(iv) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an annual budget of the Company and its Subsidiaries (presented on a monthly basis) containing, among other things, (i) pro forma financial statements for each fiscal quarter of the next fiscal year of the Company and (ii) information regarding the aggregate compensation proposed to be paid during such fiscal year to Executive Officers of the Company;

(b) Access to Information. The Company shall permit (x) any Investor which holds Common Units representing at least 5% of the aggregate number of outstanding Common Units (including any Guggenheim Investor, so long as the Guggenheim Common Unit Threshold is met) or any number of Preferred Units and (y) at such time when the CDP Investors no longer constitute the Majority Common Holders, each CDP Investor (so long as the CDP Common Unit Threshold is met); and each of their respective representatives (including, without limitation, its legal counsel and accountants), during normal business hours and such other times as any such

holder may reasonably request, to (i) visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) examine the corporate, financial and similar type records, reports and documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all internal management documents, reports of operations, reports of adverse developments, copies of any management letters, communications with equityholders or directors, press releases and registration statements, and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and (iii) discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of any such entities with any of the executive officers and or senior managers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Palmer or, if David F. Palmer is no longer serving as an officer of the Company, then the Person then serving as President of the Company), except with respect to communications with Stephen J. Cloobeck, David F. Palmer or any person appointed as Chief Financial Officer after the date hereof.

5. Legend.

(a) The Equityholder Units shall initially be uncertificated. However, in the event that the Company determines at a later date to issue certificates representing the Equityholder Units, each certificate or instrument evidencing Equityholder Units and each certificate or instrument issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Equityholder Units (if such securities remain Equityholder Units (as defined herein) after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON _______, 20_ AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO A THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITYHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 18, 2011, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND CERTAIN OF THE ISSUER’S SECURITYHOLDERS. A COPY OF SUCH THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITYHOLDERS AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

The legend set forth above regarding this Agreement shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities which cease to be Equityholder Units. Upon the request of any Equityholder, the Company shall remove the Securities Act portion of the legend set forth above

from the certificate or certificates for such Equityholder Units; provided that such Equityholder Units are eligible (as reasonably determined by the Company) for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any similar rule or rules then in effect) under the Securities Act.

(b) Unless waived by the Company, no Equityholder may Transfer any Equityholder Units (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to the Company) that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such Transfer. If such opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company further states that no subsequent Transfer of such Equityholder Units will require registration under the Securities Act (including due to such Equityholder Units being eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar rule or rules then in effect) under the Securities Act), the Company will promptly upon such Transfer deliver new certificates for such securities (if such securities are certificated as of such time) which do not bear the Securities Act portion of the legend set forth in Section 5(a).

6. Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Equityholder Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement or the LLC Agreement shall be null and void, and the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Equityholder Units as the owner of such securities for any purpose.

7. Preemptive Rights.

(a) If, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the Company wishes to issue any Units or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Units or any notes or other Convertible Securities, other than Excluded Units (all such Units and other rights and securities other than Excluded Units, collectively, the “Equity Equivalents”), to any Person or Persons, the Company shall promptly deliver a notice of intention to sell or otherwise issue (the “Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell”) to each Member setting forth a description and the number of the Equity Equivalents and any other securities proposed to be issued, the proposed purchase price and terms of sale, including the identity of the prospective transferee(s). Upon receipt of the Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell, each Member shall have the right to elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms stated in the Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell, a number of the Equity Equivalents equal to the product of (i) the percentage determined by dividing the number of Common Units then owned by such Member by the number of vested Units then outstanding multiplied by (ii) the number of Equity Equivalents proposed to be issued (as described in the applicable Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell); provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Company is issuing Equity Equivalents together as a unit with the issuance of any debt or other equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then any Member who elects to purchase such Equity Equivalents pursuant to this Section 7 must also purchase a corresponding proportion of such other debt or equity securities, all at the proposed purchase price and on terms of sale as specified in the applicable Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell. Such election shall be made by the electing Member by written notice to the Company within ten (10) business days after receipt by such Member of the Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell (the “Acceptance Period”).

(b) To the extent an effective election to purchase has not been received from any Member pursuant to subsection (a) above in respect of the Equity Equivalents proposed to be issued pursuant to the applicable Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell, the Company may, at its election, during a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the expiration of the applicable Acceptance Period, issue and sell the remaining Equity Equivalents to be issued and sold to any Person at a price and upon terms not more favorable to such Person than those stated in the applicable Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell; provided, however, that failure by any Member to exercise its option to purchase with respect to one issuance and sale of Equity Equivalents shall not affect its option to purchase Equity Equivalents in any subsequent issuance and sale. In the event the Company has not sold any Equity Equivalents covered by a Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell within such one hundred and eighty (180) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell such Equity Equivalents, without first offering such Equity Equivalents to each Member in the manner provided in this Section 7.

(c) If any Member gives the Company notice, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7, that such Member desires to purchase any Equity Equivalents, payment therefor shall be by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, against delivery of the securities (which securities shall be issued free and clear of any liens or encumbrances) at the executive offices of the Company no later than the last closing date fixed by the Company for the sale of the applicable Equity Equivalents, which last closing date shall be no earlier than 15 business days after the date the Company delivers the applicable Company’s Notice of Intention to Sell. In the event that any proposed sale is for a consideration other than cash, such Member may pay cash in lieu of all (but not part) of such other consideration, in the amount determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board to represent the fair value of such consideration other than cash.

8. Protective Provisions.

(a) For so long as the Preferred Liquidation Amount with respect to the Preferred Units held by the Investors is at least $10,000,000 (or it is less than $10,000,000 as a result of partial redemptions of the Preferred Units by the Company from the Investors), the Company shall, unless it has received the prior written waiver of the Majority Preferred Holders:

(ii) The Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any equity securities or Convertible Securities, other than Excluded Units, to any Person other than the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or permit any other transaction to occur which would result in any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company not being a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company;

(iii) The Company shall make Tax Distributions to the holders of Units as and when required under the LLC Agreement (and the Company shall cause its direct and indirect Subsidiaries to make distributions sufficient to satisfy such obligation); provided, however, that, so long as the Senior Note Indenture is in effect and to the extent funded by distributions from DRC and its Subsidiaries, the aggregate Tax Distributions since the Issue Date shall not exceed the lesser of:

12. Severability.
