Exhibit 10.1

 

J&J Snack Foods Corp.

Form of Performance Share Unit Agreement

 

This Performance Share Unit Agreement (this "Grant Agreement") is made and entered into as of [DATE] (the "Grant Date") by and between J&J Snack Foods Corp., New Jersey corporation (the "Company") and [EXECUTIVE NAME] (the "Grantee").

 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the J&J Snack Foods Corp. Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which certain types of Performance Awards may be granted; and

 

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant Performance Awards consisting as performance share units (“PSUs” or “Performance Share Units”) provided for herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.    Grant of Performance Share Units. Pursuant to Section 8 of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee an Award for a target number of [TARGET NUMBER] Performance Share Units (the "Target Award"). Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Agreement and the Plan. The number of PSUs that the Grantee actually earns for the Performance Cycle (up to a maximum of [MAXIMUM NUMBER]) will be determined by the level of achievement of the Performance Goal in accordance with Exhibit I attached hereto. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

 

2.    Performance Cycle. For purposes of this Grant Agreement, the term "Performance Cycle" shall be the period commencing on September 26, 2021 and ending on September 25, 2024.

 

3.    Performance Goal.

 

3.1    The number of PSUs earned by the Grantee for the Performance Cycle will be determined at the end of the Performance Cycle based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goal in accordance with Exhibit I. All determinations of whether the Performance Goal has been achieved, the number of PSUs earned by the Grantee, and all other matters related to this Section 3 shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.

 

3.2    Promptly following completion of the Performance Cycle (and no later than sixty (60) days) following the end of the Performance Cycle), the Committee will review and certify in writing (a) whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goal for the Performance Cycle has been achieved, and (b) the number of PSUs that the Grantee shall earn, if any, subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 4. Such certification shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Grantee, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

4.    Vesting of PSUs. The PSUs are subject to forfeiture until they vest. Except as otherwise provided herein, the PSUs will vest and become nonforfeitable on September 25, 2024, subject to (a) the achievement of the minimum threshold Performance Goal for payout set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto, and (b) the Grantee's continued employment from the Grant Date through the date that the PSUs are paid in shares of Common Stock. The number of PSUs that vest and become payable under this Grant Agreement shall be determined by the Committee based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goal set forth in Exhibit I and shall be rounded to the nearest whole PSU.

 

5.    Termination of Employment.

 

5.1    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Grant Agreement, if the Grantee's employment terminates for any reason at any time before all of his or her PSUs have vested, the Grantee's unvested PSUs shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment and neither the Company nor any affiliate shall have any further obligations to the Grantee under this Grant Agreement.

 

 

 

 

 

5.2    Notwithstanding Section 5.1, if the Grantee's employment terminates during the Performance Cycle as a result of the Grantee's death or Disability, the Grantee will vest on such date in a pro rata portion of the Target Award calculated by multiplying the Target Award by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days that the Grantee was employed during the Performance Cycle and the denominator of which equals the total number of days in the Performance Cycle.

 

6.    Payment of PSUs. Payment in respect of the PSUs earned for the Performance Cycle shall be made in shares of Common Stock and shall be issued to the Grantee as soon as practicable following the vesting date and in any event within sixty (60) days following the vesting date. The Company shall (a) issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested PSUs, and (b) enter the Grantee's name on the books of the Company as the shareholder of record with respect to the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Grantee.

 

7.    Transferability. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Grant Agreement or the Plan, the PSUs or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and upon any such transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution, the transferee shall hold such PSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions that were applicable to the Grantee immediately prior to such transfer.

 

8.    Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents.

 

8.1    Except as otherwise provided herein, the Grantee shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs, including, but not limited to, voting rights and the right to receive or accrue dividends or dividend equivalents.

 

8.2    To the extent that the Company pays an ordinary cash dividend on its shares of Common Stock, the value of such dividends shall accrue over the Performance Cycle and shall be paid out in cash if and when such PSUs vest and become payable. The amount of such accrual shall be equal to the per share cash dividend paid by the Company on its shares of Common Stock multiplied by the number of target PSUs held by the Participant as of the related dividend payment record date.

 

8.3    Upon and following the vesting of the PSUs and the issuance of shares, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company (including voting and dividend rights).

 

9.    No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor this Grant Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Grant Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Grantee's employment at any time, with or without cause.

 

10.    Adjustments. If any change is made to the outstanding Common Stock or the capital structure of the Company, if required, the PSUs shall be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated by Section 17 of the Plan.

 

2

 

 

11.    Tax Liability and Withholding.

 

11.1    The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the PSUs and to take all such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Committee may permit the Grantee to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of such means:

 

(a)    tendering a cash payment;

 

(b)    authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Grantee as a result of the vesting of the PSUs; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock shall be withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or

 

(c)    delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.

 

11.2    Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee's responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares, and (b) does not commit to structure the PSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee's liability for Tax-Related Items.

 

12.    Non-competition and Non-solicitation.

 

12.1    In consideration of the PSUs, the Grantee agrees and covenants not to:

 

(a)    contribute his or her knowledge, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an employee, officer, owner, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, partner, director, shareholder, volunteer, intern or in any other similar capacity to an entity engaged in the same or similar business as the Company and its affiliates, including but not limited to those engaged in the business of the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of soft pretzels, churros, funnel cakes, frozen cookie dough, in-store bakery products, biscuits and/ or dumplings, frozen carbonated beverages or similar products (including both existing products as well as products known to the recipient, as a consequence of the recipient’s employment with the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries, to be in development) for a period of [TERM OF MONTHS OR YEARS] following the Grantee's termination of employment;

 

(b)    directly or indirectly, solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the termination of employment of any employee of the Company or its affiliates for [TERM OF MONTHS OR YEARS] following the Grantee's termination of employment; or

 

(c)    directly or indirectly, solicit, contact (including, but not limited to, email, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, and instant message), attempt to contact or meet with the current, former or prospective customers of the Company or any of its affiliates for purposes of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Company or any of its affiliates for a period of [TERM OF MONTHS OR YEARS] following the Grantee's termination of employment.

 

12.2    If the Grantee breaches any of the covenants set forth in Section 12.1:

 

(a)    all unvested PSUs shall be immediately forfeited; and

 

3

 

 

(b)    the Grantee hereby consents and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available forms of relief.

 

13.    Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock in connection with the PSUs shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares of Common Stock may be listed. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel.

 

14.    Notices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Company under this Grant Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Secretary of the Company at the Company's principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Grantee under this Grant Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee's address as shown in the records of the Company. Either party may designate another address in writing (or by such other method approved by the Company) from time to time.

 

15.    Governing Law. This Grant Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to conflict of law principles.

 

16.    Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Grant Agreement shall be submitted by the Grantee or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Grantee and the Company.

 

17.    PSUs Subject to Plan. This Grant Agreement is subject to the Plan as approved by the Company's shareholders. The terms and provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.

 

18.    Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Grant Agreement. This Grant Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Grant Agreement will be binding upon the Grantee and the Grantee's beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom the PSUs may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

 

19.    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Grant Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Grant Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Grant Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

 

20.    Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the PSUs in this Grant Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any PSUs or other Awards in the future. Future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee's employment with the Company.

 

4

 

 

21.    Amendment. The Committee has the right to amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or cancel the PSUs, prospectively or retroactively; provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the Grantee's material rights under this Grant Agreement without the Grantee's consent.

 

22.    Section 409A. This Grant Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Grant Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Grantee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

 

23.    No Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the Grantee's PSUs is not part of his or her normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee benefit.

 

24.    Counterparts. This Grant Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages to this Grant Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing an original signature.

 

25.    Acceptance. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Grant Agreement. The Grantee has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts the PSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Grant Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the vesting or settlement of the PSUs or disposition of the underlying shares and that the Grantee has been advised to consult a tax advisor prior to such vesting, settlement or disposition.

 TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT 

This TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [•], 2021, is entered into by and among Chobani, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (Chobani, Inc., together with each of its Subsidiaries that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and each successor thereto, the “Corporation”), Chobani Global Holdings, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Company”), each of the TRA Holders, and the TRA Representative. 

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the
units of membership interest in the Company (“Units”) are held in part by the Unblocked TRA Holders; 
 WHEREAS, the
Blocked TRA Holder holds, and will continue to hold until the Reorganization, the Blocker and the Blocker holds the Units that are not held by the Unblocked TRA Holders; 

WHEREAS, the Corporation is the managing member 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 S-1 publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on [•], 2021 (Registration No. [•]), as amended before the date of this Agreement, including the IPO;

 WHEREAS, pursuant to the transactions set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, the Corporation will become the owner of the Units held
by the Blocker (the “Reorganization”); 
 WHEREAS, the Unblocked TRA Holders are expected to sell a portion of their Units
to the Corporation for cash (the “Initial Sales”) in connection with the IPO; 
 WHEREAS, the Units held by the Unblocked
TRA Holders are exchangeable with the Company or the Corporation in certain circumstances for Class A Shares and/or cash pursuant to the exchange provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company
(the “LLC Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, each of the Company and any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries classified as
partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes shall have in effect an election under section 754 of the Code for each Taxable Year that includes the effective date of the Reorganization and the IPO Date and each Taxable Year in which an
Exchange occurs, which election is intended to result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets owned by the Company and such Subsidiaries, solely with respect to the Corporation; 

WHEREAS, the liability of the Corporation in respect of Taxes may be reduced by the Tax Assets; 

 

 WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement desire to make certain arrangements with respect to
the benefits attributable to the effect of the Tax Assets on the liability for Taxes of the Corporation; 
 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 tax liability of the Corporation as reflected on the relevant Corporate Tax Return, using such reasonable methods as the Corporation determines;
provided that the Corporation shall use the following assumptions, conventions, and principles in making the determination: 

(a) Treatment of Tax Benefit Payments. Tax Benefit Payments shall be treated in part as Imputed Interest and in part as
additional purchase price for (i) interests in the Blocker in the case of the Reorganization, (except as otherwise required by the Code) or (ii) Units in the case of an Exchange. Tax Benefit Payments (other than amounts accounted for as
Imputed Interest) arising as a result of an Exchange shall (x) be treated as upward purchase price adjustments that give rise to further Basis Adjustments to Adjusted Assets for the Corporation and (y) have the effect of creating
additional Basis Adjustments to Adjusted Assets for the Corporation in the year of payment, and, as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments 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 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 Units acquired in connection with an Exchange
or the Reorganization. 

  
 - 2 - 

 (c) Carryovers and Carrybacks. Carryovers or carrybacks of any
income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit 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. 
 (d) State and Local Taxes. For purposes of calculating the Actual Tax Liability with
respect to a Taxable Year, the Corporation may, but shall not be required to, assume that that the Corporation’s state and local Tax liability (the “Assumed SALT Liability”) equals (x) the product of (i) the taxable
income and gain determined for the Taxable Year in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) five percent (5%) or (y) if the Corporation determines in its sole discretion (but, in any case, not more frequently than annually) that the
percentage described in clause (x) materially differs from the actual state and local liability, then, in consultation with the TRA Representative, the Corporation will use such other percentage as the Corporation reasonably determines from
time to time reflects its blended state and local tax rate (using the apportionment factors set forth on the relevant Corporate Tax Returns for that Taxable Year unless otherwise determined by the Corporation after consultation with the TRA
Representative). Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (y) of the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall not use a rate that is materially lower than the rate initially used to calculate the Assumed SALT Liability without the consent of
the Blocked TRA Holder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. 
 (e) Treatment of State
and Local and Non-United States Taxes. The provisions of this Agreement, including the assumption, 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. 

Section 1.03 Procedures Relating to Calculation of Tax Benefits. 

(a) Preparation and Delivery of Schedules. 

(i) Exchange Basis Schedule and IPO Date Asset Schedule. 

(A) IPO Date Asset Schedule. The IPO Date Asset Schedule is attached as Annex A with respect to the Blocker. The
calculations required by this Agreement, shall be made in accordance with the IPO Date Asset Schedule. If any calculation is required to be made before the finalized IPO Date Asset Schedule is agreed upon in accordance with this
Section 1.03(a)(i)(A) and Section 1.03(b), reasonable estimates shall be used. Within 75 days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for the Taxable Year in which
the Reorganization and the IPO occurred, the Corporation shall deliver a draft IPO Date Asset Schedule to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holder. Within 120 days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation
for the Taxable Year in which the Reorganization and the IPO 

  
 - 3 - 

 
occurred, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holder the finalized IPO Date Asset Schedule, as determined in accordance with
Section 1.03(b) (the “Finalized IPO Date Asset Schedule”). The IPO Date Asset Schedule shall show, in reasonable detail, (v) summary of Tax Assets resulting from the Reorganization, (w) the actual
common tax basis of the Adjusted Assets as of the IPO Date, (x) the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Adjusted Assets as a result of the Reorganization, (y) the period or periods, if any, over which the common tax basis of the Adjusted
Assets are amortized and/or depreciable, and (z) the period or periods, if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable. 

(B) Exchange Basis Schedule. Within 120 days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation
for each Taxable Year in which any Exchange has occurred, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Representative and Blocked TRA Holder a schedule (the “Exchange Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail, (w) the
actual common tax 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 tax basis of the Adjusted Assets are 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 Exchange Basis Schedule. If any calculation is required to
be made before the Exchange Basis Schedule is agreed upon, reasonable estimates shall be used. 
 (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 and the Blocked TRA Holder
either (A) (x) a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”), and (y) an Amended IPO Date Asset Schedule
and/or Exchange Basis Schedule, as applicable, reflecting the cumulative use of Tax Benefit Items through the end of such Taxable Year, or, (B) if there is no Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for that Taxable Year, notice to that
effect. 
 (iii) Supporting Material; Review Right. Each time the Corporation delivers to the TRA Representative or
the Blocked TRA Holder an IPO Date Asset Schedule, Exchange Basis Schedule, Early Termination Schedule or a Tax Benefit Schedule (or at such other times as the TRA Representative or the Blocked TRA Holder may reasonably request), the Corporation
shall also deliver to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holder 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 and the Blocked TRA Holder reasonable access, at no cost to the TRA

Representative or the Blocked TRA Holder, 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 that any schedule that is delivered to the TRA Representative and Blocked TRA Holder 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 IPO Date Asset Schedule, Exchange Basis Schedule, or 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 or the Blocked TRA Holder, within 30 days after receiving
an IPO Date Asset Schedule, an Exchange 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 and/or the Blocked TRA Holder, as applicable, 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 and/or the Blocked TRA Holder, as applicable, shall employ the dispute resolution procedures as described in Section 6.09 (the “Dispute Resolution Procedures”). 

(c) Amendment of Schedules. After finalization of an IPO Date Asset Schedule, Exchange Basis Schedule, or a Tax Benefit
Schedule in accordance with Section 1.03(b), any IPO Date Asset Schedule, Exchange Basis Schedule, or Tax Benefit Schedule shall be amended from time to time by the Corporation (i) in accordance with
Section 1.03(a)(ii), (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in any such schedule, (iii) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year, including any such change
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, (iv) to adjust the Exchange Basis Schedule to take into account material payments made
pursuant to this Agreement, (v) to reflect the cumulative use of Tax Benefit Items through the end of such Taxable Year, (vi) to comply with the Arbitrators’ determinations under the Dispute Resolution Procedures, or (vii) in
connection with a material Determination affecting such schedule (any schedule amended in accordance with this Section 1.03(c), an “Amended Schedule” or, as applicable, an “Amended IPO Date Asset
Schedule”, “Amended Exchange Basis Schedule”, or “Amended Tax Benefit Schedule”). Any Amended Schedule shall (x) be subject to the finalization procedures set forth in
Section 1.03(b) and the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in Section 6.09, and (y) delivered to the TRA Representative and Blocked TRA Holder.

 ARTICLE II 

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS, THE CONSOLIDATED GROUP, AND TRANSFERS OF 

CORPORATE ASSETS 

Section 2.01 Payments. 

(a) General Rule. The Corporation shall pay to each TRA Holder for each Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment that is
attributable to that TRA Holder at the times set forth in Section 2.01(c). For purposes of this Section 2.01(a), the amount of a Tax Benefit Payment that is attributable to a TRA Holder shall be
determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate Tax Benefit Payment for the Taxable Year that arose directly or indirectly as a result of any Exchange by any Unblocked TRA Holder, any payments under this Agreement to any TRA Holder, or the
Reorganization by (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of all Tax Benefit Items available for use in the Taxable Year that arose directly or indirectly as a result of an Exchange by the Unblocked TRA Holder, a
payment to such TRA Holder under this Agreement, or the Reorganization and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all Tax Benefit Items available for use in the Taxable Year that arose directly or indirectly as a result of any
Exchange by any Unblocked TRA Holder, any payments under this Agreement to any TRA Holder, or the Reorganization. 
 (b)
Determination of Tax Assets. The Tax Assets shall be determined separately with respect to (i) each separate Exchange, on a Unit-by-Unit basis by reference
to the Exchange of a Unit and the resulting Tax Assets with respect to the Corporation and (ii) the Blocker (or, after the Reorganization, the Corporation). 

(c) Timing of Tax Benefit Payments. The Corporation shall make each Tax Benefit Payment not later than 10 days after a
Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holder becomes final in accordance with Section 1.03(b). The Corporation 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).

 (d) Optional Cap on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Unblocked 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 Elective Exchange Notice delivered in accordance
with Section 12.01(b) of the LLC Agreement. 

  
 - 6 - 

 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 the Corporation’s obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year under this Agreement) the Corporation does not fully satisfy its obligations to make all payments due under this Agreement
in a particular Taxable Year, then (i) the TRA Holders shall receive payments under this Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year in the same proportion as they would have received if the Corporation had been able to fully satisfy its payment
obligations, without favoring one TRA Holder over the other TRA Holders, and (ii) 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. 
 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. 

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 rights under
this Agreement with respect to the Blocked TRA Holder and/or all or a portion of the Units held (including those previously Exchanged) by all TRA Holders at any time by (A) delivering an Early Termination Notice as provided in
Section 3.02(a) and (B) paying the Early Termination Payment as provided in Section 3.03(a). If the Corporation terminates less than all of the rights under this Agreement with respect to the
TRA Holders, 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 the rights of the TRA Holders under this Agreement at that time. 

  
 - 7 - 

 (b) Deemed Early Termination. 

(i) Deemed Early Termination Event. Upon a Material Uncured Breach of this Agreement with respect to a TRA Holder (an
“Affected TRA Holder”) or 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 the Affected TRA Holder(s) with respect to a Material Uncured Breach or all TRA Holders with respect to a Change of Control, an Early Termination Notice as contemplated in Section 3.02(a), and
(B) all obligations under this Agreement with respect to such TRA Holder(s) shall be accelerated. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (x) there is a Material Uncured Breach with respect to fewer than all TRA Holders and
(y) that Material Uncured Breach resulted from a willful and intentional breach of this Agreement by the Company, then all TRA Holders shall be considered an Affected TRA Holder. 

(ii) Payment upon Deemed Early Termination Event. The amount payable to the applicable TRA Holder as a result of an
acceleration contemplated in Section 3.01(b)(i) shall equal the sum of: 
 (A) an Early Termination Payment
calculated with respect to such TRA Holder(s) 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; 
 (B)
any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and such TRA Holder(s) as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of such Deemed Early Termination Event; and 

(C) any Tax Benefit Payment due to such TRA Holder(s) for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such 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 Corporation
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, within 30 days after the Corporation
elects to terminate this Agreement or the date of a Material Uncured Breach, deliver to each TRA Holder whose rights are being terminated 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 (I) the date of the Material Uncured Breach of this Agreement, in the case of a Material Uncured
Breach, (II) the effective date of the Change in Control in the case of a Change of Control, and (III) not less than 30 days and not more than 120 days after the date of the Early Termination Notice in the case of a termination pursuant to
Section 3.01(a). Within 60 days after the Corporation delivers an Early Termination Notice, the Corporation shall deliver to the applicable TRA Holder(s) a schedule showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early
Termination Payment with respect to each TRA Holder as determined in accordance with Section 3.01(b)(ii)(A), (B) and (C) (the “Early Termination Schedule”), together with a Supporting Letter
in respect of such schedule. 
 (ii) Finalization of Early Termination Schedule; Disputes. The applicable Early
Termination Schedule delivered to a TRA Holder pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(i) shall become final and binding on the Corporation and such TRA Holder unless that TRA Holder, 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 such TRA Holder 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 Holder shall employ the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in
Section 6.09. 
 (iii) Withdrawal of Early Termination Notice. The Corporation may withdraw
an Early Termination Notice delivered in connection with Section 3.01(a) 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 shall be amended by the Corporation at any time before the Early Termination Payment is made (i) in connection with a Determination materially affecting such
schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in any such schedule, or (iii) to comply with the Arbitrators’ determinations under Section 6.09. Any amendment shall be subject to the procedures of
Section 3.02(a)(ii) and the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in Section 6.09.

 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(a) or 3.01(b) (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 Corporation 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 Corporation shall pay to the TRA Holder the Early Termination Payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other amounts
due pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(ii)(B) and Section 3.01(b)(ii)(C)) due to that TRA Holder. 

(b) Effect of Early Termination Payment. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporation under
Section 3.03, neither the TRA Holder nor the Corporation 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 the Units
(including those previously Exchanged) with respect to which the rights under this Agreement 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 amounts described in clauses
(i) or (ii) are included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after the Corporation has made an Early Termination Payments with respect to all Units (including those previously Exchanged), the
Corporation 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. 

(b) Transfers of Assets by Corporation.

(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

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

Agreement, the LLC Agreement, the Reorganization 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

Section 6.05 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of

Section 6.06 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, (i) the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be valid and

Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) Assignment. 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 is an original signatory to this Agreement and that TRA Holder seeks to transfer a portion of its rights, in the aggregate,
to more than three transferees, and (ii) if the TRA Holder is not an original signatory to this Agreement and that TRA Holder seeks to transfer less than all of its rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, to the extent
Units are transferred in accordance with the terms of the LLC 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
Units, but only if such transferee executes and delivers 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. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 6.07(a), no TRA Holder shall have any right to assign or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, any of its
rights under this Agreement to any person unless the TRA Holder (together with its Affiliates) held at least 10 percent of the total Units outstanding immediately before the Reorganization.

 (b) Amendments. 

(i) General Rule. No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such 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 prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Holder

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.

pursuant to this Agreement such amounts, if any, as the Corporation 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 Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to
the TRA Holder. Each TRA Holder shall provide such necessary tax forms, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, as the Corporation may request from time to time. Before any withholding is made pursuant to this

of this Section 6.12, the Corporation shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 6.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent
jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or the other TRA Holders and that

of such Tax Item or (ii) 15 years (provided that in any year in which the Corporation is unable to use the full amount of an NOL because of section 382 of the Code (or any successor provision or other similar limitation) that it otherwise would 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.
