Pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of LD Holdings, holders of Common Units may, subject to certain exceptions, from time to time require LD Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their Common Units (together with an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock) in exchange for, at the Issuer's election (determined solely by a majority of the Issuer's directors who are disinterested), newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 ("Class A Common Stock") of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to an average market price of one share of Class A Common Stock for each Common Unit so redeemed.
