  OF EXCELERATE ENERGY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

   

  THIS            AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT of
      EXCELERATE ENERGY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), dated as of [●], 2022, is entered into by and between Excelerate Energy Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”) and
      Excelerate Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “General Partner”).

   

   WHEREAS, since March 1, 2018, the Partnership has been governed by the
      Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Existing Agreement”); and

   

  WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement desire to amend and restate the
      Existing Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein; and

   

  WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement wish to enter into this Agreement
      to, among other things, (a) admit additional Partners, (b) provide for the management of the Partnership and (c) set forth their respective rights and obligations.

   

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
      contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

   

  Article I

      

      GENERAL PROVISIONS

   

  Section 1.01.     Formation and Continuation. The
      Partnership is a Limited Partnership previously formed and continued pursuant to the provisions of the Act and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary,
      the rights and obligations of the Partners and the administration and termination of the Partnership shall be governed by the Act. The Certificate of Limited Partnership and all actions taken or to be taken by any person who executed and filed or who
      executes and files, after the date of this Agreement, the Certificate of Limited Partnership or any amendment thereto are hereby adopted and ratified, or authorized, as the case may be.

   

  Section 1.02.     Name. The name of the Partnership is
      “Excelerate Energy Limited Partnership.” The Partnership may also conduct business at the same time under one or more fictitious names if the General Partner determines that such is in the best interests of the Partnership. The Partnership may change
      its name, from time to time, in accordance with Law.

   

  
    1

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 1.03.     Principal Place of Business; Other Places of
        Business. The principal business office of the Partnership is located at 2445 Technology Forest Blvd, Level 6, the Woodlands, Texas 77381, or such other place within or outside the State of Delaware as the General Partner may from time to time
      designate. The Partnership may maintain offices and places of business at such other place or places within or outside the State of Delaware as the General Partner deems advisable.

  

   

  Section 1.04.     Designated Agent for Service of Process.
      So long as required by the Act, the Partnership shall continuously maintain a registered office and a designated and duly qualified agent for service of process on the Partnership in the State of Delaware. The address of the registered office of the
      Partnership in the State of Delaware shall be as set forth in the Certificate of Limited Partnership. The Partnership’s registered agent for service of process at such address shall also be as set forth in the Certificate of Limited Partnership.

   

  Section 1.05.     Term. The term of the Partnership
      commenced at the time the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership was filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and shall continue until the Partnership is dissolved in accordance with the Act or this
      Agreement. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Partnership, the existence of the Partnership shall continue until its termination pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Act.

   

  Section 1.06.     Business Purpose. The Partnership may
      carry on any Lawful business, purpose or activity in which a Limited Partnership may be engaged under Law.

   

  Section 1.07.     Powers. Subject to the limitations set
      forth in this Agreement, the Partnership will possess and may exercise all of the powers and privileges granted to it by the Act, any other Law, or this Agreement, together with all powers incidental thereto, so far as such powers are necessary or
      convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the purposes of the Partnership set forth in Section 1.06.

   

  Section 1.08.     Certificates; Filings. The Certificate of
      Limited Partnership was previously filed on behalf of the Partnership in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Act. The General Partner may execute and file any duly authorized amendments to the Certificate
      of Limited Partnership from time to time in a form prescribed by the Act. The General Partner shall also cause to be made, on behalf of the Partnership, such additional filings and recordings as the General Partner shall deem necessary or advisable.
      If requested by the General Partner, the Partners shall promptly execute all certificates and other documents consistent with the terms of this Agreement necessary for the General Partner to accomplish all filing, recording, publishing, and other
      acts as may be appropriate to comply with all requirements for (a) the formation and operation of a Limited Partnership under the Laws of the State of Delaware, (b) if the General Partner deems it advisable, the operation of the Partnership as a
      Limited Partnership, in all jurisdictions in which the Partnership proposes to operate, and (c) all other filings required (or determined by the General Partner to be necessary or appropriate) to be made by the Partnership.

   

  
    2

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 1.09.     Representations and Warranties by the
        Partners.

   

  (a)          Individual-Partner-Specific Representations. Each Partner that is an individual (including each Additional Partner or Substituted Partner as a condition to becoming an Additional Partner or a Substituted
      Partner) represents and warrants to, and covenants with, each other Partner that (i) the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by such Partner will not result in a breach
      or violation of, or a default under, any material agreement by which such Partner or any of such Partner’s property is bound, or any statute, regulation, order or other Law to which such Partner is subject and (ii) this Agreement is binding upon, and
      enforceable against, such Partner in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of
      equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

   

  

  (b)          Non-Individual-Partner-Specific Representations. Each Partner that is not an individual (including each Additional Partner or Substituted Partner as a condition to becoming an Additional Partner or a
      Substituted Partner) represents and warrants to, and covenants with, each other Partner that (i) the execution of this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by it have been duly authorized by all necessary
      action, including that of its general partner(s), managing members(s), committee(s), trustee(s), beneficiaries, directors and/or stockholder(s) (as the case may be) as required, (ii) the execution of this Agreement and consummation of such
      transactions will not result in a breach or violation of, or a default under, its partnership or operating agreement, trust agreement, charter or bylaws (as the case may be), any material agreement by which such Partner or any of such Partner’s
      properties or any of its partners, members, beneficiaries, trustees or stockholders (as the case may be) is or are bound, or any statute, regulation, order or other Law to which such Partner or any of its partners, members, trustees, beneficiaries or
      stockholders (as the case may be) is or are subject, and (iii) this Agreement is binding upon, and enforceable against, such Partner in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

   

  (c)          Securities Laws. Each Partner (including each Additional Partner or Substituted Partner as a condition to becoming an Additional Partner or Substituted Partner) represents and warrants that it is an
      “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act and represents, warrants, and agrees that it has acquired and continues to hold its interest in the Partnership for its own account for investment purposes only and not
      for the purpose of, or with a view toward, the resale or distribution of all or any part thereof, and not with a view toward selling or otherwise distributing such interest or any part thereof at any particular time or under any predetermined
      circumstances. Each Partner further represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor, able and accustomed to handling sophisticated financial matters for itself, and that it has a sufficiently high net worth that it does not anticipate a
      need for the funds that it has invested in the Partnership in what it understands to be a speculative and illiquid investment.

   

  (d)          Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in Sections 1.09(a), 1.09(b), and 1.09(c) shall survive the execution and delivery of this
      Agreement by each Partner (and, in the case of an Additional Partner or a Substituted Partner, the admission of such Additional Partner or Substituted Partner as a Partner in the Partnership), and the dissolution, liquidation, and termination of the
      Partnership.

   

  
    3

    
      
 

  

   

  (e)          No Representations as to Performance. Each Partner (including each Additional Partner or Substituted Partner as a condition to becoming an Additional Partner or Substituted Partner) hereby acknowledges that
      no representations as to potential profit, cash flows, funds from operations or yield, if any, in respect of the Partnership or the General Partner have been made by the Partnership or any Partner or any employee or representative or Affiliate of the
      Partnership or any Partner, and that projections and any other information, including financial and descriptive information and documentation, that may have been in any manner submitted to such Partner shall not constitute any representation or
      warranty of any kind or nature, express or implied.

   

  (f)           Modification of Representations and Warranties. The General Partner may permit the modification of any of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 1.09(a), 1.09(b), and 1.09(c),
      as applicable, to any Partner (including any Additional Partner or Substituted Partner or any transferee of either); provided, that such representations and warranties, as modified, shall be set forth in either (i) an Interest Designation
      applicable to the Interests held by such Partner or (ii) a separate writing addressed to the Partnership.

   

  Section 1.10.     Liability of the Partners Generally.

   

  (a)          Except as otherwise provided in the Act, the General Partner shall have the liabilities of a partner in a partnership without limited partners to Persons other than the Partnership and the Limited Partners.

   

  (b)          Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Act, no Limited Partner (or former Limited Partner) shall be obligated to make any contribution of capital to the Partnership or have any liability for the
      debts and obligations of the Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Limited Partner (in its capacity as Limited Partner) shall owe a fiduciary duty to the Partnership or any of the other Partners.

   

  Section 1.11.     Admission of General Partner. The General
      Partner is hereby admitted as the sole general partner of the Partnership. If the General Partner ceases to be the General Partner for any reason, then a successor General Partner shall be designated by the General Partner pursuant to Section
        1.13. Other than a successor General Partner, no other Persons may be admitted as a general partner of the Partnership. Each Partner hereby forever releases and discharges each, and agrees that it will make no claims against any, direct or
      indirect member, partner or holder of equity interests in the General Partner based upon any claims against the General Partner (other than claims arising in respect of knowing and intentional fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith) arising under or
      in connection with this Agreement, including under any “veil piercing” or similar theory, and whether due to claims of undercapitalization of the General Partner or otherwise. Each of the direct and indirect members, partners, and holders of equity
      interests in the General Partner is an express third-party beneficiary of the foregoing.

   

  Section 1.12.     Withdrawal of the General Partner. The
      General Partner may withdraw as the Partnership’s general partner only by delivering a notice of withdrawal to the Partnership. Such notice shall state the effective date of the General Partner’s withdrawal. Unless such notice is earlier revoked, the
      General Partner shall be deemed to have withdrawn as the Partnership’s general partner upon the earlier of (a) the effective date stated in such notice and (b) the date a successor General Partner is admitted to the Partnership pursuant to Section
      1.13.

   

  
    4

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 1.13.     Election of a Successor General Partner.
      If the General Partner ceases to be the Partnership’s general partner for any reason, the General Partner shall, within 90 days thereafter, elect a successor General Partner. Any Person so elected to be successor General Partner shall be admitted to
      the Partnership as the General Partner effective upon the date the former General Partner ceased to be the Partnership’s General Partner only upon the Partnership’s receipt of a written assumption by such Person of all of the General Partner’s
      rights, obligations and agreements hereunder, and the business of the Partnership shall continue without the commencement of the winding-up of the Partnership.

   

  Article II

      

      INTERESTS; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

   

  Section 2.01.     Interests.

   

  (a)          Generally. The interests of the Partners in the Partnership are divided into, and represented by, the Interests, each having the rights and obligations specified in this Agreement.

   

  (b)          Classes. The Interests are initially divided into:

   

  (i)         “Class A Interests,” which are issuable to the General Partner and such other persons as the General Partner shall determine;

   

  (ii)        “Class B Interests,” which are issuable to Holdings and as otherwise provided in this Agreement; and

    

  Other Classes of Interests. The Partnership may issue additional
      Interests or create additional classes, series, subclasses, or sub-series of Interests in accordance with this Agreement.

   

  (c)          Recapitalization. Immediately upon the execution of this Agreement and without any action required on part of the Partnership or any Partner, the outstanding Interests (as defined in the Existing Agreement)
      issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time of this Agreement shall be recapitalized into Class B Interests of the Partnership in the amount set forth opposite the name of the Partner on the Register (the “Recapitalization”).

   

  Section 2.02.     Capital Contributions of the Partners; No
        Deficit Restoration Obligation.

   

  (a)          Capital Contributions. The Partners made, shall be treated as having made, or have agreed to make, Capital Contributions to the Partnership and were issued the Interests indicated on the Register. Except as
      provided by Law or in this Agreement, the Partners shall have no obligation or, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the General Partner, right to make any other Capital Contributions or any loans to the
      Partnership.

   

  
    5

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)          No Deficit Restoration Obligation. No Limited Partner shall have an obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership as the result of a deficit balance in its Capital Account, and any
      such deficit shall not be considered a Debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

   

  Section 2.03.     No Interest; No Return. No Partner shall
      be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account balance. Except as provided by this Agreement, any Interest Designation, or by Law, no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive a withdrawal or the
      return of its Capital Contribution from the Partnership. Except to the extent provided in this Agreement or in any Interest Designation, no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner as to distributions or the return of Capital Contributions.

   

  Section 2.04.     Issuances of Additional Interests.
      Subject to the rights of any Partner set forth in an Interest Designation:

   

  (a)          General. The Partnership may issue additional Interests for any Partnership purpose at any time or from time to time to the Partners (including, subject to Section 2.04(b), the General Partner) or
      any other Person and may admit any such Person as an Additional Partner for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the General Partner. Any additional Interests may be issued in one or more classes or one or
      more series of any of such classes with such designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, rights to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption (including rights that may be senior or
      otherwise entitled to preference over existing Interests) as shall be determined by the Partnership (each, an “Interest Designation”). Upon the issuance of any additional Interest, the General Partner shall amend the Register and the books and
      records of the Partnership as appropriate to reflect such issuance. Except to the extent specifically set forth in any Interest Designation, an Interest of any class or series other than a Common Interest shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote
      on, or consent to, any matter.

   

  (b)          Issuances to the General Partner. No additional Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:

   

  (i)          Additional Interests are also issued to all Partners holding Common Interests in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Common Interests;

   

  (ii)         The additional Interests issued to the General Partner are Class A Interests issued in connection with an issuance of Class A Common Stock or issued with appropriate adjustments to the Exchange Rate in
      accordance with Section 11.04, and the General Partner contributes to the Partnership the net proceeds received in connection with the issuance by the General Partner of such Class A Common Stock;

   

  (iii)        The additional Interests issued to the General Partner are Equivalent Interests (other than Common Interests) issued in connection with an issuance by the General Partner of Preferred Stock, New
      Securities, or other interests in the General Partner (other than Common Stock), and the General Partner contributes to the Partnership the net proceeds received in connection with the issuance by the General Partner of such Preferred Stock, New
      Securities, or other interests in the General Partner;

   

  
    6

    
      
 

  

   

  (iv)       There is a recapitalization of the Capital Stock of the General Partner, including any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, or similar transaction

   

  (v)        The additional Interests are issued upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of Debt, Interests or other securities issued by the Partnership and held by the General Partner; and

   

  (vi)       The additional Interests are issued in accordance with the express terms of the other provisions of this Article II.

   

  (c)          Issuance of Class B Interests. No additional Class B Interests shall be issued except in the event of a recapitalization of the Capital Stock of the General Partner, including any stock split, stock
      dividend, reclassification, or similar transaction.

   

  (d)          No Preemptive Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any Interest Designation, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe
      for or acquire any Interest.

   

  Section 2.05.     Additional Funds and Additional Capital
        Contributions 

   

  (a)          General. The Partnership may, at any time and from time to time, determine that it requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Assets, for the
      redemption of Interests, or for such other purposes as the Partnership may determine. The Partnership may obtain Additional Funds in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 2.05 without the approval of any
      Partner or any other Person.

   

  (b)          Additional Capital Contributions. The Partnership may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting Capital Contributions from any Partners or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution, the
      Partnership is hereby authorized from time to time to issue additional Interests (as set forth in Section 2.04) in consideration for such Capital Contribution.

   

  (c)          Loans by Third Parties. The Partnership may obtain any Additional Funds by incurring Debt payable to any Person upon such terms as the Partnership determines appropriate, including making such Debt
      convertible, redeemable, or exchangeable for Interests; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if any Partner would be personally liable for the repayment of all or any portion of such Debt unless that
      Partner otherwise agrees in writing.

   

  
    7

    
      
 

  

   

  (d)          Issuance of Securities by the General Partner.

   

  (i)          Unless otherwise agreed to by the Partners (or except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.04(c)), except in the case of a Liquidity Offering for purposes of a Cash Settlement, the General Partner shall
      not issue any additional Capital Stock or New Securities unless the General Partner contributes the net proceeds received from the issuance of such additional Capital Stock or New Securities (and from the exercise of the rights contained in any such
      additional Capital Stock or New Securities) to the Partnership in exchange for (i) in the case of an issuance of Class A Common Stock by the General Partner, Class A Interests of the Partnership or (ii) in the case of an issuance of Preferred Stock
      or New Securities by the General Partner, Equivalent Interests of the Partnership. If at any time any Preferred Stock or New Securities are issued by the General Partner that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock or another
      security of the General Partner, then upon any such conversion or exercise, the corresponding Equivalent Interest of the Partnership shall be similarly exercised or converted, as applicable, and an equivalent number of Class A Interests or other
      Equivalent Interests of the Partnership shall be issued. It is the intent of the parties that the General Partner will always own Interests equivalent to its outstanding Capital Stock (other than Class B Common Stock), except as provided pursuant to
      Section 11.04, and the parties hereby acknowledge that the General Partner may make reasonable adjustments to its own capitalization, subject to applicable Law and the terms of any such outstanding Capital Stock, in order to effect such
      parity.

  

   

  (ii)         New Securities that are derivative securities issued under any Incentive Compensation Plan of the General Partner shall not require issuance of Equivalent Interests by the Partnership until such time as
      such derivative securities are exercised for Capital Stock of the General Partner.

   

  (e)          Reimbursement of Issuance Expenses. If the General Partner issues additional Capital Stock or New Securities and contributes the net proceeds received from such issuance to the Partnership pursuant to this
      Section 2.5, the Partnership shall reimburse or assume (on an after-tax basis) the General Partner’s expenses associated with such issuance not paid by the General Partner out of proceeds of such issuance of additional Capital Stock.

   

  (f)           Repurchase or Redemption of Capital Stock. If any shares of Capital Stock, or New Securities of the General Partner are repurchased, redeemed or otherwise retired (whether by exercise of a put or call,
      automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the General Partner, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership, immediately before such repurchase, redemption or retirement of such Capital Stock or New Securities, to redeem,
      repurchase or otherwise retire a corresponding equivalency of Class A Interests, Class B Interests or Equivalent Interests held by the General Partner, upon the same terms and for the same consideration as the Capital Stock or New Securities to be
      repurchased, redeemed, or retired.

   

  Article III

      

      DISTRIBUTIONS

   

  Section 3.01.     Distributions Generally. Except as
      otherwise provided in this Article III or in Section 4.03, and subject to the terms of any Interest Designation, the Partnership shall distribute an amount of Available Cash if, when, and as determined by the General Partner, to the Partners
      pro rata in accordance with their Interests. For purposes of this Section 3.01, a non-pro rata redemption or repurchase of Interests by the Partnership shall not be deemed a distribution.

   

  
    8

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 3.02.     Tax Distributions.

   

  (a)          Generally. If the amount distributed to a Partner pursuant to Section 3.01 in respect of a Fiscal Year is less than that Partner’s Assumed Tax Liability, the Partnership shall distribute an amount
      of Available Cash to the Partners such that each Partner receives distributions of Available Cash in respect of each Fiscal Year in an amount at least equal to the Partner’s Assumed Tax Liability for such Fiscal Year (each such distribution, a “Tax

        Distribution”). Any Tax Distribution made to a Partner shall be treated as an advance against, and shall reduce, future amounts otherwise distributable to such Partner under Section 3.01 or Section 9.03(a). Except as provided
      in Section 3.02(d) and subject to any Interest Designation, all Tax Distributions shall be made pro rata in accordance with Interests.

   

  (b)          Calculation of Assumed Tax Liability. For purposes of calculating the amount of each Partner’s Tax Distributions under Section 3.02(a), a Partner’s “Assumed Tax Liability” means an amount
      equal to the product of:

   

  (i)          the sum of (A) the net taxable income and gain allocated to that Partner for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the Fiscal Year and (B) to the extent (x) determined by the Partnership in its sole
      discretion and (y) attributable to the Partnership, the amount the Partner is required to include in income by reason of Code sections 707(c) (but not including guaranteed payments for services within the meaning of Code section 707(c)), 951(a), and
      951A(a) (or any analogous or successor provisions of the Code); multiplied by

   

  (ii)         the Assumed Tax Rate.

   

  The calculation required by this Section 3.02(b) shall be made by
      (i) taking into account (x) the character of the income or gain and (y) any limitations on the use of deductions or credits allocable with respect to the Fiscal Year and (ii) disregarding the effect of any special basis adjustments under Code section
      743(b). In addition, the Partnership shall increase a Partner’s Assumed Tax Liability to the extent the Partnership reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate as a result of any differences between U.S. federal income tax law and the tax laws
      of other jurisdictions in which the Partnership has a taxable presence. The Partnership shall calculate the amount of any increase described in the preceding sentence by applying the principles of Section 3.2(b)(i) and (ii) replacing
      the words “U.S. federal” with a reference to the applicable jurisdiction.

   

  (c)          Timing of Tax Distributions. If reasonably practicable, the Partnership shall make distributions of the estimated Tax Distributions in respect of a Fiscal Year on a quarterly basis to facilitate the payment
      of quarterly estimated income taxes, taking into account amounts previously distributed by reason of this Section 3.02. Not later than sixty (60) Business Days after the end of the Fiscal Year, the Partnership shall make a final Tax
      Distribution in an amount sufficient to fulfill the Partnership’s obligations under Section 3.02(a).

   

  
    9

    
      
 

  

   

  (d)          Impact of Insufficient Available Cash. If the amount of Tax Distributions to be made exceeds the amount of the Available Cash, the Tax Distribution to which each Partner is entitled shall be reduced in
      accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.02(d) (the amount of the reduction in each Partner’s share, the “Tax Distribution Shortfall Amount”), and Available Cash shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

   

  (i)          First, to the General Partner in an amount equal to the full amount of its Tax Distribution, but calculated by substituting the words “a corporation doing business in Houston, Texas” for “an individual
      resident in Tulsa, Oklahoma” in the definition of “Assumed Tax Rate”;

   

  (ii)         Second, to the Partners other than the General Partner pro rata in accordance with their Interests until each Partner has received an amount equal to the full amount of its Tax Distribution, but
      calculated by substituting the words “a corporation doing business in Houston, Texas” for “an individual resident in Tulsa Oklahoma” in the definition of “Assumed Tax Rate”; and

   

  (iii)        Third, to the Partners (including the General Partner) pro rata in accordance with their Interests until each Partner has received the full amount of its Tax Distribution calculated in accordance
      with Section 3.02(b).

   

  Any Tax Distribution Shortfall Amounts will be carried forward to subsequent Fiscal Years
      and will be distributed when and to the extent that the Partnership has sufficient Available Cash. The distribution of any Tax Distribution Shortfall Amounts to a Partner shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Tax Distribution and shall be
      treated as an advance against, and shall reduce, future amounts otherwise distributable to such Partner under Section 3.01 or Section 9.03(a).

   

  (e)          No Tax Distributions on Liquidation. No Tax Distributions shall be made in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership or a Partner’s Interests in the Partnership.

   

  Section 3.03.     Distributions in Kind. No Partner may
      demand to receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The Partnership may make a distribution in kind of Assets to the Partners, and if a distribution is made both in cash and in kind, such distribution shall be made so that, to
      the fullest extent practical, the percentage of the cash and any other Assets distributed to each Partner entitled to such distribution is identical.

   

  Section 3.04.     Distributions to Reflect Additional Interests.
      If the Partnership issues additional Interests pursuant to the provisions of Article II, subject to the provisions of any Interest Designation, the General Partner is authorized to make such revisions to this Article III and to 0
      as it determines are reasonably necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional Interests, including making preferential distributions to certain classes of Interests.

   

  Section 3.05.     Other Distribution Rules.

   

  (a)          Transfers. From and after the Transfer of an Interest, for purposes of determining the rights to distributions (including Tax Distributions) under this Agreement, distributions (including Tax Distributions)
      made to the transferor Partner, along with any withholding or deduction in respect of any such distribution, shall be treated as having been made to the transferee unless otherwise determined by the Partnership.

   

  
    10

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)         Record Date for Distributions. The Partnership may designate a Record Date for purposes of calculating and giving effect to distributions. All distributions shall be made to the holders of record as of the
      applicable Record Date.

   

  (c)          Over-Distributions. If the amount of any distribution to a Partner under the Agreement exceeds the amount to which the Partner in entitled (e.g., by reason of an accounting error), the Partner shall, upon
      written notice of the over-distribution delivered to the Partner within one year of the over-distribution, promptly return the over-distribution to the Partnership.

   

  (d)          Reimbursements of Preformation Capital Expenditures. To the extent a distribution (or deemed distribution resulting from a reduction in a Partner’s share of Partnership liabilities for federal tax purposes)
      otherwise would be treated as proceeds in a sale under Code section 707(a)(2)(B), the Partners intend such actual or deemed distribution to reimburse preformation capital expenditures under Treas. Reg. § 1.707-4(d) to the maximum extent permitted by
      Law.

   

  (e)          Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership shall not make a distribution to any Partner to the extent such distribution would violate the
      Act or other Law or would result in the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries being in default under any material agreement.

      power, or authority to transact any business in the name of the Partnership or act for or on behalf of or to bind the Partnership.

      and every Partner.

   

  (b)          Appointment of Officers. The General Partner may, from time to time, appoint such officers and establish such management and/or advisory boards or committees of the Partnership as the General Partner deems
      necessary or advisable, each of which shall have such powers, authority, and responsibilities as are delegated in writing by the General Partner from time to time. Each such officer and/or board or committee Partner shall serve at the pleasure of the
      General Partner. The initial officers of the Partnership are set forth on 0 attached to this Agreement.

   

  (c)          No Participation by Partners Other than General Partner. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by any non-waivable provision of the Act or other Law, no Partner (acting in

      or the operation or control, of the business and affairs of the Partnership.

   

  (d)          Bankruptcy. Only the General Partner may commence a voluntary case on behalf of, or an involuntary case against, the Partnership under a chapter of Title 11 U.S.C. by the filing of a “petition” (as defined
      in 11 U.S.C. 101(42)) with the United States Bankruptcy Court. Any such petition filed by any other Partner, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, shall be deemed an unauthorized and bad faith filing, and all parties to this Agreement shall use
      their best efforts to cause such petition to be dismissed.

   

  
    12

    
      
 

  

   

  (e)          Amendment of Agreement. Subject to the rights of any Partner set forth in an Interest Designation and Section 4.01(f), the General Partner shall have the power, without the consent or approval of

  (ii)         To reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature or does not adversely affect the Partners in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement

  (vii)          To reflect any other modification to this Agreement as is reasonably necessary or appropriate for the business or operations of the Partnership or the General Partner and that does

      General Partner without the consent of any Partner holding Common Interests that would be adversely affected by such amendment or action if such amendment or action would:

  provided, however, that, with respect to clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv), the

  Section 4.06.     Limitation on Liability.

   

  (a)          General. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, no Indemnitee, in such capacity, shall be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or any of their respective Affiliates, for any losses sustained or
      liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of such Person if (i) either (A) the Indemnitee, at the time of such act or omission, determined in good faith that its, his or her course of conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best
      interests of the Partnership or (B) in the case of omission by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee did not intend its, his or her inaction to be harmful or opposed to the best interests of the Partnership and (ii) the act or omission did not constitute
      fraud or willful misconduct by the Indemnitee.

  (b)          Action in Good Faith. An Indemnitee acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Partnership for its, his, or her good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this
      Agreement, to the extent that they expand, restrict, or eliminate the duties and liabilities of such Persons otherwise existing at Law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace fully and completely such other duties and liabilities of such
      Persons. Whenever the General Partner or the Partnership is permitted or required to make a decision or take an action under this Agreement (i) in making such decisions, such Person shall be entitled to take into account its own interests as well as

  (c)          Outside Counsel. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors, and any act or omission suffered or taken by the General Partner on behalf of the
      Partnership or in furtherance of the interests of the Partnership in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or financial or other advisors will be full justification for any such act or omission,
      and the General Partner will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected with reasonable care.

   

  Section 4.07.     Indemnification.

   

  (a)          General. The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee (and such Person’s heirs, successors, assigns, executors or administrators) to the full extent permitted by Law and to the same
      extent and in the same manner provided by the provisions of Article VI of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the General Partner applicable to officers and directors and the applicable provisions of the Stockholder’s Agreement as if such provisions
      were set forth herein, mutatis mutandis, and applied to each such Indemnitee.

   

  (b)          Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 4.07 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or
      hereafter acquire under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, provisions of a certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or otherwise.

   

  (c)          Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon Indemnitees in this Section 4.07 shall be contract rights and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be the General Partner, an Affiliate of
      the General Partner, the Tax Representative, the Designated Individual, or an officer or director of the General Partner, the Partnership, or their respective Affiliates. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Section 4.07 or of Article
      VI of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the General Partner or the Stockholder’s Agreement that would adversely affect any right of an Indemnitee or its successors shall apply prospectively only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with
      respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place before such amendment, alteration or repeal.

      INTEREST TRANSFERS AND Partner WITHDRAWALS

   

  Section 7.01.     Transfer Generally Prohibited. No
      Interests shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII and Article XI. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of an Interest not made in accordance with this Article

        VII or Article XI shall be null and void ab initio. Interests shall not be subject to the claims of any creditor, spouse for alimony or support, or legal process and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or
      encumbered except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement.

   

  Section 7.02.     Conditions Generally Applicable to All
        Transfers. All Transfers are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

   

  (a)          Transfers by Partners other than the General Partner.

   

  (i)          Consent of General Partner. No Partner other than the General Partner shall Transfer any portion of its Interests to any transferee without the consent of the General Partner unless the Transfer
      is a Related-Party Transfer or a GKFF Transfer.

   

  (ii)         Assumption of Obligations; No Relief from Obligations. Any transferee of all or a portion of an Interest (whether or not admitted as a Substituted Partner) shall take subject to and assume, by
      operation of Law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Interest. No Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation pursuant to which all
      obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of Law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General Partner.

   

  (iii)        No Rights as Partner. No transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of Law or otherwise, shall have any rights under this Agreement unless admitted as a Substituted Partner.

   

  (b)          Transfers by the General Partner.

   

  (i)          Consent of Partners. The General Partner may not Transfer any of its Interests without the consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Partners, except in connection with an Applicable Sale or
      Termination Transaction or to a wholly owned subsidiary in accordance with Section 7.02(b)(ii).

   

  
    19

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)         Transfer to Subsidiary. Subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Article VII, the General Partner may Transfer all of its Interests at any time to any Person that is, at the
      time of such Transfer, a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner without the consent of any Partner and may designate the transferee to become the new General Partner for all purposes of this Agreement.

   

  (c)          Withholding with Respect to a Transfer of Interests. A Partner making a Transfer permitted by this Agreement shall comply with Section 4.10(b) of Annex B.

   

  (d)          Other Restrictions on Transfer. In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer in this Agreement, no Partner may Transfer an Interest (including by way of acquisition of Interests by the General Partner
      or any other acquisition of Interests by the Partnership) if the Partnership determines:

   

  (i)          Based on the advice of nationally recognized tax counsel, such Transfer would create a material risk of the Partnership being classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal,
      state, or local income tax purposes;

   

  (ii)         That the Transfer would be to any Person or entity that lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own an Interest;

   

  (iii)        That the Transfer would be in violation of Law;

   

  (iv)        That the Transfer would be of any fractional or component portion of an Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of an Interest;

   

  (v)         That the Transfer would create a material risk that the Partnership would become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section
      3(14)) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Code section 4975(c));

   

  (vi)        Based on the advice of counsel, that the Transfer would create a material risk that any portion of the Assets would constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Reg. §
      2510.2-101;

   

  (vii)       That the Transfer would require the registration of such Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities Laws;

   

  (viii)      Based on advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk that the Partnership would become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; or

   

  
    20

    
      
 

  

   

  (ix)        Based on the advice of counsel, that the Transfer would subject the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended.

   

  Section 7.03.     Substituted Partners.

   

  (a)          Admission as Partner. A transferee of Interests of a Partner, other than a Related-Party Transferee or a GKFF Transferee, may be admitted as a Substituted Partner only with the consent of the Partnership. A
      Related-Party Transferee and a GKFF Transferee shall be admitted as a Substituted Partner without the consent of the Partnership, subject to compliance with Section 7.03(b). The failure or refusal by the Partnership to permit a transferee of
      Interests to become a Substituted Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or the General Partner. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Partner in accordance with this Article VII shall have
      all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Partner under this Agreement.

   

  (b)          Documents to Be Provided by Transferee. No transferee shall be admitted as a Substituted Partner until and unless it furnishes to the Partnership (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance
      satisfactory to the Partnership, of all the terms, conditions and applicable obligations of this Agreement, including the representations and warranties set forth in Section 1.09 (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such
      transferee and (iii) such other documents and instruments as the Partnership may require to effect such transferee’s admission as a Substituted Partner, including a certification from the transferee or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to
      the Partnership in respect of any of the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 7.02(d) (which certification or opinion may be waived, in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Partnership).

   

  (c)          Amendment of Books and Records. In connection with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Partner, the General Partner or the Partnership shall amend the Register and the books and records of
      the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number of Interests of such Substituted Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Interests of the predecessor of such Substituted Partner.

   

  Section 7.04.     Drag-Along and Tag-Along Rights.

   

  (a)          Drag-Along Rights.

   

  (i)          If at any time the General Partner and/or its Affiliates (excluding, for purposes of this Section 7.04(a), the Partnership and its Subsidiaries) desire to Transfer in one or more transactions a
      sufficient portion of its and/or their Interests (or any beneficial interest therein) to constitute a Change of Control to a bona fide third party that is not an Affiliate of the General Partner (an “Applicable Sale”), the General Partner may
      require each other Partner either (i) to sell the same ratable share of its Interests as is being sold by the General Partner and such Affiliates (based upon the total Interests held by the General Partner and its Affiliates at such time) on the same
      terms and conditions and/or (ii) to exchange its Interests pursuant to Section 11.01(b) (each, a “Drag-Along Right”). The General Partner may in its sole discretion elect to cause the General Partner and/or the Partnership to structure
      the Applicable Sale as a merger or consolidation or as a sale of the Partnership’s Assets.

   

  
    21

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)         No Partner shall have any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with any Applicable Sale, and no Partner may object to any subsequent liquidation or other distribution of
      the proceeds from an Applicable Sale that is a sale of Assets. Each Partner agrees to consent to, and raise no objections against, an Applicable Sale. In the event of the exercise by the General Partner of its Drag-Along Right pursuant to this
      Section 7.04(a), each Partner shall take all reasonably necessary and desirable actions approved by the General Partner in connection with the consummation of the Applicable Sale, including the execution of such agreements and such
      instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to provide customary and reasonable representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions and other agreements relating to such Applicable Sale and to otherwise effect the transaction; provided,
      however, that (A) such Partners shall not be required to give disproportionately greater or more onerous representations, warranties, indemnities, or covenants than the General Partner or its Affiliates, (B) such Partners shall not be
      obligated to bear any share of the out-of-pocket expenses, costs, or fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Partnership or its Affiliates in connection with such Applicable Sale unless and to the extent that such expenses, costs, and fees
      were incurred for the benefit of the Partnership or all of its Partners, (C) such Partners shall not be obligated or otherwise responsible for more than their proportionate shares of any indemnities or other liabilities incurred by the Partnership
      and the Partners as sellers in respect of such Applicable Sale, and (D) any indemnities or other liabilities approved by the General Partner shall be limited, in respect of each Partner, to such Partner’s share of the proceeds from the Applicable
      Sale.

   

  (iii)        At least five (5) Business Days before consummation of an Applicable Sale, the General Partner shall (i) provide the Partners written notice (the “Applicable Sale Notice”) of the Applicable Sale,
      which notice shall contain (A) the name and address of the third-party purchaser, (B) the proposed purchase price, terms of payment, and other material terms and conditions of the purchaser’s offer, together with a copy of any binding agreement with
      respect to the Applicable Sale and (C) notification of whether the General Partner has elected to exercise its Drag-Along Right and (ii) promptly notify the Partners of all proposed changes to the material terms and keep the Partners reasonably
      informed as to all material terms relating to the Applicable Sale or contribution, and promptly deliver to the Partners copies of all final material agreements relating to the Applicable Sale not already provided in accordance with this Section
        7.4(a)(iii) or otherwise. The General Partner shall provide the Partners written notice of the termination of an Applicable Sale within five (5) Business Days following such termination, which notice shall state that the Applicable Sale Notice
      served with respect to such Applicable Sale is rescinded.

   

  
    22

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)          Tag-Along Rights.

   

  (i)          Except in connection with an Applicable Sale or Termination Transaction or a Transfer to a wholly owned subsidiary in accordance with Section 7.02(b)(ii), if the General Partner and/or its
      Affiliates proposes to Transfer Common Interests (a “Tag-Along Sale”) to a bona fide third party that is not an Affiliate of the General Partner, then each other Partner holding Common Interests shall have the right and option (the “Tag-Along

        Right”), but not the obligation, to sell its Common Interests up to the Tag-Along Amount (as defined below) applicable to the Tag-Along Seller in that Tag-Along Sale, at the same price, for the same form of consideration, and on the same terms
      and conditions as the General Partner and/or its Affiliates (including customary representations, covenants, indemnities, and agreements), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.4(b) (those Partners that exercise the Tag-Along Right, the
      “Tag-Along Sellers”). Each Tag-Along Seller shall pay its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by all Persons participating as sellers in the Tag-Along Sale. As used in this Section 7.4(b), “Tag-Along Amount” means, with
      respect to any Tag-Along Seller, the number of Common Interests equal to the product of (x) the total number of Common Interests then owned by that Tag-Along Seller, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Common
      Interests to be acquired by the bona fide third party that is not an Affiliate of the General Partner in the Tag-Along Sale, and the denominator of which is the total number of Common Interests outstanding at that time.

   

  (ii)         At least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to any Tag-Along Sale, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to deliver a written notice (the “Tag-Along Sale Notice”) to each other Partner
      holding Common Interests, specifying in reasonable detail (A) the identity of the proposed transferee, (B) the proposed purchase price per Common Interest (including form of consideration), (C) a summary of the other proposed material terms and
      conditions of the Tag-Along Sale, and (D) that the acquiror has been informed of the participation rights under this Section 7.4(b) and has agreed to purchase Common Interests from each Tag-Along Seller up to such Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along
      Amount. Each Tag-Along Seller may elect to participate in the Tag-Along Sale by delivering irrevocable written notice (a “Tag-Along Participation Notice”) to the Partnership within seven (7) Business Days after delivery of the Tag-Along Sale
      Notice. The Tag-Along Participation Notice shall state either (x) that the Tag-Along Seller elects to include in the Tag-Along Sale its full Tag-Along Amount or (y) if such Tag-Along Seller elects to include in the Tag-Along Sale a lesser number of
      Common Interests, that lesser number of Common Interests (that amount, in either case, the “Included Interests”). Any failure by a Tag-Along Seller to deliver a Tag-Along Participation Notice to the Partnership within the seven (7)-Business
      Day period shall be deemed an irrevocable election by such Tag-Along Seller not to participate in the Tag-Along Sale with respect to the Common Interests held by that Tag-Along Seller, and the General Partner shall have the right to sell to the
      acquiror Common Interests representing the non-participating Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Amount, on terms and conditions no more favorable in any material respect to the General Partner and/or its Affiliates than those stated in the Tag-Along Sale
      Notice.

   

  
    23

    
      
 

  

   

  (iii)        The Tag-Along Participation Notice shall constitute a binding agreement by the applicable Tag-Along Seller to sell the Included Interests in the Tag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions specified in
      the Tag-Along Sale Notice if the Tag-Along Sale is consummated upon those terms. In addition, by delivering the Tag-Along Participation Notice, a Tag-Along Seller agrees to the following: (A) prior to the closing of any Tag-Along Sale, to execute and
      deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) any purchase agreement or other documentation required by the acquiror to consummate the Tag-Along Sale, which purchase agreement and other documentation shall be on terms no less favorable in any
      material respect to that Tag-Along Seller than those executed by the General Partner and/or its Affiliates participating in the Tag-Along Sale; and (B) at the closing of any such transaction, to take all other actions reasonably necessary or
      desirable to cause the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale. In connection with a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 7.4(b), each Tag-Along Seller shall make the same representations and warranties as required by the General Partner and/or
      its Affiliates participating in the Tag-Along Sale and shall be obligated to join on a pro rata basis in any indemnification or other obligations that the General Partner and/or its Affiliates agree to provide in connection with that Tag-Along Sale
      (other than any indemnification obligations with respect to representations and warranties given by a Person as to that Person and not as to any other Person). Each Tag-Along Seller hereby constitutes and appoints the General Partner, with full power
      of substitution and resubstitution, as the true and lawful attorneys-in-fact for that Tag-Along Seller and in that Tag-Along Seller’s name, place, and stead and for that Tag-Along Seller’s use and benefit, to sign, execute, certify, acknowledge,
      swear to, file, deliver, and record any and all agreements, certificates, consents, instruments, and other documents which the General Partner and/or its Affiliates may deem reasonably necessary, desirable, or appropriate, and to take any other
      action reasonably necessary or advisable, for the purposes of effecting any Tag-Along Sale and the transfer of the Tag-Along Seller’s Common Interests in connection with that Tag-Along Sale. This power of attorney is a special power of attorney
      coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, may be exercised by any such attorney-in-fact by listing the Tag-Along Seller executing any agreement, certificate, instrument or other document with the single signature of any such attorney-in-fact
      acting as attorney-in-fact for that Tag-Along Seller, shall survive the death, disability, legal incapacity, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or cessation of existence of that Tag-Along Seller and shall survive the Transfer by a Tag-Along Seller
      of all or any portion of that Tag-Along Seller’s Common Interests.

   

  (iv)       The closing of the Tag-Along Sale shall be held at the place and on the date as determined by the General Partner and/or its Affiliates and the acquiror, but in no event later than one hundred and
      thirty-five (135) days (or longer, if reasonably necessary to comply with applicable Law) after delivery of the Tag-Along Participation Notice. Upon the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale, each Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive the
      consideration for that Tag-Along Seller’s Common Interests sold pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) less that Tag-Along Seller’s pro rata share of the expenses of the transaction including, without limitation, legal, accounting, and
      investment banking fees and expenses, the determination of expenses to be determined by the General Partner. If the Tag-Along Sale is not consummated within such one hundred and thirty-five (135)-day period, the General Partner and/or its Affiliates
      initiating the Tag-Along Sale may not sell any Common Interests unless it has again complied in full with this Section 7.4(b).

   

  (v)        Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an obligation on the part of the General Partner and/or its Affiliates proposing to engage in a Tag-Along Sale to consummate a transaction.

   

  
    24

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 7.05.     Partnership Right to Call Interests.
      Beginning on the date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Partners (other than the General Partner and its Subsidiaries) are less than five (5) percent, the Partnership shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time
      and at any time to redeem all (but not less than all) outstanding Exchangeable Interests by treating each Partner as an Exchangeable Interest Partner who has delivered an Elective Exchange Notice pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of Annex D in respect of
      all of such Exchangeable Interest Partner’s Exchangeable Interests. The Partnership shall exercise this right by giving notice to an Exchangeable Interest Partner stating that the Partnership has elected to exercise its rights under this Section 7.05.
      The notice given by the Partnership to an Exchangeable Interest Partner pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall be treated as if it were an Elective Exchange Notice delivered to the Partnership by such Exchangeable Interest Partner.
      For purposes of this Section 7.05, the provisions of Annex B shall apply except to the extent otherwise determined by the Partnership.

   

  Section 7.06.     Withdrawal.

   

  (a)          Permissible Withdrawals. Subject to any Interest Designation, no Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than:

   

  (i)          As a result of a Transfer of all of such Partner’s Interests in accordance with this Article VII or Article XI with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Partner;

   

  (ii)         Pursuant to an acquisition by the General Partner or Subsidiary of the General Partner of all of its Interests; or

   

  (iii)        With the consent of the Partnership.

   

  (b)          Consequences of Withdrawal. Any Partner who Transfers all of its Interests in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article VII where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Partner or
      (ii) to the General Partner, whether or not pursuant to Section 11.01, shall cease to be a Partner but shall continue to have the obligations of a former Partner that are expressly set forth in this Agreement.

   

  Section 7.07.     Restrictions on Termination Transactions.

   

  (a)          General. Except as provided in Section 7.07(b), neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall engage in, or cause or permit, a Termination Transaction.

   

  (b)          Consent. The Partnership or General Partner may engage in, cause, or permit a Termination Transaction only if at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:

   

  (i)          A Majority-in-Interest of the Partners give Consent;

   

  (ii)         In connection with any such Termination Transaction, each holder of Common Interests (other than the General Partner and its wholly owned Subsidiaries) will receive, or will have the right to elect to
      receive, for each Common Interest an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property that the holder of Common Interests would have received had it exercised its right to Exchange
      pursuant to Article XI and received Class A Common Stock in exchange for its Common Interests immediately before such Termination Transaction; or

   

  
    25

    
      
 

  

   

  (iii)        All of the following conditions are met: (1) substantially all of the Assets directly or indirectly owned by the Partnership before the announcement of the Termination Transaction are, immediately after
      the Termination Transaction, owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or Limited Partnership that is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Partnership (in each case, the “Surviving

        Company”); (2) the Surviving Company is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and each of its Subsidiaries has the same classification for U.S. federal, state, and local tax purposes immediately after the Termination
      Transaction that each Subsidiary had immediately before the Termination Transaction; (3) the rights of such Partners with respect to the Surviving Company (including pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement) are at least as favorable as those of
      Partners holding Interests immediately before the consummation of such transaction (except to the extent that any such rights are consistent with clause (4) of this Section 7.07(b)(iii)) and as those applicable to any other limited partners
      or non-General Partners of the Surviving Company; and (4) such rights include the right to cause their interests in the Surviving Company to be redeemed at any time or times for cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such interest at the
      time of redemption, as determined at least once every calendar quarter by an independent appraisal firm of recognized national standing retained by the Surviving Company.

   

  Section 7.08.     Incapacity. If a Partner is subject to
      Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator, or receiver of such Partner’s estate shall have the same rights as the Incapacitated Partner possessed to Transfer its Interests. The Incapacity of a Partner, in and
      of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

      Person’s admission as an Additional Partner. In connection with, and as evidence of, the admission of an Additional Partner, the General Partner shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address,
      number and type of Interests of such Additional Partner.

   

  
    26

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)          Consent of Partnership Required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.01, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Partner without the consent of the Partnership, provided,

        however, Transfers allowed under Section 7.02(a)(i) shall be deemed approved by the Partners. The admission of any Person as an Additional Partner shall become effective on the date determined by the Partnership (but in no case earlier
      than the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(a)).

   

  Section 8.02.     Limit on Number of Partners. Unless
      otherwise permitted by the General Partner, no Person shall be admitted to the Partnership after the date of this Agreement as an Additional Partner if the effect of such admission would be to cause the Partnership to have a number of Partners
      (including as Partners for this purpose those Persons indirectly owning an interest in the Partnership through another partnership, a Limited Partnership, a subchapter S corporation or a grantor trust) that would (i) cause the Partnership to become a
      reporting company under the Exchange Act or (ii) result in the Partnership at any time during its taxable year having more than 100 Partners (as determined under Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii), taking into account the provisions of Treas. Reg.
      § 1.7704-1(h)(3)).

  Section 9.02.     Events Causing Dissolution.

   

  (a)          Actions by Partners. No Partner shall take any action to dissolve, terminate or liquidate the Partnership, or require apportionment, appraisal or partition of the Partnership or any of its Assets, or file a

      dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

   

  
    27

  (i)          an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner, with the Consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Partners;

   

  (ii)         the expiration of forty-five (45) days after the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all Assets; or

   

  (iii)        any other event that results in a mandatory dissolution under the Act.

   

  Section 9.03.     Distribution upon Dissolution.

   

  (a)          Order of Distributions. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 9.02, the General Partner (or, in the event that the General Partner has dissolved, become Bankrupt or ceased to
      operate, any Person elected by a Majority-in-Interest of the Partners (the General Partner or such other Person, the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full
      account of the Partnership’s Assets and liabilities, and the Partnership’s Assets shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General
      Partner, include shares of stock in the General Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

   

  (i)          First, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s Debts and liabilities to creditors, including Partners who are creditors (other than with respect to liabilities owed to Partners in satisfaction of
      liabilities for previously declared distributions), whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof;

   

  (ii)         Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s liabilities to the Partners in satisfaction of liabilities for previously declared distributions, whether by payment or the making of reasonable

  (b)          Discretion of Liquidator and General Partner.

   

  (i)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.03(a) that require liquidation of the Assets, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if before or upon dissolution of the
      Partnership, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s Assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the
      liquidation of any Assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants-in-common and in accordance with the provisions of Section

        9.03(a), undivided interests in such Partnership Assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as
      the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of
      valuation as it may adopt.

   

  
    28

  (a)          Distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and the Partners for the purpose of liquidating Partnership Assets, collecting amounts owed to the
      Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership and/or Partnership activities. The assets of any such trust shall be
      distributed to the Partners, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or

   

  (b)          Withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to
      the Partnership, provided, that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Partners in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 9.03(a) as soon as practicable.

   

  Section 9.04.     Rights of Partners. Except as otherwise
      provided in this Agreement and subject to the rights of any Partner set forth in an Interest Designation, (a) each Partner shall look solely to the Assets for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Partner shall have the right or power to
      demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership, and (c) no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions or distributions.

   

  Section 9.05.     Termination. The Partnership shall
      terminate when all of the Assets, after payment of or due provision for all Debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Partnership, have been distributed to the Partners in the manner provided for in this Article IX and the Certificate of

      PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS

      OF PARTNERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS

   

  Section 10.01.   Actions and Consents of Partners. The
      actions requiring Consent of any Partner pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to Law are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article X.

   

  
    29

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 10.02.   Amendments. Except as otherwise required or
      permitted by this Agreement (including Section 4.1(e) and Section 4.01(f)), amendments to this Agreement must be approved by the General Partner; provided, that no amendment may be made without the consent of any Partner
      holding Common Interests that would be adversely affected by that amendment; provided, further, that the consent of any Partner holding Common Interests that would be adversely affected shall not be required for any amendment or
      action that affects all Partners holding the same class or series of Interests on a uniform or pro rata basis if that amendment or action is approved by a Majority-in-Interest of the Partners of that class or series. Additionally, Article

        XI of this Agreement shall not be amended without the prior written consent of Holdings. Upon obtaining any such Consent, or any other Consent required by this Agreement, and without further action or execution by any other Person, including
      any Partner, (i) any amendment to this Agreement may be implemented and reflected in a writing executed solely by the General Partner, and (ii) the Partners shall be deemed a party to and bound by that amendment of this Agreement.

   

  Section 10.03.   Procedures for Meetings and Actions of the
        Partners.

   

  (a)          Time; Quorum; Consent. Meetings of the Partners may be called only by the General Partner and shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all
      Partners entitled to act at the meeting not less than two (2) Business Days nor more than ninety (90) days before the date of such meeting. Partners may vote in Person or by proxy at such meeting. Unless approval by a different number or proportion
      of the Partners is required by this Agreement or any Interest Designation, the affirmative vote of a Majority-in-Interest of the Partners shall be sufficient to approve such proposal at a meeting of the Partners. Whenever the Consent of any Partners
      is permitted or required under this Agreement, such Consent may be given at a meeting of Partners or in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 10.03(b).

   

  (b)          Written Consents. Any action requiring the Consent of any Partner or a group of Partners pursuant to this Agreement or that is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken
      without a meeting if a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission and filed with the General Partner setting forth the action so taken or consented to is given by Partners whose affirmative vote would be sufficient to approve such action or
      provide such Consent at a meeting of the Partners. Such Consent may be in one or several instruments and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of such Partners at a meeting of the Partners. An action so taken shall be deemed to
      have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For purposes of obtaining a Consent in writing or by electronic transmission, the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time, and failure to respond
      in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the General Partner’s recommendation with respect to the proposal.

   

  (c)          Proxy. Each Partner entitled to act at a meeting of Partners may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving notice
      of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Each proxy must be signed by the Partner or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy
      (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Partnership’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the
      Partner executing such proxy, unless such proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.

   

  
    30

    
      
 

  

   

  (d)          Record Date for Meetings and Other Purposes.

   

  (i)          The General Partner may set, in advance, a Record Date (x) for the purpose of determining the identities of the Partners entitled to Consent to any action or entitled to receive notice of or vote at any
      meeting of the Partners or (y) to make a determination of Partners for any other proper purpose. Any such date shall not be before the close of business on the day the Record Date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety (90) days and, in the case
      of a meeting of the Partners, not less than two (2) Business Days, before the date on which the meeting is to be held.

   

  (ii)         If no Record Date is set, the Record Date for the determination of Partners entitled to notice of or vote at a meeting of the Partners shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of
      the meeting is sent, and the Record Date for any other determination of Partners shall be the effective date of such Partner action, distribution or other event. When a determination of the Partners entitled to vote at any meeting of the Partners has
      been made as provided in this Section 10.03(d), such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

   

  (e)          Conduct of Meetings. Each meeting of Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the
      General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate.

   

  (f)           Waivers. Any time period for notice with respect to meetings or consents of the Partners may be waived by a Partner as to such Partner.

   

  Article XI

      

      EXCHANGE RIGHTS

   

  Section 11.01.   Elective and Mandatory Exchanges.

   

  (a)          Elective Exchanges. Subject to the policy regarding Exchanges set forth in 0, as amended from time to time by the Partnership (the “Policy Regarding Exchanges”), an Exchangeable Interest
      Partner shall have the right, from time to time, to surrender Exchangeable Interests (free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal and similar restrictions, except for those arising under this Agreement) to the Partnership or
      the General Partner and to thereby cause the Partnership or the General Partner to deliver to that Exchangeable Interest Partner (or its designee) the Exchange Consideration as set forth in Section 11.03 (an “Elective Exchange”).

   

  (b)          Mandatory Exchange Events. Interests are subject to Mandatory Exchange in each of the following circumstances:

   

  (i)          pursuant to Section 7.04, if an Applicable Sale is determined to be a Mandatory Exchange event in the sole discretion of the General Partner;

   

  (ii)         pursuant to Section 7.05; or

   

  
    31

    
      
 

  

   

  (iii)        in the discretion of the General Partner, with the consent of Partners whose Class B Interests represent fifty percent (50%) of the Class B Interests of all Partners in the aggregate, all Partners will
      be required to exchange all Exchangeable Interests then held by the Partners.

   

  (c)          Mandatory Exchange Notices and Dates. Upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances set out in Section 11.01(b), the General Partner may exercise its right to cause a mandatory exchange of a
      Partner’s Exchangeable Interests (a “Mandatory Exchange”) by delivering to each Partner a written notice pursuant to the notice provisions in Section 12.06 (a “Mandatory Exchange Notice”). A Mandatory Exchange Notice will
      specify the basis for the Mandatory Exchange, the Exchangeable Interests of the Partnership to which the Mandatory Exchange applies, and the effective date of such Mandatory Exchange (the “Mandatory Exchange Date”), which shall be no earlier
      than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Mandatory Exchange Notice. The Partner receiving the Mandatory Exchange Notice shall use its best efforts to deliver the Certificates, as applicable, representing the applicable Exchangeable Interests
      (free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal and similar restrictions, except for those arising under this Agreement) no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Mandatory Exchange Date. Upon the Mandatory Exchange Date,
      the Partnership will effect the Mandatory Exchange.

   

  Section 11.02.   Additional Terms Applying to Exchanges.

   

  (a)          Rights of Exchangeable Interest Partner. On an Exchange Date, all rights of the Exchangeable Interest Partner as a holder of the Exchangeable Interests shall cease, and, unless the Partnership or General
      Partner, as applicable, has elected Cash Settlement as to all Exchangeable Interests tendered, the General Partner shall cause the transfer agent or registrar of the General Partner to update the stock register of the General Partner such that the
      Exchangeable Interest Partner (or its designee) is a record holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be received by the Exchangeable Interest Partner (or its designee) in respect of such Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, if the
      Exchangeable Interests are Class B Interests, upon such Exchange, the Exchangeable Interest Partner shall surrender to the Corporation the number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such Class B Interest Partner equal to the number of
      Exchangeable Interests subject to such Exchange.

   

  (b)          Right of the General Partner to Acquire Exchangeable Interests. The General Partner shall have the right but not the obligation to have the General Partner (in lieu of the Partnership) acquire Exchangeable
      Interests directly from an Exchangeable Interest Partner in exchange for the elected Exchange Consideration.

   

  (c)          Expenses. Except as otherwise agreed by the Partnership or the General Partner, the Partnership and each Exchangeable Interest Partner shall bear their own expenses
      in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Partnership or the General Partner shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or
      other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Elective Exchange in a name other than that of the
      Exchangeable Interest Partner that requested the Exchange (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such Partner) or the Cash
      Settlement is to be paid to a Person other than the Exchangeable Interest Partner that requested the Exchange, then such Partner or the Person in whose name such shares are to be delivered or to whom the Cash Settlement is to be paid shall pay to the
      General Partner (or the Partnership at the General Partner’s direction) the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable
      satisfaction of the General Partner that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

   

  
    32

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 11.03.   Exchange Consideration; Settlement.

   

  (a)          Generally. the General Partner has the right, in its sole discretion, to elect the form of Exchange Consideration with respect to any Exchange. On an Exchange Date, provided the Exchangeable Interest
      Partner has satisfied its obligations under Annex D and not validly retracted such proposed Exchange, the General Partner shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Exchange Consideration to such Exchangeable Interest Partner (or its
      designee), at the address set forth on the applicable Exchange Notice. If the General Partner elects a Cash Settlement, the General Partner shall only be obligated to contribute to the Partnership (or, if the General Partner elects to settle directly
      pursuant to Section 11.02(b), settle directly for an amount equal to) an amount in respect of such Cash Settlement equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the sale by the General Partner
      of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Exchangeable Interests being Exchanged for such Cash Settlement. Except as otherwise required by Law, the General Partner shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be treated as
      paying an appropriate portion of the selling expenses described in the previous sentence as agent for and on behalf of the Exchangeable Interest Partner.

   

  (b)          Notice of Intended Exchange Consideration. On the later of (i) at least two (2) Business Days before the Exchange Date and (ii) one (1) Business Day after receiving an Elective Exchange Notice, the General
      Partner shall give written notice to the Partnership (with a copy to the Exchangeable Interest Partner) of its intended Exchange Consideration. If the General Partner does not timely deliver such written notice, the General Partner shall be deemed to
      have elected to settle the Exchange with shares of Class A Common Stock.

   

  (c)          Settlement through Depository Trust Company. To the extent the Class A Common Stock is settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the General Partner or the Partnership will, upon the
      written instruction of an Exchangeable Interest Partner, deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such Exchangeable Interest Partner through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to the account of the participant of The
      Depository Trust Company designated by such Exchangeable Interest Partner in the Exchange Notice.

   

  (d)          Obligations of the General Partner and the Partnership. Upon any Exchange, the General Partner or the Partnership, as applicable, shall take such actions as (i) may be required to ensure that such Partner
      receives the shares of Class A Common Stock and/or the Cash Settlement that such Exchangeable Interest Partner is entitled to receive in connection with such Exchange pursuant to Section 11.03(a), and (ii) may be reasonably within its control
      that would cause such Exchange to be treated as a direct exchange between the General Partner and the Partner for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

   

  
    33

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 11.04.   Adjustment. To the extent not reflected in
      an adjustment to the Exchange Rate, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed or exchanged into or for another security, securities or
      other property, then, upon any subsequent Exchange, an Exchangeable Interest Partner shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Exchangeable Interest Partner would have received if such Exchange
      had occurred immediately before the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend,
      reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such
      reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is
      converted or changed or exchanged into or for another security, securities or other property, this Section 11.04 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.

   

  Section 11.05.   Class A Common Stock to Be Issued in Connection
        with an Exchange.

   

  (a)          Class A Common Stock Reserve. The General Partner shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange,
      such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be deliverable under this Agreement upon all such Exchanges; provided, however, that the General Partner may satisfy its obligations in respect of any such Exchange by delivery of
      unencumbered purchased shares of Class A Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of the General Partner or any subsidiary thereof).

   

  (b)          Rule 16(b) Exemption. The General Partner has taken and will take all such steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and
      be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions or dispositions of equity securities of the General Partner (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities that may be deemed to be equity
      securities or derivative securities of the General Partner for such purposes that result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each director or officer of the General Partner (including directors-by-deputization) who may reasonably
      be expected to be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the General Partner upon the registration of any class of equity security of the General Partner pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

   

  (c)          Validity of Class A Common Stock. The General Partner covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not
      subject to any preemptive right of stockholders of the General Partner or any right of first refusal or other right in favor of any Person.

   

  
    34

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 11.06.  Withholding. Each Partner acknowledges and
      agrees that the Partnership may be required by Law to deduct and withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations in respect of any Exchange, as provided in Section 4.10(c) of Annex B.

   

  Section 11.07.  Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise agreed to in
      writing by the Exchangeable Interest Partner and the General Partner, it is intended that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, each Exchange be treated as direct exchange between the General Partner and the
      Exchangeable Interest Partner that is a taxable transaction to the Exchangeable Interest Partner. All applicable parties shall treat each Exchange consistently with the intended treatment for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax
      purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

   

  Section 11.08.  Contribution by the General Partner. On the
      Exchange Date (i) the General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership the shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Cash Settlement that the General Partner has elected to deliver and that the Partner is entitled to receive in the applicable Exchange
      and (ii) the Partnership shall issue to the General Partner a number of Class A Interests equal to the number of Exchangeable Interests surrendered by the Partner.

      MISCELLANEOUS

   

  Section 12.01.   Conclusive Nature of Determinations. All
      determinations, interpretations, calculations, adjustments and other actions of the General Partner, the Partnership, the Board of Directors (or a committee to which the Board of Directors has delegated such authority), or a designee of any of the
      foregoing that are within such Person’s authority under this Agreement shall be binding and conclusive on a Partner absent manifest error. In connection with any such determination, interpretation, calculation, adjustment, or other action, the
      General Partner, the Partnership, the Board of Directors (or a committee to which the Board of Directors has delegated such authority), or the designee of any of the foregoing shall be entitled to resolve any ambiguity with respect to the manner in
      which such determination, interpretation, calculation, adjustment or other action is to be made or taken, and shall be entitled to interpret the provisions of this Agreement in such a manner as such Person determines to be fair and equitable, and

  Section 12.02.   Partnership Counsel. THE PARTNERSHIP, THE
      GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES MAY BE REPRESENTED BY THE SAME COUNSEL. THE ATTORNEYS, ACCOUNTANTS AND OTHER EXPERTS WHO PERFORM SERVICES FOR THE PARTNERSHIP MAY ALSO PERFORM SERVICES FOR THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES THEREOF. THE
      GENERAL PARTNER MAY, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE PARTNERS, EXECUTE ON BEHALF OF THE PARTNERSHIP ANY CONSENT TO THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP THAT COUNSEL MAY REQUEST PURSUANT TO THE NEW YORK RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT OR SIMILAR RULES IN
      ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE PARTNERSHIP HAS INITIALLY SELECTED FREDERIC DORWART, LAWYERS PLLC (“PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL”) AND GIBSON, DUNN & CRUTCHER LLP (“PARTNERSHIP TAX COUNSEL”) AS LEGAL COUNSEL TO THE PARTNERSHIP (COLLECTIVELY, “LEGAL

        COUNSEL”). EACH PARTNER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LEGAL COUNSEL DOES NOT REPRESENT ANY PARTNER IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH IN THE ABSENCE OF A CLEAR AND EXPLICIT WRITTEN AGREEMENT TO SUCH EFFECT BETWEEN SUCH PARTNER AND PARTNERSHIP COUNSEL (AND THEN ONLY
      TO THE EXTENT SPECIALLY SET FORTH IN SUCH AGREEMENT), AND THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY SUCH AGREEMENT LEGAL COUNSEL SHALL OWE NO DUTIES TO ANY PARTNER. EACH PARTNER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, WHETHER OR NOT LEGAL COUNSEL HAS IN THE PAST REPRESENTED OR

  (ii)          the Asset Values of all Assets shall be adjusted
      to equal their respective gross Fair Market Values as determined by the Partnership as of the following times: (A) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner, in exchange for more than a de minimis
      Capital Contribution; (B) the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an interest in the Partnership; (C) the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Treas.
      Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); (D) the grant of an interest in the Partnership (other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the provision of services to the benefit of the Partnership by an existing Partner acting in a Partner

  (iii)         the Asset Value of any Asset distributed to any
      Partner shall be the gross Fair Market Value of such Asset on the date of distribution, as determined by the Partnership; and

      (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such Assets pursuant to Code section 734(b) or Code section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to
      Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m); provided, however, that Asset Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (iv) to the extent that the Partnership determines that an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this

  If the Asset Value of an Asset has been determined or adjusted to paragraph (i), (ii), or

      Net Profits or Net Losses;

   

  (iv)         gain or loss resulting from any disposition of
      any Asset with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Asset Value of the Asset disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such Asset differs from its Asset

      in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the Asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the Asset) from the disposition of the Asset and shall be
      taken into account for purposes of computing Net Profits and Net Losses;

   

  (vii)        notwithstanding any other provision of this

      with respect to Nonrecourse Liabilities, to the Asset Values of the Assets securing such liabilities), and (iii) distribute the remaining proceeds pursuant to the applicable provision of this Agreement, minus (b) the sum of (x) such Partner’s share
      of the Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and (y) the amount, if any (without duplication of any amount included under clause (x)), that such Partner is obligated (or is deemed for U.S. tax purposes to be obligated) to
      contribute, in its capacity as a Partner, to the capital of the Partnership as of the last day of such Fiscal Year.

      with clauses (i) – (iv) of the preceding sentence).

   

  (b)          Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any
      Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their Interests, unless otherwise determined by the Partnership.

      Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(i)(l).

   

  (d)          Special Basis Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment

      Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of such Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis
      of the Asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to
      the Partner to whom such distribution was made in the event Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

   

  (e)          Ameliorative Allocations. Any allocations made (as
      well as anticipated reversing or offsetting regulatory allocations to be made) pursuant to Section 3.2(a)-(d) of this Annex B shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this Agreement, so that the net

      Agreement if those allocations had not occurred.

  (a)          In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section

        3.3 of this Annex B, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations, each Partnership item of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of
      income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit (as calculated for purposes of allocating Net Profits or Net Loss) is allocated pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 of this Annex B.

   

  (b)          Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding the
      provisions of Section 3.3(a) of this Annex B to the contrary, in accordance with Code section 704(c)(1)(A) (and the principles of those provisions) and Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3, Partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and
      credit with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership, or after Partnership property has been revalued under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) or (s), shall, solely for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, be
      allocated among the Partners so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such Partnership property to the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its value as so determined at the time of the contribution or
      revaluation of Partnership property. Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner (with the consent of Holdings), the Partnership shall use the “traditional method” with respect to (i) any property contributed to the Partnership before the IPO
      and (ii) “reverse section 704(c) allocations” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3(a)(6)) arising before or in connection with the IPO. With respect to property contributed or section 704(c) amounts arising from revaluations made after the
      IPO, the Partnership may use any method permitted under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3. Allocations pursuant to ‎Section 3.3(a) and this Section 3.3(b) of this Annex B are solely for U.S. federal, state, and local tax purposes and shall
      not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of profit, loss, or other items, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

   

  
    B-5

    
      
 

  

   

  (c)          Allocations in Respect of Varying Interests. If any
      Partner’s interest in the Partnership varies (within the meaning of Code section 706(d)) within a Fiscal Year, whether by reason of a Transfer of an Interest, redemption of an Interest by the Partnership, or otherwise, Net Profits and Net Losses for
      that Fiscal Year will be allocated so as to take into account such varying interests in accordance with Code section 706(d) using the daily proration method and/or such other permissible method, methods, or conventions selected by the Partnership.

   

  (d)          Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Profits and Net
        Loss. Net Profits and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year as of the end of each such year, or at such other time or times determined by the Partnership.

   

  (e)          Modification of Allocations. The allocations set forth
      in Section 3.1 and ‎Section 3.2 of this Annex B are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. The Partnership shall be authorized to make, in its reasonable discretion, appropriate modifications to the
      allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses pursuant to this Agreement in order to comply with Code section 704 or applicable Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Partnership reasonably determines an
      allocation other than the allocations that would otherwise be made pursuant to this Agreement would more appropriately reflect the Partners’ interests in the Partnership, the Partnership may in its discretion make appropriate adjustments to such
      allocations.

   

  (f)           Allocation of Liabilities under Code Section 752.
      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Partner will take, or permit any Affiliate to take, any action that would change the allocation of liabilities for purposes of Code section 752 without the consent of the Partnership.

   

  Article IV

      

      Certain Tax Matters

   

  Section 4.1            Provision of Information.

   

  (a)          Information to Be Provided by the Partnership to
        Partners. No later than thirty (30) days after the filing by the Partnership of the Partnership’s federal tax return (Federal Form 1065), the Partnership shall provide to each Partner a copy of Schedule K-1 of Federal Form 1065 reporting that
      Partner’s allocable share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit for such Fiscal Year, and such additional information as is required to be provided on Schedule K-1 or as such Partner may reasonably request for tax purposes, each as
      determined by the Partnership. The Partner hereby consents to receive each Schedule K-1 in respect of the Partner’s LLC Interest in the Partnership through electronic delivery.

   

  
    B-6

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)               Information to Be Provided by Partners to the Partnership.

   

  (i)          Notice of Audit or Tax Examination. Each Partner
      shall notify the Partnership within five (5) days after receipt of any notice regarding an audit or tax examination of the Partnership and upon any request for material information related to the Partnership by U.S. federal, state, local, or other
      tax authorities.

   

  (ii)         Other Relevant Tax Information. Each Partner shall
      provide to the Partnership upon request tax basis information about Assets contributed by it to the Partnership and such other tax information as reasonably requested by the Partnership and necessary for it to prepare its financial reports or any tax
      returns and such other information and/or tax forms as the Partnership reasonably requests.

   

  (c)          No Right to Partner Tax Returns. Notwithstanding

      anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any right to information under the Act, with respect to the financial statements or tax returns of a Partner or its Affiliates, none of the Partnership, the other Partners, such other Partner’s Affiliates
      or any of their respective representatives, will be entitled to review such financial statements or tax returns for any purpose, including in connection with any proceeding or other dispute (whether involving the Partnership, between the Partners, or
      involving any other Persons).

   

  Section 4.2            Tax Elections. The Partnership shall have
      in effect (and shall cause each Subsidiary that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes to have in effect) an election pursuant to Code section 754 (and any similar provisions of applicable U.S. state or local law) for the
      Partnership for the Fiscal Year that includes the date of the IPO and each Fiscal Year in which a sale or exchange (whether partial or complete) occurs. The Partnership shall determine whether to make any other available election pursuant to the Code
      or Regulations that is not otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, and the Partners hereby consent to all such elections.

   

  Section 4.3            Tax Representative.

   

  (a)          Appointment and Replacement of Tax Representative.

   

  (i)          Tax Representative. For each taxable year, including
      Fiscal Years before the date of this Agreement, the Partnership shall act as the Tax Representative, but the Partnership may designate another Person to act as the Tax Representative and may remove, replace, or revoke the designation of any Person
      serving as the Tax Representative, or require that Person to resign. For any jurisdiction with respect to which the Partnership cannot serve as the Tax Representative, however, the General Partner shall act as the Tax Representative, unless otherwise
      determined by the Partnership.

   

  (ii)         Designated Individual. If the Tax Representative is
      not an individual, the Partnership shall appoint a “designated individual” for each taxable year (as described in Treas. Reg. § 301.6223-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “Designated Individual”).

   

  
    B-7

    
      
 

  

   

   

  (iii)        Approval by Partners. For each taxable year since
      the formation of the Partnership, each Partner agrees to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file, and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to evidence the appointments
      described in Section 4.3(a)(i) and Section 4.3(a)(ii) of this Annex B, including statements required to be filed with the tax returns of the Partnership in order to effect the designation of the Tax Representative or
      Designated Individual (and any successor).

   

  (b)          Authority of the Tax Representative; Delegation of
        Authority. The Tax Representative shall have all of the rights, duties, powers, and obligations provided for under the Code, Regulations, or other applicable guidance; provided, that, if a Person other than the Partnership is the Tax
      Representative, the Tax Representative shall in all cases act solely at the direction of the Partnership. The Tax Representative may delegate its authority under this Section 4.3(b) of this Annex B to a Designated Individual who shall
      in all cases act solely at the direction of the Partnership.

   

  (c)          Costs and Indemnification of Tax Representative and
        Designated Individual. Without duplication of the provisions of Section 4.3(b) of this Annex B, the Partnership shall pay, or to the extent the Tax Representative or Designated Individual pays, indemnify and reimburse, to the
      fullest extent permitted by Law, the Tax Representative or Designated Individual for all costs and expenses, including legal and accounting fees (as such fees are incurred) and any claims incurred in connection with any tax audit or judicial review
      proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Partnership.

   

  Section 4.4            Tax Audits.

   

  (a)          Determinations with Respect to Audits and Other Tax
        Controversies. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable tax Law (including Code section 6241(11)), the Partnership (acting directly and/or through the Tax Representative or Designated Individual) shall have the sole authority to
      make all decisions and determinations with respect to, and shall have sole authority with respect to the conduct of, tax audits or other tax controversies with respect to the Partnership, and any action taken by the Partnership (acting directly
      and/or through the Tax Representative or Designated Individual) in connection with any such audits or controversies shall be binding upon the Partnership and the Partners and former Partners.

   

  (b)          Determinations with Respect to Elections. The
      Partnership may make the election “out” under Code section 6221(b) if such an election is available, unless otherwise determined by the Partnership. If the Partnership does not make the election described in the preceding sentence, the Partnership
      (acting directly and/or through the Tax Representative or Designated Individual) shall have the sole authority to determine whether to cause the Partnership to make a Push Out Election with respect to any adjustment that could result in an imputed
      underpayment (within the meaning of Code section 6225) (an “Imputed Underpayment”).

   

  (c)          Responsibility for Payment of Tax; Former Partners.

   

  (i)          Imputed Underpayment Share. To the extent the
      Partnership is liable for any Imputed Underpayment, the Partnership shall determine the liability of the Partners for a share of such Imputed Underpayment, taking into account the Partners’ Interests and the status and actions of the Partners
      (including those described in Code section 6225(c)) (such share, an “Imputed Underpayment Share”).

   

  
    B-8

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)         Payment of Imputed Underpayment Share. The
      Partnership may (A) require a Partner who is liable for an Imputed Underpayment Share to pay the amount of its Imputed Underpayment Share to the Partnership within ten (10) days after the date on which the Partnership notifies the Partner (and in the
      manner required by the notice) and/or (B) reduce future distributions to the Partner, such that the amount determined under clauses (A) and (B) equals the Partner’s Imputed Underpayment Share, provided, however, that no Partner shall
      have an obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to any Imputed Underpayment. If a Partner fails to pay any amount that it is required to pay the Partnership in respect of an Imputed Underpayment Share within
      such ten (10) day period, that amount shall be treated as a loan to the Partner, bearing interest at ten (10) percent annually (which interest shall increase the Partner’s Imputed Underpayment Share). Such loan shall be repayable upon demand by the
      Partnership. If the Partner fails to repay the loan upon demand, the full balance of the loan shall be immediately due (including accrued but unpaid interest) and the Partnership shall have the right to collect the balance in any manner it
      determines, including by reducing future distributions to that Partner; provided, however, that no Partner may have any Imputed Underpayment Share treated as a loan to the extent it would violate Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
      of 2002. Any Partner not permitted to treat its Imputed Underpayment Share as a loan due to the provisions of the previous sentence shall pay any Imputed Underpayment Share within ten (10) days after the date of the notice referred to in the first
      sentence of this Section 4.4(c)(ii) of this Annex B.

   

  Section 4.5           No Independent Actions or Inconsistent
          Positions. Except as required by Law or previously authorized in writing by the Partnership (which authorization may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Partnership), no Partner shall (i) independently act with respect to tax
      matters (including, but not limited to, audits, litigation and controversies) affecting or arising from the Partnership, or (ii) treat any Partnership item inconsistently on such Partner’s income tax return with the treatment of the item on the
      Partnership’s tax return and/or the Schedule K-1 (or other written information statement) provided to such Partner. Solely to the extent required by Law, this Section 4.5 of this Annex B shall not apply with respect to any “special
      enforcement matter” described in Code section 6241(11).

   

  Section 4.6          United States Person. Except as
      permitted by the Partnership, each Partner represents and covenants that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is and will at all times remain a “United States person,” within the meaning of Code section 7701, or is a disregarded entity the
      assets of which are treated as owned by a United States person under Treas. Reg. §§ 301.7701-1, 301.7701-2, and 301.7701-3.

   

  Section 4.7          State, Local, and Non-U.S. Tax Law.
      The provisions of this Agreement with respect to U.S. federal income tax shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any similar provisions of state, local, or non-U.S. tax law as determined by the Partnership.

   

  Section 4.8          Survival of Obligations. For
      purposes of this Article IV of this Annex B, the term “Partner” shall include a former Partner to the extent determined by the Partnership. The rights and obligations of each Partner and former Partner under this Article IV of
      this Annex B shall survive the Transfer by such Partner of its Interests (or withdrawal by a Partner or redemption of a Partner’s Interests) and the dissolution of the Partnership until ninety (90) days after the applicable statute of
      limitations. Section 4.3 (Tax Representative), Section 4.4 (Tax Audits), and this Section 4.8 (Survival of Obligations) of this Annex B shall not be amended without the prior written consent of any
      Partner or former Partner that would be adversely impacted by such amendment.

   

  
    B-9

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 4.9          Tax Classification. The parties
      intend that the Partnership shall be classified as a partnership for United States federal, state, and local tax purposes. The parties intend that the Subsidiaries of the Partnership currently classified either as disregarded entities or as
      partnerships for United States federal, state, and local tax purposes as of the date of this Agreement shall remain classified either as disregarded entities or as partnerships for United States federal, state, and local tax purposes. No Person shall
      take any action inconsistent with such classifications.

   

  Section 4.10         Withholding.

   

  (a)          Withholding Generally. Each Partner
      acknowledges and agrees that the Partnership may be required by Law to deduct and withhold taxes or to fulfill other similar obligations of such Partner on any amount paid, distributed, disbursed, or allocated by the Partnership to that Partner,
      including upon liquidation, and any transferee of a Partner’s interest or a Substituted Partner shall, by reason of such Transfer or substitution, acknowledge, and agree to any such withholding by the Partnership, including withholding to discharge
      obligations of the Partnership with respect to prior distributions, allocations, or an Imputed Underpayment Share (to the extent not otherwise borne by the transferor Partner pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Annex B). All amounts
      withheld pursuant to this Section 4.10 of this Annex B shall, except as otherwise determined by the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.4(c)(ii) of this Annex B, be treated as amounts distributed to such Person pursuant
      to the provision of this Agreement that would have applied if such amount had actually been distributed.

   

  (b)          Additional Provisions with Respect to a Transfer of
          Interests. A Partner transferring Interests permitted by this Agreement shall, unless otherwise determined by the Partnership, (i) deliver to the Partnership, between ten (10) days and thirty (30) days before the Transfer, an affidavit of
      non-foreign status with respect to such transferor Partner that satisfies the requirements of Code section 1446(f)(2) or other documentation establishing a valid exemption from withholding pursuant to Code section 1446(f) or (ii) ensure that,
      contemporaneously with the Transfer, the transferee of such interest properly withholds and remits to the IRS the amount of tax required to be withheld upon the Transfer by Code section 1446(f) (and promptly provide evidence to the Partnership of
      such withholding and remittance). If a Partner transferring Interests will not satisfy clause (i) in connection with any such Transfer, the transferor Partner and transferee of such interest shall agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold
      harmless the Partnership against any loss (including taxes, interest, penalties, and any related expenses) arising out of any failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.10(b) of this Annex B.

   

  (c)          Additional Provisions with Respect to an Exchange of
          Interests.

   

  (i)          Withholding of Cash or Class A Common Stock Permitted.
      If (x) the Partnership or the General Partner shall be required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations in respect of any Exchange or (y) the applicable Partner has unpaid amounts described
      in Section 4.4(c) of this Annex B, the Partnership, or the General Partner, as the case may be, shall be entitled to take such action as it deems appropriate in order to ensure compliance with such withholding requirements or satisfy such
      payment obligations, including, at its option, withholding cash from the Cash Settlement or shares of Class A Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of any taxes that the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, may
      be required to withhold or the Partner may be required to pay with respect to such Exchange. To the extent that amounts are (or property is) so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts (or property) shall be
      treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid (or delivered) to the applicable Partner.

   

  
    B-10

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)               Notice of Withholding. If the Partnership or
      the General Partner determines that any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations are required to be withheld in respect of any Exchange, the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, shall use
      commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Exchangeable Interest Partner and shall consider in good faith any positions or alternative arrangements that such Partner raises (reasonably in advance of the date on which the Partnership or
      the General Partner believes withholding is required) as to why withholding is not required or that may avoid the need for such withholding, provided, that neither the Partnership nor the General Partner is required to incur additional costs as a
      result of such obligation, and this Section 4.10(c)(ii) of this Annex B shall not in any manner limit the authority of the Partnership or the General Partner to withhold taxes with respect to an Exchangeable Interest Partner pursuant
      to Section 4.10(c)(i) of this Annex B.

   

  (iii)        Reimbursement of Taxes by Exchangeable Interest Partner.
      If, within the two-year period beginning at the start of the date of an Exchange, (i) the General Partner withholds or otherwise pays any amount on account of taxes in respect of exchanged Interests, which amount is attributable to the two-year
      period ending at the end of the date of such Exchange, and (ii) the General Partner or any Person other than the Exchangeable Interest Partner otherwise would bear the economic burden of such withholding or other payment (including by reason of such
      amount being treated as having been distributed to the General Partner in respect of the Exchangeable Interests pursuant to Section 4.10 of this Annex B), the Exchangeable Interest Partner shall, upon notice by the Partnership and/or
      the General Partner, promptly reimburse the Partnership and/or the General Partner for such amount; provided, however, that the Exchangeable Interest Partner’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 4.10(c)(iii) of this Annex B
      shall not exceed the amount of cash and Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of receipt) of other consideration received by the Exchangeable Interest Partner in connection with such Exchange. Unless otherwise required by Law, any amount paid
      by an Exchangeable Interest Partner pursuant to this Section 4.10(c)(iii) of this Annex B shall be treated as an adjustment to the proceeds received by the Exchangeable Interest Partner in respect of the applicable Exchange. The
      Partnership and the General Partner shall have the right to reduce any amounts due to such Exchangeable Interest Partner from the General Partner or any of its Affiliates by the amount owed by such Exchangeable Interest Partner under this Section
        4.10(c)(iii) of this Annex B.

  ANNEX D: POLICY REGARDING EXCHANGES

   

  This Policy Regarding Exchanges (the “Policy”) is made pursuant
      to, and supplements the provisions of, Article XI of the Agreement. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Policy have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. Except as otherwise specified, article and section references herein refer to
      Articles and Sections of this Policy.

   

  Article I 

  

  ELECTIVE EXCHANGES; NOTICE

   

  Section 1.1            Elective Exchanges.

   

  (a)          Elective Exchange Notice. Subject to the provisions of
      this Policy and Article XI of the Agreement, each Exchangeable Interest Partner may request an Elective Exchange of some or all of its Exchangeable Interests by delivering to the Partnership, with a copy to the General Partner, in a form reasonably
      acceptable to the Partnership, a written election of exchange in respect of the Elective Exchange (an “Elective Exchange Notice”) at least two Business Days before the requested Elective Exchange Date (it being understood that the Elective
      Exchange Date may be delayed by the Exchangeable Interest Partner giving the Elective Exchange Notice by written notice, which may be by e-mail, to the Partnership).

   

  (b)          Acceptance of Elective Exchange Notice. Unless the
      Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, has refused to honor the request or has modified one or more terms in the Elective Exchange Notice pursuant to this Policy, the Partnership or General Partner, as applicable, will effect the Elective
      Exchange (either in full or as modified) on the applicable Elective Exchange Date in accordance with this Policy; provided that if the Partnership and the General Partner receive an Elective Exchange Notice less than five (5) Business Days before the
      requested Elective Exchange Date, they shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect the requested Elective Exchange on the requested Elective Exchange Date, and in any event effect such Elective Exchange Date within five (5) Business
      Days of their receipt of such Elective Exchange Notice.

   

  Section 1.2            Retraction of Elective Exchange Notice.

   

  (a)          Ability to Retract; Retraction Deadline. Holdings
      shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time between the date of delivery of its Elective Exchange Notice and (i) 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day before the applicable Exchange Date (in respect of any portion of the Exchange for
      which the Partnership or the General Partner has elected Stock Consideration) and (ii) 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on the day pricing information regarding a Liquidity Offering is delivered to Holdings (in respect of any portion of the Exchange for which
      the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, has elected Cash Settlement) (such time, as applicable, the “Retraction Deadline”) to retract or amend its Elective Exchange Notice by delivering a Retraction Notice pursuant to Section

        1.2(b). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no Exchangeable Interest Partner shall have a right to deliver a Retraction Notice.

   

  
    D-1

    
      
 

  

  
   

  (b)          Retraction Notice. Holdings may retract its Elective
      Exchange Notice, in whole or in part, by delivering written notice no later than the Retraction Deadline (a “Retraction Notice”) to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner). Holdings’ delivery of a Retraction Notice shall be
      irrevocable and, to the extent specified in such Retraction Notice, shall terminate Holdings’, the Partnership’s, and the General Partner’s rights and obligations with respect to the Exchangeable Interests being withdrawn from the applicable Elective
      Exchange, and all actions taken to effect the Elective Exchange contemplated by that retracted Elective Exchange Notice with respect to such Exchangeable Interests being withdrawn from the applicable Elective Exchange shall be deemed rescinded and
      void.

   

  Article II

      OTHER RESTRICTIONS

   

  Section 2.1          Additional Restrictions. Notwithstanding
      any provision of this Policy to the contrary, the Partnership may prohibit an Exchange by one or more Exchangeable Interest Partners under any of the following conditions and determinations made by the Partnership based on the advice of counsel
      (which may be external or internal counsel):

   

  (a)          If an Exchange is (or is reasonably likely to be) prohibited
      under applicable law, regulation, or agreement to which the Partnership or an affiliate is a party or could reasonably be expected to result in a bona fide legal or regulatory proceeding against the Partnership, the General Partner or its Affiliates;

   

  (b)          If the Partnership possesses material non-public information
      that would reasonably be expected to affect the trading price of the Class A Common Stock that is not known to the Exchangeable Interest Partner;

   

  (c)          If such Exchange would create a material risk that the
      Partnership would be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal, state, or local income tax purposes; or

   

  (d)          If an Exchangeable Interest Partner would be prohibited from
      holding Common Stock under the Agreement, such Exchangeable Interest Partner shall not be permitted to Exchange its Exchangeable Interests except to the extent the General Partner determines to settle the Exchange in cash pursuant to Section
        11.03 of the Agreement.

   

  Article III  

  MISCELLANEOUS

   

  Section 3.1            Continuing Application of Partnership’s
        Policies and Securities Laws. Nothing in this Policy shall affect, and each Exchangeable Interest Partner shall remain subject to, the Partnership’s Policies. All Exchangeable Interest Partners shall comply with all applicable securities laws
      and rules.

   

  
    E-2

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 3.2            Mandatory Exchanges. This Policy shall
      not apply to any Exchange of Exchangeable Interests pursuant to a Mandatory Exchange, as described in, and pursuant to, the Agreement.

   

  Section 3.3          Modification of Policy. The Partnership may
      modify this Policy at any time without notice, provided, that this Policy shall not be modified without the prior written consent of Holdings if Holdings would be adversely impacted by that modification. No revised Policy will be effective
      until the Partnership has delivered or made available a copy of such revised Policy to the Exchangeable Interest Partners.

   

  Section 3.4           Exemption and other Requests by an
        Exchangeable Interest Partner. The Partnership may, in its discretion and based on the advice of counsel (which may be external or internal counsel), consider and grant requests from Exchangeable Interest Partners, including, for an Exchange to
      be subject to one or more contingencies relating to the Partnership or the General Partner, or any other matter with respect to Exchanges (to the extent permitted by the Agreement and applicable law). An Exchangeable Interest Partner may request an
      exemption from this Policy by submitting a written request to the Partnership and following the delivery requirements set forth in Article I as if the written request were an Elective Exchange Notice.

  WHEREAS, the Corporation is the general partner of the Company;

   

  WHEREAS, the Company and the Corporation have determined to offer Class A common stock of the
      Corporation (“Class A Shares”) in an initial public offering (the “IPO”) and, in connection with the execution of this Agreement, have undertaken or committed to undertake the transactions described in the registration statement on Form

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective covenants and agreements
      set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the undersigned parties agree as follows:

   

  ARTICLE I

      DETERMINATION OF REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

   

  Section 1.01        Realized Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties intend that, for a Taxable Year, the excess, if any, of (a) the Hypothetical Tax
      Liability over the Actual Tax Liability (such excess, the “Realized Tax Benefit”) or (b) the Actual Tax Liability over the Hypothetical Tax Liability (such excess, the “Realized Tax Detriment”) shall measure the decrease or increase
      (respectively) in the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year that is attributable to the Tax Assets, determined using a “with and without” methodology (that is, treating the Tax Assets as the last tax attributes used in such Taxable Year). If all
      or a portion of the Actual Tax Liability 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 or Realized Tax Detriment unless and
      until there has been a Determination with respect to that portion of the Actual Tax Liability.

   

  Section 1.02        Assumptions, Conventions, and Principles for Calculations. The Actual Tax Liability shall be the liability for Taxes of the Corporation as reflected on the relevant Corporate Tax Return (using such
      reasonable methods as the Corporation determines), modified as necessary to take into account the following assumptions, conventions, principles, and adjustments:

   

  (a)          Treatment of Tax Benefit Payments. Tax Benefit Payments paid to
      the Foundation shall be treated in part as Imputed Interest and in part as additional purchase price for the Foundation Assets. Tax Benefits Payments paid to any LP TRA Holder shall be treated (i) if such payment is being made before an Exchange, as
      a guaranteed payment described in section 707(c) of the Code, and (ii) if such payment is being made following an Exchange by such LP TRA Holder (or its predecessor in interest), in part as Imputed Interest and in part as additional purchase price
      for the Interests. Tax Benefit Payments (other than amounts accounted for as Imputed Interest) arising as a result of an Exchange or a payment in respect of the Foundation Assets shall be treated as upward purchase price adjustments that give rise to
      further Tax Assets that shall be incorporated into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate.

   

  (b)         Imputed Interest. The Actual Tax Liability shall take into
      account the deduction of the portion of each Tax Benefit Payment (if any) that is accounted for as Imputed Interest under the Code due to the characterization of such Tax Benefit Payments as additional consideration payable by the Corporation for the
      Interests acquired in connection with an Exchange or the Foundation Asset Purchase, as applicable.

   

  

  
    - 2 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (c)           Carryovers and Carrybacks. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax
      Items attributable to the Tax Assets shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of
      any Tax Item includes a portion that is attributable to a Tax Asset and another portion that is not, the portion attributable to the Tax Asset shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology (that is, treating the
      Tax Assets as the last Tax attributes used in such Taxable Year).

   

  (d)           Treatment of State and Local and Non-United States Taxes. The
      provisions of this Agreement, including the assumptions, conventions, and principles with respect to the determination of income and gain, shall apply to state and local and non-United States tax matters mutatis mutandis.

   

  (e)           Non-Stepped-Up Tax Basis. The Actual Tax Liability for each
      Taxable Year shall be calculated by assuming that each Adjusted Asset had a tax basis equal to its Non-Stepped Up Tax Basis as of immediately before each applicable Exchange (for purposes of measuring the Basis Adjustment resulting from such
      Exchange).

   

  (f)            Subsidiaries. If the Corporation holds any Interests
      indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries, the Actual Tax Liability for each Taxable Year shall be calculated by assuming that (x) such Subsidiary did not exist and (y) the Corporation held all such Interests directly.

   

  Section 1.03         Procedures Relating to Calculation of Tax Benefits.

   

  (a)           Preparation and Delivery of Schedules.

   

  (i)           Basis Schedule. Within 120 days after the filing of the U.S.
      federal income Tax Return of the Company for its first Taxable Year and each Taxable Year in which any Exchange has occurred, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Representative a schedule (the “Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable
      detail (as applicable), (v) the actual IPO Basis of each asset of the Company and any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries immediately following the end of such Taxable Year and each prior Taxable Year ending after the date of this Agreement (w)
      the actual Common Basis of the Adjusted Assets as of each Exchange Date, (x) the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Adjusted Assets as a result of the Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year and all prior Taxable Years ending after the date of this
      Agreement, calculated (1) in the aggregate and (2) with respect to Exchanges by each TRA Holder, (y) the period or periods, if any, over which the Common Basis of the Adjusted Assets is amortizable and/or depreciable, and (z) the period or periods,
      if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable. The calculations required by this Agreement, shall be made in accordance with the Basis Schedule. If any calculation is required to be made before the Basis Schedule is
      agreed upon, reasonable estimates shall be used.

   

  

  
    - 3 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)          Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 120 days after the filing of the
      U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for any Taxable Year ending after the date of this Agreement, the Corporation shall provide to the TRA Representative a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation, for such Taxable Year,
      of (A) the Hypothetical Tax Liability, (B) the Actual Tax Liability, and (C) the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, if any ((A)-(C) collectively, a “Tax Benefit Schedule”).

   

  (iii)         Supporting Material; Review Right. Each time the Corporation
      delivers to a TRA Representative a Basis Schedule or a Tax Benefit Schedule, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 1.03(c), the Corporation shall also deliver to the TRA Representative schedules and work papers
      providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the schedule and a Supporting Letter confirming the calculations and allow the TRA Representative reasonable access, at no cost to the TRA Representative, to the appropriate representatives at
      the Corporation and, if applicable, the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such schedules or workpapers. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall ensure than any schedule that is delivered to the TRA
      Representative identifies any material assumptions or operating procedures or principles that were used for purposes of preparing such schedule.

   

  (iv)         Provision of Information to TRA Holders. Upon the reasonable
      request of a TRA Holder, the TRA Representative shall provide to that TRA Holder, in a reasonably prompt manner, such information that the TRA Representative receives pursuant to this Agreement (including the schedules described in this Section 1.03),

      but only to the extent that the TRA Representative determines that such information is material, relevant, and relates to that TRA Holder.

   

  (b)           Objection to, and Finalization of, Schedules. Each Basis
      Schedule and Tax Benefit Schedule, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 1.03(c), shall become final and binding on all parties unless the TRA Representative, within 30 days after receiving a Basis Schedule or a Tax
      Benefit Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such schedule made in good faith (an “Objection Notice”). If the Corporation and the TRA Representative are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in
      the Objection Notice within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Representative shall employ the dispute resolution procedures as described in Section 6.08 of this Agreement (the “Dispute

        Resolution Procedures”).

   

  

  
    - 4 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (c)           Amendment of Schedules.  After finalization of a Basis
      Schedule or a Tax Benefit Schedule in accordance with Section 1.03(b), any Basis Schedule or Tax Benefit Schedule may be amended from time to time by the Corporation (i) to correct material inaccuracies in any such schedule, (ii) to reflect a
      material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to either a carryback or carryforward of a Tax Item to such Taxable Year or to an amended Tax Return filed with respect to such Taxable Year,
      (iii) to adjust the Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement, (iv) to reflect the cumulative use of Tax Assets through the end of such Taxable Year, (v) to comply with the Arbitrators’ determination under the
      Dispute Resolution Procedures, or (vi) in connection with a Determination affecting such schedule (such schedule, an “Amended Schedule”). Any Amended Schedule shall be subject to the finalization procedures set forth in Section 1.03(b)
      and the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in Section 6.08.

   

  ARTICLE II

      TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

   

  Section 2.01        Payments.

   

  (a)           General Rule. Each TRA Benefit Payor shall pay to each TRA
      Holder for each Taxable Year the applicable portion (determined in accordance with (b)Section 2.01(b)) of the Tax Benefit Payment that is attributable to that TRA Holder and is required to be paid by such TRA Benefit Payor. These payments
      shall be made at the times set forth in Section 2.01(d) and the amount of such payments shall be, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the limitation described in Section 2.05Error! Reference source not found.. For purposes of
      this ‎Section 2.01(a):

   

  (i)          the amount of a Tax Benefit Payment in each Taxable Year that is
      attributable to the Foundation shall equal the lesser of (A) the Foundation Depreciation Payment for such Taxable Year and (B) the aggregate Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year; and

   

  (ii)         the amount of a Tax Benefit Payment in each Taxable Year that is
      attributable to the LP TRA Holders shall equal an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year over (B) the Tax Benefit Payment attributable to the Foundation pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i) for
      such Taxable Year.

   

  (b)           TRA Benefit Payors. In each Taxable Year (i) the Company shall
      make each payment being made under (a)(i)Section 2.01(a)(i) and each payment that is being made to an LP TRA Holder before an Exchange and (ii) the Corporation shall make all other payments.

   

  (c)           Determination of Tax Assets. The Tax Assets shall be
      determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange, on an Interest-by-Interest basis by reference to the Exchange of an Interest.

   

  (d)           Timing of Tax Benefit Payments. Each TRA Benefit Payor shall
      make each Tax Benefit Payment that it is required to make not later than 10 days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to the TRA Representative becomes final in accordance with Section 1.03(b). Each TRA Benefit Payor may, but is not
      required to, make one or more estimated payments at other times during the Taxable Year and reduce future payments so that the total amount paid to a TRA Holder in respect of a Taxable Year equals the amount calculated with respect to such Taxable
      Year pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

   

  

  
    - 5 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (e)           Optional Cap on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of
      this Agreement to the contrary, any TRA Holder may elect with respect to any Exchange to limit the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments made to such TRA Holder in respect of that Exchange to a specified dollar amount, a specified percentage of the amount
      realized by the TRA Holder with respect to the Exchange, or a specified portion of the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Adjusted Assets as a result of the Exchange. The TRA Holder shall exercise its rights under the preceding sentence by
      including a notice of its desire to impose such a limit and the specified limitation and such other details as may be reasonably necessary (including whether such limitation includes the Additional Amounts in respect of any such Exchange) in the
      Exchange Notice delivered in accordance with the Policy.

   

  Section 2.02         No Duplicative Payments. The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to, and shall not be construed to, result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement.

   

  Section 2.03         Order of Payments. If for any reason (including, but not limited to, the lack of sufficient Available Cash to satisfy a TRA Benefit Payor’s obligations to make its Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year under this Agreement) the TRA Benefit Payors do not fully satisfy
        their obligations to make all payments due under this Agreement in a particular Taxable Year, then (a) any Tax Benefit Payments due to the Foundation under Section 2.01(a) shall be paid first and (b) if the Foundation has received all Tax
        Benefit Payments due to it under Section 2.01(a), then the LP TRA Holders shall receive any other payments due under this Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year pro rata in accordance with the amounts otherwise due to the LP TRA Holders
        for such Taxable Year. Except as provided in clause (a) of this Section 2.03, no payment under this Agreement shall be made in respect of any subsequent Taxable Year until all such payments under this Agreement in respect of the current and
        all prior Taxable Years have been made in full (including for the avoidance of doubt, any payment owed to a TRA Holder pursuant to Section 2.05); provided, that this sentence shall not be applied in a manner that reduces the payment
        that would (in the absence of this sentence) be made to the Foundation.

   

  Section 2.04         No Escrow or Clawback; Reduction of Future Payments. No amounts due to a TRA Holder under this Agreement shall be escrowed, and no TRA Holder shall be required to return any portion of any Tax Benefit
      Payment previously made to it. No TRA Holder shall be required to make a payment to the Corporation on account of any Realized Tax Detriment. If a TRA Holder receives amounts in excess of its entitlements under this Agreement (including as a result
      of an audit adjustment or Realized Tax Detriment), future payments under this Agreement shall be reduced until the amount received by the TRA Holder equals the amount the TRA Holder would have received had it not received the amount in excess of such
      entitlements.

   

  

  
    - 6 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  Section 2.05         Limits on Aggregate Tax Benefit Payment  

   

  (a)           Calculation of Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amount. If, but
      for the application of this Section 2.05, this Agreement would require the Corporation to make Tax Benefit Payments with respect to any Taxable Year that would cause the Total Tax and TRA Burden to exceed the Hypothetical Tax Liability for
      such Taxable Year, then the Tax Benefit Payments for that Taxable Year shall be reduced so that the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments for that Taxable Year do not result in any such excess (the amount of that reduction, if any, the “Tax Benefit
        Payment Reduction Amount”).

   

  (b)           Impact of Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amount. Any reduction
      to Tax Benefit Payments required by Section 2.05(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 2.03 (Order of Payments) such that Tax Benefit Payments otherwise due to the LP TRA Holders will be reduced to zero before any Tax Benefit
      Payments due to the Foundation are reduced. The Corporation shall pay the Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amount as a Tax Benefit Payment in subsequent years to the TRA Holders whose Tax Benefit Payments
        were reduced by reason of this Section 2.05, with the limitation contained in this Section 2.05 being applied to each such payment.

   

  ARTICLE III

      EARLY TERMINATIONS

   

  Section 3.01         Early Termination Events.

   

  (a)           Early Termination Election by Corporation. The Corporation may
      terminate all or a portion of the Benefit Rights at any time by (i) delivering an Early Termination Notice as provided in Section 3.02(a) and (ii) paying, or causing to be paid, the
      Early Termination Payment as provided in Section 3.03(a). If the Corporation terminates less than all of the Benefit Rights, such termination shall be made among the TRA Holders in such manner that it results in each TRA Holder receiving the
      same proportion of the Early Termination Payment made at that time as each TRA Holder would have received had the Corporation terminated all of Benefit Rights at that time.

   

  (b)           Deemed Early Termination.

   

  (i)           Deemed Early Termination Event. Upon a Material Uncured Breach of this Agreement with respect to a TRA Holder and as soon as reasonably practicable before a Change of Control (each, a “Deemed Early Termination Event”), (A) the Corporation (or the TRA Representative (with a copy to the Corporation)) shall deliver to each of the Affected TRA Holders an Early
        Termination Notice, and (B) all obligations under this Agreement with respect to each Affected TRA Holder shall be accelerated. 

   

  (ii)          Payment upon Deemed Early Termination Event. Upon a Deemed Early
      Termination Event, the amount payable to each Affected TRA Holder shall equal the sum of:

   

  (A) an Early Termination Payment calculated with respect to the Affected TRA Holder pursuant to this ARTICLE

        III as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of the Deemed Early Termination Event using the Valuation Assumptions but substituting the phrase “the date of the Deemed Early Termination Event” in each place where the
      phrase “Early Termination Date” appears;

   

  

  
    - 7 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (B) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and the Affected TRA Holder as due and payable
      but unpaid as of the date of the Deemed Early Termination Event; and

   

  (C) any Tax Benefit Payment due to the Affected TRA Holder for the Taxable Year ending with or
      including the date of a Deemed Early Termination Event (except to the extent that any amounts described in clauses (B) or (C) are included in the amount payable upon early termination).

   

  (iii)         Waiver of Deemed Early Termination. A TRA Holder may elect to
      waive the acceleration of obligations under this Agreement triggered by a Deemed Early Termination Event by submitting a waiver in writing to the Corporation within 30 days after the date of the Early Termination Notice. If a TRA Holder elects to
      waive the acceleration of obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to that TRA Holder as though no Deemed Early Termination Event had occurred, and, if there are any due and unpaid amounts
      with respect to that TRA Holder, the applicable TRA Benefit Payor shall pay those amounts to the TRA Holder in the manner provided in this Agreement.

   

  Section 3.02         Early Termination Notice and Early Termination Schedule.

   

  (a)           Notice; Schedule.

   

  (i)           Delivery of Early Termination Notice and Early Termination Schedule.
      If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 3.01(a) above, or if there is a Deemed Early Termination Event under Section 3.01(b) above, the Corporation shall deliver to each TRA Holder whose
      rights are being terminated (A) a notice (an “Early Termination Notice”) specifying (x) such early termination and (y) the date on which the termination of rights is to be effective (the “Early Termination Date”), which date shall be
      not less than 30 days and not more than 120 days after the date of the Early Termination Notice, and (B) a schedule showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment with respect to each TRA Holder whose rights are being
      terminated (the “Early Termination Schedule”). The Early Termination Notice shall be delivered within 30 days after the Corporation elects to terminate this Agreement or there is a Deemed Early Termination Event.

   

  

  
    - 8 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)          Finalization of Early Termination Schedule; Disputes. An Early
      Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on the Corporation, the Company, and such TRA Holder unless the TRA Representative, within 30 days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material
      objection to such schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”). If the Corporation and the TRA Representative are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Material Objection Notice within 30 days after receipt by
      the Corporation of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Representative shall employ the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in Section 6.08.

   

  (iii)         Withdrawal of Early Termination Notice. The Corporation may
      withdraw an Early Termination Notice before the Early Termination Payment is due and payable to any applicable TRA Holder(s).

   

  (b)           Amendment of Early Termination Schedule. After finalization of
      an Early Termination Schedule in accordance with Section 3.02(a)(ii), any Early Termination Schedule may be amended by the Corporation before the Early Termination Payment is made (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such
      schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in any such schedule, or (iii) to comply with the Arbitrators’ determinations under Section 6.08. Any amendment shall be subject to the procedures of Section 3.02(a)(ii) and the Dispute
      Resolution Procedures set forth in Section 6.08.

   

  Section 3.03         Early Termination Payment.

   

  (a)           Amount and Timing of Early Termination Payment. The payment
      due to a TRA Holder in connection with an early termination described in Section 3.01 (the “Early Termination Payment”) shall be an amount equal to the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Date,
      of all Tax Benefit Payments that the TRA Benefit Payors would be required to pay to the TRA Holder beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied. Not later than 10 days after an Early Termination
      Schedule delivered to a TRA Holder becomes final in accordance with Section 3.02(a)(ii), the TRA Benefit Payors shall pay to the TRA Holder the Early Termination Payment due to that TRA Holder.

   

  (b)           Effect of Early Termination Payment.  Upon payment of the
      Early Termination Payment by the TRA Benefit Payors under this Section 3.03, neither the TRA Holder nor the TRA Benefit Payors shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement in respect of the payments that otherwise would
      be due pursuant to this Agreement or with respect to the Benefit Rights that have been terminated in accordance with Section 3.01, other than for any (i) payment under this Agreement that is due and payable but has not been paid as of the
      Early Termination Date and (ii) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Date (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (ii) is included in the Early Termination Payment).
      For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after a TRA Benefit Payor has made an Early Termination Payment with respect to all Benefit Rights, such TRA Benefit Payor shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange
      other than any obligations described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

  Section 3.04         Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

   

  (a)           Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group. If the
      Corporation is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax Return pursuant to sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state, local or non-U.S. law (a “Consolidated

        Group”), then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the Consolidated Group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items in this Agreement shall be computed
      with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the Consolidated Group as a whole. Nothing in this Section 3.04(a) shall be interpreted to alter the circumstances that give rise to an early termination as described in Section 3.01.

   

  (b)           Transfers of Assets by Corporation.

   

  (i)           General Rule. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the
      Corporation transfers one or more assets to a corporation with which the transferor does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to section 1501 et seq. of the Code, then, for purposes of calculating the amount of any payment due under this
      Agreement, the transferor shall be treated as having disposed of such asset(s) in a fully taxable transaction on the date of the transfer.

   

  (ii)          Rules of Application. For purposes of this Section 3.04(b):

   

  (A)         Except as provided in Section 3.04(b)(ii)(B), the consideration deemed to be received by the transferor in the transaction shall be deemed to equal the fair market value of the transferred asset(s) (taking into account
      the principles of section 7701(g) of the Code);

   

  (B)          The consideration deemed to be received by the transferor in exchange for a partnership interest shall be deemed to equal the fair market value of the partnership interest increased by any liabilities (as defined in
      Treasury Regulation § 1.752-1(a)(4)) of the partnership allocated to the transferor with regard to such transferred interest under section 752 of the Code immediately after the transfer; and

   

  (C)          A transfer to a “corporation” (other than the Corporation) includes a transfer to any entity or arrangement classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and “partnership” includes any entity or
      arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

      SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

   

  Section 4.01         Subordination; Priority. Any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required to be paid by a TRA Benefit Payor 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 current or future obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of such TRA Benefit Payor and its Subsidiaries and shall, except as otherwise provided in this
      Agreement, rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of such TRA Benefit Payor that are not principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any current or future obligations in respect of indebtedness
      for borrowed money of such TRA Benefit Payor and its Subsidiaries and shall be senior to equity interests in the TRA Benefit Payor.

   

  Section 4.02         Late Payments by a TRA Benefit Payor. The amount of all or any portion of any amount due under the terms of this Agreement that is not paid to any TRA Holder when due shall be payable, together with any
      interest thereon computed at the Default Rate commencing from the date on which such payment was due and payable. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Default Rate shall not apply (and the Agreed Rate shall apply) to any late payment that is
      late solely as a result of (a) a prohibition, restriction or covenant under any credit agreement, loan agreement, note, indenture or other agreement governing indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Corporation or (b)
      restrictions under applicable law.

   

  Section 4.03         Manner of Payment. All payments required to be made to a TRA Holder pursuant to this Agreement will be made by electronic payment of immediately available
        funds to a bank account previously designated and owned by such TRA Holder or, if no such account has been designated, by check payable to such TRA Holder.

      purposes, all tax-related items (including without limitation the Basis Adjustment and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporation in any schedule provided by or on behalf of the Corporation under this
      Agreement unless any of the TRA Benefit Payors or a TRA Holder receives a written opinion from an Advisory Firm that reporting in such manner should result in an imposition of penalties pursuant to the Code. Any Dispute concerning such written
      opinion shall be subject to the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in Section 6.08.

   

  Section 5.03         Cooperation. Each TRA Holder shall (a) furnish to the TRA Benefit Payors in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials, not to include such TRA Holder’s personal Tax Returns, as any of

      documented third-party costs and expenses incurred by the TRA Holder in complying with this Section 5.03.

   

  Section 5.04         Section 754 Election. The Corporation shall (a) ensure that, for the Taxable Year of the Company that includes the date of this Agreement and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company
      and each of its Subsidiaries that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall have in effect an election pursuant to section 754 of the Code (and any similar provisions of applicable U.S. state or local law) and (b) use
      commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, on and after the date of this Agreement and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, any entity in which the Company holds a direct or indirect interest that is classified as a partnership for
      U.S. federal income tax purposes that is not a “Subsidiary” as defined in this Agreement will have in effect an election pursuant to section 754 of the Code (and any similar provisions of applicable U.S. state or local law).

   

  Section 5.05         Available Cash. The TRA Benefit Payors shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that they have sufficient Available Cash to make all payments due under this Agreement, including using reasonable best
      efforts to determine that there is Available Cash and, in the case of the Corporation, to cause the Company to make distributions to the Corporation to make any payments required to be made by the Corporation so long as such distributions do not
      violate (a) a prohibition, restriction or covenant under any credit agreement, loan agreement, note, indenture or other agreement governing indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Corporation or (b) restrictions under applicable
      law.

   

  Section 5.06         TRA Representative.

   

  (a)           Power of the TRA Representative; Reliance by Corporation. A
      decision, act, consent, or instruction of the TRA Representative shall constitute a decision of all TRA Holders and shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon each TRA Holder. The Corporation may rely upon any decision, act, consent, or instruction
      of the TRA Representative as being the decision, act, consent, or instruction of each TRA Holder.

   

  

  
    - 12 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)           Scope of Liability. The TRA Representative shall not be liable
      to any TRA Party for any act of the TRA Representative arising out of, or in connection with, the reasonable and good faith administration of its rights and duties under this Agreement.

   

  (c)           Expenses and Indemnification of the TRA Representative. To the
      fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall pay, or to the extent the TRA Representative pays, indemnify and reimburse, the TRA Representative for all liability and loss and all reasonable and contemporaneously documented costs and
      expenses, including legal and accounting fees, in connection with the TRA Representative’s reasonable and good faith exercise of its rights and duties under this Agreement.

   

  (d)           Successor TRA Representative. If at any time the TRA
      Representative is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, the person or entity then-serving as the TRA Representative shall be entitled to appoint its successor. If the TRA Representative fails to appoint a successor that will serve as of the
      effective date of the termination of the then-serving TRA Representative’s tenure, the Corporation shall be entitled to appoint the successor. In either case, such successor shall be subject to the approval of the TRA Holders who would be entitled to
      receive at least fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of the Early Termination Payments that would be payable to all TRA Holders if the Corporation had exercised its right of early termination under ‎Section 3.01(a) on the date of the most
      recent Exchange as of the effective date of the resignation of the then-serving TRA Representative. If such successor does not receive the requisite approval, the Corporation and the TRA Holders shall attempt to resolve the matter in good faith. If
      no such resolution has occurred by the earlier of (i) 90 days following the termination of tenure and (ii) five (5) days before a TRA Representative will be required to take an action or make a decision under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be
      entitled to appoint the successor, who shall serve as the TRA Representative.

  Section 6.02         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been
      signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts by manual, electronic or facsimile signature, each
      of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission or facsimile transmission shall be as effective as
      delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

   

  Section 6.03         Entire Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the other writings referred to in this Agreement or delivered pursuant to this Agreement
      which form a part of this Agreement contain the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior oral and written agreements and memoranda and undertakings among the parties to
      this Agreement with regard to such subject matter. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any person that is not a party to this Agreement nor create or establish any third party
      beneficiary hereto.

   

  Section 6.04         Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the state of Delaware (and, to the extent applicable, federal law), without regard to the conflicts of laws
      principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

   

  Section 6.05         Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or circumstance or in any jurisdiction, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (a)
      the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, (b) as to such Person or circumstance or in such jurisdiction such
      provision shall be reformed to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and (c) the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances or in other jurisdictions shall not be affected thereby. In addition, if any
      court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable as written, each Person party hereto shall take all necessary action to cause this Agreement to be amended so as to provide, to the maximum
      extent reasonably possible, that the purposes of the Agreement can be realized, and to modify this Agreement to the minimum extent reasonably possible.

   

  Section 6.06         Assignment; Amendments; Waiver of Compliance; Successors and Assigns.

   

  (a)           Assignment.

   

  (i)           In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement
      (including, without limitation, the remainder of this Section 6.06(a)(i)), no TRA Holder may, directly or indirectly, assign or otherwise transfer its rights under this Agreement to any person without the express prior written consent of the
      Corporation, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, that, the Corporation may withhold, condition, or delay its consent in its sole discretion to any transfer by a TRA Holder (i) if
      the TRA Holder seeks to transfer a portion of its rights, in the aggregate, to more than three transferees, or (ii) if the TRA Holder seeks to transfer less than all of its rights.

   

  

  
    - 15 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)          Original Signatories. Each TRA Holder that is an original
      signatory to this Agreement may, directly or indirectly, assign or otherwise transfer its rights under this Agreement without limitation (A) to the Foundation, any Affiliate of the Foundation, or any Affiliate of such transferring TRA Holder or (B)
      by bequest.

   

  (iii)         Transfer of Interests. To the extent Interests are transferred
      in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the transferring TRA Holder may assign to the transferee all, but not less than all, of that TRA Holder’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Interests.

   

  (iv)         Joinder. If any TRA Holder directly or indirectly assigns or
      otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement to any person, the transferring TRA Holder shall require the transferee to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to become a “TRA Holder” for all purposes of this Agreement
      (except as otherwise provided in such joinder), with such joinder being, in form and substance, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.

   

  (b)           Amendments.

   

  (i)           General Rule. No provision of this Agreement may be amended
      unless the amendment is approved in writing by the Corporation, the Company, and the TRA Holders who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the Early Termination Payments payable to all TRA Holders (as determined by the Corporation) if
      the Corporation had exercised its right of early termination under Section 3.01(a) on the date of the most recent Exchange before that amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Holder pursuant to this
      Agreement since the date of the most recent Exchange).

   

  (ii)          Amendments with Disproportionate Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding
      the provisions of Section 6.06(b)(i), if a proposed amendment would have a disproportionate adverse effect on the payments one or more TRA Holders will or may receive under this Agreement, the amendment shall not be effective unless at least
      two-thirds of the TRA Holders who would be disproportionately adversely affected (measured in accordance with Section 6.06(b)(i)) consent in writing to that amendment.

   

  (c)           Waiver of Compliance. Except as otherwise provided in this
      Agreement, any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting the waiver, but
      no waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

   

  

  
    - 16 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (d)           Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein,
      all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. The Corporation shall require and cause any
      direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, division, conversion or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
      Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

   

  Section 6.07         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 6.08         Dispute Resolution.

   

  (a)           Disputes as to Interpretation and Calculations. The
      Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, resolve any Dispute as to the interpretation of, or calculations required by, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, any resolution by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 6.08(a)
      shall reflect a reasonable interpretation of the provisions of this Agreement, consistent with the goal that the provisions of this Agreement result in the TRA Holders receiving eighty-five percent (85%) of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit and
      the Additional Amount thereon.

   

  (b)           Dispute Resolution; Arbitration. Except for the matters in
      Section 6.08(a), the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination or validity thereof (“Dispute”).
      To the extent any Dispute is not resolved through good faith negotiations, Disputes shall be finally resolved by arbitration before a panel of three independent tax lawyers at major law firms who are resident in New York, New York and are mutually
      acceptable to the parties (the “Arbitrators”). The Arbitrators, with the consent of the parties, may, or, at the direction of the parties, shall, delegate some or all of the issues under dispute (including Disputes under Section 1.03,
      Section 3.02 or Section 5.02) to a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Arbitrators and agreed to by the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the TRA Representative shall represent the
      interests of any TRA Holder(s) in any Dispute and no TRA Holder shall individually have the right to participate in any proceeding.

   

  

  
    - 17 - 

    
      
 

  

   

  (c)           Selection of Arbitrators; Timing. There shall be three
      Arbitrators who shall be appointed by the parties within 20 days of receipt by a party of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The Corporation shall appoint one arbitrator and the TRA Representative shall appoint one arbitrator (with the appointment
      being subject, in each case, to the reasonable objection of the other party), and the parties shall jointly appoint the third arbitrator. Unless the parties have agreed to extend the 20-day time period, any Arbitrators that have not been appointed
      within 20 days of a party’s receipt of a copy of the demand for arbitration shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, with each party being
      given a limited number of strikes, except for cause. Any arbitrator appointed by JAMS shall be a retired judge or a practicing attorney with no less than fifteen years of experience with corporate and partnership tax matters and an experienced
      arbitrator. In rendering an award, the Arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the state of Delaware, notwithstanding any Delaware choice-of-law rules. The costs of arbitration shall be split equally between the parties participating in
      the arbitration.

   

  (d)           Arbitration Award; Damages; Attorney Fees. The arbitral award
      shall be in writing and shall state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based. The Arbitrators shall not be permitted to award punitive, non-economic, or any non-compensatory damages. The award shall be final and binding upon
      the parties and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the Arbitrators. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over any party
      or any of its assets. Any costs or fees (including all attorneys’ fees and expenses) incident to enforcing the award shall be charged against the party resisting the enforcement. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees incurred in the
      underlying arbitration.

   

  (e)           Confidentiality. All Disputes shall be resolved in a
      confidential manner. The Arbitrators shall agree to hold any information received during the arbitration in the strictest of confidence and shall not disclose to any non-party the existence, contents or results of the arbitration or any other
      information about the arbitration. The parties to the arbitration shall not disclose any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other party in the arbitration proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of
      the proceeding except as may be required by law, regulatory or governmental authority or as may be necessary in an action in aid of arbitration or for enforcement of an arbitral award. Any party intending to make a disclosure permitted by the
      preceding sentence (other than private disclosure to financial regulatory authorities), shall use reasonable efforts to give the other party reasonable advance written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other party a reasonable
      opportunity to protect its interests.

   

  (f)            Discovery. Barring extraordinary circumstances (as determined
      in the sole discretion of the Arbitrators), discovery shall be limited to pre-hearing disclosure of documents that each side shall present in support of its case, and non-privileged documents essential to a matter of import in the proceeding for
      which a party has demonstrated a substantial need. The parties agree that they shall produce to each other all such requested non-privileged documents, except documents objected to and with respect to which a ruling has been or shall be sought from
      the Arbitrators. The parties agree that information from the Corporate Tax Return (including by way of a redacted Corporate Tax Return) shall be sufficient, and that the Corporation shall not be compelled to produce any unredacted Tax Returns. There
      will be no depositions or live witness testimony.

  Section 6.09         Bank Account Information. A TRA Benefit Payor may require each TRA Holder to provide its bank account information to facilitate wire transfers and shall be entitled to rely on the bank account information
      so provided absent actual knowledge that the bank account information is incorrect.

   

  Section 6.10         Withholding. Each TRA Benefit Payor shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable by it pursuant to this Agreement such amounts, if any, as the TRA Benefit Payor is required to deduct
      and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and are (or, when due, will be) paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by
      the applicable TRA Benefit Payor, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable TRA Holder. Each TRA Holder shall promptly provide the TRA Benefit Payors or other applicable
      withholding agent with any necessary tax forms, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the TRA Benefit Payors, as any TRA Benefit Payor may request from time to time in determining whether any such deductions and withholdings are required
      under any applicable law, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as applicable. Before any withholding is made pursuant to this Section 6.10, the TRA Benefit Payor shall use
      commercially reasonable efforts to (a) notify the applicable TRA Holder and (b) cooperate in good faith with such TRA Holder to avoid such withholding, unless the TRA Holder has failed to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence.

   

  Section 6.11         Confidentiality.

   

  (a)           General Rule. Each TRA Holder and each of their assignees
      acknowledges and agrees that the information of the TRA Benefit Payors is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporation and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms
      of this Agreement, shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters or information of the Corporation or the Company, or the Affiliates or successors of the Corporation and the Company, or the
      other TRA Holders acquired pursuant to this Agreement, including marketing, investment, performance data, credit and financial information and other business affairs of the Corporation or the Company, or the Affiliates or successors of the

  (d)           the federal income tax rates and state and local income tax rates
      that will be in effect for each such Taxable Year will be those specified for each such Taxable Year by the Code and other law as in effect on the Early Termination Date, taking into account any scheduled or imminent tax rate increases. For the
      avoidance of doubt, an “imminent” tax rate increase is one for which both the amount and the effective time can be determined with reasonable accuracy.
