and the Actual Tax Liability is a positive number, the Hypothetical Tax Liability shall be deemed to equal zero for purposes of
calculating the amount of the Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year. 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 Detriment unless and until there has been a Determination with respect to

ARTICLE
II

DETERMINATION OF CUMULATIVE REALIZED TAX BENEFIT


 


2.1 Basis Adjustments.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that for all tax reporting purposes (A) the Sale and each Exchange shall be treated as a transfer
or sale, respectively, of Company Common Units by the applicable Beneficiary to Parent and (B) the Sale and each Exchange will
give rise to a Basis Adjustment. The Basis Adjustment with respect to a Reference Asset (or applicable portions thereof, where
the Basis Adjustment exceeds the basis adjustment under Section 732 or 743(b) of the Code) shall be recovered over the applicable
period under applicable Law. Basis Adjustments reflecting Parent’s increased share of the Non-Adjusted Tax Basis in a Reference
Asset shall be determined as of the Exchange Date and shall not be adjusted as a result of future changes to Parent’s ownership
percentage in the Company. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (x) all payments to a Beneficiary with respect to the Sale or
an Exchange pursuant to this Agreement (other than amounts treated as interest under the Code) will be treated as subsequent upward
purchase price adjustments that have the effect of creating additional Basis Adjustments in respect of such Beneficiary in the
year of payment and (y) as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments in respect of such Beneficiary will be incorporated into
the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate under applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt,
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (A) payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment
or as additional consideration described as “other property” in section 356 of the Code in each case to the extent



    	15



    	



    

such payments are treated
as Imputed Interest or are Actual Interest Amounts and (B) payments made to a Blocker Corporation Owner under this Agreement shall
be treated as additional consideration described as “other property” within the meaning of Section 356 of the Code
pursuant to the applicable Blocker Merger.


 


2.2 The Company Section
754 Election. In its capacity as the sole managing member of the Company, Parent will ensure that, on and after the date hereof
and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company and each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries (that is owned
through a chain of pass-through entities) that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have in effect
an election under Section 754 of the Code (and under any similar provisions of applicable U.S. state or local law) for each Taxable
Year.


 


2.3 Exchange Basis
Schedule. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of Parent for each relevant
Taxable Year, Parent shall deliver to the Beneficiary Representative, for the benefit of each Beneficiary, a schedule (the “Basis
Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail as necessary in order to understand the calculations performed under this
Agreement: (a) the Non-Adjusted Tax Basis of the Reference Assets as of each applicable Exchange Date; (b) the Basis Adjustments
with respect to the Reference Assets as a result of the Sale (if effected in such Taxable Year) or the relevant Exchanges effected
in such Taxable Year, calculated solely with respect to Exchanges or the portion of the Sale effected by the applicable Beneficiary;
(c) the period (or periods) over which the Reference Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable; and (d) the period (or periods)
over which each Basis Adjustment described in clause (b) is amortizable and/or depreciable. The Basis Schedule will become final
and binding on the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(a) and may be amended by the Parties pursuant
to the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(b).


 


2.4 Inherited Tax
Attributes.


 


(a) Consequences
of the Blocker Merger. The parties hereto further acknowledge that the Blocker Corporations may have certain tax attributes
at the time of such Blocker Merger to which Parent could inherit in the Blocker Merger under the Code or similar provisions of
U.S. federal, state or local and foreign tax law arising from basis adjustments pursuant to Section 743 of the Code and the regulations
thereunder. For this purpose, the term “Inherited Tax Attributes” with respect to a Blocker Corporation shall
refer to the items of loss or deduction that will arise to the Blocker Corporation or its successor as a result of certain transactions
that occurred prior to the IPO which increased the adjusted basis of property of the Company (or its predecessor) with respect
to the Blocker Corporation (or its predecessor) pursuant to Sections 743(b), 755, 732, or 1012 of the Code; provided that such
items will not constitute an Inherited Tax Attribute until such time as such items are available to be claimed as a loss or deduction
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The parties further acknowledge that, in the event that the Blocker Merger is effected, the
Parent’s ability to utilize an Inherited Tax Attribute to offset its taxable income or to reduce its Tax payments may be
limited under Sections 382, 383 and 384 of the Code or similar provisions of U.S. federal, state or local and foreign tax law (the
“Attribute Limitations”).


 


(b) Inherited Tax
Attribute Schedule Generally. Within 90 calendar days after filing its U.S. federal income Tax Return for the year in which
the Blocker Merger occurred,



    	16



    	



    

Parent shall deliver
to each Blocker Corporation Owner, a schedule (each, an “Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable
detail, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the amount of each Inherited Tax Attribute with respect to the relevant Blocker
Corporation, separately stated to the extent relevant, (ii) the amount of each Attribute Limitation for the Blocker Corporation
Owner, if any, separately stated to the extent relevant, and (iii) the amount of any “net unrealized built-in gain”
or “net unrealized built-in loss” as defined in Section 382(h)(3) of the Code for the relevant Blocker Corporation.
At the time Parent delivers the Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule to the Blocker Corporation Owner, it shall (x) deliver to the
Blocker Corporation Owner supporting schedules and work papers, as determined by the Parent or requested by the Blocker Corporation
Owner, that provide a reasonable level of detail regarding the data and
calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule and a letter from the Advisory
Firm supporting such Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule and (y) allow the Blocker Corporation Owner reasonable access to the appropriate
representatives at Parent, the Company, and the Advisory Firm in connection with its review of such schedule. Each Inherited Tax
Attribute Schedule shall become final and binding on the parties unless the Blocker Corporation Owner, within thirty (30) calendar
days after receiving its respective Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule, provides Parent with notice of a material objection to such
Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule made in good faith and in reasonable detail. If Parent and Blocker Corporation Owner, negotiating
in good faith, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within sixty (60) calendar days after such notice
was delivered to Parent, Parent and Blocker Corporation Owner shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.


 


(c) Amendments to
Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule. Each Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule may be amended from time to time by Parent (i) in connection
with a Determination, (ii) to correct inaccuracies to the original Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule identified after the date of
the Blocker Merger as a result of the receipt of additional information or (iii) to comply with the expert’s determination
under the Reconciliation Procedures. At the time Parent delivers such amended Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule to Blocker Corporation
Owner, it shall (x) deliver to the Blocker Corporation Owner schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the
preparation of the relevant amended Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule and a letter from the Advisory Firm supporting such amended
Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule and (y) allow the Blocker Corporation Owner reasonable access to the appropriate representatives
at Parent, the Company, and the Advisory Firm in connection with its review of such schedule. Parent shall provide an Amended Schedule
to the Blocker Corporation Owner within sixty (60) calendar days of the occurrence of an event referenced in clauses (i) through
(iii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.4(c). Each amended Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule shall become final and binding
on the parties unless the Blocker Corporation Owner, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving such amended Inherited Tax
Attribute Schedule, provides Parent with notice of a material objection to such amended Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule made in
good faith and in reasonable detail. If Parent and Blocker Corporation Owner, negotiating in good faith, are unable to successfully
resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice was delivered to Parent, Parent and
the Blocker Corporation Owner shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.




    	17



    	



    

2.5 Tax Benefit Schedule.


 


(a) Tax Benefit Schedule.
Within ninety (90) calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of Parent for any Taxable Year in which
there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, Parent shall provide to the Beneficiary Representative and each Blocker
Corporation Owner a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment
for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”) with respect to each Beneficiary and each Blocker Corporation
Owner (which shall be prepared consistent with the Share Schedule included on Exhibit A). The Tax Benefit Schedules will become
final and binding on the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(a), and may be amended by the Parties
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(b).


 


(b) Applicable Principles.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, 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 Parent for such Taxable Year attributable to the Basis Adjustments,
Imputed Interest and Extension Rate Interest, and the Inherited Tax Attributes as determined using a “with and without”
methodology described in Section 2.6(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the actual Covered Tax liability will take into account
the deduction of the portion of the Tax Benefit Payment that must be accounted for as Imputed Interest under the Code based upon
the characterization of the Tax Benefit Payment as additional consideration payable by the Company for the Company Common Units
acquired in the Sale or an Exchange, or payable by Parent for the assets acquired pursuant to the Blocker Merger, as the case may
be. Carryovers or carrybacks of any tax item attributable to any Basis Adjustment, Imputed Interest or Extension Rate Interest
or the Inherited Tax Attributes 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 and foreign 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 Covered Tax item includes a portion that is
attributable to the Basis Adjustment, Imputed Interest, or the Inherited Tax Attributes and another portion that is not, such portions
shall be considered to be used in the order determined using such “with and without” methodology. The Parties agree
that all Tax Benefit Payments attributable to the Sale or an Exchange will be treated as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments
that give rise to further Basis Adjustments for Parent beginning in the Taxable Year of payment, and as a result, such additional
Basis Adjustments will be incorporated into such Taxable Year continuing for future Taxable Years until any incremental Basis Adjustment
benefits with respect to a Tax Benefit Payment equals a de minimis amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the treatment of Tax Benefit
Payments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not apply to Tax Benefit Payments attributable to the Blocker Corporation Owner.


 


2.6 Procedures; Amendments.


 


(a) Procedures.
Each time Parent delivers an applicable Schedule to the Beneficiary Representative or a Blocker Corporation Owner under this Agreement,
including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended
Early Termination Schedule delivered pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 4.2, Parent shall also: (x) deliver
supporting schedules and work papers, as determined by Parent or as reasonably requested by the Beneficiary Representative or Blocker
Corporation



    	18



    	



    

Owner, that provide a
reasonable level of detail regarding the data and calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Schedule; (y) deliver
a Parent Letter supporting such Schedule; and (z) allow the Beneficiary Representative and Blocker Corporation Owner and their
respective advisors to have reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives, as determined by Parent or as reasonably
requested by the Beneficiary Representative or Blocker Corporation Owner, at Parent and the Advisory Firm in connection with a
review of such Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Parent shall ensure that any Tax Benefit Schedule
that is delivered to the Beneficiary Representative or Blocker Corporation Owners, along with any supporting schedules and work
papers, provides a reasonably detailed presentation of the calculation of the Actual Tax Liability of Parent for the relevant Taxable
Year (the “with” calculation) and the Hypothetical Tax Liability of Parent for such Taxable Year (the “without”
calculation), and identifies any material assumptions or operating procedures or principles that were used for purposes of such
calculations. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on the Parties thirty (30) calendar days
from the date on which the Beneficiary Representative and the Blocker Corporation Owner first received the applicable Schedule
or amendment thereto unless:


 


(i) the Beneficiary
Representative or any Blocker Corporation Owner within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the applicable Schedule or amendment
thereto, provides Parent with (A) written notice of a material objection to such Schedule that is made in good faith and in reasonable
detail (an “Objection Notice”); or


 


(ii) the Beneficiary
Representative and each of the Blocker Corporation Owners provide a written waiver of its right to deliver an Objection Notice
within the time period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date
the waivers from the Beneficiary Representative and Blocker Corporation Owners are received by Parent.


 


In the event that Beneficiary Representative
or a Blocker Corporation Owner timely delivers an Objection Notice pursuant to clause (i) above, and if the Parties, for any reason,
are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by
Parent of the Objection Notice, Parent and the Beneficiary Representative and Blocker Corporation Owners shall employ the reconciliation
procedures as described in Section 7.10 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).


 


(b) Amended Schedule.
The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by Parent: (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 originally provided to the Beneficiary Representative and
Blocker Corporation Owners; (iii) to comply with an Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures applicable
to this Agreement; (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
a Basis Schedule to take into account any Tax Benefit Payments made pursuant to this



    	19



    	



    

Agreement (any such Schedule,
an “Amended Schedule”). Parent shall provide an Amended Schedule to the Beneficiary Representative and Blocker
Corporation Owners within sixty (60) calendar days of the occurrence of an event referenced in clauses (i) through (vi) of the
immediately preceding sentence, and any such Amended Schedule shall be subject to approval procedures similar to those described
in Section 2.6(a). For the avoidance of doubt, if a Schedule is amended after such Schedule becomes final pursuant to Section
2.6(a), the Amended Schedule shall not be taken into account in calculating any Tax Benefit Payment in the Taxable Year to
which such amendment relates but instead shall be taken into account in calculating the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit for
the Taxable Year in which the amendment is executed.


 


2.7 Significant Beneficiaries.
For the purposes of Sections 2.3, 2.5 and 2.6 of this Agreement, a Significant Beneficiary shall have the same procedural rights
and obligations as the Beneficiary Representative and Parent shall have the same procedural duties and obligations to a Significant
Beneficiary as it does to the Beneficiary Representative.


 


ARTICLE
III

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS


 


3.1 Payments.


 


(a) Timing of Payments.
Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, within five (5) Business Days following the date on which each Tax Benefit Schedule
that is required to be delivered by Parent to the Beneficiaries pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of this Agreement becomes final
in accordance with Section 2.6(a) of this Agreement (such date, a “Final Payment Date” in respect of
any applicable Tax Benefit Payment), unless required pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3.1(a), Parent shall
pay to each relevant Beneficiary the Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b). Subject to Sections 3.2
and 3.3, within five (5) Business Days following the date on which each Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule that is required to be
delivered by Parent to the Blocker Corporation Owner pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.4(c) of this Agreement becomes final
in accordance with Section 2.4(b) or Section 2.4(c) of this Agreement, as applicable (such date, a “Final Payment Date”
in respect of any applicable Tax Benefit Payment), unless required pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3.1(a), Parent
shall pay to each relevant Blocker Corporation Owner the Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b). Each Tax
Benefit Payment made pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank
account previously designated by such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner, as the case may be, or as otherwise agreed by Parent
and such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Beneficiaries nor
the Blocker Corporation Owners shall be required under any circumstances to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously
paid by Parent to the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners, as the case may be (including any portion of any Early Termination
Payment).


 


(b) Amount of Payments.
For purposes of this Agreement, a “Tax Benefit Payment” with respect to any (i) Beneficiary means an amount,
not less than zero, equal to the sum of: (A) the Net Tax Benefit that is Attributable to such Beneficiary and (B) the Actual Interest
Amount in respect of such portion of Net Tax Benefit and (ii) Blocker Corporation Owner means an amount, not less than zero, equal
to the sum of A) the Net Tax Benefit that is



    	20



    	



    

Attributable to such
Blocker Corporation Owner in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(i)(B) hereof and (B) the Actual Interest Amount in respect of such
portion of Net Tax Benefit.


 


(i) Attributable. The
portion of any Net Tax Benefit of Parent that is “Attributable” to any Beneficiary shall be determined by reference
to the assets from which arise the depreciation, amortization or other similar deductions for recovery of cost or basis (“Depreciation”)
and the Inherited Tax Attributes, and the Imputed Interest that produce the Realized Tax Benefit, under the following principles:


 


(A) Any Realized
Tax Benefit arising from a deduction to Parent with respect to a Taxable Year for Depreciation arising in respect of a Basis Adjustment
to a Reference Asset is Attributable to a Beneficiary to the extent that the ratio of all Depreciation for the Taxable Year in
respect of Basis Adjustments resulting from the portion of the Sale and from all Exchanges effected by such Beneficiary bears to
the aggregate of all Depreciation for the Taxable Year in respect of Basis Adjustments resulting from all Exchanges by all Beneficiaries.


 


(B) Any Realized
Tax Benefit arising from the use of an Inherited Tax Attribute of a Blocker Corporation is Attributable to a Blocker Corporation
Owner of such Blocker Corporation in proportion to such Blocker Corporation Owners’ ownership percentage reflected on Exhibit
A.


 


(C) Any Realized
Tax Benefit arising from a deduction to the Corporation with respect to a Taxable Year in respect of Imputed Interest is Attributable
to a Beneficiary that is required to include the Imputed Interest in income (without regard to whether such Beneficiary is actually
subject to tax thereon).


 


(ii) Net Tax Benefit.
The “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year equals the amount of the excess, if any, of (x) 85% of the Cumulative
Net Realized Tax Benefit Attributable to Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner as of the end of such Taxable Year over (y) the
aggregate amount of all Tax Benefit Payments previously made to such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner under this Section
3.1. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of any Taxable Year is less than
the aggregate amount of all Tax Benefit Payments previously made to a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner, such Beneficiary
shall not be required to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously made by Parent to such Beneficiary or Blocker
Corporation Owner.


 


(iii) Imputed Interest.
The principles of Sections 1272, 1274, or 483 of the Code, as applicable, and the principles of any similar provision of U.S. state
and local law, will apply to cause a portion of any Net Tax Benefit payable by Parent to a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner
under this Agreement to be treated as imputed interest (“Imputed Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, the
deduction for the amount of Imputed Interest as determined with respect to any Net Tax Benefit payable by Parent to a Beneficiary
or Blocker Corporation Owner shall be excluded in determining the Hypothetical Tax Liability of Parent for purposes of calculating
Realized Tax Benefits and Realized Tax Detriments pursuant to this Agreement.



    	21



    	



    

(iv) Default Rate
Interest. In the event that Parent does not make timely payment of all or any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment to a Beneficiary
or Blocker Corporation Owner on or before a Final Payment Date as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the amount of “Default
Rate Interest” calculated in respect of the Net Tax Benefit (including previously accrued Imputed Interest and Extension
Rate Interest) for a Taxable Year will equal interest calculated at the Default Rate from a Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit
Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a) until the date on which Parent makes such Tax Benefit Payment to such Beneficiary
or Blocker Corporation Owner. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Default Rate Interest as determined with respect to
any Net Tax Benefit payable by Parent to a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner shall be excluded in the Hypothetical Tax Liability
of Parent for purposes of calculating Realized Tax Benefits and Realized Tax Detriments pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(v) Value. Parent,
the Beneficiaries and Blocker Corporation Owners hereby acknowledge and agree that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of
the date of the Sale and any future Exchange that may be subject to this Agreement, the aggregate value of the Tax Benefit Payments
cannot be reasonably ascertained for U.S. federal income or other applicable tax purposes.


 


(c) Interest.
The provisions of Section 3.1(b) are intended to operate so that interest will effectively accrue in respect of the Net
Tax Benefit for any Taxable Year as follows:


 


(i) first, at the applicable
rate used to determine the amount of Imputed Interest under the Code (from the relevant Exchange Date until the due date (without
extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of Parent for such Taxable Year);


 


(ii) second, at the
Agreed Rate in respect of any Extension Rate Interest (from the due date (without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income
Tax Return of Parent for such Taxable Year until a Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section
3.1(a)); and


 


(iii) third, at the
Default Rate in respect of any Default Rate Interest (from a Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant
to Section 3.1(a) until the date on which Parent makes the relevant Tax Benefit Payment to a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation
Owner).


 


(iv) For the avoidance
of doubt, interest that accrues pursuant to Sections 3.1(c)(ii) and 3.1(c)(iii) hereof shall not be treated as interest for Tax
purposes but shall instead be treated as additional consideration payable by the Company for the Company Common Units acquired
in the Sale or an Exchange, or the assets acquired pursuant to the Blocker Merger, as the case may be, unless otherwise required
by applicable law.


 


3.2 No Duplicative
Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in the duplicative payment of any amount (including
interest) that may be required under this Agreement, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be consistently interpreted and
applied in accordance with that intent. For purposes of this Agreement, and also for the



    	22



    	



    

avoidance of doubt, no
Tax Benefit Payment shall be calculated or made in respect of any estimated tax payments, including any estimated U.S. federal
income tax payments.


 


3.3 Pro-Ration of
Payments as Between the Beneficiaries and Blocker Corporation Owners; Coordination of Benefits.


 


(a) Insufficient
Taxable Income. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1(b) to the contrary, if the aggregate potential Covered Tax
benefit of Parent as calculated with respect to the Basis Adjustments, the Inherited Tax Attributes, and Imputed Interest (in
each case, without regard to the Taxable Year of origination) permitted to be utilized in a particular Taxable Year is
limited in such Taxable Year because Parent does not have sufficient actual taxable income or otherwise pursuant to
applicable law, then the available Covered Tax benefit for Parent shall be allocated among the Beneficiaries or Blocker
Corporation Owners, as the case may be, in proportion to the respective Tax Benefit Payment that would have been payable if
Parent had in fact had sufficient taxable income so that there had been no such limitation.


 


(b) Pro-Rata Payments.
After taking into account Section 3.3(a), if for any reason Parent 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 (i) Parent shall pay the same proportion
of each Tax Benefit Payment due to each Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner 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) Late Payments.
If for any reason Parent is not able to timely and fully satisfy its payment obligations under this Agreement in respect of a particular
Taxable Year, then Default Rate Interest will begin to accrue pursuant to Section 5.2.


 


(d) Excess Payments.
To the extent Parent makes a payment to a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner in respect of a particular Taxable Year under
Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement (taking into account Section 3.3(a) and (b), but excluding payments attributable to Accrued Amounts)
in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner
in respect of such Taxable Year, then (i) such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner shall not receive further payments under
Section 3.1(a) until such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and
(ii) Parent will pay the amount of such Beneficiary’s or Blocker Corporation Owner’s foregone payments to the other
Persons to whom a payment is due under this Agreement in a manner such that each such Person to whom a payment is due under this
Agreement, to the maximum extent possible, receives aggregate payments under Section 3.1(a) (taking into account Section 3.3(a)
and (b), but excluding payments attributable to Accrued Amounts) in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess
payment to such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner.

ARTICLE
IV

TERMINATION


 


4.1 Termination.
Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4.2, 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 Beneficiary
or Blocker Corporation Owner retaining an interest in Parent, the Company, or any successor thereto.


 


4.2 Early Termination.


 


(a) Parent’s
Early Termination Right. With the written approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, Parent may completely terminate
this Agreement, as and to the extent provided herein, with respect to all amounts payable to the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation
Owners pursuant to this Agreement by paying to the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners the Early Termination Payment; provided
that Early Termination Payments may be made pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) only if made to all Beneficiaries or Blocker
Corporation Owners that are entitled to such a payment simultaneously; provided further, that Parent may withdraw
any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.2(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination
Payment has been paid. Upon Parent’s payment of the Early Termination Payment, Parent shall not have any further payment
obligations under this Agreement, other than with respect to any: (i) prior Tax Benefit Payments that are due and payable under
this Agreement but that still remain unpaid as of the date of the Early Termination Notice; and (ii) current Tax Benefit Payment
due for the Taxable Year ending on or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount
described in clause (ii) is included in the calculation of the Early Termination Payment). If an Exchange subsequently occurs with
respect to Company Common Units for which Parent has exercised its termination rights under this Section 4.2(a), Parent
shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange.


 


(b) Acceleration
Upon Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations
shall be calculated pursuant to this Article IV as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date
of the Change of Control and utilizing the Valuation Assumptions by substituting the phrase “the closing date of a Change
of Control” in each place where the phrase “Early Termination Effective Date” appears. Such obligations shall
include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered
on the closing date of the Change of Control, (2) any Tax Benefit Payments agreed to by Parent and the Beneficiaries or Blocker
Corporation Owners as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (3) any Tax Benefit Payments due for any
Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the closing date of a Change of Control (except to the extent that any amounts
described in clauses (2) or (3) are included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 4.3
and 4.4 shall apply to a Change of Control, mutadis mutandi.


 


(c) Acceleration
Upon Breach of Agreement. In the event that Parent materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement,
whether as a result of failure to make any material payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of receiving written
notice from the Beneficiary Representative or Blocker Corporation Owners of Parent’s such failure to timely pay, failure
to honor any other material obligation required



    	24



    	



    

hereunder to the extent
not cured within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice from any Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner that is materially
prejudiced by such failure, 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 become immediately due and payable upon notice
of acceleration from a 10% Beneficiary or as a result of a Two-Thirds Beneficiary and Blocker Approval (provided that in
the case of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other insolvency statute, such acceleration shall be automatic without
any such notice), and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of
such notice of acceleration (or, in the case of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other insolvency statute, on the date
of such breach) and shall include, but not be limited to: (i) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination
Notice had been delivered on the date of such acceleration; (ii) any prior Tax Benefit Payments that are due and payable under
this Agreement but that still remain unpaid as of the date of such acceleration; and (iii) any current Tax Benefit Payment due
for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such acceleration. For purposes of this Section 4.2(c), and subject
to the following sentence, the Parties agree that the failure to make any material payment due pursuant to this Agreement within
three months of receiving written notice from the Beneficiary Representative or Blocker Corporation Owner of Parent’s such
failure to timely pay shall be deemed to be a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of
this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make
a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of receiving such written notice. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a material breach of a material obligation of this Agreement if Parent fails to make
any Tax Benefit Payment to the extent that Parent has insufficient funds, or cannot take commercially reasonable actions to obtain
sufficient funds, to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such
late payment (unless Parent does not have sufficient funds to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any Senior
Obligations, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate).


 


4.3 Early Termination
Notice. If Parent chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.2 above, Parent shall deliver to
the Beneficiaries and the Blocker Corporation Owners a notice of Parent’s decision to exercise such right (an “Early
Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) showing in reasonable detail
the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. Parent shall also (x) deliver supporting schedules and work papers, as determined
by Parent or as reasonably requested by a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner, that provide a reasonable level of detail regarding
the data and calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Early Termination Schedule; (y) deliver a Parent Letter
supporting such Early Termination Schedule; and (z) allow the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners and their advisors to
have reasonable access to the appropriate representatives, as determined by Parent or as reasonably requested by the Beneficiaries
or Blocker Corporation Owner, at Parent and the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Early Termination Schedule. The
Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on each Party forty-five (45) calendar days from the first date on which
the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners received such Early Termination Schedule unless:



    	25



    	



    

(i) a Beneficiary or
Blocker Corporation Owner, within forty-five (45) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides Parent
with (A) notice of a material objection to such Early Termination Schedule made in good faith and setting forth in reasonable detail
such Beneficiary’s or Blocker Corporation Owner’s material objection (a “Termination Objection Notice”)
and (B) a letter from a Beneficiary Advisory Firm or Blocker Owner Advisory Firm, as applicable, in support of such Termination
Objection Notice; or


 


(ii) each Beneficiary
or Blocker Corporation Owner provides a written waiver of such right of a Termination Objection Notice within the period described
in clause (i) above, in which case such Early Termination Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver from all Beneficiaries
or Blocker Corporation Owners is received by Parent.


 


In the event that a Beneficiary or Blocker
Corporation Owner timely delivers a Termination Objection Notice pursuant to clause (i) above, and if the Parties, for any reason,
are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Termination Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after
receipt by Parent of the Termination Objection Notice, Parent and such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner shall employ the
Reconciliation Procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the expense of preparing
and obtaining the letter from a Beneficiary Advisory Firm or Blocker Owner Advisory Firm referenced in clause (i) above
shall be borne solely by such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner and Parent shall have no liability with respect to such
letter or any of the expenses associated with its preparation and delivery. The date on which the Early Termination Schedule becomes
final in accordance with this Section 4.3 shall be the “Early Termination Reference Date.”


 


4.4 Payment upon
Early Termination.


 


(a) Timing of Payment.
Within five (5) Business Days after the Early Termination Reference Date, Parent shall pay to each Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation
Owner an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment for such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner. Such Early Termination
Payment shall be made by Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the
Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners or as otherwise agreed by Parent and the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners.


 


(b) Amount of Payment.
The “Early Termination Payment” payable to a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner pursuant to Section
4.4(a) shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as determined as of the Early Termination Reference
Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by Parent to such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner,
whether payable with respect to Company Common Units that were Sold or Exchanged prior to the Early Termination Effective Date
or on or after the Early Termination Effective Date, beginning from the Early Termination Effective Date and using the Valuation
Assumptions. For the avoidance of doubt, an Early Termination Payment shall be made to each Beneficiary, regardless of whether
such Beneficiary has Sold or Exchanged all of its Company Common Units as of the Early Termination Effective Date.

SUBORDINATION AND BREACH OF PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS


 


5.1 Subordination.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required
to be made by Parent to the Beneficiaries or the Blocker Corporation Owners 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 owed in respect
of secured or unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money of Parent and its Subsidiaries (in all events, excluding any debt instruments
between Parent and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu in
right of payment with all current or future unsecured obligations of Parent that are not Senior Obligations. To the extent that
any payment under this Agreement is not permitted to be made at the time payment is due as a result of this Section 5.1
and the terms of the agreements governing Senior Obligations, such payment obligation nevertheless shall accrue for the benefit
of the Beneficiaries or the Blocker Corporation Owners and Parent shall make such payments at the first opportunity that such payments
are permitted to be made in accordance with the terms of the Senior Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the
above, the determination of whether it is a breach of this Agreement if Parent fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due shall
be governed by Section 4.2(c).


 


5.2 Late Payments
by Parent. Except as otherwise provided herein, the amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination
Payment not made to the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners when due under the terms of this Agreement, whether as a result
of Section 5.1 and the terms of the Senior Obligations or otherwise, shall be payable together with Default Rate Interest,
which shall accrue beginning on a Final Payment Date and be computed as provided in Section 3.1(b)(iv).


 


5.3 Right of Setoff.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Beneficiary or a Blocker Corporation Owner owes any amounts to Parent,
Parent may, without advance notice to or demand on such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner set-off or apply any such amounts
against the Tax Benefit Payments otherwise payable to such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner under this Agreement.


 


ARTICLE

TAX MATTERS; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION


 


6.1 Parent’s
and the Company’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, Parent shall have full responsibility for, and sole
discretion over, all Tax matters concerning Parent and 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 Parent act in
good faith in connection with its control of any matter which is reasonably expected to materially affect the Beneficiaries’
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall notify the Beneficiary Representative,
the Significant Beneficiaries and Blocker Corporation Owners of, and keep them reasonably informed with respect to, the portion
of any tax audit of Parent or the Company, or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, the outcome of which is reasonably expected
to affect the Tax Benefit Payments payable to the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners under this Agreement.



    	27



    	



    

6.2 Consistency.
All calculations and determinations made hereunder, including any Basis Adjustments, the Schedules, and the determination of any
Realized Tax Benefits or Realized Tax Detriments, shall be made in accordance with the elections, methodologies or positions taken
by Parent and the Company on their respective Tax Returns. Each Beneficiary and Blocker Corporation Owner shall prepare its Tax
Returns in a manner that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and any related calculations or determinations that are
made hereunder, including the terms of Section 2.1 of this Agreement and the Schedules provided to the Beneficiaries and
Blocker Corporation Owners under this Agreement unless otherwise required by applicable Law. In the event that an Advisory Firm
is replaced with another Advisory Firm acceptable to the Audit Committee, such replacement Advisory Firm shall perform its services
under this Agreement using procedures and methodologies consistent with the previous Advisory Firm, unless otherwise required by
law or unless Parent, the Beneficiary Representative, the Significant Beneficiaries and Blocker Corporation Owners agree to the
use of other procedures and methodologies.


 


6.3 Cooperation.
Each Beneficiary and Blocker Corporation Owner shall (a) furnish to Parent in a timely manner such information, documents and other
materials as Parent 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 Parent and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information
as Parent 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 Parent shall reimburse any Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation
Owner for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner pursuant to this
Section 6.3.


 


6.4 Pre-Transactions
Tax Records. Parent and its advisors may rely on all Tax Returns of the Company that were prepared and filed prior to completion
of the Reorganization Transactions and may assume in good faith that all such Tax Returns are correct, complete and accurate unless
otherwise established by a Determination.


 


6.5 Tax Treatment
of Beneficiary Rights. The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree to treat for all tax reporting purposes any payments made to
a Beneficiary under this Agreement: (i) such payments arising from the Sale, as money received within the meaning of Section 351(b)(1)
of the Code, and (ii) such payments arising from an Exchange, as money received within the meaning of Section 1001(b) of the Code
for the applicable Company Common Units exchanged by such Beneficiary in such Exchange, in each case, except with respect to Imputed
Interest. The Parties shall for all tax reporting purposes treat such payments consistently with this Section 6.5 except upon a
contrary final determination by an applicable taxing authority.


 


6.6 Tax Treatment
of Blocker Corporation Owners Rights. The Parties acknowledge and hereby agree to treat for U.S. federal income tax purposes
any payments made to a Blocker Corporation Owner under this Agreement as additional consideration described as “other property”
within the meaning of Section 356 of the Code pursuant to the applicable Blocker Merger, except with respect to Imputed Interest.
The Parties shall for all tax reporting purposes



    	28



    	



    

treat such payments consistently
with this Section 6.6 except upon a contrary final determination by an applicable taxing authority.

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


 


7.3 Entire Agreement;
No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever
under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


7.4 Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.


 


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


 


7.6 Successors; Assignment;
Amendments; Waivers.


 


(a) Assignment.
No Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner may assign, sell, pledge, or otherwise alienate or transfer any interest in this Agreement,
including the right to receive any Tax Benefit Payments under this Agreement, to any Person without (i) the prior written consent
of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and which consent shall only be withheld
if Parent determines and notifies such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner that, upon consultation with counsel, such transfer
would (x) be prohibited by law, (y) result in a breach of any material agreement of Parent that is



    	30



    	



    

not entered into to frustrate
the assignability of any interest in this Agreement, or (z) cause an unreasonable non-tax regulatory burden on Parent, and (ii)
without such Person executing and delivering a Joinder agreeing to succeed to the applicable portion of such Beneficiary’s
or Blocker Corporation Owner’s interest in this Agreement and to become a Party for all purposes of this Agreement (the “Joinder
Requirement”); provided, however, that to the extent any Beneficiary sells, exchanges, distributes, or otherwise
transfers Company Common Units to any Person (other than Parent or the Company) in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement
and/or Company LLC Agreement, the Beneficiaries shall have the option to assign to the transferee of such Company Common Units
its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Company Common Units; provided, further, that such transferee
has satisfied the Joinder Requirement. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Beneficiary transfers Company Common Units in accordance
with the terms of the Exchange Agreement and/or Company LLC Agreement but does not assign to the transferee of such Company Common
Units its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Company Common Units, such Beneficiary shall continue to
be entitled to receive the Tax Benefit Payments arising in respect of a subsequent Exchange of such Company Common Units and such
transferee may not enforce the provisions of Sections 2.6, 4.2, 6.1, and 6.2 herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, an assignee of only rights to receive a Tax Benefit Payment in connection with the Sale or an Exchange has no rights
under this Agreement other than to enforce it right to receive a Tax Benefit Payment pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(b) Amendments.
No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by Parent and by the Beneficiaries or
Blocker Corporation Owner who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the Early Termination Payments payable to all
Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners hereunder if the Company had exercised its right of early termination under Section
4.2 on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such Amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made
to any Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner 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 materially disproportionate effect on the payments certain
Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners may receive under this Agreement unless at least two-thirds of such Beneficiaries or
Blocker Corporation Owners materially disproportionately effected (with such two-thirds threshold being measured by the entitlement
to Early Termination Payments as set forth in the preceding portion of this sentence) 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.


 


(c) Successors.
All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by,
the Parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. Parent
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 Parent, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that Parent would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.



    	31



    	



    

(d) Waiver. No
failure by any Party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, or condition of this Agreement, or
to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant,
duty, agreement, or condition.


 


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


 


7.8 Resolution of
Disputes.


 


(a) Except for Reconciliation
Disputes subject to Section 7.10, any and all disputes which cannot be settled after substantial good-faith negotiation,
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 resolved by arbitration in accordance with the International
Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration by a panel of three arbitrators (the “Arbitrators”),
of which Parent shall designate one Arbitrator and the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners party to such Dispute shall
designate one Arbitrator in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in Resolution Rule 5.4. The
arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of the arbitration shall be Wilmington,
Delaware. The Arbitrators are not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each Party hereby irrevocably
waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute.


 


(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of paragraph (a), any Party may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for
the purpose of compelling another 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 Party (i) expressly consents to the application
of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.8 to any such action or proceeding, and (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. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.8 shall not apply to Reconciliation Disputes to be settled in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.10.


 


(c) Each Party hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive 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 U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding brought in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.8(b) or any judicial proceeding ancillary
to an arbitration or contemplated arbitration (including any proceeding to compel arbitration to obtain temporary or preliminary
judicial relief in aid of arbitration or to confirm an arbitration award) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for recognition
or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of



    	32



    	



    

any such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such Delaware State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such U.S. District
Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.


 


(d) Each Party irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section
7.8(c). Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.


 


(e) Each Party irrevocably
consents to service of process by means of notice in the manner provided for in Section 7.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.


 


(f) WAIVER OF RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).


 


7.9 Removal or Replacement
of Beneficiary Representative. The Beneficiary Representative shall not be removed or replaced without the written consent
of Parent and the Two-Thirds Beneficiary and Blocker Approval.


 


7.10 Reconciliation.
In the event that Parent and the Beneficiary Representative, a Significant Beneficiary, or a Blocker Corporation Owner are unable
to resolve a disagreement with respect to a Basis Schedule, Tax Benefit Schedule, Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule (as applicable),
or with respect to an Early Termination Schedule, within the relevant time period designated in this Agreement (a “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 firm, and unless Parent and the Beneficiary Representative, such Significant Beneficiary, or such Blocker
Corporation Owner agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship
with Parent or the Beneficiary Representative, such Significant Beneficiary, or such Blocker Corporation Owner 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 selection of an Expert shall be treated as a Dispute subject
to Section 7.8 and an arbitration panel shall pick an Expert from a nationally recognized accounting firm that does not
have any material relationship with Parent or the Beneficiary Representative, such Significant Beneficiary, or such Blocker Corporation
Owner or other actual or potential conflict of interest. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Basis Schedule or
an amendment thereto, the Inherited Tax Attribute Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment
thereto within thirty (30) calendar



    	33



    	



    

days and shall resolve
any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as
is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of
such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the
date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by Parent, 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 Parent
except as provided in the next sentence. Parent, such Significant Beneficiary, or such Blocker Corporation Owner shall bear its
own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert adopts such Significant Beneficiary’s, or such Blocker Corporation
Owner’s position, in which case Parent shall reimburse the Significant Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner, as the case
may be, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert adopts Parent’s
position, in which case the Significant Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner, as the case may be, shall reimburse Parent for
any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation
Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.10 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation
Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be binding on Parent, the Beneficiaries,
and Blocker Corporation Owners and may be entered and enforced in any court having competent jurisdiction.


 


7.11 Withholding.
Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent is required
to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign
tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by Parent, such withheld
amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation
Owner. Each Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner shall promptly provide Parent with any applicable tax forms and certifications
reasonably requested by Parent in connection with determining whether any such deductions and withholdings are required under any
provision of U.S. federal state, local or foreign tax law.


 


7.12 Admission of
Parent into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.


 


(a) If Parent becomes
a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income tax return pursuant to Sections
1501, et seq. or other applicable Sections of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign 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 Parent (or any
other entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder) or any member of the Company
Group transfers (or is deemed to transfer) one or more assets to a corporation with which Parent or any



    	34



    	



    

other entity that is
obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder does not file a consolidated tax return pursuant
to Section 1501 of the Code (or will not file such a return following a series of transactions undertaken in connection with such
transfer(s)), such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment due hereunder,
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 net fair market value of the transferred asset as determined by Parent,
plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered asset, or (ii) the amount
of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a transfer of a partnership interest.


 


7.13 Confidentiality.
Each Beneficiary and its assignees and each Blocker Corporation Owner and each of its assignees acknowledges and agrees that the
information of Parent is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for Parent 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 Parent and its Affiliates
and successors, learned by any Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.13 shall
not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by Parent or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge
(except as a result of an act of any Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known
to the business community, (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation
Owner to prosecute or defend claims arising under or relating to this Agreement, and (iii) the disclosure of information to the
extent necessary for a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner 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 Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Beneficiaries the Blocker Corporation Owners
and each of their respective assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Beneficiaries and Blocker Corporation
Owners or their assignees, as applicable) may disclose at their discretion to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind,
the tax treatment and tax structure of Parent, the Beneficiaries and Blocker Corporation Owners and any of their transactions,
and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Beneficiaries or Blocker
Corporation Owners relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. If a Beneficiary, Blocker Corporation Owner or an assignee
commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.13, Parent shall have the
right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.13 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by
any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that
any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries 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.


 


7.14 Company LLC
Agreement. To the extent this Agreement imposes obligations on the Company or a member of the Company, this Agreement shall
be treated as part of the Company LLC Agreement 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.



    	35



    	



    

7.15 Independent
Nature of Beneficiaries’ Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations of each Beneficiary and Blocker Corporation
Owner hereunder are several and not joint with the rights and obligations of any other Person. A Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation
Owner shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Person hereunder, nor shall a Beneficiary
or Blocker Corporation Owner have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other Person hereunder (other than Parent).
The obligations of a Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner hereunder are solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable
solely by, Parent. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken
by any Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Beneficiaries or
Blocker Corporation Owners acting as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such rights
or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby, and Parent acknowledges that the Beneficiaries or Blocker Corporation Owners
are not acting in concert or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions
contemplated hereby.


 


7.16 Change in Law.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in law, a Beneficiary or a
Blocker Corporation Owner 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 Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner (or direct or indirect
equity holders in such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner) in connection with the Sale or any Exchange or the Blocker Merger
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 such Beneficiary, Blocker Corporation Owner or any direct
or indirect owner of such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner, then at the written election of such Beneficiary or Blocker
Corporation Owner, as the case may be, in its sole discretion (in an instrument signed by such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation
Owner and delivered to Parent) and to the extent specified therein by such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner, as the case
may be, this Agreement shall cease to have further effect and shall not apply to an Exchange occurring after a date specified by
such Beneficiary, or may be amended by in a manner reasonably determined by such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner; provided
that such amendment shall not result in an increase in any payments owed by Parent under this Agreement at any time as compared
to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of such amendment.


 


7.17 Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder with
respect to amounts due to any Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner shall
receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the Tax Benefit Payment or
Early Termination Payment, as applicable (but in each case exclusive of any component thereof comprising interest) or, if it



    	36



    	



    

exceeds such unpaid non-interest
amount, refunded to Parent. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any Beneficiary or Blocker
Corporation Owner exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation Owner may, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount
of interest throughout the contemplated term of the payment obligations owed by Parent to such Beneficiary or Blocker Corporation
Owner hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Parties to conform strictly to any applicable usury
laws.
