WHEREAS, OHGI is
a digital media and music and television production company that is focused on media content creation and distribution across various

WHEREAS, OHGI is
exploring opportunities to expand its business and may potentially seek certain strategic opportunities to strengthen the Company’s

to assist Company management with its development plans;

 

WHEREAS, Company
desires to retain Consultant to (i) assist the Company with its plans to expand its business; and (ii) furnish additional ongoing
management and business consulting services aimed at enhancing Company’s business (collectively, the “Consulting

WHEREAS, Consultant

follows:

 

1.       TERM.
This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof along with receipt of the fees defined in Section 4 below and shall extend
thereafter for six (6) months (the “Term”). Unless immediate termination is otherwise specifically permitted

2.       CONSULTING
SERVICES. Company expressly agrees and further acknowledges that Consultant’s obligations are to be performed in
a commercially reasonable manner and that the execution of this Agreement cannot and does not guaranty any particular success or
result. Consultant agrees to act reasonably and in good faith to assist the Company via the Consulting Services, which may
include, always at the Company’s specific request:

(a)       Providing
consulting and liaison services to the Company relating to the further development and implementation of its corporate and business
plan;

(b)       advising
the Company with respect to potential future merger and/or acquisition activities, alliances, joint-ventures, and/or its financial
structure and that of its divisions or subsidiaries; and

(c)       such
other Consulting Services and assistance as Consultant and Company shall mutually deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to enhance
OHGI’s business.

Company understands and
acknowledges that the Consulting Services are not intended to, will not constitute, and should never be construed as, engaging
in the provision of legal advice or broker-dealer activities to Company and that the Consultant shall have no authority to make
‘offers’ to sell Company’s securities, make representations or warranties on Company’s behalf or bind the
Company in any way.

 

3.       APPROVAL
OF INFORMATION. Company shall furnish Consultant with such information as is reasonably required in order for Consultant
to perform its duties hereunder (all such information so furnished, the “Information”). Company recognizes
and confirms that Consultant (i) will use, and rely primarily on, the Information and information available from generally recognized
public sources (the “Public Information”) in rendering its services without having independently verified
the same; (ii) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information and Public Information; (iii)
will not make an appraisal of any assets of Company; and/or (iv) will provide its advice hereunder based on the Information and
the Public Information. It is the Company’s responsibility to make certain that the Information to be furnished by Company,
when delivered, will be true and correct in all material respects and will not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Consultant shall make no representations, warranties or guarantees on
behalf of Company without Company’s prior written consent.

4.       COMPENSATION.

(a)       Simultaneous
with the execution of this Agreement, in order to incentivize the Consultant to enter into this Agreement and to provide the Consulting
Services and for other good and valuable consideration, Company shall issue and immediately and irrevocably deliver to Consultant,
Five Million (5,000,000) restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”). Should the
Company elect to engage in any reverse split(s) of its common stock, the Shares shall not be subject to the reverse split(s). Within
five (5) business days post any reverse split, the Company shall have an obligation to issue such additional shares to Consultant
to bring the total compensation back to the set 5,000,000 shares.

(b)       The
Shares are deemed and agreed to be a commencement incentive and consideration now due and owing for Consultant entering into this
Agreement and performing Consultant’s duties during the Term of this Agreement. Company acknowledges that Consultant has
foregone other opportunities to enter into this Agreement and to reserve sufficient resources to perform its duties throughout
the Term (including preliminary research, diligence and infrastructure set up for Company’s account), and that Company therefore
derives immediate benefit as a result of these actions taken by the Consultant hereunder.

(c)       With
regard to any acquisition of a company introduced by Consultant that results in ownership by OHGI of not less than fifty one percent
(51%) of such company, OHGI shall compensate Consultant within three (3) business days of closing of such transaction that amount
of OHGI common stock or cash that equates to five percent (5%) of the anticipated total purchase price.

(d)       Consultant
shall not be issued, at any time during the Term or any extension thereof, such number of shares of OHGI common stock that would
result in beneficial ownership by the Consultant and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock.

 

(e)       The Company agrees
to take any and all action(s) necessary to clear the Shares awarded to Consultant under this Section 4 of restriction upon
presentation of any Rule 144 application by Consultant or its broker, including, without limitation, (i) authorizing the Company’s
transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend on the Shares, (ii) expediting the acquisition of a legal opinion from Company’s
authorized counsel at Company’s expense (or, in the event Consultant uses its own counsel, at company’s expense up
to $500) favorably opining as to the removal of the restrictive legend, and (iii) cooperating and communicating with Consultant
and its broker in order to use the Company’s commercially reasonable best efforts to clear the Shares of restriction as soon
as possible after presentation of a Rule 144 application by Consultant or its broker to either the Company or its transfer agent.
Further, the Company agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay approval of any application filed by Consultant or its broker
under Rule 144 to clear the Shares or additional shares of restriction.

 

    	 Page 3 of 7	 	 

     

    

  

(f)       The Company (i) agrees that its
Board of Directors has approved this Agreement and that it will appropriately and timely disclose the issuance of the Shares as
issued in its SEC filing(s) if required by applicable securities laws; (ii) shall provide Consultant with a true and correct copy
of the Company Board Resolution authorizing the issuance of the Shares; and (iii) represents and warrants that the Shares issued
to Consultant as compensation hereunder shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

(g)       The Parties
shall negotiate and agree in good faith regarding Consultant’s compensation package for any consulting services to be provided
beyond the scope of this Agreement and/or beyond the Term depending upon the Company’s needs at such time and the services
being requested of Consultant.

(h)       The registration
name on all stock certificates delivered to Consultant shall be “One Percent Investments, Inc.” unless Consultant advises
otherwise in a writing signed by its CEO.

5.       LIMITATION
OF ENGAGEMENT. Company acknowledges that Consultant has been retained only by Company, that Consultant is providing Consulting
Services hereunder as an independent contractor (and not in any fiduciary or agency capacity) and that Company’s engagement
of Consultant is not deemed to be on behalf of, and is not intended to confer rights upon, any shareholder, owner or partner of
OHGI or any other person not a Party hereto as against Consultant or any of its affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers,
directors, controlling persons, employees or agents. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Consultant, no one other than
the Company is authorized to rely upon this Agreement or any other statements or conduct of Consultant. Company acknowledges that
any recommendation or advice, written or oral, given by Consultant to the Company in connection with Consultant’s engagement
is intended solely for the benefit and use of the Company, and any such recommendation or advice is not on behalf of, and shall
not confer any rights or remedies upon, any other person or be used or relied upon for any other purpose. Consultant shall not
have the authority to make any commitment binding on the Company. Company in its sole discretion, shall have the right to reject
any investor introduced to it by Consultant. Company acknowledges that neither the price of the Company’s stock, nor the
trading volume thereof measure Consultant’s performance hereunder.

6.       CONFIDENTIALITY.
Other than as required by applicable law, neither Consultant nor any of its consultants, employees, agents, and/or officers or
directors shall disclose any knowledge or information they may obtain in the course of performing the Consulting Services, which
knowledge or information might concern confidential or material, non-public affairs of Company without the Company’s prior
consent.

 7.       COMPLIANCE AND GOVERNING LAW.

(a)       OHGI,
in connection with the issuance of any stock to Consultant hereunder, as may be applicable, shall be responsible for any and all
compliance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Act as well as all applicable
filing requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and state securities
laws. Company recognizes and agrees that failure to timely make its Exchange Act filings will materially hinder the effectiveness
of the Consulting Services and will constitute automatic grounds for cancellation by the Consultant and all Compensation paid to
Consultant up to and including the date of such failure shall be deemed fully earned by Consultant as of such date.

(b)       This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(c)       It is specifically
understood that Consultant is not and does not hold itself out to be a ‘broker/dealer’ as that term is understood in
applicable law (including the ‘Paul Anka’ SEC no-action letter dated July 24, 1991, and the ‘Country Business,
Inc.’ SEC no-action letter dated November 8, 2006) in reference to the Company procuring financing sources and merger and/or
acquisition candidates, and Consultant does not normally provide such services. Consultant may identify and introduce to the Company
potential investors but will not be responsible for the structuring of any transaction with any such investor. Any obligation to
pay compensation hereunder shall survive the merger, acquisition or other change in the form of entity of the Company and to the
extent it remains unfulfilled shall be assigned and transferred to any successor to the Company. The Company agrees that no reference
to the Consultant will be made in any filing, press release or advertisement of any financing without the express approval, in
writing, of such release by Consultant, except as required at law. It is further understood that Company and not Consultant is
responsible to perform any and all due diligence on any broker/dealer, lender, investor or merger or acquisition candidate introduced
to Company by Consultant under this Agreement prior to Company receiving funds or closing on any transaction.

8.       NOTICE.
All notices and correspondence hereunder shall be in writing and sent by overnight delivery service, with all charges prepaid,
to the applicable Party at the addresses set forth above, or by confirmed facsimile transmission (including, without limitation,
computer generated facsimile) or by e-mail, as to each Party, to such address as any Party may from time-to-time designate for
itself by notice in writing given to the other Party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 8. All such
notices and correspondence shall be deemed given upon the earliest to occur of (i) if by e-mail, actual receipt; (ii) if sent by
overnight delivery service, when received at the above stated addresses or when delivery is refused; or (iii) if sent by facsimile
transmission or electronic mail, on the next business day or when receipt of such transmission is acknowledged or confirmed, whichever
is earlier.

9.       INDEMNIFICATION.
Subject to Section 10 hereunder, Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Consultant, its officers, directors,
members, employees, affiliates, and agents against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, resulting from any act, action or omission, except for acts of Consultant of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence
related to this Agreement.

10.       LIMITATIONS.
Any liability of Consultant and its officers, directors, controlling persons, employees or agents related to this Agreement shall
not exceed Five Thousand United States Dollars (USD $5,000), unless it is finally judicially determined that such liability resulted
primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant (in which case there shall be no such limitation). No
guarantees of OHGI stock performance express or implied have been made by or involving the Company or Consultant in connection
with this Agreement, which Agreement memorializes the full extent of the relationship between the Company and Consultant

11.       EXPENSES.
Company will reimburse Consultant for its receipted expenses incurred in connection with the Consulting Services, if such expenses
are approved in advance in writing (email confirmation is acceptable). Reimbursement shall be made within ten (10) business days
following receipt of Consultant’s invoice. Company shall also reimburse Consultant for costs incurred by Consultant for collection
of any fees due to Consultant under this Agreement, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.

12.       INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS. No agency, joint venture, partnership or employment shall be created by this Agreement, as the Parties are
independent contractors with respect to one another. Neither Party shall have authority to act as an agent of the other or to otherwise
bind the other to any agreement, commitment, obligation, contract, instrument, undertaking, arrangement, certificate or other matter.
Each Party hereto shall refrain from making any representation intended to create an apparent agency, employment, partnership or
joint venture relationship.

13.       MISCELLANEOUS.
This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable
in any respect, such determination will not affect such provision in any other respect, and the remainder of the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect. In the interpretation of this Agreement, the ‘contra proferentem’ rule of
construction will not apply (this Agreement being the product of negotiations between commercially sophisticated Parties) and
this Agreement will therefore not be construed in favor of or against any Party by reason of the extent to which any Party or
its professional advisors participated in the preparation and drafting hereof. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(including e-mail or facsimile counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

MEMBERS; UNITS; CAPITALIZATION

 

Section 3.01           
Members.

 

(a)               
The Original Member previously was admitted as a Member and hereby continues as a Member. The Company is hereby authorized
to, and shall, issue such Common Units as required in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and Section 3.03
of this Agreement and the Company is hereby authorized to authorize such other Units as permitted and in accordance with this Agreement.
Upon the issuance of Units to a Person other than the Original Member pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such Person
shall automatically be admitted as a Member upon such Person’s execution of this Agreement or a Joinder notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary.

 

(b)               
The Company shall maintain a schedule setting forth: (i) the name of each Member; (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding
Units and the number and class of Units held by each Member; (iii) the aggregate amount of cash Capital Contributions that has
been made by the Members with respect to their Units; and (iv) the Fair Market Value of any property other than cash contributed
by the Members with respect to their Units (including, if applicable, a description and the amount of any liability assumed by
the Company or to which contributed property is subject) (such schedule, the “Schedule of Members”).
The applicable Schedule of Members immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination Closing (assuming the Other Members
have been paid in full the consideration they are entitled to receive pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement in connection
with the Business Combination Closing) and the Original Member Contribution is set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement.
The Schedule of Members shall be the definitive record of ownership of each Unit of the Company and all relevant information with
respect to each Member. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on the Schedule of
Members as the owner of Units for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest
in Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided
by the Delaware Act.

    	 	13	 

     

    

(c)               
No Member shall be required to make any additional Capital Contributions without such Member’s consent. No Member
shall be required or, except as approved by the Manager pursuant to Section 6.01 and in accordance with the other provisions
of this Agreement, permitted to loan any money or property to the Company or borrow any money or property from the Company.

 

(d)               
Tax Refunds of the Corporation. All refunds for taxes received by the Corporation after the Effective Time that are
attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Effective Time shall be promptly transferred to the
Company for no consideration and no additional Units shall be issued to the Corporation in respect of any such transfer. To the
extent such refunds are taxable to the Corporation, the transfer of such portion of the refunds shall constitute an increase in
the Capital Account of the Corporation and the Company shall allocate an amount of trade or business expenditures (that are deductible
under Section 162 of the Code) to the Corporation equal to such portion of the refunds so that there is no net effect on the Capital
Accounts (“Refund Offset Allocations”). To the extent such refunds are not taxable to the Corporation, the transfer
of such portion of the refunds shall constitute an increase in the Capital Account of the Corporation and the Company shall record
a decrease in the Book Value of property contributed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 3.03 (as if such adjustment
to the Book Value of property were treated similar to purchase price adjustments for U.S. federal income tax purposes) so that
there is no net effect on the Capital Accounts. All refunds for taxes received by the Corporation that are attributable to taxable
periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Effective Time shall be promptly transferred to the Company for no consideration
as an increase in the Corporation’s Capital Account but where no additional Units shall be issued to the Corporation in respect
of any such transfer. In such an event, (i) the Capital Account of each Member other than the Corporation shall be increased in
an amount equal to the increase in the Corporation’s Capital Account described in the preceding sentence divided by
the percentage of Units held by the Corporation times the percentage of Units held by such Member, (ii) the Tax Advances
made to such Member shall be deemed to be increased by the amount calculated in clause (i) of this sentence, and (iii) no additional
Units shall be issued to such Member in respect of any such increase in such Member’s Capital Account.

 

Section 3.02           
Units. Interests in the Company shall be represented by Units, or such other securities of the Company, in each case
as the Manager may establish in its discretion in accordance with the terms and subject to the restrictions hereof. Immediately
after the Effective Time, the Units will be comprised of a single class of Common Units. To the extent required pursuant to Section
3.04(a), the Manager may create one or more classes or series of Common Units or preferred Units solely to the extent they
are in the aggregate substantially equivalent to a class of common stock of the Corporation or class or series of preferred stock
of the Corporation.

 

Section 3.03           
The Original Member Contribution. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, the
Corporation has contributed to the Company all of the assets thereof (including the equity interests of certain Subsidiaries of
the Corporation), and as of the Effective Time in exchange therefor, the Company has converted the Common Units (as defined in
the Original LLC Agreement) of the Corporation into the number of Common Units set forth next to the Corporation’s name on
Schedule 1 (the “Original Member Contribution”). As a result of the Business Combination Closing,
the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Original Member Contribution will result in a “revaluation of partnership
property” and corresponding adjustments to Capital Account balances as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)
and 1.704-1(b)(2)(g).

Section 3.04           
Authorization and Issuance of Additional Units.

 

(a)               
If at any time following the Business Combination Closing (including pursuant to Article XI) the Corporation issues
a share of its Common Stock or any other Equity Security of the Corporation (excluding the Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock
issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement), (i) the Company shall issue to the Corporation one Common Unit (if the
Corporation issues a share of Common Stock) or such other Equity Security of the Company (if the Corporation issues Equity Securities
other than Common Stock) corresponding to the Equity Securities issued by the Corporation, and with substantially the same rights
to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities
of the Corporation, and (ii) the net proceeds (or property) received by the Corporation with respect to the corresponding share
of Common Stock or other Equity Security issued by the Corporation, if any, shall be concurrently contributed by the Corporation
to the Company as a Capital Contribution; provided, that no such contributions shall occur or be required to occur in respect
of, and no Units shall be issued to the Corporation with respect to, the proceeds received by the Corporation pursuant to the Subscription
Agreements, except to the extent that the amount of such proceeds exceeds an amount equal to (the “BCA Amount”):
(x) the amount required by the Corporation to purchase shares of Common Stock in the Tender Offer, plus (y) the amount of
any fees, expenses or taxes or other amounts required to be paid by the Corporation pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement
or incurred by the Corporation in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, but only to the extent not paid prior to
the consummation of the Tender Offer, less (z) the amounts drawn (or that are permitted to be drawn), if any, under the
Credit Agreement of the Corporation described in clause (i) of the definition of “Credit Agreement” for purposes of
paying such fees, expenses, taxes or other amounts described in clause (y) of this Section 3.04(a), it being agreed that
if the amount of such proceeds exceeds the BCA Amount, then the Corporation shall contribute such excess proceeds to the Company
as a Capital Contribution promptly following the consummation of the Tender Offer and shall be issued Common Units in respect thereof
at a price equal to $12.00 per Common Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.04(a) shall not apply to (A) (1)
the issuance and distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock of rights to purchase Equity Securities of the Corporation under
a “poison pill” or similar shareholders rights plan or (2) the issuance (including under any Equity Plan) of any warrants,
options, other rights or property that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, but shall in each
of the foregoing cases apply to the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the conversion, exercise or settlement of such
rights, warrants, options or other rights or property, mutatis mutandis, (B) the issuance of Common Stock or restricted
stock units covering shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Equity Plan that is restricted, subject to forfeiture or otherwise
unvested upon issuance (“Corporation Restricted Shares”), but shall apply upon the vesting of such Corporation
Restricted Shares, mutatis mutandis, or (C) the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the TO Redemption. Except pursuant
to Article XI or the potential contribution referred to above in the proviso to this Section 3.04(a) in respect of
the BCA Amount, (I) the Company may not issue any additional Common Units to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries unless
substantially simultaneously the Corporation or such Subsidiary issues or sells an equal number of shares of Common Stock to another
Person, and (II) the Company may not issue any other Equity Securities of the Company to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries
unless substantially simultaneously the Corporation or such Subsidiary issues or sells, to another Person, an equal number of shares
Equity Securities of the Corporation or such Subsidiary with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including
distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of the Company.

    	 	15	 

     

    

(b)               
The Company shall only be permitted to issue additional Units or other Equity Securities in the Company to the Persons and
on the terms and conditions provided for in Section 3.01(a), Section 3.02, Section 3.03, this Section 3.04
and Section 3.11 or as otherwise determined by the Manager (including as consideration in the acquisition by the Company
or any Subsidiary thereof of any other Person or the assets thereof, whether by merger, stock or equity purchase, asset purchase
or otherwise).

 

(c)               
The Company shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization
or otherwise) or combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding Common
Units unless accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding Common Stock, with corresponding
changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible securities of the Corporation and the Company. The Corporation
shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise)
or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding Common Stock unless
accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding Common Units, with corresponding changes
made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible securities of the Corporation and the Company. The Company shall not
in any manner effect any subdivision (by equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or
combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of any outstanding Equity Securities of
the Company (other than the Common Units) unless accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the
corresponding Equity Securities of the Corporation, with corresponding changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible
securities of the Corporation and the Company. The Corporation shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by stock split,
stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization
or otherwise) of any outstanding Equity Securities of the Corporation (other than the Common Stock) unless accompanied by an identical
subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the corresponding Equity Securities of the Company, with corresponding changes made

Subject to Section 3.05(b), if the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires
(excluding pursuant to the Tender Offer) (i) any shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall substantially simultaneously redeem,
repurchase or otherwise acquire from the Corporation an equal number of Common Units for the same price per security; or (ii) any
other Equity Securities of the Corporation (excluding the Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock), then the Company shall substantially
simultaneously redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire from the Corporation an equal number of Equity Securities of the Company
of a corresponding class or series with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon
liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of the Corporation for the same price per security; provided,
however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such redemption shall be effected in respect of any shares of Common Stock
acquired by the Corporation in the Tender Offer. Subject to Section 3.05(b), the Company may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise
acquire (A) any Common Units from the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries unless substantially simultaneously the Corporation
or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires an equal number of shares of Common Stock for the same price per
security from holders thereof or (B) any other Equity Securities of the Company from the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries
unless substantially simultaneously the Corporation or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires for the same
price per security an equal number of Equity Securities of the Corporation of a corresponding class or series with substantially
the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distribution upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of
such Equity Securities of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(a), to the extent
that any consideration payable by the Corporation in connection with the redemption or repurchase of any shares of Common Stock
or other Equity Securities of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries consists (in whole or in part) of shares of Common Stock
or such other Equity Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the cashless exercise of an option or
warrant), then the redemption or repurchase of the corresponding Common Units or other Equity Securities of the Company shall be
effectuated in an equivalent manner.

    	 	16	 

     

    

(b)               
Irrespective of any other term or condition set forth in this Agreement, (i) the Corporation and the Manager may cause the
TO Redemption to be undertaken by the Company and the Members without any further consent or action on the part of the other Members
and such TO Redemption may be effected via the direct transfer of the redemption consideration payable to the Other Members pursuant
to clause (a) of the definition of TO Redemption to the Corporation as payment for the corresponding issuance of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of TO Redemption to the Other Members, (ii) the purchase of the corresponding number
of shares of Common Stock by the Corporation in the Tender Offer shall satisfy the requirement in Section 3.05(a) for the
Corporation to redeem a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Common Units redeemed by the Company from the Corporation
pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of TO Redemption, and (iii) the redemption of Common Units by the Company from the Corporation
pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of TO Redemption shall satisfy the requirement in Section 3.05(a) for the Company
to redeem Common Units from the Corporation with respect to a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Corporation

of the definition of TO Redemption, which subscription agreement shall be substantially on the form and terms set forth in the
Closing Subscription Agreement. Each Member shall execute and deliver all documents, agreements, certificates and any other instruments

representing the number of Units held by such holder. Such certificate shall be in such form (and shall contain such legends) as
the Manager may determine. Any or all of such signatures on any certificate representing one or more Units may be a facsimile,
engraved or printed, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Manager agrees that it shall not elect to treat any Unit as
a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code unless thereafter all Units then outstanding
are represented by one or more certificates; provided, that in such event, (i) each Unit shall constitute a “security”
within the meaning of, and also be governed by, (A) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof)
as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (B) the corresponding provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of
any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted
by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar
Association on February 14, 1995, and (ii) the Company shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the Transfer of Units,
and a Transfer of Units shall, subject to compliance with all other provisions of this Agreement regarding Transfers, be effected
by the Company’s registering the Transfer upon delivery of an endorsed certificate representing the Units being transferred.

    	 	17	 

     

    

(b)               
If Units are certificated, the Manager may direct that a new certificate representing one or more Units be issued in place
of any certificate theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon delivery to the Manager
of an affidavit of the owner or owners of such certificate, setting forth such allegation. The Manager may require the owner of
such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to
indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate
or the issuance of any such new certificate.

Upon surrender to the Company or the transfer agent of the Company, if any, of a certificate for one or more Units, duly
endorsed or accompanied by appropriate evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, in compliance with the provisions
hereof, the Company shall issue a new certificate representing one or more Units to the Person entitled thereto, cancel the old
certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Manager may prescribe such
additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to the issue, Transfer and registration of Units.

provisions of Section 3.01(c), the amount of any such advances shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be
payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such advances are made.

Equity Plans.

 

(a)               
Tax Treatment. Solely for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in connection with any Equity Plan, whether as a result of exercise of a stock option granted over shares of Common
Stock or in connection with the grant of Corporation Restricted Shares, shall be treated, if and as applicable, in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1032-3(b) and 1.83-6(d).

 

(b)               
Future Stock Incentive Plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the
Corporation from adopting, modifying or terminating stock incentive plans for the benefit of employees, directors or other business
associates of the Corporation, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. The Members acknowledge and agree that, in the
event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the Corporation, amendments to this Section 3.10 may become
necessary or advisable and that any approval or consent to any such amendments requested by the Corporation shall be deemed granted
by the Manager without the requirement of any further consent or acknowledgement of any other Member.

 

(c)               
Anti-dilution Adjustments. For all purposes of this Section 3.10, the number of shares of Common Stock and
the corresponding number of Common Units shall be determined after giving effect to all anti-dilution or similar adjustments that
are applicable, as of the date of exercise or vesting, to the option, warrant, restricted stock or other equity interest that is
being exercised or becomes vested under the applicable Equity Plan and applicable award or grant documentation.

Section 3.11           
Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Cash Option Purchase Plan, Stock Incentive Plan or Other Plan. Except as may otherwise
be provided in this Article III, all amounts received or deemed received by the Corporation in respect of any dividend reinvestment
plan, cash option purchase plan, stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, either (a) shall be utilized
by the Corporation to effect open market purchases of shares of Common Stock, or (b) if the Corporation elects instead to issue
new shares of Common Stock with respect to such amounts, shall be contributed by the Corporation to the Company in exchange for
additional Common Units. Upon such contribution, the Company will issue to the Corporation a number of Common Units equal to the
number of new shares of Common Stock so issued.

Tax Distributions. With respect to any period (or the portion thereof) ending after the date hereof:

 

(i)                
The Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and subject to the availability of funds and any restrictions
contained in any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, make distributions to all Members pro rata,
in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest, on a quarterly basis and in such amounts as necessary to enable the
Corporation to timely (x) satisfy all of its U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax liabilities, and (y) meet its obligations
pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, Section 4.01(c) shall apply prior to the application of
this Section 4.01(b)(i).

 

(ii)              
If a Member (other than the Corporation) has an Assumed Tax Liability at a Tax Advance Date in excess of the sum of the
amount of distributions under Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b)(i) and any Tax Advances made to such Member, in
each case during the taxable year or portion thereof ended on or prior to such Tax Advance Date, the Company shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, and subject to the availability of funds and any restrictions contained in any agreement to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, make advances to such Member in an amount equal to such excess (a “Tax
Advance”). Any such Tax Advance shall be treated as an advance against and, thus, shall reduce dollar-for-dollar
(without duplication), any future distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member pursuant to Section 4.01(a)
and Section 14.02(c). If either (1) a Tax Advance is made with respect to a Member (other than the Corporation) based on
an estimate of the Member’s Assumed Tax Liability and it is later determined that the Tax Advance exceeded the Member’s
actual Assumed Tax Liability or (2) the Member’s Assumed Tax Liability is reduced by reason of a final partnership adjustment
from the Internal Revenue Service, the excess of such Member’s actual or recomputed Assumed Tax Liability over the previous
Tax Advances made to such Member shall be taken into account for purposes of making subsequent Tax Advances or Distributions to
such Member. In addition, to the extent the Member has been allocated tax losses in a previous period, such losses shall be taken
into account for purposes of making subsequent Tax Advances to such Member. If there is a Tax Advance outstanding with respect
to a Member who (x) elects to participate in a Redemption or is required to participate in a CIC Redemption, or (y) Transfers Units
pursuant to the provisions of Article X (other than in a Permitted Transfer), then in each case such Member shall repay
or cause the transferee to repay to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the Redemption Date or the date of such Transfer,
as the case may be, an amount of cash equal to the proportionate share of such Tax Advance relating to its Units subject to the
Redemption or Transfer (determined at the time of the Redemption or Transfer based on the number of Units subject to the Redemption
or Transfer as compared to the total number of Units held by such Member); provided; however, that in the case of
a Transfer described in clause (y), such Member shall not be relieved from any liabilities associated with and the obligation
to repay its existing Tax Advance relating to such Units subject to the Transfer, and if the transferee fails to repay to the Company
such amount equal to the proportionate share of such Member’s existing Tax Advance relating to such Units subject to the
Transfer, such Member shall be obligated to promptly pay such amount to the Company on the terms set forth herein; provided,
further, that in no event shall the obligation to repay any Tax Advance (or a proportionate share thereof) exceed the value
of the Common Stock that such Member received in any Redemption (as of the date of such Redemption) or would have received if such
Member had participated in a Redemption on the date of such Transfer. Subject to the terms set forth herein, the obligations of
each Member pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive the withdrawal of any Member or the Transfer of any Member’s
Units and shall apply to any current or former Member. For the avoidance of doubt, any repayment of a Tax Advance pursuant to the
previous sentence shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution.

    	 	19	 

     

    

(c)               
Special Tax Distributions to the Corporation. If the Corporation is allocated taxable income other than taxable income
attributable to Corporation Gross Income Allocations, Tax Offset Allocations and Refund Offset Allocations (for any reason whatsoever,
including by reason of a final partnership adjustment from the Internal Revenue Service) in excess of an amount equal to (i) the
taxable income (other than taxable income attributable to Corporation Gross Income Allocations, Tax Offset Allocations and Refund
Offset Allocations) allocated to Members other than the Corporation divided by (ii) the percentage of Units held by Members
other than the Corporation times (iii) the percentage of Units held by the Corporation, the Company shall make distributions
to the Corporation in such amounts as necessary to enable the Corporation to timely satisfy all of its U.S. federal, state and
local and non-U.S. tax liabilities attributable to such excess taxable income. Payments pursuant to this Section 4.01(c)
are defined as “Preferred Tax Distributions.” For avoidance of doubt, the payment of a Preferred Tax
Distribution to the Corporation shall not entitle the Members other than the Corporation to any increased distribution rights under
this Agreement (and the number of Units issued to each Member shall not be adjusted). In order to illustrate the application of
and interaction of Preferred Tax Distributions and Corporation Gross Income Allocations, see Exhibit D.

 

(d)               
Prior Tax Obligations of the Corporation. All taxes paid by the Corporation after the Effective Time that are attributable
to taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Effective Time (including but not limited to any Taxes attributable
to Section 965 of the Code and any Taxes imposed on the Corporation by reason of (i) the Business Combination Agreement or the
Tender Offer or (ii) the recognition of income under Section 481(a) of the Code with respect to changes in accounting methods made
prior to the Effective Time) shall be promptly reimbursed to the Corporation by the Company for no consideration and such reimbursement
shall not entitle the Members to any increased distribution rights under this Agreement (and the number of Units issued to each
Member shall not be adjusted). To the extent such payments of tax are deductible by the Corporation, the reimbursement of such
portion of the taxes shall constitute a reduction in the Capital Account of the Corporation and the Company shall allocate an amount
of gross income (that is taxable under the Code) to the Corporation equal to such portion of the tax payments so that there is
no net effect on the Capital Accounts (“Tax Offset Allocations”). To the extent such payments of tax
are not deductible by the Corporation, the reimbursement of such portion of the taxes shall constitute reductions in the Capital
Account of the Corporation and the Company shall record an increase in the Book Value of property contributed by the Corporation
pursuant to Section 3.03 (as if such adjustment to the Book Value of property were treated similar to purchase price adjustments
for U.S. federal income tax purposes) so that there is no net effect on the Capital Accounts.

    	 	20	 

     

    

Section 4.02           
Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company
shall not make any Distribution to any Member on account of any Company Interest if such Distribution would violate any applicable
Law or the terms of any Credit Agreement or result in a default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute a default) thereunder.

 

Article
V

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS

 

Section 5.01           
Capital Accounts.

 

(a)               
The Company shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member according to the rules of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). For this purpose, the Company may (in the reasonable discretion of the Manager), upon the occurrence of the
events specified in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance
with the rules of such Treasury Regulations and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of Company
property. The Capital Account balance of each of the Members as of the date hereof, as adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (if applicable), is its respective “Contribution Closing Capital Account Balance” set
forth on the Schedule of Members.

 

(b)               
For purposes of computing the amount of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction to be allocated pursuant to
this Article V and to be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Members, the determination, recognition and classification
of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including
any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for this purpose); provided, however, that in determining
the amount of Profits and Losses:

 

(i)                
Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits
or Losses pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) shall be added to such taxable income or loss.

 

(ii)              
The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include those items described in Code Section 705(a)(l)(B)
or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items
are not includable in gross income or are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

    	 	21	 

     

    

(iii)            
If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f)
(including all such adjustments under Sections (b) or (c) of the definition of Book Value), the amount of such adjustment shall
be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property.

 

(iv)             
Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Company property having a Book Value that differs
from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property.

 

(v)               
In lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing Profits or
Losses, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Taxable Year or other Fiscal Period.

 

(vi)             
To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b)
is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts,
the amount of such adjustment to the 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).

 

(vii)           
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.01(b), items specifically allocated under Section 5.03
shall be excluded from the computation of Profits and Losses.

 

Section 5.02           
Allocations.

 

(a)               
The Company shall allocate an amount of its gross income to a Member equal to the Preferred Tax Distributions paid to such
Member. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.02(a) are defined as “Member Gross Income Allocations”.

 

(b)               
After giving effect to the Member Gross Income Allocations, Tax Offset Allocations and Refund Offset Allocations and the
allocations under Section 5.03, and subject to Section 5.04, Profits and Losses (and items of gross income, deductions,
gains and losses if necessary) shall be allocated to the Members in such a manner so that the Capital Account of each Member equals
(as of the end of such period and to the fullest extent possible) the amount equal to the excess of (a) the hypothetical amount
that would be distributed to such Partner if all assets of the Company were sold for cash equal to their respective book values
(determined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)), all Company liabilities were satisfied in cash according
to their terms (limited with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability to the book value of the assets securing such liability), and
the net proceeds of such hypothetical sale were distributed to the Members pursuant to the order and priority of Section 4.01,
over (b) the sum of the amount, if any, which such Member is unconditionally obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company
and such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain computed immediately prior to such
hypothetical sale.

 

Section 5.03           
Regulatory and Special Allocations.

 

(a)               
Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
5.03, if there is a net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be allocated items
of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable 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 previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member
pursuant thereto. The items so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and
1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.03(a) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement as
described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

    	 	22	 

     

    

(b)               
Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 5.03, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt
during any Taxable 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 Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s shares
of the net decrease in 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 so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and
1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.03(b) is intended to comply with the “partner minimum gain chargeback” requirements
as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

 

(c)               
If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or Distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after
the application of Section 5.03(a) and Section 5.03(b) but before the application of any other provision of this
Section 5.03(c), then items of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year 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 quickly as possible, provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.03(c) 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 Section 5.03 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.03(c) were not in the Agreement. This Section
5.03(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)
and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

 

(d)               
In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Taxable Year, each such Member shall be
specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that
an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.03(d) 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 Section 5.03 have been tentatively made as if Section
5.03(c) and this Section 5.03(d) were not in the Agreement.

 

(e)               
If the allocation of Losses to a Member as provided in Section 5.02 would create or increase an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit, there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Losses as will not create or increase an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit. The Losses that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such
Member shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests, subject to this Section
5.03(e).

 

(f)                
Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year shall be allocated pro rata among the Members in accordance with their Percentage
Interests.

 

(g)               
Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable 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 Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

    	 	23	 

     

    

(h)               
Profits and Losses described in Section 5.01(b)(vi) shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that
the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

 

(i)                
The allocations set forth in Section 5.03(a) through and including Section 5.03(h) (the “Regulatory
Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury
Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate Profit and
Loss of the Company or make Distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V, but subject
to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction and loss shall be reallocated among the Members so as to eliminate the effect
of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close
thereto as possible) they would have been if Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) had been
allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by
specially allocating other Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss) among the Members so that
the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. In addition, if in any Taxable
Year or other Fiscal Period there is a decrease in Company Minimum Gain, or in Member Minimum Gain, and application of the minimum
gain chargeback requirements set forth in Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(b) would cause a distortion in the economic
arrangement among the Members, the Members may, if they do not expect that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct
such distortion, request the Internal Revenue Service to waive either or both of such minimum gain chargeback requirements. If
such request is granted, this Agreement shall be applied in such instance as if it did not contain such minimum gain chargeback
requirement.

 

Section 5.04           
Tax Allocations.

 

(a)               
The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company will be allocated, for U.S. federal (and applicable state
and local) income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and
credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts; provided, that if any such allocation is not permitted by
the Code or other applicable Law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will be allocated
among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

 

(b)               
Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the
Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between
the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in a manner consistent
with Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations using any reasonable method under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder as elected by the Manager in its sole discretion. With respect to property deemed contributed
to the Company by the Corporation as a result of the transactions completed by operation of the Business Combination Agreement
(including for avoidance of doubt, property contributed to the Company by the Corporation prior to the Business Combination Closing),
the Company will apply the “traditional method” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) so as to take
account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its
Book Value. With respect to property held by Buddy’s immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company will apply the
“traditional method with curative allocations” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c) so as to take
account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its
Book Value. In applying the “traditional method with curative allocations” with respect to the property contributed
to the Company by the Members other than the Corporation (or revalued in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)
to reflect the revaluation of Company property in connection with the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Business Combination
Agreement), the curative allocations prior to the disposition of such property shall be limited by the lowest of the following
amounts: (i) the amount necessary to offset the effect of the “ceiling rule” as described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-3(c), (ii) the amount equal to the trade or business expenditures (deductible under Code Section 162) allocated to the affected
Member and (iii) the amount necessary to cause the affected Member to be allocated taxable income equal to the Company’s
taxable income times the Member’s Percentage Interest. With respect to such property, the curative allocations at the time
of the disposition of such property shall be limited by the lowest of the following amounts: (i) the amount necessary to offset
the remaining effect of the “ceiling rule” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c) after applying the
previous sentence to current and previous periods and (ii) the amount equal to the gain from the sale of such property that is
otherwise allocated to the Corporation. In order to illustrate the application of this paragraph, see Exhibit C.

    	 	24	 

     

    

(c)               
If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.01(b), subsequent allocations of items of
taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis
of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in a manner consistent with Code Section 704(c) and the applicable
Regulations using any reasonable method under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder as
elected by the Manager in its sole discretion, provided, however, that the Manager should select reasonable methods that have the
intended effect of causing taxable income to be allocated to the Members pro rata based on Percentage Interests.

 

(d)               
In the event of a Transfer of Units, Profits and Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company
attributable to such transferred Units for the Fiscal Period in which such Transfer occurs shall be determined using either the
interim closing of the books method or the proration method, as agreed to by the Corporation.

 

(e)               
If, as a result of an exercise of a noncompensatory option to acquire an interest in the Company, a Capital Account reallocation
is required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Company shall make corrective allocations pursuant
to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

 

(f)                
Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members pro rata
as determined by the Manager taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

 

(g)               
Each Member’s share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” shall be determined in accordance
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) and shall be allocated to the Members using any reasonable method described in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), as elected by the Manager in its sole discretion.

 

(h)               
Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.04 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal (and applicable state and local)
income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share
of Profits, Losses, Distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

    	 	25	 

     

    

Section 5.05           
Withholding; Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member. The Company and its Subsidiaries may withhold from
Distributions, allocations or portions thereof if it is required to do so by any applicable Law, and each Member hereby authorizes
the Company and its Subsidiaries to withhold or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of U.S. federal, state,
or local or non-U.S. taxes that the Manager determines, in good faith, that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required
to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. The Company
and its Subsidiaries may also withhold from Distributions, allocations or portions thereof to any Member any amount of U.S. federal,
state, local or non-U.S. taxes that the Manager determines, in good faith, is attributable to a taxable period (or portion thereof)
ending on or before the Effective Time. In addition, if the Company is obligated to pay any other amount to a Governmental Entity
(or otherwise makes a payment to a Governmental Entity) that is specifically attributable to a Member (including any imputed underpayment
within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Code (or a similar provision of state or local law) with respect to items of income,
gain, loss deduction or credit allocable or attributable to such Member, state personal property taxes and state unincorporated
business taxes, but excluding payments such as professional association fees and the like made voluntarily by the Company on behalf
of any Member based upon such Member’s status as an employee of the Corporation, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries),
then such tax shall be treated as an amount of taxes withheld or paid with respect to such Member pursuant to this Section 5.05.
For all purposes under this Agreement, any amounts withheld or paid with respect to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.05
shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member at the time such withholding or payment is made. Further, to the extent
that the cumulative amount of such withholding or payment for any period exceeds the distributions to which such Member is entitled
for such period, such Member shall reimburse the Company in full for the amount of such excess. The Manager may offset Distributions
(including Tax Advances) to which a Person is otherwise entitled under this Agreement against such Person’s obligation to
reimburse the Company under this Section 5.05. A Member’s obligation to reimburse the Company under this Section
5.05 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section
5.05, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it
may have against each Member under this Section 5.05, including instituting a lawsuit to collect amounts owed under such
reimbursement obligation with interest accruing from the date such withholding or payment is made by the Company at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by Law). Any income from such reimbursement
(and interest) shall not be allocated to or distributed to the Member reimbursing such amount (and interest). Each Member hereby
agrees to furnish to the Company such information and forms as required or reasonably requested in order to comply with any laws
and regulations governing withholding of tax or in order to claim any reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding to which
the Member is legally entitled.

MANAGEMENT

 

Section 6.01           
Authority of Manager.

 

(a)               
Except for situations in which the approval of any Member(s) is specifically required by this Agreement, (i) all management
powers over the business and affairs of the Company shall be exclusively vested in the Manager and (ii) the Manager shall conduct,
direct and exercise full control over all activities of the Company. The Manager shall be the “manager” of the Company
for the purposes of the Delaware Act. The Manager is an agent of the Company, and any action taken by the Manager shall constitute
the act of and serve to bind the Company. Persons dealing with the Company are entitled to rely conclusively on the power and authority
of the Manager as set forth in this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein and subject to the other provisions
of this Agreement, the Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of all such powers and rights conferred on the Members
by the Delaware Act with respect to the management and control of the Company. Any vacancies in the position of Manager shall be
filled in accordance with Section 6.03 and Section 6.04.

    	 	26	 

     

    

(b)               
The day-to-day business and operations of the Company may be overseen and implemented by officers of the Company (each,
an “Officer” and collectively, the “Officers”), subject to any limitations
imposed by the Manager. An Officer may, but need not, be a Member. Each Officer shall be appointed by the Manager and shall hold
office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he or she shall
resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any one Person may hold more than one office. Subject to
the other provisions in this Agreement (including in Section 6.07), the salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers
of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager. The authority and responsibility of the Officers shall include,
but not be limited to, such duties as the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to them and the carrying out of the Company’s
business and affairs on a day-to-day basis. An Officer may also perform one or more roles as an officer of the Manager or its Affiliates.
The Manager may remove any Officer from office at any time, with or without cause. If any vacancy shall occur in any office, for
any reason whatsoever, then the Manager shall have the right to appoint a new Officer to fill the vacancy.

 

(c)               
Without limiting the generality of Section 6.01(a), but subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including
Section 11.01), the Manager shall have the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other
disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including the exercise or grant of any conversion, option,
privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or
the merger, consolidation, division, conversion, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity,
all without any further act, vote or consent of any Member or any other Person (unless otherwise expressly provided herein).

 

Section 6.02           
Actions of the Manager. The Manager may act through any Officer or through any other Person or Persons to whom authority
and duties have been delegated pursuant to Section 6.07.

 

Section 6.03           
Resignation; No Removal. The Corporation shall not, by any means, resign as, cease to be or be replaced as the Manager
except in compliance with this Section 6.03. No resignation or replacement of the Corporation as the Manager shall be effective
unless proper provision is made, in compliance with this Agreement, so that the obligations of any new Manager and the rights of
all Members under this Agreement and applicable Law remain in full force and effect. No appointment of a Person other than the
Corporation (or its successor, as applicable) as the Manager shall be effective unless the new Manager executes this Agreement
and thereby assumes the obligations of the Manager hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in Section 6.04,
the Members (other than the Corporation in accordance with this Agreement) have no right under this Agreement to remove or replace
the Manager.

 

Section 6.04           
Vacancies. Vacancies in the position of Manager occurring for any reason shall be filled by the Corporation or its
successor (or, if the Corporation has ceased to exist without any successor or assign, then by the holders of a majority in interest
of the voting capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such cessation). For the avoidance of doubt, the Members (other
than the Corporation or its successor in accordance with this Agreement) have no right under this Agreement to fill any vacancy
in the position of Manager.

 

Section 6.05           
Transactions Between Company and Manager. The Manager may cause the Company to contract and deal with the Manager
or any Affiliate of the Manager; provided, that such contracts and dealings are either (i) on terms comparable to and competitive
with those available to the Company from others dealing at arm’s length or (ii) are approved by the Members (other than the
Manager and its controlled Affiliates) holding a majority of the Units (excluding Units held by the Manager and its controlled
Affiliates) then outstanding and, in any case, would not violate any provisions of or result in a default (or an event that, with
notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under any Credit Agreement; provided further, that the
terms set forth in this Section 6.05 shall not apply to contracts or dealings between or among the Company or its Subsidiaries
or among Subsidiaries of the Company.

    	 	27	 

     

    

Section 6.06           
Reimbursement for Expenses. The Manager shall not be compensated for its services as Manager of the Company except
as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Common Stock is and will continue to be publicly
traded and therefore the Manager will have access to the public capital markets and that such status and the services performed
by the Manager will inure to the benefit of the Company and all Members. Therefore, the Manager shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, and subject to the availability of funds and any restrictions contained in any agreement to which the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, be reimbursed by the Company for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf
of the Company, including all fees, expenses and costs of being a public company (including public reporting obligations, proxy
statements, stockholder meetings, stock exchange fees, transfer agent fees, SEC and FINRA filing fees and offering expenses), director
and officer insurance expenses and indemnity and advancement obligations and maintaining its existence as a separate legal entity,
but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment obligations of the Corporation under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby assumes and agrees to honor all rights of all current or future directors
or officers of the Corporation to indemnification and advancement of expenses that may be currently or hereafter provided in the
Corporation Certificate or Corporation Bylaws, and the Company agrees that all such directors and officers are third-party beneficiaries
of this sentence. In the event that shares of Common Stock are sold to underwriters in any public offering after the Business Combination
Closing, in each case, at a price per share that is lower than the price per share for which such shares of Common Stock are sold
to the public in such public offering after taking into account underwriters’ discounts or commissions and brokers’
fees or commissions (such difference, the “Discount”), the Company shall (but only so long as the terms
set forth in this sentence do not result in duplicative issuances when taking into account the terms set forth in Section 3.04)
reimburse the Manager for such Discount by treating such Discount as an additional Capital Contribution made by the Manager to
the Company, issuing Common Units in respect of such deemed Capital Contribution in accordance with Section 11.02, and increasing
the Manager’s Capital Account by the amount of such Discount. To the extent practicable, expenses incurred by the Manager
on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company and, if
and to the extent any reimbursements to the Manager or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.06
constitute gross income to such Person (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by such Person on behalf of the Company),
such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) and shall not be treated
as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

 

Section 6.07           
Delegation of Authority. The Manager (a) may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons such authority and
duties as the Manager may deem advisable, and (b) may assign titles and delegate certain authority and duties to such Persons as
the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. Any number of titles may be held by the
same individual. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of such agents of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by
the Manager, subject to the other provisions in this Agreement.

    	 	28	 

     

    

Section 6.08           
Limitation of Liability of Manager, Affiliates, etc.

 

(a)               
None of the Manager’s Affiliates nor any former, current or future directors, officers, employees of the Manager or
its Affiliates or other Representative or successor or assign of any of the foregoing shall be liable to the Company or to any
Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by the Manager in its capacity as the sole manager of the Company pursuant
to authority granted to the Manager by this Agreement, and no right of recovery against, and no recourse shall be had against,
and no personal liability shall attach to, any Affiliates of the Manager or any of the former, current or future directors, officer
or employees of the Manager or its Affiliates, or other Representative or successor or assign of any of the foregoing hereunder.
The Manager may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder
either directly or by or through its officers, employees or agents, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such officer, employee or agent (so long as such officer,
employee or agent was selected in good faith and with reasonable care). The Manager shall be fully protected in relying in good
faith upon the records of the Company and upon information, opinions, reports or statements presented by any Member, liquidating
trustee, officer, employee of the Company, committees of the Company, Members or Manager, or by any other Person (including legal
counsel, independent public accountants or other experts) as to matters the Manager reasonably believes are within such other Person’s
professional or expert competence, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets,
liabilities, profits or losses of the Company, or the value and amount of assets or reserves or contracts, agreements or other
undertakings that would be sufficient to pay claims and obligations of the Company or to make reasonable provision to pay such
claims and obligations, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members
or creditors might properly be paid. Any act of or failure to act by the Manager in reliance on such records, information, opinions,
reports or statements shall in no event subject the Manager to liability to the Company or any Member that is not the Manager.

 

(b)               
Subject to Section 6.11, whenever in this Agreement the Manager is permitted or required to take any action or to
make a decision in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Manager shall act under such express standard
and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise,
shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or
any provision of law, in equity or otherwise, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as the Manager
acts in accordance with such express standard, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Manager shall
not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or impose liability upon the Manager or any
of the Manager’s Affiliates.

 

Section 6.09           
Investment Company Act. The Manager shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Company shall not be subject
to registration as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act.

 

Section 6.10           
Outside Activities of the Manager. The Manager shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business
or operations, other than in connection with (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Units or other Equity Securities
of the Company, (b) the management of the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (c) the operation of the Manager
as a reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and listed on a
securities exchange or over-the-counter market, (d) the offering, sale, syndication, private placement or public offering of stock,
bonds, securities or other interests, (e) financing or refinancing of any type related to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their
assets or activities, and (f) such activities as are incidental to the foregoing; provided, however, that, except
as otherwise provided herein, the net proceeds of any sale of Equity Securities of the Corporation pursuant to the preceding clauses
(d) and (e) shall be made available to the Company as Capital Contributions and the proceeds of any other financing raised by the
Manager pursuant to the preceding clauses (d) and (e) shall be made available to the Company as loans or otherwise as appropriate
and, provided, further, that the Manager may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time hold or acquire
assets in its own name or otherwise other than through the Company and its Subsidiaries so long as the Manager takes all necessary
measures to ensure that the economic benefits and burdens of such assets are otherwise vested in the Company or its Subsidiaries,
through assignment, mortgage loan or otherwise. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Manager from executing
any guarantee of indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall apply only for
so long as any Other Members hold Units.

    	 	29	 

     

    

Section 6.11           
Standard of Care. Subject to the second sentence of this Section 6.11, the Manager shall, in connection with
the performance of its duties in its capacity as the Manager, have the same fiduciary duties to the Company and the Members as
would be owed to a Delaware corporation and its stockholders by its directors and shall be entitled to the benefit of the same
presumptions in carrying out such duties as would be afforded to a director of a Delaware corporation (as such duties and presumptions
are defined, described and explained under the Laws of the State of Delaware as in effect from time to time). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Manager shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for monetary damages
for any breach of fiduciary duty; provided, however, that this limitation of liability shall not eliminate or limit
the liabilities of the Manager for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its Members or for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent
that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of the Manager otherwise existing at law
or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, such other duties and liabilities
of the Manager.

VII

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS

 

Section 7.01           
Limitation of Liability and Duties of Members; Investment Opportunities.

 

(a)               
Except as provided in this Agreement or in the Delaware Act, no Member (including the Manager) shall be obligated personally
for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or acting as the Manager of the Company;
provided, that in the case of the Manager, and subject to the second sentence of Section 6.11, this sentence shall
not in any manner limit (x) the liability of the Manager to the Company or any Member (other than the Manager) attributable to
a breach by the Manager of any obligations of the Manager under this Agreement or (y) the liability of a Member to the Company
or any Member to the extent resulting from a breach by such Member (and not any other Member) of any of its obligations under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or
requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware
Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the Company.

 

(b)               
In accordance with the Delaware Act and the other laws of the State of Delaware, a Member may, under certain circumstances,
be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, it is the
intent of the Members that no Distribution to any Member pursuant to Article IV shall be deemed a return of money or other
property paid or distributed in violation of the Delaware Act. The payment of any such money or Distribution of any such property
to a Member shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Delaware Act, and, to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, any Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property
to the Company or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions
of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, then such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member
and not of any other Member.

    	 	30	 

     

    

(c)               
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (subject to Section 6.08 and except as set forth in Section
6.11, in each case, with respect to the Manager), to the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member (or such Member’s
Affiliate or any manager, equity holder, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee
of such Member or of any Affiliate of such Member (each Person described in this parenthetical, a “Related Person”))
has duties (including fiduciary duties (other than any fiduciary duty owed by such Member or Related Person to the Corporation))
to the Company, to the Manager, to another Member, to any Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest or to any other
Person bound by this Agreement, all such duties are hereby eliminated, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and replaced with
the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any. The elimination of duties to the Company, the Manager, each of the
Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement and replacement
thereof with the duties or standards expressly set forth herein, if any, are approved by the Company, the Manager, each of the
Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Company Interest and each other Person bound by this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 7.01(c) shall not apply in respect of any Member or Related Person who is an employee of the
Corporation, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries solely in respect of such Member’s or Related Person’s
position as an employee of the Corporation, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

 

(d)               
Notwithstanding any duty (including any fiduciary duty) otherwise applicable at law or in equity, the doctrine of corporate
opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, will not apply to any Member or to any Related Person of such Member, and no Member (or
any Related Person of such Member) that acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that
may be an opportunity for the Company or the Members will have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company
or the Members, or to develop any particular investment, and such Person will not be liable to the Company or the Members for breach
of any fiduciary or other duty (other than any fiduciary duty owed by such Person to the Corporation) by reason of the fact that
such Person pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to, another Person or does not communicate such investment opportunity
to the Members. Notwithstanding any duty (including any fiduciary duty (other than any fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation))
otherwise applicable at law or in equity, neither the Company nor any Member has any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement
or the relationships created hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and
the pursuit of any such ventures outside the Company, even if competitive with the activities of the Company or the Members, will
not be deemed wrongful or improper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.01(d) shall not apply in respect of any
Member or Related Person who is the Manager or an employee of the Manager, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries
solely in respect of such Member’s or Related Person’s position as an employee of the Manager, the Company or any of
their respective Subsidiaries.

 

Section 7.02           
Lack of Authority. No Member, other than the Manager or a duly appointed Officer, in each case in its capacity as
such, has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the Company, to do any act that would be binding on the Company or
to make any expenditure on behalf of the Company. The Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of the powers conferred
on the Manager by Law and this Agreement.

    	 	31	 

     

    

Section 7.03           
No Right of Partition. No Member shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of
Law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company.

 

Section 7.04           
Indemnification.

 

(a)               
Subject to Section 5.05, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Person (as defined
below) to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted
or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution
or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior to
such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities, damages and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, amounts paid
in settlement, fines, excise taxes, interest or penalties) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such
Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was serving as the Manager or Officer or is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a manager, officer, general partner, director, principal or member of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise (an “Indemnified Person”); provided,
however, that no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, liabilities and losses suffered that are attributable
to such Indemnified Person’s or its Affiliates’ bad faith, willful misconduct or violation of Law in which such Indemnified
Person or such Affiliate acted with knowledge that its conduct was unlawful, or, in the case of the Manager, for any breaches of
any representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Manager contained herein or the duty of loyalty owed by the Manager
or other liabilities of the Manager as described in the proviso to the second sentence of Section 6.11. Expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance
of the final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled
to be indemnified by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall control the defense of any
claim, litigation or proceeding involving an Indemnified Person (other than the Manager) with respect to which such Indemnified
Person (other than the Manger) is seeking indemnification hereunder and no Indemnified Person (other than the Manager) shall settle,
compromise or consent to the entry of any order or judgment in respect of such proceeding without the prior written consent of
the Company.

 

(b)               
The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 7.04 shall not be exclusive
of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, bylaw or action by the Manager
or otherwise.

 

(c)               
The Company or the Corporation shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain directors’ and officers’
liability insurance, or substantially equivalent insurance, at its expense, to protect any Indemnified Person (and the investment
funds, if any, they represent) against any expense, liability or loss described in Section 7.04(a) whether or not the Company,
the Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries would have the power to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such
expense, liability or loss under the provisions of this Section 7.04. The Company or the Corporation shall, or shall cause
their respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and maintain property, casualty and liability
insurance in types and at levels customary for companies of similar size engaged in similar lines of business, as determined in
good faith by the Manager, and the Company or the Corporation shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially
reasonable efforts to purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including employment practices coverage)
with a carrier and in an amount that is necessary or desirable as determined in good faith by the Manager.

    	 	32	 

     

    

(d)               
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification and advancement of expenses to be provided
by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only and no Member
(unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal
liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital
Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company.

 

(e)               
If this Section 7.04 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction,
then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7.04 to
the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 7.04 that shall not have been invalidated and to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

Section 7.05           
Members’ Right to Act. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Members shall not have any voting
rights with respect to the Units. To the extent this Agreement requires the approval of the Members, the Members shall act through
meetings or written consents as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below:

 

(a)               
Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, acts by the Members holding a majority of the outstanding Units
entitled to vote on such matter, voting together as a single class, shall be the acts of the Members. Any Member entitled to vote
at a meeting of Members may authorize another person or persons to act for it by proxy. An electronic mail, telegram, telex, cablegram
or similar transmission by the Member, or a photographic, photostatic, .PDF, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed
by the Member shall (if stated thereon) be treated as a proxy executed in writing for purposes of this Section 7.05(a).
A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and that the proxy is coupled
with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary,
a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise
all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or, if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by
that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to
recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the votes that are the subject of such proxy
are to be voted with respect to such issue.

 

(b)               
The actions by the Members permitted hereunder may be taken at a meeting called by the Manager or by the Members holding
a majority of the Units entitled to vote on such matter on at least forty eight (48) hours’ prior written notice to the other
Members entitled to vote, which notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called. The actions
taken by the Members entitled to vote or consent at any meeting (as opposed to by written consent), however called and noticed,
shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or
after the meeting, the Members entitled to vote or consent as to whom it was improperly held signs a written waiver of notice or
a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The actions by the Members entitled to vote or
consent may be taken by vote of the Members entitled to vote or consent at a meeting or by written consent, so long as such consent
is signed by Members having not less than the minimum number of Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Reasonably prompt notice of the action so taken,
which shall state the purpose or purposes for which such consent is required and may be delivered via email, without a meeting
shall be given to those Members entitled to vote or consent who have not consented in writing; provided, however,
that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken by such written consent. Any action
taken pursuant to such written consent of the Members shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Members at a meeting
thereof.

TAX MATTERS

 

Section 9.01           
Preparation of Tax Returns. The Manager shall arrange, at the Company’s expense, for the preparation and timely
filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company. On or before each date that a Member’s estimated Taxes are
due for each Taxable Year, the Company shall send to each Person who was a Member at any time during the prior quarter, an estimate
of such Member’s state tax apportionment information and allocations to the Members of taxable income, gains, losses, deductions

credits for such Taxable Year, (C) a completed IRS Schedule K-1 and (D) all other information reasonably requested and necessary

(a)               
Subject to the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall designate each year a “partnership representative” of
the Company pursuant to Code Section 6223(a) and any corresponding state or local law (the “Partnership Representative”),
which may be the Corporation and shall be the Corporation if no other person is designated. The Partnership Representative shall
designate from time to time a “designated individual” to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative, and such
designated individual shall be subject to replacement by the Partnership Representative. The Partnership Representative shall have
the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, for the Partnership Representative as provided
in Code Sections 6222 through 6241, any Treasury Regulations issued or other guidance thereunder and any comparable state or local
law (the “Partnership Tax Audit Rules”), and is authorized and required to represent the Company (at
the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting
administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services reasonably incurred in connection
therewith; provided that the Partnership Representative shall not elect to apply the Partnership Tax Audit Rules for any taxable
year beginning prior to January 1, 2018. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Company and to do or refrain from doing any or
all things reasonably requested by the Company with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. The Partnership Representative
shall keep all Members fully advised on a current basis of any contacts by or discussions with the tax authorities. All expenses
incurred by the Partnership Representative in connection with the Company shall be borne by the Company. Any amounts paid by the
Partnership Representative on behalf of the Company shall constitute an advance to the Company subject to reimbursement and not
a contribution to its capital. The Partnership Representative is authorized to employ such accountants, attorneys and agents as
it, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines are necessary to or useful in the performance of its duties. In the event the
Person serving as the Partnership Representative resigns or ceases to be the Partnership Representative for any reason, a successor
Partnership Representative shall be appointed by the Corporation. Any person who serves as the Partnership Representative shall
not be liable to the Company or any Member for any action it takes or fails to take in such capacity, unless such action or failure
to act constitutes bad faith, willful misconduct, fraud or a material breach of this Agreement. The Company shall indemnify the
Partnership Representative as provided in Section 7.04.

 

(b)               
If the Company receives a notice of final partnership adjustment from the Internal Revenue Service, the Partnership Representative
may (i) elect to apply the provisions of Section 6225 of the Code with respect to any imputed underpayment arising from such adjustment
and/or (ii) cause the Company to (x) elect the application of Section 6226 of the Code, with respect to any imputed underpayment
arising from such adjustment, and (y) furnish to each Member, and former Member (as applicable), a statement of such Member’s
share (based on the year to which such adjustment relates) of any adjustment to income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (as determined
in the notice of final partnership adjustment).

 

(c)               
Upon the Partnership Representative’s request, each Member shall provide to the Partnership Representative within
the required time frame any information that the Partnership Representative believes may be necessary or appropriate to resolve
any tax issue relating to the Company or Buddy’s or comply with or be eligible to invoke any aspect of the Partnership Tax
Audit Rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if for any reason, the Company is liable for a tax, interest,
addition to tax or penalty under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any pre-existing taxes
or penalties of Buddy’s under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules to which the Company succeeds), each Person who was a Member
during the taxable year of the Company or Buddy’s that was audited shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such Person’s
proportionate share of such liability, as determined by the Manager, based on the amount each such Person should have borne had
the Company’s tax return for such taxable year reflected the audit adjustment, and the expense for the Company’s payment
of such tax, interest, addition to tax and penalty shall be specially allocated to such Persons (or their successors) in such proportions.
Any amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence shall, in the Partnership Representative’s sole discretion, (i)
be promptly paid to the Company by such Member or (ii) be paid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding Distribution
and Tax Advances which would otherwise have been made to such Member. The obligations of the Members under this Section 9.03(b)
shall survive the withdrawal of a Member and the dissolution of the Company.

    	 	35	 

     

    

Section 9.04           
Liabilities. The Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all indebtedness that for U.S.
federal income tax purposes is treated as indebtedness of the Company or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries that is treated
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes are nonrecourse liabilities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.752-1(a)(2). Upon the request of a Member, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit a Member to guarantee
a portion of the Company’s debt, which portion shall be treated as a recourse liability for the purpose of Section 752 of
the Code.

 

Section 9.05           
PFIC & CFC Information.

 

(a)               
The Company shall determine, on an annual basis, whether any Subsidiary of the Company is a “passive foreign investment
company,” as defined in section 1297 of the Code (a “PFIC”).  If any Subsidiary of the Company is
a PFIC for any taxable year, the Company shall promptly notify the Members and shall timely provide the Members with such information
and supporting documentation as is required or reasonably requested by the Members to permit the Members (and their direct or indirect
owners) to timely file and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election with respect to such subsidiary pursuant to
section 1295 of the Code.

 

(b)               
The Company shall timely provide each Member with such information with respect to any direct or indirect Subsidiary of
the Company that is a “controlled foreign corporation” as defined in section 957 of the Code (a “CFC”)
as is required or reasonably requested by such Member to timely file any required information returns by such Member (and its direct
and indirect owners).

 

Article

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF UNITS

 

Section 10.01       
Transfers by Members. No holder of Units may Transfer any interest in any Units, except Transfers (a) pursuant to
and in accordance with Section 10.02 or (b) with the prior written consent of the Manager (other than any Transfer by the
Manager); provided, however, that no holder of Common Units (other than the Corporation) shall Transfer a Common
Unit without also Transferring one-fifth (1/5th) of a share of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock to the same transferee
of such Common Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article X shall not restrict any Redemption pursuant to Section
11.01 or Section 11.06.

    	 	36	 

     

    

Section 10.02       
Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in Section 10.01 (other than the proviso to Section 10.01)
shall not apply to any Transfer (each, a “Permitted Transfer”) (a) by a Member to an Affiliate of such
Member, (b) by a Member or any direct or (through a subsequent transfer) indirect transferee of such Member (i) with the prior
written consent of the Manager, (ii) in response to a tender or exchange offer that has been approved or recommended by the Corporate
Board, (iii) in connection with any Change of Control of the Corporation or the Company, (iv) that is an individual (A) to such
Member’s (or such transferee’s) spouse, (B) to such Member’s (or such transferee’s) lineal ancestors, lineal
descendants, siblings, cousins or the spouses thereof, (C) to trusts for the benefit of such Member (or such transferee) or such
persons described in the immediately preceding sub-clause (B), (D) to foundations established by such Member (or such transferee)
or such persons described in the preceding sub-clause (B) of this Section 10.02(b)(iv) or Affiliates thereof, or (E) by
way of bequest or inheritance upon death, or (v) that is an entity to such Member’s (or such transferee’s) members,
partners or other equity holders, or (c) pursuant to a Redemption in accordance with Article XI hereof; provided,
however, that the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall continue to apply to Units after any Permitted Transfer
of such Units.

 

Section 10.03       
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 ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON [DATE], 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 FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF FRANCHISE GROUP NEW HOLDCO, LLC,
AS MAY BE AMENDED, RESTATED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND FRANCHISE GROUP NEW HOLDCO, 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 FRANCHISE GROUP NEW HOLDCO, 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.

 

Section 10.04       
Transfer. Prior to Transferring any Units (other than (i) in connection with a Redemption in accordance with Article
XI or (ii) pursuant to a Change of Control of the Corporation or the Company), the Transferring holder of Units shall cause
the prospective transferee to be bound by this Agreement and any other agreements executed by the holders of Units and relating
to such Units in the aggregate (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), and shall deliver:

    	 	37	 

     

    

(a)               
to the Manager a notice setting forth the name of the proposed Assignee, the number of Units to be Transferred and the proposed
documentation providing for such Transfer, such delivery to be made not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective
date of such Transfer;

 

(b)               
to the Manager an Assignment and Assumption Agreement implementing the Transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Manager, and, if the Units are certificated, an endorsed certificate representing the Units being transferred; and

 

(c)               
to the Manager a Joinder (or other counterpart to this Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Manager) and counterparts
of any applicable Other Agreements.

 

Any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement (including any prohibited indirect Transfers) (A) shall be
void, and (B) the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Units as the owner
of such securities for any purpose.

 

Section 10.05       
Assignee’s Rights.

 

(a)               
The Transfer of a Company Interest in accordance with this Agreement shall be effective as of the date of its Transfer (assuming
compliance with all of the conditions to such Transfer set forth herein), and such Transfer shall be shown on the Schedule of Members.
Profits, Losses and other Company items shall be allocated between the transferor and the Assignee according to Code Section 706,
using any permissible method as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Manager. Distributions made before the effective
date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the Assignee.

 

(b)               
Unless and until an Assignee becomes a Member pursuant to Article XII, the Assignee shall not be entitled to any
of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable Law, other than the rights granted specifically to Assignees pursuant
to this Agreement; provided, however, that without relieving the Transferring Member from any such limitations or
obligations as more fully described in Section 10.06, such Assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of
a Member contained herein that a Member would be bound on account of the Assignee’s Company Interest.

 

Section 10.06       
Assignor’s Rights and Obligations. Any Member who shall Transfer any Company Interest in a manner in accordance
with this Agreement shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights
or privileges, or, except as set forth in this Section 10.06, duties, liabilities or obligations, of a Member with respect
to such Units or other interest (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions of Section 6.08, Section
7.01 and Section 7.04 shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit), except that unless and until the Assignee
(if not already a Member) is admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of Article XII (the “Admission
Date”), (i) such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Member with respect
to such Units or other interest, and (ii) the Manager may, in its sole discretion, reinstate all or any portion of the rights and
privileges of such Member with respect to such Units or other interest for any period of time prior to the Admission Date. Nothing
contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units or other interest in the Company from any liability of such Member
to the Company with respect to such Company Interest (a) that may exist on the Admission Date (including from events occurring
prior to or in connection with such Transfer), unless the Assignee pays such liabilities if then due and owing or, if not then
due and owing or if contingent and unknown, assuming such liabilities in writing reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, in which
case the Transferring Member shall be released from such paid or assumed liabilities, (b) that is otherwise specified in the Delaware
Act and incorporated into this Agreement or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any materially false statement
made by such Member (in its capacity as such) or (c) for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants
by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in the other agreements with the Company. The assigning Member or
its Assignee acting on its behalf shall pay, or reimburse the Company for, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Transfer and admission.

    	 	38	 

     

    

Section 10.07       
Overriding Provisions.

 

(a)               
Any Transfer in violation of this Article X shall be null and void ab initio, and the provisions of Section 10.05
and Section 10.06 shall not apply to any such Transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person to whom a Transfer is made
or attempted in violation of this Article X shall not become a Member, shall not be entitled to vote on any matters coming
before the Members and shall not have any other rights in or with respect to any rights of a Member of the Company. The approval
of any Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such approval in any other or future
instance. The Manager shall promptly amend the Schedule of Members to reflect any Permitted Transfer pursuant to this Article
X.

 

(b)               
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section
10.01 and Article XI and Article XII), in no event shall any Member Transfer any Units to the extent such Transfer
would:

 

(i)                
result in the violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable U.S. federal or state or non-U.S. Laws, including
applicable securities Laws;

 

(ii)              
subject the Company to registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act;

 

(iii)            
in the reasonable determination of the Manager, be a violation of or a default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse
of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in an acceleration of any indebtedness under, any promissory note,
mortgage, loan agreement, indenture or similar instrument or agreement to which the Manager, the Company, or any wholly owned Subsidiary
of the Company is a party, including the Credit Agreements; provided, that the payee or creditor to whom the Manager, the
Company or the applicable wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company owes such obligation is not an Affiliate of the Company or the
Manager; provided, further, this Section 10.07(b)(iii) shall not apply to any Permitted Transfer;

 

(iv)             
result in the Company having more than 80 partners within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1) (determined
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)) or otherwise fail to meet the “private placement” safe harbor,
or any other safe harbor from treatment as a “publicly traded partnership” as described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.7704-1, or may involve membership interests in the Company being traded on an “established securities market” or
a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and any applicable
Treasury Regulations issued thereunder;

 

(v)               
cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” or to be taxed as a corporation
pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (or pursuant to any applicable state
Law), or any successor provision of the Code; provided, further, that this Section 10.07(b)(v) shall apply
to any transaction that would be a transfer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even if such transfer is not a Transfer as defined
herein;

    	 	39	 

     

    

(vi)             
be made without all Governmental Approvals required for such Transfer having been obtained; provided, that to the
extent a Governmental Approval is required in order to consummate a Transfer that is otherwise permissible under this Agreement,
the Company will reasonably cooperate with the Transferring Member and its proposed Assignee by providing all information necessary
to be included with respect to the Company in any application or filing for any such Governmental Approval; or

 

(vii)           
be a Transfer to a Person who is not legally competent or who has not achieved his or her majority under applicable Law
(excluding trusts for the benefit of minors).

 

(c)               
Any Transfer of Common Units made pursuant to this Article X (other than by the Corporation) shall also include a
Transfer to the prospective transferee of a number of shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock that is consistent with the
ratio specified in the definition of “Share Settlement,” and any exercise that is not so consistent shall be automatically
deemed a Transfer of the next highest number of Common Units and shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock that is consistent
with such ratio (unless that would violate any term of this Agreement, in which case such Transfer shall be null and void).

 

Article
XI

REDEMPTION RIGHTS

 

Section 11.01       
Redemption Right of a Member.

 

(a)               
Beginning six (6) months after the Effective Time, each Member (other than the Corporation) shall have the right (the “Redemption
Right”) to cause (i) the Company to redeem all or any portion of its Common Units in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement and (ii) the Corporation to redeem a corresponding portion of its shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation (clauses (i) and (ii), together, a “Redemption”),
in exchange for the Share Settlement; provided, however that the Corporate Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion
and by majority vote, waive the application of the six (6)-month period described in this Section 11.01(a) to permit exercise
of the Redemption Right at an earlier date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Redemption may be effected only if the Corporation
has a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to issue the Share Settlement in connection with such
Redemption (including following the amendment to the Corporation Certificate to increase the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock). To exercise its Redemption Right, a Member (the “Redeemed Member”) shall give written notice
(the “Redemption Notice”) to the Company and the Corporation (the date of the delivery of such Redemption
Notice, the “Redemption Notice Date”). The Redemption Notice shall specify (A) the number of Common Units
that the Redeemed Member intends to have the Company redeem (the “Redeemed Units”), and (B) the number
of corresponding shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock that the Redeemed Member intends to have the Corporation redeem
(the “Redeemed Shares”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (1) any Redeemed
Member must exercise the Redemption Right in respect of both Common Units and shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock held
by such Redeemed Member and not either Common Units or shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock separately, and (2) in no
event shall any Redeemed Member be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right in respect of a number of Common Units and shares
of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock that is inconsistent with the ratio specified in the definition of “Share Settlement”
and any such exercise shall be automatically deemed an exercise of the Redemption Right in respect of the next highest number of
Common Units or shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock, as applicable, that is consistent with such ratio and that results
in a whole number of Common Units being redeemed in connection therewith. By way of example only, a Redeemed Member that holds
10 Common Units and 2 shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock may exercise the Redemption Right with respect to 10 Common
Units and 2 shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock which would result in the issuance by the Corporation to such Redeemed
Member of 10 shares of Common Stock as the Share Settlement for such Redemption, but if such Redeemed Member exercises the Redemption
Right with respect to 5 Common Units and 1.5 shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock, then such Redeemed Member shall be
automatically deemed to have exercised the Redemption Right in respect of 8 Common Units and 1.6 shares of Voting Non-Economic
Preferred Stock and the Corporation would issue 8 shares of Common Stock to such Redeemed Member as the Share Settlement for such
Redemption.

    	 	40	 

     

    

(b)               
Any Redemption shall be completed on the date that is three (3) Business Days following delivery of the applicable Redemption
Notice (unless and to the extent that the Company and the Corporation agree in writing to waive such time periods) (the date of
such completion, the “Redemption Date”); provided, that the Company, the Corporation and the Redeemed
Member may change the number of Redeemed Units and Redeemed Shares subject to, and/or the Redemption Date specified in, such Redemption
Notice to another number (subject to Section 11.01(a)) and/or date by mutual agreement in writing signed by each of them;
provided, further, that a Redemption Notice that includes Redeemed Units and Redeemed Shares that are to be redeemed
for Common Stock may be conditioned on the closing of an underwritten distribution of the shares of Common Stock that may be issued
in connection with such proposed Redemption or any other event that is to occur that is necessitating or giving rise to the delivery
of the Redemption Notice (a “Conditional Redemption”). Unless the Redeemed Member has timely delivered
a Retraction Notice as provided in Section 11.01(c) or has delayed a Redemption as provided in Section 11.01(d),
on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date) (i) the Redeemed Member
shall transfer and surrender the Redeemed Units (including any certificate(s) representing such Redeemed Units) to the Company
and the Redeemed Shares (including any certificate(s) representing such Redeemed Shares) to the Corporation, free and clear of
all liens and encumbrances, and (ii) the Company and the Corporation (as applicable) shall (x) cancel the Redeemed Units and the
Redeemed Shares, (y) transfer to the Redeemed Member the Share Settlement as the consideration to which the Redeemed Member is
entitled under Section 11.01(c), and (z) if the Common Units and/or shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock are certificated,
issue to the Redeemed Member a certificate for a number of Common Units and/or a certificate for a number of shares of Voting Non-Economic
Preferred Stock, as applicable, equal to the difference (if any) between the number of Common Units and/or the shares of Voting
Non-Economic Preferred Stock, as applicable, evidenced by the applicable certificate(s) surrendered by the Redeemed Member pursuant
to clause (i) of this Section 11.01(b) and the number of Redeemed Units and/or the number of Redeemed Shares, as applicable.

 

(c)               
In exchange for its Redeemed Units and Redeemed Shares in accordance with this Section 11.01, a Redeemed Member shall
be entitled to receive the Share Settlement from the Corporation. The Redeemed Member may retract its Redemption Notice by giving
written notice (“Retraction Notice”) to the Company and the Corporation at any time prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date on which such Redemption Notice was delivered by such Redeemed
Member or, if the Redemption Notice specified that the Redemption was a Conditional Redemption, the transaction referred to in
such Redemption Notice shall not have been consummated within five (5) Business Days of the date specified in such Redemption Notice
for the consummation of such transaction. The timely delivery of a Retraction Notice shall terminate all of the Redeemed Member’s,
the Company’s and the Corporation’s rights and obligations under this Section 11.01 arising from the retracted
Redemption Notice.

    	 	41	 

     

    

(d)               
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01(c), a Redeemed Member shall be entitled, at any time prior
to the consummation of a Redemption, 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 Common Stock to be registered for such Redeemed
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) the Corporation shall have failed
to cause any related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement necessary to effect such Redemption; (iii)
the Corporation shall have exercised a contractual 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 Redeemed Member to have the resale of its Common
Stock registered at or immediately following the consummation of the Redemption; (iv) the Corporation shall have disclosed to such
Redeemed Member any material non-public information concerning the Corporation, the Company or its Subsidiaries, the receipt of
which results in such Redeemed Member being prohibited or restricted from selling Common Stock at or immediately following the
Redemption without disclosure of such information (and the Corporation does not permit disclosure); (v) any stop order relating
to the registration statement pursuant to which the Common Stock was to be registered by such Redeemed Member at or immediately
following the Redemption shall have been issued by the SEC; (vi) there shall have occurred a material disruption in the securities
markets generally or in the market or markets in which the 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 Entity that restrains or prohibits the Redemption; (viii) the
Corporation shall have failed to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Corporation Certificate, the Corporation
Bylaws or the Certificate of Designation, and such failure shall have affected the ability of such Redeemed Member to consummate
the resale of 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; provided, further, that
in no event shall the Redeemed Member seeking to delay the consummation of such Redemption and relying on any of the matters contemplated
in clauses (i) through (ix) above have controlled or intentionally materially influenced any facts, circumstances, or Persons in
connection therewith (except in the good faith performance of his or her duties as an officer or director of the Corporation) in
order to provide such Redeemed Member with a basis for such delay or revocation. If a Redeemed Member delays the consummation of
a Redemption pursuant to this Section 11.01(d), (A) the Redemption Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Business
Day following the date on which the conditions giving rise to such delay cease to exist (or such earlier day as the Corporation,
the Company and such Redeemed Member may agree in writing), and (B) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01(c),
the Redeemed Member may retract its Redemption Notice by giving the Retraction Notice to the Company and the Corporation at any
time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which the conditions
giving rise to such delay cease to exist.

 

(e)               
The amount of the Share Settlement that a Redeemed Member is entitled to receive under Section 11.01(c) shall not
be adjusted on account of any Distributions previously made with respect to the Redeemed Units or dividends previously paid with
respect to Common Stock; provided, however, that if a Redeemed Member causes the Company to redeem Redeemed
Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation 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 Redeemed Member shall be
entitled to receive an amount equal to such Distribution with respect to the Redeemed Units on the date that it is made notwithstanding
that the Redeemed Member transferred and surrendered the Redeemed Units to the Company prior to such date.

 

(f)                
In the event of a distribution (by dividend or otherwise) by the Corporation to all holders of Common Stock of evidences
of its indebtedness, securities or other assets (including Equity Securities of the Corporation), but excluding any cash dividend
or distribution of any such assets received by the Corporation in respect of its Units, then, in exchange for its Redeemed Units
and Redeemed Shares pursuant to a Redemption, a Redeemed Member shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the consideration
set forth in Section 11.01(c), the amount of such security, securities or other property that the Redeemed Member would
have received if such Redemption Right had been exercised and the Redemption Date had occurred immediately prior to the record
date or effective time of any such transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split,
distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after such record date or effective time;
provided, that in order to avoid double counting, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that if the Members (including
the Corporation) receive a pro rata distribution from the Company in accordance with this Agreement (a “Company Distribution”)
and the Corporation makes a subsequent distribution of the proceeds that it receives in its capacity as a Member from such Company
Distribution in respect of its Common Stock, then the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.01(f) shall not apply in respect
of such Redeemed Member to the extent it received its pro rata share of such Company Distribution in respect of such Redeemed Units.
For the avoidance of doubt, subsequent to any such transaction, this Article XI shall apply mutatis mutandis with
respect to any such security, securities or other property received by holders of Common Stock in such transaction.

    	 	42	 

     

    

(g)               
If a Reclassification Event occurs, the Manager or its successor, as the case may be, shall, as and to the extent necessary,
amend this Agreement in compliance with Section 16.03, and enter into any necessary supplementary or additional agreements,
to ensure that, following the effective date of the Reclassification Event: (i) the Share Settlement and the rights of the Members
(other than the Corporation) set forth in this Section 11.01 are equitably adjusted such that the Common Units and shares
of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock are redeemable for the same amount and same type of property, securities or cash (or combination
thereof) that the shares of Common Stock become exchangeable for or converted into as a result of the Reclassification Event (taking
into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security,
securities or other property that occurs after the record date or effective time for such Reclassification Event) and (ii) the
Corporation or the successor to the Corporation, as applicable, is obligated to deliver such property, securities or cash upon
such Redemption. The Corporation shall not consummate or agree to consummate any Reclassification Event unless the successor Person,
if any, becomes obligated to comply with the obligations of the Corporation (in whatever capacity) under this Agreement and the
Certificate of Designation.

 

(h)               
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.01 to the contrary, a Redemption shall not be permitted and shall be
null and void if legal counsel reasonably concludes in writing that such Redemption creates a risk that the Company would be treated
as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Sections 7704 or 469(k) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.

 

Section 11.02       
Contribution of the Corporation. In connection with the exercise of a Redeemed Member’s Redemption Rights under
Section 11.01(a), the Corporation shall be deemed to have contributed to the Company the consideration the Redeemed Member
is entitled to receive under Section 11.01(c). Unless the Redeemed Member has timely delivered a Retraction Notice as provided
in Section 11.01(c) or has delayed a Redemption as provided in Section 11.01(d), on the Redemption Date (to be effective
immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date) (a) the Corporation shall be deemed to have made its Capital
Contribution to the Company in the form of the Share Settlement required under this Section 11.02, and (b) the Company shall
issue to the Corporation a number of Common Units equal to the number of Redeemed Units surrendered by the Redeemed Member in respect
of such deemed Capital Contribution.

    	 	43	 

     

    

Section 11.03       
Reservation of Shares of Common Stock; Listing; Certificate of the Corporation. At all times from and after the date
that the amendment to the Corporation Certificate to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock has been approved
by the stockholders of the Corporation and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement, the Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of issuance upon a Redemption, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon any such Redemption;
provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Corporation from satisfying its obligations in
respect of any Redeemed Units and Redeemed Shares that are to be redeemed for Common Stock in such Redemption by delivery of purchased
Common Stock (which may or may not be held in the treasury of the Corporation). The Corporation shall deliver Common Stock that
has been registered under the Securities Act with respect to any Redeemed Units that are to be redeemed for Common Stock in Redemption
to the extent a registration statement is effective and available for such shares. Without limiting the obligations of the Corporation
under the Business Combination Agreement, the Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Common Stock
required to be delivered upon any such Redemption prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange or over-the-counter
market upon which the outstanding shares of 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). The Corporation covenants that all Common
Stock issued upon a Redemption will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The provisions of this Article
XI shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the corresponding provisions of the Corporation Certificate,
the Certificate, the Corporation Bylaws and the Certificate of Designation.

 

Section 11.04       
Effect of Exercise of Redemption Right. This Agreement shall continue notwithstanding the consummation of a Redemption
and all governance or other rights set forth herein shall be exercised by the remaining Members and the Redeemed Member (to the
extent of such Redeemed Member’s remaining Company Interest). No Redemption shall relieve such Redeemed Member of any prior
breach of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.05       
Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a Redemption
shall be treated as a direct exchange between the Corporation and the Redeemed Member for U.S. federal (and applicable state and
local) income tax purposes. The issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities upon a Redemption shall be made without
charge to the Redeemed Member for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance.

 

Section 11.06       
Change of Control.

 

(a)               
In connection with a Change of Control, the Company and the Corporation shall have the right (the “CIC Redemption
Right”) to cause (i) the Company to redeem all or any portion of each Member’s (other than the Corporation’s)
(a “CIC Redeemed Member”) Common Units in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) the
Corporation to redeem a corresponding portion of such CIC Redeemed Member’s shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation (clauses (i) and (ii), together, a “CIC
Redemption”), in exchange for the Share Settlement; provided, that the Corporation has a sufficient number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to issue the Share Settlement (including following the amendment to the Corporation
Certificate to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock). To exercise the CIC Redemption Right, the Company and
the Corporation shall give written notice (the “CIC Redemption Notice”) to each CIC Redeemed Member.
The CIC Redemption Notice shall specify (A) the number of Common Units that the Company intends to redeem (the “CIC
Redeemed Units”), and (B) the number of corresponding shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock that the Corporation
intends to redeem (the “CIC Redeemed Shares”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
(1) the Company and the Corporation must exercise the CIC Redemption Right in respect of both Common Units and shares of Voting
Non-Economic Preferred Stock held by the CIC Redeemed Member and not either Common Units or shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred
Stock separately, and (2) in no event shall any CIC Redemption be made in respect of a number of Common Units and shares of Voting
Non-Economic Preferred Stock that is inconsistent with the ratio specified in the definition of “Share Settlement”
and any such exercise shall be automatically deemed an exercise of the Redemption Right in respect of the next highest number of
Common Units and shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock that is consistent with such ratio.

    	 	44	 

     

    

(b)               
Any CIC Redemption shall be completed on the date (the “CIC Redemption Date”) that the Change
of Control is consummated (unless and to the extent that the CIC Redeemed Members, the Company and the Corporation agree in writing
to a different date). The Company and the Corporation shall deliver the CIC Redemption Notice to each CIC Redeemed Member at least
ten (10) days prior to the CIC Redemption Date. On the CIC Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the consummation
of the Change of Control), (i) the CIC Redeemed Member shall transfer and surrender the CIC Redeemed Units to the Company and the
CIC Redeemed Shares to the Corporation, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) if the CIC Redeemed Units or the CIC
Redeemed Shares are certificated, the CIC Redeemed Member shall deliver to the Manager certificates representing the CIC Redeemed
Units or the CIC Redeemed Shares, as the case may be, as a condition to the CIC Redeemed Member receiving the Share Settlement
and (iii) the Company and the Corporation (as applicable) shall (x) cancel the CIC Redeemed Units and the CIC Redeemed Shares,
(y) transfer to the CIC Redeemed Member the Share Settlement as the consideration to which the CIC Redeemed Member is entitled
under Section 11.06(c), and (z) if the Common Units and/or shares of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock are certificated,
issue to the CIC Redeemed Member a certificate for a number of Common Units and/or a certificate for a number of shares of Voting
Non-Economic Preferred Stock, as applicable, equal to the difference (if any) between the number of Common Units and/or the shares
of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock, as applicable, evidenced by the applicable certificate(s) surrendered by the CIC Redeemed
Member pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 11.06(b) and the number of CIC Redeemed Units and/or the number of CIC Redeemed
Shares, as applicable. Each CIC Redeemed Member shall execute and deliver all documents, agreements, certificates and any other
instruments and take any and all actions (including waiving or disclaiming any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights in
respect of the CIC Redeemed units and the CIC Redeemed Shares), in each case, that are reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect
such redemption and exchange of CIC Redeemed Units and CIC Redeemed Shares.

 

(c)               
In exchange for its CIC Redeemed Units and CIC Redeemed Shares in accordance with this Section 11.06, a CIC Redeemed
Member shall be entitled to receive the Share Settlement from the Corporation. The Company and the Corporation may retract its
CIC Redemption Notice by giving written notice (“CIC Retraction Notice”) to the CIC Redeemed Member at
any time prior to the consummation of the Change of Control described in such CIC Redemption Notice. The timely delivery of a CIC
Retraction Notice shall terminate all of the CIC Redeemed Member’s, the Company’s and the Corporation’s rights
and obligations under this Section 11.06 arising from the retracted CIC Redemption Notice.

 

(d)               
The amount of the Share Settlement that a CIC Redeemed Member is entitled to receive under Section 11.06(c) shall
not be adjusted on account of any Distributions previously made with respect to the CIC Redeemed Units or dividends previously
paid with respect to Common Stock; provided, however, that if the Company and the Corporation effect a CIC
Redemption pursuant to this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation and the CIC Redemption Date occurs subsequent to the record
date for any Distribution with respect to the CIC Redeemed Units but prior to payment of such Distribution, the CIC Redeemed Member
shall be entitled to receive such Distribution with respect to the CIC Redeemed Units on the date that it is made notwithstanding
that the CIC Redeemed Member transferred and surrendered the CIC Redeemed Units to the Company prior to such date.

    	 	45	 

     

    

(e)               
In the event of a distribution (by dividend or otherwise) by the Corporation to all holders of Common Stock of evidences
of its indebtedness, securities or other assets (including Equity Securities of the Corporation), but excluding any cash dividend
or distribution of any such assets received by the Corporation in respect of its Units, then, in exchange for its CIC Redeemed
Units and CIC Redeemed Shares pursuant to a CIC Redemption, a CIC Redeemed Member shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
the consideration set forth in Section 11.06(c), the amount of such security, securities or other property that the CIC
Redeemed Member would have received if such CIC Redemption Right had been exercised and the CIC Redemption Date had occurred immediately
prior to the record date or effective time of any such transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision
(by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse
split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after such record
date or effective time. For the avoidance of doubt, subsequent to any such transaction, this Article XI shall apply mutatis
mutandis with respect to any such security, securities or other property received by holders of Common Stock in such transaction.

 

(f)                
If a Reclassification Event occurs, the Manager or its successor, as the case may be, shall, as and to the extent necessary,
amend this Agreement in compliance with Section 16.03, and enter into any necessary supplementary or additional agreements,
to ensure that, following the effective date of the Reclassification Event: (i) the Share Settlement and the rights of the Members
(other than the Corporation) set forth in this Section 11.06 are equitably adjusted such that the Common Units and shares
of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock are redeemable for the same amount and same type of property, securities or cash (or combination
thereof) that the shares of Common Stock become exchangeable for or converted into as a result of the Reclassification Event (taking
into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security,
securities or other property that occurs after the record date or effective time for such Reclassification Event), and (ii) the
Corporation or the successor to the Corporation, as applicable, is obligated to deliver such property, securities or cash upon
such CIC Redemption. The Corporation shall not consummate or agree to consummate any Reclassification Event unless the successor
Person, if any, becomes obligated to comply with the obligations of the Corporation (in whatever capacity) under this Agreement
and the Certificate of Designation.

 

Article

ADMISSION OF MEMBERS

 

Section 12.01       
Substituted Members. Subject to the provisions of Article X, in connection with the Permitted Transfer of
a Company Interest hereunder or a Transfer consented to by the Manager, the transferee shall become a substituted Member (“Substituted
Member”) on the effective date of such Transfer, which effective date shall not be earlier than the date of compliance
with the conditions to such Transfer, and such admission shall be shown on the Schedule of Members.

 

Section 12.02       
Additional Members. Subject to the provisions of Article III and Article X, any Person that is not
the Original Member may be admitted to the Company as an additional Member (any such Person, an “Additional Member”)
only upon furnishing to the Manager duly executed copies of (a) a Joinder (or other counterpart to this Agreement reasonably acceptable
to the Manager) and counterparts of any applicable Other Agreements and (b) such other documents or instruments as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as a Member (including entering into such documents as the Manager
may deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion). Such admission shall become effective on the date on which the Manager determines
in its reasonable discretion that such conditions have been satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the books and records
of the Company.

Article

WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION; TERMINATION OF RIGHTS

 

Section 13.01       
Withdrawal and Resignation of Members. No Member shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign as
a Member from the Company prior to the termination of the Company pursuant to Article XIV. Upon a Transfer of all of a Member’s
Units in a Transfer permitted by this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 10.06, such Member shall cease to
be a Member.

 

Article
XIV

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

 

Section 14.01       
Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members or
the attempted withdrawal or resignation of a Member. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon:

 

(a)               
the decision of the Manager (pursuant to a decision of the Corporate Board) together with the Requisite Members to dissolve
the Company;

 

(b)               
a dissolution of the Company under Section 18-801(a)(4) of the Delaware Act; or

 

(c)               
the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.

 

The bankruptcy (within the meaning of Section
18-304 of the Delaware Act) of a Member shall not cause the Member to cease to be a Member of the Company. An Event of Withdrawal
shall not, in and of itself, cause a dissolution of the Company and the Company shall continue without dissolution subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section 14.02       
Liquidation and Termination. Upon a dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall act as liquidator or may appoint
one or more Persons as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final
distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final
distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Manager.
The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:

 

(a)               
as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting
to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through
the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

 

(b)               
the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and
discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities in such amount
and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine) all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including
all expenses incurred in liquidation); and

    	 	47	 

     

    

(c)               
all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members, in accordance with, and subject to, Section
4.01 by the end of the Taxable Year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, by ninety (90) days after
the date of the liquidation). Immediately prior to making distribution set forth in this Section 14.02(c), Profits and Losses
for the taxable year of the Company in which such dissolution occurs and in which such distribution is made shall be allocated
to the Capital Account balances of the Members such that the Capital Account of each Member prior to such distribution equals (to
the extent possible) the distribution to be received by such Members pursuant to such distribution.

 

The distribution of cash
and/or property to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.02 and Section 14.03 below constitutes
a complete return to the Members of their Capital Contributions, a complete distribution to the Members of their interest in the
Company and all the Company’s property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have consented within the meaning
of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for such
funds.

 

Upon a distribution made
to the Members pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14.02(c), the parties hereto hereby agree that each outstanding
Unit (other than any Unit held by the Manager) shall be cancelled and each share of Voting Non-Economic Preferred Stock held by
the Members shall automatically be redeemed by the Corporation for no consideration and shall cease to be outstanding, whether
or not the stock certificates for such shares, if any, are surrendered to the Corporation.

 

Section 14.03       
Deferment; Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.02, but subject to the order
of priorities set forth therein, if upon a dissolution of the Company the liquidators determine that an immediate sale of part
or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss (or would otherwise not be beneficial) to the
Members, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those
necessary to satisfy Company liabilities (other than loans to the Company by Members) and reserves. Subject to the order of priorities
set forth in Section 14.02, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, either
(a) all or any portion of such remaining Company assets in-kind in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(c), (b)
as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(c), undivided interests in all or any portion
of such Company assets or (c) a combination of the foregoing. Any such Distributions in kind shall be subject to (x) such conditions
relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (y) the terms and
conditions of any agreements governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. Any Company
assets distributed in kind will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any),
which shall be allocated in accordance with Article V. The liquidators shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property
distributed in accordance with the valuation procedures set forth in Article XV.

 

Section 14.04       
Cancellation of Certificate. On completion of the winding up of Company assets as provided herein and the Delaware
Act, the Company shall be terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Manager (or such other
Person or Persons as the Delaware Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State
of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions
as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement
until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 14.04.

 

Section 14.05       
Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and
affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 14.02 and Section 14.03 in order to
minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.

    	 	48	 

     

    

Section 14.06       
Return of Capital. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any
portion thereof to the Members (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets).

 

Article
XV

VALUATION

 

Section 15.01       
Determination. “Fair Market Value” of a specific Company asset will mean the amount which
the Company would receive in an all-cash sale of such asset in an arms-length transaction with a willing unaffiliated third party,
with neither party having any compulsion to buy or sell, consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event
occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in
connection with such sale), as such amount is determined by the Manager (or, if pursuant to Section 14.02, the liquidators) in
its good faith judgment using all factors, information and data it deems to be pertinent.

 

Section 15.02       
Dispute Resolution. If any Member or Members dispute the accuracy of any determination of Fair Market Value in accordance
with Section 15.01, and the Manager and such Member(s) are unable to agree on the determination of the Fair Market Value
of any asset of the Company, the Manager and such Member(s) shall each select a nationally recognized investment banking firm experienced
in valuing securities of closely-held companies such as the Company in the Company’s industry (the “Appraisers”),
who shall each determine the Fair Market Value of the asset or the Company (as applicable) in accordance with the provisions of
Section 15.01. The Appraisers shall be instructed to give written notice of their determination of the Fair Market Value
of the asset or the Company (as applicable) within thirty (30) days of their appointment as Appraisers. If Fair Market Value as
determined by an Appraiser is higher than the Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser by 10% or more, and the Manager
and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the original Appraisers shall designate a third Appraiser meeting
the same criteria used to select the original two, and the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the Fair Market Values determined
by all three Appraisers, unless the Manager and such Member(s) otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value. If Fair Market Value as
determined by an Appraiser is within 10% of the Fair Market Value as determined by the other Appraiser (but not identical), and
the Manager and such Member(s) do not otherwise agree on a Fair Market Value, the Manager shall select the Fair Market Value of
one of the Appraisers. The costs, fees and expenses of the Appraisers will be borne by the Manager and any such Member(s) in inverse
proportion to the relative difference between the positions taken by such parties compared to the determination of the Appraisers,
which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Appraisers at the time the final determination of the Appraisers
is rendered. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with
resolving any dispute hereunder before the Appraisers shall be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense.

judgment of the Manager, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)               
The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity,

of the Members agrees to hold the Company’s Confidential Information in confidence and shall not (a) disclose any Confidential
Information except as otherwise authorized separately in writing by the Manager or (b) use any Confidential Information except

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, respectively, in violation of this Agreement; (iii) is approved for release by written authorization of the chief executive

the knowledge of such Member, respectively, in violation of any obligation of confidentiality owed to the Company with respect
to such information; or (v) is or becomes independently developed by such Member or its representatives without use or reference
to the Confidential Information.

 

Section 16.03       
Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in writing by the Manager, subject to the prior written consent
of the Requisite Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification (whether by amendment, merger, division,
recapitalization or otherwise) (a) to this Section 16.03 may be made without the prior written consent of the Requisite

preferences or privileges of any Company Interests in a manner that is disproportionate relative to any other Company Interests,
may be made without the approval of a majority in interest of the Members holding the Company Interests affected in such a different
or prejudicial manner, (d) that materially and adversely alters or changes any rights, preferences or privileges of a holder of
any class of Company Interests in a manner that is disproportionate relative to any other holder of the same class of Company Interests,

without the approval of the Members (excluding, for this purpose, the Corporation) holding a majority of the issued and outstanding
Common Units held by Members other than the Corporation, and (f) to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which terms
and conditions expressly require the approval or action of certain Persons may be made without obtaining the consent of the requisite
number or specified percentage of such Persons who are entitled to approve or take action on such matter; provided, that
the Manager, acting alone, may amend this Agreement to reflect, implement or authorize (i) the issuance of additional Units or
Equity Securities in accordance with Section 3.04 so long as the rights, preferences or privileges of such Units or Equity
Securities with respect to voting, liquidation, redemption, conversion or distributions are not senior to or on parity with the
Common Units, or (ii) any Redemption.

hereto and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives

capital or property other than as a secured creditor.

 

Section 16.08       
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, regardless of how long such failure continues.

 

Section 16.09       
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be an original and all
of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement binding on all the parties hereto.

    	 	52	 

     

    

Section 16.10       
Applicable Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may
be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law
or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application
of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any dispute relating hereto shall be heard exclusively in the
state or federal courts of the State of Delaware, and the parties irrevocably agree to jurisdiction and venue therein. Service
of process with respect thereto may be made upon any party hereto by emailing or mailing such party hereto at its email address
or mailing address, as applicable, as provided in Section 16.05, which will be deemed effective service of process on such
party.

 

Section 16.11       
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES
AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND,
THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THE PERFORMANCE
OF SERVICES HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT
OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE
THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A CLAIM, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED AND UNDERSTANDS THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C)
SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 16.11.

 

Section 16.12       
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect
under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other
provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed
and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

 

Section 16.13       
Further Action. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain
from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.

Conflict. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and (a) any provision of the
Certificate, (b) the Corporation Certificate, (c) the Corporation Bylaws, (d) the Certificate of Designation, or (e) any mandatory,
non-waivable provision of the Delaware Act or the DGCL, such provision of the Certificate, the Corporation Certificate, the Corporation
Bylaws, the Certificate of Designation, the Delaware Act or the DGCL shall control, provided, that if any provision of the
Delaware Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in the agreement of a limited liability company (or otherwise by agreement
of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety
if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter.

 

Section 16.15       
Right of Offset. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum (other than pursuant to Article IV) to any Member,
any amounts that such Member owes to the Company which are not the subject of good faith dispute may be deducted from that sum
before payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the distribution of Units to the Corporation shall not be subject to this Section
16.15.

    	 	53	 

     

    

Section 16.16       
Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection
with this Agreement or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of
an electronic transmission, including by a facsimile machine, .PDF or via email, shall be treated in all manner and respects as
an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed
version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party
hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such
agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic transmission by a facsimile machine or via email to deliver a signature
or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through such electronic transmission
as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

 

Section 16.17       
Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective on the date hereof as of the Business Combination Closing (the “Effective
Time”). The Original LLC Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of the Company and the Corporation in
its capacity as a Member of the Company prior to the Effective Time.

 

Section 16.18       
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and those documents expressly referred to herein (including the Business Combination
Agreement, the Certificate, the Corporation Certificate, the Corporation Bylaws, the Equity Plans, the Tax Receivable Agreement
and the Certificate of Designation) embody the entire agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any
prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject
matter hereof in any way. For the avoidance of doubt, the Original LLC Agreement is superseded in its entirety by this Agreement
as of the Effective Time and shall be of no further force and effect thereafter.

 

Section 16.19       
Remedies. Each Member shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies
which such Person has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such Person has
under any Law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement
or any other agreements contemplated hereby shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other
security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted
by Law.

 

Section 16.20       
Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only
and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement
shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include
the plural and vice versa. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than
by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise
modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof, and references to all attachments thereto
and instruments incorporated therein. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment or other
modification to any agreement, document or instrument that requires the consent of any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or any other agreement will be given effect hereunder unless such Person has consented in writing to such amendment or modification.
Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law as 

    	 	54	 

     

    

from time
to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor Laws. All references to any period of
days shall be deemed to be to the relevant number of calendar days unless otherwise specified. When calculating the period of time
before which, within which or following which, any act is to be done or step taken under this Agreement, the date that is the reference
date in calculating such period will be included, and if the last day of a period measured in Business Days is a non-Business Day,
the period in question will end on the next succeeding Business Day. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year
shall refer to a portion thereof. The use of the words “or,” “either” and “any” shall not be
exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity
or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto,
and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions
of this Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but
solely to the extent of such conflict.
