Section 2.4 Closing Estimates.

(a) At least three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Companies shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a written statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) that shall include and set forth (i) a good faith estimate of (A) a consolidated balance sheet of each of (x) the Enhanced Entities, (y) Trident ECP and (z) Trident ECG, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Closing (each a “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet”), (B) (x) Payoff Indebtedness (the “Estimated Payoff Indebtedness”), (y) Cash (the “Estimated Cash”) and (z) Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”) (with each of Estimated Cash, Estimated Payoff Indebtedness and Estimated Transaction Expenses determined as of immediately prior to the Closing and, except for Estimated Transaction Expenses and Unpaid Taxes (included in Payoff Indebtedness), without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements) and (C) on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price, (ii) an updated Schedule 3.28 setting forth all Indebtedness of any Enhanced Entity as of immediately prior to the Closing, including Indebtedness under the heading “Retained Indebtedness,” and (iii) a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) setting forth the portion(s) of the Estimated Purchase Price minus the Rollover Units Value to be received at Closing in cash (such Seller’s “Closing Payment”) and such Seller’s name, address and wire instructions. Estimated Payoff Indebtedness and Estimated Cash shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the most recent Balance Sheet (in each case, to the extent consistent with GAAP). All calculations of Estimated Payoff Indebtedness, Estimated Cash and Estimated Transaction Expenses shall be accompanied by certificates of the chief financial officer of the Enhanced Entities (with respect to the Enhanced Entities only) and the Seller Representative (with respect to the Blockers only) certifying that the applicable estimates have been calculated in good faith in accordance with this Agreement (such certificates, together with such certifications, collectively the “Estimated Closing Statement”).

(b) Without limiting any of the Buyer’s other rights or remedies, the Buyer may reasonably object that any of the foregoing has not been calculated in good faith or in a manner consistent with the terms hereof by delivering in good faith to the Companies a written notice of its disagreement at least two Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date (the “Buyer’s Notice of Disagreement”), specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amounts of its objections to the Companies’ estimates. The Companies and the Buyer in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any reasonable objections set forth in the Buyer’s Notice of Disagreement prior to the Closing, and the Companies shall make such revisions to the disputed items as may be mutually agreed between the Companies and the Buyer; provided, that if and to the extent that the Buyer and the Companies have not resolved all such differences by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date, then (i) the Closing will proceed (subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII), and (ii) the Adjustment Escrow

Amount shall be increased, and the Estimated Purchase Price shall be decreased (and the Allocation Schedule accordingly adjusted), by the aggregate net amount of the items remaining in dispute that were set forth in the Buyer’s Notice of Disagreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any failure of the Buyer to raise any objection or dispute in the Buyer’s Notice of Disagreement shall not in any way prejudice the Buyer’s right to raise any matter in the Final Closing Statement, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.6.

Section 2.5 Interim Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) No later than January 15, 2020, the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller Representative an interim written statement (“Interim Closing Statement”) that shall include and set forth a good faith estimate of (i) Cash as of 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2020 (“Interim Estimated Cash”) and (ii) EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Estimated EBITDA”). The calculations of Interim Estimated Cash and Estimated EBITDA set forth in the Interim Closing Statement shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting documentation and a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Buyer certifying that the applicable estimates have been calculated in good faith in accordance with this Agreement. Within five (5) Business Days of delivery of the Interim Closing Statement, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller Representative an amount (such amount, the “Interim Payment Amount”) in cash equal to (1) the Interim Estimated Cash, less (2) the product of (x) the Estimated EBITDA and (y) the Pro Rata EBITDA Fraction, plus (3) $500,000, less (4) the Final Cash Retention Amount.

(b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2020, the Buyer shall cause the Enhanced Entities to (i) operate solely in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (ii) use Cash solely to pay Accrued and Unpaid Expenses and not for any other purpose (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to make or pay any cash dividend or other distribution on or with respect to any of the equity or ownership interests of any of the Enhanced Entities or make any capital expenditure) and (iii) collect (and not discount) accounts receivable and other current assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

Section 2.6 Post-Closing Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as practicable but within 15 days after the completion of the external audit of the Buyer’s (or any successor’s) financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 (but in no event later than April 30, 2021), the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller Representative a written statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) that shall include and set forth (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Enhanced Entities as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a consolidated income statement of each of the Companies for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Year End Income Statement”) and (ii) a good faith calculation of the actual (A) EBITDA (the “Final EBITDA”), (B) Payoff Indebtedness (the “Closing Payoff Indebtedness”), (C) Cash (the “Final Cash”), and (D) Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”) (with each of Closing Payoff Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses determined as of immediately prior to the Closing, Final Cash shall be determined as of December 31, 2020 and Final EBITDA shall be determined for the year ended December 31, 2020, in each case (except for Closing Transaction Expenses and Unpaid Taxes (included in Payoff Indebtedness)), without giving effect to the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements), together with, in each case, reasonably detailed supporting information containing the components thereof. Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses shall be calculated in accordance with the definitions thereof and GAAP, which shall (x) not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (y) be based on facts and circumstances as they exist on the Closing Date and (z) exclude the effect of any, decision or event occurring on or after the Closing Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that GAAP is not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies that are not, in each case, specifically set forth therein. If the Buyer fails to timely deliver any of the Final Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein in accordance with the foregoing, then, at the election of the Seller Representative in its sole discretion, either (x) the Net Adjustment Amount shall be conclusively deemed to equal $1,000,000 or (y) upon five (5) Business Days advance written notice to the Buyer, the Seller Representative shall retain an independent public accounting firm to provide an audit or other review of the Target Entities’ books and records, review the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price and the Interim Closing Statement and make any adjustments necessary thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.6, the determination of such accounting firm being conclusive and binding on the Parties; provided, however, that the Seller Representative reserves any and all other rights granted to it in this Agreement. The engagement fees of such accounting firm shall be borne as set forth in
Section 2.6(d).

(b) The Final Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, the Seller Representative delivers to the Buyer written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying the nature and amount of any dispute as to the Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses, as set forth in the Final Closing Statement. The Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts of Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement (other than contra accounts and other items and amounts reasonably related to such items and amounts specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement), and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with Section 2.6(c). Any Notice of Disagreement may reference only disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on amounts of the Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses as reflected on the Final Closing Statement not being calculated in accordance with this Section 2.6.

(c) During the 30-day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Seller Representative to the Buyer, the parties in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the computation of the Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses as specified therein. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 408 shall apply to the Buyer and the Seller Representative during such period of negotiations and any subsequent dispute arising therefrom. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Seller Representative and the Buyer within such 30-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Seller Representative and the Buyer agree in writing on the resolution of

each disputed item specified by the Seller Representative in the Notice of Disagreement and the amount of the Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses, the amounts so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder and shall not be subject to appeal or further review. If the Seller Representative and the Buyer have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 30-day period, the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall each make one written submission to an independent public accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and the amounts of the Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item and the amount of the Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. Any item not specifically submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution shall be deemed final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder (as set forth in the Final Closing Statement, the Notice of Disagreement or as otherwise resolved in writing by Seller Representative and the Buyer) and Seller Representative and the Buyer shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Fund and to deliver to the Sellers an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Adjustment Escrow Fund over the greatest aggregate value of such disputed items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm as claimed by Buyer and the Seller Representative. The Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Seller Representative’s and the Buyer’s respective calculations of the Final EBITDA, Closing Payoff Indebtedness, Final Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Seller Representative and the Buyer have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be Grant Thornton LLP or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed in writing by the Seller Representative and the Buyer. The Seller Representative and the Buyer shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days following the submission thereof. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 11.9. In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting Firm will be entitled to the powers, privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.

(d) The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to Section 2.6(c), including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by the Sellers and the Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Final Closing Statement and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

(e) The Buyer and the Companies will, and will cause the Subsidiaries of the Companies (in the case of the Companies, during the period from and after the date of delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement through the Closing Date and, in the case of the Buyer, during the period from and after the date of delivery of the Interim Closing Statement (or, in the event Buyer fails to timely deliver such statement, the last date upon which the Final Closing Statement should have been delivered) through the resolution of any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.6) to afford the other parties and their Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties (to the extent necessary and advisable, in the reasonable discretion of the Companies, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), books and records of the Target Entities and to any other information reasonably requested for purposes of reviewing the calculations contemplated by this Section 2.6 (in each case, in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Enhanced Entities). The Buyer and the Companies shall authorize their respective accountants to disclose work papers generated by such accountants in connection with reviewing the calculations contemplated by this Section 2.6; provided, that any such outside accountants shall not be obligated to make any work papers available except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after the non-client party has signed an agreement relating to access to such work papers in form and substance acceptable to such accountants.

(f) The Estimated Purchase Price shall be adjusted, upwards or downwards, as follows:

(i) For the purpose of this Agreement, the “Net Adjustment Amount” shall be calculated as follows: an amount (which may be positive or negative) equal to (A) (1) the Final Cash (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6), plus $500,000, less the product of (x) Final EBITDA (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6) multiplied by (y) the Pro Rata EBITDA Fraction, minus (2) the Interim Payment Amount; minus (B) the Closing Payoff Indebtedness as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, minus the Estimated Payoff Indebtedness; minus (C) the Closing Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, minus the Estimated Transaction Expenses;

(ii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is positive, then the Estimated Purchase Price shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal thereto. In such event, (A) the Buyer shall pay the Net Adjustment Amount to the account(s) designated by the Seller Representative, and (B) the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to transfer all funds in the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Seller Representative and the Escrow Agent shall do so.

(iii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is negative the Estimated Purchase Price shall be adjusted downwards in an amount equal to the absolute value of the Net Adjustment Amount. In such event, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay the Net Adjustment Amount out of the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Buyer, and the remainder, if any, of the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Seller Representative, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall do so.

(g) Payments in respect of Section 2.6(f) shall be made within three Business Days of final determination of the Net Adjustment Amount pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated in writing by the party entitled to such payment at least two Business Days prior to such payment date.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall serve as the sole and exclusive source of recovery for any amounts owed to the Buyer in connection with the final determination of the Purchase Price and Net Adjustment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.6.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent Estimated Payoff Indebtedness exceeds Closing Payoff Indebtedness (or Closing Payoff Indebtedness exceeds Estimated Payoff Indebtedness), and such excess (or shortfall) is solely attributable to a Blocker, as determined by the Seller Representative and designated in a notice to the Buyer, such excess (or shortfall) shall be solely for the account of the Trident Sellers.

(j) Any amounts which become payable pursuant to this Section 2.6 will constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 2.7 Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement any Taxes that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that Buyer must give such payee advance notice with respect to any such withholding promptly upon Buyer determining that such withholding is required. Any amounts that are so deducted and withheld shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made. If any withholding obligation may be avoided by such Person providing information or documentation to the Buyer, such Person may provide such information in a timely fashion and avoid any such withholding.

Section 5.5 Financing.

(a) The Buyer has delivered to the Seller Representative a true and complete copy of the executed Debt Financing Commitment by and among HPS Investment Partners, LLC, including all annexes, exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto and a corresponding customarily redacted fee letter (none of which redacted terms adversely affect the amount or availability of the Debt Financing or impose any conditions on the availability of aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing), each dated as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Debt Financing Commitment”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, the Debt Commitment Parties party thereto have committed to lend the amounts set forth therein to the Buyer as set forth therein for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (the “Debt Financing”). As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Financing Commitment has not been amended or modified in any respect, no provisions or rights thereunder have been waived and the respective commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn, rescinded or otherwise modified in any respect, nor is any such amendment, modification, withdrawal or rescission currently contemplated or the subject of discussions. As of the date hereof, the Debt Financing Commitment is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Buyer and, to the knowledge of the Buyer, the other parties thereto (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions) and the Debt Financing

Commitment is enforceable against the Buyer and the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies directly or indirectly related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing (including any flex provisions) other than the conditions precedent expressly set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment, and the Buyer has no reason to believe that, as of the date hereof, (i) it or any other party thereto will not be able to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Debt Financing Commitment, including any condition of closing of the Debt Financing that is required to be satisfied as a condition of the Debt Financing, or (ii) the full amount of the Debt Financing will not be made available to the Buyer at or prior to the Closing. Assuming the Debt Financing is funded in accordance with the conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment and assuming that each of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 is satisfied at Closing, as of the date hereof, the aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing, together with available cash and cash equivalents of the Buyer on hand as of the date hereof and on the Closing Date, will be sufficient to (1) pay the Purchase Price upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement, (2) pay all other amounts payable by the Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and (3) pay all related fees and expenses associated with such transaction for which the Buyer or any of its Affiliates is responsible.

As of the date of this Agreement, the Buyer is not in breach of any of the terms or conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates under any term or condition of the Debt Financing Commitment. The Buyer is not aware of any fact, event or other occurrence that makes any of the representations and warranties of the Buyer in the Debt Financing Commitment inaccurate in any material respect. The non-redacted portion of this Debt Financing Commitment contains all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the full amount of the Debt Financing available to the Buyer on the terms set forth therein. Other than the Debt Financing Commitment, there are no side letters or other contracts, arrangements or understandings (written or oral) relating to the Debt Financing that could impair the availability of the Debt Financing. The Buyer do not have any reason to believe that they shall be unable to satisfy, on a timely basis, any term or condition to the availability or funding of the Debt Financing to be satisfied by it contained in the Debt Financing Commitment, or that the Debt Financing shall not be available to the Buyer on the Closing Date. The Buyer has fully paid, or caused to be paid, any and all commitment fees and any and all other fees and expenses, in each case as are required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing Commitment on or prior to the date hereof.

There is no outstanding order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of, or pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened investigation by, any Governmental Authority, that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to impair the ability of Buyer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 6.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) The Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees and agents of each Target Entity, as provided in the Target Entities’ respective organizational documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect and that the Buyer, from and after the Closing, shall cause the Target Entities to perform and discharge the Target Entities’ obligations to provide such indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and the Buyer, from and after the Closing, shall cause the Target Entities to advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the applicable Target Entity’s organizational documents as in effect as of the date hereof or other applicable agreements. For not less than six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation or advancement of expenses provisions of the Target Entities’ respective organizational documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing Date or at any time prior to the Closing Date, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees or agents of any Target Entity, unless such modification is required by applicable law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7, the Buyer agrees that any indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance available to any of the directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees and agents of each Target Entity by virtue of such Person’s service as a partner or employee of any investment fund or manager of any investment fund that is an Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing Date (any such Person, a “Sponsor Director”) shall be secondary to the indemnification, advancement of expenses and insurance to be provided by the Buyer and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.7 and that the Buyer and its Subsidiaries (i) shall be the primary indemnitors of first resort for Sponsor Directors pursuant to this Section 6.7, (ii) shall be fully responsible for the advancement of expenses, indemnification and exculpation from liabilities with respect to Sponsor Directors which are addressed by this Section 6.7, and (iii) shall not make any claim for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of any other indemnification or insurance available to any Sponsor Director with respect to any matter addressed by this Section 6.7.

(c) The Buyer shall (or shall cause the Target Entities to) purchase a “tail” policy providing employees’, fiduciaries’, trustees’, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by the Target Entities’ employees’, fiduciaries’, trustees’, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing. Such a policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Target Entities’ current employees’, fiduciaries’, trustees’, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided, however, that the Target Entities may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date. The costs and expenses of such policy shall be borne 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Sellers.

(d) If the Buyer, any Target Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any individual, corporation or other entity, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of the Buyer or such Target Entity shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

(e) The directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees and agents of each Target Entity entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, advancement of expenses, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 6.7 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7. This Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Buyer.

Section 6.8 Intercompany Arrangements. All intercompany and intracompany accounts or contracts between the Target Entities, on the one hand, and the Sellers and its Affiliates (other than the Target Entities), on the other hand, set forth on Schedule 6.8 of the Disclosure Schedules shall be cancelled without any consideration or further liability to any party and without the need for any further documentation, immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 6.9 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the parties shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, in confidence all documents and information furnished to it by or on behalf of the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of the confidentiality agreement dated as of June 10, 2020, by and between ECG, Holdings and RCP Advisors 3, LLC (the “Existing Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing Date, at which time such Existing Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of the parties under this Section 6.9(a) shall terminate. If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing Date, the Existing Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Following Closing, the confidentiality arrangements between the parties shall be governed by the remainder of this Section 6.9.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, the Companies hereby assign to the Buyer all of the Companies’ right, title and interest in and to any confidentiality agreements entered into by the Companies (or its Affiliates or Representatives) and each Person (other than the Buyer and its Affiliates and Representatives) who entered into any such agreement or to whom confidential information was provided in connection with a business combination involving the Target Entities. The Companies shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Person to return to the Companies any documents, files, data or other materials constituting confidential information that was provided to such Person in connection with the consideration of any such business combination.

(c) Each Seller understands and agrees that any proprietary and confidential information regarding the business conducted by the Target Entities, including, without limitation, any and all trade secrets related thereto (and which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, all information related to its Enhanced Advisory Clients and any investors in any Enhanced Funds) (“Confidential Information”), constitutes valuable assets and, following the Closing, agrees not to, and agrees to cause its controlled Affiliates not to, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information except solely to the extent necessary for any Seller to perform its obligations as an employee of the Companies or the Buyer Group, to enforce any right or remedy relating to, or to perform any obligation arising under, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or in connection with the resolution of disputes and indemnification claims under this Agreement; provided, however, that Confidential

Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by a Seller or (ii) first becomes available to any Seller after the Closing Date directly or indirectly from a source other than the Companies or the Buyer, provided that such source is not actually known by such Seller to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Buyer or their Affiliates or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to any Seller by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Seller or any Affiliate thereof will be restricted from disclosing Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by applicable Law; provided, however, that in the event such disclosure is required by applicable Law after the Closing, (i) the applicable Seller shall provide the Buyer with as much advanced notice as is reasonably practicable of such requirement so that the Buyer may seek (at their sole cost and expense) an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by such Seller, and (ii) the applicable Seller shall only disclose the portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by the applicable Law, as determined by counsel.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Existing Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer is hereby expressly permitted to furnish and disclose any and all documents and information required to be furnished or disclosed in connection with obtaining or complying with the R&W Insurance Policy, in each case, subject to customary confidentiality covenants entered into with respect to the R&W Insurance Policy to which the applicable underwriters and their Representatives are bound.

(b) The Companies shall, or shall cause the Target Entities to, give promptly such notice to third parties and obtain such third party consents as the Buyer deems reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The Buyer shall cooperate with and assist the Sellers in giving such notices and obtaining such consents; provided, however, that the Buyer shall have no obligation to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connection with any such notice, consent or estoppel certificate or consent to any change in the terms of any agreement or arrangement that the Buyer in its sole discretion may deem adverse to the interests of the Buyer or any Target Entity.

(c) Except as required by this Agreement, none of the Buyer, its direct and indirect Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates shall engage in any action or enter into any transaction (including any acquisition) or permit any action to be taken or transaction to be entered into, that would materially impair the ability of the Buyer to consummate, or would prevent or materially delay, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or would reasonably be expected to do so.

(e) From time to time after the Closing, and for no further consideration, each of the parties shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer shall not be required by this Section to take or agree to undertake any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order or other arrangement, that would (A) require the divestiture of any assets of the Buyer or the Target Entities, (B) limit the Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to consolidate and control, the Target Entities or any of their assets or businesses or any of the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ other assets or businesses or (C) limit the Buyer’s ability to acquire or hold, or exercise full rights of ownership with respect to, the Purchased Interests.

At Closing, the Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the intended beneficiaries thereof the Payoff Indebtedness.

Section 6.12 Public Announcements. On and after the date hereof and through the Closing Date, the parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any press release or make any public statement prior to obtaining the other party’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that no such approval shall be necessary to the extent disclosure may be required by

applicable Law or any listing agreement of any party hereto.

Buyer shall furnish correct and complete copies of all definitive agreements entered into by Buyer in relation to the Debt Financing Commitment (including in respect of any Alternative Financing) to Sellers promptly upon their execution.

(b) The Buyer shall provide to the Seller Representative prompt notice (and in any event within two Business Days): (i) of any material breach or default or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such breach or default by any party to the Debt Financing Commitment and/or the Debt Financing Agreements of which the Buyer becomes aware; (ii) of any termination of the Debt Financing Commitment and/or the Debt Financing Agreements or any refusal by a Debt Commitment Party to provide all or any part of the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment; (iii) of any material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Debt Financing Commitment with respect to the obligation to fund the Debt Financing or the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded at Closing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing and/or the Debt Financing Agreements); (iv) of any material adverse change with respect to such Debt Financing that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the timely availability or amount of the Debt Financing; (v) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to the Debt Financing Commitment and/or the Debt Financing Agreements or with respect to any actual or threatened breach, default, withdrawal, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Financing Commitment and/or the Debt Financing Agreements or any provision of the Debt Financing Commitment and/or the Debt Financing Agreements; or (vi) any amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Debt Financing Commitment and/or the Debt Financing Agreements or any related fee letters. Buyer shall keep Sellers informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing).

(c) Buyer shall not (i) agree to or permit any amendment, supplement or other modification of, or waive any of its rights under, the Debt Financing Commitment or any definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing and/or (ii) substitute other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing from the same or Alternative Financing sources, in each case, without Sellers’ prior written consent; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may amend the Debt Financing Commitment to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Financing Commitment as of the date of this Agreement, if the addition of such additional parties, individually or in the aggregate, would not prevent, delay, or impair the availability of the Debt Financing when required to be funded or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing, in each case on the Closing Date (provided, further, that the Debt Commitment Parties as of the date hereof shall remain liable for the entirety of such commitments thereunder as of the date hereof). After any amendment, supplement, modification, replacement or waiver of the Debt Financing Commitment in accordance with this Section 6.13, the Buyer shall promptly deliver to the Seller Representative a true and complete copy thereof.

(d) If for any reason all or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment, Buyer shall promptly notify Sellers and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing from alternative sources (the “Alternative Financing”) upon terms (including any flex provisions) no less favorable, in any material respect, in the aggregate, to the Buyer than those in the Debt Financing Commitment (and any related fee letter), in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (and in any event on or prior to the date on which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2). If any Alternative Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 6.14(d), Buyer shall notify Sellers thereof and references to the “Debt Financing,” and “Debt Financing Commitment” (and other like term in this Agreement) shall include such Alternative Financing, as applicable.

(e) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Sellers (and Seller Representative) have no responsibility for any financing that Buyer and/or its Affiliates may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the Debt Financing, any Alternative Financing or any Equity Financing is not a condition to Closing.

(f) Buyer shall not agree to or permit any amendment, supplement or other modification of, or terminate or waive any of its rights under, the Equity Financing Commitments or any other definitive agreements related to the financing transactions provided for under the Equity Financing Commitments.

Section 6.15 Delivery of Purchased Interests.

The Companies shall use reasonable best efforts to procure the requisite Enhanced Advisory Client Consent from each Enhanced Advisory Client.

(b) The Buyer shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review all consent materials and communications, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, with the Enhanced Advisory Clients or investors in an Enhanced Fund, to be used by the Companies, prior to distribution.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.18 shall prohibit (i) any Seller or Seller Owner from purchasing publicly traded securities of any corporation, provided that this ownership represents a passive investment and that such Seller or Seller Owner is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, the corporation; (ii) any Seller or Seller Owner’s passive investment as a limited partner or similar capacity in a private equity fund, venture capital fund or other investment vehicle or other business enterprise managed by another person or entity; or (iii) any Seller Owner from investing for the account of himself and his family members.

(f) Modification. If at the time of enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.18, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by applicable Laws.

(g) Severability. If any Restrictive Covenant is invalid in any part, it shall be curtailed, both as to time and location, to the minimum extent required for its validity under the governing law of this Agreement and shall be binding and enforceable with respect to each Seller and Seller Owner, as so curtailed.

(h) Reasonableness of Restrictions. Each Seller and Seller Owner acknowledges and agrees that he derived (and/or will derive) substantial economic benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that the scope of activity, periods of time and the geographic area applicable to the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable.

(i) Tolling of Restrictive Period. The running of the Restricted Period shall be tolled during the period of any breach by any Seller or Seller Owner of any of the Restrictive Covenants solely with respect to such Seller or Seller Owner.

(j) Several Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.18 shall be several obligations of the Sellers and Seller Owners, and no breach by any Seller or Seller Owner of any of the Restrictive Covenants shall be deemed to be a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants by any other Seller or Seller Owner.

(k) Remedies. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Buyer Group and its Affiliates, each Seller and Seller Owner acknowledges that a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants may result in material irreparable injury to the Buyer Group or any of its Affiliates for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Buyer Group or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach, restraining such Seller or Seller Owner from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 6.18 or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the Restrictive Covenants.

Section 6.19 Updated Financial Statements. The Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to the Buyer (at their sole cost and expense) certain new financial statements of the Enhanced Entities described on Schedule 6.19; provided, however, that that the delivery of such financial statements shall not be a condition to, or otherwise delay, the Closing if the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 (other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date, but are expected to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived.

Section 6.20 Series E Preferred Units. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.20, so long as any of the Sellers hold Series E Preferred Units (or any equity of Buyer and/or Holdings into which Series E Preferred Units have been exchanged or converted (such equity, “Successor Equity”)), Buyer and Holdings will not (a) undertake a merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which any of the Existing Preferred Units or Series E Preferred Units (or any Successor Equity) are converted into, exchanged or redeemed for securities or other property or (b) otherwise cause or permit any Series E Preferred Units to be exchanged or redeemed for, or converted into, securities of any Person or property, including Holdings, or any Person that owns or will own all of the equity interests in Holdings or any Affiliate of or successor (by merger or otherwise) to Holdings or such Person (such Person, a “Successor Person”), or transferred to Holdings or any Successor Person, unless the holders of Series E Preferred Units (or any Successor Equity) receive the same form and amount of consideration as the consideration payable to the holders of the Existing Preferred Units (or any Successor Equity), and are subject to any lock-ups not more restrictive than those governing the holders of the Existing Preferred Units (or any Successor Equity).

Section 6.21 Capital Contributions and Carried Interest. Following the Closing, none of the Enhanced Entities, Buyer or any other member of the Buyer Group shall be required to make any payment to or on behalf of any Seller, GP Entity or any Seller’s respective principals, officers, managers, directors or employees in respect of any capital commitment, capital contribution, return obligation (including in respect of capital contributions or “clawback” of carried interest) or other payment owed by such Seller, GP Entity or such Seller’s respective principals, officers, managers, directors or employees to any GP Entity or Enhanced Fund, other than as set forth on Schedule 6.21.

Section 6.24 Tree Line Option. Pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 6.24, commencing on March 31, 2022 until March 31, 2023 (the “Option Period”), the Sellers have the option (the “Tree Line Option”) to purchase all of the interests in Tree Line Capital Partners, LLC (“Tree Line”) owned by Enhanced Asset Management, LLC (“EAM”) as of the Closing Date (the “Tree Line Interests”), for a purchase price equal to: (a) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization attributable to such Tree Line Interest from the Closing Date through the last day of the quarter preceding the date of exercise of the Tree Line Option, minus (b) the aggregate distributions (including tax distributions) received by EAM from Tree Line from the Closing Date through the closing of the exercise of the Tree Line Option, plus (c) $1.00. Seller Representative may exercise, on behalf of the Sellers set forth on Schedule 6.24 (in the percentages set forth therein), the Tree Line Option by delivering a written notice of exercise prior to the expiration of the Option Period to the principal executive offices of ECG. Upon delivery of such notice of exercise, both Seller Representative and ECG shall be obligated to enter into appropriate documentation within 30 days following delivery of such notice evidencing the purchase and sale of the Tree Line Option, free and clear of all liens; provided that such purchase and sale complies with all required regulatory approvals and consents. In the event Seller Representative and ECG are not able to mutually agree on the purchase price applicable to the Tree Line Option, the purchase price applicable to the Tree Line Option will be determined in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure contemplated by Section 2.6(c), applied mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following delivery of notice of exercise of the Tree Line Option, the Seller Representative shall have the right to assign all or a portion of the Tree Line Option, in its sole discretion, to Tree Line. Following the exercise and/or assignment of the Tree Line Option in accordance with the terms hereof, the parties will enter into appropriate documentation evidencing any such exercise and/or assignment.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1 Tax Returns. The Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Target Entities and their Subsidiaries that are required to be filed after the Closing Date for Pre-Closing Tax Periods. All such Tax Returns will be prepared in a manner consistent with the past custom and practice of the Target Entities, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. At least 30 days prior to the date on which each such Tax Return with respect to income Taxes is due (taking into account extensions), the Buyer will submit a draft of such Tax Return to the Seller Representative for its review and consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Buyer shall in good faith consider any changes to such draft Tax Return as are requested by the Seller Representative. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements with respect to any such Tax Return and if they are not able to do so within a reasonable amount of time, such dispute shall be referred to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually selected by the Buyer and the Seller Representative, and the decision of such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the Buyer and the Sellers. Any fees of such accounting firm shall be borne in inverse proportion by the parties as they may prevail on the disputed issues, which determination shall be made by such accounting firm.

Section 7.2 Books and Records; Cooperation. Each of the Buyer and the Sellers will, and will cause their respective representatives to (a) provide the other parties and their representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation or review of any Tax Return, or any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to any Target Entity and (b) retain and provide the other parties and its representatives with reasonable access to all records or information (including, without limitation, earnings and profits of the Target Entities) that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination, proceeding or determination of any amount payable under this Article VII; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer, the Target Entities and any of their respective Affiliates shall not be obligated to provide any of their income Tax Returns to the Sellers and their Representatives that relate solely to a Post-Closing Tax Period.

Section 7.3 Transfer Taxes. The Buyer (collectively) and the Sellers (collectively) each will bear fifty percent (50%) of any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added, and other similar transfer Tax imposed on any Target Entity, the Sellers or the Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any filing and recording fees (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). The Sellers agree to cooperate with the Buyer in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in their possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes.

Section 7.4 Straddle Period Allocation. To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Post-Closing Tax Period portions of a Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, payroll or sales of the Target Entities for the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the amount of other Taxes of the Target Entities for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period

multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending at the end of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The federal partnership income Tax Return of ECG for the Straddle Period taxable year that includes the Closing Date will allocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for such year to the buyer and sellers of direct interests in ECG based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date. For purposes of determining the Unpaid Taxes of the Blockers for such Straddle Period taxable year, (a) the same interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date will be utilized to determine the portion of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for such year allocated to the Blockers from the Companies that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of such year and (b) any net operating loss carryover of a Blocker from a prior year (to the extent it is both available and utilizable on the Tax Return that will reflect the applicable Unpaid Taxes) shall be allocated first to offset any income or gain of such Blocker for such Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Section 7.5 Purchase Price Allocation. The parties agree that the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the purchase of the Trident Shares that are shares of Trident ECP is $1.00 and that the remainder of the Purchase Price is allocated to the Trident Shares that are shares of Trident ECG, the MECG Units, the VECG Units and the ETCF Units. The Buyer shall, within 90 days following the Closing, submit to the Seller Representative an initial determination of the allocation among the assets of ECG of the portion of the Purchase Price as determined for U.S. federal income Tax purposes allocated to the purchase of the MECG Units, the VECG Units and the ETCF Units consistent with the principles set forth on Schedule 7.5 of the Disclosure Schedules. Within 30 days of receipt, the Seller Representative shall notify Buyer if it disagrees with such initial determination, and if it does not so notify the Buyer within such 30 day period the initial determination shall be final and binding on the parties. If the Seller Representative disagrees with such initial determination, the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. If the Seller Representative and the Buyer have been unable to resolve their differences within 30 days after the Buyer has been notified of the Seller Representative’s disagreement with the initial determination, then any remaining disputed issues shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, which shall resolve the disagreement in a final binding manner in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 2.6(c) applied mutatis mutandis. The parties shall report and file their respective Tax Returns in accordance with the allocation as finally determined and shall not take any position on any Tax Return, in any audit, administrative, or judicial proceeding, or otherwise that is inconsistent with such treatment except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 7.6 Seller Representative Approved Tax Matters. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, or as expressly required by this Agreement, neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall, to the extent such action results or could reasonably be expected to result in any increased Tax liability (including a reduction in a refund) of the Sellers in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Target Entities or their Subsidiaries, without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed: (i) make or change any election in respect of Taxes affecting any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Target Entities or their Subsidiaries; (ii) amend, refile, or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Target Entities or their Subsidiaries; (iii) extend or waive any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax or Tax deficiency that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Target Entities or their Subsidiaries; or (iv) initiate any voluntary disclosure proceeding with any Governmental Authority with respect to the Target Entities or any of the Subsidiaries relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Section 7.7 Transaction Tax Deductions. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Transaction Tax Deductions shall be for the sole benefit of the Sellers, shall be allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and except as otherwise required by applicable Laws, shall be claimed in a Pre-Closing Tax Period. The parties hereby agree to (a) prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the preceding sentence and (b) not take a position on any Tax Return or in any administrative or judicial proceeding inconsistent with the Sellers’ entitlement to the benefit of the Transaction Tax Deductions.

Section 7.8 Audits and Examinations. The Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller Representative in writing of the commencement of any audit or examination of any flow-through income Tax Return of the Target Entities for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any proposed change or adjustment, claim, dispute, arbitration or litigation that, if sustained, would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification in respect of Taxes under this Agreement (a “Tax Claim”). Such notice shall describe the asserted Tax Claim in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notices and other documents received from any taxing authority in respect of any such asserted Tax Claim. The Buyer shall have the right to control all Tax Claims in the Tax audit, examination, and settlement stage and, if not settled, in any further contest; provided, however, that the Buyer shall inform the Seller Representative of the status and progress of such Tax Claim and that the Seller Representative will have the opportunity to participate in such Tax Claim at its expense. The Buyer may not settle any Tax Claim (either at the audit or examination stage or thereafter) without first obtaining the Seller Representative’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim that is exclusively for civil monetary damages at law pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim for equitable or injunctive relief or any Third Party Claim that would impose criminal liability, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, any such Third Party Claim. With respect to any Third Party Claim, the defense of which the Indemnifying Party is entitled to assume, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof, provided the Indemnified Party has provided written notice of such failure to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party has not cured its failure within 15 days of receiving any such notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 9.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines based on advice of outside legal counsel that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder.

(c) An Indemnified Party seeking indemnification in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”) shall deliver a Claim Notice in respect thereof to the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness (and no later than thirty (30) days) after becoming aware of facts supporting such Direct Claim, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it accepts the liability identified in a Claim Notice in respect of a Direct

Claim, or does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days following its receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a Direct Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, then in each case, such Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, and the parties shall proceed in accordance with Section 9.9. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party, the parties shall proceed in accordance with Section 9.9 for the undisputed amount, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.9, each Indemnifying Party hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on each Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.

Section 9.5 Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (a) no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), Section 9.2(b)(i), Section 9.2(c) and Section 9.2(d), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Parties equals or exceeds $547,500 (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Indemnifying Parties shall only be liable for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Basket Amount; (b) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds the Basket Amount, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Basket Amount; (c) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from all Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) and (ii) (in respect of any covenant or agreement requiring performance at or prior to the Closing), Section 9.2(b)(i) and (ii) (in respect of any covenant or agreement requiring performance at or prior to the Closing), Section 9.2(c) and Section 9.2(d), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to $547,500; (d) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 9.3(a) and Section 9.3(b) (in respect of any covenant or agreement requiring performance at or prior to the Closing), shall be an amount equal to $2,700,000; and (e) the Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify the Buyer or any other Person with respect to any Loss to the extent that a specific accrual or reserve for the amount of such Loss was taken into account in calculating the Net Adjustment Amount; provided, that (i) the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation, and (ii) the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) shall not apply to Losses in the event of Fraud.

Section 9.6 Additional Limits on Indemnification

(a) Mitigation. The parties shall cooperate with each other to resolve any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability.

(b) Additional Indemnification Procedures.

(i) Any indemnifiable claim with respect to any breach or nonperformance by either party of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be limited to the amount of indemnifiable Losses sustained by the Indemnified Party by reason of such breach or nonperformance, net of any (A) insurance proceeds received by the Buyer or the Target Entities (other than the R&W Insurance Policy), (B) with respect to the portion of the Loss borne by the Blockers (or their successors, with respect to the TECG Units and ECP Units), any net Tax benefits actually realized as a result of such Loss, and (C) recoveries from third parties pursuant to indemnification or otherwise. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Buyer and the Target Entities shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss or from any other applicable third party to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments (other than pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy) after being indemnified with respect to some or all of such Losses, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall pay to the Seller Representative the lesser of (x) the amount of such insurance proceeds and (y) the aggregate amount paid to such Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article IX with respect to such Losses.

(ii) If any Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any claim pursuant to Section 9.2, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim (other than the R&W Insurance Policy).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be liable pursuant to this Article IX for any punitive or exemplary damages, except, in each case, to the extent constituting direct, market measured or general damages and/or to the extent constituting a part of any Third Party Claim.

Section 9.7 Remedies Not Affected by Investigation, Disclosure or Knowledge. If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Buyer expressly reserves the right to seek indemnity for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, notwithstanding any investigation by, disclosure to, knowledge or imputed knowledge of the Buyer or any of its Representatives in respect of any fact or circumstance that reveals the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the execution and delivery hereof.

Section 9.8 Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, other than with respect to a claim for Fraud and subject to Section 9.8(b), (i) the funds available in the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery for the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to the Sellers’ indemnification obligation under this Article IX, and (ii) neither the survival periods nor any other limitations under this Article IX shall in any way affect or otherwise limit any claim made by, or available to, any Buyer Indemnified Party under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict a Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights or ability to maintain or recover any amounts in connection with any action or claim based upon Fraud in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Ancillary Agreements, and (ii) each Seller agrees to the matters set forth on Schedule 9.8(b).

Section 9.9 Indemnification Payments; Escrow Release.

(a) Within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of any amounts owing under Section 9.2, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Buyer any such amounts due and owing under Section 9.2, up to the amount then-remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund. Any amounts owing under Section 9.3 shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller Representative, as directed by the Seller Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

(b) On the Escrow Expiration Date, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to, or as directed by, the Seller Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers such amount, if any, then-remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund less an amount equal to the aggregate dollar amount of claims for Losses made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in good faith through the Escrow Expiration Date pursuant to this Article IX that are then outstanding and unresolved (such amount of the retained Indemnity Escrow Amount, as it may be further reduced after the Escrow Expiration Date by distributions to, or for the benefit of, the Sellers as set forth below and recoveries by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, the “Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount”).

(c) If and to the extent that after the Escrow Expiration Date, any claim for Losses is resolved for any amount less than the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund preserved in respect of such claim on the Escrow Expiration Date, then the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to, or as directed by, the Seller Representative, for the benefit of the Sellers, an aggregate amount of the Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount equal to such difference; provided that such distribution shall only be made to the extent that the Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount remaining after such distribution would be sufficient to cover the aggregate amount of all unresolved claims for Losses timely made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in good faith in accordance with Section 9.4. If and to the extent that, after the Escrow Expiration Date, any outstanding claim timely made by any Buyer Indemnified Party in good faith in accordance with Section 9.4 for a Loss is resolved in favor of such Buyer Indemnified Party, then the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to such Buyer Indemnified Party an amount from the Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount equal to the amount of such outstanding claim resolved in favor of such Buyer Indemnified Party.

Section 9.10 Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to (a) claims based on Fraud, (b) claims for specific performance in accordance with Section 11.11 and (c) the procedures described in Section 2.5 and 2.6, following the Closing, indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties and any parties claiming by or through any parties (including the Indemnified Parties) related to or arising from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in, or otherwise pursuant to, this Agreement, and none of the parties shall have any other rights or remedies in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any other liability arising out of the negotiation, entry into or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Laws or otherwise.

Section 9.11 Characterization of Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by Law.

Section 11.3 Waiver. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.

(v) to refrain from enforcing any right of any Seller and/or the Seller Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, or any other agreement, instrument or document in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the Seller Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Seller Representative or by any Seller unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Seller Representative (on any Seller’s behalf); and

101

(vi) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Seller Representative may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and all other agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein or therein or executed in connection herewith and therewith.

(b) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Seller Representative under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall survive the Closing Date and/or any termination of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The Buyer shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Sellers.

(c) The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller, (ii) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and (iii) shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and beneficiaries, as applicable, of each of the Sellers.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Sellers shall severally and not jointly, in accordance with their pro rata shares, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Representative against any Losses resulting from its role as the Seller Representative; and (ii) the liability of each Seller for any amount or obligation under this Agreement or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of any Seller hereunder or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be several not joint, in accordance with their pro rata shares.

(f) In the event the Seller Representative resigns as the Seller Representative or upon the death or disability of the Seller Representative, the Sellers shall appoint by majority vote of the Sellers a substitute Seller Representative, who may be a Seller or any other Person.

(g) The Sellers acknowledge and agree that, in the event any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund is used to satisfy any obligation due hereunder in respect of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Article IV or a covenant or agreement to be performed by any individual Seller hereunder (an “Individual Seller Breach”), the Seller Representative shall have the right to withhold (or cause the withholding) from any subsequent payment to such Seller or any of its Affiliates from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (or any other payment to be made hereunder to such Seller), the amount of such indemnity payment previously made in respect of such Individual Seller Breach. In the event that the full amount paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in respect of an Individual Seller Breach is greater than the payments that are withheld (or are anticipated to be able to be withheld), then the Seller associated with such Individual Seller Breach shall pay the balance to the Seller Representative (for the benefit of the Seller, other than the Seller associated with such Individual Seller Breach).

102

(h) The Seller Representative Expense Amount shall be held by the Seller Representative in a segregated client account and shall be used for the purposes of paying directly any expenses, or reimbursing the Seller Representative for any and all liabilities, incurred by the Seller Representative in the performance or discharge of its duties pursuant to this Section 11.20. The Seller Representative Expense Amount shall be held in a non-interest bearing account. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Seller Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Seller Representative shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Seller Representative Expense Amount, other than as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. As soon as practicable following the ultimate release of the remaining amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Seller Representative shall distribute the remaining portion of the Seller Representative Expense Amount (if any) to the Sellers in accordance with their relative pro rata shares. For Tax purposes, the Seller Representative Expense Amount shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the time of Closing. The Sellers Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Sellers Representative Expense Amount and has no Tax reporting obligations hereunder

Section 11.21 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP has acted as legal counsel to certain Sellers and their Affiliates prior to the Closing, and that Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP intends to act as legal counsel to certain Sellers and their Affiliates (which will no longer include the Target Entities) after the Closing, the Buyer and each of the Target Entities hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP representing such Sellers and/or their Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to the Buyer, any Target Entity or the transactions contemplated herein. In addition, all communications involving attorney- client confidences between such Sellers and their Affiliates or any Target Entity and Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to such Sellers and their Affiliates (and not the Target Entities). Accordingly, the Target Entities shall not, without such Sellers’ consent, have access to any such communications, or to the files of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP relating to its engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) such Sellers and their Affiliates (and not the Target Entities) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Target Entities shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only such Sellers and their Affiliates (and not the Target Entities) shall hold such property rights and (c) Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Attorney-Client Communications or files to any of the Target Entities by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP and any of the Target Entities or otherwise. The Buyer further agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Target Entities), that from and after Closing (a) the attorney-client privilege, all other evidentiary privileges, and the expectation of client confidence as to all Attorney-Client Communications belong to certain Sellers and will not pass to or be claimed by the Buyer, any Target Entity or any of their Subsidiaries, and (b) such Sellers will have the

103

exclusive right to control, assert, or waive the attorney-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such Attorney-Client Communications. Accordingly, the Buyer will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Target Entities) not to, (x) assert any attorney-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any Attorney-Client Communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not such Sellers or such Sellers’ Affiliate; or (y) take any action which could cause any Attorney-Client Communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the attorney-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not such Sellers or such Sellers’ Affiliate. Furthermore, the Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries (including, after Closing, the Target Entities), that in the event of a dispute between such Sellers or any Affiliate thereof on the one hand and any Target Entity or any of its Subsidiaries on the other arising out of or relating to any matter in which Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP jointly represented both parties, neither the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence, nor any right to any other evidentiary privilege will protect from disclosure to certain Sellers or such Sellers’ Affiliate any information or documents developed or shared during the course of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP’s joint representation. “Attorney-Client Communication” means any communication occurring on or prior to Closing between Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP on the one hand and any Target Entity, its Subsidiaries, any Seller, or any of their respective Affiliates on the other hand that in any way relates to the transaction contemplated hereby, including any representation, warranty, or covenant of any party under this Agreement or any related agreement. Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP is an express third party beneficiary of this Section 11.21.

Section 11.22 Guarantee. Holdings hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligation and not as a surety, to the Sellers the payment and performance of the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement (in each case, subject to all limitations, qualifications, terms and conditions of the Buyer’s obligations set forth herein), including, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligations of the Buyer under Section 2.3(a)(ii) and Section 9.3 of this Agreement. This guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectability, irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any other document or instrument contemplated hereby. Holdings waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of any obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Holdings, any of its Affiliates or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the guaranteed obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally. If any payment in respect of any of the guaranteed obligations is rescinded after receipt by the Sellers, the guaranty hereunder shall be automatically reinstated as if no such payment had ever been made. Holdings agrees that the Sellers shall not be required to prosecute collection, enforcement or other remedies against Buyer or to enforce or resort to any rights or remedies pertaining thereto, before calling on Holdings for payment or performance. Holdings hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the obligations of Holdings set forth in this Agreement and notice of or proof of reliance by the Sellers upon this Section 11.22 or acceptance of this Section 11.22. Holdings acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Section 11.22 are made knowingly in contemplation of such benefits.

104

Section 11.23 Limitation on Liability. No Debt Commitment Party shall have any liability or obligation to the Sellers, the Target Entities, any of its or their Affiliates or any of its or their direct or indirect stockholders relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment, the Debt Financing, the Debt Financing Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to be have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and neither the Sellers nor the Target Entities shall seek to, and shall cause its and their Affiliates and its and their direct and indirect stockholders not to seek to, recover any money damages (including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, or damages on account of a willful and material breach) or obtain any equitable relief from or with respect to any Debt Commitment Party.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [•], 2020, by and between Michael Korengold (the “Executive”) and [•], a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Executive desires to be employed by the Company on these terms and conditions;

WHEREAS, the Executive or an affiliate of the Executive has entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and among P10 Intermediate Holdings LLC, Enhanced Capital Group, LLC, Enhanced Capital Partners, LLC, the parties set forth on Schedule A thereto, and for certain limited purposes specified therein, the parties set forth on Schedule B thereto, Stone Point Capital LLC, and P10 Holdings, Inc., dated as of November 19, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereunder, together, the “Acquisition”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and obligations set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

1. Term. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall be effective as of the close of the Acquisition (the “Effective Date”), and shall continue until the fifth anniversary thereof, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 5; provided that, on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and each annual anniversary thereafter (that date and each annual anniversary thereof, a “Renewal Date”), the Agreement shall be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for successive periods of one year, unless either party provides written notice of his intention not to extend the term of the Agreement at least sixty (60) days’ prior to the applicable Renewal Date. The period during which the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Term.” If the Acquisition does not close, the Agreement will be null and void and will have no further force or effect.

2. Position and Duties.

2.1 Position. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, reporting to William (Fritz) Souder, or s uch other person serving as Chief Executive Officer, President, or Chief Operating Officer of P10 Holdings, Inc. (“P10”). In that position, the Executive shall perform the duties set forth in Section 2.2 hereof. In addition, the Executive shall be a member of the P10 Executive Committee.

EXHIBIT C

2.2 Duties. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall perform his duties as Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Company and shall not engage in any other business, profession, or occupation for compensation or otherwise that would conflict or interfere with the performance of those services either directly or indirectly without the prior written consent of the Company. The Executive agrees that he will devote all necessary business time, attention, and energies, as well as the Executive’s best talents and abilities to the business of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s instructions and directions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 8, so long as there are no conflicts of interest between the Executive’s activities and the Company’s business, the Executive will be permitted to (a) with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent can be withheld by the Company in its discretion) act or serve as a director, trustee, committee member, or principal of any type of business, (b) act or serve as a director, trustee, or committee member of any civic or charitable organization, and (c) purchase publicly traded securities of any corporation or make other investments permitted under Section 8.5; provided that the ownership represents a passive investment and that the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, the corporation; provided further that the activities described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) do not interfere with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company as provided hereunder, including, but not limited to, the obligations set forth in Section 2.

3. Place of Performance. The principal place of the Executive’s employment shall be the Company’s principal executive office or any assigned satellite office as applicable; provided that, the Executive may be required to travel on Company business during the Employment Term.

4. Compensation.

(a) The Company shall pay the Executive an annual rate of base salary of [***] beginning on the date hereof through at least the calendar year 2021, in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices and applicable wage payment laws, but no less frequently than monthly. Starting in 2022 and subject to review and approval by the P10 Executive Committee, the Company, on an annual basis, shall adjust the Executive’s base salary to the extent that similarly situated executives of any subsidiary of P10 (together, the “Comparable Executives”) shall have base compensation that is materially different than the Base Salary then in effect. The Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as “Base Salary”.

(b) The Company may pay the Executive additional incentive compensation including stock options in P10, additional cash compensation, and/or carried interests in new fund clients of the Company. Payment of incentive compensation will be at the discretion of the P10 Executive Committee and will take into account, among other factors, the financial performance of the Company and the Executive’s prior percentage membership interest in the Company immediately prior to the Acquisition. In addition to the foregoing, Executive will be eligible to participate in the grant of stock options to the Company’s employees.

EXHIBIT C

4.2 Discretionary Bonus. For each year during the Employment Term, a discretionary bonus shall be available as incentive compensation to be allocated to the Executive. The discretionary bonus available to be allocated to the Executive for the calendar year 2021 shall be [***]. Starting in 2022 and subject to the review and approval of the P10 Executive Committee, the Company, on an annual basis, shall adjust the Executive’s available discretionary bonus to the extent that the Comparable Executives are paid a discretionary bonus that is materially different than the Executive’s then in effect. The discretionary bonus shall be contingent on the Company meeting performance metrics mutually agreed-upon by the Executive and the Company, which should be commensurate with performance metrics applicable to Comparable Executives, set forth at the beginning of each calendar or fiscal year, as applicable (the “Performance Metrics”). The discretionary bonus will be paid in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices and applicable wage payment laws.

4.3 Fringe Benefits and Perquisites. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits and perquisites consistent with the practices of P10 and/or its affiliates (collectively with the Company, the “P10 Entities”), and to the extent the Company provides similar benefits or perquisites (or both) to Comparable Executives.

4.4 Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, practices, and programs maintained by P10 and/or its affiliates, as in effect from time to time (collectively, “Employee Benefit Plans”), to the extent consistent with applicable law and the terms of the applicable Employee Benefit Plans. The Company reserves the right to amend or cancel any Employee Benefit Plans at any time in its sole discretion, subject to the terms of the Employee Benefit Plan and applicable law.

4.5 Vacation; Paid Time-Off. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to twenty-five (25) days of paid vacation per calendar year (prorated for partial years) in accordance with the vacation policies of P10 and/or its affiliates, as in effect from time to time. The Executive shall receive other paid time-off in accordance with P10’s and/or its affiliates’ policies for executive officers as these policies may exist from time to time.

4.6 Business Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business, entertainment, and travel expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder in accordance with P10’s and/or its affiliates’ expense reimbursement policies and procedures.

4.7 Indemnification.

(a) If the Executive is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”), other than any Proceeding initiated by the Executive or the Company related to any contest or dispute between the Executive and the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment hereunder, by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company, or any affiliate of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee, or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law from and against any liabilities, costs, claims, and expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred in defense of any Proceeding (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

EXHIBIT C

(b) During the Employment Term and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Company or any successor to the Company shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage to the Executive on terms that are no less favorable than the coverage provided to other directors and similarly situated executives of the Company.

5. Termination of Employment. The Executive’s employment may be terminated as set forth below.

5.1 Non-Renewal of the Employment Term; Termination for Cause or Without Good Reason.

(a) The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated upon either party’s failure to renew the Agreement in accordance with Section 1, by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, in which case the Executive shall be entitled to receive:

(ii) any bonus for any year preceding the year in which such termination occurs, to the extent not previously paid, which amount shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date;

(iii) solely in the case of non-renewal of the Employment Term, a pro-rata bonus for the year in which such termination occurs, prorated based upon the portion of such year during which the Executive was employed multiplied by the greater of (A) the Executive’s bonus for the preceding year and (B) $300,000, which amount shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date; provided that such pro-rata bonus shall be conditioned upon the Executive meeting the Performance Metrics as of the Termination Date, if such partial year’s performance were extrapolated for the full fiscal year (the foregoing, the “Pro-Rata Bonus”);

(iv) reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the Executive, which shall be subject to and paid in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy; and

(v) the employee benefits (including equity compensation), if any, to which the Executive may be entitled under the Company’s employee benefit plans as of the Termination Date, which benefits shall be provided in accordance with the terms of such plans; provided that, in no event shall the Executive be entitled to any payments in the nature of severance or termination payments except as specifically provided herein.

The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto covering all of the Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Long-Form Registration within sixty (60) days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter.

(b) After the Public Offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto. At such time as the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto, but in any event no earlier than October 6, 2020, the holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request an unlimited number of registrations under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any similar short-form Registration Statement (each, a “Short-Form Registration” and, collectively with each Long-Form Registration and Shelf Registration, a “Demand Registration”).

Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) days following receipt thereof) deliver notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have five (5) days from the date such notice is given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto covering all of the Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Short-Form Registration within thirty (30) days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter.

Exhibit A to Equityholders Agreement

EXHIBIT F

(c) At such time as the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration Statement”), but in any event no earlier than October 6, 2020, the holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration”). Each request for a Shelf Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Shelf Registration. Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) days following receipt thereof) deliver notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have five (5) days from the date such notice is given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Shelf Registration within ten (10) days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter.

(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within three (3) months after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration, Shelf Takedown or a previous Piggyback Registration in which holders of Registrable Securities were permitted to register the offer and sale under the Securities Act, and actually sold, at least a majority of the shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein. The Company may postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration or a supplement (a “Shelf Supplement”) for the purpose of effecting an offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Takedown”) if the Board determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act; provided, that in such event the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initiating such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request for a Demand Registration is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown hereunder only once in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

Exhibit A to Equityholders Agreement

EXHIBIT F

(e) If the holders of the Registrable Securities initially requesting a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown elect to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), or Section 2(c) and the Company shall include such information in its notice to the other holders of Registrable Securities. The Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering, which underwriter must be reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting the offering.

(f) The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown. If a Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of the requested Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such underwritten offering and/or the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock proposed to be sold in such underwritten offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration or Shelf Takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the holders of Registrable Securities propose to sell, and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock proposed to be included therein by any other Persons (including shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company and/or other holders of Common Stock) allocated among such Persons in such manner as they may agree. If the managing underwriter determines that less than all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder.

(g) Upon receipt of any Demand Registration, the Company shall not file any other Registration Statement without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requesting registration until the consummation of the sale of Registrable Securities contemplated by the applicable Demand Registration; provided that the Company shall be permitted to file any Registration Statement on Form S-8.

3. Piggyback Registration.

(a) Whenever the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company and the form of

Exhibit A to Equityholders Agreement

EXHIBIT F

Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Registration Statement”) to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), but in any event no earlier than [October 6, 2020], the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement) to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 3(b) and Section 3(c), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion from the holders of Registrable Securities within five (5) days after the Company’s notice has been given to each such holder. A Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2. If any Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant to which holders of Registrable Securities have registered the offer and sale of Registrable Securities is a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement”), such holder(s) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be notified of and to participate in any offering under such Piggyback Shelf Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Shelf Takedown”).

(b) If a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown) in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, (A) then in the case of the Public Offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, to Keystone and its Affiliates who hold Registrable Securities in an amount up to $15 million (or such lesser amount as Keystone or its Affiliates elect to sell and based on the number of shares to be sold multiplied by the price to the public in the offering), to the FPC Unitholders and their Affiliates who hold Registrable Securities in an amount equal to 44.67% of the amount to be sold by Keystone and its Affiliates pursuant to this clause (ii), to the TB Unitholders and their Affiliates who hold Registrable Securities in an amount up to $15 million (or such lesser amount as the TB Unitholders or its Affiliates elect to sell and based on the number of shares to be sold multiplied by the price to the public in the offering), and to the EC Unitholders and their Affiliates who hold Registrable Securities in an amount equal to 44.67% of the amount to be sold by Keystone and its Affiliates pursuant to this clause (ii) (provided, that if the number of Registrable Securities available to be included pursuant to this clause (ii) is less than $43.4 million, then Keystone will be allocated 34.56% of such available shares, the FP Unitholders will be allocated 15.44% of such available shares, the TB Unitholders will be allocated 34.56% of such available shares and the EC Unitholders will be allocated 15.44% of such available shares), (iii) third, the shares of Common

Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder or in such manner as they may otherwise agree and giving effect to the amounts allocated to Keystone, the FPC Unitholders, the TB Unitholders and the EC Unitholders and their respective Affiliates in clause (ii); and (iv) fourth, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree and (B) then in all other cases, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (iii) third, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree; provided, that in any event the holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to register the offer and sale or distribute at least thirty percent (30%) of the securities to be included in any such registration or takedown.

(c) If a Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as an underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of Common Stock other than Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration or takedown and by the holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock other than the Registrable Securities (on a fully diluted, as converted basis) and the number of Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by all such holders or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by other holders of Common Stock, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

(d) If any Piggyback Registration or Piggyback Shelf Takedown is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, the Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering. Each holder of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute Registrable Securities through such underwritten offering shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.

Exhibit A to Equityholders Agreement

EXHIBIT F

4. Public Offering Lock-Up. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that in connection with a Public Offering, and upon the request of the managing underwriter in such offering, such holder shall not, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the effective date of such registration and ending on the date specified by such managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, hedge the beneficial ownership of or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock held immediately before the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for such offering, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall not apply to sales of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), Section 2(c) or Section 3(a), and shall be applicable to the holders of Registrable Securities only if all officers and directors of the Company and all stockholders owning more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, each holder of Registrable Securities shall be released, pro rata, from any lock-up agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 4 in the event and to the extent that the managing underwriter or the Company permit any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any lock-up agreement pertaining to any officer, director or holder of greater than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock.

5. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the holders of Registrable Securities request that the offer and sale of any Registrable Securities be registered under the Securities Act or any Registrable Securities be distributed in a Shelf Takedown pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of the offer and sale of such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as soon as practicable and as applicable:

(a) subject to Section 2(a), Section 2(b) and Section 2(c), prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective;

(g) notify each selling holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event that would cause the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit any fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of any such holder, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(h) make available for inspection by any selling holder of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement;

(l) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make available to its stockholders an earnings statement (in a form that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the 12-month period beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full fiscal quarter after the effective date of such Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall cover said 12-month period, and which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto;

(m) furnish to each underwriter, if any, with (i) a written legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the closing date of the offering, in form and substance as is customarily given in opinions of the Company’s counsel to underwriters in underwritten registered offerings; and (ii) on the date of the applicable Prospectus, on the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement and at the closing of the offering, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof, a “comfort” letter signed by the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given in accountants’ letters to underwriters in underwritten registered offerings;

(r) cooperate with the holders of the Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule 144 free of any restrictive legends and representing such number of shares of Common Stock and registered in such names as the holders of the Registrable Securities may reasonably request a reasonable period of time prior to sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule 144; provided, that the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System (the “DTCDRS”);

In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties) and the expense of any annual audits. All Selling Expenses relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne and paid by the holders of such Registrable Securities, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration for each such holder.

7. Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, such holder’s officers, directors, managers, members, partners, stockholders and Affiliates, each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of such holder of Registrable Securities and each other Controlling Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons, against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and shall reimburse such Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, action, damage or liability, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same prior to any written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

Exhibit A to Equityholders Agreement

EXHIBIT F

(b) In connection with any registration in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such Registration Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of the holders of Registrable Securities and each Controlling Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such holder; provided, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, for each holder and shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the selling holder may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this Section 7, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the claims in any such action that are subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after written notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that, if (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any indemnified party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party without such indemnified party’s prior written consent (but, without such consent, shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such

Exhibit A to Equityholders Agreement

EXHIBIT F

indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Controlling Person of such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each holder of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, whether the violation of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any applicable registration, qualification or compliance was perpetrated by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under

Exhibit A to Equityholders Agreement

EXHIBIT F

the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s ownership of its shares of Common Stock to be sold in the offering and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.

9. Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, at any time when the Company is subject to filing obligations under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(b) use best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) furnish to any holder so long as the holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company as such holder may request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration.

10. Preservation of Rights. Without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall not (a) grant any registration rights, or (b) enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.

11. Alternative Entities. In the event that the Company elects to effect an underwritten registered offering of equity securities of any subsidiary or parent of the Company (collectively, “Alternative Entities”) rather than the equity securities of the Company, whether as a result of a reorganization of the Company or otherwise, the Investors and the Company shall cause the Alternative Entity to enter into an agreement with the Investors that provides the Investors with registration rights with respect to the equity securities of the Alternative Entity that are substantially the same as, and in any event no less favorable in the aggregate to, the registration rights provided to the Investors in this Agreement.

Exhibit A to Equityholders Agreement

EXHIBIT F

12. Termination. As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities at the earliest of the following: (i) when a registration statement registering such securities under the Securities Act has been declared effective and such securities have been sold or otherwise transferred by the holder thereof pursuant to such effective registration statement, (ii) when such securities shall have been distributed pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (iii) when such securities shall have been otherwise transferred in a transaction in which the transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not assigned to the transferee of such securities, (iv) when such securities are no longer outstanding and (v) at any time following the Public Offering and with respect to any Investor, when such Investor together with its Affiliates ceases to own at least 1.0% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock.

13. Option Grants. The parties agree that the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as a group shall be eligible to be granted annually for ten (10) years beginning on the date of the Original Agreement options to acquire up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, provided that the exercise date of each option is not earlier than October 5, 2020 and each option is granted at no less than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock into which such option is exercisable.

17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with [_______________] (and any related exhibits and schedules thereto), constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and those of [_______________], the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

18. Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Investor may assign its rights hereunder to any purchaser or transferee of Registrable Securities; provided, that as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, unless any such transferee or assignee is an Affiliate of, and after such transfer or assignment continues to be an Affiliate of, such Investor, the amount of Registrable Securities transferred or assigned to such transferee or assignee shall represent at least $25.0 million of Registrable Securities, (b) the Company is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such transferring Investor under this Agreement and (d) the transferor or assignor is not relieved of any obligations or liabilities hereunder arising out of events occurring prior to such transfer.

19. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the Persons set forth in Sections 7 and 23 are express third-party beneficiaries of the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in Section 7 and 23, respectively.

20. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

21. Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the prior written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided that (i) Section 3(b)(A)(ii) may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived by the holders of (a) a majority of the Common Stock owned by Keystone, (b) a majority of the Common Stock owned by the FPC Unitholders, (c) a majority of the Common Stock owned by the TB Unitholders, and (d) at least two-thirds of the Common Stock owned by the EC Unitholders; (ii) Section 14 may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived by the holders of (a) a majority of the Common Stock owned by the Not RCP2 Sellers and (b) a majority of the Common Stock owned by the RCP2 Sellers; (iii) Section 13 may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived by the holders of (a) a majority of the Common Stock owned by the RCP2 Sellers and (b) a majority of the Common Stock owned by the Not RCP2 Sellers. No waiver by any party or parties shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

22. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

23. Remedies. Each party hereto, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. If any RCP2 Seller breaches this Agreement and the Company fails to exercise its remedies in response to such breach, the parties hereto agree that any Not RCP2 Seller shall be entitled, on behalf of the Company, to exercise any rights granted to the Company by law, including recovery of damages, and to seek specific performance, with respect to such breach.

24. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction). Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Illinois in each case located in the city of Chicago and County of Cook, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

25. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such party has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 25.

26. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

27. Further Assurances. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
