(6) Delayed Exchange Class B units will be issued upon exercise of the option and will have the right to receive dividend payments, however, they are not eligible for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Rights of Class B Members until seven years after the issuance date, at which time they will be 100% exchangeable for shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock (subject to the restructuring in the Exchange Rights Agreement).
