Benefits
3.1.Severance Pay. Except as provided in Section 3.5, subject to the Participant signing a release of claims prepared by the Company within fifty (50) days of the Participant's termination date, a Participant, other than a Company officer holding the title of Senior Vice President or above, shall be eligible to receive a discretionary payment of twelve (12) months of Base Salary and may also be awarded a discretionary amount based on the 
6

Exhibit 10.1

Participant's target annual bonus. In the case of a Participant who is an officer of the Company holding the title of Senior Vice President or higher, such Participant shall be eligible to receive a discretionary payment of between eighteen (18) months and twenty-four (24) months of Base Salary and may also be awarded a discretionary amount of between one and one-half (1.5) and two (2) times the Participant's target annual bonus, as determined by the chief executive officer, in his sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the severance payment for a Participant is absolutely discretionary and there may be no payment whatsoever.
3.2.Form of Payment. Severance benefits payable to a Participant under Section 3.1 shall be paid in a lump sum no later than sixty (60) days from the date of the Participant's termination of employment. If a payment could be made in either of two calendar years, it shall be made in the later year.
3.3.Other Benefit Plans. Participants, regardless of whether they sign the release of claims required to receive severance payments, who are otherwise entitled to receive severance pay and who are eligible to continue participation in certain welfare benefit plans may choose to continue their participation in accordance with this Section 3.3. Continued participation in such welfare benefit plans is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan documents or insurance contracts in effect on the date of the Participant's termination from employment. Generally, the Participant has the option to elect the currently maintained Participating Company group medical and dental plan that he is currently enrolled for up to eighteen (18) months under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") continuation coverage. If the Participant timely and properly elects COBRA coverage, the premiums for COBRA coverage will be limited to the active employee rate for the initial three (3) months of coverage. At the end of this three (3)-month period, the Participant will be required to pay the full cost for medical and/or dental benefits under COBRA for the remainder of the eighteen (18)-month period. Participation in the Participating Company group medical and dental plan will generally cease on the date the Participant or his dependents become covered under any other medical plan or dental plan.
3.4.Paid-Time Off ("PTO") Program. A Participant, regardless of whether he signs the release of claims required to receive severance payments, shall be paid a single lump sum payment for applicable PTO hours earned but not taken prior to the Participant’s employment termination. PTO time will not be considered for purposes of continued coverage under any of the other various employee benefit plans maintained by the Participating Company.
3.5.Rehired Participants after Receipt of Severance Pay.  This Section 3.5 applies to Participants rehired by a Participating Company or any Affiliate after receipt of severance pay under Section 3.1.
(a)Severance Pay. The Participant will be entitled to keep a portion of his severance pay equal to the number of weeks and/or fraction of weeks between his termination date and the date of rehire. Any remainder must be returned to the Participating Company that paid the severance pay upon rehire or it will be deducted from his wages paid after rehire.
If a Participant is rehired within twelve (12) months of his termination date and again becomes eligible for severance pay due to a subsequent event within twelve (12) months of rehire, subject to the Participant signing a release of claims prepared by the Company within fifty (50) days of such subsequent termination date, the Participant will be eligible to receive the greater of:
7

Exhibit 10.1

(i)the sum of any remaining severance not yet received from the initial termination date in accordance with Section 3.1, plus two (2) weeks of severance pay; or
(ii)two (2) weeks of severance pay.
Severance pay under this Section 3.5 will be paid in accordance with Section 3.2.
(b)PTO. If a Participant is rehired within the same calendar year in which his employment was terminated and he received payment for PTO earned but not taken, he may either retain the payment and forfeit PTO time for which he was eligible prior to his employment termination, or he may return to the Company the amount he received and reinstate PTO time for which he was eligible prior to termination.
3.6.No Vesting. Eligible Employees have no vested right to any benefits set forth in the Plan until such time as an Eligible Employee becomes entitled to receive benefits under Article 2; however, the Participant must timely execute a release in accordance with Section 3.1 to receive any benefits under this Plan.
3.7.Integration with Plant Closing Law(s). To the extent that a federal, state or local law, including, but not limited to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, requires a Participating Company, as an employer, to provide notice and/or make a payment to an Employee because of that Employee's involuntary termination, or pursuant to a plant closing law, the benefit payable under this Plan, shall be reduced by any Regular Wage Base paid during such notice period and/or by such other required payment. Nothing in this Section 3.7, or any other section of this Plan, shall be used to reduce benefits under this Plan because of payments under state unemployment insurance laws.
3.8.Outplacement Services. Any Participant who receives severance pay is eligible for executive outplacement services through a reputable, third party outplacement provider approved by the Company. The Participating Company who employed the Participant will pay the fees for such outplacement services incurred by the Participant within nine (9) months after the Participant's termination, but in all events no payments for such outplacement services will be made after fifteen (15) months following the Participant's termination.

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

 

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

 

“Actual Tax Liability”
means, with respect to any Taxable Year, an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of (i) the actual liability for U.S. federal
income Taxes of the Corporate Taxpayer for such Taxable Year and without duplication, the portion of any actual “imputed underpayment”
imposed directly on OpCo (and any of OpCo’s Subsidiaries treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) under Section
6225 of the Code that is allocable to the Corporate Taxpayer in accordance with the LLC Agreement and the Code, and (ii) the product of
(A) the actual amount of taxable income for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section
6225 of the Code) of the Corporate Taxpayer for such Taxable Year (determined without taking into account any U.S. federal income tax
benefit of any applicable state or local tax deduction), and (B) the Assumed State and Local Tax Rate; provided that, in each case,
if applicable, such amounts shall be determined in accordance with a Determination (including interest imposed in respect thereof under
applicable law). For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the amount described in clause (i) shall take into account any U.S. federal
income tax benefit realized by the Corporate Taxpayer with respect to state and local jurisdiction income taxes (with such benefit determined
by taking into account an assumed deduction based on the amount computed under clause (ii), and disregarding the actual deduction for
state and local jurisdiction income taxes reflected on the Corporate Taxpayer’s income tax return).

 

“Affiliate”
means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled

ARTICLE II

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

 

Section 2.1 Basis Adjustment.
Within 120 calendar days after the filing of the United States federal income tax return of the Corporate Taxpayer for the Taxable Year
that includes the Closing Date and each Taxable Year in which an Exchange has been effected, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to the
TRA Party Representative, in respect of each TRA Party who received (or is deemed to receive) cash or Class A Shares in such Taxable Year
pursuant to an Exchange, a schedule (the “Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail necessary to perform the
calculations required by this Agreement, (a) the actual Tax basis and the Non-Stepped Up Tax Basis of the Reference Assets as of each
applicable Exchange Date, (b) the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Reference Assets Attributable to each such TRA Party as a result
of the Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year and prior Taxable Years by each such TRA Party, calculated in the aggregate, (c) the period
(or periods) over which the Reference Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable and (d) the period (or periods) over which each Basis
Adjustment in respect of such TRA Party is amortizable and/or depreciable. Each Basis Schedule will become final as provided in Section
2.3(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.3(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b).

 

Section 2.2 Tax Benefit
Schedule.

 

(a)  Tax
Benefit Schedule. Within 120 calendar days after the filing of the United States federal income tax return of the Corporate Taxpayer
for each Taxable Year, the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to the TRA Party Representative, in respect of each TRA Party who has received
(or is deemed to receive) cash or Class A Shares pursuant to an Exchange, a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of
the Tax Benefit Payment, if any, any Realized Tax Benefit and any Realized Tax Detriment, as applicable, Attributable to each such TRA
Party for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). Each Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in
Section 2.3(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.3(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b)).

 

(b)  Applicable
Principles.

 

(i)  Subject
to Section 3.3(a), the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease
or increase in the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year attributable to the Tax Attributes, determined using a “with and without”
methodology (assuming that such Tax Attributes are the last items utilized in any Taxable Year). For the avoidance of doubt, the Actual
Tax Liability will take into account the deduction of the portion of the Tax Benefit Payment that must be accounted for as interest under
the Code based upon the characterization of Tax Benefit Payments as additional consideration payable by the Corporate Taxpayer for the
Units acquired in the Exchange. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to the Tax Attributes shall be considered to be
subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local income and franchise
Tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type.

 

    11

     

    

 

(ii)  If
a carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to any Tax Attribute and another portion that is not,
such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology. Except as otherwise required
by applicable law, the parties hereto agree that (A) all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of an Exchange are intended to be treated and
shall be reported for Tax purposes as additional contingent consideration to the applicable TRA Party for such Exchange that has the effect
of creating Basis Adjustments, in each case, to Reference Assets for the Corporate Taxpayer in the year of payment, (B) as a result, such
additional Basis Adjustments will be incorporated into the calculation for the Taxable Year of the applicable payment and into the calculations
for subsequent Taxable Years, as appropriate, (C) the Actual Tax Liability shall take into account the deduction of the portion of the
Tax Benefit Payment that must be accounted for as Imputed Interest under applicable law and (D) the liability for U.S. federal income
Taxes of the Corporate Taxpayer and the amount of taxable income of the Corporate Taxpayer for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as determined
for purposes of calculating the Actual Tax Liability and the Hypothetical Tax Liability shall include, without duplication, such liability
for Taxes and such taxable income that is economically borne by or allocated to the Corporate Taxpayer as a result of the provisions of
Section 5.07 and Section 5.08 of the LLC Agreement; provided, however, that such liability for Taxes and such
taxable income shall be included in the Hypothetical Tax Liability and the Actual Tax Liability subject to the adjustments and assumptions
set forth in the definitions thereof and, to the extent any such amount is taken into account on an Amended Schedule, such amount shall
adjust a Tax Benefit Payment, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.3(b).

 

Section 2.3 Procedures,
Amendments.

 

(a)  Procedure.
Every time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to the TRA Party Representative an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any
Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the Corporate Taxpayer shall also (i) deliver to the TRA Party Representative
supporting schedules, valuation reports, if any, and work papers, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or requested by the TRA Party
Representative, providing reasonable detail regarding data and calculations that were relevant for the preparation of the Schedule, (ii)
indicate which accounting firm, if any, assisted with the preparation of the Schedule and (iii) allow the TRA Party Representative and
its advisors reasonable access to the appropriate representatives at the Corporate Taxpayer and (at the cost and expense of OpCo) at the
relevant accounting firm that prepared the applicable Schedule, if applicable, in connection with the review of such Schedule. Without
limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Corporate Taxpayer shall ensure that each Tax Benefit Schedule or Early Termination
Schedule delivered to the TRA Party Representative, together with any supporting schedules and work papers, provides a reasonably detailed
presentation of the calculation of the Actual Tax Liability (the “with” calculation), the Hypothetical Tax Liability (the
“without” calculation) and identifies any material assumptions or operating procedures or principles that were used for purposes
of such calculations. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on all parties 30 calendar days from
the date on which all relevant TRA Parties are treated as having received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto under Section
7.1 unless the TRA Party Representative (A) within 30 calendar days from such date provides the Corporate Taxpayer with notice of
an objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) or (B) provides a written waiver of such right of any Objection
Notice within the period described in clause (A) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto shall become binding on the date
such waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative, for any reason, are unable
to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of an
Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section
7.9 (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

 

(b)  Amended
Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection
with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in such Schedule, including those identified as a result of
the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date such Schedule was provided to the TRA Party Representative,
(iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax
Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such
Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended
Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year or (vi) to adjust an applicable Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this
Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”) The Corporate Taxpayer shall provide an Amended Schedule to the
TRA Party Representative within 30 calendar days of the occurrence of an event referenced in clauses (i) through (vi) above.

 

    12

     

    

 

In the event a Schedule is amended after such
Schedule becomes final pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or, if applicable, Section 7.9, (A) the Amended Schedule shall not be
taken into account in calculating any Tax Benefit Payment in the Taxable Year to which the amendment relates but instead shall be taken
into account in calculating the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit for the Taxable Year in which the amendment actually occurs and (B)
as a result of the foregoing, any increase of the Net Tax Benefit attributable to an Amended Schedule shall not accrue the Interest Amount
(or any other interest hereunder) until after the due date (without extensions) for filing the United States federal income tax return
of the Corporate Taxpayer for the Taxable Year in which the amendment actually occurs.

 

ARTICLE III

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

 

Section 3.1 Payments.

 

(a)  Payments.
Within three Business Days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to the TRA Party Representative becomes final in accordance with Section
2.3(a), or, if applicable, Section 7.9, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to the TRA Parties in cash (by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Party), in accordance with their respective share of such payment
as set forth on the Payment Schedule, the Tax Benefit Payment determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b) for such Taxable Year that
is Attributable to each such TRA Party. Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Party to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer
and such TRA Party. The payments provided for pursuant to the above sentence shall be computed separately for each TRA Party. For the
avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated tax payments, including federal estimated income tax
payments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the election of a TRA Party (specified in the Exchange Notice with respect
to an applicable Exchange or by providing written notice to the Corporate Taxpayer at the Closing with respect to the purchase), the aggregate
Tax Benefit Payments in respect of such Exchange (other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code) shall not exceed, as specified
by a TRA Party, 50% of the fair market value of the Class A Shares or cash received in the relevant Exchange. Without limiting the Corporate
Taxpayer’s ability to make offsets against Tax Benefit Payments to the extent permitted by Section 3.5, no TRA Party shall
be required under any circumstances to make a payment or return a payment to the Corporate Taxpayer in respect of any portion of any Tax
Benefit Payment previously paid by the Corporate Taxpayer to such TRA Party (including any portion of any Early Termination Payment).

 

(b)  A
“Tax Benefit Payment” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the
sum of the portion of the Net Tax Benefit that is Attributable to such TRA Party and the Interest Amount with respect thereto. For the
avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Interest Amount shall not be treated as interest (to the extent permitted by applicable law
and other than amounts accounted for as Imputed Interest), but instead shall be treated as additional consideration for the acquisition
of Units in the applicable Exchange, unless otherwise required by law. Subject to Section 3.3(a), the “Net Tax Benefit”
for a Taxable Year means an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such
Taxable Year over the total amount of payments previously made under this Section 3.1 (excluding payments attributable to Interest
Amounts); provided that if there is no such excess (or a deficit exists), no TRA Party shall be required to make payment (or return
a payment) to the Corporate Taxpayer in respect of any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Interest Amount”
means an amount equal to the interest on the Net Tax Benefit calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for
filing the Corporate Taxpayer Return with respect to Taxes for such Taxable Year until the payment date under Section 3.1(a). The
Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each Exchange, on a Unit by Unit basis by reference
to the resulting Basis Adjustment to the Corporate Taxpayer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the
date of a Change of Control that occurs after the Closing Date, all Tax Benefit Payments, whether paid with respect to the Units that
were Exchanged (i) prior to the date of such Change of Control or (ii) on or after the date of such Change of Control, shall be calculated
by utilizing the assumptions (i), (iii) and (iv) set forth in the definition of Valuation Assumptions, substituting, in each case, the
terms “the closing date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.”

 

    13

     

    

 

Section 3.2 No Duplicative
Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will result in the payments specified in Section 3.1 being made
to the TRA Parties and will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. The provisions
of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to ensure such intentions are realized.

 

Section 3.3 Payments;
Coordination of Benefits With Other Tax Receivable Agreements.

 

(a)  Notwithstanding
anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate Tax benefit of the Corporate Taxpayer with respect to
the Basis Adjustments or Imputed Interest is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient
taxable income, the Net Tax Benefit for the Corporate Taxpayer shall be allocated among all TRA Parties eligible for payments under this
Agreement in proportion to the respective amounts of Net Tax Benefit that would have been allocated to each such TRA Party if the Corporate
Taxpayer had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation. To the extent any part of the limitation on the Tax benefit
is allocated in a manner that differs from the order prescribed in the applicable rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations regarding
the utilization, or deemed utilization, of such Tax items, appropriate adjustments, consistent with the principles of this Section 3.3,
shall be made in future Taxable Years to take into account such differing allocation.

 

(b)  If
for any reason (including as contemplated by Section 3.3(a)) the Corporate Taxpayer does not fully satisfy its payment obligations
to make all Tax Benefit Payments due under this Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then the Corporate Taxpayer and the
TRA Parties agree that no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any subsequent Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments in
respect of prior Taxable Years have been made in full.

 

(c)  The
effect of any other similar tax receivable agreement entered into after the date of this Agreement (“Other Tax Receivable Obligations”)
shall not be taken into account in respect of any calculations made hereunder.

 

Section 3.4 Sufficient
Funds. The Corporate Taxpayer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that it has sufficient available funds to make all
payments due under this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause OpCo to make distributions to the Corporate
Taxpayer to make such payments so long as such distributions do not violate (a) a prohibition, restriction or covenant under any prohibition,
restriction or covenant under any credit agreement, loan agreement, note, indenture or other agreement governing indebtedness of the Corporate
Taxpayer or its Subsidiaries (including any Senior Obligation) or (b) restrictions under applicable law.

 

Section 3.5 Overpayments.
To the extent the Corporate Taxpayer makes a payment to a TRA Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section 3.1(a) in an
amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to such TRA Party in respect of such Taxable Year (taking into
account Section 3.3) under the terms of this Agreement, then such TRA Party shall not receive further payments under Section
3.1(a) until such TRA Party has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess.

 

    14

     

    

 

Section 3.6 Payment
Schedule. The allocation of the payments hereunder in accordance with the Payment Schedule shall be binding on all TRA Parties and
shall be used by the Corporate Taxpayer for purposes of disbursement of any such payments. In making any payments or disbursements pursuant
to this Agreement, the Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to rely fully on the shares of the TRA Parties as set forth on the Payment
Schedule and shall not be liable to any TRA Party for the accuracy of the determination of such shares. Each of the TRA Parties acknowledges
and agrees that it has agreed to each Payment Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION

 

Section 4.1 Early Termination
and Breach of Agreement.

 

(a)  The
Corporate Taxpayer may, with the prior written consent of the TRA Disinterested Majority, terminate this Agreement with respect to all
amounts payable to the TRA Parties and with respect to all of the Units held by the TRA Parties at any time by paying to the TRA Parties,
in accordance with their respective shares as set forth on the Payment Schedule, the Early Termination Payment due pursuant to Section
4.3 in respect of all TRA Parties; provided, however, that this Agreement shall only terminate upon the receipt of the
Early Termination Payment by all TRA Parties; provided further that the Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice to execute its
termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment
of the Early Termination Payment to all of the TRA Parties, none of the TRA Parties or the Corporate Taxpayer shall have any further payment
obligations under this Agreement, other than for any (i) Tax Benefit Payment due and payable that remains unpaid as of the Early Termination
Date and (ii) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to
the extent that the amount described in clauses (i) or (ii) is included in the Early Termination Payment). If an Exchange occurs after
the Corporate Taxpayer makes all of the required Early Termination Payments, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have no obligations under this
Agreement with respect to such Exchange.

 

(b)  In
the event that the Corporate Taxpayer (i) breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, or (ii)(A) the Corporate Taxpayer
commences any case, proceeding or other action (1) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, seeking
to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition
or other relief with respect to it or its debts or (2) seeking an appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other
similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or it shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors
or (B) there shall be commenced against the Corporate Taxpayer any case, proceeding or other action of the nature referred to in clause
(A) above that remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of 60 days, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations
shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but not be limited
to, (x) the Early Termination Payments calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (y) any
Tax Benefit Payment in respect of a TRA Party agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party as due and payable but unpaid as
of the date of a breach and (z) any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of any TRA Party due for the Taxable Year ending with or including
the date of a breach; provided that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.2 shall apply with respect to
the determination of the amount payable by the Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches this Agreement (and, in the case of a breach of a material obligation other than an obligation to
make a payment, does not cure such breach within 10 business days following receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of written notice thereof),
each TRA Party shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (x), (y) and (z) above or to seek specific performance
of the terms hereof. The parties hereto agree that the failure by the Corporate Taxpayer to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement
within three months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all
purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement by the Corporate
Taxpayer to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement by the Corporate Taxpayer if the Corporate Taxpayer fails
to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer (I) has insufficient funds, or cannot make such payment
as a result of obligations imposed in connection with any Senior Obligations, and cannot take commercially reasonable actions to obtain
sufficient funds, to make such payment or (II) would become insolvent as a result of making such payment (in each case, as determined
by the Board in good faith) (clauses (I) and (II) together, the “Liquidity Exceptions”); provided that the interest
provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment; provided, further, that if the Liquidity Exceptions apply
and the Corporate Taxpayer declares or pays any dividend of cash to its shareholders while any Tax Benefit Payment is due and payable
and remains unpaid, then the Liquidity Exceptions shall no longer apply.

 

    15

     

    

 

(c)  In
the event of a Change of Control, the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide written notice of such Change of Control to the TRA Parties in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.07 of the LLC Agreement and the TRA Party Representative shall have the option,
upon written notice to the Corporate Taxpayer, to cause acceleration of all unpaid payment obligations with respect to Units that have
been Exchanged prior to or in connection with such Change of Control, which shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had
been delivered on the date of such Change of Control and shall include, without duplication, (i) the Early Termination Payments calculated
with respect to such TRA Parties as if the Early Termination Date is the date of such Change of Control, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment
due and payable and that remains unpaid as of the date of such Change of Control and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of any TRA
Party due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, any Early
Termination Payment described in the preceding sentence shall be calculated utilizing the assumptions (i), (ii) and (iii) set forth in
the definition of Valuation Assumptions, substituting, in each case, and in the lead-in to such definition, the terms “date of a
Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.” Any Exchanges with respect to which a payment has been made under
this Section 4.1(c) shall be excluded in calculating any future Tax Benefit Payments or Early Termination Payments, and this Agreement
shall have no further application to such Exchanges.

 

Section 4.2 Early Termination
Notice. If the Corporate Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early termination in accordance with Section 4.1(a), the
Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to each TRA Party a notice (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early
Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporate Taxpayer’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable
detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment(s) due for each TRA Party. Each Early Termination Schedule shall become final
and binding on all parties hereto 30 calendar days from the first date on which all TRA Parties are treated as having received such Schedule
or amendment thereto under Section 7.1 unless, prior to such 30th-calendar day,
the TRA Party Representative provides (a) the Corporate Taxpayer with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith
(the “Material Objection Notice”) or (b) a written waiver of such right of a Material Objection Notice, in which case
such Schedule will become binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer (the “Early Termination Effective
Date”). If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues
raised in such notice within 30 calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporate
Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures in which case such Schedule shall become binding
ten calendar days after the conclusion of the Reconciliation Procedures.

 

Section 4.3 Payment
Upon Early Termination.

 

(a)  Within
three Business Days after the Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to the TRA Parties, in accordance with
their respective shares as set forth on the Payment Schedule, an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment in respect of all TRA Parties.
Such payment shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by each TRA
Party or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party.

 

(b)  “Early
Termination Payment” in respect of a TRA Party means an amount equal to the present value, discounted at the Early Termination
Rate as of the applicable Early Termination Effective Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of such TRA Party that would be required
to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that (i) the Valuation Assumptions in respect
of such TRA Party are applied, (ii) for each Taxable Year, the Tax Benefit Payment is paid on the due date, assuming an extension, of
the U.S. federal income tax return of the Corporate Taxpayer and (iii) for purposes of calculating the Early Termination Rate, LIBOR shall
be LIBOR as of the date of the Early Termination Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, an Early Termination Payment shall be made to each
applicable TRA Party regardless of whether such TRA Party has exchanged all of its Units as of the Early Termination Effective Date.

 

    16

     

    

 

ARTICLE V

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

 

Section 5.1 Subordination.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment required to
be made by the Corporate Taxpayer to the TRA Parties under this Agreement shall rank (a) subordinate and junior in right of payment to
any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of
the Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries (“Senior Obligations”), (b) senior in right of payment to any principal,
interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any Other Tax Receivable Obligation, and (c) pari passu with all current
or future unsecured obligations of the Corporate Taxpayer that are not Senior Obligations or Other Tax Receivable Obligations. To the
extent that any payment under this Agreement is not permitted to be made at the time payment is due as a result of this Section 5.1
and the terms of agreements governing Senior Obligations, such payment obligation nevertheless shall accrue for the benefit of TRA Parties
and the Corporate Taxpayer shall make such payments at the first opportunity that such payments are permitted to be made in accordance
with the terms of the Senior Obligations and Section 5.2 shall apply to such payment. To the extent the Corporate Taxpayer or its
Subsidiaries (including OpCo and its Subsidiaries) incur, create or assume any Senior Obligations from and after the date hereof, the
Corporate Taxpayer shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, endeavor in good faith to ensure that such indebtedness permits the amounts
payable hereunder to be paid.

 

Section 5.2 Late Payments
by the Corporate Taxpayer. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment not made by the
Corporate Taxpayer to the TRA Parties when due under the terms of this Agreement, whether as a result of Section 5.1 or otherwise,
shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit
Payment or Early Termination Payment was due and payable.

 

ARTICLE VI

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION

 

Section 6.1 Participation
in the Corporate Taxpayer’s and OpCo’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the BCA or the LLC
Agreement, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporate
Taxpayer and OpCo, including the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining
to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer shall notify the TRA Party Representative in writing of the commencement
of, and keep the TRA Party Representative reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporate Taxpayer and
OpCo or any of OpCo’s Subsidiaries by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the rights and obligations
of a TRA Party under this Agreement, and shall provide to the TRA Party Representative reasonable opportunity to participate in or provide
information and other input to the Corporate Taxpayer, OpCo and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of
such audit; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer and OpCo shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent
with any provision of the LLC Agreement.

 

    17

     

    

 

Section 6.2 Consistency.
The Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Parties agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including United States federal,
state and local Tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all Tax-related items (including the Basis Adjustments and each Tax Benefit
Payment) in a manner consistent with that set forth in this Agreement or specified by the Corporate Taxpayer in any Schedule (or Amended
Schedule, as applicable) required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement that is final and binding
on the parties hereto unless otherwise required by law. The Corporate Taxpayer shall (and shall cause OpCo and its other Subsidiaries
to) use commercially reasonable efforts (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include taking into account the interests and entitlements
of all TRA Parties under this Agreement) to defend the Tax treatment contemplated by this Agreement and any Schedule (or Amended Schedule,
as applicable) in any audit, contest or similar proceeding with any Taxing Authority.

 

Section 6.3 Cooperation.
Each of the TRA Parties shall (a) furnish to the Corporate Taxpayer in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials
as the Corporate Taxpayer may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under
this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b)
make itself available to the Corporate Taxpayer and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other
information as the Corporate Taxpayer or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in
clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse each such
TRA Party for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.3.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being
understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile

Documents), and the LLC Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written
and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended
to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

conflicts of laws principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

Section 7.5 Severability.

any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify
this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

    19

     

    

 

Section 7.6 Successors;
Assignment; Amendments; Waivers.

 

(a)  Each
TRA Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Person as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in
connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporate Taxpayer (the “Joinder Requirement”), agreeing to become a TRA Party for all purposes of this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, if a TRA Party transfers Units in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement but does not assign to the
transferee of such Units its rights under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Units, such TRA Party shall continue to be entitled
to receive the Tax Benefit Payments arising in respect of a subsequent Exchange of such Units and such transferee may not enforce the
provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an assignee of only rights to receive a Tax Benefit
Payment in connection with an Exchange has no rights under this Agreement other than to enforce its right to receive a Tax Benefit Payment
pursuant to this Agreement. The Corporate Taxpayer may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person
(other than in connection with a Mandatory Assignment) without the prior written consent of the TRA Party Representative (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any purported assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 7.6 shall be null and void.

 

(b)  No
provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by the Corporate Taxpayer (as determined by the
TRA Disinterested Majority) and by the TRA Party Representative and no provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is
in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective (or, in the case of a waiver by all TRA Parties, signed
by the TRA Party Representative); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall be effective if such amendment or waiver will
have a disproportionate and adverse effect on the payments certain TRA Parties will or may receive under this Agreement unless such amendment
or waiver is consented in writing by the TRA Parties disproportionately and adversely affected who would be entitled to receive at least
majority of the total amount of the Early Termination Payments payable to all TRA Parties disproportionately and adversely affected hereunder
if the Corporate Taxpayer had exercised its right of early termination on the date of the most recent Exchange prior to such amendment
or waiver (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Party pursuant to this Agreement since the date of such
most recent Exchange).

 

(c)  This
Agreement and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure solely to the benefit of and shall
be enforceable by each of the parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and
legal representatives. The Corporate Taxpayer shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation
or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporate Taxpayer, by written agreement, expressly to assume
and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporate Taxpayer would be required to perform
if no such succession had taken place (any such assignment, a “Mandatory Assignment”).

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

 

Section 7.8 Waiver
of Jury Trial, Jurisdiction.

 

(a)  EACH
PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN
OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL
TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. THE
PARTIES HERETO FURTHER REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY
WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

 

(b)  Subject
to Section 7.9, each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of first, the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware
or if such court declines jurisdiction, then to the Federal District Court for the District of Delaware, in any action, suit or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and
determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any
other courts. Nothing in this Section 7.8, however, shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other
manner permitted by law or at equity. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding so brought shall
be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity. The parties hereto hereby
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction
or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in this Section 7.8
and the parties hereto agree not to plead or claim the same.

 

Section 7.9 Reconciliation.
In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters
(a) governed by Section 2.3 and Section 4.2 or (b) described in the definition of “LIBOR” within the relevant
period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination
to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both
the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting
or law firm, and unless the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative agree in writing otherwise, the Expert shall not, and
the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer or the TRA Party Representative
or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative are unable to agree on an
Expert within 15 calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed
by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Basis Schedule or an
amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within 30 calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating
to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within 15 calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each
case, after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved
before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting
the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return
may be filed as prepared by the Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating
to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporate Taxpayer except as provided in the next sentence.
The Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative shall bear their own respective costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless
(i) the Expert adopts the TRA Party Representative’s position, in which case the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse the TRA Party
Representative for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding or (ii) the Expert adopts the Corporate Taxpayer’s
position, in which case the TRA Party Representative shall reimburse the Corporate Taxpayer for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.9
shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant
to this Section 7.9 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and each of the TRA Parties and may be entered and enforced in any
court having jurisdiction.

Section 7.10 Withholding.
The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as
the Corporate Taxpayer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision
of state, local or foreign tax law; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer (i) gives 10 days advance written
notice of its intention to make such withholding to the TRA Representative, (ii) identifies the legal basis requiring such
withholding and (iii) gives the TRA Representative an opportunity to establish that such withholding is not legally required. Except
upon an applicable change in law, no U.S. federal income Taxes will be required to be withheld in respect of any payment under this
Agreement to any Person that is a United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code that timely
delivers to the Corporation a properly completed IRS Form W-9. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the
appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was made. The Corporate Taxpayer shall provide evidence of such
payment to the TRA Parties (through the TRA Representative) to the extent that such evidence is available. Each TRA Party shall
promptly provide the Corporate Taxpayer with any applicable Tax forms and certifications (including IRS Form W-9 or the applicable
version of IRS Form W- 8) reasonably requested by the Corporate Taxpayer in connection with determining whether any such deductions
and withholdings are required under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law and shall promptly provide an
update of any such Tax form or certification previously delivered if the same has become incorrect or has expired.

 

Section 7.11 Admission
of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

 

(a)  If
the Corporate Taxpayer is or becomes a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of corporations that files a consolidated,
combined or unitary income Tax Return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local
Tax law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments,
Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated, combined or unitary
taxable income of the group as a whole.

 

(b)  If
any Person the income of which is included in the income of the Corporate Taxpayer or the Corporate Taxpayer’s affiliated or consolidated
group transfers one or more assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with
which such entity does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state
or local Tax law, such Person, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment due hereunder,
shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such transfer. The consideration deemed
to be received in a transaction contemplated in the prior sentence shall be equal to the fair market value of the deemed transferred asset,
plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt
allocated to such asset, in the case of a transfer of a partnership interest. The transactions described in this Section 7.11(b)
shall be taken into account in determining the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, as applicable, for such Taxable Year based
on the income, gain or loss deemed allocated to the Corporate Taxpayer using the Non- Stepped Up Tax Basis of the Reference Assets in
calculating its Hypothetical Tax Liability for such Taxable Year and using the actual Tax basis of the Reference Assets in calculating
its Actual Tax Liability, determined using the “with and without” methodology. Thus, for example, in determining the Hypothetical
Tax Liability of the Corporate Taxpayer, the taxable income of the Corporate Taxpayer shall be determined by treating OpCo as having sold
the applicable Reference Asset for its fair market value, recovering any basis applicable to such Reference Asset (using the Non-Stepped
Up Tax Basis), while the Actual Tax Liability of the Corporate Taxpayer would be determined by recovering the actual Tax basis of the
Reference Asset that reflects any Basis Adjustments. For purposes of this Section 7.11, a transfer of a partnership interest shall
be treated as a transfer of the transferring partner’s share of each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership.

Section 7.12 Confidentiality.

 

(a)  Each
TRA Party and each of their respective assignees acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Corporate Taxpayer is confidential
and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal
process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, such Person shall keep and retain in confidence in accordance with this Agreement,
and not disclose to any Person, any confidential matters acquired pursuant to this Agreement of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates
and successors, concerning OpCo and its Affiliates and successors or members, learned by such TRA Party heretofore or hereafter. This
Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its
Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of a TRA Party in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known,
(ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a TRA Party to assert its rights hereunder or defend itself in connection
with any action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, (iii) any information that was in the possession of, or
becomes available to, a TRA Party from a source other than the Corporate Taxpayer, its Affiliates or its or their respective representatives
(provided that such source is not known by such TRA Party to be bound by a legal, contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligation
not to disclose such information) and (iv) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a TRA Party to prepare and file its
Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any governmental or taxing authority or to prosecute or defend any action,
proceeding or audit by any governmental or taxing authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
each TRA Party and each of its respective assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of such TRA Party or its assignees,
as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons the tax treatment and tax structure of the Corporate Taxpayer, OpCo and their respective
Affiliates, and any of their respective transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are
provided to such TRA Party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

 

(b)  If
a TRA Party or an assignee thereof commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.12,
the Corporate Taxpayer shall have the right and remedy to seek to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced
by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security. Such rights
and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

 

Section 7.13 Change
in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in law, a TRA Party reasonably
believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this Agreement)
recognized by the TRA Party upon any Exchange by such TRA Party to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain (or otherwise
taxed at ordinary income rates) for United States federal income tax purposes or would have other material adverse tax consequences to
such TRA Party, then at the election of such TRA Party and to the extent specified by such TRA Party, this Agreement (a) shall cease to
have further effect with respect to such TRA Party, (b) shall not apply to an Exchange by such TRA Party occurring after a date specified
by such TRA Party or (c) shall otherwise be amended in a manner determined by such TRA Party; provided that such amendment shall
not result in an increase in payments under this Agreement at any time as compared to the amounts and times of payments that would have
been due in the absence of such amendment.

 

Section 7.14 Independent
Nature of TRA Parties’ Rights and Obligations. The obligations of each TRA Party hereunder are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other TRA Party, and no TRA Party shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
TRA Party hereunder. The decision of each TRA Party to enter into this Agreement has been made by such TRA Party independently of any
other TRA Party. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any TRA Party pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the TRA
Parties as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the TRA Parties are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby and the Corporate
Taxpayer acknowledges that the TRA Parties are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Corporate Taxpayer will not assert any such
claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.15 TRA Party
Representative.

 

(a)  Without
further action of any of the Corporate Taxpayer, the TRA Party Representative or any TRA Party, and as partial consideration in respect
of the benefits conferred by this Agreement, the TRA Party Representative is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed as the TRA Party
Representative, with full power of substitution, to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken
by the TRA Party Representative under this Agreement.

 

(b)  If
at any time the TRA Party Representative shall incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the exercise of its duties hereunder,
upon written notice to the Corporate Taxpayer from the TRA Party Representative of documented costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements
of counsel and accountants) incurred by the TRA Party Representative in connection with the performance of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement and the taking of any and all actions in connection therewith, the Corporate Taxpayer shall reduce the future payments
(if any) due to the TRA Parties hereunder pro rata by the amount of such expenses which it shall instead remit directly to the
TRA Party Representative. In connection with the performance of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the taking of any
and all actions in connection therewith, the TRA Party Representative shall not be required to expend any of its own funds (though, for
the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting the provisions of this Section 7.15(b), it may do so at any time and from time to
time in its sole discretion).

 

(c)  The
TRA Party Representative shall not be liable to any TRA Party for any act of the TRA Party Representative arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, except to the extent any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine,
cost or expense is actually incurred by such TRA Party as a proximate result of the bad faith or willful misconduct of the TRA Party Representative
(it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive evidence of good faith judgment).
The TRA Party Representative shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified by the TRA Parties (on a several but not joint basis) for,
any liability, loss, damage, penalty or fine incurred by the TRA Party Representative (and any cost or expense incurred by the TRA Party
Representative in connection therewith and herewith and not previously reimbursed pursuant to Section 7.15(b)) arising out of or
in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, and such liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine,
cost or expense shall be treated as an expense subject to reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.15(b), except to
the extent that any such liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense is the proximate result of the bad faith or willful misconduct
of the TRA Party Representative (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive
evidence of good faith judgment); provided, however, in no event shall any TRA Party be obligated to indemnify the TRA Party
Representative hereunder for any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense to the extent (and only to the extent) that the
aggregate amount of all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines, costs and expenses indemnified by such TRA Party hereunder is
or would be in excess of the aggregate payments under this Agreement actually remitted to such TRA Party.

 

(d)  Subject
to Section 7.6(b), a decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Party Representative shall constitute a decision of all TRA
Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each TRA Party, and the Corporate Taxpayer may rely upon any decision, act, consent
or instruction of the TRA Party Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each TRA Party. The Corporate Taxpayer
is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by the Corporate Taxpayer in accordance with any such decision,
act, consent or instruction of the TRA Party Representative.
