2.	For so long as the MSA is in effect, Article 8 regarding the management of the Company and the secondment of officers by the Manager to the Company cannot be amended without the Manager’s approval	2.	For so long as the MSA is in effect, Article VI of the bylaws regarding the management of MIC Corp. and the secondment of officers by the Manager to MIC Corp. cannot be amended without the Manager’s approval

The Company believes that, as the foregoing comparison demonstrates, the provisions requiring security holder or Manager approval of amendments to the governing documents are not being materially changed as a result of the Conversion. In addition, any changes to the amendment provisions described above are solely to comply with the requirements of the DGCL, which MIC Corp. will become subject to upon consummation of the Conversion. The Conversion, and the provisions described above, have been structured specifically to maintain all holders’ existing rights. Consistent with the Staff’s Exchange Act Rule 14a-4(a)(3) C&DI Question 101.01, all of these provisions are “inextricably intertwined” with the Conversion and, as such, effectively constitute a single matter. The differences in the provisions described above are solely due to the legal requirements of the Company as a corporation following the Conversion. There are no changes to the amendment provisions that are not a direct result of the legal requirements of the Conversion. As such, the Company does not believe that any unbundling under Rule 14a-4(a)(3) is required.
