(a)Procedure.

The applicable Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless the TRA Representative, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving any Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Corporation with notice of an objection to such Schedule (an “Objection Notice”) made in good faith. A Schedule shall also become final and binding upon the TRA Representative confirming in writing that it shall not provide an Objection Notice with respect to such Schedule. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in any Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of such Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.
(b)Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the Corporation (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided to the TRA Representative, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the


Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change (relative to the amounts in the original Schedule) in the Realized Tax Benefit for the relevant federal Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to a Taxable Year, or (v) to reflect a change (relative to the amounts in the original Schedule) in the Realized Tax Benefit for the relevant federal Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for a Taxable Year (such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”); provided, however, that an amendment under clause (i) attributable to an audit of a Tax Return by an applicable Taxing Authority shall not be made on an Amended Schedule unless and until there has been a Determination with respect to such change. The Corporation shall provide any Amended Schedule to the TRA Representative within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence of an event referred to in clauses (i) through (v) of the preceding sentence, and any such Amended Schedule shall be subject to approval procedures similar to those described in Section 2.03(a).

over the Realized Tax Benefit reflected on the previous Tax Benefit Schedule for such previous Taxable Year, minus (iii) the excess (if any) of the Realized Tax Benefit reflected on a previous Tax Benefit Schedule for a previous federal Taxable Year over the Realized Tax Benefit reflected on an Amended Schedule for such previous Taxable Year; provided, however, that, to the extent the excess amounts described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this definition were taken into account in determining any Tax Benefit Payment in a preceding federal Taxable Year, such amounts shall not be taken into account in determining a Tax Benefit Payment attributable to any other Taxable Year; provided, further, that the TRA Parties shall not be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Interest Amount” for a federal Taxable Year shall equal the interest on any Net Tax Benefit for such Taxable Year calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation’s U.S. federal income Tax Return with respect to Taxes for the Taxable Year for which the Net Tax Benefit is being measured through the applicable Payment Date; provided, that, in the case of a state or local Taxable Year of a Taxable Entity that ends within and not with such federal Taxable Year, the interest on the portion of the Net Tax Benefit attributable to such state or local Taxable Year shall be calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Taxable Entity’s corresponding state or local income Tax Return with respect to Taxes for such state or local Taxable Year through the applicable Payment Date.
Section III.02.No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intention. It is intended that 85% of all Realized Tax Benefits for all Taxable Years (in addition to the Interest Amounts contemplated by this Agreement) be paid by the Corporation (subject to the provisions of Article IV).
Section III.03.Special Rule for Compensatory Payments.
(a)General Rule. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Compensatory Payments shall, except as provided in Section 3.03(b) and Section 3.03(c), be made under this Agreement other than on the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date. On the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date, the Corporation shall pay to each Award Holder an amount equal to the sum of (x) all Compensatory Payments that, but for this Section 3.03, would have been made to such TRA Party prior to the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date, plus interest (at a rate of 120% of the applicable federal longterm rate (as prescribed under Section 1274(d) of the Code)) on each such Compensatory Payment from the date such payment would have been made (absent this Section 3.03) through the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date, (y) an amount equal to the Corporation’s good faith estimate of the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date, of all Compensatory Payments that would have been made hereunder (absent this Section 3.03) to the applicable TRA Party subsequent to the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date, and (z) the amount set forth in Section 3.03(e). No TRA Party shall have a right to receive any Compensatory Payments (other than the payment contemplated by the preceding sentence) with respect to any ITR Payments made subsequent to the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date.
(b)Change of Control. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 3.03(a), in the event of a Change of Control that constitutes a “change in control event” (within the meaning of


Section 409A of the Code) prior to the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date, the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date shall be deemed to be the date of such Change of Control.
(c)Limited Early Cashout. The Corporation, after obtaining the prior written consent of the TRA Representative, may deem the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date to be a date prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, but only to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A3(j)(4).
(d)Special Rules Affect Only Timing. For clarity, for purposes of determining amounts that would be payable pursuant to Article II, this Article III (other than this Section 3.03) and Article IV in respect of portions of the Applicable Percentage attributable to Stock Awards, all determinations shall be made as if all Compensatory Payments that would, absent this Section 3.03, have been made prior to the date of the applicable determination had in fact been made on the dates they would have been made absent this Section 3.03.
(e)Special Forfeiture Rule. In the event that a TRA Party forfeits all or any portion of a Stock Award subsequent to the date that, but for this Section 3.03, a Compensatory Payment in respect of such forfeited Stock Award or portion thereof, as applicable, would have been made to such TRA Party, such Compensatory Payment (and all interest thereon) shall be forfeited concurrently with the forfeiture of the underlying Stock Award and shall not be distributed pursuant to this Section 3.03; provided, that, such forfeited amount (and all interest thereon) shall be paid by the Corporation on the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date to the TRA Parties (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the TRA Party that incurred the forfeiture) on a pro rata basis based on each TRA Party’s Attributable Percentage as of the Compensatory Payment Settlement Date.
ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION
Section IV.01.Termination, Early Termination and Breach of Agreement.
(a)The Corporation may terminate this Agreement (other than in respect of Award Holders) by paying each TRA Party its share (based on such TRA Party’s Applicable Percentage) of the Early Termination Payment. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporation to the TRA Parties, no Taxable Entity shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and the TRA Representative as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Date (except to the extent that such amount is included in the Early Termination Payment) other than any Compensatory Payments subsequently due under Section 3.03; and any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including such date (except to the extent that such amount is included in the Early Termination Payment).
(b)In the event that the Corporation breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, a failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then


all obligations hereunder shall accelerate, and such obligations shall be calculated and finalized pursuant to this Article IV as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach; (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and the TRA Representative as due and payable but as yet unpaid (except to the extent that such amount is included in the Early Termination Payment); and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including such date (except to the extent that such amount is included in the Early Termination Payment). Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 7.06(a), the TRA Representative is the only person that may assert the Corporation has breached any of its material obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation breaches this Agreement, the TRA Representative shall be entitled to elect for the TRA Parties to receive the amounts set forth in (1), (2) and (3) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due; provided, that, in the event that payment is not made within three months of the date such payment is due, the TRA Representative shall, prior to claiming a breach by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) for making untimely payments, be required to give written notice to the Corporation that the Corporation has breached its material obligations, and so long as such payment is made within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such notice to the Corporation, the Corporation shall no longer be deemed to be in breach of its material obligations under this Agreement as a result of such untimely payments. The parties agree that any breach of Section 7.13 of this Agreement by the Corporation (without obtaining the advance written consent of the TRA Representative) shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement.
(c)Acceleration Upon a Credit Event. In the event that either party becomes aware that the circumstances described in clause (iii) in the definition of Credit Event exist and are continuing, such party shall provide written notice to the other party (the “Credit Event Notice”). In the event that any such Credit Event is continuing thirty days after delivery of such Credit Event Notice, or upon the occurrence of an event described in clauses (i) and (ii) in the definition of Credit Event, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated (a “Credit Event Acceleration”) and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of the Credit Event and shall include, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of the Credit Event; (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and the TRA Representative as due and payable but unpaid as of such date; and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including such date (except to the extent that such amount is included in the Early Termination Payment).
(d)Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, all obligations hereunder shall accelerate, and such obligations shall (except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01(d)) be calculated and finalized pursuant to this ARTICLE IV as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of the Change of Control and shall include (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the effective date of


the Change of Control; (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and the TRA Representative as due and payable but as yet unpaid (except to the extent that such amount is included in the Early Termination Payment) and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including such date (except to the extent that such amount is included in the Early Termination Payment). In the event of a Change of Control, the Early Termination Payment shall be calculated utilizing the Valuation Assumptions, substituting in each case the phrase “closing date of a Change of Control” for the phrase “Early Termination Date.” The Early Termination Payment arising as a result of a Change of Control shall be payable on the date of such Change of Control, and the Corporation shall use all reasonable efforts to provide to the TRA Representative an Early Termination Schedule with respect to an expected Change of Control as far in advance as is reasonably practicable of such Change of Control (but no more than thirty Business Days in advance) so as to enable the calculation of the Early Termination Payment to be finalized prior to the date of the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the parties anticipate a Change of Control but are not certain of the date on which such Change of Control will occur, the Corporation and the TRA Representative may agree to base the calculations contemplated by this Section 4.01(d) on a date other than the Change of Control.
(e)Divestiture Acceleration Payment. In the event of a Divestiture, the Corporation shall pay to the TRA Parties, in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, the Divestiture Acceleration Payment in respect of such Divestiture, which shall be calculated and finalized pursuant to this ARTICLE IV as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of the Divestiture (but solely with respect to the Taxable Entities sold in the Divestiture). In the event of a Divestiture, the Divestiture Acceleration Payment shall be calculated utilizing the Valuation Assumptions, substituting in each case the phrase “closing date of the Divestiture” for the phrase “Early Termination Date.”
Section IV.02.Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.01 above, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Representative notice of such intention to exercise such right (an “Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporation’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the information required pursuant to Section 2.02 and the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless the TRA Representative, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the Corporation with an Objection Notice. An Early Termination Schedule will also become final and binding upon the TRA Representative confirming in writing that it will not provide an Objection Notice with respect to such Schedule. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.08 of this Agreement.
Section IV.03.Payment upon Early Termination.
(a)Within three (3) Business Days after agreement is reached between the TRA Representative and the Corporation concerning the Early Termination Schedule or such Schedule is finalized pursuant to the Reconciliation Procedures, the Corporation shall pay to each TRA


Party its share (based on such TRA Party’s Applicable Percentage) of the Early Termination Payment or Divestiture Acceleration Payment. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the applicable TRA Parties, or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and the TRA Party.
(b)The “Early Termination Payment” means, as of the Early Termination Date, the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of all Tax Benefit Payments (other than those payable in addition to the Early Termination Payment, where contemplated by Section 4.01) that would be required to be paid by the Corporation beginning from the Early Termination Date, assuming the Valuation Assumptions are applied, all as may be adjusted further in a manner agreed to by the Corporation and the TRA Representative. For purposes of calculating, pursuant to this Section 4.03(b), the present value of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid (1) it shall be assumed that, absent the Early Termination Notice, all Tax Benefit Payments would be paid on the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation’s U.S. federal income Tax Return with respect to Taxes for each Taxable Year (or the due date (without extensions) for filing the applicable Taxable Entity’s state or local income Tax Returns, to the extent such Tax Benefit Payments are attributable to the portion of the Net Tax Benefit attributable to such corresponding state or local Taxable Year) and (2) any deductions that would have arisen as a result of a portion of any such hypothetical Tax Benefit Payment being treated as Imputed Interest shall be treated as PreIPO Tax Assets available for use in the taxable year in which such Tax Benefit Payment would have been paid based on the application of the provisions of this Section 4.03(b) and the Valuation Assumptions. A simplified example of the calculation of a TRA Party’s Early Termination Payment will be included as Annex B to this Agreement upon the review and approval of such example by the TRA Representative.
(c)The “Divestiture Acceleration Payment” as of the date of any Divestiture means the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of the Tax Benefit Payment resulting solely from the Transferred Tax Assets that would be required to be paid by the Corporation beginning from the date of such Divestiture assuming the Valuation Assumptions are applied; provided, that, the Divestiture Acceleration Payment shall be calculated without giving effect to any limitation on the use of the Transferred Tax Assets resulting from the Divestiture, all as may be adjusted further in a manner agreed to by the Corporation and the TRA Representative. For purposes of calculating the present value pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid (1) it shall be assumed that absent the Divestiture all Tax Benefit Payments would be paid on the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation’s U.S. federal income Tax Return with respect to Taxes for each Taxable Year (or the due date (without extensions) for filing the applicable Taxable Entity’s state or local income Tax Returns, to the extent such Tax Benefit Payments are attributable to the portion of the Net Tax Benefit attributable to such corresponding state or local Taxable Year) and (2) any deductions that would have arisen as a result of a portion of any such hypothetical Tax Benefit Payment being treated as Imputed Interest shall be treated as PreIPO Tax Assets available for use in the taxable year in which such Tax Benefit Payment would have been paid based on the application of the provisions of this Section 4.03(c) and the Valuation Assumptions.


ARTICLE V

LATE PAYMENTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH INDEBTEDNESS
Section V.01.Late Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any ITR Payment not made to the TRA Parties when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such ITR Payment was due and payable.
Section V.02.Compliance with Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Corporation fails to make or cause to be made any Tax Benefit Payment (or portion thereof) when due (other than, for clarity, any Early Termination Payment payable in connection with a Change of Control) to the extent that the Corporation determines in good faith that the Corporation has insufficient funds (after using reasonable best efforts to obtain such funds (including by causing its Subsidiaries to distribute or lend funds and by accessing any revolving credit facilities or other sources of available credit to fund any such amounts), but not taking into account funds of its whollyowned Subsidiaries that are not permitted to be distributed or loaned pursuant to the terms of such agreements or documents and not taking into account funds reasonably reserved for reasonably expected liabilities or expenses) to make such payment; provided, that, the interest provisions of Section 5.01 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Corporation determines in good faith that (x) the Corporation does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by credit agreements or any other documents evidencing indebtedness to which the Corporation or its whollyowned Subsidiaries is a party, guarantor or otherwise an obligor as of the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Debt Documents”) or any other document evidencing indebtedness to which the Corporation or its whollyowned Subsidiaries becomes a party, guarantor or otherwise an obligor thereafter to the extent the terms of such other documents are not materially more restrictive in respect of the Corporation’s ability to receive from its direct or indirect Subsidiaries funds sufficient to make such payments compared to the terms of the Initial Debt Documents, as determined by the Corporation in good faith (any such document, collectively with the Initial Debt Documents, the “Permitted Debt Documents”), or (y) such payments could (I) be set aside as fraudulent transfers or conveyances or similar actions under fraudulent transfer laws or (II) could cause the Corporation and/or its whollyowned Subsidiaries to be undercapitalized, in which case Section 5.01 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate); provided, however, that the failure to make any Tax Benefit Payment shall be a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement upon the oneyear anniversary of the initial due date of such Tax Benefit Payment (i.e., if there was no deferral) and will be treated as if the Corporation elected there to be an Early Termination Notice on such oneyear anniversary.
ARTICLE VI

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION
Section VI.01.The TRA Representative’s Participation in the Corporation’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporation, including the preparation,


filing or amendment of any Tax Return and the defense, contest, or settlement of any issue pertaining to Taxes, subject to a requirement that the Corporation act in good faith in connection with its control of any matter which is reasonably expected to affect any TRA Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall notify the TRA Representative of, and keep the TRA Representative reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporation or other Taxable Entity by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect any TRA Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and shall give the TRA Representative reasonable opportunity to provide information and participate in the applicable portion of such audit.

Section VI.03.Cooperation. Each of the Corporation and the TRA Parties (through the TRA Representative) shall (a) furnish to the other party in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the other party may reasonably request for purposes of making or approving 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 other party and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as the requesting party or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and the Corporation shall reimburse each such TRA Party for any reasonable and documented outofpocket costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.03. The Corporation shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of the TRA Representative, take any action that has the principal purpose of avoiding the use of or reducing utilization of the PreIPO Tax Assets available to it.

Section VII.07.Resolution of Disputes.


(a)Other than with respect to any disputes under Section 2.03, Section 4.02, or Section 4.03 (which are to be resolved pursuant to Section 7.08), any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably between the Corporation and the TRA Representative, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the then existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The parties shall jointly select a single arbitrator who shall have the authority to hold hearings and to render a decision in accordance with the then existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the Corporation and the TRA Representative fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected by the International Chamber of Commerce. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to the practice of law in the State of New York and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq., and judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings.
(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.07(a), either the Corporation or the TRA Representative may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this Section 7.07(b), the TRA Representative (i) expressly consents to the application of Section 7.07(c) to any such action or proceeding, and (ii) irrevocably appoints the Corporation as its agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise the TRA Representative of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such TRA Party in any such action or proceeding.
(i)THE CORPORATION AND EACH TRA PARTY (THROUGH THE TRA REPRESENTATIVE) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK AND AGREES THAT ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF Section 7.07(b) SHALL BE BROUGHT AND DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OR, IF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK REFUSES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK). The parties acknowledge that the forum designated by this Section 7.07(c) has a reasonable relation to this Agreement and to the parties’ relationship with one another.
(ii)The parties 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 Section 7.07(c)(i) and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.


(iii)AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (WITH EACH PARTY HAVING HAD OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL), EACH OF THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
Section VII.08.Reconciliation Procedures. In the event that the Corporation and the TRA Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Section 2.03, Section 4.02, or Section 4.03 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (or the amount of a payment in the case of an early termination, breach of agreement, Change of Control, Credit Event or Divestiture Acceleration Payment to which Section 4.01 applies) (a “Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert in the particular area of disagreement (the “Expert”) mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting firm or a law firm, and the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporation or any of the TRA Parties or any other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Reconciliation Dispute is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of the Reconciliation Dispute is due or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of the Reconciliation Dispute is due, such payment shall be made on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or the amendment of any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporation, except as provided in the next sentence. Each of the Corporation and the TRA Parties shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute, within the meaning of this Section 7.08 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall be binding on the Corporation and the TRA Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
Section VII.09.Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state or local or foreign Tax law; provided, that, other than with respect to compensatory amounts subject to payroll reporting and withholding, the Corporation (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. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the TRA Parties. The Corporation shall provide evidence of such payments to the TRA Parties (through the TRA Representative) to the extent that such evidence is available.


Section VII.10.Affiliated Corporations; Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.
(a)If a Taxable Entity is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax Return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code (other than if the Taxable Entity becomes a member of such a group as a result of a Change of Control or Divestiture, in which case the provisions of Article IV shall control), or a member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group of any corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group (or groups, as applicable) as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group (or groups, as applicable) as a whole.
(b)If any Person the income of which is included in the income of the Corporation’s affiliated or consolidated group transfers one or more assets to a corporation with which such Person does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the Corporation’s affiliated or consolidated group and determining the Realized Tax Benefit) due hereunder, such Person 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 by such entity shall be equal to the greater of (i) the tax basis of such transferred assets and (ii) fair market value of the transferred asset, plus (x) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered asset, or (y) without duplication, the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a transfer of a partnership interest.
Section VII.11.Confidentiality.
(a)Each TRA Party (through the TRA Representative) and each of its assignees acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Corporation is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporation and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person all confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporation or the TRA Parties. This Section 7.11 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of a TRA Party or affiliate in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community, (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for a TRA Party or the TRA Representative to prosecute or defend claims under this Agreement, or (iii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for any TRA Party or affiliate to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each TRA Party and each assignee (and each employee, representative or other agent of such TRA Party or assignee) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and Tax structure of (w) the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, (x) the transactions entered into in connection with the IPO, (y) this Agreement and (z) any of the transactions of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and all


materials of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to such TRA Party or assignee relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure.
(b)If the TRA Representative or any of its assignees commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.11, the Corporation shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.11 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and the accounts and funds managed by the Corporation, and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
Section VII.12.Appointment of TRA Representative.
(a)Appointment. The TRA Representative shall initially be Penelope Group Holdings GP, LLC; and, thereafter, the TRA Representative shall be any such Person that is selected, from time to time, by the Majority TRA Parties. Penelope Group Holdings GP, LLC is, and upon selection by the Majority TRA Parties of a Person to act as the successor TRA Representative pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such Person will thereby be, in each case without further action of any of the Corporation, the TRA Representative or any TRA Party, and as partial consideration of the benefits conferred by this Agreement, irrevocably constituted and appointed, with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of each TRA Party with respect to the taking by the TRA Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the TRA Representative under this Agreement (and any potential agreement with the Corporation to terminate this Agreement earlier than such time as is provided in Section 4.01; provided, that, any payment made by the Corporation upon such an early termination shall be paid to each TRA Party based on such TRA Party’s Applicable Percentage). The power of attorney granted herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and may be delegated by the TRA Representative. No bond shall be required of the TRA Representative, and the TRA Representative shall receive no compensation for its services.
(b)Expenses. If at any time the TRA Representative shall incur outofpocket expenses in connection with the exercise of its duties hereunder, upon written notice to the Corporation from the TRA Representative of documented costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants) incurred by the TRA 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 Corporation shall reduce any future payments (if any) due to the TRA Parties hereunder pro rata (based on their respective Applicable Percentages in the Corporation) by the amount of such expenses which it shall instead remit directly to the TRA 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 Representative shall not be required to expend any of its own funds (though, for the avoidance of doubt, it may do so at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion).


(c)Limitation on Liability. The TRA Representative shall not be liable to any TRA Party for any act of the TRA 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 Representative (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such action or omission being made in good faith and with reasonable judgment). The TRA 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 Representative (and any cost or expense incurred by the TRA Representative in connection therewith and herewith and not previously reimbursed pursuant to subsection (b) above) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, 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 Representative (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of legal counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such action or omission being made in good faith and with reasonable judgment); provided, however, in no event shall any TRA Party be obligated to indemnify the TRA 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. Each TRA Party’s receipt of any and all benefits to which such TRA Party is entitled under this Agreement, if any, is conditioned upon and subject to such TRA Party’s acceptance of all obligations, including the obligations of this Section 7.12(c), applicable to such TRA Party under this Agreement.
(d)Actions of the TRA Representative. Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Representative shall constitute a decision of all TRA Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each TRA Party, and the Corporation may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each TRA Party. The Corporation is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by the Corporation in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the TRA Representative.
Section VII.13.Conflicting Agreements. Other than with respect to the Permitted Debt Documents, the Corporation shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any agreement or indenture or any amendment or other modification to any agreement or indenture (including, in each case, in connection with any refinancing) that would, directly or indirectly, restrict or otherwise encumber (or in the case of amendments or other modifications, further restrict or encumber) its ability to make payments under this Agreement in accordance with its terms, including any agreement that would, directly or indirectly, restrict or otherwise encumber (or in the case of amendments or other modifications, further restrict or encumber) the ability of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries to upstream cash (by dividend or loan) to the Corporation to fund amounts payable by the Corporation under this Agreement.
