 6 

 
Partnership Subsidiary the Tax liability for which is allocable to the Corporation for such Taxable Year using the same methods, elections, conventions and similar practices used on the relevant
Corporation Return) the relevant Taxing Authority asserts, in writing, that it proposes to increase the Tax liability of the Corporation, the for purposes of determining the Realized Tax Detriment for the year in which such assertion is made, the
amount of such increase shall be included (tentatively) as an actual Tax liability to the extent it relates to the denial of any tax benefit arising from a Basis Adjustment. The amounts taken into account in determining the Realized Tax Detriment
for subsequent tax periods similarly shall be calculated as though the Corporation and any Partnership Subsidiary filed its tax returns on the basis that such asserted tax positions were correct. If there is a Determination with respect to the
Taxable Year to which such assertion relates or any subsequent taxable year, for all purposes under this Agreement, the Net Tax Detriment for such years shall be recalculated to properly reflect the difference, if any, between the amount of
liability fixed by such Determination and liability taken into account in calculating the Realized Tax Detriment for the year. For the avoidance of doubt, if such recalculation results in an increased Net Tax Benefit for any year, the Interest
Amount of any corresponding Tax Benefit Payment shall accrue from date specified in Section 3.01(b) for such Tax Benefit Payment.

attributable to any Basis Adjustment, increased depreciation or amortization deductions attributable to an Exchange, and Imputed Interest, (ii) the U.S. federal income Tax rates and state, local and foreign 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 or the Change of Control, as applicable, (iii) any loss carryovers generated by any Basis
Adjustment or Imputed Interest and available as of the date of the Early Termination Schedule will be used by the Corporation on a pro rata basis from the date of the Early Termination Schedule through the scheduled expiration date of such loss
carryovers, and (iv) if, at the Early Termination Date or the Change of Control, there are Units that have not been Exchanged, then each such Unit shall be deemed to be Exchanged for the Market Value of the Class A Shares and the amount of
cash that would be transferred if the Exchange occurred on the Early Termination Date or the Change of Control, as applicable.

 ARTICLE 2 
 DETERMINATION OF CUMULATIVE REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

purposes) shall be entitled to a Basis Adjustment for each Exchange Asset with respect to the Corporation, the amount of which Basis Adjustment will be the excess (whether positive or negative) of (i) the sum of (x) the Market Value of the
Class A Shares, cash or the amount of any other consideration transferred to the Applicable Member pursuant to the Exchange as payment for the exchanged Units, to the extent attributable to such Exchange Assets, (y) the amount of the
payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, to the extent attributable to such Exchange Assets, and (z) the amount of debt and other liabilities allocated to the Units acquired pursuant to such Exchange, to the
extent attributable to such Exchange Assets; over (ii) the Corporation’s share of MNG’s (or such subsidiary partnership’s) basis in such Exchange Assets immediately after the Exchange, attributable to the Units exchanged,
determined as if (x) MNG (or such subsidiary partnership) remained in existence as an entity for Tax purposes and (y) MNG (or such subsidiary partnership) had not made the election provided by Section 754 of the Code. 

(b) Imputed Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, payments made under this Agreement shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis
Adjustment to the extent such payments are treated as Imputed Interest. 
 Section 2.02. Exchange Basis Schedule. Within 45
calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax return of the Corporation for each Taxable Year, the Corporation shall deliver to each Member a schedule (the “Exchange Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail,

depreciable, and (e) the amount of the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Exchanges in such Taxable Year, determined in the Corporation’s reasonable discretion. 

Section 2.03. Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 45 calendar days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax return of the Corporation for

 9 

 
Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, the Corporation shall provide to each Member 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”). The Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.04(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.04(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in
Section 2.04(b)). 
 Section 2.04. Procedures, Amendments. 

(a) Procedure. Every time the Corporation delivers to the Applicable Member an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including
any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.04(b), but excluding any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall also (i) deliver to the Applicable Member schedules and work papers
providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of such Schedule and (ii) allow the Applicable Member reasonable access, at no cost to the Applicable Member, to the appropriate representatives at the Corporation and the Advisory Firm in
connection with a review of such Schedule. The applicable Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless the Applicable Member, within 30 calendar days after receiving an Exchange Basis Schedule or amendment thereto or a Tax Benefit
Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues
raised in such notice within 30 calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice with respect to such Exchange Basis Schedule or Tax Benefit Schedule, the Corporation and the Applicable Member shall employ the reconciliation
procedures as described in Section 7.09 (the “Reconciliation Procedures”). 
 (b) Amended Schedule.
The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the Corporation (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result
of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided to the Applicable Member, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures,
(iv) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a material change in
the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year, or (vi) to adjust the Exchange Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this
Agreement (such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).

Payment Conditions have been satisfied. Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account of the Applicable Member previously
designated by such Member to the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated Tax payments, including U.S. federal income Tax payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Corporation shall not be obligated to pay any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment, and the payment of such amount shall not be considered due for any purpose under this Agreement, unless and until the Payment Conditions have been satisfied with respect
to such portion (any portion with respect to which the Payment Conditions have not been satisfied, a “Deferrable Portion”). 
 (b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” means an amount, not less than zero, equal to 85% of the sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount. The “Net Tax Benefit” for each Taxable
Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Cumulative Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year over the total amount of payments previously made under this Section 3.01, excluding payments attributable to the
Interest Amount; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, no Member shall be required to return any portion of any previously received Tax Benefit Payment under any circumstances. The “Interest Amount” for a given Taxable
Year shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without regard to extensions) for filing the Corporation Return with respect to Taxes for the most recently ended Taxable
Year until the Payment Date of the portion of the Net Tax Benefit to which such Interest Amount relates. For the avoidance of doubt, and without duplication, the Interest Amount with respect to a Deferrable Portion of a Tax Benefit Payment shall
accrue from the due date of the relevant Tax Return until such Deferrable Portion is paid to the Applicable Member. The Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments, whether paid with respect to Units that were Exchanged (i) prior to the date of such Change of Control or (ii) on or after
the date of such Change of Control, shall be calculated by utilizing the assumptions in clauses (i) and (iii) of the definition of Valuation Assumptions. 
 (c) The “Payment Conditions” shall be satisfied with respect to any portion of a Tax Benefit Payment upon the earliest to occur of: 

(i) the receipt by the Corporation of a Tax Ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Corporation, after consultation
with the Advisory Firm and the Corporation’s auditors, confirms that the Realized Tax Benefit to which the portion of such Tax Benefit Payment relates is available for the applicable Taxable Year; 

(ii) the receipt by the Corporation of (a) a written opinion issued by the Advisory Firm identifying any Exchange
Assets that are amortizable without regard to the anti-churning rules of Section 1.197-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations, together with (if the opinion relates to less than all of the Exchange Assets) (b) a valuation report prepared by a
nationally recognized appraiser or valuation expert setting forth the fair market value, as of the date of the relevant Exchange, of the Exchange Assets identified in such opinion, but only if the opinion and report are satisfactory in form and
substance to the Corporation’s auditors and/or tax preparers, as applicable, to conclude that the 

  
 11 

 
Realized Tax Benefit to which the portion of such Tax Benefit Payment relates is available for the applicable Taxable Year without the filing of a Schedule UTP (with respect to such Realized Tax
Benefit) with the Corporation’s Tax Returns and without taking any tax reserve for financial statement purposes (with respect to such Realized Tax Benefit); or 

(iii) a final Determination with respect to the Corporation’s liability for Taxes for the relevant Taxable Year that
conclusively determines the amount of Realized Tax Benefit. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Exchange Assets that
are not, in the reasonable judgment of the Corporation, after consultation with the Advisory Firm and the Corporation’s auditors, section 197 intangible within the meaning of section 197(d)(1) of the Code, shall be treated as satisfying the
requirement of Section 3.01(c)(ii)(a). 
 The Corporation shall make reasonable efforts to determine whether the Payment Conditions are
satisfied with respect to an amount of any Tax Benefit Payment before delivering the Tax Benefit Schedule for a Taxable Year, and in any event as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. 

Section 3.02. No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any
amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in 85% of the Corporation’s Cumulative Realized Tax Benefit, and the Interest Amount thereon, being paid to the
Members pursuant to this Agreement upon and subject to the satisfaction of the Payment Conditions. 
 Section 3.03. Pro Rata
Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that (i) the Corporation’s deductions with respect to any Basis Adjustment are limited in a particular Taxable Year or (ii) the Corporation lacks sufficient funds to satisfy or is
prevented under any credit agreement or other arrangement from satisfying its obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year, the limitation on the deduction, or the Tax Benefit Payments that may be made, as the case
may be, shall be taken into account or made for the Applicable Member in the same proportion as Tax Benefit Payments would have been made absent the limitations in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.03, as applicable. 

ARTICLE 4 

TERMINATION 

Section 4.01. Early Termination and Breach of Agreement. 
 (a) The Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Units held (or previously held and Exchanged) by all Members at any time by paying to the Members the Early Termination Payment;
provided, however, that this Agreement shall terminate only upon the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by all Members, and provided, further, that the Corporation may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this
Section 4.01(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payments by the Corporation, neither the Members nor the 

  
 12 

 
Corporation shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any (i) Tax Benefit Payment agreed by the Corporation acting in good faith and the Applicable
Member to be due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (ii) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (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 the Corporation makes the Early Termination Payments with respect to all Members, the Corporation shall have no obligations
under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange, and its only obligations under this Agreement in such case shall be its obligations to all Members under Section 4.03(a). 

(b) In the event that the Corporation breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to
make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11, U.S.C., or otherwise, then
all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but shall not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination
Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed by the Corporation acting in good faith and any Applicable Member to be due and payable but unpaid as of the
date of a breach, and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation breaches this Agreement, the Members shall be entitled
to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months
of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it shall not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make
a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due. 
 (c) The Corporation, MNG and
each of the Members hereby acknowledge that, as of the date of this Agreement, the aggregate value of the Tax Benefit Payments cannot reasonably be ascertained for U.S. federal income Tax or other applicable Tax purposes. 

Section 4.02. Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.01
above, or upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall deliver to each present or former Member a notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early
Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporation’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment including that portion of the Early Termination Payment that has
satisfied the Payment Conditions and that portion of the Early Termination Payment that has not, as of the Early Termination Date, satisfied a Payment Condition. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless an
Applicable Member, within 30 calendar 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
parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the 

  
 13 

 
Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and the relevant Member shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement. 

Section 4.03. Payment upon Early Termination. 
 (a) Within 30 calendar days of the Early Termination Conditions being satisfied with respect to an Early Termination Payment (or a portion thereof), the Corporation shall pay to each Applicable Member an
amount equal to the Early Termination Payment (or the portion thereof for which the Early Termination Conditions have been satisfied), plus interest calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due Early Termination Date until the Payment Date of such
Early Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Applicable Member. For the avoidance of doubt, after the initial Early Termination Payment, the Corporation
will be required to make additional payments to the Member with respect to the Deferrable Portion of the Early Termination Payment if and when a Payment Conditions has been satisfied with respect to such Deferrable Portion. In addition, the
Corporation shall pay the Member an amount equal to the Realized Tax Benefit resulting from the sale of a non amortizable asset. Such payment shall be due 30 calendar days after such sale has closed. 

(b) The “Early Termination Payment” as of the date of the delivery of an Early Termination Schedule shall equal with
respect to the Applicable Member the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporation to the Applicable Member beginning from the Early
Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied. 
 Section 4.04. Scheduled Termination. No Tax Benefit
Payment shall accrue, or shall become due or payable with respect to any Exchange after the sixtieth anniversary (the “Scheduled Termination Date”) of the effective date of such Exchange. For avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall
continue to be in effect in periods after the Scheduled Termination Date with respect to Tax Benefit Payments that arise on or before such date, or any adjustment thereto, and shall terminate upon such time as when all Tax Benefit Payment due and
payable hereunder have been paid and the Determinations have been with respect to all such payments. 
 ARTICLE 5 

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS 
 Section 5.01. Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required to be made by the Corporation to the
Members under this Agreement (an “Exchange Payment”) shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for
borrowed money of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporation that are not Senior Obligations. 

Section 5.02. Late Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any Exchange Payment not made to any Member when due
(without regard to Section 5.01) under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed 

  
 14 

 
at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such Exchange Payment was due and payable. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION 

Section 6.01. Member Participation in the Corporation and MNG’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation
shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporation and MNG, including the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall notify each relevant Member of, and keep such Member reasonably informed with respect to the portion of any audit of the Corporation and MNG by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is
reasonably expected to affect such Member’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and shall provide to such Member reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Corporation, MNG and their respective advisors
concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Corporation and MNG shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the LLC Agreement. 

Section 6.02. Consistency. The Corporation and the Applicable Member agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including
U.S. federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including the Basis Adjustment and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporation in any Schedule
required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporation under this Agreement. In this regard, the Corporation and the Applicable Member agree to report any gain of the Member resulting from an Exchange as capital gain unless the Corporation is
advised otherwise by an Advisory Firm. Any Dispute concerning such advice shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.09. In the event that an Advisory Firm is replaced, such replacement Advisory Firm shall be required to perform its services
under this Agreement using procedures and methodologies consistent with the previous Advisory Firm, unless (a) otherwise required by law or (b) the Corporation and the Applicable Member agree to the use of other procedures and
methodologies. 
 Section 6.03. Cooperation. The Applicable Member shall (a) furnish to the Corporation in a timely manner
such information, documents and other materials, or make such representations, as the Corporation may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return
or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the Corporation and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as
the Corporation or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter described in clause (a) above. The
Corporation shall reimburse the Applicable Member for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.03.

 Section 7.06. Successors; Assignment; Amendments; and Waivers. 

(a) No Member may assign this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the Corporation; provided, however, that
(i) to the extent Units are transferred in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, the transferring Member shall have the option to assign to the transferee of such Units the transferring Member’s rights under this Agreement with
respect to such transferred Units, as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit A to this
Agreement, agreeing to become a “Member” for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder, and (ii) once an Exchange has occurred, any and all payments that may become payable to a Member pursuant to
this Agreement with respect to the Exchanged Units may be assigned to any Person or Persons as long as any such Person has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such assignment, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form
and substance substantially similar to Exhibit A to this Agreement, agreeing to be bound by Section 7.12 and acknowledging specifically the terms of Section 7.06(b). For the avoidance of doubt, if a Member transfers Units but does not
assign to the transferee of such Units such Member’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units, such Member shall continue to be entitled to receive the Tax Benefit Payments arising in respect of a subsequent Exchange
of such Units. 
 (b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by each of the
Corporation and MNG and by Members who would be entitled to receive at least fifty one percent (51%) of the Early Termination Payments payable to all Members hereunder if the Corporation had exercised its right of early termination on the date
of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any Principal pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided, however, that no such amendment
shall be effective if such amendment would have a disproportionate effect on the payments certain Members will or may receive under this Agreement unless all such Members disproportionately effected consent in writing to such amendment. No provision
of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. 
 (c) Except as otherwise specifically 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 parties hereto
and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all
or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to 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 7.07. 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. 

  
 18 

 Section 7.08. Resolution of Disputes. 

(a) Any and all claims, disputes and other disagreements arising hereunder (each, a “Dispute”) which are not governed by
Section 7.09, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non- performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope
and enforceability of this Section 7.08 and Section 7.09) shall be governed by this Section 7.08. The parties hereto shall attempt in good faith to resolve all Disputes by negotiation. If a Dispute between the parties hereto cannot be
resolved in such manner, such Dispute shall, at the request of any party, after providing written notice to the other party or parties to the Dispute, be submitted to arbitration in New York in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association then in effect. The proceeding shall be confidential. The party initially asserting the Dispute (the “Initiating Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Responding Party”) of the
name and address of the arbitrator chosen by the Initiating Party and shall specifically describe the Dispute in issue to be submitted to arbitration. Within 30 days of receipt of such notification, the Responding Party shall notify the Initiating
Party of its answer to the Dispute, any counterclaim which it wishes to assert in the arbitration and the name and address of the arbitrator chosen by the Responding Party. If the Responding Party does not appoint an arbitrator during such 30-day
period, appointment of the second arbitrator shall be made by the American Arbitration Association upon request of the Initiating Party. The two arbitrators so chosen or appointed shall choose a third arbitrator, who shall serve as president of the
panel of arbitrators (the “Panel”) thus composed. If the two arbitrators so chosen or appointed fail to agree upon the choice of a third arbitrator within 30 days from the appointment of the second arbitrator, the third arbitrator
will be appointed by the American Arbitration Association upon the request of the arbitrators or either of the parties. In all cases, the arbitrators must be persons who have substantial experience in tax matters. The arbitrators will act by
majority decisions. Any decision of the arbitrators shall (i) be rendered in writing and shall bear the signatures of at least two arbitrators, and (ii) identify the members of the Panel, and the time and place of the award granted. Absent
fraud or manifest error, any such decision of the Panel shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration and enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the
parties to the arbitration; provided, however, that each party shall pay for and bear the costs of its own experts, evidence and legal counsel, unless the arbitrator rules otherwise in the arbitration. The parties shall complete all discovery within
30 days after the Panel is composed, shall complete the presentation of evidence to the Panel within 15 days after the completion of discovery, and a final decision with respect to the matter submitted to arbitration shall be rendered within 15 days
after the completion of presentation of evidence. The parties hereto shall cause to be kept a record of the proceedings of any matter submitted to arbitration hereunder. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during
any arbitration proceedings. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitrator shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitrator is not empowered to
award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute. The award shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties
regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets. 

  
 19 

 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.08(a), the Corporation may bring an
action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the
purposes of this Section 7.08(b), each Member (i) expressly consents to the application of Section 7.08(c) to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the
provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Corporation as such Member’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or
proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such Member in writing of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Member in any such action or
proceeding. 
 (c) The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on
any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that is brought in accordance with Section 7.08(b) shall be brought and maintained exclusively in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York or the Supreme Court of the State of New York located in the County of New York. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts
therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding in such courts may be served, and shall be effective, on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court,
by any of the methods specified for the giving of Notices pursuant to Section 7.01. Each of the parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection or defense that it may now or hereafter have based on venue,
inconvenience of forum, the lack of personal jurisdiction and the adequacy of service of process (as long as the party was provided Notice in accordance with the methods specified in Section 7.01) in any suit action or proceeding brought in
such courts. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING SEEKING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF, OR BASED ON ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 Section 7.09. Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporation and the relevant
Member are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.04, 4.02 and 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be
submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner in a nationally recognized accounting firm or a
law firm (other than the Advisory Firm), and the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with either the Corporation or the relevant Member or other actual or potential conflict of interest.
If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within 15 days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert
shall resolve any matter relating to the Exchange Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within 30 calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an
amendment thereto within 15 calendar days or as 

  
 20 

 
soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved
before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on such date and such Tax Return may
be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. In the event that this reconciliation provision is utilized, the fees of the Expert shall be paid in proportion to the manner in which the dispute is
resolved, such that, for example, if the entire dispute is resolved in favor of the Corporation, the relevant Member shall pay all of the fees, or if the items in dispute are resolved 50% in favor of the Corporation and 50% in favor of the relevant
Member, each of the Corporation and the relevant Member shall pay 50% of the fees of the Expert. Any Dispute as to whether a Dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.09 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert
shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall be binding on the Corporation and the relevant Member and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

 Section 7.10. Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this
Agreement such amounts 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 foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and 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 Applicable Member. 
 Section 7.11. Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets. 
 (a) If the Corporation 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 foreign law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items
hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated Taxable income of the group as a whole. 
 (b) If any entity that
is obligated to make an Exchange Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a corporation with which such entity does not file a consolidated Tax return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, such entity, for purposes of calculating the
amount of any Exchange Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully Taxable transaction on the date of
such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset, plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a contribution of an
encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership interest. 

  
 21 

 Section 7.12. Confidentiality. 

(a) Each Member and assignee acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Corporation and of its Affiliates 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, such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not
disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporation and its Affiliates and successors, concerning MNG and its Affiliates and successors or the other Members, learned by the Member heretofore or
hereafter. This Section 7.12(a) shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of such Member in violation of
this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a Member to prepare and file his or her Tax returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any
Taxing authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Member and assignee (and each employee, representative or other
agent of such Member or assignee, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Corporation, MNG, the Members and their Affiliates, and any of their transactions, and

 ARTICLE II 

SHELF REGISTRATION 
  

	 	2.1	Shelf Registration. 

 (a) Initial Shelf Registration Statement. As soon as practicable after M&N becomes eligible to file a Form S-3 Registration Statement under the Securities Act, M&N shall use its reasonable
best efforts to file with the SEC a Form S-3 Registration Statement providing for an offering of all Registrable Securities then issued upon Exchange and in accordance with the method(s) of distribution proposed by the Holders. M&N shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare such Form S-3 Registration Statement effective as soon as practicable thereafter. M&N shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Form S-3 Registration Statement continuously effective
until the earlier of (i) two years after such Form S-3 Registration Statement has been declared effective and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement have been sold in accordance
with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement, or otherwise. 
 (b) Subsequent Shelf Registration Statements. As soon as practicable after the Exchange Closing Date occurring after the initial Exchange Closing Date and prior to the second anniversary of the
IPO, M&N shall use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a Form S-3 Registration Statement providing for an offering of all Registrable Securities then issued upon Exchange and not already registered pursuant to a Form S-3
Registration Statement and in accordance with the method(s) of distribution proposed by the Holders. M&N shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare such Form S-3 Registration Statement effective as soon as practicable
thereafter. M&N shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Form S-3 Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) two years after such Form S-3 Registration Statement has been declared effective and
(ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such Form S-3 Registration Statement have been sold in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in such Form S-3 Registration
Statement, or otherwise. 
 (c) Suspensions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
M&N shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the Holders, to require such Holders to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under any Shelf Registration Statement for a reasonable period
of time not to exceed 90 days in succession or 180 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period (a “Suspension Period”) if M&N shall determine that it is required to disclose in any such Shelf Registration Statement a
financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting M&N or its securities, and that the disclosure of such information at such time would be detrimental to M&N or
the holders of its equity securities. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Holders shall suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made as required below. Any Suspension Period shall terminate
at such time as the public disclosure of such information is made. After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a Holder, M&N shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or
supplement to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included
therein, the prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

(d) Information Requested from Holders. Not less than ten business days before the expected filing date of each Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement, M&N shall notify each Holder of the 

  
 3 

 
information, documents and instruments from such Holder that M&N or any underwriter reasonably requests in order to include its Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement,
including, but not limited to a questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney and, if applicable, a lock-up letter and underwriting agreement (collectively, the “Requested Information”). If M&N has not received, on or before the
second day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such Holder, M&N may file such Shelf Registration Statement without including the Registrable Securities of such Holder. The failure to include such Registrable
Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement shall not in and of itself result in any liability on the part of M&N to such Holder. 
 (e) No Grant of Future Registration Rights. M&N shall not grant any shelf, demand, piggyback or incidental registration rights that are senior to the rights granted to the Holders hereunder to
any other Person without the prior written consent of Holders of at least a majority of the number of Registrable Securities as of the date that M&N requests such consent and such consent may be given in the sole discretion of each of the
Holders. 
 2.2 Withdrawal Rights. Any Holder having notified or directed M&N to include any or all of its
Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written
notice to such effect to M&N prior to the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, M&N shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable
Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of M&N with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn. If a Holder withdraws its notification
or direction to M&N to include any of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement in accordance with this Section 2.2, such Holder shall be required to promptly reimburse M&N for incremental expenses incurred by M&N in
connection with preparing for the registration of the Registrable Securities so withdrawn. 
  

	 	2.3	Registration Procedures. 

 (a) In connection with M&N’s obligations to use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Transfer of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof,
M&N shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 
 (i) Before the filing of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any
amendment to any such Shelf Registration Statement, M&N will furnish to the Holders electing to include Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement (the “Selling Holders”), or counsel selected by the Selling Holders, a
copy of such document for review, which review shall be conducted with reasonable promptness; 
 (ii) Prepare and file with the
SEC such amendments and supplements to each Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of Section 2.1, and the prospectus(es) used in connection therewith, as may be necessary to (A) keep

Registration Statement; 
 (iii) Furnish each Selling Holder and any underwriter of the Registrable Securities being sold by
such Selling Holder (A) a conformed copy of such Shelf Registration Statement and each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), (B) such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such Shelf Registration
Statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), each “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, a “Free Writing Prospectus”) utilized in connection therewith, and
any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and (C) such other documents as such Selling Holder and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Selling Holder; 
 (iv) Use
reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement under such other securities laws or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Selling Holder or underwriter of the
Registrable Securities being sold by such Selling Holder shall reasonably request, and take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable any such Selling 

  
 4 

 
Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities, except that M&N shall not for any such purpose be required to (A) qualify
generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (iv) be obligated to be so qualified, (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or
(C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
 (v) Use reasonable best efforts to cause the
Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to each such Shelf Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by M&N are then listed;

registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Selling Holder(s) thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

(vii) Promptly make available for inspection by any Selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any
Shelf Registration Statement, and any Representative retained by any such Selling Holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of M&N
(collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause M&N’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any such
Inspector in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that, unless the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement or the release of
such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, M&N shall not be required to provide any information under this subparagraph (vii) if (A) M&N believes, after consultation with
counsel for M&N, that to do so would cause M&N to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or (B) if either (1) M&N has requested and been granted from the SEC confidential treatment of such
information contained in any filing with the SEC or documents provided supplementally or otherwise or (2) M&N reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing unless prior to
furnishing any such information with respect to (A) or (B) such Selling Holder requesting such information agrees, and causes each of its Inspectors, to enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to M&N; and
provided, further, that each Selling Holder agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to M&N and allow M&N, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential; 
 (viii) Promptly notify in writing each
applicable Selling Holder and underwriter, if any, of the following events: 
 (A) the filing of the applicable Shelf
Registration Statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or any Free Writing Prospectus utilized in connection therewith, and, with respect to such Shelf
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; 
 (B) any request by the
SEC or any other Government Entity for amendments or supplements to such Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus or for additional information; 
 (C) the issuance by the SEC or any other Government Entity of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any Person for that
purpose; and 
 (D) the receipt by M&N of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of
applicable Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose; 

  
 5 

 (ix) Notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating to the sale of its
Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, such prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any Selling Holder, promptly prepare and furnish to each such Selling Holder a reasonable number of copies of
a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 (x) Use reasonable
best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement then required to be effective pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of 2.1 hereof; 

(xi) Otherwise use reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to all
Selling Holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement of M&N covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the first day of M&N’s first full quarter after the
effective date of each Shelf Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 

(xii) Use its reasonable best efforts to assist Selling Holders who made a request to M&N to provide for a third party “market
maker” for the Class A Shares; provided, however, that M&N shall not be required to serve as such “market maker”; 
 (xiii) Cooperate with the Selling Holders and any underwriter of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends
unless required under applicable law) representing the Registrable Securities being sold under each Shelf Registration Statement, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing
underwriter or such Selling Holders may request and keep available and make available to M&N’s transfer agent prior to the effectiveness of each such Shelf Registration Statement a supply of such certificates; and 

(xiv) M&N may require each Selling Holder and underwriter of Registrable Securities, if any, to furnish M&N in writing such
information regarding each Selling Holder or underwriter and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as M&N may from time to time reasonably request to complete or amend the information required by the applicable Shelf Registration
Statement. 
 (b) Each Selling Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from M&N of the occurrence of any event of the
kind described in clauses (viii) or (ix) of Section 2.4(a), such Selling Holder shall forthwith discontinue such Selling Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement and
prospectus relating thereto until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.4(a)(ix) and, if so directed by M&N, deliver to M&N, at M&N’s expense, all
copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Selling Holder’s possession of the prospectus current at the time of receipt of such notice relating to such Registrable Securities. In the event M&N shall give such notice, any
applicable period during which such Shelf Registration Statement must remain effective pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended by the number of days during the period from the date of giving of a notice regarding the happening of an event of
the kind described in clauses (viii) or (ix) of Section 2.4(a), as applicable, to the date when all such Selling Holders shall receive such a supplemented or amended prospectus and such prospectus shall have been filed with the SEC.

 2.4 Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to M&N’s performance of, or compliance with, its
obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, all fees and expenses of compliance with securities and “blue sky” laws, all fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made
with FINRA (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” as such term is defined in NASD Rule 2720), all fees and expenses of compliance with securities and “blue sky” laws, all
printing (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested

  
 6 

 
by a holder of Registrable Securities) and copying expenses, all messenger and delivery expenses and all fees and expenses of M&N’s independent certified public accountants and counsel
(including, without limitation, with respect to “comfort” letters and opinions) (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”) shall be borne by M&N; provided, however, that M&N shall not pay any Registration
Expenses, or any other expenses, relating to underwriters’ discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities. Each Selling Holder shall bear and pay its portion of (a) all underwriting
discounts and commissions, (b) transfer taxes and transfer fees, if any, and (c) any other expense of the Selling Holders not specifically allocated to M&N pursuant to this Section 2.4, in each case relating to the sale of such

	 	2.5	Registration Indemnification. 

 (a) By M&N. M&N agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
managers, partners and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling Holder or such other indemnified Person from and against all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, the “Losses”) caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to M&N by
such Selling Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with an Underwritten Offering and without limiting any of M&N’s other obligations under this Agreement, M&N shall also indemnify such underwriters, their officers, directors,
employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriters or such other indemnified Person to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification (and exceptions thereto) of Selling Holders. Reimbursements payable pursuant to the indemnification contemplated by this Section 2.6(a) will be made by periodic payments during the course of any investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred. 
 (b) By the Selling Holders. In connection with any Shelf
Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Selling Holder will furnish to M&N, in writing, information regarding such Selling Holder’s ownership of Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution
thereof and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify M&N, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) M&N or such other indemnified Person against all Losses caused by any untrue statement of material fact contained in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement,
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is caused by and contained in such information so furnished in writing by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that each Selling Holder’s obligation to indemnify M&N hereunder shall, to the extent more than one Selling Holder is subject to the same indemnification obligation, be apportioned between each Selling Holder based upon the
net amount received by each Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities, as compared to the total net amount received by all of the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder shall be liable to M&N for amounts in excess of the lesser of (i) such apportionment and (ii) the amount received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.

 (c) Notice. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying
party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has
been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis. 

  
 7 

 (d) Defense of Actions. In any case in which any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not
(so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be
defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified
party is or is reasonably likely to be prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining separate legal counsel). An
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying party shall lose its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter
if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled in accordance with the next following sentence). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, it being understood that the indemnified party shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its consent if the proposed settlement imposes any obligation on the indemnified party). 

(e) Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified Person and will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (f) Contribution. If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled
to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons. In determining the amount
of contribution to which the respective Persons are entitled, there shall be considered the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and
prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita
allocation. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder or transferee thereof shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net amount received by such holder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave
rise to the contribution obligation. 
 ARTICLE III 

TERMINATION 
 3.1 Term. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (a) the [ten (10)] year anniversary of the consummation of the IPO, or (b) the date that no Holder owns
any Units that are entitled to be exchanged for Class A Shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. 
 3.2
Survival. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions set forth in Section 2.5 and Article IV.

MISCELLANEOUS

 8 

 4.2 Lockup. Each Holder shall, in connection with any registration of
Registrable Securities, upon the request of M&N or the underwriters managing any Underwritten Offering, agree in writing not to effect any sale, disposition or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of
any Registrable Securities (other than that included in the Form S-3 Registration Statement) without the prior written consent of M&N or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days from the
effective date of the registration of the Form S-3 Registration Statement as M&N or the underwriters may specify; provided, however, that all executive officers and directors of M&N shall also have agreed not to effect any
sale, disposition or distribution of any Registrable Securities under the circumstances and pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 4.2. 
 4.3 Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of any Holder under this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Securities may be Transferred to (a) any permitted
transferee of such Registrable Securities who acquires the Registrable Securities or (b) an Affiliate of such Holder; provided, however, that (i) the Transferring Holder shall give M&N written notice at or prior to the
time of such Transfer stating the name and address of the transferee and identifying the securities with respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being Transferred, (ii) such transferee shall agree in writing, in substantially the
form attached hereto as Annex A, to be bound as a Holder by the provisions of this Agreement and (iii) immediately following such Transfer the further disposition of such securities by such transferee is restricted under the Securities Act.
Except as set forth in this Section 4.3, no Transfer of Registrable Securities shall cause such Registrable Securities to lose such status. 
 4.4 Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Holders without the prior written consent of M&N.
Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. 

4.5 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder to any party shall be deemed to be

the State of New York (without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof). The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its
specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable remedies to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof in the United States District Court for the [—] District of New York, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Any requirements for
the securing or posting of any bond with respect to such remedy are hereby waived by each of the parties hereto. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for an injunction or other equitable remedy in respect of such breach or
enforcement of specific performance, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 4.12

(a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York and waives any objection to venue being laid in such Court whether based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or otherwise and
hereby agrees not to commence any such Proceeding other than before such Court; provided, however, that a party may commence any Proceeding in a court other than such Court solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment
issued by such Court; (b) consents to service of process in any Proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized international express carrier or delivery service, to M&N or the
Holders at their respective addresses referred to in Section 4.5 hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; and (c) TO THE
EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION

amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by M&N and a majority of the Holders, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
