(a) A Class A Member may, at any time and from time to time, convert, in whole or in part, its outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Units into a number of newly

Units, a number of Class B-2 Common Units to permit the conversion of all then-outstanding Class A Convertible Preferred Units and shall take such action in accordance with this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure Class B-2 Common Units are

Class B-2 Common Units, then the Company shall concurrently make equivalent and equitable adjustments to the Class A Conversion Ratio then in effect such that the rights of the Class A Members are not adversely affected as a result of any such
action.

The Issuance Notice shall specify the number and
type of such Equity Securities and the price at which such Equity Securities are proposed to be issued and the other material terms and conditions of the issuance, including the proposed closing date. Each Preemptive Rights Holder shall be
entitled to purchase, at the price and on the other terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice, its pro rata portion of such newly issued Equity Securities equal to (x) the number of securities of the specified type of Equity Securities
proposed to be issued to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, BCP, and/or their respective Affiliates (as applicable) multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Convertible Preferred Units held by such Preemptive Rights Holder as of
immediately prior to such issuance and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of the number of Class A Convertible Preferred Units held by all Class A Members collectively as of immediately prior to such issuance (with respect to each
Preemptive Rights Holder, its “Preemptive Rights Portion”).
(b) Each Preemptive Rights Holder may exercise its rights under this Section 3.06 by delivering written notice of its election to purchase up to its
Preemptive Rights Portion of such Equity Securities to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Issuance Notice. A delivery of such notice (which notice shall specify the number of such Equity Securities, up to but not
exceeding the applicable Preemptive Rights Portion, requested to be purchased by the Preemptive Rights Holder submitting such notice) by such Preemptive Rights Holder shall constitute a binding agreement of such Preemptive Rights Holder to
purchase, at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice, the number of Equity Securities specified in such Preemptive Rights Holder’s notice. If, at the end of such ten (10) Business Day-period, any Preemptive
Rights Holder has not exercised its right to purchase any or all of its Preemptive Rights Portion of such Equity Securities, such Preemptive Rights Holder shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 3.06
with respect to, and only with respect to, the purchase of such unelected Preemptive Rights Portion in respect of the issuance that is the topic of the applicable Issuance Notice.
(c) If any Preemptive Rights Holder fails to properly exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 3.06, or elects to exercise such rights with
respect to less than such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Preemptive Rights Portion of the Equity Securities (the difference between such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Preemptive Rights Portion and such Preemptive Rights Holder’s exercised amount, the “Excess Shares”), such Excess Shares shall be allocated by the Managing Member in its sole discretion, subject to compliance with the consent rights set forth in Section 4.12.
(d) The Company shall have 180 days after the date of the Issuance Notice to consummate the proposed issuance of any or all of such Equity Securities that the Preemptive
Rights Holders have elected not to purchase at the same (or higher) price and upon such other terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those specified in the Issuance Notice; provided, however, that if such
issuance is subject to regulatory or other third-party approval, such 180-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 270 days after the date of
the Issuance Notice. At the consummation of such issuance, to the extent such Equity Securities are certificated, the Company shall issue certificates representing the Equity Securities to be purchased by each Preemptive Rights Holder exercising
preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 3.06 registered in the name of such Preemptive Rights Holder, free and clear of all liens, except pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents and under Applicable Law, against
payment by such Preemptive Rights Holder of the purchase price for such Equity Securities. If the Company proposes to issue any class of Equity Securities after such period or during such period at a lower price or on such other terms materially
less favorable to the Company, the Company shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.06.
15
(e) The closing of any issuance of Equity Securities to the Preemptive Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall take place at the time and in
the manner provided in the Issuance Notice. The Company shall be under no obligation to consummate any proposed issuance of Equity Securities, nor shall there be any liability on the part of the Company to any Preemptive Rights Holder if the
Company has not consummated any proposed issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 3.06 for whatever reason, except willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether the Company has delivered an
Issuance Notice in respect of such proposed issuance.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may offer and sell Equity Securities subject to the preemptive rights under this Section 3.06 to ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
BCP, and/or their respective Affiliates without first offering such Equity Securities to each of the other Preemptive Rights Holders or complying with the procedures of this Section 3.06, so long as (i) each of the other Preemptive
Rights Holders receives prompt written notice of the consummation of such sales and (ii) either the Company or the initial purchaser of such Equity Securities makes available for sale to the other Preemptive Rights Holders, by no later than 30 days
after such issuance, a number of Equity Securities sufficient to provide such other Preemptive Rights Holders with the same proportionate ownership as they would have received if the preemptive rights under this Section 3.06 had
been complied with prior to such issuance and on the same terms and conditions as applied to such issuance. Until such time as the Company has complied with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06(f), (A) the Company shall
not make any Distributions in respect of, or redeem or repurchase, any such Equity Securities, (B) the initial purchaser(s) of such Equity Securities shall not Transfer any such Equity Securities (other than pursuant to this Section
3.06(f)), and (C) the Company shall not dissolve or wind up its affairs.
(g) In the event that Management Investors would not qualify as a Preemptive Rights Holder pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(i), then any member of Management
Investors that is such an “accredited investor” shall be entitled to exercise, on its own behalf, preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 3.06 in respect of the Preemptive Rights Portion attributable to the Class A Convertible
Preferred Units beneficially owned by such member through Management Investors and any such member shall be deemed to be a Preemptive Rights Holder for all purposes pursuant to this Section 3.06; provided, that
immediately following the consummation of such issuance, such member contributes such Equity Securities to Management Investors in exchange for the issuance to such member of corresponding equity interests in Management Investors.
(h) Each Preemptive Rights Holder is permitted to Transfer its preemptive right to purchase Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 3.06 to any of its
Permitted Transferees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The preemptive rights in this Section 3.06 shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to any issuance of Equity Securities by
any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company to any of Abrams, BCP or their respective Affiliates.

Member.

legend required by Applicable Law, all certificates representing issued and outstanding Units shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND ITS MEMBERS, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. NO
TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE VI
Allocation
Section 6.01 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. For each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof), except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary and provided herein, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, after
giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.02, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocations, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (i) the Distributions that would be made
to such Member pursuant to Section 12.03(c) if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each
Nonrecourse Liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were Distributed, in accordance with Section 12.03(c), to the Members immediately after making such allocations,
minus (ii) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 12.03, the Company shall, to the extent necessary, allocate individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company among the Members such that the Capital Account balance of each Member is as nearly as possible,
on a proportionate basis, equal to the amounts provided for in the first sentence of this Section 6.01. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Partnership Representative may make such allocations of Net Income
or Net Loss (or items thereof) as it deems reasonably necessary to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, taking into such facts and circumstances as it deems reasonably necessary for this purpose.
Section 6.02 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
6.01:
(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be
specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(g)(1). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.02(a) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback”
requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistently therewith.
(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Net Income for such
Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.02(b) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.
(c) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or Distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, Net Income shall be
specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or Distributions to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations as quickly as
possible. This Section 6.02(c) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.
24
(d) In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of the amount such Member is obligated to restore
pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company
income and gain in the amount of such excess to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.02(d) shall be
made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been made as if Section 6.02(c) and this Section 6.02(d) were not in this Agreement.
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in the same proportion as the other Net Losses of the Company for such year.
(f) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member
Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(g) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended
to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into
account in allocating Net Income and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Income and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net
amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
(h) Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 6.01 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be allocated without causing any Member to
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of Members would otherwise have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Net Losses pursuant to Section
6.01, the limitation set forth in this Section 6.02(h) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis and Net Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated (a) first, to the other Members
in accordance with the positive balances in such Member’s Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations (until the Capital Account balances of all
Members shall be reduced to zero), and (b) thereafter in the same manner as Nonrecourse Deductions. If and to the extent Net Losses are allocated pursuant to this Section 6.02(h) rather than Section 6.01, then,
notwithstanding Section 6.01 above, subsequent allocations of Net Income shall be made first to the Members who received excess allocations of Net Losses pursuant to this Section 6.02(h) in excess of what they
would have otherwise received pursuant to Section 6.01 (“Excess Net Losses”), in proportion to those Excess Net Losses, until all such Excess Net Losses have been offset with allocations of
Net Income pursuant to this sentence. Any remaining allocations of Net Income shall be made in accordance with Section 6.01.
Section 6.03 Tax Allocations.
(a) Subject to Section 6.03(b) through Section 6.03(e), all income, gains, losses and deductions of the Company shall be allocated, for
federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses and deductions among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax
purposes is not permitted by the Code or other Applicable Law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses and deductions shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other Applicable Law, so as
to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.
25
(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members
in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.
(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided
in clause (c) of the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income
tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). The Company and the Members agree that there shall be a revaluation under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as
of the date hereof.
(d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as
determined by the Partnership Representative taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).
(e) The Company shall make allocations pursuant to this Section 6.03 in accordance with such method or methods as may be adopted for the Company by the
Partnership Representative pursuant to Code Section 704(c); provided that the “remedial method” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) shall be used for allocations pursuant to Code Section 704(c)
unless otherwise consented in writing to by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and BCP.
(f) Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.03 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into
account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, Distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.04 Allocations in Respect of Transferred Units. In the event of a Transfer of Units during any
Fiscal Year made in compliance with the provisions of Article IX, Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company attributable to such Units for such Fiscal Year shall be determined using
the interim closing of the books method in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations.
Section 6.05 Curative Allocations. In the event that the Partnership Representative determines, after
consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction is not specified in this Article VI (an “Unallocated Item”),
or that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members’ economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “Misallocated Item”), then the Partnership Representative may allocate such Unallocated Items, or reallocate such
Misallocated Items, to reflect such economic interests; provided, that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be adversely and disproportionately affected
thereby; and provided, further, that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be
distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.
26
ARTICLE VII

(a) Subject to compliance with Section 4.12, Section 7.01(b), Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 the
Managing Member shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of Distributions to Members, including to decide to forego payment of Distributions in order to provide for the retention and establishment of reserves of, or payment to
third parties of, such funds as it deems necessary with respect to the Company’s reasonable business needs, which needs may include the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of obligations, including, but not limited to,
present and anticipated debts and obligations, capital needs and expenses, the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses, payment of employees and reasonable reserves for contingencies (“Business

Business Needs accruing or arising following the Closing Effective Date. All such Distributions shall be in addition to, and shall not reduce or offset the amount of Distributions required pursuant to, any other provision of this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any Distribution to Members if such Distribution would violate §
18-607 of the Delaware Act or other Applicable Law.
Section 7.02 Timing and Priority of Distributions. Subject to compliance with Section 4.12, Section 7.01 and Section 7.03, Distributions determined to be made by the Managing Member pursuant to Section 7.01 (which shall exclude, for the avoidance of doubt, Distributions made in connection
with a liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement) shall be made in the following order and priority:

such Distribution with respect to the Class A Convertible Preferred Units and the Class B Common Units if the Class A Convertible Preferred Units were converted into Class B-2 Common Units prior to such Distribution pursuant to Section
3.04 hereof, and (C) the date by which a Conversion Notice must be delivered to the Company to convert Class A Convertible Preferred Units into Class B-2 Common Units prior to such Distribution, and (ii) given the opportunity to convert
their Class A Convertible Preferred Units into Class B-2 Common Units pursuant to the terms of the Class A Distribution Notice and Section 3.04 hereof;
27
(c) third, 100% to the Class B Members, pro rata, in accordance with their respective
Class B Percentage Interests, until each Class B Member has been Distributed an amount equal to such Class B Member’s aggregate Capital Contributions in respect of each Class B Common Unit;

(e) thereafter, 100% to all the Members, pro rata based upon the aggregate number of
Class B Common Units and, subject to any Retained Distributions, Class P Units held by such Member as of the time of distribution in proportion to the aggregate number of all such Units outstanding as of the time of distribution.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Distributions with respect to Unvested Class P Units shall be retained by the Company (the “Retained
Distribution”) and paid to the Class P Member if and when such Unvested Class P Units become Vested Class P Units; provided, that a portion of any Retained Distribution may be Distributed to the
Class P Member as a Tax Distribution if the Class P Member is subject to income taxation on the items of income and gain attributable to such Retained Distribution in an amount determined by the Managing Member. If a Class P Unit is canceled or
forfeited prior to becoming a Vested Class P Unit, then any such Retained Distribution shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with this Section 7.02 immediately upon the Class P Member’s forfeiture of the Class P Units.
Section 7.03 Tax Distributions.
(a) For any taxable year (or portion thereof) during which the Company is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and to the extent that the
Managing Member reasonably determines that the Company has available funds (except as otherwise limited by the Act), the Company may, with the prior written consent of the Managing Member, make a distribution ratably among the Members in accordance
with their respective Qualifying Percentage Interests (a “Tax Distribution”) on a quarterly or other basis such that each Member receives pursuant to this Section 7.03 an amount equal to the excess (if any)
of (i) the product of (a) the taxable net income allocated to such Member pursuant to this Agreement (or an estimate thereof) in respect of any Fiscal Year, multiplied by (b) such Member’s Tax Rate, over (ii) the aggregate amount of cash
Distributions or expected cash Distributions to such Member in respect of such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 7.02 (as reasonably determined by the Managing Member). The Members shall cooperate with the Managing Member to
determine the applicable Tax Rate. All Tax Distributions made pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall (i) be treated as advances on Distributions otherwise payable under Section 7.02 (or Section 12.03)
so that the total amount distributed to a Member under Section 7.02 (or Section 12.03) and this Section 7.03 is the same as the amount that would have been distributed to such Member under Section 7.02 (or Section 12.03) had this Section 7.03 not been included in the Agreement, and (ii) be subject to the limitations on distributions pursuant to Section 7.01(b) and the
Managing Member’s reasonable determination based on amount of Distributable Cash, with any shortfall in amounts available for distribution to be prorated according to each Member’s relative Qualifying Percentage Interests; provided,
however, that any amount that should have been distributed to a Member in a given Fiscal Year and is not distributed in such Fiscal Year may be carried forward and added to the amount to be distributed in the immediately following
Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Members shall receive Tax Distributions pro rata in accordance with their respective Qualifying Percentage Interests.
28
(b) Subject to compliance with Section 4.12, each Class B-1 Member may loan to the Company an amount equal to a Tax Distribution (or portion thereof)
received by such Class B-1 Member pursuant to Section 7.03(a) that Parent determines, in its reasonable discretion, is in excess of the payment required by Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, both the existence and terms of any
such loan shall be subject to the prior written consent of each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and BCP, and shall be treated in accordance with Section 5.08 of this Agreement.
Section 7.04 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances.
(a) Tax Withholding. If requested by the Partnership Representative, each Member shall, if able to do so, deliver to the
Partnership Representative:
(i) an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Partnership Representative that the applicable Member (or its members, as the case may be) is not subject to withholding under the provisions
of any federal, state, local, foreign or other Applicable Law;
(ii) any certificate that the Partnership Representative may reasonably request with respect to any such laws; and/or
(iii) any other form or instrument reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative relating to any Member’s status under such law.
If a Member fails or is unable to deliver to the Partnership Representative the affidavit described in Section 7.04(a)(i), the Partnership Representative may withhold amounts from such Member in
accordance with Section 7.04(b).
(b) Withholding Advances. If a Member fails to satisfy the condition required under Section 7.04(a)(i), the Company is hereby authorized at all times to make payments (“Withholding Advances”) with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any
obligation of the Company (as determined by the Partnership Representative based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Company) to withhold or make payments to any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority (a “Taxing Authority”) with respect to any Distribution or allocation by the Company of income or gain to such Member and to withhold the same from Distributions to such Member. In the event that
the distributions or proceeds to the Company or any Company Subsidiary are reduced on account of taxes withheld at the source or any taxes are otherwise required to be paid by the Company and such taxes are imposed on or with respect to one or
more, but not all of the Members in the Company, the amount of the reduction shall be borne by the relevant Members and treated as if it were paid by the Company as a Withholding Advance with respect to such Members. Taxes imposed on the Company
where the rate of tax varies depending on characteristics of the Members shall be treated as taxes imposed on or with respect to the Members for purposes of the preceding sentence. Any funds withheld from a Distribution by reason of this Section 7.04(b) shall nonetheless be deemed Distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement and, at the option of the Partnership Representative, shall be charged against the Member’s Capital Account.
29
(c) Repayment of Withholding Advances. Any Withholding Advance made by the Company to a Taxing Authority on behalf of a Member
and not simultaneously withheld from a Distribution to that Member shall, with interest thereon accruing from the date of payment at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on
the date of payment plus two percent (2.0%) per annum:
(i) be promptly repaid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made (which repayment by the Member shall not constitute a Capital Contribution, but shall
credit the Member’s Capital Account if the Managing Member shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account); or
(ii) with the consent of the Partnership Representative, be repaid by reducing the amount of the next succeeding Distribution or Distributions to be made to such Member (which reduction
amount shall be deemed to have been Distributed to the Member, but which shall not further reduce the Member’s Capital Account if the Partnership Representative shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital
Account).
Interest shall cease to accrue from the time the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made repays such Withholding Advance (and all accrued interest) by either method of repayment described above.
(d) Imputed Underpayment. Any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of Code Section 6225 paid (or payable) by the Company as a
result of an adjustment with respect to any Company item, including any interest or penalties with respect to any such adjustment (collectively, an “Imputed Underpayment Amount”), shall be treated as if it
were paid by the Company as a Withholding Advance with respect to the appropriate Members. The Partnership Representative shall reasonably determine the portion of an Imputed Underpayment Amount attributable to each Member or former Member. The
portion of the Imputed Underpayment Amount that the Partnership Representative attributes to a Member shall be treated as a Withholding Advance with respect to such Member. The portion of the Imputed Underpayment Amount that the Partnership
Representative attributes to a former Member shall be treated as a Withholding Advance with respect to both such former Member and such former Member’s transferee(s) or assignee(s), as applicable, and the Partnership Representative may in its
reasonable discretion exercise the Company’s rights pursuant to this Section in respect of either or both of the former Member and its transferee or assignee. Imputed Underpayment Amounts treated as a Withholding Advance also shall include any
imputed underpayment within the meaning of Code Section 6225 paid (or payable) by any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which the Company holds (or has held) a direct or indirect interest other than through
entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent that the Company bears the economic burden of such amounts, whether by law or agreement.
(e) Indemnification. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against
any liability with respect to taxes, interest or penalties which may be asserted by reason of the Company’s failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts Distributable or allocable to such Member. The provisions of this Section 7.04(e)
and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 7.04(e) shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or Transfer of its Units. The
Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 7.04(e), including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances.
30
(f) Overwithholding. Neither the Company nor the Partnership Representative shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in
respect of any Distribution or allocation of income or gain to a Member. In the event of an overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority.
Section 7.05 Distributions in Kind.
(a) The Managing Member is hereby authorized, in its sole discretion, to make Distributions to the Members in the form of securities or other property held by the Company;
provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any and all Distributions to Class A Members and Class B-2 Members shall be in cash. In any non-cash Distribution, the securities or property so Distributed will
be Distributed among the Members in the same proportion and priority as cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such securities or property would be Distributed among the Members pursuant to Section 7.02.
(b) Any Distribution of securities shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Managing Member determines are required or advisable to ensure compliance
with Applicable Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Managing Member may require that the Members execute and deliver such documents as the Managing Member may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all federal and state
securities laws that apply to such Distribution and any further Transfer of the Distributed securities, and may appropriately legend the certificates that represent such securities to reflect any restriction on Transfer with respect to such laws.
ARTICLE VIII
Management
Section 8.01 Management by the Managing Member. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement,
the Managing Member shall be deemed to be a “manager” for purposes of applying the Act. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Delaware Act, the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be managed, operated and
controlled by or under the direction of the Managing Member. The Managing Member is, to the extent of its rights and powers set forth in this Agreement, an agent of the Company for the purposes of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business and
affairs, and the actions of the Managing Member taken in accordance with such rights and powers, shall bind the Company (and no other Member shall have such right). Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall have, and
is hereby granted, the full and complete power, authority and discretion for, on behalf of and in the name of the Company, to take such actions as it may in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable to carry out any and all of the objectives
and purposes of the Company, subject only to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Officers. The Managing Member may appoint individuals as officers of the Company (the “Officers”) as it deems necessary or desirable to carry on the business of the Company and the Managing Member may delegate to such Officers such power and authority as the Managing Member deems advisable. No
Officer need be a Member. Any individual may hold two or more offices of the Company. Each Officer shall hold office until his or her successor is designated by the Managing Member or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Any
Officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Managing Member. Any Officer may be removed by the Managing Member at any time. A vacancy in any office occurring because of death, resignation, removal or otherwise, may, but need not, be
filled by the Managing Member.
31
Section 8.03 No Personal Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Act, by Applicable Law or
expressly in this Agreement, no Officer or Member will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or of any Company Subsidiaries, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being an Officer
or Member or any combination of the foregoing.
ARTICLE IX
Transfer
Section 9.01 General Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that such Member (or any Permitted Transferee of such Member) shall not Transfer any Units or Unit Equivalents except as permitted
pursuant to Section 4.05 or Section 9.02 or in accordance with the procedures described in Section 9.02.
(b) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units or Unit Equivalents in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the
Company’s books and the purported Transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported Transferor shall continue be treated) as the owner of such Units or Unit Equivalents for all purposes of this Agreement.
Section 9.02 Permitted Transfers. The provisions of Section 9.01(a) shall not apply to any
of the following Transfers by any Member of any of its Units or Unit Equivalents; provided, that the provisions of Section 9.03 will apply to the extent expressly stated therein:
(a) Transfer by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, BCP or any Emerald Lake Investor to any of their respective Affiliates;
(b) Transfers by any Class A Members or Class P Members, other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇, BCP or any Emerald Lake Investor, to any trust or other estate planning vehicle controlled by
such Class A Member or Class P Member for the benefit of such Class A Member or Class P Member or such Class A Member’s or Class P Member’s Family Members;
(c) Transfers with the prior written consent of all of the Managing Member, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and BCP; and
(d) Transfer occurring pursuant to Section 9.03.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall be permitted if the Managing Member determines that it creates a material risk (alone or together with other Transfers) that the Company may become
treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.
Any Imputed Underpayment Amount that is properly allocable to an assignor of an interest, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member, shall be treated as a Withholding Advance with respect to
the applicable assignee in accordance with Section 7.04. Furthermore, as a condition to any assignment, each assignor shall be required to agree (i) to continue to comply with the provisions of Section 7.04 and Section 11.02 notwithstanding such assignment, and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all liability with respect to the assignee’s Withholding Advance resulting from Imputed Underpayment Amounts
attributable to the assignor to the extent that the assignee fails to do so.
32
Section 9.03 Tag-Along Rights.If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP is converting or exchanging (howsoever structured) all or any
portion of its Class A Convertible Preferred Units into or for Equity Securities of any other Affiliated Entity (such Equity Securities, the “Exchange Consideration”), the Company will cause the applicable
Affiliated Entity to provide each other Class A Member and the Class P Member with (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ advanced written notice thereof (a “Tag-Along Notice”) and (b) the right and
opportunity, but not the obligation, to exchange or convert (i) up to all of such Class A Member’s Class A Convertible Preferred Units, at the same amount of Exchange Consideration per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP, as
applicable, and (ii) the same percentage of the Class P Member’s Class P Units as the percentage of Class A Convertible Preferred Units converted or exchanged by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP, as applicable, at an amount of Exchange Consideration per Class P Unit
determined by reference to the fair market value of the Exchange Consideration to be received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP, as applicable, per Unit, less the Capital Contribution amounts with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP Unit, and on substantially the same
other terms and conditions as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP, as applicable, in each case, with respect to both the immediately preceding clause (i) and clause (ii), subject to any applicable legal, regulatory and tax considerations (a “Tag-Along Opportunity”) provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the effectiveness of any participation election with respect to any Unvested Class P Unit will be delayed until, and
conditioned upon, such Unvested Class P Unit becoming a Vested Class P Unit, and, accordingly, such participation will be on such terms and conditions as the Managing Member determines necessary or advisable (subject to being at the price specified
in the immediately preceding clause (ii)). The Tag-Along Notice shall specify the Exchange Consideration per Class A Convertible Preferred Unit and the type of Equity Securities to be received. As used in this Section 9.03, the
“fair market value” of the Exchange Consideration and the amount of Exchange Consideration per Class P Unit shall be determined promptly in good faith by the Managing Member following the request of the Class P Member. If a Class A Member or the
Class P Member desires to accept a Tag-Along Opportunity, it must respond affirmatively in writing to the applicable Company Group Member and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP (as applicable) by no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the Tag-Along
Notice, which acceptance will be an irrevocable commitment to participate in the Tag-Along Opportunity and will require the Class A Member and/or the Class P Member to enter into (x) with respect to Class A Units and Vested Class P Units,
substantially identical agreements and documents as Abrams or BCP, as applicable, in connection with the Tag-Along Opportunity and (y) with respect to Unvested Class P Units, such agreements and documents as the Managing Member determines necessary
or advisable consistent with the first sentence of this Section 9.03. If a Class A Member or the Class P Member either rejects a Tag-Along Opportunity or does not respond to a Tag-Along Notice by fifteen (15) Business Days after
the date of the Tag-Along Notice, then such Class A Member or the Class P Member, as applicable, will be deemed to have irrevocably waived the right to participate in that Tag-Along Opportunity, but not any future Tag-Along Opportunities (if any).
The aggregate Exchange Consideration payable for the Units converted or exchanged by any Member pursuant to this Section 9.03 will be allocated among the Members participating in such conversion or exchange based upon the
Liquidation Value of such Member’s Units so converted or exchanged. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP (a) converts any of its Class A Convertible Preferred Units into Class B-2 Common Units, the provisions of this Section 9.03 shall apply mutatis mutandis to those converted Class B-2 Common Units and (b) Transfers any of its Units to any other Person, such Person shall, by execution of a joinder to this Agreement, become automatically bound by
and subject to the provisions of this Section 9.03 with respect to such Units on the same terms as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP, as the case may be. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees not to recognize, give effect to, or permit
any Transfer by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP unless the transferee signs a joinder to this Agreement.

Covenants
Section 10.01 Confidentiality.
(a) Each Member acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement, such Member will have access to and become acquainted with trade secrets, proprietary information and
confidential information belonging to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that are not generally known to the public, including, but not limited to, information concerning business plans, financial statements and other information provided
pursuant to this Agreement, operating practices and methods, expansion plans, strategic plans, marketing plans, contracts, customer lists or other business documents which the Company treats as confidential, in any format whatsoever (including
oral, written, electronic or any other form or medium) (collectively, “Confidential Information”). In addition, each Member acknowledges that: (i) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries
have invested, and continue to invest, substantial time, expense and specialized knowledge in developing its Confidential Information; (ii) the Confidential Information provides the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with a competitive advantage
over others in the marketplace; and (iii) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries would be irreparably harmed if the Confidential Information were disclosed to competitors or made available to the public. Without limiting the applicability of any
other agreement to which any Member is subject, no Member shall, directly or indirectly, disclose (other than solely for the purposes of such Member monitoring and analyzing their investment in the Company or performing their duties as a Managing
Member, Officer, employee, consultant or other service provider of any member of the Company Group) at any time, either during their association or employment with the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries or during the six month period
thereafter, any Confidential Information of which such Member is or becomes aware. Each Member in possession of Confidential Information shall take all appropriate steps to safeguard such information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse,
espionage, loss and theft.
(b) Nothing contained in Section 10.01(a) shall prevent any Member from disclosing Confidential Information: (i) upon the order of any court or
administrative agency; (ii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Member; (iii) to the extent compelled by legal process or required or requested pursuant to subpoena, interrogatories or
other discovery requests; (iv) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder; (v) to other Members; (vi) to such Member’s Affiliates; (vii) to such Member’s Representatives who, in the reasonable judgment of such
Member, need to know such Confidential Information and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.01 as if a Member; (viii) to any potential Permitted Transferee in connection with a proposed Transfer of Units from such
Member, as long as such Transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.01 as if a Member; (ix) with respect to the Class A Members and the Class B Members, to their and their respective Affiliates’ current and
potential investors in the ordinary course of business; or (x) with respect to any holder of Class A Convertible Preferred Units, to its current and potential financing sources.
Section 10.02 Restrictive Covenants. Each Member shall be subject to the following covenants of this Section 10.02.
34
(a) Non-disparagement. Each Member agrees that, while a Member and for a period of six (6) months from the date such Member (or
its Permitted Transferees) ceases to be a Member, no Member shall make any public statements, in writing or orally, that disparages any Company Group Member or any of their respective officers or directors; provided,
that the foregoing shall not be violated by, and such Member shall not be restricted from, (i) making statements in response to any legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including
depositions in connection with such proceedings), or (ii) any communications made by each Member in connection with any legal proceeding between or involving such Member, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Affiliates, officers,
directors, managers, employees, shareholders, or agent, on the other hand.
(b) Blue Pencil. The covenants contained in this Section 10.02 shall be construed as a series of separate
covenants, one for each country, province, state, city or other political subdivision encompassing the Restricted Business. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in
this Section 10.02. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants set forth in this Section 10.02, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of
such provision, such court shall have the power to modify any such unenforceable provision to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced, in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision
from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Section 10.02 or by making such other modifications as it deems
warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof),
then the parties agree that such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. The parties hereto expressly
agree that this Agreement as so modified shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them.
(c) Remedies. Each Member acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10.02 may cause irreparable damage to the Company, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach or threatened breach would be inadequate. Accordingly,
each Member agrees that if such Member breaches or threatens to breach any of the covenants contained in this Section 10.02, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company
shall be entitled to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent the breach or any threatened breach thereof without bond or other security or a showing that
monetary damages will not provide an adequate remedy.
Section 10.03 Parent Limited Purpose Covenant. Parent hereby agrees that it shall not engage in any business,
operation or activity whatsoever, or own any assets, incur any liabilities or obligations, or enter into any agreement or arrangement, except solely to (i) own, hold and manage (including voting) the equity interests of the Company owned by it in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) comply with reporting, filing and other obligations under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, stock exchange listing standards and other Applicable Law; provided,
that, in addition to the foregoing, Parent may (A) declare and pay cash dividends or make other cash distributions, (B) pay discharge, settle or otherwise satisfy liabilities of Parent, and (C) pay vendors in the ordinary course of business and
consistent with past practice. Parent shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of its equity interests in the Company (including any transfer to any Affiliate) without the prior written
consent of each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and BCP. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no implied powers and shall not take any other action except as expressly permitted in this Section 10.03.

(a) The Managing Member shall be designated as the Partnership Representative, and is further authorized to designate any individual as the “designated individual” for the
Company, who shall have all the powers of the Partnership Representative hereunder. Each Member hereby consents to each such designation and agrees that upon the request of the Partnership Representative, it will execute, certify, acknowledge,
swear to, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such consent. The Managing Member is authorized and empowered in the name of and on behalf of the Company to revoke a
designation of any Person as the Partnership Representative and appoint a successor Partnership Representative. Without limitation of any right to reimbursement or indemnification under this Agreement, the Partnership Representative shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by the Company for all costs and expenses incurred in its capacity as such and to be indemnified by the Company (solely out of Company assets) with respect to any action brought against it in connection with serving in
such capacity.

matters of the Company and shall be permitted to take any and all actions under the BBA Rules, and shall have any and all powers necessary to perform fully in such capacity. In such regard, the authority of the Partnership Representative shall
include the authority to represent the Company before taxing authorities and courts in tax matters affecting the Company and the Members in their capacity as such and the authority, in its sole discretion, to make any election under the BBA Rules,
including the election under Section 6226 of the Code, in connection with any tax proceeding; provided that the Partnership Representative shall in all cases act at the direction of the Managing Member and, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to
the consent rights set forth in Section 4.12 and provided further that, to the extent that the Partnership Representative will take any action that will have a material disproportionate impact on the Class A Members, the
Partnership Representative shall consult with the Class A Members before taking any such action.
(c) Any Member (including any former Member) that receives communications from, or is otherwise in dispute with, any taxing authority in relation to a matter relating to the
Company, including the amount or treatment of any Company item reflected on such Member’s IRS Schedule K-1, shall notify the Partnership Representative within thirty (30) days or as promptly as practicable thereafter following the occurrence of the
dispute, and if the Partnership Representative reasonably determines that the matter is of material relevance to the tax position of the Company, such Member shall consult in good faith with the Partnership Representative (or any advisor appointed
by the Board for the purpose). Any Member (including any former Member) that enters into a settlement agreement with respect to any Company item shall notify the Partnership Representative of such settlement agreement and its terms within thirty
(30) days or as promptly as practicable thereafter following such agreement. Each Member shall cooperate and otherwise provide the Partnership Representative any tax information reasonably requested (including providing information in connection
with Section 743 of the Code) so that the Partnership Representative can implement the provisions of this Section 11.02 (including by making any election permitted hereunder), can file any tax return of the Company and can conduct
any tax proceeding or similar proceeding of the Company. The Partnership Representative shall be reimbursed by the Company for all costs and expenses incurred by such Person in acting as the Partnership Representative, and without limitation of
any right to reimbursement or indemnification under this Agreement, the Partnership Representative shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company (solely out of Company assets) with respect to any action brought against it in connection with
serving in such capacity.
37
(d) Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or Section 4.12, all elections required or permitted to be made by the Company under the Code or other
U.S. state or local income tax law shall be made in such manner as determined by the Partnership Representative, including the election under Section 6226 of the Code. Each Member and former Member shall provide the Partnership Representative with
any information in its possession or which it could obtain without undue cost or expense reasonably necessary for the Company to comply with Section 704(c), 734, 743, 754 of the Code or, to the extent applicable, Treasury Regulation Section
1.761-3.
(e) Each Member shall report any and all items of Company income, gain, deduction, loss and credit and any other Company tax related items or treatment in a manner
consistent with the IRS Schedule K-1 (and each other applicable tax return) provided to such Member by the Company with respect to such items. Each Member hereby undertakes promptly to provide to the Company, at its request, any and all
information, statements or certificates which the Partnership Representative or the Managing Member may at any time judge reasonably necessary to comply with the tax laws of any jurisdiction, file any tax return, conduct any tax proceeding,
determine the amount of Tax Distributions that are appropriately made to a Member or minimize any obligation which the Company may have to withhold tax on distributions to such Member (or any amount which would otherwise be withheld from the
Company in respect of such Member).
(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no entitlement of any Class A Member in respect of its Class A Convertible Preferred Units shall be treated as giving rise to any guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c), amount described under Code Section 707(a), gross income allocation, “capital shift,” compensation for services, or any
similar amount or treatment for U.S. federal (or applicable state or local) income tax purposes. The Company shall file all Tax returns and otherwise report consistent with, and shall not take any position in any Tax audit or otherwise inconsistent
with, the foregoing treatment, except as otherwise required by a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code), by reason of a change in applicable Law after the date hereof or as otherwise consented to by BCP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

the members reasonably informed as to the status of any such audit or other tax proceeding; and
(ii) the Partnership Representative is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations or audits of, or other tax proceedings
with respect to, the Company’s affairs by Taxing Authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith; provided,
that BCP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be permitted to participate in any such audit or other proceeding at its own expense and the Partnership Representative shall not settle any material audit or other proceeding without the prior written consent of BCP and
▇▇▇▇▇▇ (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(h) Survival. The provisions of this Section 11.02 and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section
11.02 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or Transfer of its Units. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have
against each Member under this Section 11.02.
38
Section 11.03 Tax Returns.
(a) Within one hundred twenty (120) days, following the last day of each tax year of the Company, the Company shall prepare and make available, or cause its accountants to
prepare and make available, to each Member and, to the extent necessary, to each former Member (or its legal representatives), a report setting forth in sufficient detail such information as shall enable such Member or former Member (or such
Member’s legal representatives) to prepare its U.S. federal income tax return in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations then prevailing including the Schedule K-1, provided that if the Company has not delivered such report within 75 days
following the last day of each tax year of the Company, then within 75 days following the last day of each tax year, the Company shall deliver an estimated report with the best available information as of that date. The Managing Member or its
designated agent shall prepare and file, or cause the accountants of the Company to prepare and file, any required U.S. federal information tax return in compliance with Section 6031 of the Code and any required state, local and non-U.S. income tax

reasonable comments.
(b) By November 1 of each calendar year, the Company shall provide to each Member a report showing the estimated year-to date taxable income (which considers all the
different characters of taxable income) and any state sourced income, nonresident state income tax withholding, and unrelated business taxable income in respect of the Company.
(c) By February 1 of each calendar year, the Company shall provide to each Member a report showing estimated taxable income (which considers all the different characters
of taxable income) and any state sourced income, nonresident state income tax withholding, and unrelated business taxable income for the preceding calendar year in respect of the Company.
Section 11.04 Company Funds. All funds of the Company shall be deposited in its name, or in such name as may be
designated by the Managing Member, in such checking, savings or other accounts, or held in its name in the form of such other investments as shall be designated by the Managing Member. The funds of the Company shall not be commingled with the funds
of any other Person. All withdrawals of such deposits or liquidations of such investments by the Company shall be made exclusively upon the signature or signatures of such Officer or Officers as the Managing Member may designate.
ARTICLE XII

and the Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled as provided in Section 12.04.
39
Section 12.03 Liquidation. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 12.01, the Company
shall be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the Delaware Act and the following provisions:
(a) Liquidator. The Liquidator shall have full power and authority to sell, assign, and encumber any or all of the Company’s
assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner.
(b) Accounting. As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper
accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as
applicable.
(c) Distribution of Proceeds.
(i) The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company and Distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of Applicable Law:
| (A) |
first, to the payment of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities, and the expenses of liquidation (including sales commissions incident to any sales of assets of the Company);
|
| (B) |
second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion to be reasonably necessary for any contingent liabilities or
obligations of the Company;
|
| (C) |
third, to Parent, in one or more Distributions at the discretion of the Managing Member to satisfy any Business Needs that accrued or arose following the Original Closing Date;
|
| (D) |
fourth, to the Class A Members, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Class A Percentage Interests, until each Class A Member has been Distributed an amount equal to such Class A Member’s aggregate Capital Contributions in respect of Class A Convertible Preferred Units; provided, that prior to the making of any Distribution pursuant to this Section
12.03(c)(i)(D), each Class A Member shall have been (i) provided a Class A Distribution Notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Distribution including reasonable detail as to (A) the amount of such Distribution with
respect to the Class A Convertible Preferred Units and the Class B Common Units, (B) the amount of such Distribution with respect to the Class A Convertible Preferred Units and the Class B Common Units if the Class A Convertible Preferred
Units were converted into Class B-2 Common Units prior to such Distribution pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof, and (C) the date by which a Conversion Notice must be delivered to the Company to convert Class A Convertible

Notice and Section 3.04 hereof;
|
40
| (E) |
fifth, 100% to the Class B Members, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Class B Percentage Interests, until each Class B Member has
been Distributed an amount equal to such Class B Member’s aggregate Capital Contributions in respect of Class B Common Units;
|
| (F) |
sixth, subject to any Retained Distributions, 100% to the Class P Member until the total Distributions made in respect of the Class P Units is an amount equal to the Class P Percentage

thereafter, 100% to all the Members, pro rata based upon the aggregate number of Class B Common Units and, subject to any Retained Distributions,
Class P Units held by such Member as of the time of distribution in proportion to the aggregate number of all such Units outstanding as of the time of distribution.
|
(d) Discretion of Liquidator. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.03(c) that require the liquidation of
the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 12.03(c), if upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be
impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may, in its absolute discretion, Distribute to the Members, in lieu
of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.03(c), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such Distribution in kind will be subject
to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such Distribution,
any property to be Distributed will be valued at its Fair Market Value.
Section 12.04 Cancellation of Certificate. Upon completion of the Distribution of the assets of the Company
as provided in Section 12.03(c) hereof, the Company shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the
Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.
Section 12.05 Survival of Rights, Duties and Obligations. Dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination
of the Company for any reason shall not release any party from any Loss which at the time of such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination already had accrued to any other party or which thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or
omission prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall replace, diminish or otherwise adversely affect any Member’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section
13.03.
Section 12.06 Recourse for Claims. Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all
Distributions with respect to the Company, such Member’s Capital Account, and such Member’s share of Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise)
against the Managing Member, the Liquidator or any other Member.

ARTICLE XIII
Exculpation and Indemnification
Section 13.01 Exculpation of Covered Persons.
(a) Covered Persons. As used herein, the term “Covered Person” shall
mean (i) each Member, (ii) the Managing Member in its capacity as such, (iii) each officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, controlling Affiliate, employee, agent or representative of each Member, and each of their controlling Affiliates,
(iv) each Officer, employee, agent or representative of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries and (v) the Partnership Representative.
(b) Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim
incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in good-faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, or a breach of any of
the terms of this Agreement by such Covered Person.
(c) Good Faith Reliance. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and
upon such information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Income or Net Losses of the Company or any facts
pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) one or more Officers or employees of the Company; (ii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other
expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company or the Managing Member; or (iii) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company or the Managing Member, in each case as to matters that such relying
Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in § 18-406 of the Delaware Act.
Section 13.02 Liabilities and Duties of Covered Persons. No Covered Person shall have any duty to, or
otherwise be liable to, the Company or any other Member except as expressly set forth herein or in other written agreements and the waiver of duties and limitations of liability set forth in this Section 13.02 shall apply to each
such Person’s capacity as a Member (including as the Managing Member) or Officer.
(a) No Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any and all fiduciary duties of any Covered Person to
the Company, any Company Subsidiary or to another Member or to another person shall be eliminated to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware Act and any other applicable law. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they
restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.
42
(b) Further, whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Covered Person’s “discretion” or
under a grant of similar authority or latitude), the Covered Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Covered Person desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any
consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision in such Covered Person’s “good faith,” the Covered Person shall act under
such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other Applicable Law.
Section 13.03 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended,
substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Delaware Act
permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay and reimburse any Covered Person against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or
liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of:
(i) Any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company, any Member or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the foregoing in
connection with the business of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; or
(ii) The fact that such Covered Person is or was acting in connection with the business of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a partner, member, stockholder, controlling Affiliate,
manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, any Member, or any of their respective controlling Affiliates, or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, member,
manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any Person including the Company or any Company Subsidiary;
provided, that (x) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and,
with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, and (y) such Covered Person’s conduct did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct, in either case as determined by a final,
nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s conduct was
unlawful, or that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted fraud or willful misconduct; provided, further, that, unless the Managing Member otherwise determines, no Person shall be entitled to
indemnification hereunder with respect to a proceeding initiated by such Person or with respect to a proceeding between such Person on the one hand and any of the Company or its Subsidiaries on the other.
(b) Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Covered Person
for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.03; provided, that if it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 13.03, then such Covered Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses.
43
(c) Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 13.03 shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 13.03 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person
regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 13.03 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors,
administrators, legatees and distributees of such Covered Person.
(d) Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company shall purchase and maintain, at its expense
as determined by the Managing Member, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person’s duties in such amount
and with such deductibles as the Managing Member may determine; provided, that the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the
indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage,
then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company in respect of such Losses. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Covered
Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Parent or its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries). The Company hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, (i)
that it is an indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to each of the Covered Persons are primary and any obligation of Parent or its Affiliates to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities
incurred by or on behalf of any of the Covered Persons is secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by or on behalf of each of the Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of all
Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, the Delaware Act), without regard to any rights such Covered Persons may have against Parent or its Affiliates (including under
director and officer insurance policies), and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases Parent and its Affiliates from any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The
Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by Parent or its Affiliates on behalf of a Covered Persons with respect to any claim for which a Covered Person has sought indemnification from the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall
affect the foregoing, and Parent and its Affiliates shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of a Covered Person against the Company or any Subsidiary of
the Company. The Company and each of the Covered Persons agree that Parent and its respective Affiliates are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 13.03(d).
(e) Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the
Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 13.03 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on
account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.
44
(f) Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, if any Covered Person may be
entitled to indemnification, advancement or reimbursement from both the Company and Abrams or BCP (or any of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ or BCP’s respective Affiliates), then the Company shall be the indemnitor, provider of advancement and/or provider of
reimbursement, as applicable, of first resort, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or BCP (or any of their respective Affiliates), as appliable, shall be the indemnitor, provider of advancement and/or provider of reimbursement of last resort.
(g) Savings Clause. If this Section 13.03 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court
of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 13.03 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section
13.03 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.
(h) Amendment. The provisions of this Section 13.03 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand,
and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 13.03 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment,
modification or repeal of this Section 13.03 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification or repeal
shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person’s prior written consent.
Section 13.04 Survival. The provisions of this Article XIII shall survive the dissolution,
liquidation, winding up and termination of the Company.
ARTICLE XIV
Miscellaneous
Section 14.01 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including fees

Section 14.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience or reference only and are
in no way intended to describe, interpret, define, or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.
Section 14.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable under Applicable Law 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.
Section 14.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Certificate of Formation and all related
Exhibits and Schedules, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements,
representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
Section 14.07 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers set forth herein, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
Section 14.08 No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article XIII, which shall
be for the benefit of and enforceable by Covered Persons as described therein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto (and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns) and nothing herein, express
or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any creditor of the Company, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
46
Section 14.09 Amendment.
(a) No provision of this Agreement or the Certificate of Formation of the Company may be amended, modified, restated, repealed or waived (by amendment, merger,
consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise) except by a writing that is executed by the Managing Member after having received all consents required with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.12; provided,
that no such amendment or modification shall be effective as to a particular Member if such amendment would by its express terms materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of such Member hereunder in a manner disproportionate to the
effect on other Members similarly situated, in each case, unless such Member has voted or consented in writing in favor thereof. In addition to, and not in limitation of the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or modified so as to impose
upon any Member (x) personal liability for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or (y) any new or additional Capital Contribution, in each case, without the written consent of such Member.
(b) Any amendment in accordance with Section 14.09(a) shall be binding upon each Member and the Company.
(c) Subject to compliance with each of Section 4.12 and Section 14.09(a) above, this Agreement may be amended from time to time in each
and every manner deemed necessary or appropriate by the Managing Member to comply with the then existing requirements of the Code and the Treasury Regulations affecting the Company or any other provision of applicable law or regulation.
(d) Subject to compliance with each of Section 4.12 and Section 14.09(a) above, the Managing Member shall be entitled to amend, amend and
restate, or authorize the amendment, or amendment and restatement of, the Certificate of Formation from time to time to reflect any action, matter or change (whether an amendment to this Agreement or otherwise) approved by the Class A Members
holding the majority of the Class A Convertible Preferred Units and the Class B Members.
Section 14.10 Waiver. No waiver by any party 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. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 14.10 shall diminish any of the waivers set forth in this Agreement, including in Section 4.07(e), Section 13.02(a), Section 13.03(d) and Section 14.13 hereof.
Section 14.11 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the application, construction, validity,
interpretation and enforcement of 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) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.
47
Section 14.12 Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking
to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware (or in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware located in New Castle County, Delaware or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), so long as one of such courts
shall have subject-matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties
hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient form. Service of process,
summons, notice or other document by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 14.03 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court.
Section 14.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby 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.
Section 14.14 Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall, or shall cause an applicable Company Group Member to,
reimburse each of BCP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for all reasonably documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including external legal fees) incurred by BCP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on or prior to the date hereof in connection with the negotiation, execution and performance
of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any expenses of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that constitute “Company Transaction Expenses” pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall not be subject to reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 14.15 Equitable Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such
party of any of its obligations under this Agreement may give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties, for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such
party of any such obligations, each of the other parties hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining
order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).
Section 14.16 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in
addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 13.02 to the contrary.
Section 14.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed 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.
