tax purposes. In making such decisions, the Managing Member may rely upon the advice of the independent accountants of the Company.

 

(b)            Records

and records of PubCo (or, if such firm declines to perform such audit, by an accounting firm selected by the Managing Member).

 

    19

     

    

 

(ii)            In
the event that neither PubCo nor the Company is required to file an annual report on Form 10-K or quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the following to each Member:

 

(A)            not
later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company, a copy of the audited consolidated balance sheet of the

Returns.

 

(i)             The
Company shall timely cause to be prepared all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns (including information returns) of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, which may be required by a jurisdiction in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or conduct business for
each year or period for which such returns are required to be filed and shall cause such returns to be timely filed. Upon request of
any Member, the Company shall furnish to each Member a copy of such tax return.

 

(ii)            The
Company shall furnish to each Member (a) as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, information concerning
the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably required for the preparation of federal, state and local income tax returns of such Members
(or any beneficial owner(s) of such Member), including a Schedule K-1 within one hundred fifty (150) days following the end of such
Fiscal Year, indicating each Member’s share of the Company’s taxable income, gain, credits, losses and deductions for such
year, in sufficient detail to enable such Member to prepare its federal, state and local income tax returns; provided, that the
Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide estimates of such information believed by the Managing Member in
good faith to be reasonable, (b) as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the relevant fiscal period, such information
concerning the Company as is required to enable such Member (or any beneficial owner of such Member) to pay estimated taxes (and, as
soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than five (5) business days prior to the applicable quarterly estimated tax
payment due date, tax information necessary for the Members to make their quarterly estimated tax payments) and (c) as soon as reasonably
practicable after a request by such Member, such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is reasonably requested
by such Member for compliance with its tax obligations (or the tax obligations of any beneficial owner(s) of such Member) or for
tax planning purposes.

 

    20

     

    

 

(e)            Inconsistent
Positions. No Member shall take a position on its income tax return with respect to any item of Company income, gain, deduction,
loss or credit that is different from the position taken on the Company’s income tax return with respect to such item unless such
Member notifies the Company of the different position the Member desires to take and the Company’s regular tax advisors, after
consulting with the Member, are unable to provide an opinion that (after taking into account all of the relevant facts and circumstances)
the arguments in favor of the Company’s position outweigh the arguments in favor of the Member’s position. Nothing in this
Section 3.03(e) shall limit the other provisions of this Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement specifically providing
for the tax characterization of transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Section 3.04           Recapitalization;

order to effect the Recapitalization, the number of Original Units that were issued and outstanding and held by the Pre-IPO Members
prior to the date hereof as set forth opposite the respective Pre-IPO Member in Schedule A are hereby converted, as of the
date hereof, and after giving effect to such conversion and the other transactions related to the Recapitalization, into the number
of Common Units, as applicable, set forth opposite the name of the respective Member on the Schedule of Members attached hereto as Schedule
A (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the number of Common Units set forth on Schedule A shall include the Common
Units issued to PubCo pursuant to the IPO Common Unit Subscription Agreement), and such Common Units are hereby issued and
outstanding as of the date hereof and the holders of such Common Units are Members hereunder. Following the Recapitalization, the
Company shall issue to PubCo, and PubCo will acquire 49,493,275 newly issued Common Units in exchange for a portion of the IPO Net

MANAGING
MEMBER OWNERSHIP; RESTRICTIONS ON MANAGING MEMBER UNITS

 

Section 4.01           Managing
Member Ownership.

 

(a)            Except
as otherwise determined by the Managing Member, the Company and PubCo shall undertake all actions, including, without limitation, an
issuance, reclassification, distribution, division or recapitalization, with respect to the Common Units and the Class A Common
Stock to maintain at all times (i) a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by PubCo and / or any wholly-owned
Subsidiary of PubCo, in the aggregate, and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, in the aggregate, and (ii) a
one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by each Member (other than PubCo), directly or indirectly, and the number of
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock owned by such Member in each case, disregarding, for purposes of maintaining the one-to-one
ratio contemplated by clause (i) and clause (ii) above, (A) Unvested PubCo Shares (to the extent the shares of Class A
Common Stock underlying the applicable award are not actually issued and outstanding), (B) treasury stock, and (C) preferred
stock or other debt or equity securities (including, without limitation, warrants, options or rights) issued by PubCo that are convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock (except to the extent the net proceeds from such other securities,
including any exercise or purchase price payable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof, have been contributed by PubCo to the
equity capital of the Company). Except as otherwise determined by the Managing Member, in the event PubCo issues, transfers or delivers
from treasury stock or repurchases or redeems PubCo’s preferred stock in a transaction not contemplated in this Agreement, the
Managing Member and PubCo shall take all actions such that, after giving effect to all such issuances, transfers, deliveries, repurchases
or redemptions, PubCo, directly or indirectly, holds (in the case of any issuance, transfer or delivery) or ceases to hold (in the case
of any repurchase or redemption) equity interests in the Company which (in the good faith determination by the Managing Member) are in
the aggregate substantially economically equivalent to the outstanding preferred stock of PubCo so issued, transferred, delivered, repurchased
or redeemed. Except as otherwise determined by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion, the Company and PubCo shall not undertake
any subdivision (by any Common Unit split, stock split, Common Unit distribution, stock distribution, reclassification, division, recapitalization
or similar event) or combination (by reverse Common Unit split, reverse stock split, reclassification, division, recapitalization or
similar event) of the Common Units, Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, that is not accompanied by
an identical subdivision or combination of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Common Units, respectively, to maintain
at all times (x) a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by PubCo and / or any wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo,
in the aggregate, and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, in the aggregate, or (y) a one-to-one ratio
between the number of Common Units owned by each Member (other than PubCo), directly or indirectly, and the number of outstanding shares
of Class B Common Stock owned by such Member, directly or indirectly, in each case, unless such action is necessary to maintain
at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by PubCo and / or any wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, in the
aggregate, and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, in the aggregate, or the number of Common Units owned by
Members (other than PubCo), directly or indirectly, and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, as contemplated
by the first sentence of this Section 4.01(a).

 

(b)            The
Company shall only be permitted to issue additional Common Units, and/or establish other classes or series of Units or other Equity Securities
in the Company to the Persons and on the terms and conditions provided for in Section 3.01, this Section 4.01,
Section 4.03 and Section 9.01. Subject to the foregoing, the Managing Member may cause the Company to issue additional
Common Units authorized under this Agreement and/or establish other classes or series of Units or other Equity Securities in the Company
at such times and upon such terms as the Managing Member shall determine and the Managing Member shall amend this Agreement as necessary
in connection with the issuance of additional Common Units and admission of additional Members under this Section 4.01 without
the requirement of any consent or acknowledgement of any other Member.

 

    22

     

    

 

Section 4.02           Restrictions
on Managing Member Units. Except as otherwise determined by the Managing Member in connection with the use of cash or other assets
held by PubCo, if at any time, any shares of Class A Common Stock are repurchased or redeemed (whether by exercise of a put or call,
automatically or by means of another arrangement) by PubCo for cash, then the Managing Member shall cause the Company, immediately prior
to such repurchase or redemption of Class A Common Stock, to redeem a corresponding number of Common Units held (directly or indirectly)
by PubCo, at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase or redemption price of the shares of Class A Common Stock
being repurchased or redeemed by PubCo (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the shares of
Class A Common Stock being repurchased or redeemed by PubCo; provided, if PubCo uses funds received from distributions from
the Company or the net proceeds from an issuance of Class A Common Stock to fund such repurchase or redemption, then the Company
shall cancel a corresponding number of Common Units held (directly or indirectly) by PubCo for no consideration. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any repurchase or redemption if such repurchase or
redemption would violate any applicable Law.

 

Section 4.03           Equity
Plans.

 

(a)            If
at any time or from time to time, in connection with any Equity Plan, a stock option granted over shares of Class A Common Stock
to a Person is duly exercised:

 

(i)             PubCo
shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, make a Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to the exercise price
paid to PubCo by such exercising Person in connection with the exercise of such stock option.

 

(ii)            Notwithstanding
the amount of the Capital Contribution actually made pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(i), PubCo shall be deemed to have contributed
to the Company as a Capital Contribution, in lieu of the Capital Contribution actually made and in consideration of additional Common
Units, an amount equal to the Value of a share of Class A Common Stock as of the date of such exercise multiplied by the number
of shares of Class A Common Stock then being issued by PubCo in connection with the exercise of such stock option.

 

(iii)           PubCo
shall receive in exchange for such Capital Contributions (as deemed made under Section 4.03(a)(ii)), a number of Common Units
equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which such option was exercised.

 

(b)            If
at any time or from time to time, in connection with any Equity Plan, any shares of Class A Common Stock are issued to a Person:

 

(i)             PubCo
shall issue such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as are to be issued to such Person in accordance with the Equity Plan;

 

(ii)            on
the Vesting Date, the following events will be deemed to have occurred: (1) PubCo shall be deemed to have sold such shares of Class A
Common Stock to the Company for a purchase price equal to the Value of such shares of Class A Common Stock, (2) the Company
shall be deemed to have delivered such shares of Class A Common Stock to such Person, (3) PubCo shall be deemed to have contributed
the purchase price for such shares of Class A Common Stock to the Company as a Capital Contribution, and (4) in the case where
such Person is an employee of a Subsidiary, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed such amount to the capital of the Subsidiary;
and

 

    23

     

    

 

(iii)           the
Company shall issue to PubCo on the Vesting Date a number of Common Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issued under Section 4.03(b)(i) in consideration for a Capital Contribution that the Corporation is deemed to make to
the Company pursuant to clause (3) of Section 4.03(b)(ii) above.

 

Article V.

 

CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS;

DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS

 

Section 5.01           Capital
Contributions.

 

(a)            From
and after the date hereof, no Member shall have any obligation to the Company, to any other Member or to any creditor of the Company
to make any further Capital Contribution, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(b)            Except
as expressly provided herein or in the Act, no Member, in its capacity as a Member, shall have the right to receive any Property of the
Company.

 

Section 5.02           Capital
Accounts.

 

(a)            Maintenance
of Capital Accounts. The Company shall maintain a Capital Account for each Member on the books of the Company in accordance with
the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and, to the extent consistent with such provisions, the following
provisions:

 

(i)             Each
Member listed on the Member Schedule shall be credited with the Initial Capital Account Balance set forth on the Member Schedule.
The Member Schedule shall be amended by the Managing Member from time to time to reflect adjustments to the Members’ Capital
Accounts made in accordance with Sections 5.02(a)(ii), 5.02(a)(iii), 5.02(a)(iv), 5.02(c) or otherwise.

 

(ii)            To
each Member’s Capital Account there shall be credited: (A) such Member’s Capital Contributions, (B) such Member’s
distributive share of Net Income and any item in the nature of income or gain that is allocated pursuant to Section 5.04
and (C) the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or that are secured by any Property distributed to such Member.

 

(iii)           To
each Member’s Capital Account there shall be debited: (A) the amount of money and the Carrying Value of any Property distributed
to such Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, (B) such Member’s distributive share of Net Loss and any items
in the nature of expenses or losses that are allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.04 and (C) the amount of
any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or that are secured by any Property contributed by such Member to the Company.

 

    24

     

    

 

(iv)          In
determining the amount of any liability for purposes of subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) above there shall be taken into account
Section 752(c) of the Code and any other applicable provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations.

 

The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement
relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall
be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. In the event that the Managing Member shall reasonably
determine that it is necessary to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts or any debits or credits thereto are maintained (including
debits or credits relating to liabilities that are secured by contributed or distributed Property or that are assumed by the Company
or the Members) to comply with the Code and Treasury Regulations, the Managing Member may (acting reasonably and in good faith) make
such modification so long as such modification will not have any effect on the amounts distributed to any Person pursuant to Article XI
upon the dissolution of the Company. The Managing Member also may (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate
to maintain equality between Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet,
as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and (ii) make any appropriate
modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

 

(b)            Succession
to Capital Accounts. In the event any Person becomes a Substitute Member in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such
Substitute Member shall succeed to the Capital Account of the former Member (the “Transferor Member”) to the extent
such Capital Account relates to the Transferred Units.

 

(c)            Adjustments
of Capital Accounts. The Company shall revalue the Capital Accounts of the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) at
the following times: (i) immediately prior to the contribution of more than a de minimis amount of money or other property
to the Company by a new or existing Member as consideration for one or more Units; (ii) immediately prior to the distribution by
the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of property in respect of one or more Units; (iii) immediately prior
to the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); (iv) in connection
with the issuance by the Company of more than a de minimis amount of Units as consideration for the provision of services to or
for the benefit of the Company (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(iii)) and (v) at other
times as determined by the Managing Member; provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) above
need not be made if the Managing Member reasonably determines that such adjustments are not necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative
economic interests of the Members and that the absence of such adjustments does not adversely and disproportionately affect any Member.
The Company shall be entitled to take all actions necessary (as determined by the Managing Member) to comply with the provisions of the
Code and Treasury Regulations relating to non-compensatory options.

 

(d)            No
Member shall be entitled to withdraw capital or receive distributions except as specifically provided herein. A Member shall have no
obligation to the Company, to any other Member or to any creditor of the Company to restore any negative balance in the Capital Account
of such Member. Except as expressly provided elsewhere herein, no interest shall be paid on the balance in any Member’s Capital
Account.

 

    25

     

    

 

(e)            Whenever
it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine a Member’s Capital Account on a per Unit basis, such amount shall be
determined by dividing the Capital Account of such Member attributable to the applicable class of Units held of record by such Member
by the number of Units of such class held of record by such Member, with appropriate adjustments if necessary to reflect the economic
differences between Units.

 

Section 5.03           Amounts
and Priority of Distributions.

 

(a)            Distributions
Generally. Except as otherwise provided in Article XI, distributions shall be made to the Members as set forth in this
Section 5.03, at such times and in such amounts as the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

(b)            Distributions
to the Members. Subject to Section 5.03(e) at such times and in such amounts as the Managing Member, in its sole
discretion, shall determine, distributions shall be made to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

 

(c)            PubCo
Distributions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.03(b), the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, may authorize
that (i) cash be paid to PubCo (which payment shall be made without pro rata distributions to the other Members) in exchange for
the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of Units held by PubCo to the extent that such cash payment is used to redeem, repurchase
or otherwise acquire an equal number of corresponding Equity Securities of PubCo in accordance with Article IV, and (ii) to
the extent that the Managing Member determines that expenses or other obligations of PubCo are related to its role as the Managing Member
or the business and affairs of PubCo that are conducted through the Company or any of the Company’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries,
cash (and, for the avoidance of doubt, only cash) distributions may be made to PubCo (which distributions shall be made without pro rata
distributions to the other Members) in amounts required for PubCo to pay (w) operating, administrative and other similar costs incurred
by PubCo, to the extent the proceeds are used or will be used by PubCo to pay expenses described in this clause (ii), and payments pursuant
to any legal, tax, accounting and other professional fees and expenses (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any tax liabilities
of PubCo and any amounts that PubCo is required to pay pursuant to the Tax Receivables Agreement), (x) any judgments, settlements,
penalties, fines or other costs and expenses in respect of any claims against, or any litigation or proceedings involving, PubCo, (y) fees
and expenses (including any underwriters’ discounts and commissions) related to any securities offering, investment or acquisition
transaction (whether or not successful) authorized by PubCo, as the Managing Member and (z) other fees and expenses in connection
with the maintenance of the existence of PubCo. For the avoidance of doubt, distributions made under this Section 5.03(c) may
not be used to pay or facilitate dividends or distributions on the common stock of PubCo and must be used solely for one of the express
purposes set forth under clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(d)            Distributions
in Kind. Any distributions in kind shall be made at such times and in such amounts as the Managing Member, in its sole discretion,
shall determine based on their Fair Market Value as determined by the Managing Member in the same proportions as if distributed in accordance
with Section 5.03(b). If cash and property are to be distributed in kind simultaneously, the Company shall distribute such
cash and property in kind in the same proportion to each Member.

 

    26

     

    

 

(e)            Tax
Distributions.

 

(i)             Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 5.03 to the contrary (but subject to Section 5.03(e)(ii)), to the extent
permitted by Law and consistent with the Company’s obligations to its creditors as determined by the Managing Member, to the extent
out of Available Cash, the Company shall make cash distributions pursuant to this Section 5.03(e)(i) to each Member
at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which any U.S. federal corporate estimated tax payments are due (or at such
other times as are necessary to permit the Members or their beneficial owners to discharge their U.S. federal, state and local estimated
tax payment responsibilities, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member), in an amount equal to such Member’s Tax Distribution
Amount (estimated on a quarterly basis by the Managing Member, taking into account estimated taxable income or loss of the Company through
the end of the relevant quarterly period). A final accounting for Tax Distributions shall be made after the allocation of the Company’s
actual net taxable income or loss has been determined for a fiscal year (or applicable portion thereof) and, unless otherwise determined
by the Managing Member, any shortfall in the amount of Tax Distributions a Member received for such fiscal year based on such final accounting
shall, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the Company’s obligations to its creditors as determined by the Managing
Member, be promptly distributed to such Member.

 

(ii)            To
the extent a Member otherwise would be entitled to receive less than its Percentage Interest of the aggregate Tax Distributions to be
paid pursuant to this Section 5.03(e) on any given date, then unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member and
such Member acting reasonably and in good faith, the Tax Distributions to such Member shall be increased to ensure that all such Tax
Distributions made pursuant to this Section 5.03(e) are made pro rata in accordance with the Members’ respective
Percentage Interests. If, on a Tax Distribution date, there are insufficient funds on hand to distribute to the Members the full amount
of the Tax Distributions to which such Members are otherwise entitled, Tax Distributions pursuant to this Section 5.03(e) shall
be made to the Members to the extent of available funds in accordance with the Tax Distributions that would have been paid to them had
no such limitation existed and the Company shall make future Tax Distributions (pro rata in accordance with the Tax Distributions that
would have been paid to the Members had no applicable limitation existed) promptly after funds become available sufficient to pay the
remaining portion of Tax Distributions to which such Members would have been entitled had sufficient funds been available. In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Tax Distribution that would be made to PubCo exceeds the PubCo Modified Distribution
Amount, the Managing Member may reduce the Tax Distribution payable to PubCo in an amount up to the amount of such excess (and, if there
are insufficient funds on hand to distribute to the Members other than PubCo the full amount of the Tax Distributions to which such other
Members are otherwise entitled, then the Managing Member shall, pursuant to this sentence, reduce the Tax Distribution payable to PubCo
in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such excess or (ii) the aggregate amount required to permit the other
Members to receive Tax Distributions equal to the amount they would have received under this Section 5.03(e) were sufficient
cash available to make full Tax Distributions under such provision, with the amount of any such reduction being paid as Tax Distributions
to the other Members pro rata in accordance with the Tax Distributions to which such other Members are otherwise entitled). For purposes
of this clause (ii), the “PubCo Modified Distribution Amount” shall mean the Tax Distribution Amount of PubCo, adjusted
as determined by the Managing Member to (w) reflect the marginal combined corporate income tax rates to which PubCo is subject,
(x) reflect any adjustments with respect to PubCo pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code, (y) include any amounts
that PubCo is required to pay pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement and (z) take into account other reductions or modifications
as determined by the Managing Member. Any distributions paid pursuant to Section 5.03(b) during a fiscal year shall,
to the extent of Tax Distributions otherwise required to be paid during such fiscal year, be treated as Tax Distributions paid during
such fiscal year.

 

    27

     

    

 

(iii)           Tax
Distributions with respect to income or gain allocations made for periods (or portions thereof) beginning on or after the Restatement
Date shall be treated as advances of amounts otherwise distributable to any Member pursuant to this Section 5.03 (other than
this Section 5.03(e)) or Section 11.02(b)(i), and accordingly shall be applied against and reduce (without duplication)
the next amounts that would otherwise be payable to such Member pursuant to such provisions (provided, that in no event will the
distributions payable to PubCo in respect of Units transferred to PubCo in connection with a Redemption or Direct Redemption be increased
or reduced (as compared to Common Units held by PubCo as of the date hereof) as a result of Tax Distributions made (or not made) in respect
of such Units prior to their transfer to PubCo in connection with the applicable Redemption or Direct Redemption).

 

Section 5.04           Allocations.

 

(a)            Net
Income and Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and after giving effect to the special allocations set forth
in Section 5.04(b), Section 5.04(c) and Section 5.04(d), Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the
extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in
a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to
(i) the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.03(b) if the Company were dissolved,
its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with
respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company
were distributed, in accordance with Section 5.03(b), to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such
Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical
sale of assets.

 

(b)            Special
Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

 

(i)            Minimum
Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision
of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially
allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such
Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).
Allocations pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated
to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6) and
1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.04(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

    28

     

    

 

(ii)            Member
Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member
Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such
Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated
items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s
share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.04(b)(ii) is intended to
comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.

 

(iii)           Qualified
Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company
income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by
the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as promptly as possible; provided, that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this
Section 5.04(b)(iii) were not in the Agreement.

 

(iv)          Nonrecourse
Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their relative
Percentage Interests.

 

(v)           Member
Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears
the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(1) and 1.704-2(j)(1).

 

    29

     

    

 

(vi)          Section 754
Adjustments. (A) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Sections 734(b) or
743(b) of the Code is required pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account
in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution other than in liquidation of a Member’s interest in the Company,
the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of such asset) or loss (if the
adjustment decreases the basis of such asset) from the disposition of the asset and shall be taken into account for purposes of computing
Net Income and Net Loss; and (B) to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Sections 734(b) or
743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4),
to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of such
Member’s interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the
adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially
allocated to such Members in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies,
or to the Member to whom such distribution was made in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

 

(c)            Curative
Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.04(b)(i) through Section 5.04(b)(iv) and Section 5.04(d) (the
 “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the
intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations
or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.04(c).
Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Member
shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate
so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to
the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items
were allocated pursuant to Section 5.04.

 

(d)            Loss
Limitation. Net Loss (or individual items of loss or deduction) allocated pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof shall not exceed
the maximum amount of Net Loss (or individual items of loss or deduction) that can be allocated without causing any Member to have an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital
Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Net Loss (or individual items of loss or deduction) pursuant to Section 5.04
hereof, the limitation set forth in this Section 5.04(d) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis and Net Loss
(or individual items of loss or deduction) not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other
Members in accordance with the positive balances in such Member’s Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net
Loss to each Member under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Any reallocation of Net Loss pursuant to this Section 5.04(d) shall
be subject to chargeback pursuant to the curative allocation provision of Section 5.04(c).

 

    30

     

    

 

Section 5.05           Other
Allocation Rules.

 

(a)            Interim
Allocations Due to Percentage Adjustment. If the Members’ interests in the Company change pursuant to the terms of the Agreement
during any Fiscal Year, the amount of Net Income and Net Loss (or items thereof) to be allocated to the Members for such entire Fiscal
Year shall be allocated to the portion of such Fiscal Year which precedes the date of such Transfer or change (and if there shall have
been a prior Transfer or change in such Fiscal Year, which commences on the date of such prior Transfer or change) and to the portion
of such Fiscal Year which occurs on and after the date of such Transfer or change (and if there shall be a subsequent Transfer or change
in such Fiscal Year, which precedes the date of such subsequent Transfer or change), and the amounts of the items so allocated to each
such portion shall be credited or charged to the Members in accordance with Section 5.04 as in effect during each such portion
of the Fiscal Year in question. Such allocation shall be in accordance with Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder and made without regard to the date, amount or receipt of any distributions that may have been made with respect to the transferred
interest to the extent consistent with Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and shall be made using
any method permitted by Section 706 of the Code and such regulations as determined by the Managing Member. As of the date of such
Transfer, the Transferee Member shall succeed to the Capital Account of the Transferor Member with respect to the transferred Units.

 

(b)            Tax
Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder,
income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Company and with respect to reverse
Code Section 704(c) allocations described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(6) shall, solely for tax purposes,
be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property to the Company for
federal income tax purposes and its initial Carrying Value or its Carrying Value determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (computed
in accordance with the definition of Carrying Value) using (unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member) the “traditional
method”; provided, that with respect to the “forward” layer for any such Property contributed by any Pre-IPO Member,
no method other than the “traditional method” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) shall be used
without the prior written consent of such Pre-IPO Member. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made
by the Managing Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this
Section 5.05(b), Section 704(c) of the Code (and the principles thereof), and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) are
solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s
Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.06           Tax
Withholding; Withholding Advances.

 

(a)            Tax
Withholding.

 

(i)             If
requested by the Managing Member, each Member shall, if able to do so, deliver to the Managing Member: (A) an affidavit in form
satisfactory to the Company that the applicable Member (or its partners, as the case may be) is not subject to withholding under the
provisions of any federal, state, local, foreign or other Law; (B) any certificate that the Company may reasonably request with
respect to any such Laws; and/or (C) any other form or instrument reasonably requested by the Company relating to any Member’s
status under such Law. In the event that a Member fails or is unable to deliver to the Company an affidavit described in subclause (A) of
this clause (i), for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may withhold amounts from such Member in accordance with Section 5.06(b).

 

    31

     

    

 

(ii)            After
receipt of a written request of any Member, the Company shall provide such information to such Member and take such other action as may
be reasonably requested and necessary to assist such Member in making any necessary filings, applications or elections to obtain any
available exemption from, or any available refund of, any withholding imposed by any taxing authority with respect to amounts distributable
or items of income allocable to such Member hereunder, in each case, to the extent not adverse to the Company or any Member. In addition,
the Company shall, at the request of any Member, make or cause to be made (or cause the Company to make) any such filings, applications
or elections; provided, that any such requesting Member shall cooperate with the Company, with respect to any such filing, application
or election to the extent reasonably determined by the Company and that any filing fees, taxes or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably
incurred and related thereto shall be paid and borne by such requesting Member or, if there is more than one requesting Member, by such
requesting Members in accordance with their Relative Percentage Interests.

 

(b)            Withholding
Advances. Subject to and without limitation of Section 5.06(c), to the extent PubCo or the Company is required by Law
to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member (e.g., in connection with the delivery of consideration
in connection with a Redemption, backup withholding, Section 1445 of the Code, Section 1446 of the Code or any “imputed
underpayment” within the meaning of the Code or, in each case, similar provisions of state, local or other tax Law) (“Withholding
Advances”), PubCo or the Company, as the case may be, may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required.
The Managing Member shall reasonably determine the portion of any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of the Code that
is attributable to each Member (including a former Member and such former Member’s assignee(s) or transferee(s)).

 

(c)            Repayment
of Withholding Advances. All Withholding Advances made on behalf of a Member, plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Prime
Rate as of the date of such Withholding Advances plus 2.0% per annum, shall (i) be paid on demand by the Member on whose behalf
such Withholding Advances were made (it being understood that no such payment shall increase such Member’s Capital Account), or
(ii) with the consent of the Managing Member be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or
distributions that would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so
reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. Whenever repayment of a Withholding Advance by a Member is made
as described in clause (ii) of this Section 5.06(c), for all other purposes of this Agreement such Member shall
be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or upon any Dissolution Event) unreduced by the amount of such Withholding
Advance and interest thereon.

 

(d)            Withholding
Advances — Reimbursement of Liabilities. Each Member hereby agrees to reimburse the Company for any liability with respect
to Withholding Advances (including interest thereon) required or made on behalf of or with respect to such Member (including penalties
imposed with respect thereto). The obligations of a Member with respect to the repayment and reimbursement of Withholding Advances will
survive the termination, liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the Company and will survive the partial or complete transfer or
redemption of a Member’s interests in the Company.

 

    32

     

    

 

Section 5.07           Tax
Proceedings.

 

(a)            In
representing the Company before any taxing authorities and courts in tax matters affecting the Company and the Members in their capacity
as such that the Managing Member determines are reasonably expected to be material to such Members, the Company Representative shall,
to the extent practicable and permitted under the circumstances, keep the Members promptly informed with respect to any such administrative
and judicial proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.07 shall prevent the Company (or any of its
Subsidiaries) from taking actions explicitly provided to be taken by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (including for this purpose
making an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (or analogous provisions of state or local Law)).

 

(b)            Without
limiting the foregoing, the Company Representative shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor Members of the commencement of any
material audit or proceeding of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to U.S. income taxes, to the extent that such income
taxes would “pass through” to the Sponsor Members for the applicable U.S. income tax purposes and are reasonably expected
to have a disproportionate and material adverse impact on the Sponsor Members (a “Specified Audit”). The Company Representative
shall (i) keep the Sponsor Members reasonably informed of the material developments and status of any such Specified Audit, (ii) permit
each Sponsor Member (or its designee) to participate (including using separate counsel), in each case at the Sponsor Members’ sole
cost and expense, in any such Specified Audit, and (iii) promptly notify each Sponsor Members of receipt of a notice of a final
partnership adjustment (or equivalent under applicable Laws) or a final decision of a court or IRS Appeals panel (or equivalent body
under applicable Laws) with respect to such Specified Audit. The Company Representative or the Company shall promptly provide the Sponsor
Members with copies of all material correspondence between the Company Representative or the Company (as applicable) and any Governmental
Authority in connection with such Specified Audit and shall give the Sponsor Members a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on
any material correspondence, submission (including settlement or compromise offers) or filing in connection with any such Specified Audit,
which the Company Representative shall consider in good faith. The Company Representative shall obtain the prior written consent of each
Sponsor Member (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before making an election under Section 6226(a) of
the Code (or any analogous provision of U.S. state or local tax Law) with respect to any period ending on or before the Restatement Date.

Representative.

 

(a)            The
Managing Member is specially authorized and appointed to act as the Company Representative and in any similar capacity under state or
local Law; provided, that the Managing Member may appoint and replace the Company Representative. The Company Representative
may also designate a “designated individual” in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 301.6223-1(b)(3)(i). The
Company and the Members (including any Member designated as the Company Representative prior to the date hereof) shall cooperate fully
with each other and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Managing Member (or any Person subsequently designated) to become
the Company Representative with respect to any taxable period of the Company with respect to which the statute of limitations has not
yet expired, including (as applicable) by filing certifications pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1(d).

 

(b)            The
Company Representative may retain, at the Company’s expense, such outside counsel, accountants and other professional consultants
as it may reasonably deem necessary in the course of fulfilling its obligations as the Company Representative. Subject to the other terms
of this Agreement, the Company Representative is authorized to take such actions and execute and file all statements and forms on behalf
of the Company that are approved by the Managing Member and are permitted or required by the applicable provisions of the Partnership
Tax Audit Rules. Each Member agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company Representative and to use commercially reasonable efforts
to do or refrain from doing any or all things requested by the Company Representative (including paying any and all resulting taxes,
additions to tax, penalties and interest in a timely fashion) in connection with any examination of the Company’s affairs by any
federal, state, or local tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings.

 

Section 6.02           Tax
Elections. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Managing Member and the Company Representative shall be entitled
to cause the Company to make (or not make) any tax elections under applicable law; provided, that the Company shall make and
maintain in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year that includes the Restatement Date and for
subsequent years.

business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be managed, operated and controlled exclusively by the Managing Member
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and no other Members shall have management authority or rights over the Company or its
Subsidiaries. The Managing Member is, to the extent of its rights and powers set forth in this Agreement, an agent of the Company for
the purpose of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, and the actions of the Managing Member taken in accordance with
such rights and powers, shall bind the Company (and no other Members shall have such right). Except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
the Managing Member shall have all necessary powers to carry out the purposes, business, and objectives of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
The Managing Member may delegate to Members, employees, officers or agents of the Company or any Subsidiary in its discretion the authority
to sign agreements and other documents on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Managing Member shall have the exclusive power
and authority, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries to take such actions not inconsistent with this Agreement as the Managing
Member deems necessary or appropriate to carry on the business and purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

    34

     

    

 

Section 7.02           Withdrawal
of the Managing Member. PubCo may withdraw as the Managing Member and appoint as its successor at any time upon written notice to
the Company (i) any wholly-owned Subsidiary of PubCo, (ii) any Person into which PubCo is merged or consolidated or (iii) any
transferee of all or substantially all of the assets of PubCo, which withdrawal and replacement shall be effective upon the delivery
of such notice. No appointment of a Person as Managing Member shall be effective unless PubCo and the new Managing Member provide all
other Members with contractual rights, directly enforceable by such other Members against the new Managing Member, to cause the new Managing
Member to comply with all the Managing Member’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 7.03           Decisions
by the Members.

 

(a)            Other
than the Managing Member, the Members shall take no part in the management of the Company’s business, shall transact no business
for the Company and shall have no power to act for or to bind the Company; provided, however, that the Company may engage
any Member or principal, partner, member, shareholder or interest holder thereof as an employee, independent contractor or consultant
to the Company, in which event the duties and liabilities of such Person with respect to the Company as an employee, independent contractor
or consultant, as applicable, shall be governed by the terms of such engagement with the Company.

 

(b)            Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein in the Stockholders Agreement, no Member shall have the power or authority to vote, approve or
consent to any matter or action taken by the Company (or by PubCo, as Managing Member).

 

Section 7.04           Fiduciary
Duties.

 

(a)            This
Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any duty (including any fiduciary duty) on any of the Members (including
without limitation, the Managing Member) hereto or on their respective Affiliates. Further, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, the parties hereto agree that no Member or Managing Member shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, have duties (including fiduciary duties) to any other Member or to the Company, and in doing so, recognize,
acknowledge and agree that their duties and obligations to one another and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement;
provided, however, that each Member shall have the duty to act in accordance with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and
fair dealing.

 

(b)            To
the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member (including without limitation, the Managing Member) has duties (including fiduciary
duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, to another Member or to another Person who is a party to or is otherwise bound
by this Agreement, the Members (including without limitation, the Managing Member) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to
the Company, to any such other Member or to any such other Person who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, for their
good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate
the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Member (including without limitation, the Managing Member) otherwise existing at law
or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Members relating thereto (including
without limitation, the Managing Member).

 

    35

     

    

 

(c)            The
Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors selected by it, and any act or omission taken
by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon and
in accordance with the advice of such Person as to matters the Managing Member reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional
or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion or
advice, and the Managing Member will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial
or other advisors were selected with reasonable care.

 

(d)            Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement the Managing Member
is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant
of similar authority or latitude, such Managing Member shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including
its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration
to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the Members, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed
standard, such Managing Member shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

 

Section 7.05           Officers.

 

(a)            Appointment
of Officers. The Managing Member may appoint individuals as officers (“Officers”) of the Company, which may include
such officers as the Managing Member determines are necessary or appropriate. No Officer need be a Member. An individual may be appointed
to more than one office.

 

(b)            Authority
of Officers. The Officers shall have the duties, rights, powers and authority as may be prescribed by the Managing Member from time
to time.

 

(c)            Removal,
Resignation and Filling of Vacancy of Officers. Unless otherwise set forth in the employment agreement of the applicable Officer,
the Managing Member may remove any Officer, for any reason or for no reason, at any time. Any Officer may resign at any time by giving
written notice to the Company, and such resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or any later time specified
in that notice; provided, that, unless otherwise specified in that notice, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to
make it effective. Any such resignation shall be without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Company or such Officer under this Agreement.
A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, removal or otherwise shall be filled by the Managing Member.

TRANSFERS
OF INTERESTS

 

Section 8.01         Restrictions
on Transfers.

 

(a)           Except
as expressly permitted by Section 8.02, and subject to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(c) and
Section 8.01(d) and/or any other agreement between such Member and the Company, PubCo or any of their respective controlled
Affiliates, without the prior written approval of the Managing Member, no Member shall directly or indirectly Transfer all or any part
of its Units or any right or economic interest pertaining thereto, including the right to vote or consent on any matter or to receive
or have any economic interest in distributions or advances from the Company pursuant thereto. Any such Transfer which is not in compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed a Transfer by such Member of Units in violation of this Agreement (and a breach
of this Agreement by such Member) and shall be null and void ab initio.

 

(b)           Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, it shall be a condition precedent to any Transfer otherwise permitted or approved pursuant to
this Article VIII that:

 

(i)              the
Transferor shall have provided to the Company prior notice of such Transfer;

 

(ii)             the
Transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement by signing and delivering to the Company a joinder substantially in a
form acceptable to the Company;

 

(iii)            the
Transfer shall comply with all applicable Laws;

 

(iv)            to
the knowledge of the Transferee and Transferor after reasonable inquiry of the Company, the Transfer shall not impose material liability
or material reporting obligations on the Company or any Member thereof in any jurisdiction, whether domestic or foreign, or result in
the Company or any Member thereof becoming subject to the jurisdiction of any Governmental Authority anywhere, other than the Governmental
Authorities in which the Company is then subject to such liability, reporting obligation or jurisdiction; and

 

(v)            such
Transfer shall comply with Article IX (to the extent Article IX governs such Transfer of Units).

 

(c)            Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Member shall Transfer all or any part of its Units or any right or economic
interest pertaining thereto if such Transfer, in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member, would cause the Company to (i) be
classified as a “publicly traded partnership” as that term is defined in Section 7704 of the Code and Regulations promulgated
thereunder or (ii) fail to qualify for the safe harbor contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h) or for other
safe harbor treatment under Section 7704 of the Code on which the Company intends to rely (as determined by the Managing Member).

 

    37 

     

    

 

(d)           Any
Transfer of Units pursuant to this Agreement, including this Article VIII, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01
and Section 3.02.

 

Section 8.02          Certain
Permitted Transfers. Subject to compliance with Sections 8.01(b) through (d), following the Restatement Date (unless
such time restriction is waived by the Managing Member in its sole discretion with respect to any proposed Transfer(s)), the following
Transfers shall be permitted:

 

(a)           any
Transfer pursuant to the terms of Article IX;

 

(b)          any
Transfer contemplated by Section 9.06 in connection with a PubCo Approved Change of Control or PubCo Approved Recap Transaction;

 

(c)           in
the case of the AES Member or the Siemens Member, any Transfer of all (but not less than all) of its respective Units to any Person other
than a Restricted Person; and

 

(d)           any
Transfer to an Affiliate of the applicable Member.

 

Section 8.03          Registration
of Transfers. When any Units are validly Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall cause such
Transfer to be registered on the books of the Company.

 

Section 8.04          Restricted
Units Legend. The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on
Transfer contained in this Agreement, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is then available. To the extent such Units have been certificated, each certificate evidencing Units and each certificate
issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Units (if such securities remain Units as defined herein after such Transfer) shall
be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
WERE ISSUED ON _________ _____________, 2021, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”),
AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SPECIFIED IN THE THIRD
AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF FLUENCE ENERGY, LLC, AS MAY BE AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME,
AND FLUENCE ENERGY, LLC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT
TO ANY TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY FLUENCE ENERGY, LLC TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT
CHARGE.”

 

The Company shall imprint such
legend on certificates (if any) evidencing Units. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates (if any) evidencing
any units which cease to be Units in accordance with the definition thereof.

Article IX.

 

REDEMPTION
AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS

 

Section 9.01         Redemption
Right of a Member.

 

(a)           Each
Member (other than PubCo) shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem (a “Redemption”) its Common Units (excluding
any Common Units that are subject to vesting conditions or subject to Transfer limitations pursuant to this Agreement) in whole or in
part (the “Redemption Right”) at any time and from time to time. A Member desiring to exercise its Redemption Right
(a “Redeeming Member”) shall exercise such right by giving written notice (the “Redemption Notice”)
to the Company, with a copy to PubCo. The Redemption Notice shall specify the number of Common Units (the “Redeemed Units”)
that the Redeeming Member intends to have the Company redeem and a date, not less than two (2) Business Days nor more than ten (10) Business
Days after delivery of such Redemption Notice (unless and to the extent that the Managing Member in its sole discretion agrees in writing
to waive such time periods), on which exercise of the Redemption Right shall be completed (the “Redemption Date”);
provided, that the Redemption Notice may specify that the Redemption is to be contingent (including as to the timing) upon the
consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an underwritten offering or otherwise) of the Share
Settlement into which the Redeemed Units are exchangeable, or contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of an announced merger,
consolidation or other transaction or event in which the Share Settlement would be exchanged or converted or become exchangeable for
or convertible into cash or other securities or property; provided, further that the Redeeming Member may withdraw or amend a
Redemption Notice, in whole or in part, prior to the effectiveness of the Redemption, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City
time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (or any such later time as may be required by Law) by delivery of
a written notice of withdrawal to the Company (with a copy to PubCo), specifying (1) the number of withdrawn Units, (2) if
any, the number of Units as to which the Redemption Notice remains in effect and (3) if the Redeeming Member so determines, a new
Redemption Date or any other new or revised information permitted in the Redemption Notice. Following receipt of the Redemption Notice,
and in any event at least one (1) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, PubCo shall deliver to the Redeeming Member a notice,
specifying whether it elects (which shall be determined solely by the independent directors of PubCo (within the meaning of the rules of
the Nasdaq Stock Market) who are disinterested) to settle the Redemption with a Share Settlement or a Cash Settlement (an “Election
Notice”). If the Election Notice specifies a Cash Settlement, then on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior
to the close of business on the Redemption Date):

 

(i)              PubCo
shall contribute the proceeds of the Cash Settlement to the Company in exchange for a number of Common Units equal to the number of Redeemed
Units (and for the avoidance of doubt, PubCo shall be permitted to elect a Cash Settlement only if such Cash Settlement is fully paid
with cash proceeds from the issuance and sale by PubCo of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Redeemed
Units to be redeemed with such Cash Settlement, which amount is contributed to the Company by PubCo substantially contemporaneously with
the payment of such Cash Settlement); provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) PubCo shall
be obligated to contribute to the Company only an amount in respect of such Cash Settlement equal to the net proceeds (after deduction
of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions and brokers’ fees or commissions) from such issuance and sale by PubCo of such
shares of Class A Common Stock and (y) PubCo’s Capital Account shall be increased by an amount that includes any such
underwriters’ discounts or commissions and brokers’ fees or commissions relating to such issuance and sale of shares of Class A
Common Stock by PubCo;

 

    39 

     

    

 

(ii)             the
Redeeming Member shall Transfer and surrender, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (x) the Redeemed Units to the Company,
and (y) an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock to PubCo;

 

(iii)            the
Company shall (x) cancel the Redeemed Units, (y) pay to the Redeeming Member the applicable Cash Settlement, and (z) if
the Units are certificated, issue to the Redeeming Member a certificate for a number of Common Units equal to the difference (if any)
between the number of Common Units evidenced by the certificate surrendered by the Redeeming Member pursuant to clause (i) of this
Section 9.01(a) and the Redeemed Units; and

 

(iv)           PubCo
shall cancel and retire for no consideration the shares of Class B Common Stock that were Transferred to PubCo pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(ii)(y) above.

 

(b)            If
the Election Notice specifies a Share Settlement, a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to revoke
its Redemption Notice or delay the consummation of a Redemption if any of the following conditions exists:

 

(i)              any
registration statement pursuant to which the resale of the Class A Common Stock to be registered for such Redeeming Member at or
immediately following the consummation of the Redemption shall have ceased to be effective pursuant to any action or inaction by the
SEC or no such resale registration statement has yet become effective;

 

(ii)             PubCo
shall have failed to cause any related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement necessary to effect such Redemption;

 

(iii)            PubCo
shall have exercised its right to defer, delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement and such deferral,
delay or suspension shall affect the ability of such Redeeming Member to have its Class A Common Stock registered at or immediately
following the consummation of the Redemption;

 

(iv)            PubCo
shall have disclosed in good faith to such Redeeming Member any material non-public information concerning PubCo, the receipt of which
results in such Redeeming Member being prohibited or restricted from selling Class A Common Stock at or immediately following the
Redemption without disclosure of such information (and PubCo does not permit such disclosure);

 

(v)             any
stop order relating to the registration statement pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock was to be registered by such Redeeming
Member at or immediately following the Redemption shall have been issued by the SEC;

 

    40 

     

    

 

(vi)            there
shall have occurred a material disruption in the securities markets generally or in the market or markets in which the Class A Common
Stock is then traded;

 

(vii)           there
shall be in effect an injunction, a restraining order or a decree of any nature of any Governmental Authority that restrains or prohibits
the Redemption; or

 

(viii)          PubCo
shall have failed to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, and such failure shall
have affected the ability of such Redeeming Member to consummate the resale of Class A Common Stock to be received upon such Redemption
pursuant to an effective registration statement; or

 

(ix)            the
Redemption Date would occur three (3) Business Days or less prior to, or during, a Black-Out Period.

 

(c)            If
the Election Notice specifies a Share Settlement, unless the Redeeming Member has revoked the applicable Redemption as provided in Section 9.01(b),
PubCo shall settle such Redemption on the Redemption Date by Transferring the Share Settlement directly to the Redeeming Member in exchange
for the Redeemed Units (a “Direct Redemption”). In connection with a Direct Redemption, on the Redemption Date (to
be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date), (1) the Redeeming Member shall Transfer and surrender,
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances the Redeemed Units and an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock to PubCo;
(2) PubCo shall Transfer to the Redeeming Member (or other Person(s) whose name or names in which the Share Settlement is to
be issued) the Share Settlement; (3) PubCo shall cancel and retire for no consideration such shares of Class B Common Stock
and (4) the Company shall register PubCo as the owner of the Redeemed Units and, if the Redeemed Units are certificated, shall issue
to the Redeeming Member a certificate for a number of Common Units equal to the difference (if any) between the number of Common Units
evidenced by the certificate surrendered by the Redeeming Member pursuant to clause (1) of this Section 9.01(c) and
the Redeemed Units. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Company, and the Redeeming Member shall take all actions reasonably
requested by PubCo to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 9.01(c), including executing and delivering any
document reasonably requested by PubCo in connection therewith.

 

(d)           The
number of shares of Class A Common Stock applicable to any Share Settlement or Cash Settlement shall not be adjusted on account
of dividends previously paid with respect to Class A Common Stock or cash or cash equivalents held by PubCo or on account of Tax
Distributions previously paid by the Company in respect of the Redeemed Units; provided, however, that if a Redeeming
Member causes the Company to redeem Redeemed Units and the Redemption Date occurs subsequent to the record date for any distribution
with respect to the Redeemed Units but prior to payment of such distribution, the Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive such
distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units on the date that it is made notwithstanding that the Redeeming Member Transferred and
surrendered the Redeemed Units to the Company prior to such date; provided, further, however, that a Redeeming Member
shall be entitled to receive any and all Tax Distributions that such Redeeming Member otherwise would have received in respect of income
allocated to such Member for the portion of any Fiscal Year irrespective of whether such Tax Distribution(s) are declared or made
after the Redemption Date.

 

    41 

     

    

 

(e)            In
the case of a Share Settlement, in the event a reclassification or other similar transaction occurs following delivery of a Redemption
Notice, but prior to the Redemption Date, as a result of which shares of Class A Common Stock are converted into another security,
then a Redeeming Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such other security that the Redeeming Member would have received
if such Redemption Right had been exercised and the Redemption Date had occurred immediately prior to the record date of such reclassification
or other similar transaction.

 

Section 9.02          Reservation
of Shares of Class A Common Stock; Listing; Certificate of PubCo, etc.

 

(a)            At
all times PubCo shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of issuance upon a Share Settlement in a Redemption such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be issuable upon any
such Redemption; provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude PubCo from satisfying its obligations in respect
of any such Redemption by delivery of purchased Class A Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of PubCo). PubCo
shall deliver Class A Common Stock that has been registered under the Securities Act with respect to any Redemption in which a Share
Settlement is made, to the extent a registration statement is effective and available for such shares. PubCo shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to list the Class A Common Stock required to be delivered upon any such Redemption prior to such delivery upon
each national securities exchange upon which the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are listed at the time of such Redemption
(it being understood that any such shares may be subject to transfer restrictions under applicable securities Laws). PubCo covenants
that all Class A Common Stock issued upon a Redemption in which a Share Settlement is made will, upon issuance, be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. The provisions of this Article IX shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent
with any corresponding provisions of PubCo’s certificate of incorporation (if any).

 

(b)            Subject
to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, PubCo covenants and agrees to deliver shares of the Share Settlement, if requested,
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any Redemption to the extent that a registration
statement is effective and available for such shares. In the event that any Redemption in accordance with this Agreement is to be effected
at a time when any required registration has not become effective or otherwise is unavailable, upon the request and with the reasonable
cooperation of the Redeeming Member requesting such Redemption, PubCo and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly facilitate
such Redemption pursuant to an available exemption from such registration requirements.

 

(c)            PubCo
agrees that it has taken all or will take such steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or
(e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and to be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions
from, or dispositions to, PubCo of equity securities of PubCo (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities
that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of PubCo for such purposes that result from the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, by each officer or director of PubCo. The authorizing resolutions shall be approved by the PubCo Board.

 

    42 

     

    

 

Section 9.03          Effect
of Exercise of Redemption. This Agreement shall continue notwithstanding the consummation of a Redemption and all other rights set
forth herein shall be exercised by the remaining Members and the Redeeming Member (to the extent of such Redeeming Member’s remaining
interest in the Company). No Redemption shall relieve such Redeeming Member of any prior breach of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.04          Tax
Treatment. Unless otherwise required by Law, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Redemption (whether effected with
a Cash Settlement or a Share Settlement) shall be treated as a direct exchange between PubCo and the Redeeming Member for U.S. federal
and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

 

Section 9.05          Other
Redemption Matters.

 

(a)            Each
Redemption shall be deemed to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, and, in the case of a Share
Settlement, the Redeeming Member (or other Person(s) whose name or names in which the Share Settlement is to be issued) shall be
deemed to be a holder of the Equity Securities issued in such Share Settlement, from and after that time, until such Equity Securities
have been disposed of. As promptly as practicable on or after the Redemption Date, PubCo shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Redeeming Member (or other Person(s) whose name or names in which the Share Settlement is to be issued) the number of the Share
Settlement deliverable upon such Redemption, registered in the name of such Redeeming Member (or other Person(s) whose name or names
in which the Share Settlement is to be issued). To the extent the Share Settlement is settled through the facilities of The Depository
Trust Company, PubCo will, upon the written instruction of a Redeeming Member, deliver or cause to be delivered the shares of the Share
Settlement deliverable to such Redeeming Member (or other Person(s) whose name or names in which the Share Settlement is to be issued),
through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated
by such Redeeming Member.

 

(b)           The
shares of Share Settlement issued upon a Redemption shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES HAS NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD OR TRANSFERRED OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (OR OTHER APPLICABLE
LAW), OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

 

(c)           If
(i) any shares of the Share Settlement may be sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 are met, or (iii) the legend (or
a portion thereof) otherwise ceases to be applicable, PubCo, upon the written request of the Redeeming Member thereof shall promptly
provide such Redeeming Member or its respective transferees, without any expense to such Persons (other than applicable transfer taxes
and similar governmental charges, if any) with new certificates (or evidence of book-entry share) for securities of like tenor not bearing
the provisions of the legend with respect to which the restriction has terminated. In connection therewith, such Redeeming Member shall
provide PubCo with such information in its possession as PubCo may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any such legend.

 

    43 

     

    

 

(d)           PubCo
shall bear all of its own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Redemption, whether or not any such Redemption is ultimately
consummated, including any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of,
any Redemption; provided, however, that if any of the Share Settlement is to be delivered in a name other than that of the Redeeming
Member that requested the Redemption (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository
Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such Redeeming Member), then such Redeeming Member and/or the Person in whose
name such shares are to be delivered shall pay to PubCo the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes
in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Redemption or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of PubCo that such tax
has been paid or is not payable. The Redeeming Member shall bear all of its own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Redemption
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, expenses incurred by such Redeeming Member in connection with any Redemption that are invoiced
to the Company).

 

Section 9.06          PubCo
Change of Control; PubCo Approved Recap Transaction.

 

(a)            In
connection with a PubCo Approved Change of Control, PubCo shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require each Member (other
than the AES Member or the Siemens Member, in each case, to the extent the Percentage Interest of such Member at the time in question
is at least fifteen percent (15%)) to effect a Redemption of all or a portion of such Member’s and all other Members’ Units
together with an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock, pursuant to which such Units and such shares of Class B Common
Stock will be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock (or economically equivalent cash and securities of a successor entity
that would be received by holders of shares of Class A Common Stock), mutatis mutandis, in accordance with the Redemption
provisions of this Article IX (applied for this purpose as if PubCo had delivered an Election Notice that specified a Share
Settlement with respect to such exchanges) and otherwise in accordance with this Section 9.06. Any such exchange pursuant
to this Section 9.06(a) shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of the PubCo Approved Change of Control
(and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be effective if such PubCo Approved Change of Control is not consummated) (the date of such
exchange, the “Change of Control Exchange Date”). From and after the Change of Control Exchange Date, (i) the
Units and any shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such exchange shall be deemed to be transferred to PubCo on the Change of
Control Exchange Date and (ii) each such Member shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Units and any shares of Class B
Common Stock subject to such exchange (other than the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or economically equivalent
cash or equity securities in a successor entity) pursuant to such exchange, and without limiting any rights in respect of the Tax Receivable
Agreement). PubCo shall provide written notice of an expected PubCo Approved Change of Control to all Members within the earlier of (x) five
(5) Business Days following the execution of an agreement with respect to such PubCo Approved Change of Control and (y) ten
(10) Business Days before the proposed date upon which the contemplated PubCo Approved Change of Control is to be effected, including
in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the PubCo Approved Change of Control transaction, subject to Law, including
the date of execution of such agreement or such proposed effective date, as applicable, the amount and types of consideration to be paid
for shares of Class A Common Stock in the PubCo Approved Change of Control, any election with respect to types of consideration
that a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in connection with such PubCo Approved
Change of Control (which election shall be available to each Member on the same terms as holders of shares of Class A Common Stock).
Following delivery of such notice and on or prior to the Change of Control Exchange Date, the participating Members shall take all actions
reasonably requested by PubCo to effect such exchange, including taking any action and delivering any document required pursuant to this
Section 9.06 to effect such exchange. In the case of any PubCo Approved Change of Control that was initially proposed by
PubCo, PubCo shall use reasonable best efforts to enable and permit the Members to participate in such transaction to the same extent
or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, and to enable such Members to participate
in such transaction without being required to exchange Units or shares of Class B Common Stock in connection therewith.

 

    44 

     

    

 

(b)            In
the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect
to all or any portion of shares of PubCo’s issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock is proposed by PubCo or PubCo’s
stockholders and approved by the PubCo Board, or is otherwise consented to or approved by the PubCo board of directors (a “PubCo
Approved Recap Transaction”), PubCo shall provide written notice of the PubCo Approved Recap Transaction to all Members within
the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days following the execution of an agreement (if applicable) with respect to, or the commencement
of (if applicable), such PubCo Approved Recap Transaction and (ii) ten (10) Business Days before the proposed date upon which
the PubCo Approved Recap Transaction is to be effected, including in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the PubCo
Approved Recap Transaction, subject to Law, including the date of execution of such agreement (if applicable) or of such commencement
(if applicable), the material terms of such PubCo Approved Recap Transaction, including the amount and types of consideration to be received
by holders of shares of Class A Common Stock in the PubCo Approved Recap Transaction, any election with respect to types of consideration
that a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in connection with such PubCo Approved
Recap Transaction, and the number of Units (and the corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock) held by such Member that is applicable
to such PubCo Approved Recap Transaction. The Members (other than PubCo) shall be permitted to participate in such offer by delivering
a written notice of participation that is effective immediately prior to the consummation of such offer (and that is contingent upon
consummation of such offer), and shall include such information necessary for consummation of such offer as requested by PubCo. In the
case of any PubCo Approved Recap Transaction that was initially proposed by PubCo, PubCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to enable
and permit the Members to participate in such transaction to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of
shares of Class A Common Stock, and to enable such Members to participate in such transaction without being required to exchange
Units or shares of Class B Common Stock in connection therewith.

Article X.

 

LIMITATION
ON LIABILITY, EXCULPATION

AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 10.01        Limitation
on Liability. The debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely
the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation
or liability of the Company; provided, that the foregoing shall not alter a Member’s obligation to return funds wrongfully
distributed to it.

 

Section 10.02        Exculpation
and Indemnification.

 

(a)            Subject
to the duties of the Managing Member and the Officers set forth in Section 7.04 and any employment agreement and/or restrictive
covenants agreement with the Company as in effect from time to time (collectively, the “Specified Covenants”), neither
the Managing Member nor any other Covered Person shall be liable, including under any legal or equitable theory of fiduciary duty or
other theory of liability, to the Company or to any other Covered Person for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred by reason
of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company. There shall be, and each Covered
Person shall be entitled to, a presumption that such Covered Person acted in good faith.

 

(b)            A
Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions,
reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such Person’s
professional or expert competence.

 

(c)            (i) The
Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Covered Person against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including
all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands,
actions, suits or proceedings, in which such Covered Person may be involved or become subject to, in connection with any matter
arising out of or in connection with the Company’s business or affairs, or this Agreement or any related document, unless such
loss, claim, damage, liability, expense, judgment, fine, settlement or other amount is as a result of a Covered Person not acting in
good faith on behalf of the Company or arose as a result of the willful commission by such Covered Person of any act that is dishonest
and materially injurious to the Company or (ii) results from its contractual obligations under any Transaction Document to be performed
in a capacity other than as a Covered Person or results from a breach by such Covered Person of a Specified Covenant. If any Covered
Person becomes involved in any capacity in any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter arising out of
or in connection with the Company’s business or affairs, or this Agreement or any related document (other than any Transaction
Document), other than (x) by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person that was not in good faith
on behalf of the Company or constituted a willful commission by such Covered Person of an act that is dishonest and materially injurious
to the Company, or (y) as a result of any breach by such Covered Person of a Specified Covenant, the Company shall reimburse such
Covered Person for its reasonable legal and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation)
as they are incurred in connection therewith; provided, that such Covered Person shall promptly repay to the Company the amount
of any such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it shall be finally judicially determined that such Covered Person was not entitled to
indemnification by, or contribution from, the Company in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation. If for any reason
(other than the bad faith of a Covered Person or the willful commission by such Covered Person of an act that is dishonest and materially
injurious to the Company) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to such Covered Person, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then
the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Covered Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability,
expense, judgment, fine, settlement or other amount in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect any relevant equitable considerations.
There shall be, and each Covered Person shall be entitled to, a rebuttable presumption that such Covered Person acted in good faith.

 

    46 

     

    

 

(i)              The
obligations of the Company under this Section 10.02(c) shall be satisfied solely out of and to the extent of the Company’s
assets, and no Covered Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

 

(ii)             Given
that certain Jointly Indemnifiable Claims may arise by reason of the service of a Covered Person to the Company and/or as a director,
trustee, officer, partner, member, manager, employee, consultant, fiduciary or agent of other corporations, limited liability companies,
partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, employee benefit plans or other enterprises controlled by the Company (collectively, the “Controlled
Entities”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in any such capacity, the Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Controlled Entities to, be fully and primarily responsible
for the payment to the Covered Person in respect of indemnification or advancement of all out-of-pocket costs of any type or nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements) in each case, actually and reasonably incurred by
or on behalf of a Covered Person in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding
or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise incurred in connection with a claim that is
indemnifiable hereunder (collectively, “Expenses”) in connection with any such Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant
to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (A) the Delaware Act, (B) this Agreement, (C) any other agreement
between the Company or any Controlled Entity and the Covered Person pursuant to which the Covered Person is indemnified, (D) the
Laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Controlled Entity and/or (E) the certificate of incorporation,
certificate of organization, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership,
certificate of qualification or other organizational or governing documents of any Controlled Entity ((A) through (E) collectively,
the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery the Covered Person may have from the Indemnitee-Related
Entities. Under no circumstance shall the Company or any Controlled Entity be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by
the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement or recovery the Covered Person may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities
shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Covered Person or the obligations of the Company or any Controlled Entity under the
Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to the Covered Person in respect
of indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (x) the Company shall, and to the
extent applicable shall cause the Controlled Entities to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of
such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Entity, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed
by the Company and/or any Controlled Entity pursuant to clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated
to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Covered Person against the Company and/or
any Controlled Entity, as applicable, and (z) the Covered Person shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things
that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related
Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. The Company and the Covered Person agree that each of the Indemnitee-Related
Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 10.02(c), entitled to enforce this Section 10.02(c) as
though each such Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Agreement. The Company shall cause each of the Controlled Entities to
perform the terms and obligations of this Section 10.02(c) as though each such Controlled Entity was the “Company”
under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 10.02(c), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

 (A)            The
term “Indemnitee-Related Entities” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Company, any Controlled Entity or the insurer under and pursuant to an insurance
policy of the Company or any Controlled Entity) from whom a Covered Person may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses
with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Company or any Controlled Entity may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.

 

    47 

     

    

 

 (B)            The
term “Jointly Indemnifiable Claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any claim, demand,
action, suit or proceeding for which the Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses from both (i) the
Company and/or any Controlled Entity pursuant to the Indemnification Sources, on the one hand, and (ii) any Indemnitee-Related Entity
pursuant to any other agreement between any Indemnitee-Related Entity and the Covered Person pursuant to which the Covered Person is
indemnified, the Laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Indemnitee-Related Entity and/or the certificate of
incorporation, certificate of organization, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate
of limited partnership or other organizational or governing documents of any Indemnitee-Related Entity, on the other hand.

 

Article XI.

 

DISSOLUTION
AND TERMINATION

 

Section 11.01         Dissolution.

 

(a)            The
Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substitute Members pursuant to Section 3.02.

 

    48 

     

    

 

(b)            No
Member shall (i) resign from the Company prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company except in connection with a Transfer
of Units pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) take any action to dissolve, terminate or liquidate
the Company or to require apportionment, appraisal or partition of the Company or any of its assets, or to file a bill for an accounting,
except as specifically provided in this Agreement, and each Member, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, hereby waives any rights
to take any such actions under Law, including any right to petition a court for judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the
Delaware Act.

 

(c)           The
Company shall be dissolved and its business wound up only upon the earliest to occur of any one of the following events (each a “Dissolution
Event”):

 

(i)              the
expiration of forty-five (45) days after the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company;

 

(ii)             the
decision of the Managing Member, together with any written approval of the AES Member and the Siemens Member required pursuant to the
Stockholders Agreement, to dissolve the Company; or

 

(iii)            the
entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act, in contravention of this Agreement.

 

Except as otherwise set forth
in this Article XI, the Company is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not in and of itself
cause a dissolution of the Company and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The Members hereby agree that the Company shall not dissolve prior to the occurrence of a Dissolution Event and that no Member shall
seek a dissolution of the Company, under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act or otherwise, other than based on the matters set forth
in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Company has dissolved
prior to the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Members hereby agree to continue the business of the Company without a Liquidation.

 

(d)           The
death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Member or the occurrence of any other event that
terminates the continued membership of a Member of the Company shall not in and of itself cause dissolution of the Company.

 

Section 11.02        Winding
Up of the Company.

 

(a)           The
Managing Member shall promptly notify the other Members of any Dissolution Event. Upon dissolution, the Company’s business shall
be liquidated in an orderly manner. The Managing Member shall appoint a liquidating trustee to wind up the affairs of the Company pursuant
to this Agreement. In performing its duties, the liquidating trustee is authorized to sell, distribute, exchange or otherwise dispose
of the assets of the Company in accordance with the Delaware Act and in any reasonable manner that the liquidating trustee shall determine
to be in the best interest of the Members.

 

    49 

     

    

 

(b)           The
proceeds of the liquidation of the Company shall be distributed in the following order and priority:

 

(i)            first,
to the creditors (including any Members or their respective Affiliates that are creditors) of the Company in satisfaction of all of the
Company’s liabilities (whether by payment or by making reasonable provision for payment thereof, including the setting up of any
reserves which are, in the judgment of the liquidating trustee, reasonably necessary therefor); and

 

(ii)            second,
to the Members in the same manner as distributions under Section 5.03(b).

 

(a)           Distribution
of Property. In the event it becomes necessary
in connection with the Liquidation to make a distribution of Property in-kind, subject to the priority set forth in Section 11.02(b),
the liquidating trustee shall have the right to compel each Member, treating each such Member in a substantially similar manner, to accept
a distribution of any Property in-kind (with such Property, as a percentage of the total liquidating distributions to such Member), corresponding
as nearly as possible to the distributions such Member would receive under Section 11.02(b) with such distribution being
based upon the amount of cash that would be distributed to such Members if such Property were sold for an amount of cash equal to the
fair market value of such Property, as determined by the liquidating trustee in good faith.

 

Section 11.03        Termination.
The Company shall terminate when all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or reasonable provision for the payment of all debts
and liabilities of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for in this Article XI,
and the Certificate shall have been cancelled in the manner required by the Delaware Act.

 

Section 11.04        Survival.
Termination, dissolution or Liquidation of the Company for any reason shall not release any party from any liability which at the time
of such termination, dissolution or Liquidation already had accrued to any other party or which thereafter may accrue in respect
to any act or omission prior to such termination, dissolution or Liquidation.

 

Article XII.

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures

    52 

     

    

 

Section 12.10         Amendment.

 

(a)            This
Agreement can be amended at any time and from time to time by the written consent of the Managing Member; provided, however, that any
proposed amendment that adversely modifies in any material respect the Common Units (or the rights, preferences or privileges of the
Common Units) then held by any Members in any materially disproportionate manner to those then held by any other Members will require
the prior written consent of a majority in interest of such disproportionately affected Member or Members; provided further, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amendment, including any amendment effected by way of merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all
the assets of the Company, may adversely affect the rights in any material respect of (i) the AES Member without the consent of
the AES Member or (ii) the Siemens Member without the consent of the Siemens Member. For the avoidance of doubt, the Managing Member,
acting alone, may amend this Agreement, including the Schedule of Members, to reflect to reflect the admission of new Members or Transfers
of Units, each as provided by and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)            No
waiver of any provision or default under, nor consent to any exception to, the terms of this Agreement or any agreement contemplated
hereby shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be bound and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance
so provided.

 

Section 12.11         Confidentiality.

 

(a)            Each
of the Members (other than PubCo) agrees to hold the Company’s Confidential Information in confidence and may not disclose or use
such information except as otherwise authorized separately in writing by the Managing Member. “Confidential Information”
as used herein includes all non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries including, but not limited to, ideas, financial
product structuring, business strategies, innovations and materials, all aspects of the Company’s business plan, proposed operation
and products, corporate structure, financial and organizational information, analyses, proposed partners, software code and system and
product designs, employees and their identities, equity ownership, the methods and means by which the Company plans to conduct its business,
all trade secrets, trademarks, tradenames and all intellectual property associated with the Company’s business. With respect to
each Member to which these provisions apply, Confidential Information does not include information or material that: (a) is rightfully
in the possession of such Member at the time of disclosure by the Company; (b) before or after it has been disclosed to such Member
by the Company, becomes part of public knowledge, not as a result of any action or inaction of such Member in violation of this Agreement;
(c) is approved for release by written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel
of the Company or of PubCo, or any other Officer designated by the Managing Member; (d) is disclosed to such Member or their representatives
by a third party not, to the knowledge of such Member, in violation of any obligation of confidentiality owed to the Company with respect
to such information; or (e) is or becomes independently developed by such Member or their respective representatives without use
of or reference to the Confidential Information.

 

    53 

     

    

 

(b)            Solely
to the extent it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to fulfill its obligations or to exercise its rights under this Agreement, each
of the Members may disclose Confidential Information to its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, counsel,
advisers, consultants, outside contractors and other agents, on the condition that such Persons keep the Confidential Information confidential
to the same extent as such Member is required to keep the Confidential Information confidential; provided, that such Member shall
remain liable with respect to any breach of this Section 12.11 by any such Subsidiaries, Affiliates, partners, directors,
officers, employees, counsel, advisers, consultants, outside contractors and other agents (as if such Persons were party to this Agreement
for purposes of this Section 12.11).

 

(c)            Notwithstanding
Section 12.11(a) or Section 12.11(b), each of the Members may disclose Confidential Information (i) to
the extent that such Member is required by Law (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil
investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, (ii) for purposes of reporting to its
stockholders and direct and indirect equity holders (each of whom are bound by customary confidentiality obligations) the performance
of the Company and its Subsidiaries and for purposes of including applicable information in its financial statements to the extent required
by applicable Law or applicable accounting standards; or (iii) to any bona fide prospective purchaser of the equity or assets
of a Member, or the Common Units held by such Member (provided, in each case, that such Member determines in good faith that such
prospective purchaser would be a Permitted Transferee), or a prospective merger partner of such Member (provided, that such Persons
will be informed by such Member of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree in writing to keep such information confidential
in accordance with the contents of this Agreement). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.11 will
restrict in any manner the ability of PubCo to comply with its disclosure obligations under Law, and the extent to which any Confidential
Information is necessary or desirable to disclose.

 

Section 12.12         Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the
conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the Laws of any other State.

 

Section 12.13          No
Presumption. With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement, the parties hereto understand and agree that the
same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the parties hereto desire or are required to interpret
or construe any such term or condition, no consideration will be given to the issue of which party hereto actually prepared, drafted
or requested any term or condition of this Agreement.

 

Section 12.14          Attorney-In-Fact.
Each Member (other than any Member that is entitled to appoint a director to the PubCo Board) hereby appoints the Company as such Member’s
attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) and hereby authorizes the Company to the execute and deliver in such Member’s
name and on its behalf any amendment of this Agreement or other document relating hereto in furtherance of such Member’s rights
and obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each such Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that such proxy is coupled with an interest
and shall not terminate upon any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, death or incapacity of such Member.

 

    54 

     

    

 

Section 12.15          Immunity
Waiver. Each Member acknowledges that it is a commercial entity and is a separate entity distinct from its ultimate shareholders
and/or the executive organs of the government of any state and is capable of suing and being sued. The entry by each Member into this
Agreement constitutes, and the exercise by each Member of its respective rights and performance of its respective obligations hereunder
will constitute, private and commercial acts performed for private and commercial purposes that shall not be deemed as being entered
into in the exercise of any public function.

 

Section 12.16          Specific
Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered
if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved
Member or other party or third-party beneficiary specified in Section 12.08 will be irreparably damaged and will not have
an adequate remedy at Law. Any such Person shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be
entitled at Law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting
of any bond and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the Company or
Members shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at Law.

ARTICLE I.

Section 1.1         Definitions.
As used in this Agreement, the terms set forth in this Article I shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally
applicable to both (i) the singular and plural and (ii) the active and passive forms of the terms defined).

for Taxes described in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be calculated (a) using the Assumed State and Local Tax Rate, solely
for purposes of calculating the state and local Actual Tax Liability and (b) assuming, solely for purposes of calculating the liability
for U.S. federal income Taxes, that state and local income and franchise Taxes are not deductible by the Corporation or the Corporate
Group for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

Local Tax Rate” means six percent (6%) (which amount, for the avoidance of doubt, was selected by taking into account and is
intended to reflect the deductibility by the Corporation for federal income tax purposes of state and local income taxes under current
law), provided that the Corporation may adjust the Assumed State and Local Tax Rate from time to time (a) in the event of
a change in Law, (b) in the event of a change in material fact or (c) if the Corporation otherwise determines in good faith
from time to time that such adjustment is necessary or advisable.

where, following an Exchange, the LLC remains in existence as an entity for tax purposes) and (ii) under Sections 732 and 1012 of
the Code and, in each case, the comparable sections of U.S. state and local tax law (in situations where, as a result of one or more Exchanges,

by the Corporation), the Corporation may make reasonable estimates and assumptions, including if determined by the Corporation assuming
that such Basis Adjustments will be allocable to property that is depreciable or amortizable over a 15-year period. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the amount of any Basis Adjustment resulting from an Exchange of one or more Units shall be determined
without regard to any Pre-Exchange Transfer of such Units and as if any such Pre-Exchange Transfer had not occurred.

ARTICLE II.

DETERMINATION OF REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

 

Section 2.1         Attribute
Schedule. Following the IPO Date, within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the filing of Form 1120 (or any successor
form) of the Corporation or the Corporate Group for a given Taxable Year, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Parties a schedule
(the “Attribute Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail, the Covered Tax Assets that are available for use by
the Corporation or the Corporate Group with respect to such Taxable Year with respect to each TRA Party (including the Basis Adjustments
with respect to the Reference Assets resulting from any Exchanges and the periods over which such Basis Adjustments are amortizable or
depreciable). The Attribute Schedule shall also list any limitations on the ability of the Corporation or the Corporate Group to utilize
any Covered Tax Assets under applicable laws (including as a result of the operation of Section 197(f)(9) of the Code, Section 382
of the Code or Section 383 of the Code).

 

Section 2.2         Tax
Benefit Schedule.

 

(a)            Tax
Benefit Schedule. Within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the filing of the Form 1120 (or any successor form) of
the Corporation or the Corporate Group for any Taxable Year, the Corporation shall provide to the TRA Parties a schedule showing, in reasonable
detail, the calculation of the Tax Benefit Payment in respect of each TRA Party for such Taxable Year and the calculation of the Realized
Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment and the components thereof for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). Each Tax
Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.3(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.3(b) (subject
to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b)).

 

(b)            Applicable
Principles. For purposes of calculating the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for any period, carryovers or carrybacks
of any Tax item attributable to the Covered Tax Assets shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations, as applicable, 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 Covered Tax Asset and another portion that is not, such respective
portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Corporation shall be entitled to make reasonable simplifying assumptions in making determinations contemplated by this Agreement,
including reasonable assumptions regarding basis recovery periods (and the parties hereby agree that, among other things, the Corporation’s
determination of the Realized Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment with respect to U.S. state and local taxes might not take into account
jurisdiction-specific U.S. state and local adjustments to the U.S. federal taxable income base or to the U.S. federal rules regarding
the utilization of tax attribute carryovers).

Section 2.3         Procedures,
Amendments.

 

(a)            Procedure.
Every time the Corporation delivers to the TRA Parties a Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant
to Section 2.3(b), and any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall also (x) deliver
to the TRA Parties schedules, valuation reports, if any, and work papers, as determined by the Corporation or reasonably requested by
the TRA Parties, providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule, and (y) allow the TRA Parties reasonable
access at no cost to the appropriate representatives of the Corporation, as determined by the Corporation or requested by the TRA Parties
in connection with the review of such Schedule. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, each time the Corporation
delivers to the TRA Parties a Tax Benefit Schedule, in addition to the Tax Benefit Schedule duly completed, the Corporation shall deliver
to the TRA Parties a reasonably detailed calculation of the applicable Hypothetical Tax Liability and a reasonably detailed calculation
of the applicable Actual Tax Liability, as well as any other work papers as determined by the Corporation or reasonably requested by the
TRA Parties, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to provide any information that it reasonably believes is unnecessary
for purposes of determining the items in the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall
become final and binding on all parties sixty (60) calendar days after the first date on which the TRA Parties have received the applicable
Schedule or amendment thereto unless (i) a TRA Party provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule
(“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) each TRA Party provides a written waiver of such right of any
Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding
on the date the last such waiver is received by the Corporation. If the Corporation and the TRA Parties, for any reason, are unable to
successfully resolve the issues raised in an Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of an
Objection Notice, then the Corporation and the TRA Parties shall employ the reconciliation procedures described in Section 7.9 of
this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

 

(b)            Amended
Schedule. The applicable Attribute Schedule or Tax Benefit 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 inaccuracies in the Schedule identified after
the date the Schedule was provided to the TRA Parties, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation
Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to
a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit
or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year or (vi) as otherwise
determined in good faith by the Corporation to be reasonably necessary or appropriate (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).
The Attribute Schedule shall be appropriately amended by the Corporation and the TRA Parties to the extent that, as a result of a Determination,
the Corporation is required to calculate its Tax liability in a manner inconsistent with the Attribute Schedule. The Corporation shall
provide an Amended Schedule to the TRA Parties within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days of the occurrence of an event referenced
in clauses (i) through (vi) of the first sentence of this Section 2.3(b).

ARTICLE III.

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

 

Section 3.1         Timing
and Amount of Tax Benefit Payments.

 

(a)            Within
five (5) Business Days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to the TRA Parties becomes final in accordance with Section 2.3(a),
the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to each TRA Party for such Taxable Year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
Tax Benefit Payment in respect of such TRA Party for such Taxable Year determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b) over (ii) the
aggregate amount of Advance Payments previously made to such TRA Party in respect of such Taxable Year; provided that, if the Corporation
makes Advance Payments, it shall make Advance Payments to all parties eligible to receive payments under this Tax Receivable Agreement
with respect to a particular Taxable Year in proportion to their respective amount of anticipated payments under this Tax Receivable Agreement
in respect of such Taxable Year, as determined by the Corporation. Each such Tax Benefit Payment or such Advance Payment shall be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Party to the Corporation or as otherwise
agreed by the Corporation and such TRA Party.

 

(b)            A
 “Tax Benefit Payment” in respect of a TRA Party means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of the portion of the
Net Tax Benefit that is Attributable to such TRA Party and the Interest Amount with respect thereto. A Net Tax Benefit is “Attributable”
to a TRA Party to the extent that is derived from a Covered Tax Asset this is allocable to Units that were Exchanged by such TRA Party,
as determined by the Corporation in accordance with the definition of “Covered Tax Assets.” The “Net Tax Benefit”
for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the
end of such Taxable Year over (ii) the sum of the total amount of payments previously made under Section 3.1(a) (excluding
payments attributable to Interest Amounts) and the Advance Payments previously made under Section 3.1(b) of this Agreement;
provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that (1) a TRA Party shall not be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax
Benefit Payment or Advance Payment it receives under this Agreement; (2) no amounts due to a TRA Party under this Agreement shall
be escrowed and (3) no TRA Party shall be required to make a payment to the Corporation on account of a Realized Tax Detriment. The
 “Interest Amount” in respect of the TRA Party shall equal the interest on the amount of the unpaid Net Tax Benefit
Attributable to such TRA Party for a Taxable Year, which interest shall accrue on any unpaid Net Tax Benefit from and after the date on
which the calculation of such Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year becomes final pursuant to Section 2.3(a), calculated at the
Agreed Rate, until the date such unpaid amounts are paid. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Interest Amount shall not
be treated as interest but instead shall be treated as additional consideration in the Exchange unless otherwise required by law. “Advance
Payments” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means the payments, if any, made by the Corporation to such TRA Party
as an advance of such TRA Party’s anticipated Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year. The Corporation shall be entitled at its
option to make Advance Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control,
all Tax Benefit Payments shall be calculated by utilizing Valuation Assumptions (1) and (5), substituting in (1) “the
date of a Change of Control” for the term “Early Termination Date.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, after any lump-sum payment under Article IV of this Agreement in respect of present or future Covered Tax Assets, such
Covered Tax Assets shall no longer be considered Covered Tax Assets for purposes of determining Tax Benefit Payments or the Net Tax Benefit.

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

Section 3.2         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. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed consistent with such intent.

 

Section 3.3         Pro
Rata Payments.

 

(a)            Notwithstanding
anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate amount of the tax benefit to the Corporation or the Corporate
Group from the reduction in Tax Liability as a result of the Covered Tax Assets is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporation
or the Corporate Group does not have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize available deductions and other attributes, the Net Tax
Benefit giving rise to Tax Benefit Payments shall be allocated among the TRA Parties in proportion to the respective amounts of Tax Benefit
Payments that would have been paid under this Agreement if the Corporation or the Corporate Group, as applicable, had sufficient taxable
income so that there were no such limitation; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of allocating among the TRA Parties
the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments payable under this Agreement with respect to any Taxable Year, the operation of this Section 3.3(a) with
respect to any prior Taxable Years shall be taken into account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Attribute Schedule for a given Taxable
Year shall reflect the operation of this Section 3.3(a) in respect of previous Taxable Years, with the Covered Tax Assets described
in such Attribute Schedule that are attributable to a TRA Party being adjusted to reflect payments received in respect of such Covered
Tax Assets (the intention of the parties being to avoid duplicative payments and maintain records sufficient to allow the Corporation
to allocate Tax Benefit Payments consistent with the terms of this Section 3.3(a)).

 

(b)            After
taking into account Section 3.3(a), if for any reason the Corporation does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make Tax
Benefit Payments due under this Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year (for example, as a result of having insufficient cash
to make the Tax Benefit Payments due hereunder), then the Corporation and the TRA Parties agree that (i) the Corporation shall make
payments due hereunder to the TRA Parties in respect of a Taxable Year in the same proportion as such payments would have been made if
the relevant payment had been made in full by the Corporation, and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable
Year until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been paid.

 

(c)            To
the extent the Corporation makes a payment to a TRA Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section 3.1(a) of this
Agreement (taking into account Section 3.3(a) and (b)) in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have
been made to the TRA Party in respect of such Taxable Year, then (i) the TRA Party shall not receive further payments under Section 3.1(a) until
the TRA Party has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (ii) the Corporation shall pay the amount of the TRA Party’s
foregone payments to other TRA Parties (to the extent applicable) in a manner such that each of the other TRA Parties, to the extent possible,
shall have received aggregate payments under Section 3.1(a) and (b) in the amount it would have received if there had been
no excess payment to the TRA Party.

ARTICLE IV.

TERMINATION

 

Section 4.1         Early
Termination of Agreement; Breach of Agreement.

 

(a)            With
the prior written approval of each of a majority of the “independent directors” (within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq rules) of the Governing Body, the Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts
payable to the TRA Parties at any time by paying to each TRA Party the Early Termination Payment in respect of the TRA Party; provided,
however, that (i) this Agreement shall only terminate pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) upon the receipt in full of the Early
Termination Payment by the TRA Parties; (ii) the Corporation shall deliver an Early Termination Notice only if it is able to make
all required Early Termination Payments under this Agreement and (iii) the Corporation may withdraw any notice to execute its termination
rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid.

 

(b)            In
the event that the Corporation breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of a failure to make
any payment when due, a 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 or otherwise, and the Corporation fails to cure such breach within thirty
(30) Business Days of a TRA Party notifying the Corporation in writing of such breach, then, at the election of the TRA Parties, subject
to the following proviso, 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; provided, that (i) each TRA Party’s election shall apply only in respect
of such TRA Party and (ii) at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any such election, the applicable TRA Party shall
provide written notice to the other TRA Parties in order to permit each other TRA Party, if it wishes, to make its election simultaneously.
Procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to the determination of the
amounts payable by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 4.1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation
breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, in lieu of electing to receive the amounts referred to in this Section 4.1(b) pursuant
to the provisions hereof, the TRA Parties may seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Corporation fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due;
provided, that (x) the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment, and (y) solely with respect
to a Tax Benefit Payment, if the Corporation does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by
existing credit agreements or other indebtedness to which the LLC is a party, Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall
be replaced by the Agreed Rate; provided that it shall be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement if the Corporation
makes any distribution of cash or other property with respect to any equity interest in the Corporation while any Tax Benefit Payment
is due and payable under this Agreement but unpaid (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) issuances of Class A Common Stock
or Class B Common Stock, (ii) issuances of rights to purchase Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock pursuant
to a shareholders’ rights or similar plan and (iii) any compensation, withholdings or other payments under the Corporation’s
or its subsidiaries’ equity incentive plans and awards thereunder as in effect from time to time).

 

(c)            In
connection with a Change of Control, at the election of the TRA Parties, all obligations hereunder with respect to the TRA Parties shall
be terminated. The Corporation hereby agrees to provide twenty (20) calendar days prior written notice to each TRA Party of a Change of
Control. Within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such notice, each TRA Party shall provide written notice as to whether it will
terminate this Agreement. If a TRA Party elects to terminate the Agreement, then all obligations under this Agreement with respect to
the applicable TRA Party shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered
on the date of the Change of Control. Procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with
respect to the determination of the amounts payable by the Corporation.

 

    	 	14	 

     

    

 

Section 4.2         Early
Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1(a) above, the
Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Parties notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”).
In addition, if the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1(a) above, the obligations
under this Agreement are accelerated under Section 4.1(b) above or a TRA Party exercises their right to terminate this Agreement
under Section 4.1(c) above, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Parties a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”)
showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment due to each TRA Party. Such Early Termination Schedule shall
become final and binding on all parties consistent with the procedures described in Section 2.3(a). The date on which the Early Termination
Schedule becomes final shall be the “Early Termination Effective Date.”

 

Section 4.3         Payment
upon Early Termination.

 

(a)            Within
three (3) calendar days after an Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporation shall pay to each of the TRA Parties an amount
equal to the Early Termination Payment in respect of such TRA Party. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the TRA Party or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and such TRA Party.

 

(b)            “Early
Termination Payment” in respect of a TRA Party shall equal, without duplication, (i) the present value, discounted at the
Early Termination Rate, as of the date of the Early Termination Notice, of all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of such TRA Party that
would be required to be paid by the Corporation beginning from the date of the Early Termination Notice and applying the Valuation Assumptions,
plus (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment determined by the Corporation to be due and payable with respect to such TRA Party that is unpaid
as of the date of the Early Termination Notice, plus (iii) any other Tax Benefit Payment due and payable with respect to such TRA
Party for a Taxable Year ending prior to the date of the Early Termination Notice, plus (iv) interest accruing on the amounts described
in clauses (i) through (iii) (which shall include interest accruing on the amount described in clause (i) from the date
of the Early Termination Notice).

 

(c)            Upon
the payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporation to a TRA Party, the Corporation shall not have any further payment obligations
under this Agreement in respect of such TRA Party.

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

ARTICLE V.

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

 

Section 5.1         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 under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest,
or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations owed in respect of secured or unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money
of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment
with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporation that are not Senior Obligations. To the extent that any payment under
this Agreement is not permitted to be made at the time payment is due as a result of this Section 5.1 and the terms of the agreements
governing Senior Obligations, such payment obligation nevertheless shall accrue for the benefit of the applicable TRA Parties and the
Corporation shall make such payments at the first opportunity that such payments are permitted to be made in accordance with the terms
of the Senior Obligations. Except as otherwise determined by the Governing Body with the approval of the TRA Parties, (i) payments
under any other tax receivable agreement (or similar agreement) entered into by the Corporation, the LLC or their Subsidiaries after
the date hereof shall be subordinate to all payments owed pursuant to this Agreement, and no such payments shall be made (x) for
so long as the Corporation has any unpaid obligation pursuant to this Agreement and (y) with respect to any particular taxable period
governed by such tax receivable agreement until payments with respect to such taxable period under this Agreement have been determined
and (if any) paid and (ii) the Actual Tax Liability and Hypothetical Tax Liability under this Agreement shall be calculated by assuming
that any tax attributes that are subject to a tax receivable agreement (or similar agreement) described in the preceding clause (i) (for
the avoidance of doubt, other than this Agreement) did not exist.

 

Section 5.2         Late
Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or other payment
under this Agreement not made to the TRA Parties when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest
thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or other
payment was due and payable.

 

ARTICLE VI.

TAX MATTERS; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION

 

Section 6.1         Participation
in the Corporation’s and the LLC’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 the LLC and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation
the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to taxes; provided, however,
that the Corporation shall notify the TRA Parties of, and keep them reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the
Corporation, the LLC or any of their Subsidiaries the outcome of which is reasonably expected to adversely affect the rights and obligations
of the TRA Parties under this Agreement in a material respect, and shall provide to the TRA Parties reasonable opportunity to provide
information and other input to the Corporation, the LLC and their Subsidiaries concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit,
which information and other input the Corporation, the LLC and their Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall consider in good faith.

 

Section 6.2     Consistency.
The Corporation, the LLC and the TRA Parties agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including federal, state and local

with that specified in any Schedule finalized consistent with the terms of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

    	 	16	 

     

    

 

Section 6.3         Cooperation.
Each of the Corporation, the LLC and the TRA Parties shall (a) furnish to the other parties in a timely manner such information,
documents and other materials as the other party may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary
or appropriate under this Agreement, completing any financial statement audit, preparing any Tax Return or defending any audit, examination
or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the other party and its representatives to provide explanations
of documents and material and such other information as the other party 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, and the Corporation
shall reimburse each TRA Party for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section at the request
of the Corporation or the LLC.

Section 7.2         Counterparts;
Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other
Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic delivery (i.e. by email of a PDF signature page) shall be as effective as delivery of

Agreement.

 

    18 

     

    

 

Section 7.4         Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to the
conflicts of laws principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

Section 7.5         Severability.
If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other
terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of
the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term
or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

Section 7.6         Assignments;
Amendments; Successors; No Waiver.

 

(a)            Assignment.
No TRA Party may assign, sell, pledge, or otherwise alienate or transfer any interest in this Agreement, including the right to receive
any Tax Benefit Payments under this Agreement, to any Person without (i) the prior written consent of the Governing Body (or any
Person(s) to whom the Governing Body has delegated such authority) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) such
Person executing and delivering a Joinder agreeing to succeed to all or the applicable portion of such TRA Party’s interest in this
Agreement and to become a Party for all purposes of this Agreement (the “Joinder Requirement”). For the avoidance of
doubt, if a TRA Party transfers Units in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement but does not assign to the transferee of such
Units its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units, such TRA Party shall continue to be entitled to receive
the Tax Benefit Payments arising in respect of such Units (and any such transferred Units shall be separately identified, so as to facilitate
the determination of Tax Benefit Payments hereunder). The Corporation may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
to any Person (other than any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business or assets of the Corporation) without the prior written consent of each of TRA Parties (and any purported assignment
without such consent shall be null and void).

 

(b)            Amendments.
No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by each of (i) the Governing Body (or
any Person(s) to whom the Governing Body has delegated such authority); and (ii) the TRA Parties who collectively would be entitled
to receive at least a majority of any Early Termination Payments that would be hypothetically payable to all TRA Parties (assuming all
equity interests in the LLC that have redemption rights under the LLC Agreement are redeemed and exchanged for shares of Class A
Common Stock at such time and using the Valuation Assumptions).

 

    19 

     

    

 

(c)            Successors.
Except as provided in Section 7.6(a), all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by, the Parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and
legal representatives. The Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation
or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to 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.

 

(d)            Waiver.
No failure by any Party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, or condition of this Agreement, or to
exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty,
agreement, or condition.

 

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

 

Section 7.8         Resolution
of Disputes.

 

(a)            Except
for Reconciliation Disputes subject to Section 7.9, any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary
claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement (each a “Dispute”) shall be finally
resolved by arbitration in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution Rules for Administered
Arbitration (the “Rules”) by three arbitrators, of which the Corporation shall appoint one arbitrator and the TRA Parties
shall jointly appoint two arbitrators in accordance with the “screened” appointment procedure provided in Rule 5.4. The
arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by
the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of the arbitration shall be New York, New York.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding
the provisions of paragraph (a), any party may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose
of compelling another party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing
an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each party (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph
(c) of this Section 7.8 to any such action or proceeding, and (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary
damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate. For
the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.8 shall not apply to Reconciliation Disputes to be settled in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 7.9.

 

(c)            Each
party irrevocably consents to service of process by means of notice in the manner provided for in Section 7.1. Nothing in this Agreement
shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

(d)            WAIVER
OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

 

    20 

     

    

 

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

 

Section 7.9         Reconciliation.
In the event that the Corporation and one or more TRA Parties are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to a Schedule (a “Reconciliation
Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”)
in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to such parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally
recognized accounting firm, and unless the Corporation and such TRA Parties agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs
the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporation or such TRA Parties or other actual or potential conflict of
interest. If the Corporation and such TRA Parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the
respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the selection of an Expert shall be treated as a Dispute subject to
Section 7.8 and an arbitration panel shall pick an Expert from a nationally recognized accounting firm that does not have any material
relationship with the Corporation or such TRA Parties or other actual or potential conflict of interest. The Expert shall resolve any
matter relating to a Schedule or an amendment thereto as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days
after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved
before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting
the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return
may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the
engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporation except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporation
and the TRA Parties shall each bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert entirely adopts the position
of the TRA Parties, in which case the Corporation shall reimburse the TRA Parties for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert entirely adopts the Corporation’s position, in which case whichever of
the TRA Parties (or all of them) that disputed the position shall reimburse the Corporation for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses in such proceeding. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert
pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be binding on the Corporation and the TRA Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court
having competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.10       Withholding.
The Corporation and its affiliates and representatives shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment that is payable to any
TRA Party pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment
in accordance with the Code or any provision of U.S. state, local or foreign tax law (including for this purpose any withholding required
by the Corporation or its affiliates that may be required in connection with a Redemption or a Direct Exchange). To the extent that amounts
are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid by the Corporation to the relevant TRA Party. Each TRA Party shall promptly provide the Corporation with
any applicable tax forms and certifications reasonably requested by the Corporation in connection with determining whether any such deductions
and withholdings are required under the Code or any provision of U.S. state, local or foreign tax law, including under Sections 1441,
1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code. The Corporation will consider in good faith any applicable certificates, forms or documentation provided
by a TRA Party that in such TRA Party’s reasonable determination reduce or eliminate any such withholding.

 

Section 7.11       Consolidated
Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

 

(a)            The
parties acknowledge that the Corporation is not currently a member of a Corporate Group, but may become a member of a Corporate Group
in the future, and that in such event, the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to such Corporate Group (and any
other affiliated or consolidated Tax group of which the Corporation becomes a part), and that 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
the Corporation, its successors in interest or any member of a group described in Section 7.11(a) transfers one or more assets
to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. income tax purposes) with which the Corporation does not file a consolidated
Tax Return for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (or if any entity that holds Reference Assets transfers any Reference Asset to a corporation
(or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with which the Corporation does not file a consolidated
Tax Return for U.S. federal income Tax purposes), such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early
Termination Payment due hereunder, shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Corporation and each TRA Party, be treated as having disposed
of such asset (or Reference Asset) in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such transfer. The consideration deemed to be received
by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the transferred asset. For purposes of this Section 7.11 a transfer of
a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities
of that partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Corporation, its successor in interest or any member
of a group described in Section 7.11(a), transfers its assets pursuant to a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization”
(within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code) in which such entity does not survive or pursuant to any other transaction
to which Section 381(a) of the Code applies (other than any such reorganization or any such other transaction, in each case,
pursuant to which such entity transfers assets to a corporation with which the Corporation, its successor in interest or any member of
the group described in Section 7.11(a) (other than any such member being transferred in such reorganization or other transaction)
does not file a consolidated Tax Return for U.S. federal income Tax purposes), the transfer will not cause such entity to be treated as
having transferred any assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) pursuant
to this Section 7.11(b) so long as the relevant successor is bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

 

    22 

     

    

 

Section 7.12       Confidentiality.
Each TRA Party and its assignees acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Corporation and its Affiliates provided pursuant
to this Agreement 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, learned by any TRA Party heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that
has been made publicly available by the Corporation, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of any TRA Party in violation
of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community, (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for
a TRA Party to prosecute or defend claims arising under or relating to this Agreement, (iii) the disclosure of information to the
extent necessary for a TRA Party to prepare and file its 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 Tax Returns, and (iv) the
disclosure of information necessary to effect an assignment, sale, pledge, alienation or transfer of any interest in this Agreement pursuant
to Section 7.6(a). If a TRA Party or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this
Section 7.12, the Corporation shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 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 Subsidiaries
and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

 

Section 7.13       Change
in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, as a result of or, in connection with an actual or proposed change in
Tax law, a TRA Party reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could have material adverse tax consequences to such TRA
Party or any direct or indirect owner of such TRA Party, then at the written election of such TRA Party in its sole discretion (in an
instrument signed by such TRA Party and delivered to the Corporation) and to the extent specified therein by such TRA Party, this Agreement
shall cease to have further effect and shall not apply to an Exchange with respect to such TRA Party occurring after a date specified
by such TRA Party, or may be amended by the Corporation in a manner reasonably acceptable to such TRA Party, provided that such
amendment shall not result in an increase in any payments owed by the Corporation under this Agreement at any time as compared to the
amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of such amendment and provided, further, that such amendment shall
not have any adverse effect on any other TRA Party.

 

Section 7.14       Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder with
respect to amounts due to any TRA Party hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable
law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any TRA Party shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the
excess interest shall be applied to the Tax Benefit Payment, Advance Payment or Early Termination Payment, as applicable (but in each
case exclusive of any component thereof comprising interest) or, if it exceeds such unpaid non-interest amount, refunded to the Corporation.
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any TRA Party exceeds the Maximum Rate, such TRA Party may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather
than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the payment obligations owed by the Corporation
to such TRA Party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Parties to conform strictly to any applicable
usury laws.

 

    23 

     

    

 

Section 7.15       Independent
Nature of Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations of each TRA Party hereunder are several and not joint with the rights
and obligations of any other Person. A TRA Party shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Person hereunder, nor shall a TRA Party have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other Person hereunder (other than
the Corporation). Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any
TRA Party pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the TRA Parties acting as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the TRA Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect
to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Corporation acknowledges that the TRA Party are not acting
in concert or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated
hereby.

 

Section 7.16       LLC
Agreement. This Agreement shall be treated as part of the LLC Agreement as described in Section 761(c) of the Code and Sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.

 

Section 7.17       Tax
Characterization and Elections. The parties intend that (A) each Direct Exchange shall give rise to Basis Adjustments, (B) each
Redemption using cash contributed to the LLC by the Corporation shall be treated as a direct purchase of Units from the applicable TRA
Parties pursuant to Section 707(a)(2)(B) of the Code that shall give rise to Basis Adjustments and (C) payments pursuant
to this Agreement with respect to an Exchange (except with respect to amounts that constitute Imputed Interest) shall be treated as consideration
in respect of such Exchange that give rise to additional Basis Adjustments. The Corporation will ensure that, on and after the date hereof
and continuing through the term of this Agreement, the LLC and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries that they control and that
is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code.

 

Section 7.18       Payment
Amounts. The Corporation and the TRA Parties agree that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of any future Exchange
that may be subject to this Agreement, the aggregate value of the Tax Benefit Payments cannot be reasonably ascertained for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any TRA Holder may elect with respect to any Exchange
to limit the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments made to such TRA Holder in respect of that Exchange to a specified dollar amount, a specified
percentage of the amount realized by the TRA Holder with respect to the Exchange, or a specified portion of the Basis Adjustment with
respect to the Adjusted Assets as a result of the Exchange. The TRA Holder shall exercise its rights under the preceding sentence by including
a notice of its desire to impose such a limit and the specified limitation and such other details as may be reasonably necessary (including
whether such limitation includes the Additional Amounts in respect of any such Exchange) in the Exchange Notice delivered in accordance
with the Exchange Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.18 shall not limit any amounts payable in connection with
an Early Termination Payment.
