In connection with the IPO Conversion, your then outstanding non-qualified options (the “Prior Options”) to purchase Class B LP Units (the “Units”) of the LP Entity pursuant to that certain Option Grant Agreement, dated [                    ] (the “Option Agreement”) were replaced by non-qualified options (the “New Options”) to purchase shares of common stock (“Shares”) of the Company (the “Exchange”).
