Investor Rights Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, PTIC II, the Sponsor, the Company Unitholders, and certain other equityholders of PTIC II will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement, which, provides that PTIC II will agree to register for resale certain PTIC II Class A Shares and other equity securities of PTIC II that are held by the parties thereto from time to time. The Investor Rights Agreement provides for underwritten offerings and piggyback registration rights, in each case subject to certain limitations set forth therein.

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, certain of the parties thereto will agree to a 180-day lock-up from the Closing Date, subject to certain limitations set forth therein.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, PTIC II, the Company, NewCo LLC, the Rolling Company Unitholders (excluding St. Cloud) and Lake Street will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement.

3

Cantor Purchase Agreement

On May 17, 2022, PTIC II entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Cantor Purchase Agreement”) with CF Principal Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”), relating to a committed equity facility (the “Committed Equity Facility”). Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, PTIC II will have the right from time to time at its option following the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement to sell to the Investor up to the lesser of (i) $100 million of PTIC II Class A Shares and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below), subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

Following the Closing, and upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to the Investor’s obligation to purchase PTIC II Class A Shares set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement” and such date the “Commencement Date”), PTIC II will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion until the first day of the month following the 36-month period from and after the Commencement, to direct the Investor to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of PTIC II Class A Shares as set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement by delivering written notice to the Investor prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day. The purchase price of the PTIC II Class A Shares that PTIC II elects to sell to the Investor pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement will be 98% of the volume weighted average price of the PTIC II Class A Shares during the applicable purchase date on which PTIC II has timely delivered written notice to the Investor directing it to purchase PTIC II Class A Shares under the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

Sales of PTIC II Class A Shares to the Investor under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by PTIC II from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of PTIC II Class A Shares and determinations by PTIC II regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the PTIC II Class A Shares are sold to the Investor.

Under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, in no event may PTIC II issue to the Investor under the Cantor Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the voting power or number of PTIC II Class A Shares outstanding, calculated in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) PTIC II obtains stockholder approval to issue PTIC II Class A Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, or (ii) the average purchase price per share for all of the PTIC II Class A Shares sold to the Investor under the Cantor Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds a minimum price as set forth in the Nasdaq rules.

In connection with the execution of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, PTIC II agreed to pay to the Investor on the Commencement Date the number of PTIC II Class A Shares equal to the quotient of $2,000,000 divided by the closing price of the PTIC II Class A Shares on the determination date (the “Commitment Shares”) as consideration for the Investor’s irrevocable commitment to purchase the PTIC II Class A Shares upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. The Cantor Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Cantor Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Cantor Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and are subject to certain important limitations.

PTIC II has the right to terminate the Cantor Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon three trading days’ prior written notice. No termination of the Cantor Purchase Agreement will alter or otherwise affect PTIC II’s obligations under the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).

Cantor Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with PTIC II’s entry into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, at the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, PTIC II will enter into a registration rights agreement with the Investor (the “Cantor Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which PTIC will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the PTIC II Class A Shares that are sold to the Investor under the Committed Equity Facility and the Commitment Shares.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or PTIC II’s or the Company’s future financial or operating performance, and other “forward-looking statements” (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, and/or PTIC II and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, PTIC II, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement; (3) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of PTIC II, to obtain financing to complete the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) the failure of any condition precedent to the Committed Equity Facility which could cause the termination of such facility; (5) changes to the proposed structure of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (6) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (7) the risk that the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement disrupt current plans and operations of the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (9) costs related to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (12) the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (13) the failure to realize anticipated pro forma results or projections and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions, purchase price and other adjustments; and (14) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in PTIC II’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, in the Proxy Statement relating to the business combination to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in subsequent filings with the SEC, including the definitive proxy statement relating to the business combination. There may be additional risks that neither PTIC II nor the Company presently know or that PTIC II and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

5

Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither the Company nor PTIC II undertakes any duty, and each of the Company and PTIC II expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter this Current Report on Form 8-K or any projections or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 9.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE (IF ANY), IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 9.16 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any state or federal court within the State of New York, New York County), for the purposes of any Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party (i) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (A) any claim that such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 9.16 for any reason, (B) that such Party or such Party’s property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced against such Party in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 9.4 shall be effective service of process for any such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action.

Section 9.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

97

(b)By consenting to this Agreement, or accepting any consideration as contemplated by Article 2, each Rolling Company Unitholder agrees and acknowledges that other than the Sellers’ Representative, no other Person has any agreement or option, or any right or privilege (whether by law, pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the right and power to act with respect to any matter the Rolling Company Unitholder is authorized to act as contemplated in this Section 9.18. Lake Street hereby (i) accepts its appointment as the Sellers’ Representative and authorization to act as attorney-in-fact and agent on behalf of each Rolling Company Unitholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any Ancillary Document to which Sellers’ Representative is a party and (ii) agrees to perform his obligations hereunder and thereunder and otherwise comply with this Agreement and any Ancillary Document to which Sellers’ Representative is party.

(c)PTIC II, Sponsor and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action or decision of the Sellers’ Representative in all matters referred to herein. PTIC II and Sponsor are entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Representative on all matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to which Sellers’ Representative is a party. Any action taken or not taken or decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by the Sellers’ Representative with respect to all such matters, for or on behalf of any Rolling Company Unitholder, shall be deemed an action taken or not taken or decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by such Company Unitholder. Any notice or communication delivered to the Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to all the Rolling Company Unitholders. PTIC II and Sponsor shall be entitled to disregard any decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by any Company Unitholder in connection with any matter arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to which the Sellers’ Representative is a party, unless the same is made, given or executed by the Sellers’ Representative.

(d)The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative as each Rolling Company Unitholder’s attorney-in-fact revokes any power of attorney heretofore granted that authorized any other Person or Persons to act as agent and to represent such Rolling Company Unitholder with regard to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which Sellers’ Representative is a party. The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Rolling Company Unitholder and (ii) shall survive the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative may resign as the Sellers’ Representative at any time by providing written notice to PTIC II (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing), which resignation shall become effective upon appointment of a successor Sellers’ Representative (who is reasonably acceptable to PTIC II (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing)) by the Rolling Company Unitholders constituting a majority of the Company Units immediately prior to the Effective Time. All power, authority, rights, privileges and obligations conferred in this Agreement to the Sellers’ Representative shall apply to any such successor Sellers’ Representative.

98

(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which Sellers’ Representative is or will be a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been (or, in the case of any Ancillary Document entered into after the date of this Agreement, will be upon execution thereof) duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Sellers’ Representative. This Agreement and each Ancillary Document to which Sellers’ Representative is or will be a party has been or will be upon execution thereof, duly and validly executed and delivered by Sellers’ Representative and constitutes or will constitute, upon execution and delivery thereof, as applicable, a valid, legal and binding agreement of Sellers’ Representative, enforceable against Sellers’ Representative in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity).

(iii)Sellers’ Representative has the sole power, authority and control of the Rolling Company Unitholders with respect to the matters relating to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including as contemplated in Section 9.18(a), and in general to do all other things and to perform all other acts, including executing and delivering all agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions, and other instruments, contemplated by, or deemed advisable in connection with, this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, in each case on behalf of a Rolling Company Unitholder.

Section 9.19 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of PTIC II, filed with the SEC (File Nos. 333-249477) on November 30, 2020 (the “Prospectus”). Each of the Company and the Sellers’ Representative acknowledges and agrees and understands that PTIC II has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of PTIC II’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by PTIC II’s underwriters), and PTIC II may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of PTIC II entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Sellers’ Representative hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its respective Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company or the Sellers’ Representative or any of their respective Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). Each of the Company and the Sellers’ Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its respective Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with PTIC II or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with PTIC II or its Affiliates).

Section 9.20 Acknowledgement; Waiver of Conflicts; Retention of Privilege.

(a)Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A.

100

The Company and each Member shall file all tax returns and shall otherwise take all tax, financial and other reporting positions in a manner consistent with the Company Intended Tax Treatment. Neither the Company nor any Member shall take any action inconsistent with the Company Intended Tax Treatment. No election (including an entity classification election for the Company) contrary to the Company Intended Tax Treatment shall be made by the Company or any Member, and the Company shall not convert into or merge into (with the Company not being the surviving entity in such merger) an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal or applicable state and local income tax purposes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.8, this Section 2.8 shall not prevent the Company from entering into or consummating any transaction which constitutes a Change of Control to the extent such transaction is duly authorized by the Managing Member in accordance with this LLC Agreement, subject to the rights set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, if any, applicable to such transaction.

(iii) In the event any outstanding Equity Security of PubCo is exercised or otherwise converted and, as a result, any shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of PubCo are issued (including as a result of the exercise of PTIC II Warrants), (x) the corresponding Equity Security outstanding at the Company and held by PubCo, if any, shall be similarly exercised or otherwise converted, if applicable, (y) an equivalent number of Class A Units or equivalent Equity Securities of the Company shall be issued to PubCo as required by the first sentence of Section 4.1(d)(i), and (z) PubCo shall concurrently contribute to the Company the net proceeds received by PubCo from any such exercise or conversion, subject to the second proviso in Section 7.7.

(f) New Company Issuances. Except pursuant to Section 4.6, (x) the Company may not issue any additional Units to PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) unless (i) substantially simultaneously therewith PubCo or such Subsidiary issues or transfers an equal number of newly-issued shares of Class A Common Stock (or relevant Equity Security of such Subsidiary) to another Person or Persons, and (ii) such issuance is in accordance with Section 4.1(d), and (y) the Company may not issue any other Equity Securities of the Company to PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company’s Subsidiaries) unless (i) substantially simultaneously therewith PubCo or such Subsidiary issues or transfers, to another Person, an equal number of newly-issued shares of Equity Securities of PubCo or such Subsidiary with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of the Company, and (ii) such issuance is in accordance with Section 4.1(d).

17

(i) PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) may redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (A) shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to a Board approved repurchase plan or program (or otherwise in connection with a transaction approved by the Board) and, substantially simultaneously therewith, the Company shall redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire from PubCo or such Subsidiary an equal number of Class A Units for the same price per security, if any, or (B) any other Equity Securities of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) pursuant to a Board approved repurchase plan or program (or otherwise in connection with a transaction approved by the Board) and, substantially simultaneously therewith, the Company shall redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire from PubCo or such Subsidiary an equal number of the corresponding class or series of Equity Securities of the Company with the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of PubCo or such Subsidiary for the same price per security, if any.

(ii) The Company may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (x) any Class A Units from PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company’s Subsidiaries) unless substantially simultaneously PubCo or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires pursuant to a Board approved repurchase plan or program (or otherwise in connection with a transaction approved by the Board) an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock for the same price per security from holders thereof or (y) any other Equity Securities of the Company from PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company’s Subsidiaries) unless substantially simultaneously PubCo or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires pursuant to a Board approved repurchase plan or program (or otherwise in connection with a transaction approved by the Board) for the same price per security an equal number of Equity Securities of PubCo (or such Subsidiary) of a corresponding class or series with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of PubCo or such Subsidiary.

(h) PubCo Sale Transactions.

(i) In connection with a Change of Control Transaction (including in respect of PubCo), each Member shall, and the Managing Member shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require, each Member to effect a sale, redemption, tender, transfer or other disposal (together, “Sale”) of some or all of the issued and outstanding Common Units held by each Member (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Unissued Earn Out Units, which Unissued Earn Out Units shall be issued by virtue of the applicable Triggering Event(s)) from the holders of Class B Units (on a pro-rata basis), pursuant to which such Common Units will be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock (or economically equivalent cash or securities of a successor entity), mutatis mutandis, in accordance with the redemption provisions of this Agreement. Any such Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1(h)(i) shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be contingent upon the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction and shall not be effective if such Change of Control Transaction is not consummated) (the date of such Sale pursuant to this Section 4.1(h)(i), the “Change of Control Date”). From and after the Change of Control Date, (i) the Common Units subject to such Sale shall be deemed to be transferred to the Managing Member on the Change of Control Date and (ii) each such Member shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Common Units subject to such Sale (other than the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or economically equivalent cash or equity securities in a successor entity) pursuant to such Sale). In the event of an expected Change of Control Transaction, the Managing Member shall provide written notice of an expected Change of Control Transaction to all Members within the earlier of (x) five (5) Business Days following the execution of a definitive agreement providing for such Change of Control Transaction and (y) ten (10) Business Days before the proposed date upon which the contemplated Change of Control Transaction is to be effected, including in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the Change of Control Transaction, subject to applicable law or regulation, including the date of execution of such agreement or such proposed effective date, as applicable, the amount and types of consideration to be paid for shares of Class A Common Stock in the Change of Control Transaction and any election with respect to types of consideration that a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in connection with a Change of Control Transaction (which election shall be available to each Member on the same terms as holders of shares of Class A Common Stock). Following delivery of such notice and on or prior to the Change of Control Date, the Members shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Managing Member to effect such Sale, including taking any action and delivering any document required pursuant to this Section 4.1(h)(i) to effect such Sale, including executing any agreements, certificates, instruments or other documents as the PubCo shall require in connection with such Change of Control Transaction including, without limitation, any agreement to indemnify and/or pay any party, provided, however, that such indemnity and payment obligation is capped at the proceeds received by such Member holding Common Units.

18

(ii) In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization, or similar transaction with respect to Class A Common Stock (a “Pubco Offer”) is proposed by the Managing Member or is proposed to the Managing Member or its stockholders and approved by the Board or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the Board, the Managing Member shall provide written notice of the Pubco Offer to all Members within the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days following the execution of an agreement (if applicable) with respect to, or the commencement of (if applicable), such Pubco Offer and (ii) ten (10) Business Days before the proposed date upon which the Pubco Offer is to be effected, including in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the Pubco Offer, subject to applicable law or regulation, including the date of execution of such agreement (if applicable) or of such commencement (if applicable), the material terms of such Pubco Offer, including the amount and types of consideration to be received by holders of shares of Class A Common Stock in the Pubco Offer, any election with respect to types of consideration that a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to make in connection with such Pubco Offer, and the number of Common Units held by such Member that is applicable to such Pubco Offer. The Members shall be permitted to participate in such Pubco Offer by delivering a written notice of participation that is effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Pubco Offer (and that is contingent upon consummation of such offer), and shall include such information necessary for consummation of such offer as requested by the Managing Member. In the case of any Pubco Offer that was initially proposed by the Managing Member, the Managing Member shall use reasonable best efforts to enable and permit the Members to participate in such transaction to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, and to enable such Members to participate in such transaction without being required to exchange Common Units prior to the consummation of such transaction.

(iii) In the event that a transaction or proposed transaction constitutes both a Change of Control Transaction and a Pubco Offer, the provisions of Section 4.1(h)(i) shall take precedence over the provisions of (g)(ii) with respect to such transaction, and the provisions of Section 4.1(h)(ii) shall be subordinate to provisions of (g)(i), and may only be triggered if the Managing Member elects to waive the provisions of (g)(i).

(i) Equity Subdivisions and Combinations.

(i) The Company shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding Units unless concurrently accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding PubCo Common Stock or other related class or series of Equity Security of PubCo, with corresponding changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible Equity Securities of the Company and Equity Securities of PubCo.

(ii) Except in accordance with Section 4.6(c), PubCo shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding PubCo Common Stock or any other class or series of Equity Security of PubCo, unless concurrently accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of the outstanding Units or other related class or series of Equity Security of the Company, with corresponding changes made with respect to any applicable exchangeable or convertible Equity Securities of the Company and Equity Securities of PubCo.

19

(j) General Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to Sections 4.1(a), (d), (g), (h) and Section 4.3, the Company and PubCo (including in its capacity as the Managing Member of the Company) shall be permitted to undertake all actions, including an issuance, redemption, reclassification, distribution, division or recapitalization, with respect to the Class A Units or the Class B Units to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between (i) the number of Class A Units owned by PubCo, directly or indirectly, and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock held by any Person (other than PubCo) and the number of Class B Units held by such Person disregarding, for purposes of maintaining the one-to-one ratios in clause (i) (A) options, rights or securities of PubCo issued under any plan involving the issuance of any Equity Securities of PubCo that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock, (B) treasury stock, or (C) preferred stock or other debt or equity securities (including warrants, options or rights) issued by PubCo that are convertible or into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock (but in each case prior to such conversion or exchange).

4.2 Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this LLC Agreement, no Member shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company.

4.3 Issuance of Additional Units; Redemption of Certain Class B Units.

(a) Issuance of Additional Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this LLC Agreement (including Section 4.1 and this Section 4.3), the Managing Member shall have the right to authorize and cause the Company to issue on such terms (including price) as may be determined by the Managing Member (a) additional Common Units or Equity Securities in the Company having such rights, preferences and privileges as determined by the Managing Member, which rights, preferences and privileges may be senior to the Common Units, and (b) obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or interests convertible or exchangeable for Units or other Equity Securities in the Company; provided that at any time following the date hereof, in each case the Company shall not issue Equity Securities in the Company to any Person other than PubCo or then-existing Members unless such Person shall have executed a counterpart to this LLC Agreement and all other documents, agreements or instruments deemed necessary or desirable in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member. Upon any such issuance and execution, (a) such Person shall be admitted as a Member of the Company, and (b) the Managing Member shall update the Company’s books and records and amend Exhibit A-1 to reflect such issuance. Subject to Section 4.1, this Section 4.3 and Section 12.1, the Managing Member is hereby authorized to amend this LLC Agreement to set forth the designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such additional Common Units or other Equity Securities in the Company authorized or issued pursuant to this Section 4.3.

(b) Issuance of Earn Out Units. Earn Out Units to be issued in connection with any Triggering Event shall be issued in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Business Combination Agreement and will be issued to each Member holding Class B Units in accordance with the Allocation Schedule.

(c) Redemption of Certain Class B Units. Within 180 days after the Closing Date, the Company shall redeem Class B Units issued in connection with a Continuing Member’s contribution of Company Class A-1 Units or Company Class A Units (in each case, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to the Company if there are any Net Redemption Proceeds available to the Company or PubCo after the Closing Date, provided that any such redemption will be completed in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the Allocation Schedule and the applicable Company Unitholder Written Consent. For purposes of this Section 4.3(c) only, the term “Net Redemption Proceeds” shall mean all net cash proceeds received by the Company or PubCo (or any successors of either) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, after the payment of any indebtedness or transaction expenses required to be paid under the Business Combination Agreement, consisting of availability under any facility or committed financing available to the Company or PubCo expressly for redemptions of equity as a contemplated use of proceeds or any amounts received in any “PIPE” financing or other similar financing, but expressly excluding any lines of credit or credit facilities to be used solely for general working capital or general operating purposes.

20

4.4 Capital Accounts. A Capital Account shall be maintained by the Managing Member for each Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and, to the extent consistent with such regulations, the other provisions of this LLC Agreement. Each Member’s Capital Account balance as of the Effective Time shall be equal to the amount of its respective Closing Date Capital Account Balance set forth opposite such Member’s name on Exhibit A-1. Thereafter, each Member’s Capital Account shall be (a) increased by (i) allocations to such Member of Profits pursuant to Section 5.1 and any other items of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.2, (ii) the amount of cash or the initial Gross Asset Value of any asset (net of any Liabilities assumed by the Company and any Liabilities to which the asset is subject) contributed to the Company by such Member, and (iii) any other increases required or, at the Managing Member’s discretion, allowed by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and (b) decreased by (i) allocations to such Member of Losses pursuant to Section 5.1 and any other items of deduction or loss allocated to such Member pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2, (ii) the amount of any cash or the Gross Asset Value of any asset (net of any Liabilities assumed by the Member and any Liabilities to which the asset is subject) distributed to such Member, and (iii) any other decreases required or, at the Managing Member’s discretion, allowed by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). In the event of a Transfer of Units made in accordance with this LLC Agreement (including a deemed Transfer for U.S. federal income tax purposes as described in Section 4.6(i)), the Capital Account of the Transferor that is attributable to the Transferred Units shall carry over to the Transferee Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(l). This Section 4.4 and other provisions of this LLC Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b), including Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. In determining the amount of any Liability for purposes of calculating Capital Accounts, there shall be taken into account Section 752(c) of the Code and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations. The Members’ Capital Accounts will normally be adjusted on an annual or other periodic basis as determined by the Managing Member, but the Capital Accounts may be adjusted more often if a new Member is admitted to the Company or if circumstances otherwise make it advisable in the judgment of the Managing Member.

4.5 Other Matters Regarding Capital Contributions.

(a) The Company shall not be obligated to repay any Capital Contributions of any Member. Under circumstances requiring a return of any Capital Contributions, no Member has the right to receive property other than cash.

(b) No Member shall receive any interest, salary, compensation or reimbursement with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account, or for services rendered or expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or otherwise in its capacity as a Member, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.7 or other provisions of this LLC Agreement.

(c) A Member shall not be required to restore a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account, to lend any funds to the Company or to make any additional contributions or payments to the Company.

21

4.6 Exchange of Class B Units.

(a) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 4.6, after the expiration of the applicable Lock-Up Period, an Exchanging Member (together with its Affiliates, including other Continuing Members, and Permitted Transferees) shall be entitled to cause the Company to effect an Exchange up to two (2) times per calendar quarter collectively (and no more frequently) plus, if necessary, any additional number of times as may be necessary to allow such Exchanging Member to participate in a transaction described in the penultimate sentence of this Section 4.6(a)(i) or in Section 4.6(h), in each case with respect to a number of Class B Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Earn Out Units which are treated as Class B Units) at least equal to or exceeding the Minimum Exchange Amount, by delivering an Exchange Notice to the Company, with a copy to PubCo. Each Exchange Notice shall be in the form set forth on Exhibit B and shall include all information required to be included therein. An Exchange Notice may specify that the Exchange is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender offer or exchange offer, an underwritten offering or otherwise) of the shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Class B Units are exchangeable, or contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or other transaction or event in which shares of Class A Common Stock would be exchanged or converted or become exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other securities or property. In the event that an Exchange is being exercised in order to participate in a Piggyback Registration, the Exchange Notice Date shall be prior to the expiration of the time period in which a holder of securities is required to notify PubCo that it wishes to participate in such Piggyback Registration in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Investor Rights Agreement.

(ii) Within five (5) Business Days of the giving of an Exchange Notice, the Managing Member on behalf of the Company acting through the Redemption Election Committee may, but shall not be required to, elect to settle all or a portion of the Exchange in cash in an amount equal to the Cash Exchange Payment (in lieu of shares of Class A Common Stock) (the “Cash Settlement”), exercisable by giving written notice of such election to the Exchanging Member within such five (5) Business Day period (such notice, the “Cash Exchange Notice”). The Cash Exchange Notice shall set forth the portion of the Class B Units subject to the Exchange which shall be exchanged for cash in lieu of Class A Common Stock. To the extent such Exchange relates to the exercise of the Exchanging Member’s registration rights under the Investor Rights Agreement, PubCo and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with such Exchanging Member to exercise such Exchange in a manner which preserves such Exchanging Member’s rights thereunder. At any time following the giving of a Cash Exchange Notice and prior to the Exchange Date, the Managing Member may elect (exercisable by giving written notice of such election to the Exchanging Member) to revoke the Cash Exchange Notice with respect to all or any portion of the Exchanged Units and make the Stock Exchange Payment with respect to any such Exchanged Units on the Exchange Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Managing Member (acting through the Redemption Election Committee) may only elect a Cash Settlement if such Cash Settlement is limited to the net proceeds from any issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock issued for the purpose of satisfying such Cash Settlement plus the amount of any Tax Distributions received by PubCo to the extent such amount (if any) is in excess of the amount required for PubCo to timely pay its actual U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax liabilities related to tax items of the Company and its Subsidiaries and timely meet its obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

(iii) The Exchanging Member may elect to retract its Exchange Notice by giving written notice of such election to the Exchanging Member no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Exchange Date. The giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall terminate all of the Exchanging Member’s and the Company’s rights and obligations under this Section 4.6 arising from such retracted Exchange Notice (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, from any Exchange Notice not retracted or that may be delivered in the future).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this LLC Agreement, if, in connection with an Exchange in accordance with this Section 4.6, a filing is required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (“HSR Act”), then the Exchange Date with respect to all Exchanged Units which would be exchanged into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock resulting from such Exchange shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) such time as the required filing under the HSR Act has been made and the waiting period applicable to such Exchange under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated or (ii) such filing is no longer required, at which time such Exchange shall automatically occur without any further action by the holders of any such Exchanged Units. Each of the Members and PubCo agree to promptly take all actions required to make such filing under the HSR Act and the filing fee for such filing shall be paid by the Company.

22

(v) Unissued Earn Out Units (until such time as the applicable Triggering Event occurs) are not permitted to be treated as Exchanged Units under this LLC Agreement, and in no event shall the Company or PubCo effect an Exchange of an Unissued Earn Out Unit unless and until a Triggering Event has occurred with respect to such Unissued Earn Out Unit such that an Earn Out Unit issued in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (other than in connection with a Change of Control Transaction).

(b) Exchange Payment. The Exchange shall be consummated on the Exchange Date. Unless PubCo (through the Redemption Election Committee) has exercised its PubCo Call Right pursuant to Section 4.6(f), on the Exchange Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Exchange Date) (i) PubCo shall contribute to the Company for delivery to the Exchanging Member (x) the Stock Exchange Payment with respect to any Exchanged Units not subject to a Cash Exchange Notice and (y) the Cash Exchange Payment (subject to the Redemption Election Committee’s election) with respect to any Exchanged Units subject to a Cash Exchange Notice, (ii) the Exchanging Member shall transfer and surrender the Exchanged Units to the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (iii) the Company shall issue to PubCo a number of Class A Units equal to the number of Exchanged Units surrendered pursuant to clause (ii), (iv) solely to the extent necessary in connection with an Exchange, PubCo shall undertake all actions, including an issuance, reclassification, distribution, division or recapitalization, with respect to the Class A Common Stock to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class A Units owned by PubCo, directly or indirectly, and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, taking into account the issuance in clause (iii), any Stock Exchange Payment, and any other action taken in connection with this Section 4.6, (v) the Company shall (x) cancel the redeemed Class B Units which were Exchanged Units held by the Exchanging Member and (y) transfer to the Exchanging Member the Cash Exchange Payment and/or the Stock Exchange Payment, as applicable, and (vi) PubCo shall cancel the surrendered shares of Class B Common Stock. On or prior to the Exchange Date, and as a condition to the Exchange, the Exchanging Member shall make any applicable Certificate Delivery. Upon the Exchange of all of a Member’s Units, such Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company.

(c) Splits, Distributions and Reclassifications. If there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the shares of Class A Common Stock are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, this Section 4.6 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property. This Section 4.6(c) is intended to preserve the intended economic effect of Section 4.1 and this Section 4.6 and to put each Member in the same relative economic position, to the greatest extent possible, with respect to Exchanges as if such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction had not occurred and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent, including requiring a similar reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction to preserve the relative economic position of each Member with respect to the allocation of, and between, Class B Units and Class A Units.

(d) PubCo Covenants. PubCo shall at all times keep available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the Exchange of all outstanding Class B Units (including Earn Out Units, and other than those Class A Units held by PubCo or any Subsidiary of PubCo); provided that nothing contained in this LLC Agreement shall be construed to preclude PubCo from satisfying its obligations with respect to an Exchange by delivery of a Cash Exchange Payment or shares of Class A Common Stock that are held in treasury of PubCo. PubCo covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be issued upon an Exchange shall, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be limited by Sections 18-607 and 18-804 of the Act), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than any transfer restrictions under applicable Securities Law). In addition, for so long as the shares of Class A Common Stock are listed on a stock exchange or automated or electronic quotation system, PubCo shall cause all shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange to be listed on such stock exchange or automated or electronic quotation system at the time of such issuance. For purposes of this Section 4.6(d), references to the “Class A Common Stock” shall be deemed to include any Equity Securities issued or issuable as a result of any reclassification, combination, subdivision or similar transaction of the Class A Common Stock that any Member would be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.6(c).

23

(e) Exchange Taxes. The issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon an Exchange shall be made without charge to the Exchanging Member for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided, however, that if any such shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that of the Exchanging Member (subject to the restrictions in Article IX), then the Person or Persons in whose name(s) the shares are to be issued shall pay to PubCo the amount of any additional tax that may be payable in respect of any Transfer involved in such issuance in excess of the amount otherwise due if such shares were issued in the name of the Exchanging Member or shall establish to the satisfaction of PubCo that such additional tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) PubCo Call Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.6, with respect to any Exchange Notice, an Exchanging Member shall be deemed to have offered to sell its Exchanged Units as described in any Exchange Notice directly to PubCo (rather than to the Company), and PubCo may (through the Redemption Election Committee), by delivery of a written notice to the Exchanging Member no later than five (5) Business Days following the giving of an Exchange Notice, in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 4.6(f) (such notice, a “PubCo Call Notice”), elect to purchase directly and acquire such Exchanged Units on the Exchange Date by paying to the Exchanging Member (or such other Person specified in the Exchange Notice) the Stock Exchange Payment and/or the Cash Exchange Payment (if permitted pursuant to Section 4.6(a)(i) and Section 4.6(a)(ii)), whereupon PubCo shall acquire the Exchanged Units on the Exchange Date and be treated for all purposes of this LLC Agreement as the owner of such Class B Units, which shall either (A) automatically convert into Class A Units upon being acquired by PubCo or (B) be redeemed in connection with a corresponding issuance of Class A Units to PubCo by the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.6(f), an exercise of the PubCo Call Right shall be consummated pursuant to substantially the same timeframe and in substantially the same manner as the relevant Exchange would have been consummated if PubCo had not given a PubCo Call Notice, in each case as relevant, including that Section 4.6(a)(ii) and Section 4.6(a)(iii) shall apply mutatis mutandis and that clauses (iv) and (vi) of Section 4.6(b) shall apply (notwithstanding that the other clauses thereof do not apply).

(g) Distribution Rights. No Exchange shall impair the right of the Exchanging Member to receive any distributions payable on the Common Units redeemed pursuant to such Exchange in respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange. No Exchanging Member, or a Person designated by an Exchanging Member to receive shares of Class A Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive, with respect to such record date, distributions or dividends both on Class B Units redeemed by the Company from such Exchanging Member and on shares of Class A Common Stock received by such Exchanging Member, or other Person so designated, if applicable, in such Exchange.

(h) Exchange Restrictions. The Managing Member may impose additional limitations and restrictions on Exchanges or exercise of the PubCo Call Right (including limiting Exchanges or creating priority procedures for Exchanges) to the extent it reasonably determines in good faith that such limitations and restrictions are necessary to avoid the Company being classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or ensure equity treatment of the Common Units; provided that, for such purposes, the Company and the Managing Member shall assume that each Continuing Member is treated as a single partner within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h) (determined taking into account the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)), unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

24

(i) Tax Matters. In connection with any Exchange, the Exchanging Member shall deliver to PubCo or the Company, as applicable, a certificate, dated as of the Exchange Date and sworn under penalties of perjury, in a form reasonably acceptable to PubCo or the Company, as applicable, certifying as to such Exchanging Member’s taxpayer identification number and, if applicable, that such Exchanging Member is a not a foreign person for purposes of Section 1445 and Section 1446(f) of the Code (which certificate may be an IRS Form W-9 if then sufficient for such purposes under applicable Law). For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, each of the Exchanging Member, the Company and PubCo agree to treat each Exchange as a sale by the Exchanging Member of the Exchanging Member’s Class B Units (together with an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock, which shares shall not be allocated any economic value) to PubCo in exchange for the payment by PubCo of the Stock Exchange Payment, the Cash Exchange Payment, or other applicable consideration to the Exchanging Member.

(j) Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise required by applicable law including a determination of an applicable taxing authority that is final, the parties hereto agree to treat any Exchange or any exercise of the PubCo Call Right as a direct sale or exchange between PubCo and the Exchanging Member for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes and each of the Company, PubCo, and the applicable Exchanging Members and their respective Affiliates shall report any such Exchange or exercise of the PubCo Call Right consistent therewith for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local and non-U.S. income tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable law including a determination of an applicable taxing authority that is final.

(k) Representations and Warranties. In connection with any Exchange or exercise of a PubCo Call Right, (i) upon the acceptance of the Class A Common Stock or an amount of cash equal to the Cash Exchange Payment, the Exchanging Member shall represent and warrant that the Exchanging Member is the owner of the number of Class B Units that the Exchanging Member is electing to Exchange and that such Class B Units are not subject to any liens or restrictions on transfer (other than restrictions imposed by this LLC Agreement, the charter and governing documents of PubCo and applicable Law), and (ii) if the Managing Member elects a Stock Exchange Payment, the Managing Member shall represent that (A) the shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Exchanging Member in settlement of the Stock Exchange Payment are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be limited by Sections 18-607 and 18-804 of the Act) and were issued in compliance in all material respects with applicable Securities Law, and (B) the issuance of such shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Exchanging Member in settlement of the Stock Exchange Payment does not conflict with or result in any breach of the organizational documents of PubCo.

4.7 Representations and Warranties of the Members. Each Member who acquires Units after the Effective Time severally (and not jointly) represents and warrants to the Company and each other Member as of the date of such Member’s admittance to the Company and as of each subsequent date that such Member acquires any additional Units (other than, in the case of acquisition of additional Units, Section 4.7(b) to the extent any conflict under Section 4.7(b) is related to the occurrence of a Change of Control resulting from such acquisition) that:

ARTICLE V
ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

5.1 Profits and Losses. After giving effect to the allocations under Section 5.2 and subject to Section 5.2 and Section 5.4, Profits and Losses (and, to the extent reasonably determined by the Managing Member to be necessary and appropriate to achieve the resulting Capital Account balances described below, any allocable items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit includable in the computation of Profits and Losses) for each Taxable Year or other taxable period shall be allocated among the Members during such Taxable Year or other taxable period in a manner such that, after giving effect to all distributions through the end of such Taxable Year or other taxable period, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (a) the amount such Member would receive pursuant to Section 11.3(b)(iii) if all assets of the Company on hand at the end of such Taxable Year or other taxable period were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Values, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied in cash in accordance with their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and all remaining or resulting cash was distributed, in accordance with Section 11.3(b)(iii), to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (b) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets, and (without duplication) the amount any such Member is treated as obligated to contribute to the Company, computed immediately after the hypothetical sale of assets.

5.2 Special Allocations.

(a) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year or other taxable period shall be specially allocated to the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Common Units owned by each Member. The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Taxable Year or other taxable period shall equal the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Company Minimum Gain during that Taxable Year or other taxable period over the aggregate amount of any distributions during that Taxable Year or other taxable period of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d).

(b) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year or other taxable period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears 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). If more than one (1) Member bears the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the economic risk of loss. This Section 5.2(b) is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

27

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this LLC Agreement to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year or other taxable period (or if there was a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain for a prior Taxable Year or other taxable period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.2(c)), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Taxable Year or other taxable period in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such taxable period (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2)). This Section 5.2(c) is intended to constitute a minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this LLC Agreement except Section 5.2(c), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year or other taxable period (or if there was a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain for a prior Taxable Year or other taxable period and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior periods to allocate among the Members under this Section 5.2(d)), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable period in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). This Section 5.2(d) is intended to constitute a partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(b), no Losses or other items of loss or expense shall be allocated to any Member to the extent that such allocation would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) at the end of such Taxable Year or other taxable period. All Losses and other items of loss and expense in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.2(e) shall be allocated to the Members who do not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in proportion to their relative positive Capital Accounts but only to the extent that such Losses and other items of loss and expense do not cause any such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary except Section 5.2(c) and Section 5.2(d), in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in paragraph (4), (5) or (6) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2) (ii)(d), items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain for the Taxable Year or other taxable period) shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of that Member as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(f) were not in this LLC Agreement. This Section 5.2(f) is intended to constitute a qualified income offset under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(g) If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Taxable Year or other taxable period that is in excess of the amount that the Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and (i)(5), that Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(g) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 have been made as if Section 5.2(f) and this Section 5.2(g) were not in this LLC Agreement.

(h) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution to any Member in complete or partial liquidation of such Member’s Units in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such item of gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) (2)(iv)(m)(2) if such Section applies or to the Member to whom such distribution was made if Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

28

(i) The allocations set forth in Sections 5.2(a) through (h) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations (and anticipated future Regulatory Allocations) shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocation of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member should be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. In general, the Members anticipate that this shall be accomplished by specially allocating other Profits and Loss among the Members so that the net amount of Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. This Section 5.2(i) is intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions that may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

5.3 Allocations for Tax Purposes in General.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.3, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such item is allocated under Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (including the Treasury Regulations applying the principles of Code Section 704(c) to changes in Gross Asset Values), items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Company property having a Gross Asset Value that differs from such property’s adjusted U.S. federal income tax basis shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members to account for any such difference using any permissible method or methods determined by the Managing Member to be appropriate and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations.

(c) Any (i) recapture of depreciation or any other item of deduction shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1254-5, to the Members who received the benefit of such deductions and (ii) tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as reasonably determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii), 1.704-1(b)(3)(iv), and 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii).

(d) Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this LLC Agreement.

(e) If, as a result of an exercise of a non-compensatory option to acquire an interest in the Company, a Capital Account reallocation is required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Company shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x). If, pursuant to Section 5.2(i), the Managing Member causes a Capital Account reallocation in accordance with principles similar to those set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Managing Member shall make corrective allocations in accordance with principles similar to those set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

(f) Any adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of Company property pursuant to Code Section 743(b) resulting from a transfer of Units shall be handled in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.743-1(j).

29

5.4 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article V and the economic impact of the allocations on the amounts receivable by them under this LLC Agreement. The Members hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article V in reporting their share of Company income and loss for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

(b) The provisions regarding the establishment and maintenance for each Member of a Capital Account as provided by Section 4.4 and the allocations set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 are intended to comply with the Treasury Regulations and to reflect the intended economic entitlement of the Members. If the Managing Member reasonably determines that the application of the provisions in Sections 4.4, 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 would result in non-compliance with the Treasury Regulations or would be inconsistent with the intended economic entitlement of the Members, the Managing Member is authorized to make any appropriate adjustments to such provisions to the extent permitted by applicable Law, including to allocate properly items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to those Members who bear the economic burden or benefit associated therewith, or to otherwise cause the Members to achieve the economic objectives underlying this LLC Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement. The Managing Member also shall (i) make any adjustments that it reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of Company capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(iv)(g) and (ii) make any reasonable and appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events would reasonably be expected to otherwise cause this LLC Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the allocations shall be made under this Section 5.4(b) without the prior written consent of each Continuing Member that would be materially adversely affected thereby, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Subject to the Business Combination Agreement, with regard to PubCo’s acquisition of Common Units, Profits or Losses shall be allocated to the Members of the Company so as to take into account the varying interests of the Members in the Company using an “interim closing of the books” method in a manner that complies with the provisions of Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Subject to the Business Combination Agreement, if during any Taxable Year there is any other change in any Member’s Units in the Company, the Managing Member shall consult in good faith with the Continuing Member Representative and the tax advisors to the Company and allocate the Profits or Losses to the Members of the Company so as to take into account the varying interests of the Members in the Company using an “interim closing of the books” method in a manner that complies with the provisions of Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; provided, however, that such allocations may instead be made in another manner that complies with the provisions of Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and that is selected by the Managing Member (with the prior written consent of the Continuing Member Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Managing Member shall allocate such liabilities in such manner that complies with the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and that the Managing Member reasonably determines, in a manner intended to minimize any gain of the Members to the greatest extent possible under Section 731 of the Code.

5.5 Earn Out Units. The Parties intend that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, (a) the Earn Out Units, if any, received by the Continuing Members in connection with the Business Combination Agreement not be treated as being received in connection with the performance of services, (b) the Earn Out Units, if any, received by the Continuing Members in connection with the Business Combination Agreement reflect an adjustment by the Members to the agreed-upon sharing of unrealized appreciation in the Company’s assets, (c) no such Member be treated as having taxable income or gain as a result of such receipt of any such Earn Out Units or as a result of holding any such Earn Out Units at the time of any Triggering Event (other than as a result of corrective allocations made pursuant to Section 5.2(i)), and (d) for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the allocations described in this Article V and the determination and maintenance of Capital Accounts and distributions described in Article VI, each Earn Out Unit is a Class B Unit. The Company shall prepare and file all tax returns consistent with such intended treatment unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

30

ARTICLE VI
DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1 Distributions.

(a) General.

(i) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, distributions to Members may be declared by the Managing Member out of Distributable Cash in such amounts, at such time and on such terms (including the payment dates of such distributions) as the Managing Member shall determine using such record date as the Managing Member may designate. All distributions made under this Section 6.1(a) shall be made to the Members as of the close of business on such record date on a pro rata basis (except that, for the avoidance of doubt, repurchases or redemptions made in accordance with Section 4.1(g) or payments made in accordance with Section 7.4 or Section 7.7 need not be on a pro rata basis, as long as such payments are otherwise made in accordance with the terms of this LLC Agreement) based on the number of Common Units held by each such Member as of the close of business on such record date; provided, that the Managing Member shall have the obligation to make distributions as set forth in Section 6.2 and Section 11.3(b)(iii); provided, further, that notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no distributions shall be made to any Member to the extent such distribution would violate the Act.

(ii) Promptly following the designation of a record date and the declaration of a distribution pursuant to this Section 6.1(a), the Managing Member shall give notice to each Member of the record date, the amount and the terms of the distribution and the payment date thereof.

(b) Successors. For purposes of determining the amount of distributions (including Tax Distributions), each Member shall be treated as having made the Capital Contributions made by, been allocated the net taxable income of the Company (in accordance with the definition of Tax Amount) allocated to, and received the distributions made to or received by its predecessors in respect of any of such Member’s Units.

(c) Distributions In-Kind. Except as otherwise provided in this LLC Agreement, any distributions may be made in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly in kind, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member. In the event of any distribution of (i) property in kind or (ii) both cash and property in kind, each Member shall be distributed its proportionate share of any such cash so distributed and its proportionate share of any such property so distributed in kind (based on the Fair Market Value of such property). To the extent that the Company distributes property in-kind to the Members, the Company shall be treated as making a distribution equal to the Fair Market Value of such property for purposes of Section 6.1(a) and such property shall be treated as if it were sold for an amount equal to its Fair Market Value; provided that none of the following shall be a distribution for purposes of this LLC Agreement: (a) any recapitalization that does not result in the distribution of cash or property to Members or any exchange of securities of the Company, and any subdivision (by Unit split or otherwise) or any combination (by reverse Unit split or otherwise) of any outstanding Units or (b) any other payment made by the Company to a Member that is not properly treated as a “distribution” for purposes of Sections 731, 732, or 733 or other applicable provisions of the Code. Any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Member’s Capital Accounts in accordance with Section 5.1 and Section 5.2.

6.2 Tax-Related Distributions.

(a) Effective upon the Effective Time, prior to making any other distributions under this LLC Agreement, on each Tax Distribution Date, unless prohibited by applicable Law, the Managing Member shall cause the Company, from available cash, available borrowings and other funds legally available therefor, including legally made distributions from available cash of the Company’s Subsidiaries (taking into account any restrictions applicable to tax distributions contained in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ then applicable bank financing agreements by which the Company or its Subsidiaries are bound) (collectively, “Cash Available For Tax Distributions”) to make distributions of cash (each, a “Tax Distribution”) to the Members holding Common Units, pro rata in proportion to their respective number of Common Units in an amount such that the Member with the highest Tax Amount per Common Unit receives an amount equal to such Member’s Tax Amount (for purposes of this pro rata clause, disregarding any amount that is included in PubCo’s Tax Amount pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of “Tax Amount”); provided, that if the amount of Tax Distributions actually made with respect to a quarter or a Taxable Year is greater than or less than the Tax Distributions that would have been made under this Section 6.2 for such period based on subsequent tax information (e.g., if upon filing the Company’s final tax return for the applicable taxable year taxable income or gain of the Company is higher or lower than estimated) and assuming no limitations based on prohibitions under applicable Law, Cash Available For Tax Distributions (such limitations, the “Liquidity Limitations”) (e.g., because the estimated Tax Distributions for a Taxable Year were greater than or less than the amount calculated based on actual taxable income for such Taxable Year), then, on subsequent Tax Distribution Dates, starting with the next Tax Distribution Date, and prior to any additional distributions pursuant to Section 6.1(a) (including under Section 11.3(b)(iii) and its reference to Section 6.1(a)), the Managing Member shall, subject to the Liquidity Limitations, cause the Company to adjust the next Tax Distribution and subsequent Tax Distributions downward (but not below zero) or upward (but in any event pro rata in proportion to the Members’ respective number of Common Units) to reflect such excess or shortfall; and provided, further, that notwithstanding any other provision in this LLC Agreement to the contrary, the Managing Member shall not be required to cause the Company to make any Tax Distributions on any date other than a Tax Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this LLC Agreement, (a) the Managing Member shall make, in its reasonable discretion, equitable adjustments (downward (but not below zero) or upward) to the Members’ Tax Distributions (but in any event pro rata in proportion to the Members’ respective number of Common Units) to take into account increases or decreases in the number of Common Units held by each Member during the relevant period; provided that no such adjustments shall be made that would have a material adverse effect on the Continuing Members without the Continuing Member Representative’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and (b) no Tax Distributions (or downward (but not below zero) or upward adjustment to any Tax Distributions) shall be made other than on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Members’ respective number of Common Units. All Tax Distributions shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as advances against, and shall offset and reduce dollar-for-dollar, subsequent distributions under Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, final Tax Distributions in respect of the applicable quarterly period (or portion thereof) shall be made immediately prior to and in connection with any distributions made pursuant to Section 11.3(b)(iii) below.

6.3 Distribution Upon Withdrawal. No withdrawing Member shall be entitled to receive any distribution or the value of such Member’s Units in the Company as a result of withdrawal from the Company prior to the liquidation of the Company, except as provided in this LLC Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
MANAGEMENT

7.1 Managing Member Rights; Member and Officer Duties.

(a) PubCo shall be the sole Managing Member of the Company and, pursuant to the governing documents of PubCo, the business and affairs of PubCo shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Except as otherwise required by Law or provided in this LLC Agreement, (i) the Managing Member shall have full and complete charge of all affairs of the Company, (ii) the management and control of the Company’s business activities and operations shall rest exclusively with the Managing Member, and (iii) the Members, other than the Managing Member (in its capacity as such), shall not participate in the control, management, direction or operation of the activities or affairs of the Company and shall have no power to act for or bind the Company. Nothing set forth in this LLC Agreement shall reduce or restrict the rights set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

32

(b) Except as otherwise required by the Act, no current or former Member (including a current or former Managing Member) or any current or former Officer shall be obligated personally for any Liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or, with respect to the Managing Member, acting as Managing Member of the Company, or, with respect to an Officer, acting in his or her capacity as an Officer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this LLC Agreement, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this LLC Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Managing Member for liabilities of the Company.

(c) To the extent that, at Law or in equity, the Company or any Subsidiary or any manager, director (or equivalent), officer, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary (including PubCo) has duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, to a Member (other than the Managing Member) or to any Person who acquires Units, all such duties (including fiduciary duties) are hereby limited solely to those expressly set forth in this LLC Agreement (if any), to the fullest extent permitted by Law (it being understood that this (c) shall not itself limit or waive any of the duties of any officers or members of the Board to the stockholders of PubCo in their capacity as such, which obligations will be governed by the applicable governing documents of PubCo). The limitation of duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, each Member (other than to the Managing Member) and any Person who acquires Units set forth in the preceding sentence is approved by the Company, each Member and any Person who acquires Units.

7.2 Role of Officers.

(a) The Managing Member may appoint, employ or otherwise contract with any Person for the transaction of the business of the Company or the performance of services for or on behalf of the Company, and the Managing Member may delegate to any such Persons such authority to act on behalf of the Company as the Managing Member may from time to time deem appropriate.

(b) The Officers of the Company as of the Effective Time are set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.

(c) The Managing Member may appoint a Chief Executive Officer who will be responsible for the general and active management of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Chief Executive Officer will report to the Managing Member and have the general powers and duties of management usually vested in the office of chief executive officer of a corporation organized under the DGCL, subject to the terms of this LLC Agreement and as may be prescribed by the Managing Member, and will have such other powers and duties as may be reasonably prescribed by the Managing Member or set forth in this LLC Agreement.

(d) Except as set forth in this LLC Agreement, the Managing Member may appoint Officers at any time, and the Officers may include, in addition to the Chief Executive Officer, a president, one or more vice presidents, a secretary, one or more assistant secretaries, a chief financial officer, a general counsel, a treasurer, one or more assistant treasurers, a chief operating officer, an executive chairman, and any other officers that the Managing Member deems appropriate. Except as set forth in this LLC Agreement, the Officers will serve at the pleasure of the Managing Member, subject to all rights, if any, of such Officer under any contract of employment. Any individual may hold any number of offices, and an Officer may, but need not, be a Member of the Company. The Officers will exercise such powers and perform such duties as specified in this LLC Agreement or as reasonably determined from time to time by the Managing Member.

(e) Subject to this LLC Agreement and to the rights, if any, of an Officer under a contract of employment, any Officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Managing Member. Any Officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Managing Member. Any resignation will take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice and, unless otherwise specified in that notice, the acceptance of the resignation will not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Company under any contract to which the Officer is a party. A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, removal, disqualification or any other cause will be filled in the manner prescribed in this LLC Agreement for regular appointments to that office.

33

7.3 Warranted Reliance by Officers on Others. In exercising their authority and performing their duties under this LLC Agreement, the Officers shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements of the following Persons or groups unless they have actual knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted:

(a) one or more employees or other agents of the Company or its Subsidiaries whom the Officer reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; and

(b) any attorney, public accountant, or other Person as to matters which the Officer reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence.

7.4 Indemnification.

(a) Right to Indemnification. Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise subject to or involved in any Action, by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was a Member (including the Managing Member), is or was serving as the Company Representative (including any “designated individual”) or the Continuing Member Representative or an officer, manager or director (or equivalent) or, at the discretion of the Managing Member, any employee or agent, of the Managing Member, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or is or was an officer, manager or director (or equivalent) or, at the discretion of the Managing Member, any employee or agent, of the Managing Member, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries serving at the request of the Managing Member or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an officer, manager or director (or equivalent) or, at the discretion of the Managing Member, any employee or agent, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other entity or which relates to or arises out of the property, business or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Action is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as an officer, manager, director, employee or agent, shall be indemnified by the Company against all expense to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Liability and loss (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith (“Indemnifiable Losses”); provided, however, that, such Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification if such Indemnitee’s conduct constituted fraud, willful misconduct, or a knowing violation of Law; provided, further, however, except as provided in Section 7.4(d) with respect to Actions to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.4 in connection with an Action (or part thereof but excluding any compulsory counterclaim) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Action (or part thereof but excluding any compulsory counterclaim) was authorized by the Board.

(b) Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.4(a) shall include the right to advancement by the Company of any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in participating in or defending any such Action in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expense (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that if (a) the Act requires or (b) in the case of an Advancement of Expenses made in a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee shall be made pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking (an “Undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay, without interest, all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 7.4(b). An Indemnitee’s right to an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct and is not conditioned upon any prior determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.4(a) with respect to the related Action or the absence of any prior determination to the contrary.

(c) Contract Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in Sections 7.4(a) and (b) shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, manager, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, estate, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

34

(d) Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Sections 7.4(a) or (b) is not paid in full by the Company within sixty (60) calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be thirty (30) calendar days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification under this LLC Agreement (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses, without interest, upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Act. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Managing Member or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Act, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Managing Member or independent legal counsel) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses under this LLC Agreement, or brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses under this LLC Agreement pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement of Expenses, shall be on the Company.

(e) Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.4, the Company shall pay or reimburse out of pocket expenses incurred by any Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.4 in connection with such Person’s appearance as a witness or other participation in an Action at a time when such Person is not a named defendant or respondent in the Action.

(f) Non-exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Section 7.4 shall not be exclusive of any other right which a Person may have or hereafter acquire under any Law, this LLC Agreement, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Section 7.4 shall limit or otherwise affect any such other right or the Company’s power to confer any such other right.

(g) Payments. Given that certain jointly indemnifiable claims (as defined below) may arise due to the service of the Indemnitee as Managing Member and/or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the indemnitee-related entities (as defined below), the Company shall be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or Advancement of Expenses in connection with any such jointly indemnifiable claims, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.4, irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from the indemnitee-related entities. Under no circumstance shall the Company be entitled to any right of subrogation against or contribution by the indemnitee-related entities and no right of advancement, indemnification or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the indemnitee-related entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the indemnitee or the obligations of the Company under this Section 7.4 In the event that any of the indemnitee-related entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or Advancement of Expenses with respect to any jointly indemnifiable claim, the indemnitee-related entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company, and the Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the indemnitee-related entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(i) The term “indemnitee-related entities” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Company or any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which the Indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of the Company or at the Company’s request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered by the indemnity described herein) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or Advancement of Expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Company may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.

35

(ii) The term “jointly indemnifiable claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or Advancement of Expenses from both the indemnitee-related entities and the Company pursuant to applicable law, any agreement, certificate of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Company or the indemnitee-related entities, as applicable.

(h) Maintenance of Insurance. The Company or PubCo shall maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance from a financially sound and reputable insurer (at a minimum, in such amounts as are standard in the industry) to protect directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries against Indemnifiable Losses of such Indemnitee, whether or not the Company has the authority to indemnify such Indemnitee against such Indemnifiable Losses under this Section 7.4, in each case to the extent available under the directors’ and officers’ insurance policy of PubCo.

7.5 Resignation or Termination of Managing Member. PubCo shall not, by any means, resign as, cease to be or be replaced as Managing Member except in compliance with this Section 7.5. No termination or replacement of PubCo as Managing Member shall be effective unless proper provision is made, in compliance with this LLC Agreement, so that the obligations of PubCo, its successor (if applicable) and any new Managing Member and the rights of all Members under this LLC Agreement and applicable Law remain in full force and effect. No appointment of a Person other than PubCo (or its successor, as applicable) as Managing Member shall be effective unless (a) the new Managing Member executes a joinder to this LLC Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions in this LLC Agreement, and (b) PubCo (or its successor, as applicable) and the new Managing Member (as applicable) provide all other Members with contractual rights, directly enforceable by such other Members against PubCo (or its successor, as applicable) and the new Managing Member (as applicable), to cause (i) PubCo to comply with all PubCo’s obligations under this LLC Agreement (including its obligations under Section 4.6) other than those that must necessarily be taken solely in its capacity as Managing Member and (ii) the new Managing Member to comply with all the Managing Member’s obligations under this LLC Agreement.

7.6 Reclassification Events of PubCo. If a Reclassification Event occurs, the Managing Member or its successor as a result of such Reclassification Event, as the case may be, shall, as and to the extent necessary, amend this LLC Agreement in compliance with Section 12.1, and enter into any necessary supplementary or additional agreements, to ensure that, following the effective date of the Reclassification Event: (a) the exchange rights of holders of Units set forth in Section 4.6 provide that each Class B Unit (together with the surrender and delivery of one (1) share of Class B Common Stock) is exchangeable for the same amount and same type of property, securities or cash (or combination thereof) that one (1) share of Class A Common Stock becomes exchangeable for or converted into as a result of the Reclassification Event and (b) PubCo or the successor to PubCo as a result of such Reclassification Event, as applicable, is obligated to deliver such property, securities or cash upon such exchange. PubCo shall not consummate or agree to consummate any Reclassification Event unless the successor Person as a result of such Reclassification Event, if any, becomes obligated to comply with the obligations of PubCo (in whatever capacity) under this LLC Agreement.

7.7 Certain Costs and Expenses. The Managing Member shall not be compensated for its services as Managing Member of the Company. The Company shall (a) pay, or cause to be paid, all costs, fees, operating expenses and other expenses of the Company (including the costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants or other professionals and the compensation of all personnel providing services to the Company) incurred in pursuing and conducting, or otherwise related to, the activities of the Company and (b) upon the good faith determination of the Managing Member, reimburse the Managing Member for any costs, fees or expenses incurred by it in connection with serving as the Managing Member. To the extent that the Managing Member determines in good faith that such expenses are related to the business and affairs of the Managing Member that are conducted through the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (including expenses that relate to the business and affairs of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and that also relate to other activities of the Managing Member), the Managing Member may cause the Company to pay or bear such expenses of the Managing Member, including costs of securities offerings not borne directly by Members, board of directors compensation and meeting costs, costs of periodic reports to its stockholders, litigation costs and damages arising from litigation, accounting and legal costs; provided that the Company shall not pay or bear any income tax obligations owed by PubCo or the cost of any Tax Benefit Payment (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) or any amounts owed by PubCo under the Tax Receivable Agreement; provided, further, that in the event any cost or expense incurred by the Managing Member is paid by the Managing Member from the gross proceeds received by PubCo in connection with an offering, issuance, exercise or conversion of Equity Securities or Debt Securities and only the net amount of such proceeds is contributed to the Company, such costs or expenses shall not be reimbursed under this Section 7.7.

36

ARTICLE VIII
ROLE OF MEMBERS

8.1 Rights or Powers. Other than the Managing Member, the Members, acting in their capacity as Members, shall not have any right or power to take part in the operation, management or control of the Company or its business and affairs, transact any business in the Company’s name or to act for or bind the Company in any way and shall not have any voting rights. Any Member, its Affiliates and its and their employees, managers, owners, agents, directors and officers may also be an employee or be retained as an agent of the Company, if requested by the Managing Member. Nothing in this Article VIII shall in any way limit any Member’s rights pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Tax Receivable Agreement.

8.2 Various Capacities. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Members or their Affiliates will from time to time act in various capacities, including as a Member or, in the case of PubCo, the Managing Member or the Company Representative, or, in the case of Lake Street Landlords or an Affiliate thereof, the Continuing Member Representative.

8.3 Investment Opportunities.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to (a) any Member (other than the Managing Member and Members and their Affiliates who are officers or employees of the Company, PubCo or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in which case solely acting in their capacity as such), (b) any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Managing Member and Members and their Affiliates who are officers or employees of the Company, PubCo or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in which case solely acting in their capacity as such ), (c) each Continuing Member or any of its respective Affiliates (including its respective investors and equityholders and any associated Persons or investment funds or any of their respective portfolio companies or investments, other than the Managing Member and Members and their Affiliates who are officers or employees of the Company, PubCo or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in which case solely acting in their capacity as such) or (d) any of the respective officers, managers, directors, agents, shareholders, members, and partners of any of the foregoing, including any such Person acting as a director of PubCo at the request of such Member (other than the Managing Member and Members and their Affiliates who are officers or employees of the Company, PubCo or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in which case solely acting in their capacity as such), (each, a “Business Opportunities Exempt Party”). The Company and each of the Members, on its own behalf and on behalf of their respective Affiliates and equityholders, hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to any Business Opportunities Exempt Party and irrevocably waives any right to require any Business Opportunity Exempt Party to act in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 8.3. No Business Opportunities Exempt Party who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for PubCo, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates or equityholders shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company and none of PubCo, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates or equityholders will acquire or be entitled to any interest or participation in any such transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter or opportunity as a result of participation therein by a Business Opportunity Exempt Party. This Section 8.3 shall not apply to, and no interest or expectancy of the Company is renounced with respect to, any opportunity offered to any director or officer of PubCo if such opportunity is expressly offered or presented to, or acquired or developed by, such Person in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, neither Lake Street Landlords nor any of its Affiliates (other than PubCo) (or any partner, officer, employee, investor, or other representative of any of the foregoing Persons) (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other Person for any claim arising out of, or based upon, (i) the investment by any Covered Person in any entity competitive with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) actions taken by any Covered Person to assist any such competitive company, whether or not such action was taken as a member of the board of directors of such competitive company or otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided that such Covered Person complies with any fiduciary relationship or duties owed to PubCo, the Company or its Subsidiaries in such Covered Person’s capacity as an officer or director of PubCo, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Continuing Member Representative or any Affiliate thereof (or any partner, officer, employee, investor, or other representative of any of the foregoing Persons) will be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship or duties to the other Continuing Members by virtue of ownership of Units. No amendment or repeal of this Section 8.3 shall apply to or have any effect on the Liability or alleged Liability of any Business Opportunities Exempt Party or any Covered Person for or with respect to any opportunities of which any such Person becomes aware, or any investment or action, prior to such amendment or repeal. Any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any Units shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 8.3. Neither the amendment or repeal of this Section 8.3, nor the adoption of any provision of this LLC Agreement inconsistent with this Section 8.3, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Section 8.3 in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action that, but for this Section 8.3, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. No action or inaction taken by any Business Opportunities Exempt Party in a manner consistent with this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to be a violation of any fiduciary or other duty owed to any Person.

37

ARTICLE IX
TRANSFERS OF UNITS

9.1 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) No Member shall directly or indirectly Transfer all or any portion of its Units, except Transfers made in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1(c) or as otherwise approved by the Board, (it being understood that any Transfer of Class A Common Stock by any holder thereof, or any Transfer of Units in connection with a PubCo redemption, Change of Control Transaction or PubCo Offer in accordance with Section 4.1(g) and Section 4.1(h)) shall not be a Transfer by the Managing Member that is prohibited for purposes of this Article IX). If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.1(a), all or any portion of a Member’s Units are Transferred by such Member in violation of this Section 9.1(a), involuntarily, by operation of Law or otherwise, then without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the other Parties under this LLC Agreement, the Transferee of such Units (or portion thereof) shall not be admitted to the Company as a Member nor be entitled to any rights as a Member under this LLC Agreement, and the Transferor will continue to be bound by all obligations under this LLC Agreement. Any attempted or purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Units in violation of this Section 9.1(a) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.

(b) Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 9.1(a), (i) no shares of Class B Common Stock may be Transferred by a Member unless an equal number of Class B Units are Transferred therewith in accordance with this LLC Agreement (including in respect of those Transfers permitted by Section 9.1(c)), and (ii) no Class B Units may be Transferred by a Member holding Class B Common Stock unless an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock are Transferred therewith in accordance with this LLC Agreement (including in respect of those Transfers permitted by Section 9.1(c)).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the restrictions contained in Section 9.1(a) shall not apply to any Transfer (each, a “Permitted Transfer”): (i) in connection with an “Exchange” made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6, (ii) by a Member to PubCo or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, or (iii) by a Member to any of such Member’s Permitted Transferees; provided, however, if a Transfer pursuant to clause (iii) would result in a Change of Control, such Member must provide the Managing Member with written notice of such Transfer at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the consummation of such Transfer; provided further, that the restrictions contained in this LLC Agreement will continue to apply to Units after any Permitted Transfer of such Units, and the Transferees of the Units so Transferred shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this LLC Agreement. In the case of a Permitted Transfer of any Class B Units by a Continuing Member, such transferring Member shall be required to Transfer an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock corresponding to the number of such Member’s Class B Units that were Transferred in the transaction to such Transferee. All Permitted Transfers are subject to the additional limitations set forth in Section 9.1(d).

(d) In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer contained in this Article IX, in no event may any Transfer (including any Exchange or exercise of the PubCo Call Right) or assignment of Units by any Member be made, in the reasonable determination of the Managing Member, (i) to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own Units; (ii) if such Transfer would (A) be considered to be effected on or through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof” as such terms are used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1, (B) result in the Company having more than 100 partners, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h) (determined taking into account the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)), (C) cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation pursuant to the Code, or (D) cause the Company to have a withholding obligation under Section 1446(f) of the Code; (iii) if such Transfer would cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code); (iv) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulations or otherwise cause the Company to be subject to regulation under ERISA; (v) if such Transfer requires the registration of any equity securities issued upon any exchange of such Units, pursuant to any applicable U.S. federal or state Securities Law, and no registration statement covering such securities is then in effect; or (vi) if such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. Any attempted or purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Units in violation of this Section 9.1(d) shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.

38

10.3 Tax Returns; Information.

(a) Subject to Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company Representative shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all income and other tax and informational returns of the Company. The Company shall prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) to each Person who was a Member at any time during the relevant quarter of the relevant Taxable Year an estimated K-1, including reasonable quarterly estimates of such Member’s state tax apportionment information and the allocations to such Member of taxable income, gains, losses, deductions or credits for such Taxable Year for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax reporting purposes at least fifteen (15) days prior to the individual or corporate quarterly estimate payment deadline for U.S. federal income taxes for calendar year filers (whichever is earlier). As promptly as reasonably practicable following the end of each Taxable Year, the Company shall prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) to each Person who was a Member at any time during such Taxable Year (i) in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each Taxable Year, an estimated IRS Schedule K-1 (and any similar form prescribed for applicable state and local income tax purposes) or similar documents with such information of the Company and all relevant information regarding the Company reasonably necessary for the Members to estimate their taxable income for such Taxable Year, and (ii) in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Taxable Year, a final IRS Schedule K-1 (and any similar form prescribed for applicable state and local income tax purposes) and all relevant information regarding the Company reasonably necessary for the Members to file their tax returns on a timely basis (including extensions) for such Taxable Year. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to each Member and former Member, as soon as reasonably practicable after an applicable request, all information relating to the Company and in the Company’s possession reasonably requested by such Member and that is reasonably necessary for such Member to prepare and file its own tax returns and pay its own taxes or make distributions to its members in order for them to pay their taxes (including copies of the Company’s federal, state and local income tax returns). Each Member and former Member shall furnish to the Company all pertinent information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to enable the Company’s tax returns to be prepared and filed. Each Member further agrees (including with respect to the Taxable Year that such Member becomes a former Member) that such Member shall notify the Company and consult with the Company regarding a position on its tax return in the event such Member intends to file its tax returns in a manner that is inconsistent with the Schedule K-1 or other statements furnished by the Company to such Member for purposes of preparing tax returns.

(b) In addition to each Member’s rights to information pursuant to and in accordance with Section 18-305 of the Act, each Member shall be entitled to examine, either directly or through its representatives, the books and records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the principal office of the Company or such other location as the Managing Member shall reasonably approve during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest as a Member of the Company with the information to which such Member shall be entitled about the Company or any of its Subsidiaries being the same information to which a stockholder of a Delaware corporation would have with respect to such corporation; provided that, in any event, the Managing Member has a right to keep confidential from the Members certain information in accordance with Section 18-305 of the Act.

10.4 Company Representative.

(a) PubCo is hereby designated as the Company Representative. In addition, PubCo is hereby authorized to designate or remove any other Person selected by PubCo as the Company Representative; provided that all actions taken by the Company Representative pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be subject to the overall oversight and authority of the Board. For each Taxable Year in which the Company Representative is an entity, the Company shall appoint the “designated individual” identified by the Company Representative and approved by the Board to act on its behalf in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations or analogous provisions of state or local Law. Each Member hereby expressly consents to such designations and agrees to take, and that the Managing Member is authorized to take (or cause the Company to take), such other actions as may be necessary or advisable pursuant to Treasury Regulations or other IRS or Treasury guidance or state or local Law to cause such designations or evidence such Member’s consent to such designations, including removing any Person designated as the Company Representative (including any “designated individual”) prior to the date of this LLC Agreement.

(b) Subject to this Section 10.4 and Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company Representative shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Company in connection with, make all relevant decisions regarding application of, and to exercise the rights and powers provided for in the BBA Rules, including making or refraining from making any elections under the BBA Rules (including making or refraining from making an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law)) or any decisions to settle, compromise, challenge, litigate or otherwise alter the defense of any Action, audit or examination before the IRS or any other tax authority (each an “Audit”), and to reasonably expend Company funds for professional services and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(d) and to Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company Representative will have sole discretion to determine whether the Company (either on its own behalf or on behalf of the Members) will contest or continue to contest any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed by any tax authority.

40

(c) The Company Representative is authorized, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, to cause the Company to pay any imputed underpayment of taxes and any related interest, penalties and additions to tax determined in accordance with Code Section 6225 that may from time to time be required to be made under Code Section 6232 and to pay any similar amounts arising under state, local, or foreign tax Laws (together, “Imputed Tax Underpayments”). Imputed Tax Underpayments also shall include any imputed underpayment within the meaning of Code Section 6225 (any similar amounts arising under state, local, or foreign tax Laws) 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 contract. To the extent permissible under applicable Law, the Company Representative may cause the Company to allocate the amount of any Imputed Tax Underpayment among the Members (including any former Members) in an equitable manner, taking into account, among other factors, the magnitude of the Imputed Tax Underpayment, the nature of the tax items that are the subject of the adjustment giving rise to the Imputed Tax Underpayment, the classification of the Members for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Persons who received (and the proportions in which they received) the benefits of the activities that gave rise to that Imputed Tax Underpayment. To the extent that the Company Representative elects to cause the Company to pay an Imputed Tax Underpayment, the Company Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue available procedures under applicable Law to reduce such Imputed Tax Underpayment (at the cost of such Members or former members in respect of which any Imputed Tax Underpayment has been allocated) on account of its Members’ (or any of the Members’ direct or indirect beneficial owners’) tax status, with any corresponding reduction being credited to the applicable Member for purposes of allocating such Imputed Tax Underpayment among the relevant Members or former Members to the extent relevant.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company Representative shall give prompt written notice to the Continuing Member Representative of the commencement of any income tax Audit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Continuing Members (or their owners). Subject to Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company Representative shall (i) keep the Continuing Member Representative reasonably informed of the material developments and status of any such Audit, (ii) permit the Continuing Member Representative (or its designee) to participate (including using separate counsel), in each case at the Continuing Members’ sole cost and expense, in any such Audit, to the extent permitted under applicable tax Law, and (iii) promptly notify the Continuing Member Representative of receipt of a notice of a final partnership adjustment (or equivalent under applicable Laws) or a final decision of a court or IRS Appeals panel (or equivalent body under applicable Laws) with respect to such Audit. The Company Representative or the Company shall promptly provide the Continuing Member Representative with copies of all material correspondence between the Company Representative or the Company (as applicable) and any Governmental Entity in connection with such Audit and shall give the Continuing Member Representative a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any material, non-ministerial correspondence, submission (including settlement or compromise offers) or filing in connection with any such Audit. The Company Representative shall not (and the Company shall not (and shall not authorize the Company Representative to)) settle, compromise, make an election under the BBA Rules, other than a Push-Out Election in connection with, or abandon any Audit in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate (compared to PubCo) and material adverse effect on the Continuing Members without the Continuing Member Representative’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The obligations of the Company and the Company Representative under this Section 10.4(d) with respect to any Audit affecting Continuing Members as a result of their prior ownership of Units shall continue after any Continuing Member Transfers any or all of such Units.

(e) If the Company Representative causes the Company to make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state or local Law) (a “Push-Out Election”), each Member who was a Member of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or for purposes of applicable state, local, or non-U.S. Law, for the “reviewed year” (within the meaning of Code Section 6225(d)(1) or similar concept under applicable state, local, or non-U.S. Law), shall take any adjustment to income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or otherwise (as determined in the notice of final partnership adjustment or similar concept under applicable state, local, or non-U.S. Law) into account as provided for in Code Section 6226(b) (or similar concept under applicable state, local, or non-U.S. Law).

(f) Promptly following the written request of the Company Representative, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, reimburse and indemnify the Company Representative (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any “designated individual”) for all reasonable expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred by the Company Representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and fulfillment of its duties under this Section 10.4. Nothing in this LLC Agreement will be construed to restrict the Company or the Company Representative from engaging an accounting firm or legal counsel to assist the Company Representative in discharging its duties under this LLC Agreement.

(g) Each Member agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Company Representative and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Company Representative with respect to this Section 10.4, including timely providing any information reasonably necessary or advisable for the Company Representative to comply with its obligations under Section 10.4(c), that is or are reasonably necessary or advisable to reduce the amount of any tax, interest, penalties or similar amounts the cost of which is (or would otherwise be) borne by the Company (directly or indirectly) or to make any election permitted by this LLC Agreement and the Code or other relevant tax Law unless such Member is restricted from providing such information under any applicable Law or contract. Each Member acknowledges that any action taken by the Company Representative in its capacity as such may be binding upon such Members and that such Member shall not independently act with respect to Audits affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries (but the Continuing Member shall in all events retain all rights provided to it under this LLC Agreement, including Section 10.4(d)).

41

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this LLC Agreement, in the event of any conflict between Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement and this LLC Agreement, Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement shall control. The Company, the Company Representative, the Managing Member, and the Members hereby acknowledge and agree to the foregoing sentence and expressly agree to be bound by the terms of Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement, including that with respect to any Audit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending before or including the date of the Effective Time and for which a Push-Out Election is available, all such available elections shall be made in accordance with applicable Laws unless otherwise determined by the Company Representative.

(i) This Section 10.4 shall be interpreted to apply to Members and former Members and shall survive the Transfer of a Member’s Units and the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and, for this purpose to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence.

10.5 Withholding Tax Payments and Obligations.

(a) If the Company or any other Person in which the Company holds an interest, or PubCo or the Managing Member is required by Law to deduct or withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member or in respect of any Exchange or exercise of the PubCo Call Right, or the Company or any other Person in which the Company holds an interest is subjected to tax itself (including any amounts withheld from amounts directly or indirectly payable to the Company or to any other Person in which the Company holds an interest) by reason of the status of any Member as such or that is specifically attributable to a Member (including federal, state, local or foreign withholding, personal property, unincorporated business or other taxes, the amount of any Imputed Tax Underpayments allocated to a Member in accordance with Section 10.4, and any interest, penalties, additions to tax, and expenses related to any such amounts) (“Tax Withholding/Payment Amounts”), the Managing Member or PubCo may deduct or withhold or cause the Company to deduct or withhold such amounts as so required without any gross-up payments owed to the applicable Member or other Person and cause the Company to make such tax payments as so required, and each Member hereby authorizes PubCo, the Managing Member, and the Company to do so; provided, the Company, PubCo, and the Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith with the Continuing Member Representative to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any such withholding which relates to any Continuing Member. All Tax Withholding/Payment Amounts made on behalf of a Member shall at the option of PubCo or the Managing Member (i) be promptly paid to the Company (or PubCo or the Managing Member, as applicable) by the Member or other Person on whose behalf such Tax Withholding/Payment Amount were made or are to be made (either before the deduction or withholding (e.g., if there is no cash payment from which to withhold) or payment is required to be made or after the Managing Member, PubCo, the Company (or other applicable withholding agent) undertakes such deduction or withholding or makes such tax payment) or (ii) be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or Tax Distribution and, if applicable, the proceeds of liquidation that would otherwise have been made to such Member under this LLC Agreement; provided, that if a Tax Withholding/Payment Amount is made on behalf of a former Member, then such former Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company for the entire amount of such Tax Withholding/Payment Amount. For all purposes of this LLC Agreement, such Member shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution or other amount, if applicable, that is equal to the Tax Withholding/Payment Amount at the time of such Tax Withholding/Payment Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the aggregate amount of Tax Withholding/Payment Amounts for any period made on behalf of a Member exceeds the actual distributions and Tax Distributions that would have otherwise been made to such Member during the fifteen (15) months following such Tax Withholding/Payment Amount, then such Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company for the entire amount of such excess (which has not offset distributions or Tax Distributions pursuant to this Section 10.5); provided, that such indemnification obligation shall be the several obligation of such Member and shall not be treated as Capital Contributions. For the avoidance of doubt, any income taxes, penalties, additions to tax and interest payable by the Company or any fiscally transparent entity in which the Company owns an interest shall be treated as specifically attributable to the Members and shall be allocated among the Members such that the burden of (or any diminution in distributable proceeds resulting from) any such amounts is borne by those Members to whom such amounts are specifically attributable or their successors in interest (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions or otherwise, including pursuant to an allocation made under Section 10.4(c)), in each case as reasonably determined by the Company Representative. At the reasonable request of the Managing Member, PubCo, or the Company, the Members (or other applicable Persons) shall provide the Managing Member, PubCo, or the Company, with any necessary tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or any other information or form that is relevant to determine whether any deduction or withholding is required. To the extent any amounts are deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority pursuant to this Section 10.5, such amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been required to be paid.

(b) This Section 10.5 shall be interpreted to apply to Members and former Members and shall survive the Transfer of a Member’s Units and the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and, for this purpose, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence.

42

10.6 Tax Treatment. The Members and the Company intend that (i) payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement in respect of Exchanges and the exercise of the PubCo Call Right be treated as additional consideration in respect of the transfer of the interests in the Company effectuated in connection with such Exchanges and such exercises of the PubCo Call Right except to the extent required to be treated as imputed interest under applicable law or as otherwise provided under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) the Initial Sale (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement), if any, be treated as a direct sale or exchange of partnership interests between PubCo and each applicable Member who receives cash in the Initial Sale, if any, that is funded by PubCo for all U.S. federal and applicable state, local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, and (iii) PubCo’s contribution of cash to the Company for Class A Units in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement be treated as a Capital Contribution governed by Section 721(a) of the Code (and any similar applicable state, local or non-U.S. provision of tax Law). The Members and the Company will, and will cause all of their Affiliates to, file all tax returns consistent with the foregoing, unless otherwise required by applicable Law including a determination of an applicable taxing authority that is final.

(1) Class B Units (as defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement) shall be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Class B Units in accordance with the Holdings LLC Agreement, together with the surrender and cancellation of the same number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock held by holder. Before any holder of Class B Units shall be entitled voluntarily to exchange any such Class B Units, such holder shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office of the election to exchange the same, together with the election to surrender and cancellation of the same number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder, and shall state therein the name or names in which such Class A Common Stock are to be registered in book entry. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, register the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder of Class B Common Stock and Class B Units shall be entitled as aforesaid in book-entry form. Such exchange of Class B Units, and surrender and cancellation of Class B Common Stock shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the written notice of such holder’s election to exchange and, surrender and cancel required by this Section 4.3(D)(1), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such exchange, and surrender and cancellation shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date. Each share of Class B Common Stock that is surrendered and cancelled pursuant to this Section 4.3(D)(1) shall be retired by the Corporation and shall not be available for reissuance; and

(2) the Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or the other provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the Holdings LLC Agreement, relating to the exchange of the Class B Units, together with the surrender and cancellation of the Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock, as it may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith. If the Corporation has a reasonable basis to believe that a Transfer giving rise to an exchange of Class B Units, together with the surrender and cancellation of the Class B Common Stock, for Class A Common Stock has occurred but has not theretofore been reflected on the books of the Corporation, the Corporation may request in writing that the holder of such shares furnish affidavits or other reasonable evidence to the Corporation as the Corporation deems necessary to determine whether an exchange of Class B Units, together with the surrender and cancellation of the Class B Common Stock, for Class A Common Stock has occurred and if such holder does not, within thirty days after receipt of such written request, furnish reasonable evidence to the Corporation to enable the Corporation to determine that no such exchange has occurred, any such Class B Units and Class B Common Stock, to the extent not previously exchanged or surrendered and cancelled, respectively, shall be automatically exchanged, and surrendered and cancelled, respectively, into shares of Class A Common Stock and the same shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation. In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting or by written consent, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders or in connection with any such written consent and the class or classes or series of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class or classes or series held by such stockholder.

( E ) Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock an amount equal to at least the number of then-outstanding Class B Units subject to Exchange (as defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement) from time to time.

( F ) Splits. If the Corporation at any time combines or subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amendment of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, scheme, arrangement or otherwise (each, a “Split”)) any class of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, the shares of each other class of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately similarly combined or subdivided such that the ratio of shares of outstanding Class B Common Stock to shares of outstanding Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such subdivision shall be maintained immediately after such combination or subdivision. Any adjustment described in this Section 4.3(F) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the combination or subdivision becomes effective.

( G ) Transfers of Class B Common Stock; Cancellation of Class B Common Stock.

(1) No shares of Class B Common Stock may be issued by the Corporation except to a holder of Class B Units of Holdings, such that after such issuance of Class B Common Stock, such holder of Class B Units holds an identical number of shares of Class B Common Stock. No shares of Class B Common Stock may be transferred by the holder thereof except (i) for no consideration to the Corporation upon which transfer such shares shall automatically be cancelled pursuant to Section 4.3(G)(2), or (ii) together with the transfer of an identical number of Class B Units made in compliance with the Holdings LLC Agreement. If any outstanding share of Class B Common Stock ceases to be held by a holder of the corresponding Class B Unit, such share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class B Common Stock, be transferred to the Corporation for no consideration and cancelled.

 4

(2) Immediately upon the effective time of exchange of Class B Units and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock for a Stock Exchange Payment and/or a Cash Exchange Payment (as each such term is defined in the Holdings LLC Agreement), as the case may be, such shares of Class B Common Stock held by such exchanging holder shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or holder of Class B Common Stock be canceled with no consideration being paid or issued with respect thereto. Any such canceled shares of Class B Common Stock shall be automatically retired and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock and all rights with respect to such shares shall automatically cease and terminate.

( H ) Ranking. Except as expressly provided in this Article IV, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights and privileges and rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any dissolution or liquidation or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters.

( I ) No Preemptive Rights. No holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive rights.

( J ) Conversion or Exchange of Class A Common Stock. Class A Common Stock shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1. By-Laws. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the DGCL, the Board is expressly authorized to make, amend, alter, change, add to or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “By-Laws”) without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Second Amended and Restated Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote of the stockholders, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required herein (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock), by the By-Laws or pursuant to applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any provision of Article I, Article II or Article IV of the By-Laws of the Corporation, or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith and, with respect to any other provision of the By-Laws of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any such provision of the By-Laws of the Corporation, or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1. Board of Directors.

( A ) Director Powers. Except as otherwise provided in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board.

 5

( B ) Number of Directors. The total number of directors constituting the whole Board shall, (a) as of the date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, initially be seven and (b) thereafter, shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by a majority of the Board.

( C ) Classified Board. The directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date, Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors remove, or shorten the term of, any incumbent director. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to their respective class.

( D ) Board Vacancies and Newly-Created Directorships. Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any newly-created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by the stockholders). Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

( E ) Term and Removal. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission permitted by the By-Laws. Any or all of the directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. In case the Board or any one or more directors should be so removed, new directors may be elected pursuant to Section 6.1(B).

( F ) Preferred Directors. Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) applicable thereto. Notwithstanding Section 6.1(A), the number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to Section 6.1(A) hereof, and the total number of directors constituting the whole Board shall be automatically adjusted accordingly.

( G ) Vote by Ballot. Directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the By-Laws shall so provide.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.1. Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of stock of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing or by electric transmission by such holders unless such action is recommended or approved by all directors of the Corporation then in office; provided, however, that to the extent expressly permitted by the certificate of designations relating to one or more series of Preferred Stock, by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing or by electric transmission, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class or series having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

Section 7.2. Meetings of Stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by or at the direction of the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or as otherwise provided in the By-Laws.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1. Limited Liability of Directors. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no director of the Corporation will have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Section 8.2. Change in Rights. Neither the amendment nor the repeal of this Article VIII shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 8.3. Director and Officer Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and advance expenses to any Person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

Section 8.4. Employee and Agent Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may indemnify and advance expenses to any Person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as an employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

( e ) any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits (other than those expressly permitted in subsections (a) through (d) above) provided by or through the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary.

(4) “control,” including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with,” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract, or otherwise.

 9

( c ) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in item (ii) of subsection (b) above), or disposing of such stock with any other person that beneficially owns, or whose Affiliates or associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, such stock.

(7) “person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated association or other entity.

(8) “stock” means, with respect to any corporation, capital stock and, with respect to any other entity, any equity interest.

ARTICLE X

Section 10.1. Competition and Corporate Opportunities.

( A ) In recognition and anticipation that (i) members of the Board who are not employees of the Corporation (“Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates and Affiliated Entities (each, as defined below) may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (ii) the Stockholder Parties and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, and the provisions of this Article X are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of the Non-Employee Directors, the Stockholder Parties or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.

( B ) None of (i) any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation in both his or her director and officer capacities) or his or her Affiliates or Affiliated Entities and (ii) the Stockholder Parties or any of their respective Affiliates (the Persons (as defined below) above being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (1) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates has historically engaged, now engages or proposes to engage at any time or (2) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 10.1(C). Subject to Section 10.1(C), in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its, her or his Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation.

( C ) Subject to Section 10.1(D), the Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director if such opportunity is expressly offered or presented to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section 10.1(B) shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

 11

( D ) In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article X, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation, (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy, or (iv) is one presented to any Person for the benefit of a member of the Board or such member’s Affiliate over which such member of the Board has no direct or indirect influence or control, including, but not limited to, a blind trust.

( E ) For purposes of this Article X, (i) “Affiliate” shall mean (a) in respect of a member of the Board, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such member of the Board (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (b) in respect of any of the Stockholder Parties, a Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by any of the Stockholder Parties, controls any of the Stockholder Parties or is under common control with any of the Stockholder Parties and shall include any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (c) in respect of a Non-Employee Director, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Non-Employee Director (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation) and (d) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation; (ii) “Affiliated Entity” shall mean (x) any Person of which a Non-Employee Director serves as an officer, director, employee, agent or other representative (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (y) any direct or indirect partner, stockholder, member, manager or other representative of such Person or (z) any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with any of the foregoing, including any investment fund or vehicle under common management; and (iii) “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, association or any other entity.

( F ) For the purposes of this Article X, “control,” including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with,” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract, or otherwise. A Person who is the owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such Person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Section 10.1(F), as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

( G ) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article X.

( H ) Any alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article X shall require the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Neither the alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article X, nor the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) inconsistent with this Article X, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article X in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article X, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition, repeal or adoption. This Article X shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the By-Laws, any indemnification agreement between such Person and the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or applicable law.

 12

ARTICLE XI

Section 11.1. Severability. If any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

ARTICLE XII

Section 12.1. Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, or any claim for aiding and abetting such alleged breach, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation (a) arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (as it may be amended or restated) or the By-Laws or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Delaware Court of Chancery, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Second and Restated Certificate or the By-Laws, or (v) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware shall, as to any action in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be solely and exclusively brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any claim (a) as to which the Delaware Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten (10) days following such determination), (b) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, or (c) arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as to which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XII will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “foreign action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”); and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article XII.

Section 1.2. Additional Offices. The Corporation may, in addition to its registered office in the State of Delaware, have such other offices and places of business, both within and outside the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) may from time to time determine or as the business and affairs of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS

Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a). At each annual meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect those directors of the Corporation to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such annual meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”), and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, or any stockholder holding at least 25% of the issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to vote, and may not be called by any other person. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a).

Section 2.3. Notices. Written notice of each stockholders meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 9.3 to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). If said notice is for a stockholders meeting other than an annual meeting, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed, and any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be cancelled, by the Board upon public announcement (as defined in Section 2.7(c)) given before the date previously scheduled for such meeting.

Section 2.4. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), or these By-Laws, the presence, in person or by proxy, at a stockholders meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.6 until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 2.5. Voting of Shares.

(a) Voting Lists. The Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If a meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of remote communication as permitted by Section 9.5(a), the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

2

(b) Manner of Voting. At any stockholders meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. If authorized by the Board, the voting by stockholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 9.3), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder. The Board, in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

(c) Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies need not be filed with the Secretary until the meeting is called to order, but shall be filed with the Secretary before being voted. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.

(i) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(ii) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(d) Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

3

(e) Inspectors of Election. The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each; determine the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.

Section 2.6. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting, from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the stockholders, or the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to vote separately as a class, as the case may be, may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If, after the adjournment, a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 9.2, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.7. Advance Notice for Business.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (x) who is a stockholder of record entitled to vote at such annual meeting on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.7(a) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (y) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7(a) to the contrary, only persons nominated for election as a director to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of the annual meeting pursuant to Section 3.2 will be considered for election at such meeting.

(i) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business (other than nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. Subject to Section 2.7(a)(iii), a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to such business, to be timely, must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (which date shall, for purposes of the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders, be deemed to have occurred on [●]); provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Corporation. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.7(a).

4

(ii) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to any business (other than nominations) must set forth as to each such matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event such business includes a proposal to amend these By-Laws, the language of the proposed amendment) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (B) the name and record address of such stockholder and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder, (E) any material interest of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business and (F) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

(iii) The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder as to any proposal (other than nominations) if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of such stockholder’s intention to present such proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such stockholder has complied with the requirements of such Rule for inclusion of such proposal in a proxy statement prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a); provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the Board or the chairman of the annual meeting determines that any stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(a) or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 2.7(a), such proposal shall not be presented for action at the annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(a), if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation.

(iv) In addition to the provisions of this Section 2.7(a), a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein. Nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

5

(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting only pursuant to Section 3.2.

(c) Public Announcement. For purposes of these By-Laws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (or any successor thereto).

Section 2.8. Conduct of Meetings. The chairman of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be the Chairman of the Board or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (if he or she shall be a director) or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Chief Executive Officer or if the Chief Executive Officer is not a director, the President (if he or she shall be a director) or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the President or if the President is not a director, such other person as shall be appointed by the Board. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The Board may adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with these By-Laws or such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. The secretary of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be the Secretary or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary so appointed to act by the chairman of the meeting. In the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 2.9. Consents in Lieu of Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders of the Corporation.

The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws required to be exercised or done by the stockholders. Directors need not be stockholders or residents of the State of Delaware. Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolution of the Board.

Section 3.2. Advance Notice for Nomination of Directors.

(a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation, except as may be otherwise provided by the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock with respect to the rights of holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting is greater than the number of directors whose terms expire on the date of the annual meeting and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for the additional directors to be elected or specifying the size of the increased Board before the close of business on the 90th day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 3.2 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships created by such increase that are to be filled by election at such annual meeting, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which such public announcement was first made by the Corporation.

Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

(e) If the Board or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders determines that any nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2, or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 3.2, then such nomination shall not be considered at the meeting in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination may have been received by the Corporation.

(f) In addition to the provisions of this Section 3.2, a stockholder shall also comply with all of the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors, including for service on a committee of the Board, and may be paid either a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board or other compensation as director. The directors may be reimbursed their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of committees of the Board may be allowed like compensation and reimbursement of expenses for service on the committee.

13

Section 7.5. Lost, Destroyed or Wrongfully Taken Certificates.

(a) If an owner of a certificate representing shares claims that such certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form if the owner: (i) requests such a new certificate before the Corporation has notice that the certificate representing such shares has been acquired by a protected purchaser; (ii) if requested by the Corporation, delivers to the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, wrongful taking or destruction of such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares; and (iii) satisfies other reasonable requirements imposed by the Corporation.

(b) If a certificate representing shares has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, and the owner fails to notify the Corporation of that fact within a reasonable time after the owner has notice of such loss, apparent destruction or wrongful taking and the Corporation registers a transfer of such shares before receiving notification, the owner shall be precluded from asserting against the Corporation any claim for registering such transfer or a claim to a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form.

(ii) (A) with respect to certificated shares, the endorsement is made by the person specified by the certificate as entitled to such shares; (B) with respect to uncertificated shares, an instruction is made by the registered owner of such uncertificated shares; or (C) with respect to certificated shares or uncertificated shares, the endorsement or instruction is made by any other appropriate person or by an agent who has actual authority to act on behalf of the appropriate person;

(iii) the Corporation has received a guarantee of signature of the person signing such endorsement or instruction or such other reasonable assurance that the endorsement or instruction is genuine and authorized as the Corporation may request;

(v) such other conditions for such transfer as shall be provided for under applicable law have been satisfied.

(b) Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security and not absolutely, the Corporation shall so record such fact in the entry of transfer if, when the certificate for such shares is presented to the Corporation for transfer or, if such shares are uncertificated, when the instruction for registration of transfer thereof is presented to the Corporation, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.

14

Section 7.7. Registered Stockholders. Before due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate representing shares of the Corporation or of an instruction requesting registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to inspect for any proper purpose the stock ledger and the other books and records of the Corporation, vote such shares, receive dividends or notifications with respect to such shares and otherwise exercise all the rights and powers of the owner of such shares, except that a person who is the beneficial owner of such shares (if held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person) may, upon providing documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of such shares and satisfying such other conditions as are provided under applicable law, may also so inspect the books and records of the Corporation.

(b) A restriction imposed by the Corporation on the transfer or the registration of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that may be owned by any person or group of persons, even if otherwise lawful, is ineffective against a person without actual knowledge of such restriction unless: (i) the shares are certificated and such restriction is noted conspicuously on the certificate; or (ii) the shares are uncertificated and such restriction was contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered owner of such shares within a reasonable time prior to or after the issuance or transfer of such shares.

Section 7.9. Regulations. The Board shall have power and authority to make such additional rules and regulations, subject to any applicable requirement of law, as the Board may deem necessary and appropriate with respect to the issue, transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock or certificates representing shares. The Board may appoint one or more transfer agents or registrars and may require for the validity thereof that certificates representing shares bear the signature of any transfer agent or registrar so appointed.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1. Right to Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

15

Section 8.2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.1, an Indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon the Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise.

Section 8.3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including a determination by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, shall be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Section 8.4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right, which such Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws, an agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Section 8.5. Insurance. The Corporation may secure and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

16

Section 8.6. Indemnification of Other Persons. This Article VIII shall not limit the right of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation and to any other person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Indemnitees under this Article VIII.

Section 8.7. Amendments. Except as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII by the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provision of these By-Laws inconsistent with this Article VIII, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to Indemnitees on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision; provided however, that amendments or repeals of this Article VIII shall require the affirmative vote of the stockholders holding at least 66.7% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

Section 8.8. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, (a) references to “other enterprise” shall include any employee benefit plan; (b) references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; (c) references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service that imposes duties on, or involves services by, a person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and (d) a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation” for purposes of Section 145 of the DGCL.

Section 8.9. Contract Rights. The rights provided to Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, agent or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 8.10. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1. Place of Meetings. If the place of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these By-Laws is not designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation; provided, however, if the Board has, in its sole discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.

17

Section 9.2. Fixing Record Dates.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board, or any committee thereof, may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, or such committee, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board, or such committee, so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board, or such committee thereof, determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, or any committee thereof, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board, or any committee thereof, may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(a) at the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board, or any committee thereof, may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 9.3. Means of Giving Notice.

(a) Notice to Directors. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws notice is required to be given to any director, such notice shall be given either (i) in writing and sent by mail, or by a nationally recognized delivery service, (ii) by means of facsimile telecommunication or other form of electronic transmission, or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iv) if sent by facsimile telecommunication, when sent to the facsimile transmission number for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, (v) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail address for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, or (vi) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when sent to the address, location or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation.

18

(b) Notice to Stockholders. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, such notice may be given (i) in writing and sent either by hand delivery, through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery, or (ii) by means of a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder, to the extent permitted by, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 232 of the DGCL. A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, when actually received by the stockholder, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, and (iv) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (A) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (B) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (C) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specified posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice, and (D) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent to receiving notice by means of electronic communication by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or to the Corporation’s transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

(c) Electronic Transmission. “Electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process, including but not limited to transmission by telex, facsimile telecommunication, electronic mail, telegram and cablegram.

A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

(e) Exceptions to Notice Requirements. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

19

Whenever notice is required to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, to any stockholder to whom (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings of stockholders and all notices of stockholder meetings or of the taking of action by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to such stockholder during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (2) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month period, have been mailed addressed to such stockholder at such stockholder’s address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such stockholder shall not be required. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to such stockholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such stockholder’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such stockholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL. The exception in subsection (1) of the first sentence of this paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission.

Section 9.4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, a written waiver of such notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice. All such waivers shall be kept with the books of the Corporation.

(i) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and

(ii) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (B) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and, if entitled to vote, to vote on matters submitted to the applicable stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

20

(b) Board Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may delegate powers to execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation to other officers or employees of the Corporation under such person’s supervision and authority, it being understood, however, that any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.

Any such officer, may, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of security holders of any corporation in which the Corporation may own securities, or to consent in writing, in the name of the Corporation as such holder, to any action by such corporation, and at any such meeting or with respect to any such consent shall possess and may exercise any and all rights and power incident to the ownership of such securities and which, as the owner thereof, the Corporation might have exercised and possessed.

The determination of whether an individual has a Disability shall be determined under procedures established by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan, “Disability” means that the Participant is permanently and totally disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, and for purposes of an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall mean a “Disability” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

A Participant shall not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any vacation or sick time or otherwise approved paid time off in accordance with the Company or Subsidiary or Affiliate’s policy or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, a Subsidiary and/or Affiliate; provided that, with respect to an Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation and is subject to Section 409A of the Code, in order to settle such an Award as a result of a separation from service (including a termination of employment), whether or not a Participant has had a “separation from service” will be determined within the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Code. Neither services as a Director nor payment of a director’s fee by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Committee and in compliance with Section 409A of the Code to the extent necessary to exempt an Award from or comply with Section 409A of the Code.

Article 3.
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

3.1 Share Reserve / Number of Shares. Subject to Article 10, and the following sentence regarding the Evergreen Increase, the aggregate number of Shares that may initially be issued pursuant to Awards will not exceed ___[10%]____ Shares (the “Share Reserve”). In addition, the Share Reserve will automatically increase on February 1st of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten (10) years, beginning on February 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) February 1, 2032 (each, an “Evergreen Date”) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding on the January 31st immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date (the “Evergreen Increase”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to the Evergreen Date of a given year to provide that there will be no Evergreen Increase for such year, or that the Evergreen Increase for such year will be a lesser number of Shares than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. Following the Effective Date, no additional awards will be granted under any prior Appreciate Holdings, Inc. stock incentive plan (the “Prior Plan”); provided that, all awards granted under the Prior Plan will remain subject to the terms and conditions of, and continue to be governed by the Prior Plan.

6

(a) Share Reserve Counting. For clarity, the Share Reserve in this Section 3.1 is a limitation on the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan. Shares that are subject to Options and SARs shall be counted against the maximum limit set forth in this Section 3.1 as one (1) Share for every one (1) Share subject to such Options and SARs. Shares that are subject to Awards other than Options or SARs shall be counted against the maximum limit set forth in this Section 3.1 as two (2) Shares for every one (1) Share subject to such Awards. During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards.

(b) Shares Reissuable Under Plan. The Share Reissue is not a limit on the number of Awards that can be granted. To the extent that an Award terminates, expires, lapses for any reason, or is settled in cash, any Shares subject to the Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. Any Shares that again become available for the grant of Awards pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall be added back as one (1) Share for each Share being added back from Options and SARs and two (2) Shares for each Share being added back from an Award other than Options and SARs. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

(c) Shares Not Counted Against Share Pool Reserve. To the extent permitted by applicable law and/or any applicable stock exchange rule, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (“Substitute Awards”) shall not be counted against Shares available for grant pursuant to this Plan. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law and/or any applicable stock exchange rule in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any company with which the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for grants of Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares available for issuance under the Plan, and Shares subject to such Awards (which, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude Substitute Awards) may again become available for Awards under the Plan as provided under Section 3.1(c) above; provided, that, Awards using such available shares (or any Shares that again become available for issuance under the Plan under Section 3.1(c) above): (i) shall not be granted after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination; (ii) shall be made only to individuals who were not Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to such acquisition or combination; and (iii) shall otherwise be granted in compliance with applicable stock exchange listing standards. In addition, the payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash pursuant to any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

3.2 Incentive Stock Option Limit. Subject to the provisions of Section 10, the aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is ____[10%]___ shares.

3.3 Limitation on Compensation of Non-Employee Directors. The maximum number of Shares subject to Awards granted under this Plan or otherwise during any one year to any Non-Employee Director, taken together with any cash fees paid by the Company to such Non-Employee Director during such year for service on the Board, will not exceed U.S. $250,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).

3.4 Shares Distributed. Any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares, treasury Shares or Shares purchased on the open market.

7

Article 4.
ELIGIBILITY, PARTICIPATION, MINIMUM VESTING REQUIREMENTS, DIVIDENDS

4.1 Eligibility. Each Eligible Individual shall be eligible to be granted one or more Awards pursuant to the Plan. An Eligible Individual who is subject to taxation in the U.S. and who is a service provider to an Affiliate may be granted Awards under this Plan only if, with respect to the Affiliate, the Company qualifies as an “eligible issuer of service recipient stock” within the meaning of §1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (or any successor provision).

4.2 Participation. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from among all Eligible Individuals, those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. No Eligible Individual shall have any right to be granted an Award pursuant to this Plan and the grant of an Award to an Eligible Individual shall not imply any entitlement to receive future Awards.

4.3 Minimum Vesting Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.3, no portion of any Award may vest before the first anniversary of the date of grant. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence: (a) the Company may grant Awards with respect to up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of Shares reserved under Section 3.1 without regard to the minimum vesting period set forth in this Section 4.3; (b) the minimum vesting period set forth in this Section 4.3 shall not apply to Substitute Awards, Awards that may be settled only in cash, Shares delivered in lieu of fully-vested cash obligations, or Awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, that, the foregoing requirement does not apply to the Committee’s discretion to provide for, in the terms of the Award Agreement or otherwise, accelerated vesting or exercisability of any Award and/or waive any restrictions, conditions or limitations applicable to such Award, including in cases of a Participant’s Retirement, death, Disability or a Change in Control.

4.4 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. The Committee may provide that any Award (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) that relates to shares of Common Stock shall earn dividends or Dividend Equivalents; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may not provide for the current payment of dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding Award (or portion thereof) that has not vested. For any such Award, the Committee may provide only for the accrual of dividends or Dividend Equivalents that will not be payable to the Participant unless and until, and only to the extent that, the Award vests. Unless the Board otherwise approves, no dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid on Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

Article 5.
STOCK OPTIONS

5.1 General. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, that, subject to Section 5.2(b) hereof, the per Share exercise price for any Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (other than in the case of Substitute Awards).

8

(b) Time and Conditions of Exercise. Subject to Section 4.3, the Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part. The Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised.

(c) Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, potentially including the following methods: (i) cash or check, (ii) surrender of Shares (including withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Award) which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the Award shall be exercised, (iii) promissory note bearing interest at no less than such rate as shall then preclude the imputation of interest under the Code, (iv) other property acceptable to the Committee (including through the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale), (v) by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option shall be reduced by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate fair market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price (plus withholding taxes, if applicable) and any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price (and/or applicable withholding taxes) not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole Shares to be issued shall be paid by Participant in cash or other form of payment approved by the Committee, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. The Award Agreement will specify the methods of paying the exercise price available to Participants. The Committee shall also determine the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option, or continue any extension of credit with respect to the exercise price of an Option, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

(d) Expiration. Subject to Section 5.1(b) and Section 5.2(b) hereof and any extension approved by the Committee for a Participant that has been employed by the Company for five (5) or more than five (5) years, an Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(i) On the earlier of the date three months after the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates or service or the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement, except as otherwise provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) below;

(ii) On the earlier of the date one year after the date of the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates on account of death or Disability or the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. Upon the Participant’s Disability or death, any Options exercisable at the Participant’s Disability or death may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do so pursuant to the Participant’s last will and testament, or, if the Participant fails to make testamentary disposition of such Option or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the Option pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution; and

(iii) Immediately upon the date of the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for Cause.

9

(e) Transfer Restrictions. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Committee, no Shares acquired upon exercise of any Option by any officer of the Company may be sold, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred until at least six months have elapsed from (but excluding) the date that such Option was exercised.

(f) Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may be specified by the Committee.

5.2 Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Employees of the Company or of any Subsidiary that qualifies as a “subsidiary corporation” under Section 424(f) of the Code and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, and the terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan, in addition to the requirements of Section 5.1 hereof, must comply with the provisions of this Section 5.2.

(a) Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options.

(b) Ten Percent Owners. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Shares of the Company only if such Option is granted at an exercise price that is not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more than five years from the date of grant.

(c) Notice of Disposition. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within (i) two years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant.

(d) Right to Exercise. During a Participant’s lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant.

(e) Failure to Meet Requirements. Any Option (or portion thereof) purported to be an Incentive Stock Option, which, for any reason, fails to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code shall be considered a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Further, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no dividends will be paid on Restricted Stock that has not vested; however, the Committee, in its discretion, may authorize the accrual of Dividend Equivalents on Restricted Stock.

6.4 Forfeiture. Subject to Section 4.3, except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment or service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may (a) provide in any Restricted Stock Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and (b) in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.

6.5 Certificates for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine.

Awards granted pursuant to the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

9.2 Award Agreement. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award which may include the term of an Award, additional provisions applicable in the event the Participant’s employment or service terminates, and the Company’s authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an Award.

9.3 Limits on Transfer. No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved from time to time by the Committee (or the Board in the case of Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors). The Committee by express provision in the Award or an amendment thereto may permit an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to certain persons or entities related to the Participant, including, but not limited to, members of the Participant’s family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participant’s family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons or entities as may be expressly approved by the Committee, pursuant to such conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes (or to a “blind trust” in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to assume a position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution) and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Section 9.3 or Section 9.4 below, no Award may be transferred for value or consideration.

14

9.4 Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 9.3 hereof, a Participant may, if permitted by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to either the person’s estate or legal representative or the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution (or equivalent laws outside the U.S.). Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

9.5 Stock Certificates; Book Entry Procedures.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded. All certificates evidencing Shares delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state or local securities or other laws, including laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States, and the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any certificate evidencing Shares to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

9.6 Accelerated Vesting and Deferral Limitations. The Committee shall not have the discretionary authority to accelerate or delay issuance of Shares or payment of cash under an Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, except to the extent that such acceleration or delay may, in the discretion of the Committee, be effected in a manner that will not cause any person to incur taxes, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

9.7 Paperless Administration. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

(i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 10.1 the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion;

(ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(i) either (A) termination of any such Award, whether or not vested, in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s vested rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if, as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 10.1, the Committee or the Board determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s vested rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without any payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion;

(ii) that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the grant or the exercise price of any Award.

(j) Interpret the terms of, and any matter arising pursuant to, the Plan or any Award Agreement; and

(k) Make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan.

11.5 Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Committee may from time to time (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions, including the authority to grant or amend Awards to Participants, as the Committee may determine, and (ii) delegate to any person or subcommittee (who may, but need not, be members of the Committee) such Plan-related administrative authority and responsibilities as it deems appropriate; provided, however, the Committee may not delegate its authority with respect to non-ministerial actions relating to Awards to Employees who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, provided it meets the limitation in the preceding sentence, this delegation shall include the right to modify Awards as necessary to accommodate changes in the laws or regulations. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Committee may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 11.5 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee.

Article 12.
PLAN EXPIRATION DATE

The Plan will continue in effect until it is terminated by the Board pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, except that no Award may be granted under the Plan from and after the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Any Awards that are outstanding on the date the Plan terminates shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

Article 13.
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

13.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination. Subject to Section 14.14 hereof, with the approval of the Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that (a) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required, and (b) stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment to the Plan that (i) increases the number of shares available under the Plan (other than any adjustment as provided by Article 10), or (ii) permits the Committee to extend the exercise period for an Option beyond ten years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, absent approval of the stockholders of the Company, no Option or SAR may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price of the shares subject to such Option or SAR below the per share exercise price as of the date the Option or SAR is granted and, except as permitted by Article 10, (a) no Option or SAR may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation, surrender or substitution of an Option or SAR having a higher per share exercise price and (b) no Option or SAR may be cancelled in exchange for, or in connection with, the payment of a cash amount or another Award at a time when the Option or SAR has a per share exercise price that is higher than the Fair Market Value of a Share.

13.2 Awards Previously Granted. Except with respect to amendments made or other actions taken pursuant to Section 14.14 hereof or any amendment or other action with respect to an outstanding Award that may be required or desirable to comply with applicable law, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant; provided, however, that an amendment or modification that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to become a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Participant.

19

Article 14.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

14.1 No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.

14.2 No Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award, including the right to vote or receive dividends, until the Participant becomes the record owner of such Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of an Option or other Award.

14.3 Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as appropriate, shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy U.S. federal, state and local taxes and taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the United States (including income tax, social insurance contributions, payment on account and any other taxes that may be due) that the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate determines are required to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as appropriate, to satisfy withholding obligations for the payment of taxes. The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement direct the Company to withhold, or allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold, Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld; the number of Shares so withheld may be determined using rates of up to, but not exceeding, the maximum federal, state, local and/or foreign statutory tax rates applicable in a particular jurisdiction on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. No Shares shall be delivered hereunder to any Participant or other person until the Participant or such other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of these tax obligations with respect to any taxable event concerning the Participant or such other person arising as a result of Awards made under this Plan.

14.4 No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

14.5 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

14.6 Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

20

14.7 Relationship to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, termination programs and/or indemnities or severance payments, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

14.8 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates.

14.9 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

14.10 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.

14.11 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

14.12 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Shares or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations of the United States and jurisdictions outside the United States, and to such approvals by government agencies, including government agencies in jurisdictions outside of the United States, in each case as may be required or as the Company deems necessary or advisable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares subject to Awards granted hereunder prior to: (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable, and (b) completion of any registration or other qualification with respect to the Shares under any applicable law in the United States or in a jurisdiction outside of the United States or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable or at a time when any such registration or qualification is not current, has been suspended or otherwise has ceased to be effective. The inability or impracticability of the Company to obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained and shall constitute circumstances in which the Committee may determine to amend or cancel Awards pertaining to such Shares, with or without consideration to the affected Participant. The Company shall be under no obligation to register pursuant to the Securities Act, as amended, any of the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan. If the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act, as amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such Shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

21

14.13 Governing Law. The internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the validity, construction and effect of the Plan and all Award Agreements, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreements.

14.14 Section 409A. Except as provided in Section 14.15 hereof, to the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date the Plan became effective. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the date an Award is granted the Committee determines that the Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the date the Plan became effective), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, including amendments or actions that would result in a reduction to the benefits payable under an Award, in each case, without the consent of the Participant, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section or mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A of the Code if compliance is not practical.

14.15 No Representations or Covenants with respect to Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to (a) qualify an Award for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States (e.g., incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code) or (b) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, anything to the contrary in this Plan, including Section 14.15 hereof, notwithstanding. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on holders of Awards under the Plan. Nothing in this Plan or in an Award Agreement shall provide a basis for any person to take any action against the Company or any Affiliate based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of any Awards, and neither the Company nor any Affiliate will have any liability under any circumstances to the Participant or any other party if the Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto.

14.16 Clawback/Recovery. All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other Applicable Laws. In addition, the Committee may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions on an Award as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate in view of Applicable Laws, governance requirements or best practices, including, but not limited to, a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired Shares or other cash or property upon the occurrence of cause (as determined by the Committee).

14.17 Provisions for Foreign Participants. The Committee may modify Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States or establish sub-plans or procedures under the Plan to recognize differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters.

2. Waiver of Anti-dilution Protection. Each Class B Shareholder hereby (a) waives, subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing (for himself, herself or itself and for his, her or its successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the Governing Documents of PTIC II (including pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Governing Documents of PTIC II and any other anti-dilution protections set forth therein) and (b) agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections (including pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Governing Documents of PTIC II and any other anti-dilution protections set forth therein) with respect to the rate that the PTIC II Class B Shares held by him, her or it convert into PTIC II Class A Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise. PTIC II hereby acknowledges and agrees to such waiver.

3. Transfer of Shares.  Except as expressly contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, with the prior written consent of the Company (such consent to be given or withheld in its sole discretion) or with respect to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the last sentence of this Section 3), from and after the date hereof until the earlier of the date of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Class B Shareholder hereby agrees that he, she or it shall not (a) directly or indirectly sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), place a lien on, pledge, mortgage or otherwise dispose of or otherwise encumber any of his, her or its Subject PTIC II Equity Securities (each, a “Transfer”), (b) deposit any of his, her or its Subject PTIC II Equity Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or execute any power of attorney with respect to any of his, her or its Subject PTIC II Equity Securities, in each case, that conflicts with any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or (c) enter into any Contract with respect to the Transfer of any of his, her or its Subject PTIC II Equity Securities.

(b)Each Class B Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon each Class B Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and but for each such Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, the Company would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents.

5.Class B Shareholder Representations and Warranties. Each Class B Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company as follows, solely with respect to such Class B Shareholder:

(a)Organization. If such Class B Shareholder is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (where applicable) under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Class B Shareholder’s corporate or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or organizational action on the part of the Class B Shareholder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (a) in no event shall any Insider have any obligations or Liabilities related to or arising out of the covenants, agreements or obligations of any other Insider under this Agreement (including related to or arising out of the breach of any such covenant, agreement or obligation by any other Insider) and (b) in no event shall PTIC II have any obligations or Liabilities related to or arising out of the covenants, agreements or obligations of any Insider under this Agreement (including related to or arising out of any breach of any such covenant, agreement or obligation by such Insider).

6

9. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (a) each Class B Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in such Class B Shareholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of Subject PTIC II Equity Securities, and not, as applicable, in such Class B Shareholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of PTIC II, (b) each other Insider (other than Daniel J. Hennessy) makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in such Insider’s capacity as an “insider” for purposes of the Insider Letter Agreement and not, as applicable, in such Insider’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of PTIC II and (c) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by any Insider or any other Person (including any representative of the Sponsor) serving as a member of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of PTIC II or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of PTIC II, in each case, acting in such Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of PTIC II.

10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 3 or Section 8, this Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever by reason this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall constitute the Parties, partners or participants in a joint venture.

11. Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform his, her or its respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

12. Fees and Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses; provided, that, any such fees and expenses incurred by the Insiders on or prior to the Effective Time shall, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, be allocated to PTIC II and deemed to be PTIC II Expenses.

13. No Ownership Interest.  Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to vest in the Company or any of its Affiliates or PTIC II or any its Affiliates any direct or indirect ownership or incidents of ownership of or with respect to the PTIC II Shares held by any Class B Shareholder. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the applicable PTIC II Class B Shares shall remain vested in and belong to each applicable Class B Shareholder, and the Company and PTIC II (and each of their respective Affiliates) shall have no authority to exercise any power or authority to direct any Insider in the voting of any of the PTIC II Class B Shares owned by him, her or it (if any), except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to the PTIC II Class B Shares owned by him, her or it (if any). Except as otherwise set forth in Section 1(a), no Class B Shareholder shall be restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any other matters presented to the PTIC II Shareholders.

7

14. Amendments and Waivers; Assignment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified if, and only if, such amendment or modification is in writing and signed by the Parties, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived if, and only if, such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party(ies) against whom such waiver is sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Subject to Section 10, none of this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assignable by (a) an Insider without the prior written consent of PTIC II and the Company, (b) the Company without the prior written consent of the Sponsor and PTIC II or (c) PTIC II without the prior written consent of the Sponsor and the Company. Any attempted amendment or assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with the terms of this Section 14 shall be null and void ab initio.

15. Notices. Any notice, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be sent in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given by delivery in person, by email (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof (i.e., an electronic record of the sender that the email was sent to the intended recipient thereof without an “error” or similar message that such email was not received by such intended recipient)), or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) (upon receipt thereof) to the other Parties as follows:

COMPANY UNITHOLDER TRANSACTION SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This COMPANY UNITHOLDER TRANSACTION SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 17, 2022, by and among PropTech Investment Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (“PTIC II”), RW National Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and the party listed on the signature pages hereto as a “Unitholder” (the “Unitholder”). Each of PTIC II, the Company and the Unitholder are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Business Combination Agreement (defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, PTIC II, the Company and Lake Street Landlords, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in its capacity as the representative of the Rolling Company Unitholders (as that term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement) entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, (a) immediately prior to the Closing, PTIC II will consummate the PTIC II Pre-Closing Reorganization, including the formation of Appreciate Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NewCo LLC”), and (b) following the consummation of the PTIC II Pre-Closing Reorganization, on the Closing Date, the Company and PTIC II will effect a business combination pursuant to which the Company will become a Subsidiary of PTIC II, and each Company Unit (including the Subject Company Units (as defined below)) will be contributed to NewCo LLC in exchange for certain NewCo LLC Class B Units and certain PTIC II Class B Shares, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Unitholder is the record and beneficial owner of, and is entitled to dispose of and vote, the number and class or series (as applicable) of Equity Securities of the Company set forth on Schedule A hereto (together with any other Equity Securities of the Company or NewCo LLC that the Unitholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of after the date hereof (including by purchase, as a result of transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents, a share dividend, share split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange or change of such shares, or upon exercise or conversion of any securities), collectively, the “Subject Company Units”);

WHEREAS, in consideration for the benefits to be received directly or indirectly by the Unitholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents and as a material inducement to PTIC II and the Company agreeing to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents, the Unitholder agrees to enter into this Agreement and to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that PTIC II and the Company would not have entered into the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents without the Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Company Unitholder Consent and Related Matters.

(a)The Unitholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to vote (or cause to be voted, as applicable) the Subject Company Units in favor of and/or consent to or approve, as applicable, any and all of the matters, actions and proposals contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Unitholder from exercising full power and authority to vote the Subject Company Units in the Unitholder’s sole discretion for or against, and the proxy granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not cover, any proposal submitted to a vote of the Unitholders of the Company (i) that decreases the amount or adversely modifies the form of the consideration payable to Unitholders or (ii) that imposes any material restrictions or additional conditions on the consummation of the transaction contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), not contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Excluded Voting Matters”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing (A) to the extent that it is necessary or advisable, in each case, as reasonably determined by PTIC II, for any matters, actions or proposals to be approved by the Unitholders in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents, the Unitholders shall (1) vote (or cause to be voted, as applicable) the Subject Company Units in favor of or consent to or approve any such matters, actions or proposals promptly following written request thereof from the Company, as applicable and (2) if applicable, cause the Subject Company Units to be counted as present at any meeting of the Unitholders for purposes of constituting a quorum in connection with any vote contemplated by clause (1) and (B) the Unitholder shall vote (or cause to be voted, as applicable) the Subject Company Units against and withhold consent or approval with respect to (1) any Acquisition Proposal, (2) any proposals which are in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document, (3) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the Governing Documents of the Company, except to the extent expressly permitted under the Business Combination Agreement or approved by PTIC II in writing, (4) any liquidation, dissolution or other change in the Company’s corporate structure or business or (5) any other matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (x) a breach of any of the Company’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document or (y) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied.

(b)Without limiting any other rights or remedies of PTIC II or the Company, the Unitholder hereby irrevocably appoints the Company or any individual designated by the Company as the Unitholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Unitholder (i) to attend on behalf of the Unitholder any meeting of the Company Unitholders with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), (ii) to include the Subject Company Units in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Company Unitholders and (iii) to vote (or cause to be voted, as applicable) the Subject Company Units or consent or approve (or withhold consent or approval, as applicable) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1(a) in connection with any meeting of the Company Unitholders, any action by written consent or any other approval by the Company Unitholders, in each case, in the event that (A) the Unitholder fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a), (B) any Proceeding is pending or threatened by or on behalf of the Unitholder or the Company that challenges or could impair the enforceability or validity of the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in this Agreement or (C) the Company notifies the Unitholder of its intent to exercise the proxy set forth in this Section 1(b); provided, that PTIC II shall have the right to require the Company to exercise any and all of its rights under such irrevocable proxy to vote the Subject Company Units, on behalf of the Unitholder, in favor of the Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which the Company or NewCo LLC is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents.

2

(c)The proxy granted by the Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for the Company entering into the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents. The proxy granted by the Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the divorce, bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by the Unitholder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Unitholder with respect to the Subject Company Units. The vote, consent or approval by the proxyholder with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a) shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote, consent or approval (or withholding of consent or approval, as applicable) by the proxyholder of the Subject Company Units and a vote, consent or approval (or withholding of consent or approval, as applicable) by the Unitholder of the Subject Company Units (or any other Person with the power to vote or provide consent or approval (or withhold consent or approval, as applicable) with respect to the Subject Company Units) with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(b) on any matter except for those matters described in Section 1(a). The proxy granted by the Unitholder pursuant to Section 1(b) shall be valid for the duration of this Agreement.

2. Other Covenants and Agreements.

(a)The Unitholder hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality and Access to Information) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if the Unitholder is directly party thereto and (ii) Section 5.2 (Efforts to Consummate; Litigation), the first sentence of Section 5.5(a) (Exclusive Dealing) and Section 9.19 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Company, as if the Unitholder is directly party thereto.

(b)The Unitholder hereby agrees to promptly execute and deliver all additional agreements, documents or instruments, take, or cause to be taken, all actions and provide, or cause to be provided, all additional information or other materials as may be necessary or advisable, in each case, as reasonably determined by PTIC II, in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents.

(c)The Unitholder herby agrees (i) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable Law (if any) at any time with respect to the Business Combination Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) not to commence or bring in any claim challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement or Ancillary Documents. 

3

(d)The Unitholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that each of PTIC II and the Company is entering into the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is or will be a party, in reliance upon the Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and, but for the Unitholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, each of PTIC II and the Company would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents to which it is or will be a party.

3. Unitholder Representations and Warranties. The Unitholder represents and warrants to PTIC II and the Company as follows:

(a)If the Unitholder is not an individual, the Unitholder is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other applicable business entity duly organized or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof, if applicable, in each case, with respect to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation or organization (as applicable).

(b)If the Unitholder is not an individual, the Unitholder has the requisite corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership or other similar power and authority and, if the Unitholder is an individual, the Unitholder has the legal capacity, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his, her or its covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement), and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate (or other similar) action on the part of the Unitholder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Unitholder and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Unitholder (assuming that this Agreement is duly authorized, executed and delivered by PTIC II and the Company), enforceable against the Unitholder in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity).

(c)No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required on the part of the Unitholder with respect to the Unitholder’s execution, delivery or performance of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Business Combination Agreement, except for any consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations, waivers or filings, the absence of which would not adversely affect the ability of the Unitholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect.

(d)None of the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the Unitholder, the performance by the Unitholder of any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, directly or indirectly (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) (i) if the Unitholder is not an individual, result in any breach of any provision of the Unitholder’s Governing Documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination, Consent, cancellation, amendment, modification, suspension, revocation or acceleration under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which the Unitholder is a party, (iii) violate, or constitute a breach under, any Order or applicable Law to which the Unitholder or any of his, her or its properties or assets are subject or bound or (iv) result in the creation of any Lien upon the Subject Company Units, except, in the case of any of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, as would not adversely affect the ability of the Unitholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect.

4

(e)The Unitholder is (or in respect of NewCo LLC Units, will be) the recorded and beneficial owner of the Subject Company Units and has valid, good and marketable title to the Subject Company Units, free and clear of all Liens (other than transfer restrictions under applicable Securities Law or under the Company LLC Agreement and NewCo LLC Agreement (as shall subsequently be amended and restated in the form of the Amended and Restated NewCo LLC Agreement)).

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.1 Shelf Registration.

(a) Filing. PubCo shall file, within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), or if PubCo is ineligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf” and, together with the Form S-3 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration), the “Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing. The Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. PubCo shall maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event PubCo files a Form S-1 Shelf, PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after PubCo is eligible to use Form S-3.

(b) Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while there are any Registrable Securities outstanding, PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional Registration Statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all outstanding Registrable Securities from time to time, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if PubCo is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that PubCo is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, PubCo, upon request of a Holder, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at PubCo’s option, the Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement.

(c) Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time after the Shelf has been declared effective by the SEC, the Holders, may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that PubCo shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering (i) shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $20,000,000 (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”) or (ii) shall be made with respect to all of the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holder and provided further that, PubCo shall not be obligated to effect more than three (3) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns in any twelve (12) month period. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to PubCo, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that each Holder agrees that the fact that such a notice has been delivered shall constitute Confidential Information subject to Section 4.14. PubCo shall give written notice of such request to all Holders of Registrable Securities promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown) and shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities request to be included by any holder at least 48 hours prior to public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such Holder included herein. The Holders that requested such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Demanding Holders”) holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one (1) or more reputable nationally or regionally recognized investment banks), and to agree to the pricing and other terms of such offering; provided that such selection shall be subject to the consent of PubCo, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, in no event shall any Holder or any Transferee thereof request an Underwritten Shelf Takedown during the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Person. There shall be no limit to the number of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns that may be requested by any Holder, subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 2.1(c).

(d) Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise PubCo, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that PubCo desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights held by any other stockholders of PubCo, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of Equity Securities that can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then PubCo shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: at all times (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that PubCo desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities of other Persons that PubCo is obligated to include in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(e) Withdrawal. Any of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of such Demanding Holder’s intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, prior to the public announcement of the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by PubCo; provided that a Holder not so withdrawing may elect to have PubCo continue such Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied or if such Underwritten Shelf Takedown would be made with respect to all of the Registrable Securities of such Holder. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, PubCo shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, PubCo shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to delivery of a Withdrawal Notice under this Section 2.1(e).

(f) Long-Form Demands. Upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Person, and during such times as no Shelf is effective, each Holder may demand that PubCo file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the purpose of conducting an Underwritten Offering of any or all of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities. PubCo shall file such Registration Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of such demand and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to be declared effective within seventy-five (75) days of filing. The provisions of Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.1(e) shall apply to this Section 2.1(f) as if a demand under this Section 2.1(f) were an Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that in order to withdraw a demand under this Section 2.1(f), such withdrawal must be received by PubCo prior to PubCo having publicly filed a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1(f).

Section 2.2 Piggyback Registration.

(a) Piggyback Rights. If PubCo or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if PubCo proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of, Equity Securities of PubCo or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Equity Securities of PubCo, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of PubCo (or by PubCo and by the stockholders of PubCo, including an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan or SEC Rule 145 transaction, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to PubCo’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into Equity Securities of PubCo, (iv) for the committed equity line pursuant to the Cantor Common Stock Purchase Agreement, or (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then PubCo shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all Holders as soon as practicable but not less than four (4) calendar days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the launch date of such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any and if known, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within three (3) calendar days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”); provided that each Holder hereby agrees that the fact that such a notice has been delivered shall constitute Confidential Information subject to Section 4.14. PubCo shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of PubCo included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to abide by the terms of Section 2.6.

(b) Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration (other than an Underwritten Shelf Takedown), in good faith, advises PubCo and the Holders participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that PubCo desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holders hereunder and (ii) the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(i) if the Registration is initiated and undertaken for PubCo’s account, PubCo shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that PubCo desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration), which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of PubCo, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; or

10

(ii) if the Registration is pursuant to a request by Persons other than the Holders, then PubCo shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, of such requesting Persons, other than the Holders, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration), which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that PubCo desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, for the account of other Persons that PubCo is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights of such Persons, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2(b), in the event a Demanding Holder has submitted notice for a bona fide Underwritten Shelf Takedown and all sales pursuant to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1 have not been effected in accordance with the applicable plan of distribution or submitted a Withdrawal Notice prior to such time that PubCo has given written notice of a Piggyback Registration to all Holders pursuant to Section 2.2, then any reduction in the number of Registrable Securities to be offered in such offering shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.1(d), instead of this Section 2.2(b).

(c) Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of such Holder’s intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. PubCo (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the SEC in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Investor Rights Agreement, PubCo shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2(c).

Section 2.6 Requirements for Participating in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, if any Holder does not provide PubCo with its requested Holder Information, PubCo may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if PubCo determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the Registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering of Equity Securities of PubCo pursuant to a Registration under this Investor Rights Agreement unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting and other arrangements approved by PubCo in the case of an Underwritten Offering initiated by PubCo, and approved by the Demanding Holders in the case of an Underwritten Offering initiated by the Demanding Holders and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Subject to the minimum thresholds set forth in Section 2.1(c) and 2.4(o), the exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 2.6 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

Section 2.7 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from PubCo that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (and PubCo hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after giving such notice), or until it is advised in writing by PubCo that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If (1) the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require PubCo to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to PubCo for reasons beyond PubCo’s reasonable control or (2) PubCo determines that the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by PubCo or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, financing or other transaction involving PubCo, PubCo may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than 90 days in any 12-month period, determined in good faith by PubCo to be necessary for such purpose. In the event PubCo exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to such Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. PubCo shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.7.

Section 2.8 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, PubCo, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by PubCo after the Effective Date pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the SEC pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished to the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.8.

Section 2.9 Other Obligations. In connection with a Transfer of Registrable Securities exempt from Section 5 of the Securities Act, pursuant to SEC Rule 144 or through any broker-dealer transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within the Prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such Prospectus forms a part, PubCo shall, subject to applicable Law, as interpreted by PubCo with the advice of counsel, and the receipt of any customary documentation required from the applicable Holders in connection therewith, (a) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Registrable Securities being Transferred and (b) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under clause (a). In addition, PubCo shall cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders in connection with, the aforementioned Transfers; provided, however, that PubCo shall have no obligation to participate in any “road shows” or assist with the preparation of any offering memoranda or related documentation with respect to any Transfer of Registrable Securities in any transaction that does not constitute an Underwritten Offering.

Section 2.10 Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) PubCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers, managers, directors, employees, trustees, equityholders, beneficiaries, affiliates, agents and Representatives and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) (or actions in respect thereto) caused by, resulting from, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or similar document incident to any Registration, qualification, compliance or sale effected pursuant to this Article II or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by PubCo of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities Laws, and will reimburse, as incurred, each such Holder, its officers, managers, directors, trustees, equityholders, beneficiaries, affiliates, agents and Representatives and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred and documented in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense; provided that PubCo will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense are caused by, arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance and in conformity with written information furnished to PubCo by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. PubCo shall indemnify each Underwriter, its respective officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing sentence with respect to the indemnification of each Holder.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to PubCo in writing such information and affidavits as PubCo reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by Law, such Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless PubCo, its officers, managers, directors, employees, trustees, equityholders, beneficiaries, affiliates, agents and Representatives and each Person who controls PubCo (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of, resulting from or based on any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or similar document or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify each Underwriter, its officers, directors and each Person who controls such Underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing sentence with respect to indemnification of PubCo.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.10 shall (i) give prompt written notice, after such Person has actual knowledge thereof, to the indemnifying party of any claim, proceeding or litigation with respect to which such Person seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim, proceeding or litigation) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the indemnified party may participate in such defense at the indemnifying party’s expense if representation of such indemnified party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. An indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim, proceeding or litigation, without the consent of each indemnified party, may only consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) includes as a term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include any recovery (including any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party) other than monetary damages; provided that any sums payable in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the indemnifying party.

15

(d) The indemnification provided under this Investor Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, manager, director, Representative or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of securities.

(e) If the indemnification provided in this Section 2.10 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 2.10(e) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a Party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.10(a), 2.10(b) and 2.10(c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred and documented by such Party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.10(e). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 2.11 Other Registration Rights. Other than the registration rights set forth in the Original RRA and Cantor Registration Rights Agreement, PubCo represents and warrants that no Person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Investor Rights Agreement, has any right to require PubCo to register any securities of PubCo for sale or to include such securities of PubCo in any Registration Statement filed by PubCo for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other Person. Further, each of PubCo, the Sponsor and the Sponsor Principals represents and warrants that this Investor Rights Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement (including the Original RRA), other than the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 2.12 SEC Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144, PubCo covenants that it will (a) make available at all times information necessary to comply with SEC Rule 144, if SEC Rule 144 is available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and (b) take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable them to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by SEC Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities), as such rule may be amended from time to time, or otherwise. Upon the request of any Holder, PubCo will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether PubCo has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance.

Section 2.13 Term. This Article II shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 2.10 shall survive any such termination with respect to such Holder.

Section 2.14 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing by PubCo, to represent to PubCo the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for PubCo to make determinations under this Investor Rights Agreement, including for purposes of Section 2.12. Other than the Sellers and the Founder Holders, a Party who does not hold Registrable Securities as of the Closing Date and who acquires Registrable Securities after the Closing Date will not be a “Holder” until such Party gives PubCo a representation in writing of the number of Registrable Securities it holds.

16

Section 2.15 Termination of Original RRA. Upon the Closing, PubCo, the Sponsor and the Sponsor Principals hereby agree that the Original RRA and all of the respective rights and obligations of the parties thereunder are hereby terminated in their entirety and shall be of no further force or effect.

Section 2.16 Distributions; Direct Ownership.

(a) In the event that, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.2, the Sponsor distributes all of its Registrable Securities to its equityholders, limited partners and members of its general partner (the “Sponsor Members”), the Sponsor Members shall be treated as the Sponsor under this Investor Rights Agreement; provided that the Sponsor Members, taken as a whole, shall not be entitled to rights in excess of those conferred on the Sponsor, as if the Sponsor remained a single entity party to this Investor Rights Agreement.

(b) In the event that a Seller distributes all of its Registrable Securities to its equityholders, such equityholders shall be treated as a Seller under this Investor Rights Agreement; provided that such equityholders, taken as a whole, shall not be entitled to rights in excess of those conferred on a Seller, as if such Seller remained a single party to this Investor Rights Agreement.

(c) Except as set forth in (a) and (b) immediately above, no distribution for purposes of this Section 2.16 may occur prior to the conclusion of any Lock-Up Period applicable to the Sponsors, such Other Holder or such Seller, as applicable.

Section 2.17 Adjustments. If there are any changes in the shares of Common Stock as a result of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, recapitalization or other similar event, equitable adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Investor Rights Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations under this Investor Rights Agreement shall continue with respect to the shares of Common Stock as so changed.

ARTICLE III
LOCK-UP

Section 3.1 Lock-Up.

(a) Each Holder severally, and not jointly, agrees with PubCo not to effect any Transfer, or make a public announcement of any intention to effect such Transfer, of any Lock-Up Shares Beneficially Owned or otherwise held by such Holder during the Lock-Up Period; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Transfers (i) permitted pursuant to Section 3.2 or (ii) permitted pursuant to Article II (other than Section 2.9). The “Lock-Up Period” with respect to the Lock-Up Shares of each Holder shall be the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date. “Lock-Up Shares” means the Equity Securities of PubCo and NewCo LLC held by the Holders, directly or indirectly, as of the Closing Date; provided that in no event shall the securities held by St. Cloud Capital Partners III SBIC, L.P. or the Warrants (or any shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exercise of any Warrant) be considered “Lock-Up Shares.”

(b) During the Lock-Up Period, any purported Transfer of Lock-Up Shares other than in accordance with this Investor Rights Agreement shall be null and void, and PubCo shall refuse to recognize any such Transfer for any purpose; provided that the Sellers shall be permitted to exchange any Class B Company Units and shares of Class B Common Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock, which shall be considered “Lock-Up Shares.”

(c) The Holders acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, the Equity Securities of PubCo and NewCo LLC, in each case, Beneficially Owned by such Holder shall remain subject to any restrictions on Transfer under applicable securities Laws of any Governmental Entity, including all applicable holding periods under the Securities Act and other rules of the SEC.

17

Section 3.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, during the Lock-Up Period applicable to any Lock-Up Shares of a Holder, such Holder may Transfer, without the consent of PubCo, any of such Lock-Up Shares to (a) any of such Holder’s Permitted Transferees, upon prior written notice to PubCo or (b) (i) a charitable organization, upon prior written notice to PubCo, (ii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of Laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual, (iii) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (iv) as a distribution to limited partners, members or stockholders of such Holder; (v) to a nominee or custodian of a Person to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clause (ii); (vi) pursuant to any liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of PubCo’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Business Combination; (vii) pledges of Lock-Up Shares as security or collateral in connection with a borrowing or the incurrence of any indebtedness by the Holder, provided, however, that such borrowing or incurrence of indebtedness is secured by either a portfolio of assets or equity interests issued by multiple issuers; (viii) pursuant to an order or decree of a governmental authority; (ix) from an employee to PubCo or its Subsidiary upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such employee; (x) transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, stock sale, recapitalization, consolidation or other transaction involving a change of control of PubCo (including negotiating and entering into an agreement providing for any such transaction) that have been approved by the Board; provided, however, that in the event that such tender offer, merger, recapitalization, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Lock-Up Shares subject to this Agreement shall remain subject to this Agreement; (xi) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period; or (xii) to PubCo (a) pursuant to the exercise of any option to purchase Common Stock granted by PubCo pursuant to any employee benefit plans or arrangements (including any employee benefit plans or arrangements assumed in connection with the Merger), or (b) for the purpose of satisfying any withholding taxes (including estimated taxes) due as a result of the exercise of any option to purchase Common Stock or the vesting of any stock-based awards granted by PubCo pursuant to employee benefit plans or arrangements (including any employee benefit plans or arrangements assumed in connection with the Merger); provided that in connection with any Transfer of such Lock-Up Shares pursuant to clause (b)(ii) or clause (b)(iii), (A) the restrictions and obligations contained in Section 3.1 and this Section 3.2 will continue to apply to such Lock-Up Shares after any Transfer of such Lock-Up Shares and (B) the Transferee of such Lock-Up Shares shall have no rights under this Investor Rights Agreement, unless, for the avoidance of doubt, such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee in accordance with this Investor Rights Agreement. Any Transferee of Lock-Up Shares that is a Permitted Transferee of the Transferor shall be required, at the time of and as a condition to such Transfer, to become a party to this Investor Rights Agreement, by executing and delivering a joinder, substantially in the form attached to this Investor Rights Agreement as Exhibit A, whereupon such Transferee will be treated as a Party (with the same rights and obligations as the Transferor) for all purposes of this Investor Rights Agreement.

ARTICLE IV
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 4.1 Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Investor Rights Agreement, and other than assignments in connection with a distribution pursuant to Section 2.16, this Investor Rights Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part by any party (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of Lake Street, in the case of an assignment by a Founder Holder, or the Sponsor, in the case of an assignment by a Seller. Any such assignee may not again assign those rights, other than in accordance with this Article IV. Any attempted assignment not in accordance with the terms of this Article IV shall be void, ab initio.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement (other than the succeeding sentence of this Section 4.1(b)), (i) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period with respect to any Lock-Up Shares of a Holder, such Holder may not Transfer such Holder’s rights or obligations under this Investor Rights Agreement in connection with a Transfer of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, in whole or in part, except in connection with a Transfer pursuant to Section 3.2, and (ii) after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period with respect to such Lock-Up Shares, such Holder may Transfer such Holder’s rights or obligations under this Investor Rights Agreement in connection with a Transfer of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, in whole or in part, to (A) any of such Holder’s Permitted Transferees or (B) any Person with the prior written consent of PubCo. Any Transferee of Registrable Securities (other than pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or a SEC Rule 144 transaction) pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall be required, at the time of and as a condition to such Transfer, to become a party to this Investor Rights Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder, substantially in the form attached to this Investor Rights Agreement as Exhibit A, whereupon such Transferee will be treated as a Party (with the same rights and obligations as the Transferor) for all purposes of this Investor Rights Agreement. No Transfer of Registrable Securities by a Holder shall be registered on PubCo’s books and records, and such Transfer of Registrable Securities shall be null and void and not otherwise effective, unless any such Transfer is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Investor Rights Agreement, and PubCo is hereby authorized by all of the Holders to enter appropriate stop transfer notations on its transfer records to give effect to this Investor Rights Agreement.

18

(c) All of the terms and provisions of this Investor Rights Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and representatives, but shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of any Party only to the extent that they are permitted successors, assigns, heirs and representatives pursuant to the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement.

(d) Nothing in this Investor Rights Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Party, other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs and representatives, any rights or remedies under this Investor Rights Agreement or otherwise create any third party beneficiary hereto.

Section 4.2 Termination. Article II of this Investor Rights Agreement shall terminate as set forth in Section 2.13. The remainder of this Investor Rights Agreement shall terminate automatically (without any action by any Party) as to each Holder when such Holder ceases to Beneficially Own any Registrable Securities; provided that the provisions of Section 2.10 shall survive any such termination with respect to such Holder.

Section 4.3 Severability. If any provision of this Investor Rights Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any Governmental Entity, the remaining provisions of this Investor Rights Agreement, to the extent permitted by Law shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 4.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments; No Waiver.

(a) This Investor Rights Agreement, together with Exhibits to this Investor Rights Agreement, the BCA, the Amended and Restated NewCo LLC Agreement, the Company LLC Agreement, and all other Ancillary Documents, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter set forth in this Investor Rights Agreement and therein.

(b) No provision of this Investor Rights Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part at any time without the express written consent of (i) PubCo, (ii) for so long as the Sellers and their Permitted Transferees collectively Beneficially Own ten percent (10%) or more of the voting power of the stock of PubCo held by the Sellers immediately after the Closing, Lake Street, (iii) for so long as the Sponsor and its Permitted Transferees collectively Beneficially Own Class A Common Stock representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor immediately after the Closing, the Sponsor, and (iv) in any event at least the Holders holding in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders; provided that any such amendment or modification that would be materially adverse in any respect to any Holder shall require the prior written consent of such Holder; provided, further that a provision that has terminated with respect to a Party shall not require any consent of such Party (and such Party’s Class A Common Stock shall not be considered in computing any percentages) with respect to amending or modifying such provision.

(c) No waiver of any provision or default under, nor consent to any exception to, the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party to be bound and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so provided; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no waiver of any provision or default under, nor consent to any exception to, the terms and provisions of Article III shall be effective unless in writing and signed by each of (i) PubCo, (ii) for so long as the Sellers and their Permitted Transferees collectively Beneficially Own ten percent (10%) or more of the voting power of the stock of PubCo held by the Sellers immediately after the Closing, Lake Street, (iii) for so long as the Sponsor and its Permitted Transferees collectively Beneficially Own Class A Common Stock representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor immediately after the Closing, the Sponsor and (iv) at least the Holders holding, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders.

Section 4.9 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any state or federal court within the State of New York, New York County), for the purposes of any Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action (a) arising under this Investor Rights Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 4.10 Specific Performance. Each Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that, in the event any of the provisions hereof are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the Parties fail to comply with any of the obligations imposed on them by this Investor Rights Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Any such Party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at Law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond, and if any Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Investor Rights Agreement, none of the Parties shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at Law.

Section 4.11 Subsequent Acquisition of Shares. Any Equity Securities of PubCo or NewCo LLC acquired subsequent to the Effective Date by a Holder (including any Earn Out Shares) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Investor Rights Agreement and such Equity Securities shall be considered to be “Registrable Securities” and “Lock-Up Shares.”

Section 4.12 Legends. Each of the Holders acknowledges that (a) no Transfer, hypothecation or assignment of any Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by such Holder may be made except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities Laws and (b) PubCo shall (i) place customary restrictive legends on the certificates or book entries representing the Registrable Securities subject to this Investor Rights Agreement and (ii) remove such restrictive legends at the time the applicable Transfer and other restrictions contemplated thereby are no longer applicable to the Registrable Securities represented by such certificates or book entries.

Section 4.13 No Third Party Liabilities. This Investor Rights Agreement may only be enforced against the named Parties hereto. All claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to any of this Investor Rights Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Investor Rights Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Investor Rights Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Investor Rights Agreement), may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties hereto, as applicable, and no past, present or future direct or indirect director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, portfolio company in which any such Party or any of its investment fund Affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa), agent, attorney or representative of any Party (including any Person negotiating or executing this Investor Rights Agreement on behalf of a Party), unless a Party to this Investor Rights Agreement, shall have any liability or obligation with respect to this Investor Rights Agreement or with respect any claim or cause of action (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) that may arise out of or relate to this Investor Rights Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Investor Rights Agreement (including a representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Investor Rights Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Investor Rights Agreement).

Section 4.14 Confidential Information. Each of the Parties recognizes that it, or its Affiliates and Representatives, has acquired or will acquire Confidential Information the use or disclosure of which could cause PubCo substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at Law would be adequate. Accordingly, each of the Parties covenants and agrees with PubCo that it will not (and will cause its respective controlled Affiliates and Representatives not to) at any time, except with the prior written consent of PubCo, directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information known to it to any third party, unless (a) such information becomes known to the public through no fault of such Party, (b) disclosure is required by applicable Law or court of competent jurisdiction or requested by a Governmental Entity; provided that such Party promptly notifies PubCo of such requirement or request and takes commercially reasonable steps, at the sole cost and expense of PubCo, to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure, (c) such information was available or becomes available to such Party before, on or after the Effective Date, without restriction, from a source (other than PubCo) without any breach of duty to PubCo or (d) such information was independently developed by such Party or its Representatives without the use of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Investor Rights Agreement shall prohibit any Party from disclosing Confidential Information to any Affiliate, Representative, limited partner, member or shareholder of such Party; provided that such Person shall be bound by an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information and such Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 4.14 by any such Person. No Confidential Information shall be deemed to be provided to any Person, including any Affiliate of any Party, unless such Confidential Information is actually provided to such Person.

Section 4.15 Indemnification.

(a) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, PubCo agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each such Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents, Representatives, members and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such Persons’ rights under this Section 4.15) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to PubCo by such Holder expressly for use therein. PubCo shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.15(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of PubCo, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to PubCo in writing such information and affidavits as PubCo reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, indemnify PubCo, its directors and officers and agents and each Person who controls PubCo (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any other Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Registration, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of PubCo.

23

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. PubCo and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event PubCo’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

(e) If the indemnification provided under this Section 4.15 from the indemnifying party is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.15(e) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.15(a), Section 4.15(b) and Section 4.15(c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred and documented by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.15(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.15(e). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.15(e) from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Determination of Certain Realized Tax Benefit

Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to any of the Tax Attributes shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state income tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation, and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to any Tax Attribute (“TRA Portion”) and another portion that is not (“Non-TRA Portion”), such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology so that the amount of any Non-TRA Portion is deemed utilized, to the extent available, prior to the amount of any TRA Portion, to the extent available (with the TRA Portion being applied on a proportionate basis consistent with the provisions of Section 3.3). The parties agree that (A) the payments made pursuant to this TRA Agreement in respect of the Initial Sale, if any, or any Exchange are intended to be treated and shall be reported for all purposes, including Tax purposes, as additional contingent consideration to the applicable TRA Party for the Initial Sale or such Exchange, as applicable, that has the effect of creating additional Basis Adjustments (if any) to the Reference Assets in the Taxable Year of payment (excluding any portion of such payment treated as Imputed Interest) and (B) such additional Basis Adjustments shall be incorporated into the calculation for the Taxable Year of the applicable payment and into the calculations for subsequent Taxable Years.

Section 2.3 Procedures, Amendments.

(a) Procedure. Every time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to a TRA Party an applicable Schedule under this TRA Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b), and any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporate Taxpayer shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) deliver to such TRA Party and the TRA Party Representative supporting schedules and work papers, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer or as reasonably requested by such TRA Party (or the TRA Party Representative on behalf of one or more TRA Parties, including such TRA Party), providing reasonable detail regarding data and calculations that were relevant for purposes of preparing the Schedule and (y) allow the TRA Party Representative and its advisors reasonable access to the appropriate representatives of the Corporate Taxpayer (at no cost and expense of the TRA Parties, the TRA Party Representative, or any of its advisors). Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Corporate Taxpayer shall ensure that any Tax Benefit Schedule or Early Termination Schedule that is delivered to a TRA Party, along with any supporting schedules and work papers, provides a reasonably detailed presentation of the calculation of the Actual Tax Liability (the “with” calculation) and the Hypothetical Tax Liability (the “without” calculation) and identifies any material assumptions or operating procedures or principles that were used for purposes of such calculations. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days from the date on which all relevant TRA Parties and the TRA Party Representative have received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto under Section 7.1 unless the TRA Party Representative (i) prior to such date, gives the Corporate Taxpayer written notice of a material objection to such Schedule or amendment thereto made in good faith (“Objection Notice”), or (ii) provides a written waiver of its right to give an Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date such waiver is given by the TRA Party Representative. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in any Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after the TRA Party Representative gives the Corporate Taxpayer such Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative shall employ the reconciliation procedures described in Section 7.9 (the “Reconciliation Procedures”), in which case such Schedule or Amended Schedule shall become binding in accordance with Section 7.9.

11

(b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in the Schedule, including those identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided to a TRA Party, (iii) to comply with an Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or the Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or the Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year, or (vi) to adjust the Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this TRA Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”). The Corporate Taxpayer shall provide an Amended Schedule to each TRA Party and the TRA Party Representative when the Corporate Taxpayer delivers the Basis Schedule for the following Taxable Year or within thirty (30) calendar days after the occurrence of an event referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) of the preceding sentence, whichever is later. In the event a Schedule is amended after such Schedule becomes final pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or, if applicable, Section 7.9, (A) the Amended Schedule shall not be taken into account in calculating any Tax Benefit Payment in the Taxable Year to which the amendment relates but instead shall be taken into account in calculating the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit for the Taxable Year in which the amendment actually occurs, and (B) as a result of the foregoing, any increase of the Net Tax Benefit attributable to an Amended Schedule shall accrue the Interest Amount (or any other interest hereunder) from the due date (without extensions) for filing IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporate Taxpayer with respect to Covered Taxes for the Taxable Year in which the amendment actually occurs until the payment date applicable to such Taxable Year under Section 3.1(a).

Section 2.4 Section 754 Election. The Corporate Taxpayer and NewCo LLC shall ensure that, for each Taxable Year in which an Exchange occurs and each Taxable Year in which the Initial Sale, if any, occurs, and with respect to which the Corporate Taxpayer and/or NewCo LLC have obligations under this TRA Agreement, NewCo LLC and each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes will have in effect a valid election under Section 754 of the Code (and under any similar provisions of applicable U.S. state or local law) for each such Taxable Year.

Article III
Tax Benefit Payments

Section 3.1 Payments.

(a) Payments. Within five (5) Business Days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to a TRA Party becomes final in accordance with Section 2.3(a) or, if applicable, Section 7.9, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay such TRA Party for such Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment, if any, determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b) that is Attributable to such TRA Party. Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by such TRA Party to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party. The payments provided for pursuant to the above sentence shall be computed separately for each TRA Party. Without limiting the Corporate Taxpayer’s ability to make offsets against Tax Benefit Payments to the extent permitted by Section 3.5, no TRA Party shall be required under any circumstances to make a payment or return a payment to the Corporate Taxpayer in respect of any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously paid by the Corporate Taxpayer to such TRA Party (including any portion of any Early Termination Payment).

(b)For purposes of this TRA Agreement:

(i)A “Tax Benefit Payment” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of (i) the Net Tax Benefit that is Attributable to such TRA Party and (ii) the Interest Amount with respect thereto.

(ii) Subject to Section 3.3, the “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of eighty-five percent (85%) of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year, over the total amount of payments previously made under the first sentence of Section 3.1(a) (excluding payments attributable to Interest Amounts); provided, that if there is no such excess (or if a deficit exists), no TRA Party shall be required to make a payment (or return a payment) to the Corporate Taxpayer in respect of any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously paid by the Corporate Taxpayer to such TRA Party or with respect to such Taxable Year.

(iii) The “Interest Amount” shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporate Taxpayer with respect to Covered Taxes for the applicable Taxable Year until the payment date under Section 3.1(a); provided that such interest shall not accrue on the amount of any Net Tax Benefit after the date on which such amount is actually paid to the applicable TRA Party, regardless of whether such payment is made prior to the due date for such payment under Section 3.1(a) and regardless of whether the amount of any unpaid Net Tax Benefit has yet become final in accordance with Section 2.3(a) or, if applicable, Section 7.9.

13

Section 3.2 No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this TRA Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including of any Tax Benefit Payment, Realized Tax Benefit, or interest) required under this TRA Agreement and no determination of any Net Tax Benefit or Tax Benefit Payment with respect to a Taxable Year shall reflect a benefit from a Tax Attribute previously taken into account in a prior Taxable Year. It is also intended that the provisions of this TRA Agreement will result in 85% of the Corporate Taxpayer’s Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefits and the Interest Amount thereon being paid to the TRA Parties pursuant to this TRA Agreement. The provisions of this TRA Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner so that these fundamental results are achieved. For purposes of this TRA Agreement, and also for the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be required to be calculated or made in respect of any estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, any estimated U.S. federal, state or local income tax payments.

Section 3.3 Pro Rata Payments. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate Realized Tax Benefit of the Corporate Taxpayer with respect to the Tax Attributes is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient taxable income, the Net Tax Benefit for the Corporate Taxpayer shall be allocated among all parties eligible for Tax Benefit Payments under this TRA Agreement with respect to such Taxable Year in proportion to the amounts of Net Tax Benefit, respectively, that would have been Attributable to each TRA Party if the Corporate Taxpayer had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation.

Section 3.4 Payment Ordering. If for any reason the Corporate Taxpayer does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due under this TRA Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Parties agree that (i) Tax Benefit Payments for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to all parties eligible for Tax Benefit Payments with respect to such Taxable Year under this TRA Agreement in proportion to the amounts of Net Tax Benefit, respectively, that would have been Attributable to each TRA Party if the Corporate Taxpayer had sufficient cash available to make such Tax Benefit Payments and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payments shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments to all TRA Parties in respect of all prior Taxable Years have been made in full.

Section 3.5 Overpayments. To the extent the Corporate Taxpayer makes a payment to a TRA Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section 3.1(a) in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to such TRA Party in respect of such Taxable Year (taking into account Section 3.3 and Section 3.4) under the terms of this TRA Agreement, then (i) such TRA Party shall not receive further payments under Section 3.1(a) until such TRA Party has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (ii) to the extent such excess amount is due and payable to, and should have been paid to, any other TRA Party pursuant to the terms of this TRA Agreement, the Corporate Taxpayer will pay the amount of such TRA Party’s foregone payments to such other TRA Parties to whom a payment is due and payable, and should have been paid, under this TRA Agreement in a manner such that each such other TRA Party, to the extent possible, receives aggregate payments under Section 3.1(a) (taking into account Section 3.3 and Section 3.4) in the amount such other TRA Party would have received if there had been no excess payment to such TRA Party.

14

Article IV
Termination

Section 4.1 Early Termination of Agreement; Breach of Agreement.

(a) Corporate Taxpayer’s Early Termination Right. The Corporate Taxpayer may terminate this TRA Agreement (including with respect to all amounts payable to the TRA Parties and with respect to all of the Units held by the TRA Parties, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence) at any time by causing the Corporate Taxpayer to pay to each TRA Party the Early Termination Payment in respect of such TRA Party; provided, that the Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(b) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer, neither the Corporate Taxpayer nor the TRA Parties shall have any further payment obligations under this TRA Agreement, other than with respect to (i) any Tax Benefit Payments agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Parties Representative as due and payable and that remain unpaid as of the Early Termination Date (which Tax Benefit Payments must be paid out and shall not be included in the Early Termination Payments) and as of the date of payment of the Early Termination Payment and (ii) any Tax Benefit Payments due for the Taxable Year ending immediately prior to or including the Early Termination Date (except to the extent that the amounts described in this clause (ii) are included in the calculation of the Early Termination Payments (at the option of the Corporate Taxpayer) or are included in clause (i)); provided that upon payment of all amounts, to the extent applicable and without duplication, described in this sentence, this TRA Agreement shall terminate. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after the Corporate Taxpayer makes all of the required Early Termination Payments, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have no obligations under this TRA Agreement with respect to such Exchange.

(b) In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches any of its material obligations under this TRA Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this TRA Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include, but not be limited to, without duplication, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (2) any Tax Benefit Payments that are due and payable under this TRA Agreement but that remain unpaid as of the date of a breach, and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer breaches this TRA Agreement and this Section 4.1(b) applies, the TRA Parties shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2), and (3), above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this TRA Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this TRA Agreement for all purposes of this TRA Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this TRA Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this TRA Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this TRA Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of a material obligation under this TRA Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment or other payment due pursuant to this TRA Agreement when due to the extent that the Corporate Taxpayer has insufficient funds or cannot make such payment as a result of obligations imposed in connection with the Senior Obligations, and cannot take commercially reasonable actions to obtain sufficient funds, to make such payment; provided, that the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment unless the Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient funds to make such payment as a result of a limitation imposed by any Senior Obligations, in which case, Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate; provided, further, that such payment obligation shall nonetheless accrue for the benefit of the TRA Parties, and the Corporate Taxpayer shall make such payment at the first opportunity that it has sufficient funds and is otherwise able to make such payment.

15

Section 4.2 Early Termination Notice. If the Corporate Taxpayer choose to exercise its right of early termination in accordance with Section 4.1 above, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to each TRA Party and the TRA Party Representative written notice of such decision to exercise such right (an “Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (an “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporate Taxpayer’s decision to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment(s) due for each TRA Party. Each Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which all TRA Parties have been given such Schedule under Section 7.1 unless the TRA Party Representative (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after such date gives the Corporate Taxpayer written notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (a “Material Objection Notice”) or (ii) provides a written waiver of its right to give a Material Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date such waiver is given by the TRA Party Representative to the Corporate Taxpayer. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative, after negotiating in good faith, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such Material Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after the TRA Party Representative gives the Corporate Taxpayer the Material Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures in which case such Schedule shall become binding in accordance with Section 7.9. The TRA Party Representative will represent the interests of each of the TRA Parties and shall raise and pursue, in accordance with this Section 4.2, any objection to an Early Termination Schedule timely given in writing to the TRA Party Representative by a TRA Party.

Section 4.3 Payment upon Early Termination.

(a) Within five (5) Business Days after an Early Termination Effective Date, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to each TRA Party an amount equal to the Early Termination Payment in respect of such TRA Party. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by such TRA Party or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such TRA Party.

16

(b)“Early Termination Payment” in respect of a TRA Party shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of and starting from the applicable Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments (excluding any Interest Amount) in respect of such TRA Party that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer beginning from the Early Termination Date (but which have not been previously paid as of such date), and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions in respect of such TRA Party are applied and that each such Tax Benefit Payment for each relevant Taxable Year would be paid on the due date (including extensions) under applicable law as of the Early Termination Date for filing of IRS Form 1120 (or any successor form) of the Corporate Taxpayer for each such Taxable Year.

Article V
Subordination and Late Payments

Section 5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this TRA Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or any other payment required to be made by the Corporate Taxpayer to any TRA Party under this TRA Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Subsidiaries (the “Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Corporate Taxpayer that are not Senior Obligations.

Section 7.2 Counterparts. This TRA Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts and by fax, email or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement. No party shall raise the use of a fax machine, email, or other electronic transmission device or method to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a fax machine, email, or other electronic transmission device or method as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each party forever waives any such defense.

Section 7.3 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This TRA Agreement (together with all Exhibits and Schedules to this TRA Agreement), the Business Combination Agreement (together with the Disclosure Letters and Exhibits thereto), the Limited Liability Company Agreement, and the Confidentiality Agreement, contain the entire agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way. Nothing in this TRA Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this TRA Agreement.

Section 7.4 Governing Law. The law of the State of Delaware shall govern (a) all claims or matters related to or arising from this TRA Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (b) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this TRA Agreement, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this TRA Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict- of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

20

Section 7.5 Severability. If any provision of this TRA Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any governmental entity, all other provisions of this TRA Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this TRA Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 7.6 Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers.

(a)No TRA Party may assign all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this TRA Agreement to any Person without the prior written approval of the TRA Disinterested Majority, except that, to the extent that a TRA Party Transfers Units to any of such TRA Party’s Permitted Transferees in accordance with the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Transferring TRA Party shall have the option to assign, without the approval of the TRA Disinterested Majority, to the Transferee of such Units the Transferring TRA Party’s rights and obligations under this TRA Agreement with respect to such Transferred Units. As a condition to any such assignment, each Transferee which is a Permitted Transferee or approved by the TRA Disinterested Majority and the Corporate Taxpayer shall execute and deliver a joinder to this TRA Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, agreeing to become a TRA Party for all purposes of this TRA Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder. If a TRA Party Transfers Units in accordance with the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement but does not assign to the Transferee of such Units its rights and obligations under this TRA Agreement with respect to such Transferred Units, (i) such TRA Party shall remain a TRA Party under this TRA Agreement for all purposes, including with respect to the receipt of Tax Benefit Payments to the extent payable hereunder (including any Tax Benefit Payments in respect of the Initial Sale, if any, or of the Exchanges of such Transferred Units by such Transferee), and (ii) the Transferee of such Units shall not be a TRA Party. The Corporate Taxpayer may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this TRA Agreement to any Person (other than in connection with a Mandatory Assignment) without the prior written consent of the TRA Party Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any purported assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 7.6 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once the Initial Sale, if any, or any Exchange has occurred, any and all payments that may become payable to a TRA Party pursuant to this TRA Agreement with respect to such Initial Sale, if any, or such Exchange may be assigned to any Person or Persons, as long as any such Person has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such assignment, executes and delivers, a joinder to this TRA Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporate Taxpayer, agreeing to be bound by Section 7.12.

21

(b) No provision of this TRA Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by, (i) on the one hand, the Corporate Taxpayer, and (ii) on the other hand, the TRA Parties who would be entitled to receive at least two-thirds of the total amount of the Early Termination Payments payable to all TRA Parties under this TRA Agreement if the Corporate Taxpayer had exercised its right of early termination on the date of the most recent Exchange (or if no Exchange has occurred, the date of the Initial Sale, if any,) prior to such amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Party pursuant to this TRA Agreement since the date of such most recent Exchange); provided, that no such amendment shall be effective if such amendment will have a disproportionate effect on the payments one or more TRA Parties will be entitled to receive under this TRA Agreement unless such amendment is consented to in writing by each such TRA Partiy disproportionately affected. No provision of this TRA Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

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

The headings and captions used in this TRA Agreement and the table of contents to this TRA Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this TRA Agreement.

Section 7.8 Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction.

(a)THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS TRA AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS TRA AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS TRA AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(b)Subject to Section 7.9, each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any state or federal court within the State of New York, New York County) in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this TRA Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this TRA Agreement in any other courts. Nothing in this Section 7.8, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity.

Section 7.9 Reconciliation. In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the calculation of amounts owed pursuant to this TRA Agreement within the relevant period designated in this TRA Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert in the particular area of disagreement, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator (the “Expert”), mutually acceptable to the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative; provided that solely with respect to any disagreements regarding the computation of an Early Termination Payment that relates to the taxable income projections described in clause (i) of the definition of “Valuation Assumptions,” the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative shall each submit the Reconciliation Dispute for determination to an Expert in the area of valuation services mutually acceptable to the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm and, unless the Corporate Taxpayer, and the TRA Party Representative agree in writing otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with any party to this TRA Agreement or any Affiliate of any such parties or any other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, then the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative shall cause the Expert to be selected by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise in accordance with the criteria set forth above in this Section 7.9 and the Expert shall be subject to replacement by mutual agreement of the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto, the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto, or a Tax Benefit Schedule or any amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days or, in each case, as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this TRA Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The sum of (a) the costs and expenses relating to (i) the engagement (and, if applicable, selection by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise) of such Expert and (ii) if applicable, amending any Tax Return in connection with the decision of such Expert and (b) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Corporate Taxpayer and the TRA Party Representative incurred in the conduct of such proceeding shall be allocated between the Corporate Taxpayer, on the one hand, and the TRA Parties whose Tax Benefit Payments were the subject of the Resolution Dispute, on the other hand (and, in turn, among such TRA Parties in proportion to their respective unsuccessfully disputed items), in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items so submitted to the Expert that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Expert) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted, and each such party shall promptly reimburse the other party for the excess that such other party has paid in respect of such costs and expenses over the amount it has been so allocated. The Corporate Taxpayer may withhold payments under this TRA Agreement to collect amounts due under the preceding sentence on a TRA Party-by-TRA Pary basis. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.9 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and each of the TRA Parties whose Tax Benefit Payments were the subject of the Resolution Dispute and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

23

Section 7.10 Withholding. The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause there to be deducted and withheld from, any payment payable pursuant to this TRA Agreement such amounts as the Corporate Taxpayer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local, foreign or other tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this TRA Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was made or such payment was due and payable. Each TRA Party shall promptly provide the Corporate Taxpayer, NewCo LLC, or other applicable withholding agent with any applicable Tax forms and certifications (including IRS Form W-9 or the applicable version of IRS Form W-8) and any other related information necessary to enable the Corporate Taxpayer (or its applicable withholding agent) to determine whether any deduction or withholding is required under applicable law and to comply with any applicable reporting requirements or that are reasonably requested and shall promptly provide an update of any such Tax form or certificate previously delivered if the same has become incorrect or has expired and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Corporate Taxpayer (or its applicable withholding agent) for the entire amount of any such amounts as the Corporate Taxpayer (or its applicable withholding agent) is required to deduct and withhold.

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

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

(b)If any entity that is obligated to make any Tax Benefit Payment or any Early Termination Payment hereunder transfers one or more assets to a corporation with which such entity does not file a consolidated, combined, or unitary tax return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, or any corresponding provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Tax law, such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any such payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the contributed asset (as reasonably determined by the governing body, or the Person responsible for management, of such entity acting in good faith), plus, without duplication, (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a contribution of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership interest.

Section 7.12 Confidentiality.

(a)Subject to Section 6.3, each TRA Party acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this TRA Agreement in good faith, such person shall keep and retain in confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors or concerning NewCo and its Affiliates and successors learned by the TRA Party pursuant to this TRA Agreement. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made public by the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates or becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of the TRA Party in violation of this TRA Agreement) and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent reasonably necessary for the TRA Party to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any material action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this TRA Agreement, to the extent required by applicable law or to the extent reasonably necessary for the TRA Party to comply with any applicable reportable transaction requirements under applicable law, each TRA Party (and each employee, representative or other agent of the TRA Party, as applicable) may disclose the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Corporate Taxpayer, NewCo and their Affiliates, and any of their transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to the TRA Party relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure.

24

(b)If a TRA Party breaches any of the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Corporate Taxpayer shall have the right to seek to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(c)In no event shall this Section 7.12 limit any obligation of any party under the Limited Liability Company Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement.

Section 7.13 TRA Party Representative. By executing this TRA Agreement, each of the TRA Parties shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the TRA Party Representative as each TRA Party’s agent and attorney in fact with full power of substitution to act from and after the date hereof and to do any and all things and execute any and all documents on behalf of such TRA Parties which may be necessary, convenient or appropriate to facilitate any matters under this TRA Agreement, including: (i) execution of the documents and certificates required pursuant to this TRA Agreement; (ii) except to the extent provided in this TRA Agreement, receipt and forwarding of notices and communications pursuant to this TRA Agreement; (iii) administration of the provisions of this TRA Agreement; (iv) any and all consents, waivers, amendments or modifications deemed by the TRA Party Representative to be necessary or appropriate under this TRA Agreement and the execution or delivery of any documents that may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith; (v) taking actions the TRA Party Representative is authorized to take pursuant to the other provisions of this TRA Agreement; (vi) negotiating and compromising, on behalf of such TRA Parties, any dispute that may arise under, and exercising or refraining from exercising any remedies available under, this TRA Agreement and executing, on behalf of such TRA Parties, any settlement agreement, release or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy; and (vii) engaging attorneys, accountants, agents or consultants on behalf of such TRA Parties in connection with this TRA Agreement and paying any fees related thereto on behalf of such TRA Parties, subject to reimbursement by such TRA Parties. The TRA Parties shall promptly reimburse the TRA Party Representative for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the TRA Party Representative performing its duties hereunder. The TRA Party Representative may resign upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Corporate Taxpayer.

ARTICLE III
PURCHASE TERMS

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the parties agree as follows:

Section 3.1. VWAP Purchases. Upon the initial satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 (the “Commencement” and the date of initial satisfaction or waiver of all of such conditions, the “Commencement Date”) and from time to time thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its timely delivery to the Investor of a VWAP Purchase Notice, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, after 6:00 a.m., New York City time, but prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on a VWAP Purchase Date, to purchase a number of Shares equal to the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Amount, not to exceed the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, at the applicable VWAP Purchase Price therefor on such VWAP Purchase Date in accordance with this Agreement (each such purchase, a “VWAP Purchase”). In addition, the Investor may, in its sole discretion, accept a VWAP Purchase Notice after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on a VWAP Purchase Date, provided that such acceptance, once provided, shall be irrevocable and binding and the Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares that are the subject of such VWAP Purchase Notice shall be binding; provided that, if the Investor does not accept a VWAP Purchase Notice that is delivered after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, such VWAP Purchase Notice shall be deemed to be null and void. The Investor may also, in its sole discretion, accept additional VWAP Purchase Notices within a Trading Day, in which case any prior VWAP Purchase Notice accepted by the Investor in such Trading Day shall be null, void, superseded and replaced in its entirety by such subsequent VWAP Purchase Notice. The Company may timely deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor as often as every Trading Day (and may deliver multiple VWAP Purchase Notices in any given day, it being understood that a subsequent VWAP Purchase Notice will supersede and replace all earlier VWAP Purchase Notices delivered within the same Trading Day in their entirety), so long as (i) the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Trading Day is not less than the Threshold Price, and (ii) all Shares subject to all prior VWAP Purchases theretofore required to have been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares under this Agreement have been delivered to the Investor as DWAC Shares in accordance with this Agreement. The Investor is obligated to accept each VWAP Purchase Notice prepared and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Agreement. If the Company delivers any VWAP Purchase Notice directing the Investor to purchase a number of Shares that is in excess of the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, such VWAP Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the VWAP Purchase Share Amount set forth in such VWAP Purchase Notice exceeds such applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount, and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such Excess Shares in respect of such VWAP Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the applicable VWAP Purchase Maximum Amount in such VWAP Purchase. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in the case where the Sale Price falls below the Threshold Price during a Trading Day, the VWAP Purchase Amount shall be calculated using (i) the VWAP Purchase Share Percentage of the aggregate shares traded on the Principal Market for such portion of the VWAP Purchase Date the Sale Price is not below the Threshold Price and (ii) a VWAP Purchase Price calculated using the volume weighted average price of Common Stock sold during such portion of the VWAP Purchase Date the Sale Price is not below the Threshold Price. Each VWAP Purchase Notice must include a VWAP Purchase Share Estimate. Each VWAP Purchase Notice must be accompanied by irrevocable instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent to immediately issue and deliver to the Investor an amount of Common Stock equal to the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate. In no event shall the Investor purchase (or be deemed to have purchased), pursuant to any VWAP Purchase, a number of Shares constituting the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Amount that exceeds the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate issued on the VWAP Purchase Date in connection with such VWAP Purchase Notice; however, the Investor will promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to return to the Company any Shares issued pursuant to the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate that exceeds the number of Shares constituting the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Amount the Investor actually purchases in connection with such VWAP Purchase (such amount, the “Excess Shares”). Alternatively, if the Transfer Agent does not return the Excess Shares to the Company on the VWAP Purchase Date in accordance with the Investor’s instructions, or if otherwise instructed in writing by the Company, Investor may retain such Excess Shares (provided Investor will not be deemed to have purchased such Excess Shares), and such Excess Shares will be deemed pre-delivered Shares that will reduce the number of Shares required to be delivered by the Company in accordance with this section on the next VWAP Purchase Date in connection with the next VWAP Purchase Notice; provided however, that the Company shall have the right, upon delivery of written notice to the Investor at any time, to request that the Investor return all or a portion of such Excess Shares to the Company. At or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the VWAP Purchase Date for each VWAP Purchase, the Investor shall provide to the Company a written confirmation for such VWAP Purchase setting forth the applicable VWAP Purchase Price per Share to be paid by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase, and the total aggregate VWAP Purchase Price to be paid by the Investor for the total VWAP Purchase Share Amount purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver any VWAP Purchase Notices to the Investor during the Post-Effective Amendment Period.

Section 3.2. Settlement. For each VWAP Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase and (ii) the applicable VWAP Purchase Price for such Shares (the “VWAP Purchase Amount”), as full payment for such Shares purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase, via wire transfer of immediately available funds, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second (2nd) Trading Day following the applicable VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date for such VWAP Purchase, provided the Investor shall have timely received, as DWAC Shares, all of such Shares purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase on such VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.2. If the Investor fails to pay the VWAP Purchase Amount when due, the Investor will return the DWAC Shares to the Company. If the Company or the Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason, excluding failure of the Investor to set up a DWAC and required instructions, to deliver to the Investor, as DWAC Shares, any Shares purchased by the Investor in a VWAP Purchase prior to 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the date of the applicable VWAP Purchase Notice (the “Share Delivery Deadline”) for such VWAP Purchase, and if on or after such Trading Day the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company on such VWAP Purchase Share Delivery Date in respect of such VWAP Purchase, then the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day after the Investor’s request, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Cover Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Shares as DWAC Shares (and the Investor’s obligation to purchase such Shares from the Company) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Investor such Shares as DWAC Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cover Price over the total purchase price paid by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement for all of the Shares purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase; provided, however, that the Investor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase shares of Common Stock in respect of the Cover Price only in normal brokerage transactions at the prevailing price per share of Common Stock then available. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock to the Investor in connection with any VWAP Purchase effected pursuant to this Agreement. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments to be made by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice to the Investor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 3.3. Compliance with Rules of Principal Market.

(i) Exchange Cap. The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby would exceed 19.99% of the voting power or number of shares of Common Stock, calculated in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market), which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of the Principal Market (such maximum number of shares, the “Exchange Cap”), unless the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may, but shall be under no obligation to, request its stockholders to approve the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that if such stockholder approval is not obtained, the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at all times during the term of this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 3.3(ii)).

4

(ii) At-Market Transaction. Notwithstanding Section 3.3(i) above, the Exchange Cap shall not be applicable for any purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, solely to the extent that (and only for so long as) the Average Price shall equal or exceed the Base Price (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at all other times during the term of this Agreement, unless the stockholder approval referred to in Section 3.4(i) is obtained). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not deliver any VWAP Purchase Notice if the VWAP Purchase effected thereby would result in the Investor owning 19.99% of the voting power or number of shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock, in each case, calculated in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market.

(iii) General. The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if such issuance or sale would reasonably be expected to result in (a) a violation of the Securities Act or (b) a breach of the rules of the Principal Market. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall not be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.3 unless necessary to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable rules of the Principal Market.

Section 3.4. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue or sell, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its Affiliates (on an aggregated basis) of more than 4.99% of the outstanding voting power or shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next business day on which the Transfer Agent is open for business) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required under this Section 3.4 and the application of this Section 3.4. The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.4 unless necessary to properly give effect to the limitations contained in this Section 3.4.

5

Section 3.5. Suspension of Purchase Obligations. The Investor’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended immediately if, on the seventh (7th) Trading Day following the consummation of the Business Combination, the aggregate market value of the outstanding voting and non-voting common equity (as defined in Securities Act Rule 405), including shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock, of the Company issued or issuable (without giving effect to any lock-up) (collectively, the “Common Equity”), is less than $100 million (calculated by multiplying (x) the price at which the Common Stock of the Company closes on the Principal Market on such date by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Common Equity as of such date) as of that date, until such time as the aggregate market value of the Common Equity equals or exceeds $100 million (calculated by multiplying (x) the price at which the Common Stock of the Company closes on the Principal Market on a particular date by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Common Equity as of such date).

Subject to, and in reliance on, the representations, warranties and covenants made herein by the Investor, the offer and sale of the Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D; provided, however, that at the request of and with the express agreements of the Investor (including, without limitation, the representations, warranties and covenants of Investor set forth in Section 4.9 through 4.13), the Shares to be issued from and after Commencement to or for the benefit of the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued to the Investor or its designee only as DWAC Shares and will not bear legends noting restrictions as to resale of such securities under federal or state securities laws, nor will any such securities be subject to stop transfer instructions.

None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Shares under the Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Shares to require approval of stockholders of the Company under any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their Affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Shares under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the Shares to be integrated with other offerings.

Section 5.36. Dilutive Effect. The Company is aware and acknowledges that issuance of the Shares could cause dilution to existing stockholders and could significantly increase the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Shares to be purchased by the Investor pursuant to a VWAP Purchase is, upon the Company’s delivery to the Investor of a VWAP Purchase Notice for a VWAP Purchase in accordance with this Agreement, absolute and unconditional following the delivery of such VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor, regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.

After the Closing Date, the Common Stock will be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not have taken any action designed to, or which to its Knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor shall the Company have received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company shall not have received notice from the Principal Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of the Principal Market. The Common Stock shall be eligible for participation in the DTC book entry system and there shall be shares on deposit at DTC for transfer electronically to third parties via DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) delivery system.

Section 5.39. Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors will, as of the Closing Date, have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Charter or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Investor as a result of the Investor and the Company fulfilling their respective obligations or exercising their respective rights under the Transaction Documents (as applicable), including, without limitation, as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Shares and the Investor’s ownership of the Shares.

Section 5.42. Acknowledgement Regarding Relationship with Investor and CF&CO. The Company acknowledges and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s-length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and CF&CO is acting as a representative of the Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and of no other party, including the Company. The Company further acknowledges that while the Investor will be deemed to be a statutory “underwriter” with respect to certain of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with interpretive positions of the Staff of the Commission, the Investor is a “trader” that is not required to register with the Commission as a broker-dealer under Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company further acknowledges that the Investor and its representatives are not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and any advice given by the Investor or any of its representatives (including CF&CO) or agents in connection therewith is merely incidental to the Investor’s acquisition of the Shares. The Company and Investor understand and acknowledge that employees of CF&CO may discuss market color, VWAP Purchase Notice timing and parameter considerations and other related capital markets considerations with the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, in all cases on behalf of the Investor. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has not made and does not make any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than those specifically set forth in Article IV.

Section 5.43. Acknowledgement Regarding Investor’s Affiliate Relationships. Affiliates of the Investor, including CF&CO, engage in a wide range of activities for their own accounts and the accounts of customers, including corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, merchant banking, equity and fixed income sales, trading and research, derivatives, foreign exchange, futures, asset management, custody, clearance and securities lending. In the course of their respective business, Affiliates of the Investor may, directly or indirectly, hold long or short positions, trade and otherwise conduct such activities in or with respect to debt or equity securities or bank debt of, or derivative products relating to, the Company. Any such position will be created, and maintained, independently of the position the Investor takes in the Company. In addition, at any given time Affiliates of the Investor, including CF&CO, may have been or in the future may be engaged by one or more entities that may be competitors with, or otherwise adverse to, the Company in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and Affiliates of the Investor, including CF&CO may have or may in the future provide investment banking or other services to the Company in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Activities of any of the Investor’s Affiliates performed on behalf of the Company may give rise to actual or apparent conflicts of interest given the Investor’s potentially competing interests with those of the Company. The Company expressly acknowledges the benefits it receives from the Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, on the one hand, and the Investor’s Affiliates’ activities, if any, on behalf of the Company unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, on the other hand, and understands the conflict or potential conflict of interest that may arise in this regard, and has consulted with such independent advisors as it deems appropriate in order to understand and assess the risks associated with these potential conflicts of interest. Consistent with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, applicable Affiliates of the Investor have adopted policies and procedures to establish and maintain the independence of their research departments and personnel from their investment banking groups and the Investor. As a result, research analysts employed by Affiliates of the Investor may hold views, make statements or investment recommendations or publish research reports with respect to the Company or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that differ from the views of the Investor.

Section 5.44. Emerging Growth Company Status. From the time of the initial filing of the Company’s first registration statement with the Commission, the Company has been and is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act.

Section 6.1. Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the Commission and the Principal Market, if and as applicable, in accordance with their respective rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and shall take all necessary action, undertake all proceedings and obtain all registrations, permits, consents and approvals for the legal and valid issuance of the Shares to the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, as applicable.

Section 6.2. Reservation of Common Stock. Following the Closing Date, the Company will have available and the Company shall reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive and other similar rights of stockholders, the requisite aggregate number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to enable the Company to timely effect the issuance, sale and delivery of all Shares to be issued, sold and delivered in respect of each VWAP Purchase effected under this Agreement, at least prior to the delivery by the Company to the Investor of the applicable VWAP Purchase Notice in connection with such VWAP Purchase. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Commencement Date the Company shall have reserved, out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Cap solely for the purpose of effecting VWAP Purchases under this Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for the purpose of effecting VWAP Purchases under this Agreement may be increased from time to time by the Company from and after the Commencement Date, and such number of reserved shares may be reduced from and after the Commencement Date only by the number of Shares actually issued, sold and delivered to the Investor pursuant to any VWAP Purchase effected from and after the Commencement Date pursuant to this Agreement.

25

Section 6.3. Registration and Listing. Following the Closing Date, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock to continue to be registered as a class of securities under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and to comply with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock and the listing of the Shares purchased by the Investor hereunder on the Principal Market and to comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market. The Company shall not take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. If the Company receives any final and non-appealable notice that the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Principal Market shall be terminated on a date certain, the Company shall promptly (and in any case within 24 hours) notify the Investor of such fact in writing and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock to be listed or quoted on another Principal Market.

Section 6.4. Compliance with Laws.

(i) During the Investment Period, the Company shall comply with applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including Regulation M thereunder, applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and applicable listing rules of the Principal Market, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect or for the Investor to conduct resales of Shares under the Registration Statement in any material respect.

(ii) The Investor shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and its investment in the Shares, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including Regulation M thereunder, and all applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

26

Section 6.5. Keeping of Records and Books of Account; Due Diligence.

(i) During the Investment Period, the Investor and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining Total Commitment, the remaining Aggregate Limit and the dates and VWAP Purchase Share Amount for each VWAP Purchase.

(ii) Subject to the requirements of Section 6.12, from time to time from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall make available for inspection and review by the Investor during normal business hours and after reasonable notice, customary documentation reasonably requested by the Investor and/or its appointed counsel or advisors to conduct due diligence; provided, however, that Investor’s satisfaction with the results of such due diligence shall not be a condition precedent to the Company’s right to deliver to the Investor any VWAP Purchase Notice or the settlement thereof after the Commencement Date.

Section 6.6. No Frustration; No Variable Rate Transactions.

(i) No Frustration. The Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver the Shares to the Investor in respect of a VWAP Purchase not later than the Share Delivery Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.6(i) shall in any way limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.2 (subject in all cases to Section 8.3).

(ii) No Variable Rate Transactions. The Company shall not effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction, other than in connection with an Exempt Issuance. The Investor shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Section 6.7. Corporate Existence. The Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate existence of the Company; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 6.8, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from engaging in any Fundamental Transaction with another Person. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.7 shall in any way limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.2 (subject in all cases to Section 8.3).

Section 6.8. Fundamental Transaction. If a VWAP Purchase Notice has been delivered to the Investor and the transactions contemplated therein have not yet been fully settled in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction until the expiration of five (5) Trading Days following the date of full settlement thereof and the issuance to the Investor of all of the Shares issuable pursuant to the VWAP Purchase to which such VWAP Purchase Notice relates.

27

Section 6.9. Selling Restrictions.

(i) Except as expressly set forth below, the Investor covenants that from and after the Closing Date through and including the Trading Day next following the expiration or termination of this Agreement as provided in Article VIII (the “Restricted Period”), none of the Investor or any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (a) engage in any Short Sales of the Common Stock or (b) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock, with respect to each of clauses (a) and (b) hereof, for the principal account of the Investor or any Restricted Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (x) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) the Shares; or (y) selling a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares that such Restricted Person is unconditionally obligated to purchase under a pending VWAP Purchase Notice but has not yet received from the Company or the Transfer Agent pursuant to this Agreement, so long as (1) such Restricted Person (or the Broker-Dealer, as applicable) delivers the Shares purchased pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice to the purchaser thereof or the applicable Broker-Dealer promptly upon such Restricted Person’s receipt of such Shares from the Company in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement and (2) neither the Company nor the Transfer Agent shall have failed for any reason to deliver such Shares to the Investor or its Broker-Dealer so that such Shares are received by the Investor as DWAC Shares prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement.

(ii) In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Shares (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), the Investor shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Section 6.10. Effective Registration Statement. During the Investment Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement and each New Registration Statement filed with the Commission under the Securities Act for the applicable Registration Period pursuant to and in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 6.11. Blue Sky. The Company shall take such action, if any, as is necessary by the Company in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Shares for sale by the Company to the Investor pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and at the request of the Investor, the subsequent resale of Registrable Securities by the Investor, in each case, under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investor from time to time following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6.11, (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

28

Section 6.12. Non-Public Information. Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall disclose any material non-public information about the Company to the Investor during any VWAP Purchase Period, unless a simultaneous public announcement thereof is made by the Company in the manner contemplated by Regulation FD. In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Investor), (i) the Investor shall promptly provide written notice of such breach to the Company and (ii) after such notice has been provided to the Company and, provided that the Company shall have failed to demonstrate to the Investor within twenty-four (24) hours that such information does not constitute material, non-public information or the Company shall have failed to publicly disclose such material, non-public information within 24 hours following demand therefor by the Investor, in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if the Investor is holding any Shares at the time of the disclosure of material, non-public information, the Investor shall have the right to make a public disclosure with the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, non-public information; provided, that prior to making any such public disclosure, the Investor shall consult with the Company and provide the Company with an opportunity to review and comment on such proposed disclosure. The Investor shall not have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure.

Section 6.13. Broker/Dealer. The Investor shall use one or more broker-dealers to effectuate all sales, if any, of the Shares that it may purchase or otherwise acquire from the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents, as applicable, which (or whom) shall be a DTC participant (collectively, the “Broker-Dealer”). The Investor shall, from time to time, provide the Company and the Transfer Agent with all information regarding the Broker-Dealer reasonably requested by the Company. The Investor shall be solely responsible for all fees and commissions of the Broker-Dealer (if any), which shall not exceed customary brokerage fees and commissions and shall be responsible for designating only a DTC participant eligible to receive DWAC Shares.

For purposes of this Section 6.14, any disclosure made in a schedule to the Compliance Certificate shall be deemed to be an update of the Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no update to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall cure any breach of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement and made prior to the update and shall not affect any of the Investor’s rights or remedies with respect thereto.

29

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement, the information and disclosure contained in any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in any other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule as though fully set forth in such Schedule for which applicability of such information and disclosure is readily apparent on its face. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, such information and the thresholds (whether based on quantity, qualitative characterization, dollar amounts or otherwise) set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

Section 6.15. Delivery of Bring Down Opinions and Compliance Certificates Upon Occurrence of Certain Events.

The requirement to provide the documents identified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.15 shall be waived for any Representation Date if the Company or the Investor has given notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to the individual(s) of the other party set forth in Section 10.4 hereto, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any individual to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to the individual(s) of the other party set forth in Section 10.4 hereto) of the suspension of VWAP Purchases (a “Suspension”), which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a VWAP Purchase Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date (which also shall be waived if a Suspension is then in effect). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice following a Representation Date when a Suspension was in effect and did not provide the Investor with the documents identified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.15, then before the Investor accepts such VWAP Purchase Notice, the Company shall provide the Investor with the documents identified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.15, dated as of the date that the VWAP Purchase Notice is accepted by the Investor.

To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Company set forth in this Section 9.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Damages which is permissible under applicable law, provided that in no event shall the Investor be obligated to contribute any amount in excess of the fees it actually receives pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9.2. Indemnification of the Company. In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and sale of the Shares hereunder and in addition to all of the Investor’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.2, the Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, each of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, and representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Company Party”), from and against Damages that any Company Party may suffer or incur in connection with the claims described in clauses (a), (b), and (c) of Section 9.1; provided that, such indemnity shall only be required if the Damages occurred as a result of an untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission in a Commission Document, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor for the Company’s express for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information set forth on Exhibit B to this Agreement is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement).

42

Section 9.3. Indemnification Procedures.

(i) Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 9.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from liability under Section 9.1, unless and solely to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice as evidenced by the forfeiture by the Company of substantive rights or defenses. The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim or action is brought, the Company may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Party. After the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor Party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding unless (a) the employment of counsel by the Investor Party has been authorized in writing by the Company, (b) the Investor Party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or another Investor Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, (c) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the Investor Party) between an Investor Party and the Company (in which case the Company will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (d) the Company has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action or counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action; in each of which cases the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the Company. It is understood that the Company shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (plus local counsel) admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such similarly situated Investor Parties. The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this section (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an express and unconditional release of each indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

43

(ii) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Article IX for any reason is held to be unavailable or insufficient to hold an Investor Party harmless, the Company and the Investor Party will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) to which the Company and the Investor Party may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Investor on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Investor Party on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the aggregate of all VWAP Purchase Amounts (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total proceeds received by the Investor for the sale of Shares to bona fide third parties net of the aggregate VWAP Purchase Price paid to the Company therefor under this Agreement. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Investor Party, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Investor Party, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9.3(ii) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 9.3(ii) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 9.3(ii), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 9.2(i) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.3(ii), the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate discount to the VWAP for all purchases made under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9.3(ii), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, any Affiliates of the Investor Party and any officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of the Investor Party or any of its Affiliates, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 9.3(ii), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 9.3(ii) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 9.3(i) hereof.

The remedies provided for in this Article IX are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor Party at law or in equity.

(i) Certain Fees and Expenses. Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except that the Company will reimburse the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of legal counsel to the Investor in an amount not to exceed $75,000 in connection with the entry into this Agreement and $25,000 per fiscal quarter in connection with the Investor’s ongoing due diligence and review of deliverables subject to Section 6.15. The Company shall pay all U.S. federal, state and local stamp and other similar stock transfer taxes and duties (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any income taxes) levied in connection with issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto.

(ii) Upfront Commitment Fee. In consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue to the Investor the Upfront Commitment Fee on the Commencement Date, by transfer of the Commitment Shares to an account designated by the Investor, and will provide Investor, not later than 4:00 P.M. New York City time on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Commencement Date, one or more book-entry statement(s) representing the Commitment Shares in the name of the Investor or its designee. For the avoidance of doubt, the entire amount of the Upfront Commitment Fee shall be fully earned by the Investor when such amount is paid in accordance with this Section 10.1(ii) on the Commencement Date and shall be non-refundable, regardless of whether any VWAP Purchases are made or settled hereunder or any subsequent termination of this Agreement. Upon issuance pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii), the Commitment Shares shall constitute “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and, subject to the provisions of subsection (iv) of this Section 11.1, the certificate or book-entry statement representing the Commitment Shares shall bear the restrictive legend set forth below in subsection (iii) of this Section 11.1. The Commitment Shares shall constitute Registrable Securities and shall be included in the Initial Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, and the Prospectus included therein, and, if necessary to register the resale thereof by the Investor under the Securities Act, in any New Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, and the Prospectus included therein, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Commitment Shares and the entire amount shall be fully earned by the Investor and shall be non-refundable as of the Commencement Date, regardless of whether any VWAP Purchases are made or settled hereunder or any subsequent termination of this Agreement.

45

(iii) Legends. The certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing the Commitment Shares issued prior to the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement, except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and stop transfer instructions may be placed against transfer of the Commitment Shares):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO: (1) RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (2) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A CUSTOMARY FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, all Shares to be issued in respect of any VWAP Purchase Notice delivered to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued to the Investor in accordance with Section 3.2 by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC as DWAC Shares, and the Company shall not take any action or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company otherwise.

(iv) Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions; Notice of Effectiveness. On the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement and prior to Commencement, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to its Transfer Agent, (a) irrevocable instructions executed by the Company to be acknowledged in writing by the Company’s Transfer Agent (the “Commencement Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) and (b) the notice of effectiveness (the “Notice of Effectiveness”) relating to the Initial Registration Statement executed by the Company’s outside counsel, in each case directing the Transfer Agent to issue to the Investor or its designated Broker-Dealer at which the account or accounts to be credited with the Shares being purchased by the Investor are maintained any Registrable Securities included in the Initial Registration Statement as DWAC Shares, if and when such Registrable Securities are issued in accordance with this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. With respect to any post-effective amendment to the Initial Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment to any New Registration Statement, in each case becoming effective after the Commencement Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to its Transfer Agent (x) irrevocable instructions in the form substantially similar to the Commencement Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions executed by the Company and to be acknowledged in writing by the Transfer Agent and (y) the Notice of Effectiveness, in each case modified as necessary to refer to such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment and the Registrable Securities included therein, to issue the Registrable Securities included therein as DWAC Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Shares to be issued in respect of any VWAP Purchase Notice delivered to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued to the Investor in accordance with Section 3.2 by crediting the Investor’s account at DTC as DWAC Shares, and the Company shall not take any action or give instructions to any Transfer Agent of the Company otherwise. The Company represents and warrants to the Investor that, while this Agreement is effective, no instruction other than those referred to in this Section 10.1(iii) will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent with respect to the Shares from and after Commencement, and the Registrable Securities covered by the Initial Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof, or any New Registration Statement or post-effective amendment thereof, as applicable, shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company and no stop transfer instructions shall be maintained against the transfer thereof. The Company agrees that if the Company fails to fully comply with the provisions of this Section 10.1(iii) within three (3) Trading Days after the date on which the Investor has provided any deliverables that the Investor may be required to provide to the Company or its Transfer Agent (if any), the Company shall, at the Investor’s written instruction, purchase from the Investor all shares of Common Stock purchased or acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement that contain any restrictive legend or that have any stop transfer orders maintained that prohibit or impede the transfer thereof in any respect at the greater of (i) the purchase price paid by the Investor for such shares of Common Stock (as applicable) and (ii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the Investor’s written instruction.

46

Section 10.2. Specific Enforcement; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(i) The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity.

(ii) Each of the Company and the Investor (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court and other courts of the United States sitting in the State of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Investor consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 10.2 shall affect or limit any right to

serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(iii) EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2.

Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercises thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

49

Section 10.8. Construction. The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents. In addition, each and every reference to share prices (including the Threshold Price) and number of shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall, in all cases, be subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. Any references to “Section” or “Article” in this Agreement shall, unless otherwise expressly stated herein, refer to the applicable Section or Article of this Agreement.

Section 10.9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors. Neither the Company nor the Investor may assign this Agreement or any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder to any Person.

Section 10.10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Article IX, this Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

Section 10.11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions of such state that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.12. Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof until the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of Article VIII (Termination), Article IX (Indemnification) and this Article X (Miscellaneous) shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely notwithstanding such termination, and, (ii) so long as the Investor owns any Shares, the covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in Article VI (Additional Covenants), shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of thirty (30) days following such termination.

Section 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature or signature delivered by e-mail in a “.pdf” format data file, including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com, www.echosign.adobe.com, etc., shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.

Section 10.14. Publicity. The Company shall afford the Investor and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, shall consult with the Investor and its counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from the Investor or its counsel on, any press release, Commission filing or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, prior to the issuance, filing or public disclosure thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to submit for review any such disclosure (i) contained in periodic reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act if it shall have previously provided the same disclosure to the Investor or its counsel for review in connection with a previous filing or (ii) any Prospectus Supplement if it contains disclosure that does not reference the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

50

Section 10.15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 10.16. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Investor acknowledges that it has read the Company’s prospectus dated December 3, 2020, and understands that the Company has established a trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Trust Fund”) for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and that the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Fund only (a) to the Company’s public shareholders in the event they elect to convert their ordinary shares into cash in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and/or the liquidation of the Company or (b) to the Company after, or concurrently with, the consummation of a business combination. The Investor further acknowledges that, if the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, or, upon termination of the Business Combination Agreement, another business combination, are not consummated by December 3, 2022, or such later date as shall be set forth in an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association for the purpose of extending the date by which the Company must complete a business combination, the Company will be obligated to return to its shareholders the amounts being held in the Trust Fund. Accordingly, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby waives all rights, title, interest or claim of any kind against the Company to collect from the Trust Fund any monies that may be owed to them by the Company for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to a breach of this Agreement by the Company or any negotiations, agreements or understandings with the Company (whether in the past, present or future), and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund at any time for any reason whatsoever. This paragraph will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason, but, notwithstanding anything set forth herein, will not limit the rights of the Company or its shareholders at or following the Closing.

Section 10.17. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of the Investor or the Company, each of the Company and the Investor shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

REGISTRATIONS

2. Registration.

(a) Mandatory Registration.

The Initial Registration Statement shall contain the “Selling Stockholder” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the Commission, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 120th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Initial Registration Statement (including a limited review) and (ii) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Initial Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Initial Registration Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information, and executing such documents, in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request in accordance with Section 4(a); provided, further, that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder.

The Company shall have no obligation to reimburse the Investor for any and all legal fees and expenses of the Legal Counsel incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. If at any time all Registrable Securities are not covered by the Initial Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) as a result of Section 2(e) or otherwise, the Company, upon written request of such Investor, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, the Initial Registration Statement (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or one or more additional Registration Statements so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities not covered by such Initial Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable (taking into account any position of the staff of the Commission (“Staff”) with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such additional Registration Statement(s) to be filed with the Commission and the rules and regulations of the Commission) (each such additional Registration Statement, a “New Registration Statement”), and such New Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the Commission.

(d) No Inclusion of Other Securities. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(c) without consulting the Investor and Legal Counsel prior to filing such Registration Statement with the Commission. The Investor acknowledges that it will be disclosed as an “underwriter” and a “selling stockholder” in each Registration Statement and in any Prospectus contained therein to the extent required by applicable law and to the extent the Prospectus is related to the resale of Registrable Securities.

(e) Offering. If the Staff or the Commission seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(c), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the Commission to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement (after consultation with the Investor and Legal Counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the Commission shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if after giving effect to the actions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the Staff or the Commission does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), the Company shall not request acceleration of the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) request the withdrawal of such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act, and the Effectiveness Deadline shall automatically be deemed to have elapsed with respect to such Registration Statement at such time as the Staff or the Commission has made a final and non-appealable determination that the Commission will not permit such Registration Statement to be so utilized (unless prior to such time the Company has received assurances from the Staff or the Commission that a New Registration Statement filed by the Company with the Commission promptly thereafter may be so utilized). In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file one or more New Registration Statements with the Commission in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the Prospectuses contained therein are available for use by the Investor.

(f) Any Registrable Security shall cease to be a “Registrable Security” at the earliest of the following: (i) when a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Security becomes or has been declared effective by the Commission and such Registrable Security has been sold transferred, exchanged or disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement; (ii) when such Registrable Security is held by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) the date that is the first (1st) anniversary of the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement.

The Company shall submit to the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act.

The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) included in each Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities and for such period of time thereafter as such Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with resales of Registrable Securities.

(a) In the event any Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party” and collectively, the “Investor Parties”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the Commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Investor Party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or in any Prospectus Supplement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Investor Parties, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable and documented legal fees or other reasonable and documented expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Party arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor Party for such Investor Party expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement); (ii) shall not be available to the Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected Prospectus, if such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only if, and to the extent that, following the receipt of the corrected Prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investor Party.

11

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Company Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement, the Prospectus included therein or any Prospectus Supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement); and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), the Investor shall reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Party or the Company Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party or such Company Party and the indemnifying party, in which case, if such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof on behalf of the indemnified party and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party; provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for all Investor Parties or Company Parties (as the case may be). The Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Company Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(d) No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred; provided that any Person receiving any payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall promptly reimburse the Person making such payment for the amount of such payment to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Person receiving such payment was not entitled to such payment.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Company Party or Investor Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

12

Article VII
CONTRIBUTIONS

7. Contribution.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Investor shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Article VIII
REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT

8. Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:

(a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

(c) furnish to the Investor, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the Commission if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

(d) take such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent without unreasonable delay as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker in their efforts to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

PropTech Investment Corporation II to Combine with Appreciate, Bringing Single Family Rental Marketplace & Management Platform, Renters Warehouse, to the Public Markets

● Appreciate Facilitates Investment in the Massive and Highly Fragmented Single Family Rental Market

● Estimated Post-Transaction Enterprise Value of $416 Million with up to an Additional $159 Million in Net Cash¹ to Fund Growth

● No Minimum Cash Condition and a Committed Equity Facility of $100 Million from CF Principal Investments LLC, an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald

● Appreciate Management and Existing Equity Holders Will Roll 96% to 100% of Their Existing Equity into Equity of the Combined Company, Subject to PTIC Trust Redemptions^[2]

NEW YORK, NY and MINNETONKA, MN, May 17, 2022 – PropTech Investment Corporation II (NASDAQ: PTIC) (“PropTech II” or “PTIC”), a special purpose acquisition company targeting businesses in the real estate technology industry, and RW National Holdings, LLC (d/b/a Appreciate) (“Appreciate” or “the company”), the parent holding company of Renters Warehouse, a leading end-to-end Single Family Rental (“SFR”) marketplace and management platform, have entered into a definitive agreement which will result in Appreciate becoming a publicly listed company.

Upon closing of the transaction, PropTech II will be renamed Appreciate and will remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol “SFR.”

Through its operating company, Renters Warehouse, Appreciate offers a full-service technology platform for investing in and owning SFR properties. The company provides a proprietary online marketplace and full-service brokerage teams in over 40 markets, allowing investors to execute with efficiency and confidence. Appreciate’s clients benefit from a SFR property management platform that addresses the full spectrum of investor needs, from resident placement and property management to analytics and reporting.

Appreciate Investment Highlights

● Substantial Addressable Market: Appreciate competes in a U.S. total addressable market estimated at more than $145 billion, with powerful demographic and secular tailwinds. The space remains highly fragmented, with no marketplace platform achieving greater than 1% market share.

● End-to-End Marketplace Addresses Industry Gap: Appreciate’s proprietary, end-to-end SFR platform brings together both the marketplace and management segments of SFR that have traditionally been serviced independently. Appreciate helps a diversified customer base of both retail and institutional investors buy, lease, manage and sell SFR property, all in one place, creating a strong network effect and higher customer lifetime value.

¹ Assumes no redemptions of PTIC’s public stockholders.

² Excluding Appreciate’s Senior Lender.

   

● Strong Unit Economics: The company has a highly scalable, recurring revenue model with an LTV/CAC³ of over 13x which supports investment in growth. 65% of Appreciate’s revenue base is front-loaded⁴ and realized in the first three months of a customer’s life on its platform.

● Demonstrable Growth Opportunities: Significant growth opportunities exist across all business segments, including marketing-driven growth with retail investors, geographic expansion, M&A, and new products and services including payments, insurance and mortgage referrals, and landlord and resident services.

● Experienced Management: Appreciate’s team includes leaders with deep SFR industry and operating expertise and accomplished track records of growing and scaling businesses.

“Single family rental represents an attractive investment opportunity and investment hedge, but the complexity of buying and owning a rental property has until now been a hurdle for many investors,” said Chris Laurence, CEO of Appreciate. “Our goal is to democratize SFR ownership by making the end-to-end process more seamless and closer to the experience of managing other types of investments. Combining with PropTech II and becoming a publicly listed company will enable us to scale our business with both retail and institutional investors and capitalize on the strong economic and demographic tailwinds in SFR.”

Kevin Ortner, President of Appreciate, added: “As a leader in the SFR industry for more than a decade, we have continually expanded the scope of our service offering. With the capital from our business combination with PTIC, we will be able to scale the breadth of our technology solutions, increase our share in existing markets and rapidly penetrate new geographies.”

Tom Hennessy, Chairman, co-CEO and President of PropTech II, commented: “SFR technology is one of our highest conviction investment themes at PropTech II. We believe that Appreciate, with its end-to-end solution, is the category winner in this massive but fragmented TAM. The company has an accomplished leadership team, a proven revenue model, and highly scalable unit economics. We are thrilled to partner with Appreciate and look forward to their public debut.”

Scott Honour, Chairman of Appreciate and Managing Partner of Northern Pacific Group, an Appreciate security holder, stated: “Combining Appreciate with PropTech II provides the company with the resources to accelerate its growth while allowing existing security holders to continue to participate in the ongoing upside. The PropTech II team are terrific collaborative partners, and we are excited about working together to write the next chapter in this vibrant industry.”

Transaction Terms & Financing

The combined company will have an estimated post-transaction enterprise value of $416 million, consisting of an estimated equity value of $575 million, $159 million in cash, and no debt, assuming no redemptions by PropTech II public stockholders. Cash proceeds raised will consist of PropTech II’s approximately $230 million of cash in trust (before redemptions) and a committed equity facility of $100 million (the “Committed Equity Facility”) from CF Principal Investments LLC, an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., subject to certain conditions precedent.

³ Based on fiscal year 2021 for retail property management customers. LTV based on 2021A gross margin of $8,246 per customer, assuming average fees, property value and customer life, and one Marketplace transaction during tenure of property; CAC based on 2021A average cost to acquire customers of $608 per customer.

⁴ For 2022E period. Front-Loaded revenue represents Marketplace and Placement revenue.

2

   

With no minimum cash condition, the cash in the PTIC trust account and Cantor’s committed equity facility is anticipated to support the company’s growth capital needs for 2022 and 2023. The net proceeds raised from the transaction will be used to support Appreciate’s compelling growth strategy. Appreciate is projected to generate revenue and EBITDA of $113 million and $23 million, respectively, in 2023, exclusive of any accretive benefits from M&A activity made possible by this transaction.

Current Appreciate management, employees and existing shareholders will roll 96% to 100% of their existing equity holdings into equity of the combined company, subject to redemptions by PTIC public stockholders. Assuming no redemptions, existing Appreciate security holders will receive approximately 50% of the pro forma equity as part of the transaction. The business combination has been approved by the boards of directors of both Appreciate and PropTech II. The business combination is expected to close in the second half of 2022, subject to regulatory and stockholder approvals and other customary closing conditions.

For a summary of the material terms of the proposed transaction, as well as a supplemental investor presentation, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additional information about the proposed transaction will be described in PropTech II’s proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the business combination, which it will file with the SEC.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements herein may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or PTIC’s or Appreciate’s future financial or operating performance, including pro forma and estimated financial information, and other “forward-looking statements” (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). For example, projections of EBITDA and other metrics are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Appreciate and its management, and/or PTIC and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreement with respect to the business combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Appreciate, PTIC, the combined company or others following the announcement of the business combination and the definitive agreement with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of PTIC, to obtain financing to complete the business combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) the failure of any condition precedent to the Committed Equity Facility which could cause the termination of such facility; (5) changes to the proposed structure of the business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the business combination; (6) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the business combination; (7) the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations of Appreciate as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (9) costs related to the business combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that Appreciate or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (12) Appreciate’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (13) the failure to realize anticipated pro forma results or projections and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions, purchase price and other adjustments; and (14) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in PTIC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, in the Proxy Statement relating to the business combination to be filed with the SEC, and in subsequent filings with the SEC, including the definitive proxy statement relating to the business combination. There may be additional risks that neither PTIC nor Appreciate presently know or that PTIC and Appreciate currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Nothing herein should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither Appreciate nor PTIC undertakes any duty, and each of Appreciate and PTIC expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter any projections or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Certain financial measures are included herein which are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including, but not limited to, EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Appreciate’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that Appreciate’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Appreciate believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Appreciate’s financial condition and results of operations. Appreciate believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing Appreciate’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the appendix found at the end of the investor presentation available on appreciate.rent for more details regarding the calculations of such measures and/or for a reconciliation of these measures to what Appreciate believes are the most directly comparable measures evaluated in accordance with GAAP.

Certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures are also included herein. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Appreciate is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.

Use of Projections

Financial forecasts are included herein with respect to Appreciate’s projected financial results, including, without limitation, revenue and EBITDA, for Appreciate’s fiscal year 2023. Appreciate’s independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion herein, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of inclusion herein. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of Appreciate or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.

Forward - Looking Statements Certain statements in this Presentation may be considered forward - looking statements. Forward - looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s or PTIC’s future financial or operating performance, including pro forma and estimated financial information, and other “forward - looking statements” (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). For example, projections of future EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and other metrics are forward - looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward - looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward - looking statements. These forward - looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, and/or PTIC and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, PTIC, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of PTIC, to obtain financing to complete the Business Combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability; and (12) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary” in PTIC’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated December 3, 2020. Nothing in this Presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward - looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward - looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither the Company nor PTIC undertakes any duty, and each of the Company and PTIC expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter this Presentation or any projections or forward - looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Appendix

43 Financial Model Assumptions APPENDIX Financial Projections • Included in this Presentation are the Company’s estimates of its financial performance for fiscal years 2022 through 2023 (the “Financial Projections”), based on information known as of the date of this Presentation. The Financial Projections were prepared by the Company’s management as a part of its long - term planning process, and to provide current and potential investors with the Company’s expectations of projected financial performance for their use in evaluating an investment in the Company as described in this Presentation. • The underlying assumptions on which the Financial Projections are based require significant judgment. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Financial Projections will be an accurate prediction of future results. Key estimates and assumptions underlying the Financial Projections include: • Revenue growth – A number of factors influence the Company’s revenue projections, including, but not limited to, transactions and transaction value (for the Company’s Marketplace business) and properties under management (for the Company’s Management business). For Retail customers, the amount and effectiveness of the Company’s marketing spend also exerts a significant influence on the amount of projected revenue. The Company’s estimates are based on historical metrics, adjusted for variables including (i) real estate market conditions, (ii) business momentum, and (iii) marketing spend. The Company's 2022 and 2023 forecasts reflect the Company’s expectations about (i) organic sales growth, (ii) new customer wins, (iii) improvements in customer retention, and (iv) the volume and value of properties transacted. • Margin improvement – The composition of the Company’s revenue impacts its gross margins. The Company expects its gross margins to improve in part due to higher growth rates in its Marketplace business. The impact of sales commission adjustments made in the Marketplace business in the first half of 2022 are also expected to result in higher gross margins in 2022 and 2023. The Company expects operating efficiencies to result in lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, and projects that its EBITDA margins will increase as a result of this improvement. • Impact of New Capital – The Company’s projections assume the availability of additional capital for investment in customer acquisition by the fourth quarter of 2022. Any delay or unavailability of such capital would directly impact the Company’s ability to grow its business. • The Company believes that its operating history provides a reasonable basis for the estimates and assumptions underlying the Financial Projections. Changes in these estimates or assumptions, including assumptions regarding business development, marketing effectiveness, and operational efficiency could materially affect the Financial Projections. • As of the date of this Presentation, the Financial Projections contained herein continue to represent management’s expectations regarding the Company’s future financial performance.

Summary of Risk Factors Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including those described at length below. These risks include, among others, the following, which we consider our most material risks: Risks Related to the COVID - 19 Pandemic • The extent of the future impact of the ongoing COVID - 19 pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Risks Related to Our Business and Operations • We recorded net losses in the past and we may experience net losses in the future. • We have incurred net losses. We may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability. • We are employing a business model with a limited track record, which may make our business difficult to evaluate. • We have a limited operating history and may not be able to operate our business successfully or generate sufficient cash flows. • We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, and any failure to do so may have an adverse effect on our business and operating results. • If we fail to continuously innovate, improve and expand our brokerage and management platform to create value for our customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted. • Our efforts to expand our management, marketplace and adjacent services businesses and offer additional adjacent services may not be successful. • Our future business and financial success will depend on our ability to continue to anticipate the needs of owners of single family residential real estate and to successfully develop and introduce new and upgraded services, including services that make our management and marketplaces useful for users. • We may be unable to increase awareness of our brands, including Renters Warehouse and Appreciate, which could adversely affect our business. • If internet search engines do not prominently feature our websites on the search engine results page, traffic to our websites would decrease and, if we are unable to maintain or increase traffic to our marketplaces, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. • Inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results. • We operate in highly competitive markets and we may be unable to compete successfully against our existing and future competitors. • Because a material portion of our business is concentrated in certain geographic areas, any adverse economic, real estate or business conditions in these geographic areas could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. • Our quarterly results and other operating metrics may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which makes these metrics difficult to predict. • If we pursue acquisitions that are not successfully completed or integrated into our existing operations, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected. • Our dependence upon third parties for key services to support critical functions of our business, primarily Salesforce, and any disruption of or interference with our use of these third - party services may have an adverse effect on our operating results or reputation if the third parties fail to perform. • We rely on information supplied by prospective residents in managing our business. • We are still building our operational expertise and systems. If we are unable to complete that successfully, our ability to operate profitably could be adversely affected. • Substantial portions of our anticipated revenue growth and retention relies on attracting large institutional buyers of single family rental properties. The failure to attract these portfolio buyers, or the loss of existing institutional clients, could significant impact our current and anticipated revenue. Private & Confidential 47 Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations (Cont’d) • We are dependent on a single asset class, which exposes us to downturns in the single family residential real estate sector. • Our leasing and property management software is built on the Salesforce platform. Our continued ability to leverage these investments requires the continued viability of, support for and improvements to that platform. • Our management team will be required to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy of our financial reports. • We rely on assumptions, estimates, and business data to calculate our key performance indicators and other business metrics, and real or perceived inaccuracies in these metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business. • Our estimates of market opportunity may prove to be inaccurate. • Changes in accounting standards, subjective assumptions and estimates used by management related to complex accounting matters could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. • The failure to successfully implement and maintain accounting systems could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. • Our platform is highly complex and our software may contain undetected errors. • Our management team has limited experience in operating a public company. • Our company culture has contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, our business could be harmed. • Some of our potential losses may not be covered by insurance. We may not be able to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage. • Third parties with whom we do business may be unable to honor their obligations to us or their actions may put us at risk. • Catastrophic events may disrupt our business. • We are subject to multiple risks related to the credit card and debit card payments we accept. • We are subject to payment - related fraud and an increase in or failure to deal effectively with fraud, fraudulent activities, fictitious transactions, or illegal transactions would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. • We are subject to payment network rules and any material modification of our payment card acceptance privileges could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Risks Related to Our Business and Industry • Our success depends on general economic conditions, the health of the U.S. real estate industry generally, and risks generally incident to the ownership and leasing of single family residential real estate, and our business may be negatively impacted by economic and industry downturns, including seasonal and cyclical trends, and volatility in the single family residential real estate lease market. • Our investments are and will continue to be concentrated in our existing and target markets and in the single family rental sector of the real estate industry, which exposes us to seasonal fluctuations in rental demand and downturns in our markets or in the single family properties sector. • Competition in identifying and acquiring customers and the right to lease single family real estate portfolios could adversely affect our ability to implement our business and growth strategies, which could materially and adversely affect us. • A change in mortgage underwriting standards could reduce the ability of homebuyers to access the credit markets on reasonable terms, or at all, which could reduce utilization of our brokerage platform. • Leasing fraud could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Private & Confidential 48 Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry (Cont’d) • Our customers depend on residents and their willingness to meet their lease obligations and renew their leases, which generates a substantial amount of our revenue. Poor tenant selection, defaults, and non - renewals by residents may adversely affect our reputation and financial performance. • Our ability to attract single family residential residents requires significant marketing expense. Increased costs of online advertising or traditional broadcast avenues would significantly increase our costs of customer acquisition. • Our business may be significantly impacted by changing of interest rates and home prices. In particular, rising interest rates and falling home prices may reduce the number and size of real estate transactions (affecting our brokerage commissions) and declining interest rates and rising home prices may cause our customers to sell their properties. • Tenant and customer feedback in online sources (e.g., Yelp, Google, etc.) in this industry is often negative and, as we continue to grow our presence in the market, could adversely impact customer an tenant acquisition as well as our stock price. • Local news reporting involving landlord/tenant issues may impact our ability to grow and maintain customers and residents in certain markets as well as generate regulatory scrutiny. • Our marketplace faces significant competition with larger established players. Risks Related to Our Personnel • The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business. Risks Related to Regulatory Compliance and Legal Matters • Changes in tax laws, regulations or fiscal and tax policies or the manner of their interpretation or enforcement could adversely impact our financial performance. • Our legacy franchise business subjects us to additional state regulatory regimes and potential claims from our franchisees. • Our ability to introduce new products to our customer base may be impacted by state regulation of insurance and real estate brokers. • Our actual or perceived failure to comply with privacy laws and standards could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. • We process, store and use personal information and other data, which subjects us to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, and violation of these privacy obligations could result in a claim for damages, regulatory action, loss of business, or unfavorable publicity. • Laws, regulations, and rules that affect the short - term rental and the long - term rental business may expose us to significant penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. • Compliance with governmental laws, regulations, and covenants that are applicable to our properties or that may be passed in the future, including affordability covenants, permit, license, and zoning requirements, may adversely affect our ability to manage customer properties and could adversely affect our growth strategy. • Tenant relief laws, including laws regulating evictions, rent control laws, and other regulations that limit our customer’s ability to increase rental rates may negatively impact our property management income and profitability. • We may become a target of legal demands, litigation (including class actions), and negative publicity by tenant and consumer rights organizations, which could directly limit and constrain our operations and may result in significant litigation expenses and reputational harm. • Our business is subject to laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, consumer protection, and other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, or otherwise harm our business. • Changes in laws affecting retention and escrow of tenant deposits may adversely affect our business and increase our expenses. • We are periodically subject to claims, lawsuits, government investigations and other proceedings that may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Risk Factors Private & Confidential 49

Risks Related to Regulatory Compliance and Legal Matters (Cont’d) • We are subject to a variety of federal and state laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing, and certain of our businesses are highly regulated. Any failure to comply with such regulations or any changes in such regulations could adversely affect our business. Risks Related to Our Technology, Privacy and Intellectual Property • Technical problems or disruptions that affect either our customers’ ability to access our services, or the software, internal applications, database and network systems underlying our services, could damage our reputation and lead to reduced demand for our services, information, analytics and online marketplace services, which would lower revenues and increase costs. • We are highly dependent on information systems, and systems failures could significantly disrupt our business, which may, in turn, negatively affect us and the value of our common stock. • Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information systems and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer. • Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations and result in the loss of critical and confidential information or litigation or claims arising from such incidents, any of which may adversely impact our reputation and business, financial condition and results of operations. • Our fraud detection processes and information security systems may not successfully detect all fraudulent activity by third parties aimed at our employees, customers or residents, which could adversely affect our reputation and business results. • Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products, services and brand. • Our platform, its features and technology offerings may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may cause us to incur unexpected costs or prevent us from providing our products and services. Risks Related to Environmental, Social, and Governance Issues • Climate change, related legislative and regulatory responses to climate change, and the transition to a lower - carbon economy may adversely affect our business. • We are subject to risks from natural disasters such as earthquakes and severe weather (the frequency and severity of which may be impacted by climate change), which may include more frequent or severe storms, extreme temperatures and ambient temperature increases, hurricanes, flooding, rising sea levels, shortages of water, droughts and wildfires, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. • Environmentally hazardous conditions could potentially adversely affect us. • We are subject to increasing scrutiny from investors and others regarding our environmental, social, governance, or sustainability, responsibilities, which could result in additional costs or risks and adversely impact our reputation, associate retention, and ability to raise capital from such investors. Private & Confidential 50 Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness • Our indebtedness could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and impair our ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness. • In the event that cash available after the contemplated transaction is not sufficient to pay off all of our indebtedness, we may not have the funds necessary to pay off approximately $11.6 million in indebtedness and this may impair adversely affect our capital structure and our ability to raise additional capital or incur additional indebtedness. Risks Related to PTIC’s Securities • If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of PTIC’s securities may decline after the closing of the Business Combination. • An active trading market for PTIC’s shares of Class A common stock may not be available on a consistent basis to provide stockholders with adequate liquidity. The stock price may be extremely volatile, and stockholders could lose a significant part of their investment. • PTIC’s shares of Class A common stock may fail to meet the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), and additional shares of common stock may not be approved for listing on NASDAQ. • Because the Company has no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your shares of common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for them. • If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the Company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the Company’s securities adversely, the price and trading volume of the Company’s securities could decline. Risks Related to PTIC and the Business Combination • The combined company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. • The Post Combination Company’s management team will have limited experience managing a public company. • HC PropTech Partners II LLC (the “Sponsor”) and each of PTIC’s officers and directors agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how PTIC’s other stockholders vote. • Since the Sponsor and PTIC’s directors and executive officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of PTIC’s other stockholders, a conflict of interest may exist in determining whether the Business Combination with the Company is appropriate as PTIC’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor and PTIC’s directors and executive officers may lose their entire investment if a business combination is not completed, and that the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete the proposed Business Combination even if it is with a less favorable target company or on less favorable terms to stockholders rather than liquidate PTIC. Private & Confidential 51 Risk Factors

Risks Related to PTIC and the Business Combination (Cont’d) • The ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be totally dependent upon the efforts of key personnel, some of whom may be from PTIC and the Company, and some of whom may join the Post - Combination Company following the initial Business Combination. The loss of key personnel or the hiring of ineffective personnel alter the Business Combination could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the post - combination business. • PTIC and the Company expect to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for corporate purposes by PTIC if the Business Combination is not completed. • PTIC has no operating history and is subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. As such, there is a risk that PTIC will be unable to continue as a going concern if PTIC does not consummate an initial business combination by December 8, 2022. Unless PTIC amends its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amends certain other agreements into which it has entered to extend the life of PTIC, if PTIC is unable to effect an initial business combination by December 8, 2022, it will be forced to liquidate and the PTIC warrants will expire worthless. • If third parties bring claims against PTIC, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per - share redemption amount received by PTIC’s stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share. • As a private company, the Company has not been required to document and test its internal controls over financial reporting, nor has management been required to certify the effectiveness of its internal controls, and its auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. As such, the Post - Combination Company may identify material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting which could lead to errors in the Post - Combination Company’s financial reporting, which could adversely affect the Post - Combination Company’s business and the market price of the Post - Combination Company’s securities. • PTIC may, in accordance with their terms, redeem unexpired PTIC warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to holders of PTIC warrants. • To the extent permitted by applicable law, PTIC’s founders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase PTIC shares of Class A common stock or PTIC warrants from public securityholders, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of PTIC’s shares of Class A common stock. • Even if PTIC consummates the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that PTIC’s public warrants will be in the money during their exercise period, and they may expire worthless. • The ability of PTIC’s stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of outstanding PTIC’s shares of Class A common stock could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful. • PTIC is not required to obtain an opinion from an independent accounting or investment banking firm, and consequently, PTIC’s stockholders may have no assurance from an independent source that the price PTIC is paying for the business is fair to PTIC’s stockholders from a financial point of view. The PTIC board of directors has not obtained (as of the date of this presentation) a third - party valuation or financial opinion in determining whether to proceed with the Business Combination, and may not obtain such a valuation or opinion. • The Company’s operating and financial forecasts, which were presented to the PTIC board of directors may not prove accurate. • The Business Combination is subject to conditions including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all. • Past performance by PTIC, including its management team and affiliates, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in PTIC or the Post - Combination Company.

Tom Hennessy – Hennessy Capital – Chairman, Co-CEO & President

Thank you, Cody, and good morning everyone.

It’s great to be here with you today. We are pleased to present the proposed business combination of PropTech Investment Corporation II and Appreciate.

Slide 8

Moving to slide 8, before I turn it over to Chris and Kevin, I’d like to take a few minutes to share the history of our proposed partnership with Appreciate, the holding company of Renters Warehouse. Our SPAC, PropTech II, IPOed in December 2020 and at that time, we promised our investors that we’d bring them a category winner that provides technological innovation to the real estate industry. We are delivering on that promise and believe we have found that company in Appreciate.

Residential technology has been one of our core investment-themes since we launched our series of PropTech SPACs back in 2019. We were a first mover and on the frontier of single-family ownership technology when we brought Porch Group public in 2020. And again, with Appreciate, we are a first mover and on the frontier, this time, with single-family rental or SFR technology. We have spent a considerable amount of time studying SFR because home ownership is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Home prices keep going up, interest rates are going higher and incomes are not keeping pace. Because of the housing affordability issues, demand for single-family rentals has grown tremendously. Institutional investors are recognizing this opportunity and have made equity commitments to SFR aggregating over $50 billion, which is up from less than $1 billion of equity commitments 2 years ago. We believe the US housing industry is rapidly changing from fragmented non-institutionally owned to scaled institutionally owned SFR, but investor owned SFR only equates to less than 2% of the overall $4 trillion dollar US single family rental market. We believe the SFR growth opportunity is massive.

Slide 9

Appreciate is a marketplace and managed services platform for SFR. We believe that Appreciate will be the category winner in this SFR whitespace and Appreciate is already attacking the massive and fragmented $145 billion total addressable market. Appreciate’s asset-light, purpose-built technology marketplace facilitates frictionless and efficient investment into SFR from both retail and institutional investors. We know this because we have evaluated a significant number of companies and technologies within the SFR space and we selected Appreciate because it meets our investment criteria. The Company has an accomplished leadership team, led by Chris and Kevin, with deep SFR industry expertise, a proven revenue model that has delivered meaningful financial historical results and highly scalable unit economics with a LTV/CAC of 13.6x.

Appreciate has multiple levers to drive growth and most importantly, compelling fundamentals. Roughly 50% historical gross margins and already EBITDA-breakeven for the past two years with a conservative EBITDA ramp in 2022 and 2023. We believe that Appreciate has attractive fundamentals at a compelling valuation.

Slide 10

The transaction is expected to close in Q3 of 2022 and post-closing Appreciate will be listed on NASDAQ under the Appreciate name. The business combination implies a pro forma combined enterprise value of $416 million, which equates to a 3.7x multiple on 2023 estimated revenue. We believe that's an attractive entry basis.

On capital structure, we are structuring the deal to ensure certainty. There is no minimum cash condition and a waterfall of cash uses depending on the PropTech II trust redemptions with most of the first dollars going to Appreciate to fund the business plan. In addition, we have secured a $100 million committed equity facility, which will support Appreciate post closing.

Slide 11

As you can hear, we’re thrilled to partner with Appreciate and with that, I’ll turn it over to Chris and Kevin to share more about their great company.

Chris?

Chris Laurence – CEO – Appreciate

Thank you, Tom, and good morning, everyone.I'm Chris Laurence, CEO of Appreciate.

I’ll give you my quick background. I started my career in M&A at Morgan Stanley, and then I went on to become a private equity general partner at Brentwood Associates. After ten years in PE, I joined the management team of a deal I was leading, and ever since then I’ve been on the operating side, in CFO, COO and CEO roles at both private and publicly reporting companies. The first of those roles was a $500 million revenue global sourcing company owned by Brentwood – I moved to Asia for a dozen years for that, and eventually was promoted to CEO.

When I came back to the US, I was interim CFO of a $2 billion publicly reporting retailer controlled by Ares. Then, I led all operations, finance, and IT as COO of a 4,000-person customer acquisition business serving Fortune 100 companies like Amazon and AT&T. Like Appreciate, that was a services business also using Salesforce and there are a lot of parallels between the two.

Kevin?

Kevin Ortner – President – Appreciate

Thanks, Chris, and good morning, everyone. I’m Kevin Ortner President of Appreciate, and I’ve been with the operating company at Renters Warehouse almost since its start. I joined the business back when we were a local 3rd party property management company in Minneapolis. I later became the largest franchisee of the business and joined full-time to run the overall company.

Since then, I’ve been leading our strategic shift: away from a franchise model to a corporate-owned model and expanding our offering to include Institutional services as well as our Marketplace. We’re excited to share all of this with you here today.

On a personal note, I’ve been investing in real estate for nearly two decades and have a huge passion for this industry. I think we can affect Americans’ lives in a great way – whether it’s the home they are living in, or the investments they are making to create that long term wealth and financial freedom for their families. And that’s just what we are doing as we grow this business to create that positive impact and transform the SFR investor experience.

Chris Laurence – CEO – Appreciate

Slide 12

I’ve been here at Appreciate for a little more than a year. When I looked at the opportunity to join the company, I did a lot of research on the single-family rental space. I saw that SFR was a massive segment with over 15 million homes, with strong underlying macros that were driving consistent growth. But despite that, it still remains a wide-open field that is incredibly fragmented. That is mostly due to a lot of problems that we help our clients solve. There are a lot of reasons this asset class has remained less accessible to investors, from fractured state and local market regulations to a lack of reliable data, to technology solutions that just haven’t kept up.

All of this just got me more excited about the space. I knew that a technology-first platform with a national footprint would claim an outsized share of the growth, in both the Marketplace and Management segments of our business.

Slide 13

If you look at the industry data, it shows we have a giant market opportunity. In the Marketplace segment, $95 billion is annual brokerage commissions for single family homes. Just over 20% of this, or $20 billion, represents investor sales. We believe that is immediately addressable with our Marketplace.

In Management, there is a $50 billion market for managing residential rental properties. Roughly 1/3^rd of this or $17 billion represents SFR fees and is an immediately addressable market. And this probably won’t be the last time you hear us say this: nobody has more than a 1% share.

Slide 14

As an end-to-end platform, Appreciate brings together both of these segments of the market. We help clients buy, lease, manage, and sell SFR, all in one place. Traditionally, the two halves of the market have been independent. On the Marketplace side, most transactions are still handled by generalist Realtors – think RE/Max or Coldwell Banker – who aren’t experts at real estate investing.

And on the Management side, the industry is dominated by small, local, mom-and-pop businesses who aren’t keeping up with technology. Appreciate addressed this gap by building the first true end-to-end offering, from buying to owning to selling.

There’s a strong network effect that comes from having this end-to-end platform: buyers on the Marketplace become owners on the Management side, and owners are able to sell their properties through the Marketplace.

And what you’ll see in the numbers when we get to CAC and LTV, is that because we have the Marketplace revenue stream plus the Management revenue stream, we believe we have a much higher lifetime value than competitors who mainly play only on one side or the other.

With this I hand over to Kevin.

Kevin Ortner – President – Appreciate

Slide 15

The business we are talking about today has been purpose-built for the opportunity in front of us in the SFR industry. We got our start in 2007 as a local property management firm. We later expanded through franchising – after our first round of investment from our private equity sponsor, we intentionally shifted course to capitalize on the growing institutionalization of the asset class.

Institutional buyers who initially came in for opportunistic reasons after the 2008 housing crash, were here to stay. However, their service expectations could be better met by the consistency of company-owned operations. That realization led us to stop issuing franchises in 2016, (which is the top middle of this slide) and switch to a focus on company-owned markets.

That growing institutional demand - along with our vision to make buying, selling and owning single family rental properties as easy as more traditional investments - led us to acquire our Marketplace platform called at the time OwnAmerica.

So, while this business has been several years in the making, this is our public debut and we’re excited to be rebranding this end-to-end solution and making that debut as Appreciate.

Slide 16

Chris and I have already introduced ourselves, but I'll tell you a little bit about the rest of the team. It’s got deep industry experience and I’m really excited about the group that we’ve assembled over the past couple of years.

I’ll start with Nolan, who is our CFO and has been with the business for 4 years. Prior to Appreciate he was Treasurer at Silver Bay – which was the first publicly traded SFR REIT. You’ll notice he’s not the only person who’s joined us from Silver Bay.

Todd Jable is our CTO, has been with the business for 3 years. Prior to joining Todd was the CTO and oversaw technology development for two institutional SFR funds - Silver Bay and FirstKey Homes.

Sally is the newest addition to the team. She joined as our Human Resources VP last year. Previously she was at FirstService Residential, which is a large HOA management firm.

Finally, Jessica Kopischke, head of compliance. She also spent time at SilverBay and has experience in the multifamily residential sector as well.

Slide 17

The company today is in over 40 markets across the country. 25 of these are company-owned, and the remainder are franchise markets. We have about 250 team members, most of those sitting across those 25 markets, giving us very important local presence and expertise. We manage about 15,000 homes on the platform across 12,000 investors, so we have a very diversified revenue base with our largest client accounting for only about 11% of total revenue. In addition, we have a high return on customer acquisition spend with an LTV/CAC of over 13 times. We’ve been growing the Marketplace side of our business at triple-digit growth rates, and we expect to reach $45MM in revenue this year and $113 million in 2023.

    Definitive Announcement Call Transcript for May 17, 2020, 9:00 AM ET Page 6 of 11

Chris Laurence – CEO – Appreciate

Slide 18

Let’s talk about how we make that revenue. On the Marketplace side, which is over 40% of our business this year and expected to be 50% next year, we’re paid by transaction fees. For buying and selling SFR, we are paid with half of the real estate commission. That happens in what we’re calling Month 1. Especially for our Institutional clients, we have a growing business renovating the homes we’ve helped them buy. We charge a renovation fee for managing this process. That typically happens in Month 2. Once the home is purchased, renovated, and ready for rent, we shift to management, where we are paid via a combination of re-occurring and recurring fees. Typically, the first thing we do is find a resident for the property, in Month 3 here. Our fee is based on the level of rent and the duration of the lease. Once we have the resident in the property, we collect ongoing recurring monthly management fees. This is a base monthly fee, plus other fees like application, renewal, eviction, late fees, and similar fees.

Kevin Ortner – President – Appreciate

Slide 19

We have two different types of clients: institutional and retail. Chris mentioned the more recent and growing Institutional demand earlier, but more specifically, they are clients like Man Group, Pagaya, and Evergreen. They are attracted to our business because of our ability to serve them across multiple markets, our tech platform, and our end-to-end accountability.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have what we call retail clients. And while these investors might have just one property or maybe they’ve built a small portfolio of homes – they own nearly 90% of the entire SFR housing stock across the country. So, this retail segment can’t be ignored, and we’ve created a competitive advantage for ourselves by taking our institutional-quality tools and technology and deploying it to our retail investors.

Slide 20

Speaking of that competitive advantage, our clients, large and small, are attracted to us and ultimately stay with us because we deliver real value and superior customer satisfaction. It starts with the Marketplace which allows investors to buy or sell properties with tenants in place and when they do, they can achieve up to 17% higher first year revenue.

Our local, on the ground experts combined with our technology allows for accurate rental price underwriting and our ability to actually overachieve this important factor. In 2021, average actual rents were 103% of underwritten rent. So, while accurate – we're on the proper side of this rent number.

On the Management side of things, our platform makes it easier to rent – with over 65,000 scheduled showings in 2021, $145 million of payments processed and an average lease term of 18 months all leads to a stat we’re very proud of, which is a Net Promoter Score of 68.

    Definitive Announcement Call Transcript for May 17, 2020, 9:00 AM ET Page 7 of 11

Chris Laurence – CEO – Appreciate

Slide 21

Now, let’s get into our technology. We made an important decision a few years ago, to break free of the limitations in the systems most property managers use.

Slide 22

They had critical limitations that would have held back our ability to scale and meet our customer needs. Instead, we developed a proprietary tech stack, integrated with the Salesforce platform, which provides an end-to-end solution across our Marketplace and Management segments. It has solutions designed for all of our stakeholders: for investors, but also for Residents and Vendors. All three groups now enjoy an experience that is really far removed from the typical mom and pop property manager experience of cell phone/email/text back and forth. Most of our interaction is now through mobile apps and portals, where we do everything from logging and scheduling repairs and maintenance, to billing and collecting rent. And at the same time that we are providing a better experience, we’re doing it with more automation, at a lower cost, all the while generating data to continuously improve operations. So, while it was a lot of work to make the transition to this proprietary tech stack, the decision was clearly the right one, and we’re now set up to benefit from it.

Kevin Ortner – President – Appreciate

It was definitely the right decision. Several years ago, while we proved we can acquire customers, we also proved that we didn’t have the right systems in place to handle the growth. Our customer experience and scalability suffered. We took a pause to design and develop the right platform and we are excited to be expanding on that and grow the business on what is a really solid foundation.

We have tech for Investors, for Residents, and finally for Vendors.

Slide 23

For investors we have both a Marketplace or acquisitions portal, and a management portal. Investors can review property underwriting, approve offers and view pipeline properties. Once a property is owned, an investor will be able to receive notifications, view real time property insights, KPIs, and view property documents through the portal.

Slide 24

Next, we have a Resident portal and app. This is how Residents connect with us through the platform. On their portal, Residents can make maintenance requests, view account balances and pay rent, chat live with a customer service rep, and access their lease and other documents.

Slide 25

For repair and maintenance needs for properties, we use a network of vetted, outsourced 3rd party vendors. Those vendors leverage our vendor portal for job assignments, request management, communications and approvals, proof of work completion and direct invoicing – all in the portal.

Chris Laurence – CEO – Appreciate

Slide 26

Moving to our Growth Strategy.

    Definitive Announcement Call Transcript for May 17, 2020, 9:00 AM ET Page 8 of 11

Slide 27

With the platform we’ve built, we believe we now have the foundation to scale aggressively.

Across the three categories that you see here–core growth, M&A, and new products and services, we think we could have approximately 10 x revenue upside from where we are today.

Core Growth includes marketing-driven Retail customer acquisition, momentum-driven Institutional expansion, and new market entry. We think we can add $200 million of revenue over the next several years through these initiatives if successful.

M&A includes rolling up Mom & Pop managers, rolling up our remaining franchises, and building out our capabilities and offerings through acquisition. We think we can add at least an additional $100 million through M&A, if successful.

We believe we also have some highly accretive expansion available to us in new products and services. This includes payments, referral opportunities including mortgage, insurance and home warranty, and a host of other investor and resident services.

We’ll go through these individually, starting with the first and largest, core organic growth.

Slide 28

On the Retail side of our business, core growth equals marketing to an incredible degree. Over the last five years, the R2 correlation between our marketing spend and our new properties added is 95%. The precedent shows, when we invest in customer acquisition, we drive growth.

For every $1 million invested, we generate approximately 167 Marketplace transactions, and 444 new properties managed. This can yield more than $3 million in new revenue, and a lot of that continues beyond year one as recurring and reoccurring revenue. This growth doesn’t require any new technology or any new strategy – it’s just a continuation of what we’re already doing today. There is just more investment in marketing, and more growth as a result.

We’re going to walk through some additional growth levers, but this one is the only one included in the financial projections we’ll get to in a minute. We have about $3 million of marketing this year, and $15 million next year, to hit our ’22 and 23 numbers.

If I had to point to one thing as to why I joined this business, this is it. I know that when we invest in customer acquisition, we create revenue.

Kevin Ortner – President – Appreciate

Slide 29

The #1 request I get from our Institutional clients is to enter more markets. And the easiest way to grow our Marketplace business with any given Institutional client is to open more markets for buying. Before we had the marketplace, this used to be much harder to justify. Greenfield expansion used to take us up to 24 months to break even from an EBITDA perspective, since all we had was the Management business and associated revenue streams. Now, with a commitment for acquisitions on the Marketplace, we can generally project to have a market open in 60 days and be profitable month one. For example, in March, we opened the Memphis market together with our clients from Evergreen adding homes for management and Pagaya committing to start up acquisitions there.

However, we do see our company entering into all of the remaining major markets where we should be inside the next several years. This is absolutely something that we can do greenfield, but in addition, there are 80,000 smaller mom and pop property management firms across the country that are great targets for M&A.

    Definitive Announcement Call Transcript for May 17, 2020, 9:00 AM ET Page 9 of 11

Chris Laurence – CEO – Appreciate

Slide 30

Now moving on to our next growth opportunity—M&A.

If we’re successful, we think we can create revenue growth of $100 million – or more – through a very straightforward acquisition program. We have an end-to-end strategy, and what’s great about that when it comes to M&A, is that our smaller targets don’t. Mom-and-pop businesses are only Retail, and only Management. They don’t have the geographic spread or the sophistication to do Institutional, and they don’t have a Marketplace. For us, the Retail only, Management only part of the business averages approximately $3,000 in annual revenue per property, $3 million for the 1,000-door illustrative acquisition you see here. When we bring our end-to-end model to an acquisition, adding Institutional, and adding Marketplace, we think we can grow that by 75% to over $5 million.

Our economics are significantly better than the operators we’re taking over from, and this is really favorable for M&A.

Slide 31

The next growth bucket is new products and services.

First is DIY, or do-it-yourself, and while this could be a new service, but it’s also something we could launch through acquisition. To give some background, a full 70% of SFR properties are owned by Mom-and-Pop investors who have chosen not to use a full-service property manager like Appreciate. However, most are at least using software that facilitates things like rent billing and payment. We can approach these DIY investors with a less expensive and more automated service offering than our full-service package. And, we’d have a lot of synergies that would give us a competitive advantage: we’d have really efficient customer acquisition since we could approach leads for either full-service or DIY segments. We could upsell or “save” customers by shifting between the two offerings. And most importantly, even if they were paying less per month, DIY customers would be just as attractive economically as a Marketplace buyer or seller.

Kevin Ortner – President – Appreciate

The second product and service opportunity is Asset Management. Many of the new institutional entrants into our space hope to operate very lean and focus on what they do best, which is raising and deploying capital. And while our Management platform and services really stop at the property level today, there is an opportunity for us to expand our efforts into true portfolio asset management and charge an additional fee for this.

The third opportunity is Referral & Data Monetization. Services surrounding the home are an incredible opportunity that we really haven’t yet capitalized on yet. We believe we have a captive audience for products such as mortgage, home warranty and insurance – both for investors and residents. And in addition to this, we know when people are moving – so the ability to not only add value to current and incoming residents but also create new revenue streams around security deposit alternatives, TV and internet connection partners and other move services is really compelling.

Slide 32

As a reminder, other than the marketing-driven growth Chris talked about, none of these growth levers has been included in our go-forward financials.

Slide 33

As you’ve heard us mention, we have a diversified revenue model, meaning we’re not just a Marketplace selling homes and doing the one and done transaction, and we’re not just managing homes. What you are looking at here is essentially a timeline from left to right from when we help an investor buy a property, through its ongoing management. From the beginning, the property acquisition, we’re collecting a sales commission on the home which averages about $7,800. We are then doing renovation services on that property and ultimately getting it ready for lease, we collect a renovation fee which averaged over $1,400 in 2021. Placing a new resident in the property and collecting a Resident placement fee is averaging about $2,200. And then ultimately going into month four and beyond, we’re creating that recurring revenue which averages $149/month between the management fees and other fee stream income that comes along with it. All this together means potential customer revenue exceeds about $18,000 over the lifetime of a customer.

    Definitive Announcement Call Transcript for May 17, 2020, 9:00 AM ET Page 10 of 11

Chris Laurence – CEO – Appreciate

Slide 34

Now to detail how that revenue stream translates to our customer LTV. We’re focusing on retail here since that’s where our customer acquisition spend is directed. We’re also shifting from revenue to gross profit for measuring LTV. Our average retail property stays with us 40 months. Based on the economics, between placement and management fees, our LTV on the Management side for that tenure is about $4,100. When the customer buys or sells property through the Marketplace that brings in on average another $4,100, for a total estimated LTV of $8,200. Our fully-loaded marketing cost for acquiring customers in 2021 was just a bit over $600. That’s an LTV to CAC of over 13 times. The timing of this LTV is very attractive, since our Marketplace and placement fees tend to come right at the start of a property’s life. Approximately 65% of our revenues are front loaded. And, while this LTV to CAC is great, what’s even better is when new customers are FREE. That’s what we are increasingly seeing as Marketplace customers turn into Management customers without additional marketing. About 1/3 of 2023 new properties are expected to come through this route, with zero additional CAC.

Slide 35

Now on to our financial results and projections. The projected acceleration of our revenue in ’22 and ’23 is primarily based on two things: First, we’re acquiring value customers with proceeds from this financing. As we talked about, there is a very tight linkage between spend and properties added. Next year, we’re acquiring about 8,000 retail property management customers, versus just over 1,000 last year. Second, we’re expecting to continue the momentum in our Marketplace. We doubled that business in ‘21, and with accelerating momentum, we hope to triple it this year. This revenue leads to strong growth in profits.

The main factor behind our expected gross margin expansion is a mix shift to the higher-margin Marketplace segment. Growth in EBITDA (and margins) comes partly from this gross margin expansion, but also from scale economies as we put more through our platform. We expect EBITDA grows to $4 million this year, and $23 million in 2023.

Slide 36

Here you’re seeing a couple of our key performance indicators, broken out into Retail and Institutional.

In the Marketplace, the fastest growth continues to be in the green bars, the Institutional segment.

On the navy bars, the Retail side, we have done essentially zero marketing, and the growth comes from new customer acquisition spending.

On the bottom half of the page, we’re looking at properties under management.

The biggest growth here is in Retail, again from restarting our customer acquisition spending.

Institutional is also growing, since most of those Marketplace transactions on the top half of the page turn into Management properties on the bottom.

With that, I’ll pass it over to Joe to speak to the Transaction Overview.

Joe Beck – Hennessy Capital –Co-CEO & CFO

Slide 37

Thanks, Chris. Good morning, everyone.

Slide 38

When we evaluated public comps, it became clear to us that Appreciate’s complementary marketplace and management business segments, which each comprise roughly half of 2023’s revenues, should each be valued in a sum of the parts. The first component is the marketplace and we further separated these comps into real estate rental marketplaces and online marketplaces. Regarding the real estate rental marketplaces, these businesses, like Appreciate, are residential rental platforms, they are highly scalable with demonstrable network effects, and they generate revenue through transaction fees. Regarding the online marketplaces, these businesses, like Appreciate, have advanced software platforms powering their marketplace activities, they have exposure to both institutional and retail investors, and have fee-based transaction revenue models.

And lastly, regarding property management, these businesses, like Appreciate, enable more efficient technology and automation for industries that have historically lacked that.

Slide 39

As shown here, we believe Appreciate stacks up well on operational benchmarking. On revenue growth, Appreciate’s expected 2022 growth rate of 60% and 2023 growth rate of 150% is at the top end of the range across all comps. And both Appreciate’s expected gross and EBITDA margins are right in line with the comp set, and notably, we expect EBITDA will ramp to a 20% margin with $23m of EBITDA just next year.

Slide 40

We show valuation benchmarking here against the same comp sets based on the $416 million pro forma enterprise value for the transaction, which we believe is very attractive on both an absolute and a relative basis. Appreciate’s estimated 2023 revenue multiple of 3.7 reflects a 49% discount to the median valuation multiple of the combined comp set. Appreciate’s estimated 2023 gross profit multiple of 6.5 reflects a 34% discount to the median comps.

So overall, although Appreciate’s revenue will be split evenly between Marketplace and Management, we see the valuation for Appreciate as priced in line with the lower multiple management comps, with significant upside to the higher growth, higher margin marketplace comps, which as you will note trade at much higher multiples.

Slide 41

Now on to our transaction summary. On the Sources side, the transaction will be funded with a combination of rolled equity from existing Appreciate shareholders, $230M estimated cash in trust, assuming no redemptions.

On the Uses side, $158.5M of net cash will go directly to Appreciate's balance sheet. We are estimating $35M for transaction fees and expenses, the repayment of $11.6m of existing debt, the repayment of $12.0m of existing Lender-held Common Stock, and finally the repayment of $12.9m of existing Preferred Stock A-1 and A, the last of which will only get paid with the last dollars from a waterfall assuming no redemptions.

Post-closing, Appreciate will also be supported by a $100 million committed equity facility from an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald.

So, to wrap things up, we at PropTech are thrilled to enter into a business combination with Appreciate.

We love the predictable revenue growth, the high gross margins, and the attractive EBITDA margin profile. Single Family Rental has a massive TAM and we believe our SPAC will be an accelerant to Appreciate capitalizing on that TAM and the tailwinds that are driving it. And lastly, we believe that Chris and Kevin have the management expertise and the vision to take Appreciate to the next level as a public company and create long-term value for shareholders.

So, that wraps up our presentation. Thank you for your time.
