(ii) to report the transactions described in Section 2.4 as a contribution by Eclipse I of all of the assets of

liabilities of Eclipse I (the “Eclipse I Assumption”) and the issuance by Eclipse of its Common Stock to Eclipse I.

Section 2.4 and the Offering as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transactions described in Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 and the Offering
(collectively, the “Transactions”) that is contemplated by this Section 5.1 is referred to herein as the “Tax Treatment.” If any Party becomes aware of any audit, inquiry, litigation, or
other proceeding relevant to the Tax Treatment, such person shall promptly notify the other Parties of such proceeding, and all Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to such proceeding. 

Section 5.2 Tax Warranties by PublicCo Contributor. Each PublicCo Contributor represents and warrants to all other PublicCo
Contributors that the statements as set forth below, solely as they relate to the Tax Treatment, are true, correct, and complete as of the date hereof and as of the effective time of the Transactions with respect to such PublicCo Contributor: 

(a) Such PublicCo Contributor does not have any current plan, intention, agreement, arrangement, or understanding, and has not
engaged in any material negotiations, related to: 
 (i) engaging in the Transactions, other than pursuant to this Agreement,
any agreements referenced herein, and the Registration Statement; 
 (ii) selling or otherwise disposing for U.S. federal
income tax purposes of the Common Stock to be received by Eclipse Holdings pursuant to Section 2.4 (or, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to be treated as having been received by Eclipse I in accordance with
Section 5.1(a)), except as contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Statement (in connection with the secondary offering of Common Stock by the selling stockholders set forth therein or the exercise of the underwriters’
option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock from such selling stockholders) or with respect to the distribution of Common Stock by Eclipse Holdings (or, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by Eclipse I) to its limited partners in partial
or complete liquidation of such limited partners’ interests in Eclipse Holdings (or, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in Eclipse I);

(c) The aggregate fair market value of the assets of Eclipse I to be treated as having been contributed to Eclipse for U.S.

purposes) of the liabilities of Eclipse I in connection with the Eclipse I Assumption is not to avoid U.S. federal income tax on the exchange but instead a bona fide business purpose, and all such liabilities were incurred in the ordinary course of

Contributor, except with respect to the partial or complete liquidation of the interests of the limited partners of Eclipse Holdings (or, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in Eclipse I) in connection with the distribution of Common Stock by

I, net of liabilities of Eclipse I assumed by Eclipse (as more completely described in Section 5.2(c) above).

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 6.1 Release. Effective as of the Effective Date, each of the Parties, on behalf of himself (or herself or itself)
and his (or her or its assigns), heirs, beneficiaries, representatives, agents, and affiliates (the “Releasing Parties”), hereby fully and finally releases, acquits, and forever discharges each of the other Parties and each
of their respective present and former officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, insurers, and attorneys (the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities,
losses, costs, damages, penalties, charges, expenses, and all other forms of liability or obligation whatsoever, in law or equity, whether asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, foreseen, or unforeseen (“Claims”), arising
prior to the Effective Date and relating to such Releasing Party’s ownership of Eclipse I Units prior to the Effective Date (collectively, the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that the Released Claims
shall exclude any Claims arising from or relating to or in connection with (a) rights or obligations under this Agreement and (b) any claim or right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Existing Eclipse I LPA. Each
Releasing Party expressly acknowledges that the release contained herein applies to all Released Claims, whether such Released Claims are known or unknown, and include Released Claims that if known by the releasing party might materially affect its
decision to effect the settlement contained herein. Each Releasing Party has considered and taken into account the possible existence of such Released Claims in determining to execute and deliver this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, solely with respect to the Released Claims, each Releasing Party expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law that provides that a release does not extend to claims that the Releasing Party does
not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by the Releasing Party would have materially affected the Releasing Party’s settlement with the Released Parties. This Agreement constitutes a
complete defense of any and all Released Claims. Each Releasing Party further agrees not to initiate any litigation, lawsuit, claim, or action against any Released Party with respect to any Released Claim, except that the Releasing Party shall not
be limited hereby from responding to, joining, prosecuting, or being involved in any litigation, lawsuit, claim, or action brought against such Releasing Party in respect of a Released Claim, nor from adjudicating whether or not a Claim constitutes
a Released Claim. 

  
 10 

 Section 6.2 Indemnification.

stockholders, employees, agents, and representatives, as applicable (the “Tax Indemnitees”), from any and all damages, losses, obligations, liabilities, payments, costs, and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of
outside attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors and expert witnesses), whether known or unknown, contingent or vested, matured or unmatured, that are or may be suffered or incurred by any such Indemnitee arising out or relating to a
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation of the Indemnifying Party set forth in Article V; provided that the indemnity described in this Section 6.2(a) shall apply only to the extent that
such breach adversely affects the Tax Treatment and such adverse effect results in damages, losses, obligations, liabilities, payments, costs and/or expenses that are suffered or incurred by an Indemnitee. 

(b) Other Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time, each Unitholder shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless Eclipse Holdings and its respective partners, managers, officers, and other controlling persons, and to hold each such person or entity harmless from and against any and all damages, claims, lawsuits, losses, liabilities, deficiencies, or

the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as set forth in Section 6.1 for the Released Parties, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not create, rights in any other person and no person is or is intended to
be a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 Section 6.5 Severability. If any of the
provisions of this Agreement are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to contravene, or to be invalid under, the laws of any political body having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, such contravention or invalidity shall not
invalidate the entire Agreement. Instead, this Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the particular provision or provisions held to be invalid, and an equitable adjustment shall be made and necessary provision added so as to give
effect to the intention of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement at the time of execution of this Agreement. 
 Section 6.6
Waivers and Amendments. Any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or any amendment or supplement to this Agreement, shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the Parties. A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce
any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit, or waive a Party’s rights hereunder at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term or condition of this Agreement. 

  
 11 

 Section 6.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Eclipse
Holdings LPA, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the transactions contemplated hereby, and together supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties
pertaining thereto.
