tax return of the Corporate Taxpayer for any Taxable Year, the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to the TRA Party a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Tax Benefit Payment in respect of the TRA Party for such Taxable Year
and the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment and components thereof (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). Each Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.3(a) and may be amended as provided
in Section 2.3(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b)). 

  
 11 








 (b) Applicable Principles. For purposes of calculating the Realized Tax Benefit or
Realized Tax Detriment for any period, carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to the Basis Adjustments, Pre-IPO NOLs, Original Basis Adjustment, Remedial Allocations and Imputed Interest shall be considered to be subject to the rules
of the Code and the Treasury Regulations, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to the Basis
Adjustment, Pre-IPO NOLs, Original Basis Adjustment, Remedial Allocations, or Imputed Interest and another portion that is not, such respective portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology.

 Section 2.3 Procedures, Amendments. 

(a) Procedure. Every time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to the TRA Party an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any
Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b), and any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporate Taxpayer shall also (x) deliver to such TRA Party schedules, valuation reports, if any, and work
papers, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or requested by such TRA Party, providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and (y) allow such TRA Party reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives
at the Corporate Taxpayer, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or requested by such TRA Party, in connection with a review of such Schedule. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, each time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to
a TRA Party a Tax Benefit Schedule, in addition to the Tax Benefit Schedule duly completed, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to such TRA Party the Corporate Taxpayer Return, the reasonably detailed calculation by the Corporate Taxpayer of the
applicable Hypothetical Tax Liability, the reasonably detailed calculation by the Corporate Taxpayer of the applicable Actual Tax Liability, as well as any other work papers as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or requested by such TRA Party,
provided that the Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to redact any information that it reasonably believes is unnecessary for purposes of determining the items in the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto. An applicable Schedule or amendment
thereto shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days after the first date on which the TRA Party has received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless such TRA Party (i) within thirty
(30) calendar days after receiving an applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides
a written waiver of such right of any Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the
Corporate Taxpayer and any objecting TRA Party, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of an Objection Notice, the
Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.9 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”). 

  
 12 








 (b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from
time to time by the Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified after the date the Schedule was provided to a TRA Party, (iii) to comply
with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax
item to such Taxable Year, or (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year (any such Schedule, an “Amended
Schedule”). The Attribute Schedule shall be appropriately amended by the TRA Party and the Corporate Taxpayer to the extent that, as a result of a Determination, the Corporate Taxpayer is required to calculate its Tax liability in a manner
inconsistent with the Attribute Schedule. The Corporate Taxpayer shall provide an Amended Schedule to each TRA Party within ninety (90) calendar days of the occurrence of an event referenced in clauses (i) through (v) of the first
sentence of this Section 2.3(b). 
 ARTICLE III 

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS 

Section 3.1 Payments.  

(a) Payments. Within five (5) calendar days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to a TRA Party becomes final in
accordance with Section 2.3(a), the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay such TRA Party for such Taxable Year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Tax Benefit Payment in respect of such TRA Party for such Taxable Year determined
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) over (ii) the aggregate amount of Advance Payments previously made to such TRA Party under this Section 3.1(a) in respect of such Taxable Year. In addition, the Corporate Taxpayer may, at its sole election,
make Advance Payments to the TRA Party in respect of a Taxable Year; provided that, if the Corporate Taxpayer makes Advanced Payments, it shall make Advance Payments to all parties eligible to receive payments under all of the Tax Receivable
Agreements in proportion to their respective amount of anticipated remaining payments under the applicable Tax Receivable Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year. Each such Tax Benefit Payment or such Advance Payment shall be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Party to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be
made in respect of estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, federal estimated income tax payments. 
 (b) A
“Tax Benefit Payment” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of the portion of the Net Tax Benefit Attributable to such TRA Party and the Interest Amount with respect
thereto. A Net Tax Benefit is “Attributable” to a TRA Party to the extent that is derived from any Basis Adjustment, Pre-IPO NOLs, the Original Basis Adjustment, Remedial Allocations, and any Imputed Interest that is attributable to
the Units acquired by Corporate Taxpayer in the Reorganizations or an Exchange, as applicable, undertaken by or with respect to such TRA Party; provided that if Desert Newco becomes a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
the Net Tax Benefit in respect of the Original Basis Adjustment that is Attributable to a TRA Party shall 

  
 13 








 
include the Net Tax Benefit derived from the portion of the Original Basis Adjustment that corresponds to the Remedial Allocations that would have been Attributable to such TRA Party if Desert
Newco had not changed its status from a partnership to a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Interest Amount shall not be treated as interest but instead shall be treated as
additional consideration in the Reorganization, unless otherwise required by law. The “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the
end of such Taxable Year over the sum of (i) the total amount of payments previously made under Section 3.1(a) (excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts) and (ii) the total amount of Tax Benefit Payments and Advance
Payments (as such terms are defined in each of the Other Tax Receivable Agreements) previously made under Section 3.1(a) of the applicable Other Tax Receivable Agreement (excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts as defined therein);
provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the TRA Party shall not be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment or Advance Payment. The “Interest Amount” in respect of the TRA Party shall equal
the interest on the amount of the unpaid Net Tax Benefit Attributable to such TRA Party for a Taxable Year, which interest shall accrue on any unpaid Net Tax Benefit from and after the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporate Taxpayer
Return for such Taxable Year, calculated at the Agreed Rate, until the date such unpaid amounts are paid. “Advance Payments” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means the payments made by the Corporate Taxpayer to such TRA
Party as an advance of such TRA Party’s anticipated Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments shall be calculated
by utilizing Valuation Assumptions (1) and (3), substituting in each case the terms “the date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after any
lump-sum payment under Article IV of this Agreement or any of the Other Tax Receivable Agreements in respect of present or future Tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreements, the Tax Benefit Payment, Net Tax Benefit and components
thereof shall be calculated without taking into account any such attributes with respect to which such a lump sum payment has been made or any such lump-sum payment. 

Section 3.2 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment
of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to ensure such intentions are realized. 

Section 3.3 Pro Rata Payments; Coordination of Benefits With Other Tax Receivable Agreements. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate amount of the Corporate Taxpayer’s tax
benefit from the reduction in Tax liability as a result of the Basis Adjustments, Pre-IPO NOLs, Original Basis Adjustments, Remedial Allocations or Imputed Interest under the Tax Receivable Agreements (as such terms are defined in each Tax
Receivable Agreement) is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize available deductions and other attributes, the limitation on the tax benefit for the Corporate
Taxpayer shall be allocated among the Tax Receivable Agreements (and among all parties eligible for payments thereunder) in 

  
 14 








 
proportion to the respective amounts of Tax Benefit Payments that would have been determined under the Tax Receivable Agreements if the Corporate Taxpayer had sufficient taxable income so that
there were no such limitation; provided, that for purposes of allocating among the Tax Receivable Agreements (and among all parties eligible for payments thereunder) the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments payable under the Tax Receivable Agreements with
respect to any Taxable Year, the operation of this Section 3.3(a) with respect to any prior Taxable Year shall be taken into account, it being the intention of the parties to the Tax Receivable Agreements for each party eligible for payments
thereunder to receive, in the aggregate, Tax Benefit Payments in proportion to the aggregate Net Tax Benefits Attributable to such party had this Section 3.3(a) never operated. 

(b) After taking into account Section 3.3(a), if for any reason the Corporate Taxpayer does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to
make all Tax Benefit Payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreements in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party agree that (i) the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay the same proportion of each Tax Benefit
Payment due to each Person due a payment under each of the Tax Receivable Agreements in respect of such Taxable Year, without favoring one obligation over the other, and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year
until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been made in full. 
 (c) To the extent the Corporate Taxpayer makes a
payment to the TRA Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement (taking into account Section 3.3(a) and (b), but excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts) in an amount in excess of the
amount of such payment that should have been made to the TRA Party in respect of such Taxable Year, then (i) the TRA Party shall not receive further payments under Section 3.1(a) until the TRA Party has foregone an amount of payments equal
to such excess and (ii) the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay the amount of the TRA Party’s foregone payments to the other TRA Parties under all of the Tax Receivable Agreements in a manner such that each of the other TRA Parties, to the
maximum extent possible, shall have received aggregate payments under Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement or the other Tax Receivable Agreements, as applicable (in each case, taking into account Section 3.3(a) and (b) of the applicable
Tax Receivable Agreement, but excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts) in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess payment to the TRA Party. 

(d) The parties hereto agree that the parties to the Other Tax Receivable Agreements are expressly made third party beneficiaries of the
provisions of this Section 3.3. 
 ARTICLE IV 

TERMINATION 

Section 4.1 Early Termination and Breach of Agreement. 

(a) With the prior written approval of a majority of the Non-Investor Directors, the Corporate Taxpayer may terminate this Agreement with
respect to all amounts payable to the TRA Party at any time by paying (i) to the TRA Party the Early Termination Payment in respect of the TRA Party and (ii) to each Exchange TRA Party and Other


  
 15 








 
Reorganization TRA Parties the Early Termination Payment under the applicable Other Tax Receivable Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement shall only terminate pursuant to this
Section 4.1(a) upon the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by the TRA Party, Exchange TRA Parties and Other Reorganization TRA Parties under each of the applicable Other Tax Receivable Agreements (unless otherwise agreed by the Corporate
Taxpayer and the Representatives under Section 4.1(a) of the Tax Receivable Agreement (Exchanges)), and the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver an Early Termination Notice only if it is able to make all required Early Termination Payments under
each Tax Receivable Agreement at the time required by Section 4.3, and provided, further, that the Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any
Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporate Taxpayer to the TRA Party in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), the Corporate Taxpayer shall not have any further payment obligations
under this Agreement, other than for any (a) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer, on one hand, and the TRA Party, on the other, as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (b) Tax Benefit
Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (b) is included in the Early Termination Payment). 

(b) In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to
make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations
hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include (without duplication), but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination
Payments calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of a TRA Party agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party as due and payable but unpaid as of
the date of a breach, and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of any TRA Party due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach provided that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.2 shall apply with
respect to the determination of the amount payable by the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches this Agreement, the TRA Party shall be entitled to elect to
receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such
payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due
pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment
when due to the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer has insufficient funds to make such payment despite using reasonable best efforts to obtain funds to make such payment (including by causing Desert Newco or any other Subsidiaries to distribute or
lend funds for such payment and access any revolving credit facilities or other sources of available credit to fund any such amounts); provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment; provided
further that, solely with respect to a Tax Benefit 

  
 16 








 
Payment, if the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by existing credit agreements to which Desert Newco is a party, which
limitations are effective as of the date of this Agreement, Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate. 

Section 4.2 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporate Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early termination under
Section 4.1 above, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to each TRA Party notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”)
specifying the Corporate Taxpayer’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment(s) due for each TRA Party. Each Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on
all parties thirty (30) calendar days after the first date on which the TRA Party has received such Schedule or amendment thereto unless the TRA Party (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination
Schedule, provides the Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”) or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of a Material Objection Notice
within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer (such thirty (30) calendar day date as modified, if at all by clauses (i) or
(ii), the “Early Termination Effective Date”). If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by
the Corporate Taxpayer of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the objecting TRA Party shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures in which case such Schedule becomes binding ten (10) days after the conclusion of the
Reconciliation Procedures. 
 Section 4.3 Payment upon Early Termination. 

(a) Within three (3) calendar days after an Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to the TRA Party an amount
equal to the Early Termination Payment in respect of such TRA Party. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the TRA Party or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate
Taxpayer and such TRA Party. 
 (b) “Early Termination Payment” in respect of a TRA Party shall equal the present value,
discounted at the Early Termination Rate (using a mid-year convention) as of the applicable Early Termination Effective Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of such TRA Party that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer
beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions in respect of such TRA Party are applied. 
 ARTICLE
V 
 SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS 

Section 5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment, Early
Termination Payment or any other payment required to be made by the Corporate Taxpayer to the TRA Parties under this 

  
 17 








 
Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed
money of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries (such obligations, “Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporate Taxpayer that are not Senior Obligations. For
the avoidance of doubt, any amounts owed by the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement or the Other Tax Receivable Agreements are not Senior Obligations. 

Section 5.2 Late Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment, Early
Termination Payment or other payment under this Agreement not made to the TRA Parties when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which
such Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or other payment was due and payable. 
 ARTICLE VI 

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION 

Section 6.1 Participation in the Corporate Taxpayer’s and Desert Newco’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporate Taxpayer and Desert Newco, including without limitation the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and
defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer shall notify a TRA Party of, and keep the TRA Party reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporate
Taxpayer and Desert Newco by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the rights and obligations of such TRA Party under this Agreement, and shall provide to each such TRA Party reasonable opportunity to provide
information and other input to the Corporate Taxpayer, Desert Newco and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer and Desert Newco shall not be required
to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the LLC Agreement. 
 Section 6.2 Consistency. The Corporate
Taxpayer and the TRA Parties agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including federal, state and local Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including, without limitation, the Basis Adjustments and
each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporate Taxpayer in any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement unless otherwise required by law. 

Section 6.3 Cooperation. Each of the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Parties shall (a) furnish to the other party in a timely
manner such information, documents and other materials as the other party may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or
defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the other party and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as the other party or
its representatives may 

  
 18 








 
reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and the Corporate Taxpayer shall
reimburse each such TRA Party for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section.

adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the

Section 7.6 Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers.

except as otherwise provided in such joinder. 
 (b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver
is approved in writing by each of the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party; provided that any amendment to, or waiver of, the definition of Change of Control, Section 4.1(a), Section 7.6(a) or this proviso to Section 7.6(b) will also
require the written approval of a majority of the Non-Investor Directors. 
 (c) All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporate Taxpayer shall require and cause any

 20 








 
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporate Taxpayer, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Corporate Taxpayer would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

Section 7.7 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. 
 Section 7.8 Resolution of Disputes. 

(a) Any and all disputes which are not governed by Section 7.9 and cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any
party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) (each a
“Dispute”) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the Dispute fail
to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to the practice
of law in the State of New York and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the Corporate Taxpayer may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of

(i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.8 to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement
would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Corporate Taxpayer as agent of the TRA Party for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees

(c) (i) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.8, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial
proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the for a designated by this

 (ii) The
parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court
referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Section 7.8 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same. 

  
 21 








 Section 7.9 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and a TRA Party
are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.3, 3.1, 4.2 or 6.2 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be
submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized
accounting or law firm, and unless the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer or the TRA Party or other
actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert
shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Attribute Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty
(30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been
submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting
the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs
and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporate Taxpayer except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party shall bear their own costs and expenses of
such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert adopts the TRA Party’s position, in which case the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse the TRA Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert
adopts the Corporate Taxpayer’s position, in which case the TRA Party shall reimburse the Corporate Taxpayer for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute
within the meaning of this Section 7.9 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be binding on the Corporate
Taxpayer and the TRA Party and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. 
 Section 7.10 Withholding. The
Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporate Taxpayer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or
any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was made.

 Section 7.11 Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of
Corporate Assets. 
 (a) If the Corporate Taxpayer is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that
files a consolidated income tax return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and
(ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole. 

(b) If any entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a
corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) with which such entity does not file a consolidated tax return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating
the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully
taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the gross fair market value of the contributed asset. For purposes of this Section 7.11, a transfer of a partnership
interest shall be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership allocated to such partner. 

Section 7.12 Confidentiality. 

(a) Each TRA Party and each of their assignees acknowledge and agree that the information of the Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and,
except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence
and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors, concerning Desert Newco and its Affiliates and successors or the Members, learned by the TRA
Party heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of the
TRA Party in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for the TRA Party to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries
regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each TRA Party and each of their assignees
(and each employee, representative or other agent of the TRA Party or its assignees, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Corporate Taxpayer, Desert Newco and
their Affiliates, and any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the TRA Party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 

(b) If a TRA Party or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.12, the
Corporate Taxpayer shall have the right 

  
 23 








 
and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or
other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Subsidiaries or the TRA Parties and the accounts and funds managed by the Corporate
Taxpayer and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
