Tax rate in effect in such jurisdiction in such Taxable Year. As an illustration of the calculation of Combined State Tax Rate for a Taxable Year, if the Company Group solely files Tax Returns in State 1 and State 2 in a Taxable Year, the maximum

 ARTICLE II 

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFIT 

Section 2.1 Attribute Schedule. Following the IPO Date, at least sixty (60) calendar days prior
to the later of the (i) filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for the Taxable Year that includes the IPO Date or (ii) the filing of all Canadian federal income Tax Returns of the Canadian Corporate Subsidiaries
for the Taxable Year that includes the IPO Date, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Party Representative a schedule (the “Attribute Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail, the information necessary to perform the
calculations required by this Agreement, including estimates of (i) projections of the yearly amount deductions generated by the Pre-IPO and IPO-Related Tax Assets
to be received or utilized by the Company Group after the IPO Date and (ii) any applicable limitations on the use of the Pre-IPO and IPO-Related Tax Assets for Tax
purposes (including under Section 382 of the Code). 
 Section 2.2 Tax Benefit Schedule. 

(a) Tax Benefit Schedule. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the later of the (i) filing of the U.S. federal income Tax
Return of the Corporation for any Taxable Year or (ii) filing of all Canadian federal income Tax Returns of the Canadian Corporate Subsidiaries for the Taxable Years of the Canadian Corporate Subsidiaries that end in the same calendar year as
such Taxable Year of the Corporation, the Corporation shall provide to the TRA Party Representative a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Tax Benefit Payment with respect to each TRA Party for such Taxable Year and the
calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment and, in each case, 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)). 
 (b) Applicable Principles. For

IPO-Related Tax Assets shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations (and any relevant provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, state, provincial or local tax law), as
applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers and carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to the Pre-IPO
and IPO-Related Tax Asset 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.

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 Amended Schedule shall become final and binding on the
Corporation and the TRA Party Representative thirty (30) calendar days after the TRA Party Representative receives the applicable Schedule or Amended Schedule unless the TRA Party Representative (i) within thirty (30) calendar days
after receiving such Schedule or Amended Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule or Amended Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides a written waiver of
such right of an Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or Amended Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporation. If the Corporation and the TRA Party
Representative, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in an Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Party
Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures, in which case such Schedule or Amended Schedule shall become final and binding ten (10) calendar days after the conclusion of the Reconciliation Procedures. 

(b) Amended Schedule. A Schedule may be amended from time to time by the Corporation (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 the TRA Party Representative, (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 a Taxable Year attributable to a 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 a 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 Representative and the Corporation to the extent that, as a result of a Determination, the Company Group is required to calculate its Tax liability in a manner inconsistent with the Attribute Schedule. The Corporation shall provide an Amended
Schedule, if any, to the TRA Party Representative 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 ten (10) calendar days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to
the TRA Party Representative becomes final and binding in accordance with Section 2.3(a), the Corporation shall pay to each 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 Corporation may, at its sole election, make Advance Payments to the TRA Parties in respect of a Taxable Year; provided that, if the Corporation makes Advance Payments, it shall make Advance Payments to all TRA Parties in proportion to
their respective amount of anticipated remaining payments under the Agreement (based on such TRA Party’s Ownership Percentage) 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 Corporation or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and such TRA Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect
of estimated 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 portion of the Net Tax Benefit attributable to such TRA Party (based on such TRA Party’s Ownership Percentage) and the Interest Amount with respect thereto. 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 total amount of payments previously made under Section 3.1(a) (excluding payments attributable to
Interest Amounts); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no TRA Party shall be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment or Advance Payment. The “Interest Amount” in respect of a TRA Party
shall equal the interest on the amount of the unpaid Net Tax Benefit attributable to such TRA Party (based on such TRA Party’s Ownership Percentage) for a Taxable Year, which interest shall accrue on any unpaid Net Tax Benefit from and after
the later of the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation’s U.S. federal income Tax Return or a Canadian Corporate Subsidiary’s Canadian federal income Tax Return, as applicable, 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 any payments made by the Corporation to such TRA Party as an advance of any anticipated Tax Benefit
Payment in respect of such TRA Party for any 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 the Valuation Assumptions,
substituting in each case the term “the date of a Change of Control” for “Early Termination Date.” 

  
 13 













 (c) In the event of a Divestiture, within ten (10) Business Days after a Divestiture
Effective Date, the Corporation shall pay to each TRA Party the portion of the Divestiture Acceleration Payment attributable to such TRA Party (based on such TRA Party’s Ownership Percentage) in respect of such Divestiture. Such payment shall
be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Party to the Corporation or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and such TRA Party. 

(d) The “Divestiture Acceleration Payment” as of the date of any Divestiture shall equal the present value, discounted at the
Early Termination Rate as of such date, of the Tax Benefit Payments resulting solely from the Transferred Tax Attributes that would be required to be paid by the Corporation to the TRA Parties beginning from the date of such Divestiture calculated
using the Valuation Assumptions, substituting in each case the term “the date of the Divestiture” for “Early Termination Date,” provided that the Divestiture Acceleration Payment shall be calculated without giving effect
to any limitation on the use of the Transferred Tax Attributes resulting from the Divesture. For purposes of calculating the present value pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid, it shall
be assumed that absent the Divestiture all Tax Benefit Payments would be paid on the later of the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation’s U.S. federal income Tax Return or the applicable Canadian Corporate Subsidiary’s
Canadian federal income Tax Return for the applicable Taxable Year. 
 (e) In the event of a Divestiture, the Corporation shall deliver to
the TRA Party Representative no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Divestiture or as soon as practicable thereafter, a schedule (a “Divestiture Schedule”) showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the
Divestiture Acceleration Payment; provided, that, with respect to any Divesture that occurs prior to or within ten (10) calendar days of the Corporation delivering the Attribute Schedule to the TRA Party Representative pursuant to
Section 2.1, the Corporation shall be permitted to deliver the applicable Divestiture Schedule to the TRA Party Representative concurrent with delivery of the Attribute Schedule. The Divestiture Schedule shall become final and binding on the
Corporation and the TRA Parties thirty (30) calendar days after the TRA Party Representative receives such Divestiture Schedule or a corresponding Amended Schedule unless the TRA Party Representative (i) within thirty (30) calendar
days after receiving such Divestiture Schedule or Amended Schedule, provides the Corporation with a Material Objection Notice made in good faith 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 Divestiture Schedule or Amended Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporation (such thirty (30)-calendar day date as modified, if at all, by clause (i) or
(ii), the “Divestiture Effective Date”). If the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such Material Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar
days after receipt by the Corporation of such Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures, in which case such Divestiture Schedule or Amended Schedule shall become final and
binding ten (10) calendar days after the conclusion of the Reconciliation Procedures. 
 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.

 ARTICLE IV 

TERMINATION 
 
Section 4.1 Early Termination and Breach of Agreement. 
 (a) With the prior written approval of (x) a majority of the
Independent Directors and (y) the TRA Party Representative, the Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable to the TRA Parties at any time by paying to each TRA Party the portion of the Early Termination Payment
attributable to such TRA Party (based on such TRA Party’s Ownership Percentage); provided, however, that this Agreement shall only terminate pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) upon the receipt of the applicable portion of the
Early Termination Payment by each TRA Party, and the Corporation shall deliver an Early Termination Notice only if it is able to make the Early Termination Payment at the time required by Section 4.3, and provided, further, that
the Corporation may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which the Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporation in
accordance with this Section 4.1(a), the Corporation shall not have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any (a) Tax Benefit Payments in respect of the TRA Parties agreed to by the Corporation, on one hand,
and the TRA Party Representative, on the other, as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Date and (b) Tax Benefit Payments in respect of the TRA Parties 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 Corporation 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 Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit
Payments in respect of the TRA Parties agreed to by the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach and (3) any Tax Benefit Payments in respect of the TRA Parties due for the Taxable
Year ending with or including the date of a breach (except to the extent the amount described in clause (3) is included in the Early Termination Payment); provided that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.2 shall apply
with respect to the determination of the amount payable by the Corporation pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation breaches this Agreement, the TRA Party Representative shall be entitled to elect
to seek specific performance of the terms hereof or to require the Corporation to pay the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above to the TRA Parties. 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 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 (3) months of the 

  
 15 













 
date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to a Change of Control, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Corporation fails to make any
Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Corporation has insufficient funds to make such payment despite using reasonable best efforts to obtain funds to make such payment (including by causing its 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). 

Section 4.2 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under
Section 4.1(a), the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Party Representative notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”)
specifying the Corporation’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on the Corporation and the TRA
Parties thirty (30) calendar days after the TRA Party Representative receives such Early Termination Schedule or a corresponding Amended Schedule unless the TRA Party Representative (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving
such Early Termination Schedule or Amended Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Early Termination Schedule or Amended Schedule (“Material Objection Notice”) made in good faith 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 Early Termination Schedule or Amended Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is
received by the Corporation (such thirty (30)-calendar day date as modified, if at all, by clause (i) or (ii), the “Early Termination Effective Date”). If the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative, for any reason, are
unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such Material Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of such Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative shall
employ the Reconciliation Procedures, in which case such Early Termination Schedule or Amended Schedule shall become final and binding ten (10) calendar days after the conclusion of the Reconciliation Procedures. 

Section 4.3 Payment upon Early Termination. 

(a) Within three (3) Business Days after an Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporation shall pay to each TRA Party an amount equal
to the portion of the Early Termination Payment attributable to such TRA Party (based on such TRA Party’s Ownership Percentage). Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated
by such TRA Party or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and such TRA Party. 
 (b) The “Early Termination Payment”
shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the applicable Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporation beginning from the Early Termination Date and
applying the Valuation Assumptions, assuming that absent the Early Termination Notice all Tax Benefit Payments would be paid on the later of the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation’s U.S. federal income Tax Return or all of
the Canadian Corporate Subsidiaries’ Canadian federal income Tax Returns for the applicable Taxable Year. 

  
 16 













 Section 4.4 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the time that all Tax
Benefit Payments have been made to the TRA Parties under this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE V 

SUBORDINATION; DEFERRAL OF 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 Corporation to the TRA Parties under this 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 Corporation (such obligations, “Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of
the Corporation that are not Senior Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts owed by the Corporation under this Agreement are not Senior Obligations. 

Section 5.2 Compliance with Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, if, at the time any amounts
become due and payable hereunder, (a) the Corporation is not permitted, pursuant to the terms its outstanding indebtedness, to pay such amounts, or (b) (i) the Corporation does not have the cash on hand to pay such amounts, and
(ii) no Subsidiary of the Corporation is permitted, pursuant to the terms of its outstanding indebtedness, to pay dividends to the Corporation to allow it to pay such amounts, then, in each case, the Corporation shall, by notice to the TRA
Party Representative, be permitted to defer the payment of such amounts until the condition described in clause (a) or (b) is no longer applicable, in which case such amounts (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as described in
the immediately following sentence) shall become due and payable immediately. If the Corporation defers the payment of any such amounts pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such amounts shall accrue interest at the Agreed Rate, from the date that
such amounts originally became due and owing pursuant to the terms hereof to the date that such amounts were paid. To the extent the Company Group incurs, creates, assumes or permits to exist any indebtedness after the date hereof, the Corporation
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any amounts payable hereunder are, as of the later of the date of this Agreement or the date of incurrence of any such indebtedness, reasonably expected to be paid when and as such amounts
become due and payable, taking into account any covenants or other restrictions under such indebtedness. 

Section 5.3 Late Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit
Payment, Divestiture 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, unless Section 5.2 applies, be payable together with any interest
thereon, computed at the Default Rate (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not the Agreed Rate) and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or other payment was due and payable or Section 5.2 ceased to
apply to such amount, as applicable.

 ARTICLE VI 

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION 

Section 6.1 Participation in the Company Group’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Corporation shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Company Group, including the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling
any issue pertaining to Taxes, subject to a requirement that the Corporation act in good faith in connection with its control of any matter which is reasonably expected to affect the TRA Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall notify the TRA Party Representative of, and keep the TRA Party Representative reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of any member of the Company Group by a Taxing Authority
the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the rights and obligations of the TRA Parties’ under this Agreement, and shall provide to the TRA Party Representative reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the
Corporation and its advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit. 
 Section 6.2 Consistency. The
Corporation and the TRA Parties agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including U.S. and Canadian federal, state, provincial, local and other non-U.S. Tax purposes and financial reporting
purposes, all Tax-related items (including each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporation in any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporation
under this Agreement unless otherwise required by law. 
 Section 6.3 Cooperation. Each of the
Corporation and the TRA Party Representative 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 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 Corporation shall reimburse the TRA Party Representative for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section; provided that, the TRA Party Representative shall not be
required to provide any confidential or proprietary information (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the TRA Party Representative) to the Corporation.

any of their respective Affiliates shall have any claims, obligations, liabilities, causes of action or recourse that may be based upon in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or
the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or 

  
 19 













 
warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement) or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement against, and no liability of any nature in
respect of the obligations of any party under this Agreement shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by, any Person who is not a party hereto, including any past, present or future Affiliate, owner, manager, member, general or
limited partner, director, officer, employee, agent, advisor or representative of, or financial advisor or lender to, any party hereto or any past, present or future Affiliate, owner, manager, member, general or limited partner, director, officer,
employee, agent, advisor or representative of, or financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Non-Party Affiliates”), whether pursuant to any legal action, the
enforcement of any assessment or by virtue of any applicable law, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each party hereto hereby waives and releases all such claims, obligations, liabilities, causes of action or recourse against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be
available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a party hereto or otherwise impose liability of a party hereto on any Non-Party Affiliate, whether granted by
statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein
shall limit or otherwise restrict the ability of any Person that is party to this Agreement to seek recourse against a party to this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. 

Section 7.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart to this Agreement. 
 Section 7.4 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. 
 Section 7.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. 
 Section 7.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, all other provisions of this Agreement
shall 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 hereto. Upon such determination that any term or


  
 20 













 
other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, 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 7.7 Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers. 

(a) No TRA Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement in whole or in part to any Person without the prior written consent of the
TRA Party Representative. Each TRA Party that receives such consent may assign any of its rights under this Agreement in whole or in part so long as the transferee has executed and delivered or, in connection with such transfer, executes and
delivers to the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative a joinder to this Agreement, in the form of Exhibit A or such other form mutually agreed by the parties, agreeing to become such TRA Party for all purposes of this Agreement, except as
otherwise provided in such joinder, provided that any TRA Party holding less than 10% of the rights to payment under this Agreement may only assign its rights under this agreement in whole and not in part pursuant to this Section 7.7(a).

 (b) The transferee and transferor of any assignment permitted under this Section 7.7 shall provide the Corporation and the TRA Party
Representative a notice (which may be by PDF) of the assignment, which notice must clearly identify the name of the transferor and transferee, the Ownership Percentage being transferred, and contact information for the transferee at least three
(3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment, or attempted assignment in violation of this Agreement, including any failure of a purported transferee to enter into a joinder to this Agreement pursuant to
Section 7.7(a), shall be null and void, and shall not bind or be recognized by the Corporation or the TRA Party Representative. The Corporation shall maintain at its offices a copy of each notice of assignment received pursuant to this
Section 7.7(b) and upon receipt of each such notice shall update Schedule A to reflect such assignment. Schedule A, as may be amended from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.7(b), shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
the Company and the TRA Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded on Schedule A pursuant to the terms hereof as a TRA Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. 

(c) No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver is approved in writing by the Corporation and the
TRA Party Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including this Section 7.7), the execution and delivery of a joinder to this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.7(a) shall not require the consent of the
Corporation. 
 (d) 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 Corporation shall require and 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 Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would
be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

  
 21 













 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the TRA Party Representative shall be
permitted and authorized to sell, transfer and assign all of the rights and benefits of the TRA Parties under this Agreement (including the right to receive Tax Benefit Payments and Early Termination Payments) to either (i) the Company (with
the prior written approval of a majority of the Independent Directors) or (ii) a third party that is not an Affiliate of the TRA Party Representative. In the event of such a sale, all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement of the TRA
Parties immediately prior to such sale (including the right to receive Tax Benefit Payments and Early Termination Payments) shall automatically terminate and convert into the right for each such TRA Party to receive its proportionate share (based on
such TRA Party’s Ownership Percentage) of the proceeds of such sale, net of any payment to the TRA Party Representative pursuant to the following sentence. The TRA Party Representative shall be entitled to receive out of the proceeds of such
sale any previously unreimbursed costs and expenses of the TRA Party Representative described in Section 7.15(b). Each TRA Party hereby agrees to take such actions and execute such instruments and agreements as are required by the TRA Party
Representative or such transferee in order to effectuate any sale, transfer and assignment pursuant to this Section 7.7(e). 

Section 7.8 Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Tax Receivable Agreement, as the
same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation
of this Agreement. No party hereto, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing or enforcing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their
fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of its authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary
herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph,
subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the
word “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to
which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; and (vi) reference to “dollar,” “dollars” or “$” shall be to the lawful currency of the United States. 

Section 7.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties to this Agreement each hereby waive, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (i) arising under this Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in
respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise. The parties to this Agreement each hereby agree and consent that any
such claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties to this Agreement may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the
parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury. 

  
 22 













 Section 7.10 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties hereto (i) submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or
proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party hereto agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any
action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 7.1. Nothing in this
Section 7.10, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or
proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
 
Section 7.11 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Section 2.3, 3.1 or 4.2 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 Corporation and the TRA Party Representative agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that
employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Company Group or the TRA Party Representative or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative 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, the Early Termination Schedule or Amended Schedules thereof within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an Amended Schedule thereof 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 applicable member of the Company Group, 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
Corporation except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporation and the TRA Party Representative shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert adopts the TRA Party Representative’s position, in
which case the Corporation shall reimburse the TRA Party Representative for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert
adopts the 

  
 23 













 
Corporation’s position, in which case the TRA Party Representative shall reimburse the Corporation 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 7.11 shall
be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute, and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.11 shall be final and binding on the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative and may
be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. 
 Section 7.12 Withholding. If the Corporation is required by law to
deduct, withhold or make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any TRA Party as a result of entering this Agreement or making any payment pursuant to this Agreement (such amounts, “Withheld Amounts”), the Corporation may
deduct or withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. All Withheld Amounts in respect of a TRA Party shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding payment or payments which would otherwise have been
made to such TRA Party (or such TRA Party’s successor or assignee, if applicable) pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that any payment pursuant to this Agreement is so reduced by the Corporation, the applicable TRA Party (or such TRA
Party’s successor or assignee, if applicable) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having received such payment unreduced by such Withheld Amounts. This Section 7.12 shall survive any transfer or assignment by a TRA
Party. 
 Section 7.13 Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate
Assets. 
 (a) If the Corporation 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 comparable section of U.S. federal, state or local tax 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 the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries transfers one or more assets to a Person that is not part of the Company Group in a non-taxable transaction or for less than fair market value, 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 the Company Group shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such transfer. The consideration deemed to be received by such
entity shall be equal to the gross fair market value of the transferred asset. For purposes of this Section 7.13, 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. 
 (c) If any Subsidiary of the Corporation ceases to be a Subsidiary of the
Corporation at any time, the transaction or event that causes such change shall be treated as a Divestiture of such Subsidiary for purposes of calculating the amount of any payments under this Agreement. 

  
 24 













 Section 7.14 Confidentiality. 

(a) The TRA Parties and each of their assignees acknowledge and agree that the information of the Company Group is confidential and, except in
the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Company Group 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 Company Group and its Affiliates and successors learned by the TRA Parties heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.14 shall not apply to (i) any
information that has been made publicly available by the Company Group or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of such 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 a 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. 
 (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 7.14, the Corporation shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.14 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 Corporation 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 7.15 Appointment of the TRA Party Representative. 

(a) Without further action of any of the Corporation, the TRA Party Representative or any TRA Party, and as partial consideration of the
benefits conferred by this Agreement, the TRA Party Representative is hereby irrevocably appointed, with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of each TRA Party with respect to the taking by the TRA Party Representative of
any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the TRA Party Representative under this Agreement. The power of attorney granted herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and may be delegated by
the TRA Party Representative. No bond shall be required of the TRA Party Representative, and the TRA Party Representative shall receive no compensation for its services. The TRA Party Representative may appoint a successor TRA Party Representative
by identifying such TRA Party Representative in writing to the Corporation. 
 (b) Upon written notice to the Corporation from the TRA Party
Representative of documented costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants) incurred by the TRA Party Representative in connection with the performance of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the
taking of any and all actions in connection therewith (including, without duplication of any payments to the TRA Party Representative in reimbursement of its costs and expenses pursuant to Section 7.7(e), in connection with any transaction
described in Section 7.7(e) or which, if consummated, would be described in Section 7.7(e)), the Corporation shall reduce any future payments (if any) due to the 

  
 25 













 
TRA Parties hereunder pro rata (based on their respective Ownership Percentages) by the amount of such expenses which it shall instead remit directly to the TRA Party Representative. In
connection with the performance of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the taking of any and all actions in connection therewith, the TRA Party Representative shall not be required to expend any of its own funds (though, for the
avoidance of doubt, it may do so at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion). 
 (c) The TRA Party Representative shall not be
liable to any TRA Party for any act of the TRA Party Representative arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, except to the extent any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or
expense is actually incurred by such TRA Party as a proximate result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the TRA Party Representative (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel
shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith and reasonable judgment). The TRA Party Representative shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified by the TRA Parties (on a several but not joint basis) for, any liability, loss, damage, penalty
or fine incurred by the TRA Party Representative (and any cost or expense incurred by the TRA Party Representative in connection therewith and herewith and not previously reimbursed pursuant to subsection (b) above) arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, except to the extent that any such liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense is the proximate result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the TRA Party Representative (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith and reasonable judgment); provided, however, in no
event shall any TRA Party be obligated to indemnify the TRA Party Representative hereunder for any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense to the extent (and only to the extent) that the aggregate amount of all liabilities, losses,
damages, penalties, fines, costs and expenses indemnified by such TRA Party hereunder is or would be in excess of the aggregate payments under this Agreement actually remitted to such TRA Party. Each TRA Party’s receipt of any and all benefits
to which such TRA Party is entitled under this Agreement, if any, is conditioned upon and subject to such TRA Party’s acceptance of all obligations, including the obligations of this Section 7.15(c), applicable to such TRA Party under this
Agreement. 
 (d) Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Party Representative shall constitute a decision of TRA Parties and
shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each TRA Party, and the Corporation may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Party Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each TRA Party. The
Corporation is hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by the Corporation in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Party Representative.

Form of Joinder 
 This
JOINDER (this “Joinder”) to the Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of [•], by and among the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative (as defined therein) (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”), dated as of
