"Quarterly Date" means each of February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15. |
2. These shares of Class V common stock ("Class V Common Stock") of the Issuer (as defined below) provide no economic rights in the Issuer to the holder thereof. However, each holder of Class V Common Stock will be entitled to vote with the holders of Class A common stock ("Class A Common Stock") of the Issuer, with each share of Class V Common Stock entitling the holder to a number of votes equal to the number of Post-Merger Class A Units (as described in footnote 3 below) held by such Class V Common Stockholder at the time of such vote. |
3. Post-Merger Class A Units represent non-voting limited liability company interests of WM Holding Company, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of an exchange agreement, these Class A units and an equivalent number of shares of Class V Common Stock are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock. These exchange rights do not expire. |
