DETERMINATION OF REALIZED TAX BENEFIT


 


Section 2.1 Basis
Adjustments; LLC 754 Election; Revaluation. 


 


(a)
Basis Adjustments. The Parties acknowledge and agree to treat (A) to the fullest extent permitted by law each Direct Exchange
as giving rise to Basis Adjustments and (B) to the fullest extent permitted by law each Redemption using cash or Class A Common
Stock contributed to the LLC by the Corporation as a direct purchase of Units by the Corporation from the applicable Exchange
TRA Holder pursuant to Section 707(a)(2)(B) of the Code as giving rise to Basis Adjustments.


 


(b)
Section 754 Election. The Corporation shall ensure that, on and after the date hereof and continuing throughout the term
of this Agreement, the LLC and each other member of the LLC Group 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).


 


(c)
Revaluation. Pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 1.704-1 of the Treasury Regulations, for U.S. federal income
tax purposes (and any corresponding U.S. state or local tax purposes), the LLC shall revalue its property to fair market value
as of the time of the Business Combination.


 


Section
2.2 Reorganization Transaction Date Attribute Schedule. At least thirty (30) days prior to any Reorganization
Transaction, the relevant Blocker Corporation shall deliver to the Corporation and the TRA Holder Representative an estimated
schedule (the “Estimated Reorganization Transaction Date Attribute Schedule”) of (a) the Blocker
Attributes of each of the Blocker Entities as of December 31 of the calendar year ending immediately prior to the year of the
applicable Reorganization Transaction and as of the date of the applicable Reorganization Transaction and (b) any current or
anticipated (including after the Reorganization) applicable limitations on the use of the Blocker Attributes for tax purposes
(including under Section 382 of the Code). Within ninety (90) days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of
the relevant Blocker Corporation for its short Taxable Year including the Reorganization Transaction, the Corporation, in
consultation with the Advisory Firm, the TRA Holder Representative and the relevant Blocker TRA Holder, shall update the
Estimated Reorganization Transaction Date Attribute Schedule to reflect the actual Blocker Attributes reflected on such Tax
Returns and the Corporation shall deliver such updated schedule (the “Reorganization Transaction Date Attribute
Schedule”) to the TRA Holder Representative and the relevant Blocker TRA Holder. The Reorganization Transaction
Date Attribute Schedule will become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(a)
and may be amended by the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(b). 


 




    	11



    	 



    

 


Section 2.3 Basis
Schedules. Within ninety (90) days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for each
relevant Taxable Year, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Holder Representative a schedule developed in consultation
with the Advisory Firm (the “Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail as necessary in order to
understand the calculations performed under this Agreement: (a) the Basis Adjustments with respect to the Reference Assets as
a result of the relevant Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year, (b) the period (or periods) over which each Basis
Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable, (c) the Non-Adjusted Tax Basis with respect to the Reference Assets described
in clause (a) as of each relevant Exchange, (d) the Common Basis Attributable to the relevant TRA Holder that remains (if
any) and may give rise to payments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (e) the period (or periods) over which the
Common Basis is amortizable and/or depreciable. The Basis Schedule will become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to
the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(a) and may be amended by the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section
2.5(b). 


 


Section
2.4 Tax Benefit Schedules. 


 


(a)
Tax Benefit Schedule. Within ninety (90) days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation
for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, the Corporation shall provide to the
TRA Holder Representative a schedule developed in consultation with the Advisory Firm showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation
of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The
Tax Benefit Schedule will become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(a), and
may be amended by the Parties pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(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 liability of the Corporation for Covered Taxes
for such Taxable Year attributable to the Basis Adjustments, Common Basis, Blocker Attributes, and Imputed Interest, as determined
using a “with and without” methodology described in Section 2.5(a). Carryovers, carryforwards, or carrybacks, of any
tax item attributable to any Basis Adjustment, Common Basis, Blocker Attributes, or Imputed Interest or any other tax item in
respect thereof shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions
of U.S. state or local tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation, and expiration of carryovers, carryforwards, carrybacks,
or other tax items of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any tax item includes a portion that is attributable to
any Basis Adjustments, Common Basis, Blocker Attributes, or Imputed Interest (a “TRA Portion”) and another
portion that is not (a “Non-TRA Portion”), such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with
the “with and without” methodology so that: (i) the amount of any Non-TRA Portion is deemed utilized first, followed
by the amount of any TRA Portion (calculated by taking into account the provisions of Section 3.3(a) to the extent applicable);
and (ii) in the case of a carryback of a Non-TRA Portion, such carryback shall not affect the original “with and without”
calculation made in the prior Taxable Year. The Parties agree to treat (i) all Tax Benefit Payments (other than Imputed Interest)
solely to the extent attributable to an Exchange and to the extent permitted by applicable law (A) as subsequent upward purchase
price adjustments that give rise to further Basis Adjustments in respect of an applicable Exchange and (B) have the effect of
creating additional Basis Adjustments arising in the Taxable Year in which the applicable Tax Benefit Payment is made and (ii)
as a result, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any additional Basis Adjustments arising from such a Tax Benefit Payment
shall be treated as giving rise to a Basis Adjustment in the Taxable Year in which the Tax Benefit Payment is made on an iterative
basis continuing until any incremental Basis Adjustment is immaterial as reasonably determined by the TRA Holder Representative
and the Corporation in good faith and in consultation with the Advisory Firm.

Section
2.5 Procedures; Amendments. 


 


(a)
Procedures. Each time the Corporation delivers an applicable Schedule to the TRA Holder Representative, under this Agreement,
including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early
Termination Schedule delivered pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 4.2, the Corporation shall also: (x) deliver supporting
schedules and work papers from an Advisory Firm and any additional materials as reasonably requested by the TRA Holder Representative
that are reasonably necessary in order to understand the calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Schedule;
and (y) allow the TRA Holder Representative and its advisors to have reasonable access to the appropriate representatives, as
reasonably requested by the TRA Holder Representative, at the Corporation and the applicable Advisory Firm in connection with
a review of such Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall ensure that any Tax
Benefit Schedule that is delivered to the TRA Holder Representative, along with any supporting schedules and work papers, provides
a reasonably detailed presentation of the calculation of the actual liability of the Corporation for Covered Taxes (the “with”
calculation) and the Hypothetical Tax Liability of the Corporation (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 forty-five (45) days from the date on which the TRA Holder
Representative first receives the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless:


 


(i)
the TRA Holder Representative within forty-five (45) days after receiving the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, or any
TRA Holder impacted by the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Corporation with written notice of a material
objection to such Schedule that is made in good faith and that sets forth in reasonable detail the TRA Holder Representative or
TRA Holder’s material objection (an “Objection Notice”) or


 


(ii)
the TRA Holder Representative provides 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 waiver from the TRA Representative
is received by the Corporation.


 




    	13



    	 



    

 


In
the event that the TRA Holder Representative or any TRA Holder timely delivers an Objection Notice pursuant to clause (i) above,
and if the Corporation and the TRA Holder Representative or applicable TRA Holder(s), for any reason, are unable to successfully
resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice through good faith discussions within thirty (30) days after receipt by the
Corporation of the Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Holder Representative or applicable TRA Holders shall employ
the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.9 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).


 


(b)
Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the Corporation: (i)
in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule; (ii) to correct material 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 TRA Holder Representative; (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 Agreement
(any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).


 


Article
III.

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS


 


Section 3.1 Timing
and Amount of Tax Benefit Payments. 


 


(a)
Timing of Payments. Except as provided in Sections 3.4, and subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, within three (3) Business
Days following the date on which each Tax Benefit Schedule that is required to be delivered by the Corporation to the TRA Holder
Representative pursuant to Section 2.4(a) of this Agreement becomes final in accordance with Section 2.5(a) of this Agreement,
the Corporation shall pay to each relevant TRA Holder the Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b) that is
Attributable to the relevant TRA Holder. Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Holder or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and such TRA Holder.
For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the Corporation’s ability to make offsets against Tax Benefit Payments with
respect to a particular TRA Holder to the extent permitted by Section 3.5, the TRA Holders shall not be required under any circumstances
to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously paid by the Corporation to the TRA Holders (including any portion
of any Estimated Tax Benefit Payment or any Early Termination Payment).


 




    	14



    	 



    

 


(b)
Amount of Payments. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Tax Benefit Payment” with respect to any TRA
Holder means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of: (i) the portion of the Net Tax Benefit that is Attributable to
such TRA Holder (including Imputed Interest, if any, calculated in respect of such amount); and (ii) the Actual Interest Amount
and any Default Rate Interest with respect to the Net Tax Benefit described in (i).


 


(i)
Attributable. A Net Tax Benefit is “Attributable” to (A) an Exchange TRA Holder to the extent that it
is derived from any Common Basis, Basis Adjustment, or Imputed Interest, that is attributable to such Exchange TRA Holder (whether
through an Exchange or otherwise, which in the case of Common Basis shall be based on the Common Basis attributable to such Exchange
TRA Holder’s LLC Units subject to a given Exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of immediately prior to the applicable
Exchange(s)), and (B) any Blocker TRA Holder to the extent that it is derived from any Common Basis, Blocker Attributes, or Imputed
Interest (whether attributable to a Reorganization Transaction in respect of such Blocker TRA Holder’s interest in a Blocker
Corporation, the Units held by such Blocker Corporation, or otherwise, which in the case of Common Basis shall be based on the
Common Basis attributable to such Blocker TRA Holder’s (direct or indirect (through a Blocker Corporation)) LLC Units included
in a Reorganization Transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of immediately prior to such Reorganization Transaction),
in the case of each of (A) and (B), determined without regard to any dilutive or antidilutive effect of any contribution to or
distribution from the LLC after an applicable Exchange or Reorganization Transaction.


 


(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 as of the end of such Taxable Year over (y) the aggregate amount of all Tax
Benefit Payments previously made under this Section 3.1. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the Corporation’s
ability to make offsets against Tax Benefit Payments with respect to a particular TRA Holder to the extent permitted by Section
3.5, 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, no TRA Holder shall be required to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously
made by the Corporation to such TRA Holder.


 


(iii)
Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit. The “Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year equals
the cumulative amount of Realized Tax Benefits for all Taxable Years of the Corporation, up to and including such Taxable Year,
net of the cumulative amount of Realized Tax Detriments for the same periods. The Realized Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment
for each Taxable Year shall be determined based on the most recent Tax Benefit Schedule or Amended Schedule, if any, in existence
at the time of such determination. The computation of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit shall be adjusted to reflect any
applicable Determination with respect to any Realized Tax Benefits and/or Realized Tax Detriments.


 


(iv)
Realized Tax Benefit. The “Realized Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year equals the excess, if any, of (a)
the Hypothetical Tax Liability over (b) the actual liability of the Corporation for Covered Taxes; provided, that for purposes
of determining the Hypothetical Tax Liability and actual liability of the Corporation for Covered Taxes, the Corporation shall
use the Assumed State and Local Tax Rate for purposes of determining such liabilities for all state and local Covered Taxes. For
the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Hypothetical Tax Liability and the actual liability of the Corporation for Covered
Taxes shall take into account any U.S. federal income tax benefit, if any, received by the Corporation with respect to state and
local jurisdiction income taxes (with such benefit taking into account the Corporation’s marginal U.S. federal income tax
rate for the relevant Taxable Year, the Assumed State and Local Tax Rate, and the deductibility, if any, of state and local jurisdiction
income taxes). If all or a portion of the actual liability for such Covered Taxes for the Taxable Year arises as a result of an
audit by a Taxing Authority of any Taxable Year, such liability shall not be included in determining the Realized Tax Benefit
unless and until there has been a Determination.


 




    	15



    	 



    

 


(v)
Realized Tax Detriment. The “Realized Tax Detriment” for a Taxable Year equals the excess, if any, of
the actual liability of the Corporation for Covered Taxes over the Hypothetical Tax Liability for such Taxable Year; provided,
that for purposes of determining the Hypothetical Tax Liability and actual liability of the Corporation for Covered Taxes, the
Corporation shall use the Assumed State and Local Tax Rate for purposes of determining such liabilities for all state and local
Covered Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Hypothetical Tax Liability and the actual liability of the Corporation
for Covered Taxes shall take into account any U.S. federal income tax benefit received by the Corporation with respect to state
and local jurisdiction income taxes (with such benefit taking into account the Corporation’s marginal U.S. federal income
tax rate for the relevant Taxable Year, the Assumed State and Local Tax Rate, and the deductibility, if any, of state and local
jurisdiction income taxes). If all or a portion of the actual liability for such Covered Taxes for the Taxable Year arises as
a result of an audit 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.


 


(vi)
Imputed Interest. The Parties acknowledge that 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 tax law, may, as applicable, apply to cause a portion of any
payments by the Corporation to a TRA Holder under this Agreement to be treated as imputed interest (“Imputed Interest”).
For the avoidance of doubt, the deduction for the amount of Imputed Interest, if any, as determined with respect to any payments
made by the Corporation to a TRA Holder shall be excluded in determining the Hypothetical Tax Liability of the Corporation for
purposes of calculating Realized Tax Benefits and Realized Tax Detriments pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(vii)
Actual Interest Amount. Subject to Section 3.4, the “Actual Interest Amount” calculated in respect of
the Net Tax Benefit for a Taxable Year, will equal an amount equal to interest calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date
(without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for such Taxable Year until the date on
which the Corporation makes a timely Tax Benefit Payment to the TRA Holder on or before the Final Payment Date as determined pursuant
to Section 3.1(a).


 


(viii)
Default Rate Interest. In accordance with Section 5.2, in the event that the Corporation does not make timely payment of
all or any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment to a TRA Holder on or before the Final Payment Date as determined pursuant to Section
3.1(a), the amount of any “Default Rate Interest” calculated and payable in accordance with Section 5.2 (if any) in
respect of the Tax Benefit Payment (including previously accrued Imputed Interest and Actual Interest Amounts) for a Taxable Year
will equal interest calculated at the Default Rate from the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant
to Section 3.1(a) until the date on which the Corporation makes such Tax Benefit Payment to such TRA Holder.


 




    	16



    	 



    

 


(ix)
The Corporation and the TRA Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of
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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
with respect to each Exchange by any TRA Holder, if such TRA Holder notifies the Corporation in writing of a stated maximum selling
price (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 15A.453-1(c)(2)) to be applied with respect to such Exchange, the amount of the
initial consideration received in connection with such Exchange and the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments to such TRA Holder in respect
of such Exchange (other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code) shall not exceed such stated maximum selling price.


 


(c)
Interest. The provisions of Section 3.1(b) and Section 5.2 in respect of Default Rate Interest are intended to operate
so that interest will effectively accrue (or in the case of Imputed Interest be treated as accruing solely for U.S. federal income
or applicable state or local income tax purposes) in respect of the Net Tax Benefit (or Tax Benefit Payment in respect of any
Actual Interest Amount or Default Rate Interest) for any Taxable Year as follows:


 


(i)
first, solely for U.S. federal income or applicable state or local income tax purposes, at the applicable rate used to determine
the amount of Imputed Interest under the Code (from the relevant Exchange Date or Reorganization Transaction Date until the due
date (without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for such Taxable Year and, if required
under applicable law, through the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined pursuant to Section 3.1(a));


 


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


 


(iii)
third, in accordance with Section 5.2, at the Default Rate (from the Final Payment Date for a Tax Benefit Payment as determined
pursuant to Section 3.1(a) until the date on which the Corporation makes the relevant Tax Benefit Payment to the applicable TRA
Holder).


 


Section
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. 


 




    	17



    	 



    

 


Section 3.3 Pro-Ration
of Payments as Between the TRA Holders. 


 


(a)
Insufficient Taxable Income. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1(b) to the contrary, if the aggregate potential depreciation,
amortization or other tax benefit in respect of the Basis Adjustments, Blocker Attributes, Imputed Interest, Actual Interest Amounts,
and Default Rate Interest for purposes of determining the Corporation’s liability for Covered Taxes (the “Covered
Tax Benefit”) is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporation does not have sufficient taxable income,
then the available Covered Tax Benefit for the Corporation shall be allocated among the TRA Holders in proportion to the respective
Tax Benefit Payments that would have been payable if the Corporation had in fact had sufficient taxable income and there had been
no such limitation. As an illustration of the intended operation of this Section 3.3(a), if the Corporation had $200 of aggregate
potential Covered Tax Benefits in a particular Taxable Year (with $50 of such Covered Tax Benefits being attributable to TRA Holder
1 and $150 of such Covered Tax Benefits being attributable to TRA Holder 2), such that TRA Holder 1 would have potentially been
entitled to a Tax Benefit Payment of $10.62 and TRA Holder 2 would have been entitled to a Tax Benefit Payment of $31.87 if the
Corporation had $200 of actual taxable income (assuming for purposes of this illustration a 25% tax rate), and if the Corporation
in fact (for purposes of this illustration) only had $100 of actual taxable income in such Taxable Year, then $25 of the aggregate
$100 actual Covered Tax Benefit for the Corporation for such Taxable Year would be allocated to TRA Holder 1 and $75 of the aggregate
$100 actual Covered Tax benefit for the Corporation would be allocated to TRA Holder 2, such that TRA Holder 1 would receive a
Tax Benefit Payment of $5.31 and TRA Holder 2 would receive a Tax Benefit Payment of $15.94. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Section 3.1(b), in no event will the aggregate of the portions of the Net Tax Benefit that are “Attributable” to
the TRA Holders exceed 100% of the Net Tax Benefit.


 


(b)
Late Payments. If for any reason the Corporation 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
and the Corporation and other Parties agree that (i) the Corporation shall pay the Tax Benefit Payments due in respect of such
Taxable Year to each TRA Holder pro rata in proportion to the amount of such Tax Benefit Payments, 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 to
all TRA Holders in respect of all prior Taxable Years have been made in full.


 




    	18



    	 



    

 


Section 3.4 Optional
Estimated Tax Benefit Payment Procedure. As long as the Corporation is current in respect of its payment obligations owed
to each TRA Holder pursuant to this Agreement and there are no delinquent Tax Benefit Payments (including interest thereon)
outstanding in respect of prior Taxable Years for any TRA Holder, the Corporation may, at any time on or after the due date
(without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for a Taxable Year and at the
Corporation’s option, in its sole discretion, make one or more estimated payments to the TRA Holders in respect of any
anticipated amounts to be owed with respect to a Taxable Year to the TRA Holders pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement
(any such estimated payment referred to as an “Estimated Tax Benefit Payment”); provided that any
Estimated Tax Benefit Payment made to a TRA Holder pursuant to this Section 3.4 is matched by a proportionately equal
Estimated Tax Benefit Payment to all other TRA Holders then entitled to a Tax Benefit Payment. Any Estimated Tax Benefit
Payment made under this Section 3.4 shall be paid by the Corporation to the TRA Holders and applied against the final amount
of any Tax Benefit Payment to be made pursuant to Section 3.1. The payment of an Estimated Tax Benefit Payment by the
Corporation to the TRA Holders pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall also terminate the obligation of the Corporation to make
payment of any Actual Interest Amount that might have otherwise accrued with respect to the proportionate amount of the Tax
Benefit Payment that is being paid in advance of the applicable Tax Benefit Schedule being finalized pursuant to Section 2.5.
Upon the making of any Estimated Tax Benefit Payment pursuant to this Section 3.4, the amount of such Estimated Tax Benefit
Payment shall first be applied to any estimated Actual Interest Amount, and then applied to the remaining residual amount of
the Tax Benefit Payment to be made pursuant to Section 3.1. In determining the final amount of any Tax Benefit Payment to be
made pursuant to Section 3.1, and for purposes of finalizing the Tax Benefit Schedule pursuant to Section 2.5, the amount of
any Estimated Tax Benefit Payments that may have been made with respect to the Taxable Year shall be increased if the finally
determined Tax Benefit Payment for a Taxable Year exceeds the Estimated Tax Benefit Payments made for such Taxable Year, with
such increase being paid by the Corporation to the TRA Holders along with an appropriate Actual Interest Amount (and any
Default Rate Interest) in respect of the amount of such increase (a “True-Up”). If the Estimated Tax
Benefit Payment to a TRA Holder for a Taxable Year exceeds the finally determined Tax Benefit Payment to the TRA Holder for
such Taxable Year, such excess shall be applied to reduce the amount of any subsequent future Tax Benefit Payments (including
Estimated Tax Benefit Payments, if any) to be paid by the Corporation to such TRA Holder. As of the date on which any
Estimated Tax Benefit Payments are made, and as of the date on which any True-Up is made, all such payments shall be made in
the same manner and subject to the same terms and conditions as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.1 and all other
applicable terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, as is the case with Tax Benefit Payments made by the
Corporation to the TRA Holders pursuant to Section 3.1, the Parties intend to treat the amount of any Estimated Tax Benefit
Payments made pursuant to this Section 3.4 that are attributable to an Exchange in part as subsequent upward purchase price
adjustments that give rise to Basis Adjustments in the Taxable Year of payment to the extent permitted by applicable law and
as of the date on which such payments are made (exclusive of any amounts treated as Imputed Interest); provided that
any additional Basis Adjustments arising from an Estimated Tax Benefit Payment will be determined on an iterative basis
continuing until any incremental Basis Adjustment is immaterial as determined by the TRA Holder Representative and the
Corporation in good faith and in consultation with the Advisory Firm. 


 


Section
3.5 Overpayments. To the extent the Corporation makes any Tax Benefit Payment to a TRA Holder in respect of a particular
Taxable Year in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to such TRA Holder in respect of
such Taxable Year (taking into account this Article III) under the terms of this Agreement, then such excess shall be applied
to reduce the amount of any subsequent future Tax Benefit Payments (including Estimated Tax Benefit Payments, if any) to be paid
by the Corporation to such TRA Holder and such TRA Holder shall not receive any further Tax Benefit Payments (including Estimated
Tax Benefit Payments, if any) until such TRA Holder has foregone an amount of Tax Benefit Payments equal to such excess. The amount
of any excess Tax Benefit Payment shall be deemed to have been paid by the Corporation to the relevant TRA Holders on the original
due date for the filing of the subsequent Tax Return to which the excess Tax Benefit Payment relates for purposes of determining
the Actual Interest Amount to which such relevant TRA Holders shall be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, the TRA Holders shall not be required, under any circumstances, to return any portion
of any Tax Benefit Payment previously paid by the Corporation to the TRA Holders (including any portion of any Estimated Tax Benefit
Payment or any Early Termination Payment).

Article
IV.

TERMINATION


 


Section
4.1 Early Termination of Agreement; Breach of Agreement. 


 


(a)
Corporation’s Early Termination Right. The Corporation may completely terminate this Agreement, as and to the extent
provided herein, with respect to all amounts payable to the TRA Holders pursuant to this Agreement by paying to the TRA Holders
the Early Termination Payments; provided that Early Termination Payments may be made pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) only
if made to all TRA Holders that are entitled to such a payment, and provided further, that the Corporation may withdraw
any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment
has been paid. Upon the Corporation’s payment of the Early Termination Payments, the Corporation 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 that remain unpaid as of
the payment of the Early Termination Payments (which Tax Benefit Payments shall not be included in the Early Termination Payments);
and (ii) current Tax Benefit Payments 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 Payments
or is included in clause (i)) that remain unpaid as of the payment of the Early Termination Payments. If an Exchange or Reorganization
Transaction subsequently occurs with respect to Units (including Units held by Blocker Entities) for which the Corporation has
exercised its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) and paid all amounts owed in connection with the exercise of such rights,
the Corporation shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange or Reorganization Transaction.


 


(b)
Acceleration Upon Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the TRA Holder Representative shall have the
option, by written notice to the Corporation, to cause the acceleration of all unpaid payment obligations of the Corporation hereunder
as 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, without
duplication, but not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payments calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered
on the closing date of the Change of Control, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payments agreed to by the Corporation and the TRA Holders as
due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice (which Tax Benefit Payments shall not be included in the Early Termination
Payments) and that remain unpaid as of the payment of the Early Termination Payments, and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payments due for
any Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the closing date of a Change of Control unpaid as of the Early Termination
Notice (except to the extent that any amounts described in clause (iii) are included in the Early Termination Payments or are
included in clause (ii)) and that remain unpaid as of the payment of the Early Termination Payments. For the avoidance of doubt,
Sections 4.2 and 4.3 shall apply to a Change of Control, mutadis mutandis.

(c)
Acceleration Upon Breach of Agreement. In the event that the Corporation materially breaches any of its material obligations
under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation
required hereunder, or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under Title 11 of
the United States Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or otherwise, then, at the option
of the TRA Holder Representative, all obligations of the Corporation hereunder shall be accelerated and become immediately due
and payable upon notice of acceleration from the TRA Holder Representative (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 Payments 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 (which Tax Benefit Payments shall not be included in the Early Termination Payments)
and that remain unpaid as of the payment of the Early Termination Payments; and (iii) any current Tax Benefit Payments due for
the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such acceleration (except to the extent included in the Early Termination
Payments or in clause (ii)) and that remain unpaid as of the payment of the Early Termination Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that the Corporation breaches this Agreement and such breach is not a material breach of a material obligation, the
TRA Holder Representative and each TRA Holder shall still be entitled to enforce all of its rights otherwise available under this
Agreement, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, seeking or otherwise obtaining an acceleration of amounts payable under this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1(c). For purposes of this Section 4.1(c), and subject to the following sentence, the Parties
agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within sixty (60) days of the relevant Final Payment
Date 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 sixty (60) days of the relevant Final Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, it shall not be a material breach of a material obligation of this Agreement if the Corporation fails to make
any Tax Benefit Payment within sixty (60) days of the relevant Final Payment Date to the extent that the Corporation has insufficient
funds or cannot make such payment as a result of obligations imposed in connection with the Senior Obligations or under applicable
law, and cannot obtain sufficient funds to make such payments by taking commercially reasonable actions or would become insolvent
as a result of making such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment (unless
the Corporation 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); and further provided that such
payment obligation shall nonetheless accrue for the benefit of the TRA Holders and the Corporation shall make such payment at
the first opportunity that it has sufficient funds and is otherwise able to make such payment.

Section
4.2 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1 above,
the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Holder Representative a notice of the Corporation’s decision to exercise such right
(an “Early Termination Notice”). Upon delivery of the Early Termination Notice or the occurrence of an event
described in Section 4.1(b) or (c) (or an early termination pursuant to Section 4.1(d)), the Corporation shall deliver a schedule
developed in consultation with the Advisory Firm (the “Early Termination Schedule”) showing in reasonable detail
the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. The Corporation shall also (x) deliver to the TRA Holder Representative supporting
schedules and work papers from an Advisory Firm and any additional materials reasonably requested by the TRA Holder Representative
that are reasonably necessary in order to understand the calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Early Termination
Schedule; and (y) allow the TRA Holder Representative and its advisors to have reasonable access to the appropriate representatives
at the Corporation and the applicable Advisory Firm as determined by the Corporation or as reasonably requested by the TRA Holder
Representative, 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) days from the first date on which the TRA Holder Representative received such Early
Termination Schedule unless: 


 


(i)
the TRA Holder Representative within forty-five (45) days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the Corporation
with notice of a material objection to such Early Termination Schedule made in good faith and setting forth in reasonable detail
the TRA Holder Representative’s material objection (a “Termination Objection Notice”); or


 


(ii)
the TRA Holder Representative 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 the TRA Holder
Representative is received by the Corporation.


 


In
the event that the TRA Holder Representative 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) days after receipt by the Corporation of the Termination Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Holder Representative
shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. The date on which the Early Termination Schedule becomes final in accordance with
this Section 4.2 shall be the “Early Termination Reference Date.”


 


Section
4.3 Payment Upon Early Termination. 


 


(a)
Timing of Payment. Within three (3) Business Days after the Early Termination Reference Date, the Corporation shall pay
to each TRA Holder an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment for such TRA Holder. Such Early Termination Payment shall
be made by the Corporation by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by such TRA
Holder or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and such TRA Holder.


 




    	22



    	 



    

 


(b)
Amount of Payment. The “Early Termination Payment” payable to a TRA Holder pursuant to and subject to
Section 4.3(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 (and which have not yet been paid prior to the Early
Termination Effective Date) by the Corporation to such TRA Holder, whether payable with respect to Units that were Exchanged prior
to the Early Termination Effective Date or on or after the Early Termination Effective Date (including Units held by Blocker Corporations
that have not consummated a Reorganization Transaction, in which case, the relevant Blocker Corporation shall be treated as having
Exchanged its Units in the manner set forth in the Valuation Assumptions and shall be treated as an Exchange TRA Holder (and not
a Blocker TRA Holder) with respect to such Units), beginning from the Early Termination Effective Date and using the Valuation
Assumptions.


 


Article
V.

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS


 


Section
5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payments or
Early Termination Payments required to be made by the Corporation to the TRA Holders 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 the Corporation and its Subsidiaries
(“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all current or future
unsecured obligations of the Corporation 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 TRA Holders and the
Corporation shall make any such payments at the first opportunity that such payments are permitted to be made in accordance
with the terms of the Senior Obligations. Furthermore, each TRA Holder shall enter into any subordination agreements in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the TRA Holder Representative in order to effectuate the purposes of this Section
5.1. 


 


Section
5.2 Late Payments by the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the amount of all or any portion of
any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment not made to the TRA Holders when due under the terms of this Agreement shall
be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the Final Payment Date on which
such Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment was first due and payable to the date of actual payment of such Tax Benefit
Payment or Early Termination Payment; provided that if any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment is not made
to the TRA Holders when due under the terms of this Agreement as a result of Section 5.1 and the terms of the agreements governing
Senior Obligations, any such interest shall be computed at the Agreed Rate and not the Default Rate.

Section
6.1 Participation in the Corporation’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall
have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all tax matters concerning the Corporation and its Subsidiaries
including without limitation the preparation, filing, or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any
audit, contest, or other proceeding pertaining to Taxes; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not
settle or fail to contest any issue pertaining to Covered Taxes that is reasonably expected to materially and adversely
affect the TRA Holders’ rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the TRA Holder
Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Corporation shall notify the TRA Holder
Representative of, and keep it reasonably informed with respect to, the any tax audit or other tax contest of the Corporation
the outcome of which is reasonably expected to reduce or defer the Tax Benefit Payments payable to any TRA Holder under this
Agreement and the TRA Holder Representative, and any affected TRA Holder, shall have the right to (i) discuss with the
Corporation, and provide input and comment to the Corporation regarding, any portion of any such tax audit or other tax
contest and (ii) participate in, at the affected TRA Holders’ and TRA Holder Representative’s expense, any such
portion of any such tax audit or other tax contest to the extent it relates to issues the resolution of which would
reasonably be expected to reduce or defer the Tax Benefit Payments payable to any TRA Holder under this Agreement. To the
extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and either the Equity Purchase Agreement or the LLC Agreement relating to
tax matters concerning Covered Taxes and the Corporation, including preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and
defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to taxes, this Agreement shall control solely with respect to the
matters governed by this Agreement. 


 


Section
6.2 Consistency. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, all calculations and determinations made hereunder,
including, without limitation, any Basis Adjustments, the determination of any deductions arising from Common Basis, the
Schedules or the determination of any Realized Tax Benefits or Realized Tax Detriments, shall be made in accordance with the
elections, methodologies or positions taken by the Corporation and the LLC on their respective Tax Returns. Each TRA Holder
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, without limitation, the Schedules provided under this Agreement, unless
otherwise required by applicable law. In the event that an Advisory Firm or Expert is used and is replaced with another
Advisory Firm or Expert, such replacement Advisory Firm or Expert shall perform its services under this Agreement using
procedures and methodologies consistent with the previous Advisory Firm or Expert, unless otherwise required by applicable
law or unless the Corporation and the TRA Holder Representative agree to the use of other procedures and
methodologies.

Section
6.3 Cooperation. The TRA Holder Representative and each TRA Holder, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand,
shall (i) furnish to the other in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the other may reasonably
request for purposes of making, reviewing, or approving any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under or with
respect to this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination, controversy or other proceeding
with any Taxing Authority, or estimating any future Tax Benefit Payments hereunder, (ii) make itself available to the other and
its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as may be reasonably requested
in connection with any of the matters described in clause (i) above, and (iii) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such
matter. Subject to Section 6.1, the Corporation shall provide reasonable assistance as reasonably requested by the TRA Holder
Representative on behalf of any TRA Holder in connection with such TRA Holder’s tax returns or financial reporting materials
that are required to be prepared under applicable law or contract and/or the consummation of any assignment or transfer of any
of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, providing any information or executing any
documentation. The requesting Party shall reimburse the other Party for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by such other Party pursuant to Section 6.3(a).

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

Section
7.6 Assignments; Amendments; Successors; No Waiver. 


 


(a)
Assignment. Each TRA Holder 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, without the consent of the Corporation, to any Person;
provided such Person executes and delivers a Joinder agreeing to succeed to the applicable portion of such TRA Holder’s
interest in this Agreement and to become a Party and TRA Holder for all purposes of this Agreement (the “Joinder Requirement”).
For the avoidance of doubt, if a TRA Holder transfers Units in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement but does not assign
to the transferee of such Units its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units, such TRA Holder shall
continue to be entitled to receive the Tax Benefit Payments arising in respect of a subsequent Exchange of such Units (and any
such transferred Units shall be separately identified, so as to facilitate the determination of Tax Benefit Payments hereunder).
The Corporation may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person (other than any direct or indirect
successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the
Corporation) without the prior written consent of each of the TRA Holders (and any purported assignment without such consent shall
be null and void).


 


(b)
Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by (i) the Corporation,
(ii) the TRA Holder Representative, and (iii) TRA Holders who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the Early Termination
Payments payable to all TRA Holders in the event the Corporation exercised its rights pursuant to Section 4.1(a) as of the later
of the most recent Exchange Date or the most recent Reorganization Transaction, in which case such amendment shall be permitted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment would have a disproportionate adverse impact
on the payments certain TRA Holders will or may receive under this Agreement unless all such disproportionately impacted TRA Holders
consent in writing to such amendment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No provision of this
Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.


 


(c)
Successors. Except as provided in Section 7.6(a), 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. The Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written
agreement, expressly to (i) assume and agree to perform this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation
would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place and (ii) become a Party to this Agreement.


 


(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.

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


 


Section 7.8 Resolution
of Disputes. 


 


(a)
Except for Reconciliation Disputes subject to Section 7.9, any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any
ancillary claims of any Party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation,
performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision)
(each a “Dispute”) shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the International Institute
for Conflict Prevention and Resolution Rules for Administered Arbitration (the “Rules”) by three arbitrators,
of which the Corporation shall appoint one arbitrator and the TRA Holders party to such Dispute shall appoint one arbitrator in
accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in 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 New York, New York.


 


(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 7.9.


 


(c)
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.


 


(d)
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).


 


(e)
In the event the parties are unable to agree whether a dispute between them is a Reconciliation Dispute subject to the dispute
resolution procedure set forth in Section 7.9 or a Dispute subject to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in this Section
7.8, such disagreement shall be decided and resolved in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Section 7.8.


 




    	28



    	 



    

 


Section 7.9 Reconciliation.
In the event that the Corporation and the TRA Holder Representative (or any applicable TRA Holder) are unable to resolve a
disagreement with respect to a Schedule prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5, or with respect
to an Early Termination Schedule prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.2, 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 the disputing Parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally
recognized accounting firm, and unless the Corporation and the TRA Holder Representative (or any applicable TRA Holder) agree
otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the
Corporation, the TRA Holder Representative (or any applicable TRA Holder) or other actual or potential conflict of interest.
If the disputing Parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) 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 the Corporation, the TRA Holder Representative (or any applicable TRA Holder) or other actual or potential
conflict of interest. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to any Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early
Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit
Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case
after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is
not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or
any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by
this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon
resolution. The Corporation and the applicable TRA Holder(s) shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding,
unless (i) the Expert adopts the TRA Holder Representative or applicable TRA Holder(s)’s position, in which case the
Corporation shall reimburse the TRA Holder Representative or applicable TRA Holder(s) for any reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding (including for the avoidance of doubt any costs and expenses incurred by
the TRA Holder Representative or any applicable TRA Holder(s) relating to the engagement of the Expert or amending any
applicable Tax Return), or (ii) the Expert adopts the Corporation’s position, in which case the applicable TRA
Holder(s) (or the TRA Holder Representative on behalf of such TRA Holder(s)) shall reimburse the Corporation for any
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding (including for the avoidance of doubt costs and
expenses incurred by the Corporation relating to the engagement of the Expert or amending any applicable Tax Return). The
Corporation may withhold payments under this Agreement to collect amounts due under the preceding sentence. The Expert shall
finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be
binding on the Corporation, the TRA Holder Representative and the TRA Holders and may be entered and enforced in any court
having competent jurisdiction.

Section
7.10 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Corporation, or any other applicable withholding agent,
shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause there to be deduction or withholding), from any payment that is payable to
any TRA Holder (or any other person) pursuant to this Agreement any taxes or other amounts as the Corporation or other applicable
withholding agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any such payment under the Code or any provision
of U.S. state, local or foreign tax law or other applicable tax law. Any such deducted or withheld taxes or other amounts, to
the extent paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority or other governmental entity shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid by the Corporation (and/or other applicable withholding agent) to the relevant TRA Holder or other
person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Each TRA Holder or other recipient of any payments hereunder
shall provide the Corporation with any applicable tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8,
as applicable, or any other information or certifications reasonably requested by the Corporation or other applicable withholding
agent in connection with determining whether any such deductions and withholdings are required under the Code or any provision
of U.S. state, local or foreign tax law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a withholding obligation arises as a result of a Change
of Control or other transaction that causes the Corporation (or its successor) to become a non-U.S. Person (for U.S. federal income
tax purpose), any amount payable to a TRA Holder under this Agreement shall be increased such that after all required deductions
and withholdings have been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this sentence)
the relevant TRA Holder receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings
been made. 


 


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


 


(a)
If the Corporation is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income
Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 or other applicable Sections of the Code governing affiliated or consolidated groups, or any
corresponding provisions of U.S. state or local tax law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect
to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments, and other applicable items hereunder shall
be computed with reference to the consolidated Covered Taxes of the group as a whole.


 


(b)
If the Corporation, its successor in interest or any member of a group described in Section 7.11(a) or any member of the LLC Group
transfers one or more Reference Assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes)
with which such entity does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes
of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed
of such Reference 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 fair market value of the transferred Reference Asset as determined by a valuation expert mutually
agreed upon by the Corporation and the TRA Holder Representative plus, without duplication, (i) the amount of debt to which any
such Reference Assets is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered Reference Asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated
to any such Reference Asset, in the case of a transfer of a partnership interest. For purposes of this Section 7.11, a transfer
of a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities
of that partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Corporation, its successor in interest
or any member of a group described in Section 7.11(a), transfers its assets pursuant to a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization”
(within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code) in which such entity does not survive or pursuant to any other transaction,
in each case, to which Section 381(a) of the Code applies (other than any such reorganization or any such other transaction, in
each case, pursuant to which such entity transfers assets to a corporation with which the Corporation, its successor in interest
or any member of the group described in Section 7.11(a) (other than any such member being transferred in such reorganization or
other transaction) does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code), the transfer will not cause
such entity to be treated as having transferred any assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S.
income tax purposes) pursuant to this Section 7.11(b).

Section 7.12 Change
in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, as a result of or, in connection with an actual or proposed
change in law, a TRA Holder reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause adverse tax consequences to
such TRA Holder or any direct or indirect owner of such TRA Holder, then at the written election of such TRA Holder in its
sole discretion (in an instrument signed by such TRA Holder and delivered to the Corporation and the TRA Holder
Representative) and to the extent specified therein by such TRA Holder, this Agreement shall cease to have further effect and
shall not apply to such TRA Holder after a date specified by such TRA Holder. 


 


Section
7.13 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 TRA Holder hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any TRA Holder shall receive interest in an amount that
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the Tax Benefit Payment, Estimated Tax Benefit Payment or Early
Termination Payment, as applicable (but in each case exclusive of any component thereof comprising interest) or, if it exceeds
such unpaid non-interest amount, refunded to the Corporation. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received by any TRA Holder exceeds the Maximum Rate, such TRA Holder 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 the Corporation to such TRA Holder hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is the intention of the Parties to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. 


 


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

Section
7.15 LLC Agreement. This Agreement shall be treated as part of the 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. 


 


Section 7.16 TRA
Holder Representative. By executing this Agreement, each of the TRA Holders shall be deemed to have irrevocably
constituted and appointed Thomas Severson (in the capacity described in this Section 7.16 and each successor as provided
below, the “TRA Holder Representative”) as its agent and attorney in fact with full power of substitution
to act from and after the date hereof and to do any and all things and execute any and all documents on behalf of such TRA
Holders which may be necessary, convenient or appropriate to facilitate any matters under this Agreement, including but not
limited to, and unless otherwise provided by this Agreement: (i) execution of the documents and certificates required
pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) receipt and forwarding of notices and communications pursuant to this Agreement; (iv)
administration of the provisions of this Agreement; (v) giving or agreeing to, on behalf of such TRA Holders, any and all
consents, waivers, amendments or modifications deemed by the TRA Holder Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion,
to be necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and the execution or delivery of any documents that may be necessary or
appropriate in connection therewith; (vi) taking actions the TRA Holder Representative is expressly authorized to take
pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement; (vii) negotiating and compromising, on behalf of such TRA Holders, any
dispute that may arise under, and exercising or refraining from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement or
any other agreement contemplated hereby and executing, on behalf of such TRA Holders, any settlement agreement, release or
other document with respect to such dispute or remedy; (viii) engaging attorneys, accountants, agents or consultants on
behalf of such TRA Holders in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby and paying any fees
related thereto; and (ix) effectuating the purposes of Section 5.1 (Subordination). If the TRA Holder Representative
is unwilling to so serve, then the person then-serving as the TRA Holder Representative shall be entitled to appoint its
successor which such successor shall be subject to the approval of a majority of the TRA Holders. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, none of the TRA Holder Representative, any of its Affiliates, or any of the TRA Holder
Representative’s or Affiliate’s directors, officers, employees or other agents (each a “Covered
Person”) shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to any TRA Holder, the LLC, or the
Corporation for damages arising from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the TRA Holder Representative or any other
Person with respect to the LLC or the Corporation, except in the case of any action or omission which constitutes, with
respect to such Person, willful misconduct or fraud. Each of the Covered Persons may consult with legal counsel, accountants,
and other experts selected by it, and any act or omission suffered or taken by it on behalf of the LLC or the Corporation or
in furtherance of the interests of the LLC or the Corporation in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants, or other experts shall create a rebuttable presumption of the good faith and due care of
such Covered Person with respect to such act or omission; provided that such counsel, accountants, or other experts
were selected with reasonable care. Each of the Covered Persons may rely in good faith upon, and shall have no liability to
the LLC, the Corporation or the TRA Holders for acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. For the
avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a provision of this Agreement provides a right or entitlement of any
kind to a TRA Holder, this Section 7.16 shall not override the TRA Holder’s ability to exercise or enforce such right
or enjoy such entitlement. 


 


Section 7.17 Non-Effect
of Other Tax Receivable Agreements. If the Corporation enters into any other agreement after the date hereof (for the
avoidance of doubt other than the Equity Purchase Agreement, the LLC Agreement, or any related agreement entered into in
connection with the execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement or as contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby) after the date of the execution of this Agreement
that obligates the Corporation to make payments to another party in exchange for tax benefits conferred upon the Corporation,
unless otherwise agreed by the TRA Holder Representative, such tax benefits and such payments shall be ignored for all
purposes of this Agreement (including for purposes of calculating the Hypothetical Tax Liability and the actual Tax liability
of the Corporation hereunder).
