Directors, as such, shall not receive any stated salary for their services, but shall receive such compensation for their services as may be from time to time agreed upon by a Majority of the Board. In addition, a fixed sum and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board; provided, further, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude any Director (including the Chief Executive Officer) from serving the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.

The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board and at all meetings of the Partners at which he or she shall be present. As of the date hereof, the Chairman is Alan Fishman.

The Board may, by resolution, designate from among the Directors one or more committees (including an Audit Committee, a Risk and Underwriting Committee and a Compensation Committee), each of which shall be comprised of one or more Directors, and may designate one or more of the Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may, subject to any limitations imposed by the Board, replace absent or disqualified Directors at any meeting of that committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in such resolution, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board other than the right to approve any matters on behalf of the Partnership or the full Board, subject to the limitations set forth in the Delaware LP Act, if any, or in the establishment of the committee. Any member of any such committee may be removed from such committee by a Majority of the Board. Unless the resolution designating a particular committee or this Agreement expressly so provides, a committee of the Board shall not have the authority to authorize or make a distribution to the Limited Partners or to authorize the issuance of Units. Any committee of the Board of Directors shall constitute a committee within the meaning of Section 17-303(b)(7) of the Delaware LP Act. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the delegation to any committee of the Board of any management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall not cause the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of the Partnership nor shall it cause such committee of the Board or any member thereof to be a general partner of the Partnership or to have or be subject to any liabilities of a general partner of the Partnership that may be applicable.

In addition, the officers shall have such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Board, this Agreement or such officer’s Officer Employment Agreement. The Chief Executive Officer and the President shall have the power and authority to delegate to any agents or employees of the Partnership rights and powers of officers of the Partnership to manage and control the day to day business, operations and affairs of the Partnership in the ordinary course of its business, as the Chief Executive Officer or the President may deem appropriate from time to time, in each case, unless the Board shall have previously restricted (specifically or generally) such powers. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the delegation to any officer of the Partnership of any management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall not cause the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of the Partnership nor shall it cause such officer of the Partnership to be a general partner of the Partnership or to have or be subject to any liabilities of a general partner of the Partnership that may be applicable.

3.4 Fiduciary Duties. The Directors, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Partners all fiduciary duties of the type owed by the directors of a corporation to the stockholders of such corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, including duties of loyalty and due care. The officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Partners duties of loyalty and due care of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to the stockholders of such corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Director or officer of the Partnership who is employed with, a member or partner of or a consultant to TCP, GI Manager, any Person that is an Affiliate of TCP or GI Manager, or any other Person as the Board may hereafter designate as being covered by the terms of this sentence (in each case, other than the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries) shall have any duty or obligation to bring any “corporate opportunity” to the Partnership.

3.5 Performance of Duties; Liability of Directors and Officers. In performing his or her duties, each of the Directors and the officers shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports, or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Profits or Losses of the Partnership or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Limited Partners might properly be paid), of the following other Persons or groups: (a) one or more officers or employees of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries; (b) any attorney, independent accountant, or other Person employed or engaged by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries; or (c) any other Person who has been selected and monitored with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as to matters which such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in the Delaware LP Act or otherwise pursuant to applicable Delaware law. No individual who is a Director or an officer of the Partnership, or any combination of the foregoing, shall be personally liable under any judgment of a court, or in any other manner, for any debt, obligation, or liability of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, whether that liability or obligation arises in contract, tort, or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Director or an officer of the Partnership or any combination of the foregoing.

3.6 Indemnification. Notwithstanding Section 3.4, the General Partner, the Directors and officers of the Partnership and each officer or director of the General Partner (collectively, with the Directors and officers of the Partnership and the General Partner, the “Protected Persons”) shall not be liable, responsible or accountable for damages or otherwise to the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Partners, and, to the fullest extent allowed by law, each Protected Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership, including advancement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses from and against all claims, liabilities, and expenses arising out of any management of Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries’ affairs; provided that (a) such Protected Person’s course of conduct was pursued in good faith and believed by such Protected Person to be in the best interests of the Partnership and was reasonably believed by such Protected Person to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Protected Person pursuant to this Agreement and (b) such course of conduct did not constitute willful misconduct on the part of such Protected Person and otherwise was in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The rights of indemnification provided in this

Section 3.6 are intended to provide indemnification of the Protected Persons to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL regarding a corporation’s indemnification of its directors and officers and will be in addition to any rights to which the Protected Persons may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law and shall extend to such Protected Persons’ heirs, personal representatives and assigns. The absence of any express provision for indemnification herein shall not limit any right of indemnification existing independently of this Section 3.6. The right of each Protected Person to indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.6 may be conditioned upon the delivery by such Protected Person of a written undertaking to repay such amount if such Protected Person is determined pursuant to this Section 3.6 or adjudicated to be ineligible for indemnification, which undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation.

4.1 Meetings. No meetings of the Limited Partners are required to be held.

4.2 Registered Limited Partners. The Partnership shall be entitled to treat the owner of record of any Units as the owner in fact of such Unit for all purposes, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Unit on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice of such claim or interest, except as expressly provided by this Agreement or the laws of the State of Delaware.

4.3 Limitation of Liability. No Partner (including any general partner) will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Partnership or of any of its Subsidiaries or other Partners by reason of being a Partner, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise. No Partner shall be obligated to make any Capital Contribution to the Partnership. No Partner will have any fiduciary or other duty to another Partner with respect to the business and affairs of the Partnership or of any of its Subsidiaries. No Partner will have any responsibility to restore any negative balance in his or her Capital Account or to contribute to or in respect of the liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of any of its Subsidiaries or return distributions made by the Partnership; provided that a Partner shall be required to return any distribution made to it in error.

4.4 Withdrawal or Resignation by a Limited Partner. So long as a Limited Partner continues to own or hold any Units, such Limited Partner shall not have the ability to withdraw or resign as a Limited Partner prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership and any such withdrawal, resignation, attempted withdrawal or attempted resignation by a Limited Partner prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership shall be null and void. As soon as any Person who is a Limited Partner ceases to own or hold any Units, such Person shall no longer be Limited Partner.

4.5 Death of a Limited Partner. The death of any individual Limited Partner shall not cause the dissolution of the Partnership. In such event the Partnership and its business shall be continued by the remaining Partner or Partners and the Units owned by the deceased Limited Partner shall automatically be transferred to such Limited Partner’s heirs (provided that, within a reasonable time after such transfer, the applicable heirs shall sign a written joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto).

4.6 Authority. No Limited Partner, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, shall have the power to act for or on behalf of, or to bind the Partnership.

4.7 Outside Activities. Subject to the terms of any written agreement by any Partner to the contrary (including the non-competition agreements with employees of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries), a Partner may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities which compete with the Partnership, and no Partner (unless such Partner is an employee of the Partnership or one of its Subsidiaries and his or her employment agreement with the Partnership or such Subsidiary, if any, does not provide to the contrary) shall have any duty or obligation to bring any “corporate opportunity” to the Partnership. Subject to the terms of any written agreement by any Partner to the contrary, neither the Partnership nor any other Partner shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business interests or activities of any Partner.

4.8 General Partner; Transfer of General Partnership Interest. In no event will the Partnership have more than one “general partner” (as that term is used in the Delaware LP Act), and, as of the date hereof, such general partner is LCC Corporation. The General Partner (solely in its capacity as the General Partner) has no right or obligation to make Capital Contributions, has no right to receive, and will not receive, any distributions under this Agreement (or otherwise from the Partnership) and has no right to receive, and will not receive, any allocation of Profits, Losses, or other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credits of the Partnership under this Agreement (or otherwise from the Partnership). Except as required by applicable law, the General Partner agrees not to resign or withdraw from the Partnership except with the prior written approval of the LP Majority Holders. The General Partner may only transfer or assign the General Partnership Interest if approved in writing by the LP Majority Holders. Any attempted transfer or assignment of the General Partnership Interest in violation of the preceding sentence shall be deemed null and void for all purposes. Subject in all events to the restrictions on any transfer or assignment of the General Partnership Interest otherwise contained in this Section 4.8, no transfer or assignment of the General Partnership Interest otherwise permitted by this Section 4.8 may be completed until the prospective transferee is admitted as the general partner of the Partnership by executing and delivering to the Partnership a written undertaking to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as the general partner in such form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Board, in which case the transferor (A) shall then cease to be the General Partner, and (B) shall then no longer possess or have the power to exercise any rights or powers of the General Partner of the Partnership.

4.9 Certain Administrative Expenses of the General Partner. The Partnership shall, or shall cause one of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries to, pay directly on behalf of the General Partner (or reimburse the General Partner for), all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with the General Partner’s organization, continued existence as a corporation and corporate governance, including, without limitation, costs of securities offerings, litigation costs and damages arising from litigation, accounting and legal costs, costs associated with the preparation and filing of any tax returns, financial statements or filings with the SEC (as well as any similar type state agency), any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system as well as any and all other administrative related out-of-pocket expenses that may be incurred by, or for the benefit of, the General Partner (or any Subsidiary of the General Partner that is not the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership (a “GP Subsidiary”)), in each case,

other than any Federal, state or local income taxes of the General Partner or any GP Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, such expenses shall not include amounts payable by the General Partner under any tax receivable or similar agreement. In no event will any payment by the Partnership (or any Subsidiary of the Partnership) to, or for the benefit of, the General Partner or any GP Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 4.9 be deemed to be a distribution to the General Partner for purposes of this Agreement.

5.1 Limited Partners Schedule; Units Generally. The Limited Partnership Interests of the Limited Partners shall be represented by issued and outstanding Units, which may be divided into one or more types, classes or series, with each type, class or series having the rights and privileges set forth in this Agreement. The Partnership shall maintain a schedule of all Limited Partners from time to time, and the respective Units held by them (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Limited Partners Schedule”). As a result of the Merger and the completion as of the Merger Effective Date of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as of the Merger Effective Date each Existing Partner (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) and LCC Corporation owns the number of LP Units as set forth on the Limited Partners Schedule that is attached hereto as Schedule B. Ownership of a Unit (or fraction thereof) shall not entitle a Limited Partner to call for a partition or division of any property of the Partnership or for any accounting.

(a) LP Units. Effective as of the Merger Effective Date, the Partnership is hereby authorized to issue LP Units.

(b) Other Units. In addition to LP Units, the Partnership is hereby authorized to issue other types, classes and series of Units. With respect to such other types, classes and series of Units, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, the Board is authorized to provide for the issuance of such Units in any type, class or series by amending this Agreement to reflect such issuance and to establish the Units to be included in each such type, class or series, and to fix the relative rights, obligations, preferences and limitations of the Units of each such type, class or series.

5.3 Issuance of Units. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 11.3, after the Merger Effective Date, the Partnership (with the approval of the Board) may issue additional LP Units or other Units that the Board may provide for pursuant to Section 5.2(b) above (any such other Units, “Other Units”). Upon the issuance of Units, the Board shall adjust the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners as necessary in accordance with Section 6.2.

5.4 New Limited Partners. In order for a Person to be admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership, such Person shall have executed and delivered to the Partnership a written joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Upon the amendment of the Limited Partners Schedule by the Partnership and the satisfaction of any other applicable conditions, including, if a condition, the receipt by the Partnership of payment for the issuance of

any applicable Units, such Person shall be admitted as a Limited Partner and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Partnership and shall be issued such Limited Partner’s Units, and the Partnership shall modify the Limited Partners Schedule to reflect such admittance. The Board shall also adjust the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners as necessary in accordance with Section 6.2.

5.5 Ladder Class A Shares. The Partnership and LCC Corporation hereby agree that:

(i) If, following the Ladder IPO, LCC Corporation issues any Ladder Class A Shares (other than an issuance of the type covered by Section 5.5(a)(ii)), LCC Corporation shall promptly contribute to the Partnership all the net proceeds (if any) received by LCC Corporation with respect to such Ladder Class A Shares. Upon the contribution by LCC Corporation to the Partnership of all of such net proceeds (if any) so received by LCC Corporation, the Partnership shall issue to LCC Corporation a number of LP Units equal to the number of Ladder Class A Shares issued, registered in the name of LCC Corporation, such that, at all times, the number of LP Units held by LCC Corporation (as well as any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of LCC Corporation) equals the number of outstanding Ladder Class A Shares.

(ii) At any time LCC Corporation issues one or more Ladder Class A Shares in connection with an equity incentive program (including, without limitation, pursuant to the 2011 Phantom Equity Plan), whether such share or shares are issued upon exercise (including cashless exercise) of an option, settlement of a restricted stock unit, as restricted stock or otherwise, the Partnership shall issue to LCC Corporation an equal number of LP Units, registered in the name of LCC Corporation; provided that LCC Corporation shall be required to contribute all of the net proceeds (if any) received by LCC Corporation from or otherwise in connection with such issuance of one or more Ladder Class A Shares, including the exercise price of any option exercised, to the Partnership. If any such Ladder Class A Shares so issued by LCC Corporation in connection with an equity incentive program are subject to vesting or forfeiture provisions, then the LP Units that are issued by the Partnership to LCC Corporation in connection therewith in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 5.5(a)(ii) shall be subject to vesting or forfeiture on the same basis; and if any of such Ladder Class A Shares vest or are forfeited, then an equal number of LP Units issued by the Partnership in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 5.5(a)(ii) shall automatically vest or be forfeited. Any cash or property held by LCC Corporation in respect of dividends paid on restricted Ladder Class A Shares that fail to vest shall be returned to the Partnership upon the forfeiture of such restricted Ladder Class A Shares.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 5.5(a), “net proceeds” means gross proceeds to LCC Corporation from the issuance of Ladder Class A Shares less all bona fide out-of-pocket expenses of LCC Corporation in connection with such issuance.

(b) Repurchase or Redemption of Ladder Class A Shares. If, at any time, any Ladder Class A Shares are repurchased or redeemed (whether by exercise of a put or call, pursuant to an open market purchase, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by LCC Corporation for cash and subsequently cancelled, then the Partnership shall, immediately prior to such repurchase or redemption of Ladder Class A Shares, redeem an equal number of LP Units held by LCC Corporation, at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase or redemption price of the Ladder Class A Shares being repurchased or redeemed by LCC Corporation (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the Ladder Class A Shares being repurchased or redeemed by LCC Corporation.

(c) Changes in Ladder Class A Shares. Any subdivision (by stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of Ladder Class A Shares shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of LP Units.

5.6 2008 Incentive Equity Plan and Equity Grant Agreements. Effective as of the Merger Effective Date, any and all references in the 2008 Incentive Equity Plan or any Equity Grant Agreement to any “Forfeited Class A-2 Common Unit”, any “Re-Issued Class A-2 Common Unit”, any “Repurchased Class A-2 Common Unit”, or to “Section 5.9”, “Section 5.10” or “Section 5.11” of the “Partnership Agreement” or the “LLC Agreement”, and any related provisions set forth in the 2008 Incentive Equity Plan or any Equity Grant Agreement applicable specifically with respect to such terms, shall be deemed to be null and void.

6.1 Capital Contributions. On or prior to the date hereof, each Limited Partner as of the date hereof has made, or is deemed to have made, the Capital Contributions giving rise to such Limited Partner’s Capital Account (as herein defined) as of the date hereof. No Limited Partner shall make or be required to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership with respect to such Limited Partner’s LP Units.

(a) Maintenance Rules. The Partnership shall maintain for each Limited Partner a separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) in accordance with this Section 6.2(a). Each Capital Account shall be maintained in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Such Capital Account shall be increased by the cash amount or Book Value of any property contributed by such Limited Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, such Limited Partner’s allocable share of Profits and any items in the nature of income or gains which are specially allocated to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, and the amount of any liabilities of the Partnership assumed by such Limited Partner or which are secured by any property distributed to such Limited Partner.

(ii) Such Capital Account shall be decreased by the cash amount or Book Value of any property distributed to such Limited Partner pursuant to this

Agreement, such Limited Partner’s allocable share of Losses and any items in the nature of deductions or losses which are specially allocated to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 and the amount of any liabilities of such Limited Partner assumed by the Partnership or which are secured by any property contributed by such Limited Partner to the Partnership.

(iii) If all or any portion of a Unit is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Unit (or portion thereof).

(iv) Upon any revaluation described in paragraph (B) of the definition of “Book Value”, the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).

The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Board determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases to the Capital Accounts, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Board may authorize such modifications.

(b) Definition of Profits and Losses. “Profits” and “Losses” mean, for each Taxable Year or other period, an amount equal to the Partnership’s taxable income or loss, respectively, for such Taxable Year or other period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

(i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include tax exempt income and those items described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

(ii) If the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property (provided that if the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(i), the allocation of gain or loss shall be made immediately prior to the related acquisition of the interest in the Partnership).

(iii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Partnership property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property.

(iv) Items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Partnership property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property’s Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership property pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis).

6.3 Negative Capital Accounts. If any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account, such Partner shall have no obligation to restore such negative balance or to make any Capital Contributions to the Partnership by reason thereof, and such negative balance shall not be considered an asset of the Partnership or of any Partner.

6.4 No Withdrawal. No Limited Partner will be entitled to withdraw any part of his or its Capital Contribution or Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

6.5 Loans From Partners. Loans by Partners to the Partnership shall not be considered Capital Contributions.

6.6 Status of Capital Contributions. No Partner shall receive any interest, salary or drawing with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Partner shall be required to lend any funds to the Partnership or to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership.

(a) Subject to Sections 7.2 and 7.3, the Board shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of distributions to Limited Partners, in each case subject to the retention and establishment of reserves of, or payment to third parties of, such funds as it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs of the Partnership which shall include the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of the Partnership’s obligations, including the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses or any other obligations.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Partnership shall not make any distribution to Limited Partners if such distribution would violate Section 17-607 of the Delaware LP Act or other applicable law and (ii) in no event with the General Partner (solely in its capacity as the General Partner) be entitled to receive any distributions from the Partnership.

7.2 Discretionary Distributions. Subject to Section 7.3, available cash or other assets (taking such other assets into account at their Fair Market Value at the time of distributions) shall be distributed, at such times and in such amounts as the Board determines in its sole discretion, to the holders of the LP Units (pro rata based on the then issued and outstanding LP Units). As a point of clarity, LCC Corporation will participate in any such distributions with respect to the issued and outstanding LP Units then owned by LCC Corporation.

(a) Subject to the restrictions of any of the Partnership’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ then applicable debt financing agreements and subject to the retention of any other amounts necessary to satisfy the Partnership’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, at least five days before each date prescribed by the Code for a calendar year corporation to pay quarterly installments of estimated tax, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute to each Limited Partner cash in proportion to and to the extent of such Limited Partner’s Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter. If, at any time after the final Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount has been distributed pursuant to the previous sentence with respect to any Taxable Year, the aggregate Tax Distributions to the Limited Partners with respect to such Taxable Year are less than the Limited Partners’ aggregate Tax Amounts for such Taxable Year (a “Shortfall Amount”), the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute cash equal to the Shortfall Amount to each Limited Partner in proportion to the number of LP Units owned by each Limited Partner. The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute any Shortfall Amount with respect to a Taxable Year before the 75th day of the next succeeding Taxable Year. If the aggregate distributions made to the Limited Partners pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) for any Taxable Year exceed the Limited Partners’ aggregate Tax Amount (an “Excess Amount”) such Excess Amount shall reduce subsequent distributions that would be made pursuant to this Section 7.3(a).

(b) In addition to Tax Distributions described in Section 7.3(a), with respect to any applicable time period occurring prior the Merger Effective Date, the Partnership will continue to be obligated to make Tax Distributions (as such term is defined in the Prior Agreement) after the Merger Effective Date to the applicable Limited Partners (as such term is defined in the Prior Agreement) in the manner provided for in Section 7.3 of the Prior Agreement (but only to the extent such Tax Distributions were not otherwise made by the Partnership prior to the Merger Effective Date).

(c) Distributions made pursuant to this Section 7.3 (including as described in Section 7.3(b)) shall not be considered advances on distributions made pursuant to Section 7.2, and shall not reduce the distributions to be made to any Limited Partner under Section 7.2. No Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership for any amount distributed to it pursuant to this Section 7.3 or for any interest on such amount.

7.4 Withholding Taxes. If the Partnership is required by law to make any payment on behalf of a Limited Partner in his, her or its capacity as such (including in respect of withholding taxes, personal property taxes, and unincorporated business taxes, etc.), then the Partnership will reduce current or subsequent distributions which would otherwise be made to

such Limited Partner until the Partnership has recovered the amount paid on behalf of such Limited Partner (and the amount of such reduction will be deemed to have been distributed for all purposes of this Agreement, but such deemed distribution will not further reduce such Limited Partner’s Capital Account).

8.1 Allocations of Profits and Losses. The Partnership’s Profit and Loss for any fiscal period shall be allocated among the Limited Partners in such a manner that, as of the end of such fiscal period and to the extent possible, the Capital Account of each Limited Partner shall be equal to the respective net amount which would be distributed to such Limited Partner under this Agreement, determined as if the Partnership were to (a) liquidate the assets of the Partnership for an amount equal to their Book Value as of the end of such fiscal period and (b) distribute the proceeds in liquidation in accordance with Section 10.2.

8.2 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1:

(a) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), as an item of Profit (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or Loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such Profit or Loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to the Treasury Regulations.

(b) If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Taxable Year, each Limited Partner shall be specially allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Limited Partner that has a share of such Partner Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) In the event any Limited Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), Profits shall be specially allocated to such Limited Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VIII (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits and Losses among Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Limited Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Limited Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

8.3 Curative Allocations. If the Tax Matters Partner determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is not specified in this Article VIII (an “unallocated item”), or that the allocation of any item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Partners’ economic interests in the Partnership (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “misallocated item”), then the Board may allocate such unallocated items, or reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests; provided that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Limited Partner that would be affected thereby (which consent no such Limited Partner may unreasonably withhold); and provided, further, that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Partner, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Partnership.

(a) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Partners in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Partners for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Partnership’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Partners for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Partnership in any taxable year shall be allocated pro rata to the Partners according to the amount of Profit or Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year.

(b) Items of Partnership taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the traditional method of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b), or such other method elected by the Board, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.

(c) If the Book Value of any Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(iv), subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

(d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Partners according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

9.1 Generally. The Partnership will keep appropriate books and records with respect to the Partnership’s business.

9.2 Tax Status. The Partners intend that the Partnership be treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes and the Partnership and each Partner shall file all tax returns on the basis consistent therewith.

9.3 Tax Elections. The Board will determine whether to make or revoke any available election pursuant to the Code. Each Partner will upon request supply the information necessary to give proper effect to any such election.

9.4 Tax Controversies. The General Partner shall be the “Tax Matters Partner” (as such term is defined in Code Section 6231) for the Partnership. The Tax Matters Partner is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the Tax Matters Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Partner with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. Subject to the foregoing proviso, the Tax Matters Partner will have sole discretion to determine whether the Partnership (either in its own behalf or on behalf of the Partners) will contest or continue to contest any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed by any taxing authority. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Partner (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes) will be paid by such Partner.

9.5 Waiver of Section 17-305 of the Delaware LP Act. Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights that such Limited Partner may have to receive information from the Partnership or the General Partner pursuant to Section 17-305 of the Delaware LP Act.

9.6 Schedule K-1. The Partnership shall use reasonable efforts to provide each Partner with such Partner’s U.S. Internal Revenue Schedule K-1 for each fiscal year within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year.

10.1 Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up only upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) Upon the election to dissolve the Partnership by action of the Board and with the written approval of the LP Majority Holders and the General Partner; or

(b) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Delaware LP Act; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Partner shall make an application for the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 17-802 of the Delaware LP Act without the unanimous approval of the Partners.

Dissolution of the Partnership shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Partnership shall not terminate until the winding up of the Partnership has been completed, the assets of the Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 10.2 and the Certificate of Limited Partnership shall have been canceled.

(a) Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the Board will appoint a person to act as the “Liquidator”, and such person shall act as the Liquidator unless and until a successor Liquidator is appointed as provided in this Section 10.2. The Liquidator will agree not to resign at any time without 30 days’ prior written notice to the Board. The Liquidator may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal and appointment of a successor Liquidator approved by the Board. Any successor Liquidator will succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the former Liquidator. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided in this Section 10.2 will be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions of this Agreement, and every reference in this Agreement to the Liquidator will be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner provided in this Section 10.2. The Liquidator will receive as compensation for its services as the Board may approve, plus, in either case, reimbursement of the Liquidator’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in performing its duties.

(b) Liquidating Actions. The Liquidator will liquidate the assets of the Partnership and apply and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation, in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable law:

(i) First, to the payment of the Partnership’s debts and obligations to its creditors (including Partners), including sales commissions and other expenses incident to any sale of the assets of the Partnership, in order of the priority provided by law.

(ii) Second, to the establishment of and additions to such reserves as the Board deems necessary or appropriate.

The reserves established pursuant to clause (ii) above will be paid over by the Liquidator to a bank or other financial institution, to be held in escrow for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, at the expiration of such period as the Board deems advisable, such reserves will be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 7.2 in the manner provided above in this Section 10.2(b). The allocations and distributions provided for in this Agreement are intended to result in the Capital Account of each Partner immediately prior to the distribution of the Partnership’s assets pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) being equal to the amount distributable to such Partner pursuant to this Section 10.2(b).

(c) Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(b) which require the liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 10.2(b), if upon dissolution of the Partnership the Board determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Partners, the Board may, in its sole discretion, defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Partnership liabilities and reserves, and may, in its absolute discretion, distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(b), undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distribution in kind will be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such distribution, any property to be distributed will be valued at its Fair Market Value.

(d) Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time will be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 10.2(b) in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up. Distributions upon liquidation of the Partnership (or any Partner’s interest in the Partnership) and related adjustments will be made by the end of the Taxable Year of the liquidation (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation) or as otherwise permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b).

(e) Termination. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the Partnership as provided in Section 10.2(b), the Partnership shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Limited Partnership in the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership.

(a) Transfers by Exchangeable Limited Partners. An Exchangeable Limited Partner may Transfer Units only (A) to any Permitted Transferee of such Exchangeable Limited Partner, (B) with the prior written approval of the Board or the General Partner, (C) as an Exchange pursuant to Article XII, (D) to LCC Corporation or (E) in the case of an Exchangeable Limited Partner who is an individual, pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b) Transfers by Ladder Limited Partners. A Ladder Limited Partner may Transfer Units only (A) to LCC Corporation or to another Ladder Limited Partner, (B) to the Partnership, (C) with the prior written approval of the LP Majority Holders or (D) pursuant to a pledge to any third party lender(s) to such Ladder Limited Partner.

(c) Effects of a Permitted Transfer. Following a Transfer of any Unit(s) that is permitted under this Article XI, the transferee of such Unit(s) shall succeed to the Capital Account associated with such Unit(s) and shall receive allocations and distributions under Articles VI, VII, VIII and X in respect of such Unit(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Profits, Losses and other items will be allocated between the transferor and the transferee according to Code Section 706. Any Limited Partner who Transfers all his or its Units (i) shall cease to be a Limited Partner upon such Transfer, and (ii) shall no longer possess or have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Limited Partner of the Partnership.

(d) Void Transfers. Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that such Limited Partner shall not Transfer any Unit(s) except in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI and, to the extent applicable to such Limited Partner, any Equity Grant Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of any Unit(s) in violation of the preceding sentence shall be deemed null and void for all purposes, and the Partnership will not record any such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee as the owner of such Unit(s) for any purpose.

(e) Transfers by Limited Partners to Permitted Transferees. If any Limited Partner Transfers Units to a Permitted Transferee and an event occurs which causes such Permitted Transferee to cease to be a Permitted Transferee (as defined in this Agreement) of such Limited Partner unless, prior to such event, such Permitted Transferee Transfers such Units back to such Limited Partner or to another Permitted Transferee of such Limited Partner (but only if such Limited Partner or such Permitted Transferee of such Limited Partner has complied with the provisions of Section 11.2 hereof), then, in each case, such event or Transfer shall be deemed a Transfer of Units subject to all of the restrictions on Transfers of Units set forth in this Agreement, including this Section 11.1.

(f) LP Units and Ladder Class B Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Exchangeable Limited Partner will Transfer (i) any LP Unit without also Transferring to the same transferee at the same time and as part of the same Transfer a corresponding Ladder Class B Share or (ii) any Ladder Class B Share without also Transferring to the same transferee at the same time and as part of the same Transfer a corresponding LP Unit; provided that any Exchange that occurs pursuant to the provisions of Article XII hereof will be deemed to satisfy the requirement of this Section 11.1(f).

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no transferee of any Unit(s) received pursuant to a Transfer (but excluding transferees that were Limited Partners immediately prior to such a Transfer, who shall automatically become a Limited Partner with respect to any additional Units they so acquire) shall become a Limited Partner in respect of or be deemed to have any ownership rights in the Unit(s) so Transferred unless the purported transferee is admitted as a Limited Partner as set forth in Section 11.2(b) and (ii) if requested by the Partnership, no Limited Partner may Transfer any Units (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or to members of such Limited Partner’s Family Group without consideration (but only if the Partnership has received from the transferor written evidence that is reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership demonstrating that such Transfer is to a member of such Limited Partner’s Family Group without consideration)) without first delivering to the Partnership an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Partnership (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to the Partnership) that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such Transfer; provided that the Partnership shall only make such request for an opinion of counsel if the Partnership has a reasonable basis to believe that registration under the Securities Act may be required in connection with such Transfer. The Partnership shall modify the Limited Partners Schedule from time to time to reflect the admittance of any such Limited Partner.

(b) Subject in all events to the general restrictions on Transfers contained in Sections 11.1 and 11.3, no Transfer of Unit(s) may be completed to a Person that is not already a Limited Partner until the prospective transferee is admitted as a Limited Partner of the Partnership by executing and delivering to the Partnership a written joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Upon the amendment of the Limited Partners Schedule by the Partnership, such prospective transferee shall be admitted as a Limited Partner and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Partnership.

(a) In order to permit the Partnership to qualify for the benefit of a “safe harbor” under Code Section 7704, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Unit shall be permitted or recognized by the Partnership (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(d)) and the Partnership shall not issue any Units if and to the extent that such Transfer or issuance would cause the Partnership to have more than 100 partners (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h), including the look through rule in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Unit may be Transferred and the Partnership may not issue any Unit unless (i) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not affect the Partnership’s existence or qualification as a limited liability limited partnership under the Delaware LP Act, (ii) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not cause the Partnership to be classified as other than a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, and (iii) such Transfer shall not cause all or any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute “plan assets” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the related provisions of the Code and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as amended from time to time.

11.4 Pledge of Units. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent any Limited Partner pledges any Units owned by such Limited Partner in a manner permitted by Section 11.1(a) hereof (including, without limitation, by receiving the written approval of the Board or the General Partner, to the extent applicable), then such permitted pledge of such Units shall not be considered a “Transfer” for purposes of Section 11.2 hereof; provided that, as a point of clarity, such Section 11.2 hereof shall be applicable in connection with any transfer or assignment of any such Units in connection with the exercise of any remedies by the applicable beneficiary of such permitted pledge of such Units.

12.1 Additional Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

A “Beneficial Owner” of a security is a Person who directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security and/or (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, such security. The terms “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall have correlative meanings.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events after the Merger Effective Date:

(i) any Person or any group of Persons acting together which would constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provisions thereto (excluding a corporation or other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of LCC Corporation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of LCC Corporation) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of LCC Corporation representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of LCC Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities; or

(ii) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of LCC Corporation with any other corporation or other entity, and, immediately after the consummation of such merger or consolidation, either (x) the LCC Board immediately

prior to the merger or consolidation does not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the entity surviving the merger or, if the surviving entity is a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (y) all of the Persons who were the respective Beneficial Owners of the voting securities of LCC Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not Beneficially Own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Person resulting from such merger or consolidation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to clause (ii)(x) above, a “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the shares of common stock of LCC Corporation immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of LCC Corporation immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

“Exchange” has the meaning set forth in Section 12.2(b) of this Agreement. The terms “Exchanging” and “Exchanged” shall have correlative meanings.

(a) From and after the date 180 days after the Merger Effective Date (or such earlier date as the applicable lead underwriter(s) managing the Qualified Initial Public Offering may agree in writing), each Exchangeable Limited Partner shall be entitled at any time and from time to time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to surrender LP Units and a corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares to LCC Corporation in exchange for the delivery by LCC Corporation to such Exchangeable Limited Partner of a number of Ladder Class A Shares that is equal to the number of LP Units surrendered (such exchange, an “Exchange”); provided that any such Exchange is for a minimum of (i) the lesser of 1,000 LP Units and all of the LP Units held by such Exchangeable Limited Partner, or (ii) a number of LP Units that is less than the amount of LP Units described in clause (i) above, if such lesser number of LP Units to be Exchanged is proposed by such Exchangeable Limited Partner to LCC Corporation, and LCC Corporation determines that the Exchange of such proposed lesser number of LP Units is acceptable, in its sole discretion.

(b) In connection with a Change of Control, and subject to any approval of the Change of Control by the holders of Ladder Class A Shares and Ladder Class B Shares that may be required:

(i) LCC Corporation shall have the right to require each Exchangeable Limited Partner to Exchange some or all LP Units (and a corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares) owned by such Exchangeable Limited Partner in consideration for the issuance by LCC Corporation to such Exchangeable Limited Partner of a number of Ladder Class A Shares that is equal to the number of LP Units surrendered, such Exchange to be effected by the surrender of such LP Units and a corresponding number

of Ladder Class B Shares to LCC Corporation (whereupon, such LP Units will be owned by LCC Corporation and such Ladder Class B Shares will be deemed cancelled); provided, however, that in the event that the applicable Change of Control for which an Exchange is completed pursuant to this Section 12.2(b) provides a holder of LP Units with cash consideration of less than 35 percent (35%) of the reasonably expected value of the total consideration to be received in such Change of Control by such holder with respect to the Ladder Class A Shares received by such holder for such LP Units (and a corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares) in such Exchange, then, except as may otherwise be agreed by the LP Majority Holders, LCC Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate liquidity options for the holders of LP Units to be Exchanged pursuant to this Section 12.2(b) sufficient to allow such holders to satisfy, in a timely manner, any Federal and state income tax liability arising as a result of the Exchange completed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.2(b); provided further that in no event will the terms of the preceding proviso provide any holder of LP Units with a consent, approval or similar type right with respect to any Change of Control, or any ability to delay or prevent the consummation of any Change of Control.

(ii) Any Exchange pursuant to this Section 12.2(b) shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be effective if such Change of Control is not consummated). To effect the delivery of the Ladder Class A Shares to be delivered in connection with any such Exchange pursuant to this Section 12.2(b), LCC Corporation shall: (x) deliver or cause to be delivered at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Ladder Class A Shares (or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Ladder Class A Shares, at the principal executive offices of LCC Corporation) such number of Ladder Class A Shares, registered in the name of the relevant Exchangeable Limited Partner (or in such other name as is requested in writing by such Exchangeable Limited Partner), in certificated or uncertificated form, as may be requested by the such Exchangeable Limited Partner, or (y) if Ladder Class A Shares are settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, upon the written instruction of such Exchangeable Limited Partner, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the Ladder Class A Shares through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Exchangeable Limited Partner.

(iii) LCC Corporation shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice of an expected Change of Control to all Exchangeable Limited Partners within the earlier of (x) five Business Days following the execution of the agreement with respect to such Change of Control and (y) five Business Days before the proposed date upon which the contemplated Change of Control is to be effected, indicating in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the Change of Control transaction, subject to applicable law, including the date of execution of such agreement or such proposed effective date, as applicable, the amount and types of consideration to be paid for LP Units (along with the corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares) or Ladder Class A Shares, as applicable, in the Change of Control, any election with respect to types of consideration that a holder of LP Units (along with the corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares) or Ladder Class A Shares, as applicable, shall be entitled to make

in connection with the Change of Control, the percentage of total LP Units (along with the corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares) or Ladder Class A Shares, as applicable, to be transferred to the acquirer by all shareholders in the Change of Control, and the number of LP Units (and the corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares) held by each Exchangeable Limited Partner that LCC Corporation intends to require be Exchanged for Ladder Class A Shares in connection with the Change of Control. LCC Corporation shall use reasonable efforts to update such notice from time to time to reflect any material changes to such notice. LCC Corporation may satisfy any such notice and update requirements described in the preceding two sentences by providing such information on a Form 8-K, Schedule TO, Schedule 14D-9 or similar form filed with the SEC.

(c) If at any time after the Merger Effective Date, LCC Corporation and its direct and indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries own at least 90% of the LP Units issued and outstanding as of such time, then LCC Corporation shall have the right to require each Exchangeable Limited Partner to Exchange all of the LP Units (and a corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares) then owned by such Exchangeable Limited Partner in consideration for the issuance by LCC Corporation to each such Exchangeable Limited Partner of a number of Ladder Class A Shares that is equal to the number of LP Units surrendered, such Exchange to be effected by the surrender of such LP Units and a corresponding number of Ladder Class B Shares to LCC Corporation (whereupon, such LP Units will be owned by LCC Corporation and such Ladder Class B Shares will be deemed cancelled). Any Exchange pursuant to this Section 12.2(c) shall be effective upon delivery by LCC Corporation of a written notice (an “Automatic Exchange Notice”) of such Exchange to the then Exchangeable Limited Partners. To effect the delivery of the Ladder Class A Shares to be delivered in connection with any such Exchange pursuant to this Section 12.2(c), LCC Corporation shall: (x) deliver or cause to be delivered at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Ladder Class A Shares (or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Ladder Class A Shares, at the principal executive offices of LCC Corporation) such number of Ladder Class A Shares, registered in the name of the relevant Exchangeable Limited Partner (or in such other name as is requested in writing by such Exchangeable Limited Partner), in certificated or uncertificated form, as may be requested by the such Exchangeable Limited Partner, or (y) if Ladder Class A Shares are settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, upon the written instruction of such Exchangeable Limited Partner, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the Ladder Class A Shares through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Exchangeable Limited Partner.

(d) An Exchangeable Limited Partner shall exercise its right to Exchange LP Units as set forth in Section 12.2(a) above by delivering to LCC Corporation and to the Partnership a written election of exchange in respect of the LP Units to be Exchanged substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Exchange Notice”), duly executed by such holder or such holder’s duly authorized attorney, in each case delivered during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of LCC Corporation and of the Partnership. As promptly as practicable following the delivery of an Exchange Notice, the Partnership shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the offices of the then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Ladder Class A Shares or, if there is no then-acting registrar and transfer agent of the Ladder Class A

Shares, at the principal executive offices of LCC Corporation, the number of Ladder Class A Shares deliverable upon such Exchange, registered in the name of the relevant Exchangeable Limited Partner. To the extent the Ladder Class A Shares are settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, LCC Corporation will, subject to Section 12.2(e) below, upon the written instruction of a Exchangeable Limited Partner, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the Ladder Class A Shares deliverable to such Exchangeable Limited Partner, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Exchangeable Limited Partner.

(e) LCC Corporation and each Exchangeable Limited Partner shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated, except that the Partnership shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided that if any Ladder Class A Shares are to be delivered in a name other than that of the Exchangeable Limited Partner that requested the Exchange, then such Exchangeable Limited Partner and/or the person in whose name such Ladder Class A Shares are to be delivered shall pay to the Partnership the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Partnership that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent LCC Corporation or the Partnership shall determine that interests in the Partnership do not meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h), LCC Corporation or the Partnership may impose such restrictions on Exchanges as LCC Corporation or the Partnership may determine to be necessary or advisable so that the Partnership is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Exchange shall be permitted (and, if attempted, shall be void ab initio) if, in the good faith determination of LCC Corporation or of the Partnership, such an Exchange would pose a material risk that the Partnership would be a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Exchangeable Limited Partner shall not be entitled to Exchange LP Units to the extent LCC Corporation determines that such Exchange (i) would be prohibited by law or regulation (including, without limitation, the unavailability of any requisite registration statement filed under the Securities Act) or (ii) would not be permitted under any other agreements with LCC Corporation, the Partnership, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to which such Exchangeable Limited Partner may be party or any written policies of LCC Corporation related to unlawful or improper trading (including, without limitation, the policies of LCC Corporation relating to insider trading).

(h) Immediately upon the Exchange of any LP Unit pursuant to Sections 12.2(a), 12.2(b) or 12.2(c), an equal number of outstanding Ladder Class B Shares owned by the relevant Exchangeable Limited Partner automatically shall be deemed cancelled without any action on the part of any Person, including LCC Corporation or such Exchangeable Limited Partner. Any such cancelled Ladder Class B Shares shall no longer be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such Ladder Class B Shares shall automatically cease and terminate.

12.3 Tax Treatment of any Exchange. As required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations, the parties shall report any Exchange consummated hereunder as a taxable sale of the LP Units by an Exchangeable Limited Partner to LCC Corporation, and no party shall take a contrary position on any income tax return, amendment thereof or communication with a taxing authority unless an alternate position is permitted under the Code and Treasury Regulations and LCC Corporation consents in writing.

(a) LCC Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ladder Class A Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of Ladder Class A Shares as shall be deliverable upon any such Exchange; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude LCC Corporation from satisfying its obligations in respect of the Exchange of the LP Units by delivery of Ladder Class A Shares which are held in the treasury of LCC Corporation. LCC Corporation covenants that all Ladder Class A Shares issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(b) LCC Corporation covenants and agrees that, to the extent that a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective and available for Ladder Class A Shares to be delivered with respect to any Exchange, Ladder Class A Shares that have been registered under the Securities Act shall be delivered in respect of such Exchange. In the event that any Exchange in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected at a time when any required registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable cooperation of the Exchangeable Limited Partner requesting such Exchange, LCC Corporation and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly facilitate such Exchange pursuant to any reasonably available exemption from such registration requirements. LCC Corporation and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list Ladder Class A Shares required to be delivered upon an Exchange prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the outstanding Ladder Class A Shares may be listed or traded at the time of such delivery.

12.5 Adjustment. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which Ladder Class A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property (other than cash), then upon any subsequent Exchange, each Exchangeable Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Exchangeable Limited Partner 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 (other than cash) that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction.

(a) All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally against written receipt or by facsimile transmission against facsimile confirmation or mailed by internationally recognized overnight courier prepaid, to (i) any Limited Partner, at such Limited Partner’s address set forth in the Partnership’s books and records, (ii) the General Partner, c/o the General Partner at the Partnership’s principal place of business (with a copy to the Partnership’s Secretary at the Partnership’s principal place of business), and (iii) the Partnership, to the Partnership’s Secretary at the Partnership’s principal place of business (or in any case to such other address as the addressee may from time to time designate in writing to the sender).

(b) All such notices, requests and other communications will (i) if delivered personally to the address as provided in Section 13.1(a) be deemed given upon delivery, (ii) if delivered by facsimile transmission to the facsimile number as provided in Section 13.1(a), be deemed given upon facsimile confirmation and (iii) if delivered by overnight courier to the address as provided in Section 13.1(a), be deemed given on the earlier of the first Business Day following the date sent by such overnight courier or upon receipt (in each case regardless of whether such notice, request or other communication is received by any other person to whom a copy of such notice is to be delivered pursuant to this Section 13.1).
