(b) On September 5, 2024 (the “Second Closing Date”), the Partnership shall deliver to the Redeemed Limited Partner such number of MGP Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $6,042,277.46, representing one-third of the Redemption Price, by (ii) the last reported sales price for MGP Shares on the principal Trading Market on the Trading Day that is five Trading Days prior to the Second Closing Date.

(d) As further contemplated pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, no Closing under this Agreement may occur unless a Closing (as defined under the Concurrent Redemption Agreement) shall be occurring on the same date.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall not be required to deliver fractional MGP Shares to the Redeemed Limited Partner.

4.     Representations and Warranties of the Redeemed Limited Partner. As a material inducement to the Partnership to enter into and consummate this Agreement, the Redeemed Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the Partnership, for the benefit of the Partnership, as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Closing (unless a different date is specified below):

(g) The Redeemed Limited Partner has either consulted its own investment adviser, attorney or legal adviser, tax adviser or accountant with respect to the merits and risks associated this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, or has chosen not to do so despite the recommendation of that course of action by the Partnership Agreement. The Redeemed Limited Partner acknowledges that it (together with the foregoing professional advisers, if any) has made its own analysis of the fairness of the transactions contemplated hereby and has not relied on any advice or recommendation by the Partnership, the General Partner, the other Limited Partners, or any of their respective professional advisers, agents or affiliates with respect to its decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Redeemed Limited Partner acknowledges that the Redemption Consideration and Redemption Price represents a fair and accurate value for its respective Redemption Interest, and acknowledges that the Redeemed Limited Partner has agreed to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of the Redeemed Limited Partner’s own free will and volition.

 

(h) For avoidance of doubt, the Redeemed Limited Partner is not relying on the Partnership, the General Partner, the other Limited Partners, or any of their respective professional advisers, agents or affiliates regarding any individual tax considerations involved in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Redeemed Limited Partner understands and acknowledges that there can be no assurances as to the tax results of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Redeemed Limited Partner has had the opportunity to consult with such Redeemed Limited Partner’s own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(i) The Redeemed Limited Partner (or its professional advisers) has been provided an opportunity to ask questions, and has obtained all additional information or received satisfactory answers requested, regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Redeemed Limited Partner (or its professional advisers) has had an opportunity and time to receive, review and understand all information related to the Redemption Consideration requested by it and to ask questions and receive answers regarding the issuer of the MGP Shares and its business, management and financial affairs, and has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence. The Redeemed Limited Partner acknowledges that copies of the SEC filings of the issuer of the MGP Shares are available on the EDGAR system.

 

(j) The Redeemed Limited Partner understands its rights and obligations as a future owner of MGP Shares. The Redeemed Limited Partner has not relied upon any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants or agreements other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. In agreeing to acquire the Redemption Consideration, such Redeemed Limited Partner is not relying upon any information other than the information contained in this Agreement and the results of such Redeemed Limited Partner’s own independent investigation.

 

(k) The Redeemed Limited Partner is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

 5 
 

 

(l) The Redeemed Limited Partner, together with its professional advisers, is experienced in evaluating securities transactions of the kind and nature contemplated by this Agreement. The Redeemed Limited Partner, together with its professional advisers, possesses sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to properly evaluate the risks and merits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to the decision to transfer its Redeemed Interest and acquire the Redemption Consideration.

 

(m) The Redeemed Limited Partner has determined based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that its acquisition of the Redemption Consideration and participation in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (i) are fully consistent with its financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) comply and are fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions applicable to the Redeemed Limited Partner, and (iii) are a fit, proper and suitable investment for the Redeemed Limited Partner, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Redemption Consideration. The Redeemed Limited Partner’s financial situation is such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Redemption Consideration, and such Redeemed Limited Partner can afford to suffer the complete loss of its investment in MGP Shares.

 

(n) As of the date hereof and as of the applicable Closing, the MGP Shares constituting the Redemption Consideration to be received by the Redeemed Limited Partner at such Closing will be acquired for the Redeemed Limited Partner’s own account, not as nominee or agent, for the purpose of investment and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act. As of the date hereof and as of the applicable Closing, the Redeemed Limited Partner has no present intention of distributing the MGP Shares constituting the Redemption Consideration to be received at such Closing in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to the Redeemed Limited Partner’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such MGP Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws; provided further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by the Redeemed Limited Partner to hold any of the MGP Shares constituting the Redemption Consideration for any period of time.

 

(o) As of the date hereof and as of the First Closing Date, the Redeemed Limited Partner presently has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, hypothecate, pledge, donate or otherwise transfer (with or without consideration) or grant participations to such person, with respect to any of the MGP Shares constituting the Redemption Consideration.

 

5.     Conditions to Obligations of the Partnership. The obligation of the Partnership to deliver the applicable portion of Redemption Consideration to the Redeemed Limited Partner at any Closing is subject to the fulfillment (or waiver by the Partnership), before or at the time of the applicable Closing, of each of the following conditions:

 

(a) All of the parties to the Concurrent Redemption Agreement shall have executed and delivered the Concurrent Redemption Agreement.

 

 6 
 

 

(b) All of the conditions set forth in Section 5 of the Concurrent Redemption Agreement for each Closing (as defined in the Concurrent Redemption Agreement) shall have been fulfilled (or waived by the Partnership).

(c) All of the parties to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement by and among the members of the General Partner (the “MIPA”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, shall have executed and delivered the MIPA. The transactions contemplated herein for the First Closing Date shall occur concurrently with the transactions contemplated for the closing defined under the MIPA.

 

(d) The representations made by the Redeemed Limited Partner in this Agreement shall be true and correct when made and at the time of the applicable Closing.

6.     Tax Matters. The Parties agree that, for purposes of Section 736 of the Code, the Redemption Consideration and all other amounts paid or considered paid to Redeemed Limited Partner (including all deemed distributions pursuant to Section 752(b) of the Code, if any) in consideration for the Redemption Interest will be treated as distributions made in exchange for the interest of such Redeemed Limited Partner in the property of Partnership pursuant to Section 736(b) of the Code and the corresponding provisions of any applicable state or local tax laws. The Parties further agree that, for the purpose of Section 751 of the Code, the Redemption Price will be characterized based upon the assets of Partnership in proportion to their respective fair market values in accordance with the provisions of the Code as determined by the Partnership in good faith and the Parties agree to report in a manner consistent with such characterization, unless otherwise required by law. The Redeemed Limited Partner’s distributive share of Partnership’s taxable income or loss for the Partnership’s 2023 taxable year will be determined on the basis of an interim closing of the books of the Partnership as of the First Closing Date and will not be based upon a proration of the taxable income or loss for the Partnership for the entire taxable year. A Schedule K-1 to Form 1065 for such Redeemed Limited Partner based upon the allocation of such Redeemed Limited Partner’s distributive share set forth above will be prepared as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the Partnership’s 2023 taxable year and delivered to such Redeemed Limited Partner for purposes of facilitating the timely filing of any federal, state, and local tax returns of such Redeemed Limited Partner. To the extent the Partnership, based on the application of Section 708 of the Code or Treasury Regulations Section 1.736-1(a)(6), is required to issue a Schedule K-1 to Form 1065 for the Redeemed Limited Partner with respect to taxable years of the Partnership which begin after the end of the Partnership’s 2023 taxable year, no items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credits shall be shown on any such Schedule K-1 to Form 1065.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Partnership agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to remove (or cause to be removed) from the MGP Shares comprising the applicable portion of Redemption Consideration to be delivered at each Closing, at no cost to the Redeemed Limited Partner, any restrictive legend restricting the resale of such MGP Shares.

 

8.     Release of Claims. Effective upon the First Closing Date, the Redeemed Limited Partner, on behalf of it and its affiliates (collectively, the “Releasors”), hereby releases, waives, and forever discharges the Partnership and its subsidiaries, and their respective affiliates, partners, officers, manager and agents (collectively, the “Releasees”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs, expenses, liens, covenants, damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims, and demands, of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether now known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity, which any of such Releasors ever had, now have, or hereafter can, shall, or may have against any of such Releasees with respect to the Partnership, its subsidiaries or the operations or affairs of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, including rights to distributions made or declared after the First Closing Date; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 8 shall impair the ability of the Redeemed Limited Partner to enforce its rights under this Agreement against the Partnership.

 

9.     Survival.
