 4. Authority of the Sub-Manager. The Sub-Manager is not authorized to advise or bind the Company or to enter into any agreements relative to the Company, and, with respect to the Manager, is to act only as an

in furtherance of its duties under this Agreement), except: (i) to the other party hereto and its respective employees, officers, directors, consultants or advisors; (ii) with the prior written consent of the other party hereto; or
(iii) as required by law or legal process. The foregoing shall not apply to information which has previously become available through the actions of a Person not resulting a violation this Section 5 or to any information within the public

 6. Fees.

conditioned), it shall not agree to any modification of the Management Agreement that would both (i) amend or waive (A) the terms of payments due to the Manager under the Management Agreement or (B) the indemnification or expense
reimbursement provisions of the Management Agreement and (ii) have either (A) a disproportionately adverse effect on the Sub-Manager or (B) a disproportionately positive result for the Manager. 
 (c) The Manager agrees to use reasonable best efforts to collect the Base Management Fee and the Termination Fee on a prompt and timely

 5

Company for reimbursement. The Sub-Manager shall prepare a statement documenting such eligible expenses of the Sub-Manager during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Manager within five (5) business days after the end of each
quarter. The Manager shall reimburse the Sub-Manager for such eligible expenses within five (5) days of receipt by the Manager of reimbursement from the Company for such eligible expenses (provided, that a failure to deliver such statement
within such period shall not limit the rights of the Sub-Manager hereunder except to the extent it prevents the Manager from being reimbursed by the Company). Reimbursement by the Manager to the Sub-Manager for any expenses shall be contingent upon
the receipt by the Manager of reimbursement from the Company under the Management Agreement for such expenses, and the Manager will pursue such reimbursement with substantially the same level of effort that it pursues requests for its own
reimbursement of expenses. 
 8. Restrictions on Transfer. 
 (a) The Sub-Manager shall not directly transfer all or any portion of its right to receive the Sub-Manager Base Management Fee, the
Sub-Manager Termination Fee or any of the amounts payable to the Sub-Manager under this Agreement (but excluding proceeds thereof) to any other Person, without the prior written consent of the Manager (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned). 
 (b) The consent of the Manager (which shall not be unreasonably be withheld, delayed or
conditioned) shall be required prior to a transfer of membership interests in the Sub-Manager that would result in Mark Ein Related Persons, in the aggregate, holding less than a majority in interest of the Sub-Manager. The term transfer as used in
this Section 8(b) shall include any actions that may result in any Mark Ein Related Person ceasing to be a Mark Ein Related Person. 
 9. Other Public Vehicles. 
 (a) During the period from the date of the Merger Agreement through the
Termination Date, Pine River Capital represents and warrants that it has used, and agrees that it shall use, as the case may be, commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Manager is designated as the investment manager with respect to any
Public Vehicle to which Pine River Capital or its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries serves as external investment manager. Subject in all cases to Section 9(b) hereof, in the event that the Manager or any direct or indirect
majority-owned subsidiary of Pine River Capital is designated as the investment manager (a “Pine River Manager”) with respect to any other Public Vehicle, the Manager and the Sub-Manager shall enter into good faith negotiations with
regard to (a) an agreement pursuant to which the Sub-Manager will be engaged as sub-manager with regard to the management of such other Public Vehicle on substantially the terms set forth herein or (b) alternative arrangements that are
reasonably acceptable to both the Manager and the Sub-Manager and that provide for substantially the same proportionate compensation to the Sub-Manager as set forth herein and Pine River Capital shall cause the Pine River Manager to provide the
Sub-Manager with the right to enter into such an agreement; provided, however, that (x) the payment under such agreement that is comparable to the Final Payment will be payable in connection with the fifth anniversary 
  

 6 








 of the closing of the Merger (rather than the fifth anniversary of the date of such agreement) and
(y) if the Pine River Manager grants to an Independent Revenue Sharer irrevocable and fully vested contractual rights (a “Grant”) to a percentage of the total fees payable under the Pine River Manager’s management
agreement with such Public Vehicle, then the fees to which the Sub-Manager is entitled under its applicable agreement with the Pine River Manager with respect to such Public Vehicle will be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage interest
provided to such Independent Revenue Sharer in such Grant during the life of such Grant. If the Manager proposes any Grant in connection with this Section 9(a), Pine River Capital will provide the Sub-Manager with all information and
certifications reasonably requested by the Sub-Manager, including with respect to (x) whether the Person receiving the applicable Grant is an Independent Revenue Sharer and (y) the terms and conditions of the Grant. In connection with any
such Grant, to the extent that one or both of the Sub-Manager and Pine River Capital parties believe in good faith that the adjustment to the Sub-Manager’s fee under this Section 9(a) does not fairly allocate the dilution between the
parties, the parties will negotiate in good faith to adjust the terms of such adjustment. Notwithstanding any delay in executing such agreement or arrangement, the Sub-Manager shall be entitled to the accrual for payment of fees commencing upon the
receipt of management fees by the Manager or such Pine River Manager with regard to such other Public Vehicle. Neither Pine River Capital nor the Manager shall have any obligations pursuant to the foregoing sentences of this Section 9(a) if the
Sub-Manager remains in material breach of any provision of this Agreement after written notice of such material breach delivered by the Manager to the Sub-Manager; provided, however, upon cure by the Sub-Manager of any such breach, Pine River
Capital shall cause the applicable Pine River Manager to negotiate in good faith with the Sub-Manager and provide the Sub-Manager with the right to enter into an agreement described in this paragraph to the extent that the Sub-Manager was, due to
such breach, previously not entitled to enter into such an agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Sub-Manager shall only be entitled to receive (A) the sum of (i) 20% of the aggregate management fees earned by the Manager and any Pine River Manager with respect to the first $1 billion of aggregate Book Value of all
Public Vehicles (including the Company) cumulatively managed by the Manager and any Pine River Manager and (ii) 10% of the aggregate management fees earned by the Manager and any Pine River Manager with respect to the aggregate Book Value of
all Public Vehicles (including the Company) cumulatively managed by the Manager and any Pine River Manager in excess of $1 billion; (B) the sum of (i) 20% of the aggregate termination fees earned by the Manager and any Pine River Manager
with respect to the first $1 billion of aggregate Book Value of all Public Vehicles (including the Company) cumulatively managed by the Manager and any Pine River Manager and (ii) 10% of the aggregate termination fees earned by the Manager and
any Pine River Manager with respect to the aggregate Book Value of all Public Vehicles (including the Company) cumulatively managed by the Manager and any Pine River Manager in excess of $1 billion; and (C) the sum of the Final Payment and all
comparable payments under other agreements entered into by the Sub-Manager pursuant to Section 9(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein with regard to each of the Company and each Public Vehicle, the Sub-Manager shall not
be entitled to receive both a Termination Fee and a Final Payment with regard to such entity. 
 (c) Nothing in this Agreement
shall provide the Sub-Manager with any rights, obligations or interests whatsoever with respect to the private capital management business of Pine River Capital and its Affiliates; and Pine River and the Manager shall have no rights, obligations or
interests whatsoever with respect to any business of the Sub-Manager, its members or their respective Affiliates, other than the Services in respect of the Sub-Manager set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Sub-Manager
shall have (i) no rights with 
  

 7 








 respect to any new private vehicles that Pine River Capital or its Affiliates may form or manage during
the term of this Agreement, regardless of whether any such vehicles may invest in strategies similar to the strategy of the Company or any Public Vehicle and (ii) no rights with respect to any Public Vehicle that is externally managed by any
management entity at the time such management entity is acquired by Pine River Capital or its Affiliates after the date of this Agreement, provided, however, that in connection with any such acquisition, Pine River Capital shall, or
shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, offer to the Sub-Manager (which may assign the right to accept this offer to any if its Affiliates in whole or in part) the right to invest, on the same terms and conditions as Pine River Capital or its
applicable Affiliate (except that the Sub-Manager and/or any designated Affiliate will be entitled to customary and reasonable minority investor protections), in up to 20% of each class of securities of such management entity acquired by Pine River
Capital and its Affiliates, collectively, provided, further, that the Sub-Manager and/or its designated Affiliates will have 45 days to accept such offer after receiving written notice from Pine River Capital describing in reasonable
detail all the material terms of the offer (the “Notice Date”), and will have 60 days to fund the purchase price if such offer is accepted after the Notice Date. Subject to conflict of interest policies to be agreed upon between the
parties, nothing will limit the ability of Pine River Capital and its Affiliates, or the Sub-Manager and its Affiliates, to enter into other transactions, including (x) trading in the securities of special purpose acquisition companies other
than Capitol through one or more funds managed by Pine River Capital or its Affiliates, (y) investing or trading in securities, or pursing investment strategies, that are the same or similar to those of the Company, or (z) subject to
applicable law, pursuing any other investment or opportunity that may be of interest to the Company. 
 10. Relationship of Sub-Manager,
Manager, Pine River Capital and Company. The Manager and Pine River Capital, on the one hand, and the Sub-Manager, on the other hand, are not partners, members or joint venturers with each other nor with the Company, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners, members or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on any of them. The relationship of the parties is intended to be contractual and not fiduciary in nature. 
 11. Term and Termination. 
 (a) This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Merger, (ii) the termination of the Management Agreement by Company, or (iii) the effective date of the removal of
the Sub-Manager for Cause (the “Termination Date”); provided that all rights and obligations with respect to any earned but unpaid Sub-Manager Base Management Fee and any other amounts payable under this Agreement with respect to
periods prior to, on or in connection with the Termination Date shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, further, that, subject to the foregoing proviso, in the event of termination pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) above,
there shall be no Sub-Manager Termination Fee paid to the Sub-Manager and, in the event of termination pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, there shall be no Final Payment paid to the Sub-Manager. If, in the event of a termination
pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Manager or any Pine River Manager, on the other hand, enter into a new management agreement effective within six months of such termination, this
Agreement will be deemed to apply with respect to such new management agreement, and, without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of Section 9(a), the Termination Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. Pine River Capital shall cause
the applicable Pine River Manager, if it is not the Manager, to assume the Manager’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event one or more of the Sub-Manager and the applicable Pine River Manager believes in good faith
that this Agreement should be amended to reflect differences between the new management agreement and the Management Agreement, the Sub-Manager and the applicable Pine River Manager shall enter into good faith negotiations with 

 

 8 








 regard to any such appropriate amendments and Pine River Capital shall cause the Pine River Manager to
provide the Sub-Manager with the right to enter into any such amendments. In any such event Pine River Capital will provide the Sub-Manager with all information and certifications reasonably requested by the Sub-Manager. Notwithstanding any
delay in executing any such amendment, the Sub-Manager shall be entitled to the accrual for payment of fees (on the terms as so amended) commencing upon the receipt of management fees by the Manager or such Pine River Manager with regard to such new
agreement. 
 (b) If the Termination Date occurs under Section 11(a)(i) above, subject to Section 14(b), the
Sub-Manager shall receive a final payment (the “Final Payment”) of 7.7 times the annualized rate of (i.e., 30.8 times) the last quarterly payment of the Sub-Manager Base Management Fee; provided that, (i) the Final
Payment shall be calculated and determined in accordance with Section 11(e) and (ii) for purposes of calculating the Final Payment, the last quarterly Sub-Manager Base Management Fee payment shall be re-calculated to reverse any reduction
in Stockholders’ Equity that results, pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Stockholders’ Equity in the Management Agreement, from any repurchases of common stock of the Company that occurred in the 12-month period prior to
such termination. The Final Payment shall be paid on the date that is 60 days after the Termination Date (or, if such date is not a business day, the next business day). If during the six months following the Termination Date, the Company raises new
equity capital, then the Final Payment will be recalculated to include the increase in Stockholders’ Equity resulting from the issuance of such new equity capital, but reduced by any reductions in Stockholders’ Equity occurring during such
six-month period (other than any reductions that, pursuant to the adjustment described above, would have been excluded from the calculation of the termination payment if such reductions had occurred during the 12 months preceding the Termination
Date), with the net increase in the amount of the Final Payment as re-calculated payable on the date that is 60 days after the date that is six months after the Termination Date (or, if such date is not a business day, the next business day).

 (c) Upon the termination of this Agreement (or in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii), the
determination of termination in accordance with Section 14(b)), except to the extent inconsistent with applicable law, the Sub-Manager shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (A) deliver to the Manager one copy of all expense
statements generated pursuant to Section 7 hereof covering the period following the date of the last provision of such expense statements to the Manager through the Termination Date; and (B) deliver to the Manager all property and
documents of the Company provided to or obtained by the Sub-Manager pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, including all copies and extracts thereof in whatever form, then in the Sub-Manager’s possession or under its control
(provided that the Sub-Manager’s outside counsel may retain one copy to be kept confidential and used solely for archival purposes). 
 (d) Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, if the Sub-Manager is removed for Cause, the effective date of a removal for Cause shall be the date upon which the Manager shall have delivered to Sub-Manager both
(i) written notice that the Sub-Manager is being removed for Cause in accordance with the Sub-Management Agreement, and (ii) a copy of the applicable final, non-appealable order evidencing the required final determination of the court of
competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) For the purposes of calculating the Final Payment and the Sub-Manager Base Management Fee on
which the Final Payment is based, the Manager shall (i) calculate Stockholders’ Equity (A) in accordance with (1) the books and records of the Company and (2) the definition of Stockholders’ Equity in the Management
Agreement and (B) using the same 
  

 9 








 accounting principles, policies, practices and methodologies used in, and applied consistently with, the
prior calculations of Stockholders’ Equity under the Management Agreement, and (ii) shall otherwise follow the past practices of the Manager and the Company with respect to calculating Stockholders’ Equity, in each case, subject to
the adjustments expressly provided for in Section 11(a). In connection with the calculation of the Final Payment, upon the Manager’s calculation of the applicable Sub-Manager Base Management Fee, the Manager shall promptly deliver to the
Sub-Manager a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the Final Payment (including the applicable calculations of Sub-Manager Base Management Fee and Stockholders’ Equity) and provide the Sub-Manager reasonable
access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to all work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared or reviewed by the Manager or by any of its representatives that are relevant to its calculation of the Final
Payment (or the applicable calculation of Sub-Manager Base Management Fee or Stockholders’ Equity), and such access shall be provided promptly after request by the Sub-Manager, and the Manager shall request that its accountants communicate with
the Sub-Manager and its representatives; provided, that the Sub-Manager may be required to sign an “indemnification letter” in the form generally used by the Manager’s accountant prior to receiving access to any materials prepared by
such accountant. The Manager shall cause its representatives to be available, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the Sub-Manager to review the calculation of the Final Payment (including the applicable Sub-Manager Base
Management Fee or Stockholders’ Equity). In the event that the Sub-Manager disputes the calculation of the Final Payment (including the calculation of the applicable Sub-Manager Base Management Fee or Stockholders’ Equity), the Sub-Manager
and the Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts, and negotiate in good faith, to promptly reach agreement as to the correct calculation of the Final Payment. 
 12. Assignment. The Manager may not assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that the Manager may assign, in their entirety, its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any
third party upon the assignment of its rights and obligations under the Management Agreement to such third party; provided that both the assignee agrees in writing to assume all obligations hereunder and the Manager shall continue to remain liable
for its obligations to the Sub-Manager hereunder. The transfer of fees and other amounts payable to the Sub-Manager under this Agreement shall be governed by Section 8(a). Otherwise this Agreement shall not be assigned by any party hereto
without the prior written consent of the other parties. 
 13. Indemnification. The Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the Sub-Manager to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with the Management Agreement. 
 14. Remedies; Limitation of
Liability. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Pine River Capital, the Company
or any of their Affiliates (including the Manager), on the one hand, or the Sub-Manager, on the other hand, be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited
to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether Pine River Capital, the Company or their Affiliates, on the one hand, or the Sub-Manager, on the other hand, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;
provided, however, that in connection with any dispute between Pine River or the Manager, on the one hand, and the Sub-Manager, on the other hand, regarding the Sub-Manager’s right to receive payments under this Agreement, (x) if the
Sub-Manager is finally determined to have been entitled to receive any amounts (not paid when due) under this Agreement, the Sub-Manager will be entitled to (1) reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred in connection with such dispute and collection 
  

 10 








 of such amounts and (2) interest accruing at the Interest Rate on such unpaid amounts from the date
payment was originally due until actually paid, and (y) if the Sub-Manager is finally determined not to have been entitled to receive any amounts (not paid when due) under this Agreement, the Manager will be entitled to reimbursement of
reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such dispute. Further, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Manager, Pine River Capital nor any of their respective Affiliates
shall be liable to the Sub-Manager for payment of a Sub-Manager Base Management Fee, Sub-Manager Termination Fee or any similar compensation (other than any Final Payment or other final payment) except to the extent that the Manager, Pine River
Capital or such Affiliate (as the case may be) or its assignee has actually received a corresponding fee from corresponding Public Vehicles (including the Company). This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based
upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein
with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director,
officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more
of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the parties under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Manager will not be entitled to terminate the Agreement (except as expressly set forth in the termination provisions above), withhold or offset amounts owed hereunder or otherwise seek recourse against the Sub-Manager for any breach of this
Agreement, except that the Manager may seek payment of monetary damages to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines such damages are awarded to the Manager against the Sub-Manager as a result of Cause (and such damages exceed
any amounts released from escrow to the Manager in accordance with this Section 14(b)); provided that, in the event that the Manager has, in good faith in accordance with this Agreement, initiated litigation with respect to Cause prior to the
fifth anniversary of the closing of the Merger, the Manager may, in lieu of making payments to the Sub-Manager with respect to the Final Payment, but at the time at which such payments would otherwise be required, deposit such payments into an
interest-bearing escrow arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Sub-Manager. If Cause is finally determined to have occurred prior to the fifth anniversary of the Merger, the amounts then in escrow will be released to the Manager (and the Manager
shall have no further obligation to make payments with respect to the Final Payment). If a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that no Cause occurred prior to the fifth anniversary of the Merger, then the amounts then in escrow will
be released to the Sub-Manager, and the Manager will be responsible for any additional amounts owing in respect of the Final Payment.

of Delaware or, in the case of claims to which the federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States of America, in either case, located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to

action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any proceeding or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any
action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 22. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY

 29. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to be written, administered, interpreted and construed in a manner such that no payments
provided under the Agreement become subject to (a) the gross income inclusion set forth within Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code or (b) the interest and additional tax set forth within Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code (together,
referred to herein as the “Section 409A Penalties”), including, where appropriate, the construction of defined terms to have meanings that would not cause the imposition of Section 409A Penalties. The Sub-Manager expects that the
payments provided under this Agreement will be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code because the Sub-Manager intends to account on an accrual basis for U.S. income tax purposes. If, following the date of this Agreement, the
Sub-Manager reasonably determines that it is no longer advisable for Sub-Manager to account on an accrual basis for U.S. income tax purposes (as a result in a change in applicable laws or regulations or otherwise), or the Sub-Manager reasonably
determines that any payments under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A Penalties, the parties agree to work together in good faith to adopt such amendments to this Agreement as most closely reflects the original intent of the parties
(including amendments with retroactive effect) or take any other commercially reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to (x) exempt each of the payments provided under this Agreement from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the
intended tax treatment of such payments or (y) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance. Each payment provided under this Agreement, including each separate installment of the
Sub-Manager Base Management Fee shall be a separate and distinct payment under this Agreement for all purposes.
