This TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT (as amended from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of [•], 2021, is hereby entered
into by and among Xponential Fitness, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporate Taxpayer”), Xponential Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OpCo”), each of the undersigned parties
and each of the other persons from time to time party hereto (each a “TRA Party” and together the “TRA Parties”). 

WHEREAS, OpCo is treated as a partnership, and the Corporate Taxpayer is classified as an association taxable as a corporation, in each case
for U.S. federal income tax purposes; 
 WHEREAS, following certain reorganization transactions undertaken prior to and in connection with
the IPO (as defined below), including a recapitalization of all of the membership interests in OpCo into one class of common units (the “Common Units”), certain TRA Parties hold Common Units; 

WHEREAS, following the reorganization transactions, the Corporate Taxpayer will be the managing member of OpCo and will hold Common Units;

 WHEREAS, each of Rumble Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and H&W Investco Blocker II LP, a Delaware limited
partnership, (each a “Blocker Company” and collectively, the “Blocker Companies”) is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and holds Common Units; 

WHEREAS, each Blocker Company will be contributed to and then merge with and into the Corporate Taxpayer (each, a “Merger”),
and as a result of such Merger, the Corporate Taxpayer will be entitled to utilize certain Blocker Tax Attributes attributable to such Blocker Company; 

WHEREAS, in connection with the reorganization transaction and the IPO, each of H&W Investco, LP and Lag Fit, Inc. will transfer a portion
of its membership interests in OpCo (or H&W Franchise Holdings LLC, the predecessor to OpCo) to the Corporate Taxpayer in exchange for Class A Common Stock and[, in the case of H&W Investco, LP,] cash (each an “IPO
Contribution”); 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the reorganization transactions and the IPO, certain TRA Parties will transfer, or
be treated for U.S. tax purposes as having transferred, a portion of their membership interests in OpCo (or H&W Franchise Holdings LLC, the predecessor to OpCo) to the Corporate Taxpayer in exchange for cash (each an “IPO

 WHEREAS, on and after the date hereof, pursuant to Section 10.01 of the LLC Agreement,
certain TRA Parties have the right, in their sole discretion, from time to time to require OpCo to redeem (a “Redemption”) all or a portion of such TRA Party’s Common Units for cash or, at the Corporate Taxpayer’s option,
shares of Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Corporate Taxpayer (the “Class A Common Stock”); provided that, pursuant to Section 10.03 of the LLC Agreement and at the election
of the Corporate Taxpayer, the Corporate Taxpayer may effect a direct exchange of such cash or shares of Class A Common Stock for such Common Units (a “Direct Exchange,” and together with a Redemption, each IPO Contribution and
each IPO Exchange, an “Exchange”); 
 WHEREAS, OpCo and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries treated as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for each Taxable Year (as defined below) in which an Exchange
occurs, which elections are intended generally to result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets owned by OpCo (which adjustment will be allocable wholly or, in the case of an adjustment under Section 734(b) of the Code, in part, to the
Corporate Taxpayer) at the time of an Exchange (such time, the “Exchange Date”) by reason of such Exchange and at the time of receipt of certain payments under this Agreement; 

WHEREAS, the income, gain, loss, expense and other Tax (as defined below) items of the Corporate Taxpayer may be affected by the Tax
Attributes (as defined below); and 
 WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement desire to make certain arrangements with respect to the effect
of the Tax Attributes on the actual liability for Taxes of the Corporate Taxpayer. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and
the respective covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 

Section 1.01 Definitions. 

(a) The following terms shall have the following meanings for the purposes of this Agreement: 

“Actual Tax Liability” means, with respect to any Taxable Year, the actual liability for U.S. federal, state and local income
Taxes of (i) the Corporate Taxpayer and (ii) without duplication, OpCo, but only with respect to Taxes imposed on OpCo and allocable to the Corporate Taxpayer for such Taxable Year. 

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, such Person. 
 “Agreed Rate” means a per
annum rate of [LIBOR plus 100 basis points]. 

  
 2 













 “Attributable” means, with respect to any applicable TRA Party, the portion
of any Realized Tax Benefit (or Realized Tax Detriment) of the Corporate Taxpayer that is derived from Tax Attributes and Imputed Interest that is attributable to (i) the Common Units (or other membership interests) acquired or treated as
acquired by the Corporate Taxpayer in an Exchange or (ii) the Blocker Company acquired in a Merger, as applicable, undertaken by or with respect to such TRA Party. 

“Basis Adjustment” means the adjustment to the Tax basis of a Reference Asset under Sections 732, 755 and 1012 of the Code
and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (in situations where, as a result of one or more Exchanges, OpCo becomes an entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or under Sections 734(b),
743(b) and 755 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (in situations where, following an Exchange, OpCo remains in existence as an entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and, in each case, comparable sections of state
and local tax laws, as a result of (i) an Exchange and (ii) the payments made pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Basis Adjustment resulting from an Exchange of one or more Common Units shall be
determined without regard to any Pre-Exchange Transfer of such Common Units and as if any such Pre-Exchange Transfer had not occurred. 

A “Beneficial Owner” of a security is a Person who directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding,
relationship or otherwise, has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security and/or (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of,
such security. 
 “Blended Rate” means, with respect to any Taxable Year, the sum of the effective rates of Tax imposed on
the aggregate net income of the Corporate Taxpayer in each state or local jurisdiction in which the Corporate Taxpayer files Tax Returns for such Taxable Year, with the maximum effective rate in any state or local jurisdiction being equal to the
product of: (i) the apportionment factor on the income or franchise Tax Return filed by the Corporate Taxpayer in such jurisdiction for such Taxable Year, and (ii) the maximum applicable corporate tax rate in effect in such jurisdiction in
such Taxable Year. As an illustration of the calculation of Blended Rate for a Taxable Year, if the Corporate Taxpayer solely files Tax Returns in State 1 and State 2 in a Taxable Year, the maximum applicable corporate tax rates in effect in such
states in such Taxable Year are 6% and 5%, respectively and the apportionment factors for such states in such Taxable Year are 60% and 40%, respectively, then the Blended Rate for such Taxable Year is equal to 5.6% (i.e., 6% times 60% plus 5% times
40%). 
 “Blocker Company” is defined in the recitals to this Agreement. 

“Blocker Tax Attributes” means, with respect to a TRA Party, (i) the Blocker Transferred Basis and (ii) the Pre-IPO NOLs with respect to such TRA Party.

respect to a TRA Party, the share of Tax basis of the Reference Assets that are amortizable under Section 197 of the Code or that are otherwise reported as amortizable or depreciable on IRS Form 4562 for U.S. federal income Tax purposes
attributable to the Common Units (or other membership interests) acquired by the Corporate Taxpayer from the Blocker Company in a Merger. 

  
 3 













 “Board” means the board of directors of the Corporate Taxpayer.

(i) any Person or any group of Persons acting together which would constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or any successor provisions thereto, excluding (x) a corporation or other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Corporate Taxpayer in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of stock in the Corporate Taxpayer and (y) any Member (as defined in the LLC Agreement) or any of its Affiliates who is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporate Taxpayer representing more
than 50% of the combined voting power of the Corporate Taxpayer’s then outstanding voting securities; or 
 (ii) the following
individuals cease to constitute a majority of the number of directors of the Corporate Taxpayer then serving: individuals who, on the IPO Date, constitute the Board and any new director whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for
election by the Corporate Taxpayer’s shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the IPO Date or whose appointment, election or nomination for
election was previously so approved or recommended by the directors referred to in this clause (ii); or 
 (iii) there is consummated a
merger or consolidation of the Corporate Taxpayer with any other corporation or other entity, and, immediately after the consummation of such merger or consolidation, either (x) the Board immediately prior to the merger or consolidation does

complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporate Taxpayer or there is consummated an agreement or series of related agreements for the sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by the Corporate Taxpayer of all or substantially all of
the Corporate Taxpayer’s assets, other than such sale or other disposition by the Corporate Taxpayer of all or substantially all of the Corporate Taxpayer’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of which are owned by shareholders of the Corporate Taxpayer in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Corporate Taxpayer immediately prior to such sale.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to clause (ii) and clause (iii)(x) above, a
“Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the shares of the Corporate Taxpayer
immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in, and own substantially all of the shares of, an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the

attributable to or (without duplication) available for use because of the prior use of any of the Tax Attributes. 
 “Hypothetical

any) of LIBOR has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. loan market in U.S. dollars, then the Corporate Taxpayer shall (as determined by the
Corporate Taxpayer to be consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace LIBOR for all
purposes under this Agreement. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement shall be amended solely with the consent of the Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the

quotation system on which such Class A Common Stock is then traded or listed, as reported by the Wall Street Journal; provided, further, that if the Class A Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange or
interdealer quotation system, the Market Value shall mean the cash consideration paid for Class A Common Stock, or the fair market value of the other property delivered for Class A Common Stock, as determined by the Board in good faith..

Reference Asset at the time of a Merger that is amortizable under Section 197 of the Code or that is otherwise reported as amortizable or depreciable on IRS Form 4562 for United States federal income Tax purposes, the Tax basis that such
Reference Asset would have had if the Blocker Transferred Basis at the time of such Merger was equal to zero.

“Pre-IPO NOLs” means, without duplication, the net operating losses, capital losses,
disallowed interest expense carryforwards under Section 163(j) of the Code, and credit carryforwards of the Blocker Companies relating to taxable periods ending on or prior to the IPO Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Pre-IPO NOLs” shall not include any Tax attribute of a Blocker Company that is used to offset Taxes of such Blocker Company, if such offset Taxes are attributable to taxable periods (or a portion thereof)
ending on or prior to the date of the applicable Merger. 
 “Realized Tax Benefit” means, for a Taxable Year, the excess,
if any, of the Hypothetical Tax Liability over the Actual Tax Liability. If all or a portion of the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year arises as a result of an audit or similar proceeding by a Taxing Authority of any Taxable Year, such
liability shall not be included in determining the Realized Tax Benefit unless and until there has been a Determination with respect to such Actual Tax Liability. 

“Realized Tax Detriment” means, for a Taxable Year, the excess, if any, of the Actual Tax Liability over the Hypothetical Tax

profits, and any interest related to such Tax.

(including corresponding provisions and succeeding provisions) as in effect for the relevant taxable period. 
 “Valuation
Assumptions” shall mean, as of an Early Termination Date, the assumptions that (1) in each Taxable Year ending on or after such Early Termination Date, the Corporate Taxpayer will have taxable income sufficient to fully utilize the
deductions arising from the Tax Attributes during such Taxable Year or future Taxable Years (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest that would result from future Tax Benefit Payments that would be paid in
accordance with the Valuation Assumptions) in which such deductions would become available, (2) the U.S. federal income tax rates and state and local income tax rates that will be in effect for each such Taxable Year will be those specified for
each such Taxable Year by the Code and other law as in effect on the Early Termination Date, and Tax Attributes will be deemed to offset income of the Corporate Taxpayer at the highest marginal federal and relevant state and local income tax rates
applicable to a corporation in such Taxable Year (and the Blended Rate will be calculated based on such rates and the apportionment factors applicable in such Taxable Year), (3) any Pre-IPO NOLs or loss or
credit carryovers generated by deductions arising from Tax Attributes that are available as of such Early Termination Date will be utilized by the Corporate Taxpayer on a pro rata basis from the 

  
 9 













 
Early Termination Date through the scheduled expiration date thereof or, if there is no scheduled expiration date, the twentieth anniversary of the generation of such Pre-IPO NOLs or loss or credit carryovers, (4) any non-amortizable assets (other than Subsidiary Stock) will be disposed of on the fifteenth anniversary of the applicable
Exchange (in the case of Basis Adjustments or Existing Basis) or the IPO Date (in the case of Blocker Transferred Basis) for an amount sufficient to fully utilize the adjusted basis of such assets, including any adjustments under Section 734
and 743 of the Code (and, in each case, the comparable sections of U.S. state and local law); provided, that in the event of a Change of Control that includes the sale of such asset (or the sale of equity interests in a partnership or
disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that directly or indirectly owns such asset), such non-amortizable assets shall be deemed disposed of at the time of the direct or indirect sale of the
relevant asset in such Change of Control (if earlier than such fifteenth anniversary) for such price, (5) any Subsidiary Stock will be deemed never to be disposed of and (6) if, at the Early Termination Date, there are Common Units that
have not been Exchanged, then each such Common Unit shall be deemed to be Exchanged for the product of (i) the Market Value of the Class A Common Stock on the Early Termination Date and (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common
Stock that would be transferred in respect of such Common Unit if the Exchange occurred on the Early Termination Date.

 ARTICLE II 

DETERMINATION OF REALIZED TAX BENEFIT 

Section 2.01 Basis Adjustment. Within 150 calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporate
Taxpayer for each relevant Taxable Year, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to each TRA Party a schedule (the “Attribute Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail necessary to perform the calculations required by this Agreement,
(i) the amount of Blocker Tax Attributes available to the Corporate Taxpayer in such Taxable Year and the period (or periods) over which such Pre-IPO NOLs are usable, (ii) the Non-Stepped Up Tax Basis of the Reference Assets as of each applicable Exchange Date, if any, (iii) the Basis Adjustments with respect to the Reference Assets as a result of each Exchange effected in such
Taxable Year, calculated (x) in the aggregate, and (y) solely with respect to Exchanges by such TRA Party, (iv) the period (or periods) over which the Reference Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable and (v) the period (or
periods) over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as Imputed
Interest.

 Section 2.02 Realized Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment. 

(a) Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 150 calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporate Taxpayer
for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or a Realized Tax Detriment Attributable to a TRA Party, the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to such TRA Party a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized
Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment and the portion Attributable to such TRA Party for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.03(a) and may be amended
as provided in Section 2.03(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(b)).
 (b) Applicable Principles. The
Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the Actual Tax Liability of the Corporate Taxpayer for such Taxable Year attributable to the Tax Attributes, determined using a
“with and without” methodology and, for the avoidance of doubt, is not intended to take into account, and shall be interpreted in a manner that avoids taking into account, any Tax Attribute more than once. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Actual Tax Liability will take into account the deduction of the portion of the Tax Benefit Payment that must be accounted for as interest under the Code based upon the characterization of Tax Benefit Payments as additional consideration payable by
the Corporate Taxpayer for the Common Units (or other membership interests) acquired or treated as acquired in an Exchange. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to any Tax Attribute shall be considered to be subject to the rules of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local income and franchise tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or
carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to a Tax Attribute and another portion that is not, such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology. The parties agree
that (i) all Tax Benefit Payments (other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code) made to TRA Parties that transferred shares of a Blocker Company to the Corporate Taxpayer will be treated as
non-qualifying property or money received in the Merger for purposes of Sections 356 of the Code, (ii) all Tax Benefit Payments (other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code) made to the
transferors in respect of the Common Units (or other membership interests) contributed to the Corporate Taxpayer in an IPO Contribution will be treated as non-qualify property or money received in such IPO
Contribution for purposes of Section 351 of the Code (and will give rise to further Basis Adjustments to Reference Assets for the Corporate Taxpayer in the year of payment, and as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments will be incorporated
into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate), and (iii) all Tax Benefit Payments made to TRA Parties other than with respect to the transfers described in clauses (i) and (ii) will be treated as
subsequent upward purchase price adjustments in respect of the relevant Exchange that give rise to further Basis Adjustments to Reference Assets for the Corporate Taxpayer in the year of payment, and as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments
will be incorporated into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate. 
 Section 2.03
Procedures, Amendments. 
 (a) Procedure. Every time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to a TRA Party an applicable Schedule
under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b) and any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporate Taxpayer shall also (x) deliver to such TRA Party schedules
and work papers, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or requested by such TRA Party, providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and (y) allow such TRA Party 

  
 12 













 
reasonable access to the appropriate representatives at the Corporate Taxpayer, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer, in connection with a review of such Schedule. Without limiting the
application of the preceding sentence, each time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to a TRA Party a Tax Benefit Schedule, in addition to the Tax Benefit Schedule duly completed, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to such TRA Party the relevant
Corporate Taxpayer Return, the reasonably detailed calculation by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Hypothetical Tax Liability, the reasonably detailed calculation by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Actual Tax Liability, as well as any other work papers
as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or requested by such TRA Party, provided that the Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to redact any information that it reasonably believes is unnecessary for purposes of determining the items in the
applicable Schedule or amendment thereto. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on the applicable TRA Party and the Corporate Taxpayer thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which the TRA Party has
received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless such TRA Party (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving an applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material
objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of any Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or
amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the applicable TRA Party and the Corporate Taxpayer for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice
within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of an Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the applicable TRA Party shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.09 (the
“Reconciliation Procedures”). 
 (b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended
from time to time by the Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a
Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided to the applicable TRA Party, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized
Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable
to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year, or (vi) to adjust the Attribute Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”). The Corporate Taxpayer
shall provide an Amended Schedule to each relevant TRA Party within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence of an event referenced in clauses (i) through (vi) of the preceding sentence. 

ARTICLE III 
 TAX
BENEFIT PAYMENTS 
 Section 3.01 Payments. 

(a) Within five (5) Business Days after the Tax Benefit Schedule with respect to a Taxable Year delivered to any TRA Party becomes final
in accordance with Section 

  
 13 













 
2.03(a), the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to such TRA Party for such Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment in the amount determined pursuant to Section 3.01(b). Each such Tax Benefit
Payment to a TRA Party (including any Advance Payment) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Party to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate
Taxpayer and such TRA Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated Tax payments, including federal estimated income tax payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, any TRA Party may elect with respect to any Exchange to limit the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments made to such TRA Party in respect of any such Exchange to a specified percentage of the amount equal to the sum of (A) the cash,
excluding any Tax Benefit Payments, and (B) the Market Value of the Class A Shares received by such TRA Party on such Exchange (or such other limitation selected by the TRA Party and consented to by the Corporate Taxpayer, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld). The TRA Party shall exercise its rights under the preceding sentence by notifying the Corporate Taxpayer in writing of its desire to impose such a limit and the specified percentage (or such other limitation
selected by the TRA Party) and such other details as may be necessary (including whether such limit includes the Imputed Interest in respect of any such Exchange) in such manner and at such time (but in no event later than the date of any such
Exchange) as reasonably directed by the Corporate Taxpayer; provided, however, that, in the absence of such direction, the TRA Party shall give such written notice in the same manner as is required by Section 7.01 of this
Agreement contemporaneously with TRA Party’s notice to the Corporate Taxpayer of the applicable Exchange. 
 (b) A “Tax
Benefit Payment” means, with respect to a TRA Party, an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of the amount of the Net Tax Benefit Attributable to such TRA Party and the related Interest Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, for
Tax purposes, the Interest Amount shall not be treated as interest but instead shall be treated as additional consideration in the applicable transaction, unless otherwise required by law. Subject to Section 3.03(a), 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
Tax Benefit Payments previously made under this Section 3.01 (excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts) and, without duplication, any Advance Payments previously made under this Section 3.01 (excluding any portion of Advance
Payments in respect of anticipated Interest Amounts); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that such TRA Party shall not be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Interest Amount”
shall equal the interest on the amount of the Net Tax Benefit Attributable to such TRA Party calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporate Taxpayer Return with respect to Taxes for such Taxable Year
until the Payment Date of the applicable Tax Benefit Payment, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Advance Payments. “Advance Payments” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means the payments made by the Corporate Taxpayer
to such TRA Party as an advance of such TRA Party’s anticipated Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year (which, if made, shall be treated as Tax Benefit Payments for purposes of this Agreement). The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled at its
option to make Advance Payments; provided that, if the Corporate Taxpayer makes Advance Payments, it shall make Advance Payments to all parties eligible to receive payments under this Agreement with respect to a particular Taxable Year in proportion
to their respective amount of anticipated payments under this Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year. 

  
 14 













 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments shall be calculated by utilizing Valuation Assumptions (1), (3),
(4) and (5), substituting in each case the terms “the closing date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.” 

Section 3.02 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment
of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to ensure such intentions are realized. 

Section 3.03 Pro Rata Payments. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.01 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate Tax benefit of the Corporate
Taxpayer’s reduction in Tax liability as a result of the Tax Attributes under this Agreement is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize available deductions
and other attributes, the limitation on the Tax benefit for the Corporate Taxpayer shall be allocated among the TRA Parties in proportion to the respective amounts of Tax Benefit Payments that would have been determined under this Agreement if the
Corporate Taxpayer had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation; provided, that for purposes of allocating among the TRA Parties the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments under this Agreement with respect to any Taxable Year,
the operation of this Section 3.03(a) with respect to any prior Taxable Year shall be taken into account, it being the intention of the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Parties for each TRA Party to receive, in the aggregate, Tax Benefit Payments
in proportion to the aggregate Net Tax Benefits Attributable to such TRA Party had this Section 3.03(a) never operated. 
 (b) After
taking into account Section 3.03(a), if for any reason the Corporate Taxpayer does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due under this Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then the Corporate
Taxpayer and the TRA Parties agree that (i) the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay the same proportion of each Tax Benefit Payment due under this Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year, without favoring one obligation over the other, and
(ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been made in full. 

(c) To the extent the Corporate Taxpayer makes a payment to a TRA Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section 3.01(a) of
this Agreement (taking into account Section 3.03(a) and (b), but excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts) in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to such TRA Party in respect of such Taxable Year, then
(i) such TRA Party shall not receive further payments under Section 3.01(a) until such TRA Party has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (ii) the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay the amount of such TRA Party’s
foregone payments to the other TRA Parties in a manner such that each of the other TRA Parties, to the maximum extent possible, shall have received aggregate payments under Section 3.01(a) of this Agreement (excluding payments attributable to
Interest Amounts) in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess payment to such TRA Party. 

  
 15 













 ARTICLE IV 

TERMINATION 

Section 4.01 Termination, Early Termination and Breach of Agreement. 

(a) Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c), this Agreement will terminate when there is no
further potential for a Tax Benefit Payment pursuant to this Agreement. Tax Benefit Payments under this Agreement are not conditioned on any TRA Party retaining an interest in the Corporate Taxpayer or OpCo (or any successor thereto). 

(b) The Corporate Taxpayer may terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable to the TRA Parties and with respect to all of the
Common Units (or other membership interests) held (or previously held and Exchanged) by all TRA Parties at any time by paying to each TRA Party the Early Termination Payment in respect of such TRA Party; provided, however, that this
Agreement shall only terminate pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) upon the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by all TRA Parties; and provided, further, that the Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice to exercise its
termination rights under this Section 4.01(b) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporate Taxpayer in accordance with this Section 4.01(b),
neither the TRA Parties nor the Corporate Taxpayer shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any (1) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and a TRA Party as due and payable but unpaid as
of the Early Termination Notice and (2) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (2) is included in the Early
Termination Payment). If an Exchange occurs after the Corporate Taxpayer makes the Early Termination Payment pursuant to this Section 4.01(b), the Corporate Taxpayer shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such
Exchange. 
 (c) In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a
result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then
all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, 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 Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and any of the TRA Parties as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach, and
(3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach; provided that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.02 shall apply with respect to the determination of the amount
payable by the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches this Agreement, each TRA Party shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses
(1), (2) and (3) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this 

  
 16 













 
Agreement within three] months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will
not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall
not be a breach of this Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer fails to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement when due to the extent the Corporate Taxpayer has insufficient funds to make such payment despite using reasonable best efforts to
obtain funds to make such payment (including by causing OpCo or any other Subsidiaries to distribute or lend funds for such payment); provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.02 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 debt agreements to which the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, in which case Section 5.02 shall apply, but the
Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate); provided, further, that the Corporate Taxpayer shall promptly (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days), pay all such unpaid payments, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, immediately following such time that the Corporate Taxpayer has, and to the extent the Corporate Taxpayer has, sufficient funds to make such payment, and the failure of the Corporate Taxpayer to do so shall constitute a breach of
this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all cash and cash equivalents used or to be used to pay dividends by, or repurchase equity securities of, the Corporate Taxpayer shall be deemed to be funds sufficient and available to pay such unpaid
payments, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 
 Section 4.02 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporate
Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.01(b) above, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to each TRA Party notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a
schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporate Taxpayer’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment for such TRA Party. The Early
Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on such TRA Party thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which such TRA Party has received such Schedule or amendment thereto unless such TRA Party (i) within thirty
(30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”) or (ii) provides a
written waiver of such right of a Material Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer (such thirty
(30) calendar day date as modified, if at all, by clauses (i) or (ii), the “Early Termination Effective Date”). If the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues
raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

Section 4.03 Payment upon Early Termination. 

(a) Within three (3) Business Days after the Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to each TRA Party an
amount equal to the Early Termination Payment in respect of such TRA Party. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by such TRA Party or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate
Taxpayer and such TRA Party. 

  
 17 













 (b) “Early Termination Payment” in respect of a TRA Party shall equal the
present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Effective Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of such TRA Party that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer beginning from the Early
Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.
 ARTICLE V 

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS 

Section 5.01 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or
Early Termination Payment required to be made by the Corporate Taxpayer to any TRA Party 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 Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporate Taxpayer
that are not Senior Obligations.
 Section 5.02 Late Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer. The amount of all or any portion of any
Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment not made to the applicable TRA Party when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which
such Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment was due and payable, subject to Section 4.01(c). 
 ARTICLE VI 

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION 

Section 6.01 Participation in the Corporate Taxpayer’s and OpCo’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 OpCo, including the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and
defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer shall notify a TRA Party of, and keep such TRA Party reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the
Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the rights and obligations of such TRA Party under this Agreement, and shall provide to such TRA Party reasonable opportunity to provide
information and other input (at such TRA Party’s own expense) to the Corporate Taxpayer, OpCo and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of (but, for the avoidance of doubt such TRA Party may not control) any such portion of such
audit; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the LLC Agreement. 

  
 18 













 Section 6.02 Consistency. The Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Parties agree to
report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including federal, state and local Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including the Tax Attributes and each Tax Benefit
Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporate Taxpayer in any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement unless otherwise required by law. Any dispute as to required Tax or
financial reporting shall be subject to Section 7.09. 
 Section 6.03 Cooperation. Each of the Corporate Taxpayer and each
TRA Party 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 Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse the applicable TRA Party for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.03. 

ARTICLE VII

 Section 7.02 Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The
Corporate Taxpayer 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 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. 

(b) A TRA Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Person as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in
connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form of Exhibit A, agreeing to become a “TRA Party” for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder; provided,
that a TRA Party’s rights under this Agreement shall be assignable by such TRA Party under the procedure in this Section 7.02(b) regardless of whether such TRA Party continues to hold any interests in OpCo or the Corporate Taxpayer or has
fully transferred any such interests. 
 (c) OpCo shall have the power and authority (but not the obligation) to permit any Person who
becomes a member of OpCo to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement promptly upon acquisition of Common Units by such Person, and such Person shall be treated as a “TRA Party” for all purposes of this Agreement. 

Section 7.03 Resolution of Disputes. 

(a) Except for Reconciliation Disputes subject to Section 7.09, any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any
ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity,
scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) (each a “Dispute”) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in Delaware in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the Dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the
appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to the practice of law in the State of Delaware and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any
arbitration proceedings.

  
 20 













 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (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 paragraph (b), each TRA Party (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.03 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 TRA 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 TRA Party of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such TRA Party in any
such action or proceeding. 
 (c) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
OR, IF SUCH COURT DECLINES JURISDICTION, THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE SITTING IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE SITTING IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY
THEREOF, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.03, 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 paragraph (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 the preceding paragraph of this Section 7.03 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same. 

Section 7.04 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with
the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any
right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). 
 Section 7.05
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other [Reorganization Documents] (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede
all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in favor of any Person or other party
hereto.

 Section 7.06 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated 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 a determination, the parties
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 fullest extent possible. 
 Section 7.07 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is
approved in writing by the Corporate Taxpayer and by Persons who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the Early Termination Payments payable to all Persons entitled to Early Termination Payments
under this Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer had exercised its right of early termination on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any Persons pursuant to this
Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided, that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment will have a disproportionate effect on the payments certain Persons will or may receive under the Tax Receivable
Agreements unless all such Persons disproportionately affected consent in writing to such amendment. 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 7.08 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of any other State. 

Section 7.09 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and a TRA Party are unable to resolve a disagreement with
respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.03, 3.01(b), 4.02 and 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a
nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and unless the
Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer or such TRA 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 International Chamber of Commerce
Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Attribute Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter
relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is


  
 22 













 
due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon
resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporate Taxpayer, except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party shall bear
their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert substantially adopts such TRA Party’s position, in which case the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse such TRA Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert substantially adopts the Corporate Taxpayer’s position, in which case such TRA Party shall reimburse the Corporate Taxpayer
for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this
Section 7.09 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA
Party and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
 Section 7.10 Withholding. The Corporate Taxpayer shall
be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporate Taxpayer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state,
local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the
TRA Party in respect of whom such withholding was made. To the extent that any payment to a TRA Party pursuant to this Agreement is not reduced by such deductions or withholdings, such TRA Party shall indemnify the applicable withholding agent for
any amounts imposed by any Taxing Authority together with any costs and expenses related thereto. Each TRA Party shall promptly provide the Corporate Taxpayer, OpCo or other applicable withholding agent with any applicable Tax forms and
certifications (including IRS Form W-9 or the applicable version of IRS Form W-8) reasonably requested, in connection with determining whether any such deductions and
withholdings are required under the Code or any provision of United States state, local or non-U.S. tax law. 

Section 7.11 Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets. 

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

(b) If any entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a
corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with which such entity does not file a consolidated tax return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount
of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such 

  
 23 













 
entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such
entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset. For purposes of this Section 7.11, a transfer of a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and
liabilities of that partnership. 
 Section 7.12 Confidentiality. Section 12.11 (Confidentiality) of the LLC Agreement as
of the date of this Agreement shall apply to any information of the Corporate Taxpayer provided to the TRA Parties and their assignees pursuant to this Agreement. 

Section 7.13 Change in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change
in law, a TRA Party reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this Agreement) recognized by such TRA Party (or direct or indirect equity holders in such TRA
Party) upon an Exchange to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or would have other material adverse tax consequences to the Corporate Taxpayer or
such TRA Party or any direct or indirect owner of a TRA Party, then at the election of such TRA Party and to the extent specified by such TRA Party, this Agreement (i) shall cease to have further effect with respect to such TRA Party,
(ii) shall not apply to an Exchange occurring after a date specified by such TRA Party, or (iii) shall otherwise be amended in a manner determined by such TRA Party; provided, that such amendment shall not result in an increase in
payments under this Agreement to such TRA Party at any time as compared to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due to such TRA Party in the absence of such amendment. 

Section 7.14 Partnership Agreement. This Agreement, to the extent it relates to holders of Common Units (or other membership
interests), shall be treated as part of the partnership agreement of OpCo as described in Section 761(c) of the Code, and Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and
1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.
