doubt, in the event a Schedule is amended after such Schedule becomes final pursuant to Section 2.3(a), the Amended Schedule shall not be taken into account in calculating any Tax Benefit Payment in the Taxable Year to

accordance with Section 2.3(a), the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to each TRA Holder the Tax Benefit Payment in respect of such TRA Holder determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b) for such Taxable
Year. Each such payment shall be made by check, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Holder to the Corporate Taxpayer, or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA
Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated Tax payments, including, without limitation, U.S. federal or state estimated income Tax payments. 

(b)    A “Tax Benefit Payment” in respect of a TRA Holder 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 Holder and the Accrued Amount with respect thereto. A Net Tax Benefit is “Attributable” to a TRA Holder to the extent that it is derived from
any Blocker NOLs or Imputed Interest that is attributable to Blocker. Subject to Section 3.3, 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 this Section 3.1 (excluding payments attributable to Accrued Amounts) and
(ii) the total amount of Tax Benefit Payments previously made under Section 3.1 of the Non-Blocker Holders TRA and the corresponding provision of any Post-IPO
TRA; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no TRA Holder shall be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Accrued Amount” with respect to any portion of a Net Tax Benefit shall
equal an amount determined in the same manner as interest on such portion of the Net Tax Benefit for a Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporate Taxpayer Return for such Taxable Year
until the Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Accrued Amount shall not be treated as interest but shall instead be treated as additional consideration for the acquisition of the stock of Blocker in the Reorganization
Transactions unless otherwise required by law. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, unless a TRA Holder elects for the provisions of this Section 3.1(c) not to apply to the Reorganization 

  
 12 







 
Transactions by notifying the Corporate Taxpayer in writing on or prior to the closing date of the Reorganization Transactions, the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments to be made to such TRA Holder
with respect to the Reorganization Transactions shall be limited to (i) 100%, or such other percentage such TRA Holder elects to apply by notifying the Corporate Taxpayer in writing on or prior to the closing date of the Reorganization Transactions,
of (ii) the Blocker NOLs. 
 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 the Tax Receivable Agreements. It is also intended that the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreements will result in 85% of the Cumulative
Net Realized Tax Benefit, and the Accrued Amount thereon, being paid to the Persons to whom payments are due pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreements. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to achieve these
fundamental results. 
 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 subject to the Tax Receivable Agreements 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 as follows: (i) first among any Post-IPO TRAs (and among all Persons eligible for
payments thereunder in the manner set forth in such Post-IPO TRAs) and (ii) to the extent of any remaining limitation on tax benefit for the Corporate Taxpayer after the application of clause (i), among
this Agreement and the Non-Blocker Holders TRA (and among all Persons eligible for payments thereunder) in proportion to the respective amounts of Net Tax Benefit that would have been determined under this
Agreement and the Non-Blocker Holders TRA if the Corporate Taxpayer had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation. 

(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, then (i) the Corporate Taxpayer will first pay all amounts due under this Agreement and the
Non-Blocker Holders TRA to each Person to whom a payment is due under each such Tax Receivable Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year, without favoring one obligation over the other (provided that, 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), and (ii) after fulfilling the obligations set forth in clause (i) of this
Section 3.3(a), the Corporate Taxpayer will then pay all amounts due under any Post-IPO TRA in respect of such Taxable Year (provided that, 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 a TRA Holder in respect of a particular Taxable Year under
Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement (taking into account Section 3.3(a) and Section 3.3(b), but excluding payments attributable to Accrued


  
 13 







 
Amounts) in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to such TRA Holder in respect of such Taxable Year, then (i) such TRA Holder shall not receive
further payments under Section 3.1(a) until such TRA Holder has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (ii) the Corporate Taxpayer will pay the amount of such TRA Holder’s foregone payments to the
other Persons to whom a payment is due under the Tax Receivable Agreements in a manner such that each such Person to whom a payment is due under the Tax Receivable Agreements, to the maximum extent possible, receives aggregate payments under
Section 3.1(a) or the comparable section of the other Tax Receivable Agreement(s), as applicable (in each case, taking into account Section 3.3(a) and Section 3.3(b) or
the comparable section of the other Tax Receivable Agreement(s), but excluding payments attributable to Accrued Amounts) in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess payment to such TRA Holder. 

(d)    The parties hereto agree that the parties to the Non-Blocker Holders TRA
and any Post-IPO TRA are expressly made third party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 3.3. 

(e)    A Post-IPO TRA shall be included in the definition of Tax Receivable
Agreements for purposes of this Section 3.3 only if such Post-IPO TRA does not provide otherwise. 

ARTICLE IV 

TERMINATION 

Section 4.1    Early Termination at Election of the Corporate Taxpayer. The Corporate Taxpayer may terminate
this Agreement at any time by paying (i) to each TRA Holder the Early Termination Payment due to such TRA Holder pursuant to Section 4.5(b) and (ii) to each Non-Blocker
Holder the Early Termination Payment under the Non-Blocker Holders TRA (such termination, an “Early Termination”); provided that the Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice of
exercise of its termination rights under this Section 4.1 prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporate Taxpayer, the Corporate
Taxpayer shall not have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any Tax Benefit Payment previously due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and, except to the extent included in the Early Termination
Payment, any Tax Benefit Payment due for any Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the Early Termination Date. Upon payment of all amounts provided for in this Section 4.1, this Agreement shall terminate. 

Section 4.2    Early Termination upon Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, all obligations
hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date of the Change of Control and shall include, but not be limited to the following: (a) payment of the
Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the effective date of a Change of Control, (b) payment of any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of a TRA Holder agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and
such TRA Holder as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice, and (c) except to the extent included in the Early Termination Payment, payment of any Tax Benefit Payment due for any Taxable Year ending prior to, with or
including the effective date of a Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Early Termination Payment shall be calculated utilizing the Valuation Assumptions and by substituting in each case the terms “the closing date of a
Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.” 

  
 14 







 Section 4.3    Breach of Agreement. 

(a)    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 within three (3) months of the date when due, as a result of 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, all obligations hereunder shall be automatically accelerated and shall be immediately due and payable, and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on
the date of such breach and shall include, but shall not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment previously due
and payable but unpaid as of the date of the breach, and (iii) except to the extent included in the Early Termination Payment, any Tax Benefit Payment due for any Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the date of the breach; provided
that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.4 shall apply with respect to the determination of the amount payable by the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to this sentence. 

(b)    The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) 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 shall 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 (3) months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except in the case of an Early Termination Payment or any payment treated as an Early
Termination Payment, 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; provided that the
interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any existing credit agreement to
which Liberty LLC or any Subsidiary of Liberty LLC is a party, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate); and provided further that it shall be a breach of this
Agreement, and the provisions of Section 4.3(a) shall apply as of the original due date of the Tax Benefit Payment, if the Corporate Taxpayer makes any distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders while any
Tax Benefit Payment is due and payable but unpaid. 
 Section 4.4    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 the Agent notice of such intention to exercise such right (the “Early
Termination Notice”). Upon delivery of the Early Termination Notice or the occurrence of an event described in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3(a), the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver
(i) a schedule showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment (the “Early Termination Schedule”) and (ii) any other work papers reasonably requested by the Agent. In addition, the Corporate
Taxpayer shall allow the Agent reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives of 

  
 15 







 
the Corporate Taxpayer in connection with a review of such Early Termination Schedule. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days
from the first date on which the Agent has received such Schedule or amendment thereto unless (x) the Agent, 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 (y) the Agent provides a written waiver of such right of a Material Objection Notice within the period described in clause (x) above,
in which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date a waiver from the Agent has been received by the Corporate Taxpayer (the “Early Termination Effective Date”). If the Corporate Taxpayer and Agent, 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 Agent shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures under
Section 7.10 or Resolution of Disputes procedures under Section 7.9, as applicable. 

Section 4.5    Payment upon Early Termination. 

(a)    Subject to its right to withdraw any notice of Early Termination pursuant to Section 4.1,
within three (3) calendar days after the Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to each TRA Holder its Early Termination Payment. Each such payment shall be made by check, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to a bank account or accounts designated by such TRA Holder, or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Holder. 

(b)    The “Early Termination Payment” shall equal, with respect to each TRA Holder, the present value,
discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer to such TRA Holder beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the
Valuation Assumptions 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 payment pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 5.2 resulting from a Change of Control 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, notwithstanding the above, the determination of whether it is a breach of this Agreement if the
Corporate Taxpayer fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due is governed by Section 4.3. 

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 any other payment under this Agreement not made to any TRA Holder when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate (or, if so provided
in Section 4.3(b), at the Agreed Rate) and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or any other payment under this Agreement was due and payable.

 ARTICLE VI 

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION 

Section 6.1    Participation in the Corporate Taxpayer’s and Liberty LLC’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 Liberty LLC, including without limitation preparing,
filing or amending any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer (i) shall notify the Agent of, and keep the Agent reasonably informed with respect to,
the portion of any audit, examination, or any other administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) of the Corporate Taxpayer or Liberty LLC by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the
rights and obligations of the TRA Holders under this Agreement, (ii) shall provide the Agent with reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Corporate Taxpayer, Liberty LLC and their respective advisors concerning the
conduct of any such portion of a Tax Proceeding, provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer shall not settle or otherwise resolve any part of a Tax Proceeding described in the previous clause that relates to Blocker NOLs or the deduction
of Imputed Interest (and in each case, that could have a material effect on the TRA Holders’ rights under this Agreement) without the consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided
further, that the Corporate Taxpayer and Liberty LLC shall not be required to take any action, or refrain from taking any action, that is inconsistent with any provision of the Liberty LLC Agreement. 

Section 6.2    Consistency. The Corporate Taxpayer and, unless otherwise required by applicable law, each of
the TRA Holders, agree to report, and to cause their respective Subsidiaries to report, for all purposes, including U.S. federal, state and local Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related
items (including, without limitation, each Tax Benefit Payment), but, for financial reporting purposes, only in respect of items that are not explicitly characterized as “deemed” or in a similar manner by the terms of this Agreement, in a
manner consistent with the description of any Tax characterization herein (including as set forth in Section 2.2(b) and Section 3.1(b)) and any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of
the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3). If the Corporate Taxpayer and any TRA Holder, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve any disagreement concerning such
treatment within thirty (30) calendar days, the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Holder shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures under Section 7.10 or Resolution of Disputes procedures under
Section 7.9, as applicable. 
 Section 6.3    Cooperation. Each TRA Holder shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) furnish to the Corporate Taxpayer in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the Corporate Taxpayer 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 Tax Proceeding, (ii) make itself available to the Corporate Taxpayer and its representatives to provide explanations of documents
and materials and such 

  
 17 







 
other information as the Corporate Taxpayer or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (i) above, and (iii) reasonably
cooperate in connection with any such matter. The Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse each TRA Holder for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.3.

 Section 7.2    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 7.3    Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except
as expressly provided in Section 3.3. 
 Section 7.4    Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 

Section 7.5    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in
any manner materially 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 parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 

Section 7.6    Successors; Assignment. 

(a)    No TRA Holder may assign this Agreement to any person without such person executing and delivering a joinder to this
Agreement in connection with assignment whereby such person agrees to succeed to the applicable portion of such TRA Holder’s interest in this Agreement and to become a party for all purposes of this Agreement. 

(b)    The Person designated as the Agent may not be changed without the prior written consent of the Corporate Taxpayer
and the Majority TRA Holders. 
 (c)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, 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 cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, 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. 

  
 19 







 Section 7.7    Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this
Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by each of the Corporate Taxpayer and the Majority TRA Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective if (i) such amendment would have a
disproportionate effect on the payments certain TRA Holders will or may receive under this Agreement unless all such disproportionately affected TRA Holders consent in writing to such amendment or (ii) such amendment would have a material and
adverse disproportionate effect on the payments the Non-Blocker Holders will or may receive under the Non-Blocker Holders TRA unless the
Non-Blocker Holders Agent consents in writing to such amendment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in
writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. 
 Section 7.8    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 7.9    Resolution of Disputes. 

(a)    Any and all disputes which are not governed by Section 7.10, including any ancillary
claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and
enforceability of this Section 7.9 and Section 7.10) (each a “Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 7.9. The parties hereto shall attempt in good
faith to resolve all Disputes by negotiation. If a Dispute between the parties hereto cannot be resolved in such manner, such Dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the then-existing rules
of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. 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 American Arbitration
Association shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to the practice of law in a U.S. state, or a nationally recognized expert in the relevant subject matter, and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language.
Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitrator shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance
of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any
Dispute. The award shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having
jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 7.9(a), the Corporate Taxpayer may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of
an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this Section 7.9(a), the 

  
 20 







 
Agent and each TRA Holder (i) expressly consents to the application of Section 7.9(c) 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 such party for service
of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such party in writing of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of
process upon such party in any such action or proceeding. 
 (c)    EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN DELAWARE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 7.9 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 fora designated by this Section 7.9(c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another. 

(d)    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 Section 7.9(c) and such parties agree not to plead or claim the
same. 
 Section 7.10    Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and the Agent or any TRA
Holder (as applicable, the “Disputing Party”) are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the calculations required to produce the schedules described in Section 2.3,
Section 4.4 and Section 6.2 (but not, for the avoidance doubt, with respect to any legal interpretation with respect to such provisions or schedules) within the relevant period designated in this
Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to the Expert. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and unless the
Corporate Taxpayer and the Disputing 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 Disputing Party or other actual or potential conflict
of interest. If the parties 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 American Arbitration Association.
The Expert shall resolve (a) any matter relating to the Exchange Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days, (b) any matter relating to a Tax Benefit
Payment Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days, and (c) any matter related to treatment of any tax related item as contemplated in Section 6.2 within fifteen (15) calendar days, or, in each case, as
soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable after such 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, any portion of such payment that is not under dispute shall be paid on the date prescribed by


  
 21 







 
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 Disputing Party shall each bear its own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless
(i) the Expert adopts such Disputing Party’s position, in which case the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse such Disputing 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 such Disputing 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 7.10 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this
Section 7.10 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries and the Disputing Party and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. 

Section 7.11    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 U.S. federal, state, local or
non-U.S. tax law; provided, that the Corporate Taxpayer and each TRA Holder shall cooperate to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding, including by providing or obtaining any certificates or
other documentation that would reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding to the extent such party is legally entitled to do so. 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 relevant TRA Holder. 

Section 7.12    Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

 (a)    If the Corporate Taxpayer 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 U.S. state or local Tax law, then, subject to the application of the Valuation Assumptions upon a Change of Control: (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 the Corporate Taxpayer (or any other entity that is obligated to make a Tax
Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder), Liberty LLC or any of Liberty LLC’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries that is treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (but only to the extent
such Subsidiaries are not held through any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) (a “Transferor”) transfers one or more Reference Assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes) with which the Transferor does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, the Transferor, 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 

  
 22 







 
treated as having disposed of such Reference Assets in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by the Transferor shall be equal to
the fair market value of the transferred Reference Assets, plus, without duplication, (i) the amount of debt to which any such Reference Asset is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered Reference Asset or (ii) the amount of
debt allocated to any such Reference Asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership interest. For purposes of this Section 7.12(b), a transfer of a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the Transferor’s share of
each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership. 
 Section 7.13    Confidentiality. 

(a)    The Agent, each TRA Holder and such TRA Holder’s assignees acknowledges and agrees that certain 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 Liberty LLC and its Affiliates and
successors or the TRA Holders, learned by the Agent or any TRA Holder heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.13 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 an Agent or a TRA Holder in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information (A) as may be
proper in the course of performing such TRA Holder’s obligations, or monitoring or enforcing such TRA Holder’s rights, under this Agreement, (B) as part of such TRA Holder’s normal reporting, rating or review procedure (including
normal credit rating and pricing process), or in connection with such TRA Holder’s or such TRA Holder’s Affiliates’ normal fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities, or to such TRA Holder’s (or any of its
Affiliates’) Affiliates, auditors, accountants, attorneys or other agents, (C) to any bona fide prospective assignee of such TRA Holder’s rights under this Agreement, or prospective merger or other business combination partner of such
TRA Holder, provided that such assignee or merger partner agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 7.13, (D) as is required to be disclosed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction,
administrative body or governmental body, or by subpoena, summons or legal process, or by law, rule or regulation; provided that any TRA Holder required to make any such disclosure to the extent legally permissible shall provide the Corporate
Taxpayer prompt notice of such disclosure, or to regulatory authorities or similar examiners conducting regulatory reviews or examinations (without any such notice to the Corporate Taxpayer), or (E) to the extent necessary for a TRA Holder to
prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding such Tax Returns from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any Tax Proceeding with respect to such Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Agent (and each employee, representative or other agent of Agent or its assignees, as applicable) and each TRA Holder and each of its assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of such TRA Holder 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, Liberty LLC, the Agent, the TRA Holders 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 Agent or any TRA Holder relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure.

 (b)    If an Agent or an assignee or a TRA Holder or an assignee commits a
breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.13, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.13
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 Holders 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. 
 Section 7.14    No More Favorable Terms. None of the
Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Subsidiaries will enter into any additional agreement providing rights similar to this Agreement or the Non-Blocker Holders TRA if such agreement provides terms that are more
favorable to the counterparty under such agreement than those provided to the TRA Holders under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer (or any of its Subsidiaries) may enter into such an agreement if this Agreement is amended
to make such more favorable terms available to the TRA Holders. 
 Section 7.15    Agreement Parity.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no amendment may be made to the Non-Blocker Holders TRA unless a substantially similar amendment is made to this Agreement, (ii) any
and all copies of amendments and / or waivers to the Non-Blocker Holders TRA must be provided to the TRA Holders, and (iii) all documentation delivered by the Corporate Taxpayer to both the TRA Holders
and the Non-Blocker Holders, or such parties’ respective Agent, must be substantially the same. 

Section 7.16    Agent Obligations: In fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, the Agent shall act for
the benefit of all TRA Holders and shall not take any action that favors one or more TRA Holders over other TRA Holders.
