manner and, with respect to such other matters, Stockholder shall be entitled to vote the Subject Shares in its sole discretion.
1.2 Conditional Power of Attorney. To secure Stockholder's obligations in accordance with Section 1.1 of this Agreement, Stockholder hereby appoints Parent as the Stockholder's attorney in fact and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution, and grants Parent the power to affirmatively vote (including via proxy), and to execute written consents with respect to, all of the Subject Shares in favor of, and not withdraw or modify any such vote with respect to, approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby if, and only if, the Stockholder fails to comply with the provisions of Section 1.1. Such appointment will be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest, including for purposes of Section 212 of the DGCL. The appointment will survive the merger or reorganization of the Stockholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may terminate this proxy at any time in its sole discretion by written notice provided to the Stockholder.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF STOCKHOLDER
Stockholder represents and warrants to Parent that:

Stockholder has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Stockholder enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms (except insofar as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Applicable Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights, or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies, whether considered in a Proceeding at law or in equity).
2.2 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder does not, and the performance by Stockholder of Stockholder's obligations hereunder and the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, (a) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or constitute a default on the part of the Stockholder under, any Applicable Law applicable to Stockholder or Stockholder's Subject Shares and, to the extent that such Stockholder is an entity, the organizational or governing documents of such Stockholder, (b) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default on the part of Stockholder under, any contract, trust, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Stockholder is a party or by which Stockholder or its assets are bound, or (c) except as may be required by Applicable Laws, require any consent, approval, order, authorization or other action by, or filing with or notice to, any Person (including any Governmental Authority) under any Applicable Law, in case of each of clauses (a), (b) and (c), except as would not reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or materially delay Stockholder's timely performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

5.6 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the applicable statute of limitations, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules that would cause the application of law of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware. The Parties agree that any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Courts"). Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts in respect of any legal or equitable Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or relating to enforcement of any of the terms of this Agreement, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any such Proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other of such parties has an adequate remedy at law or that any such injunction or award of specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason.
