ARTICLE 2

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFITS

Section 2.01. Tax Basis. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the filing of the IRS Form 1065 for the Company for the taxable year of the Company that includes the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each TRA Party a schedule (the “Tax Basis Schedule”) that provides the information necessary to perform the calculations required by this Agreement, including (a) the Transferred Basis and Basis Adjustment in each Reference Asset in respect of such TRA Party and (b) the period (or periods) over which each Reference Asset is amortizable and/or depreciable.

Section 2.02. Timing of Tax Benefit Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payments shall be payable hereunder for any period that is not a Taxable Year.

Section 2.03. Tax Benefit Schedule. (a) Tax Benefit Schedule. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the filing of the Echo Return for any Taxable Year, Echo and the Company shall provide to each TRA Party a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Tax Benefit Payment Amount in respect of such TRA Party for such Taxable Year and the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, as the case may be, and components thereof (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). Each Tax Benefit Schedule shall include a statement from the chief financial officer of Echo to the effect that the computations reflected in the Tax Benefit Schedule have been made without regard to any transaction a significant purpose of which is to reduce or defer any Tax Benefit Payment (including any rates of interest

pursuant to Rule 83 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

hereunder). If the chief financial officer of Echo determines that it is necessary to adjust any computations reflected in a Tax Benefit Schedule in order to provide the certification required by the preceding sentence, then the chief financial officer will be permitted to make such adjustments in a manner reasonably acceptable to the TRA Party for which the Tax Benefit Schedule is being prepared (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Tax Benefit Payment Amount reflected on this adjusted Tax Benefit Schedule shall be used for purposes of determining the corresponding Tax Benefit Payment and shall ignore any such transactions a significant purpose of which was to reduce or defer any Tax Benefit Payment). Each Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.04(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.04(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(b)).

(b) Applicable Principles. Subject to Section 3.03, the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the actual liability for Taxes of the Echo Group for such Taxable Year attributable to the Transferred Basis, the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest determined using a “with and without” methodology. Deductions, carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to Transferred Basis, the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local income and franchise tax laws, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of the deductions, carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. The parties agree that (i) all Tax Benefit Payments and other payments under this Agreement (to the extent permitted by law and other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code) shall (A)(x) be treated as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments that give rise to further Basis Adjustments to Reference Assets and (y) to the extent attributable to the use or deemed use of items of loss or deduction arising from Transferred Basis, be treated as a subsequent upward purchase price adjustment in respect of the Sold Portion that give rise to further Transferred Basis for the Company, and (B) have the effect of creating additional Basis Adjustments to Reference Assets or additional Transferred Basis, as the case may be, for members of the Echo Group in the year of payment, and (ii) as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments or Transferred Basis, as the case may be, will be incorporated into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate. If a deduction, carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to the Transferred Basis, the Basis Adjustments, and Imputed Interest and another portion that is not, such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology.

Section 2.04. Procedures; Amendments. (a) Procedure. Every time Echo and the Company deliver to a TRA Party an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.04(b), and any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, Echo and the Company shall also (x) deliver to such TRA Party schedules, valuation reports, if any, and work papers, as determined by Echo and the Company or requested by such TRA Party, providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and (y) allow such TRA Party reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives at Echo and the Company, as determined by Echo and the Company or requested by such TRA Party, in connection with a review of such Schedule. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, each time Echo and the Company deliver to a TRA Party a Tax Benefit Schedule, in addition to the Tax Benefit Schedule duly completed, Echo and the Company shall deliver to such TRA Party the applicable Echo Return, a reasonably detailed

calculation by the Company of the applicable Hypothetical Tax Liability and a reasonably detailed calculation by the Company of the applicable Actual Tax Liability, as well as any other work papers as determined by Echo and the Company or requested by such TRA Party. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days after the first date on which the TRA Party has received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless the MCK Representative (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving an applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Company and Echo with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of any Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Company and Echo. If the Company and Echo, on the one hand, and the MCK Representative, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Company of an Objection Notice, the Company and Echo, on the one hand, and the MCK Representative shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.10 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

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

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

Section 3.01. Payments. (a) Payments. Within five (5) calendar days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to a TRA Party becomes final in accordance with Section 2.04(a), the Company shall pay such TRA Party, for the Taxable Year to which such Tax Benefit Schedule relates, an aggregate amount equal to the Tax Benefit Payment Amount in respect of such TRA Party for such Taxable Year as determined pursuant to Section 3.01(b) (each, a “Tax Benefit Payment”). 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 Company, or as otherwise agreed by the Company and such TRA Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, federal estimated income tax payments.

pursuant to Rule 83 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) A “Tax Benefit Payment Amount” in respect of a TRA Party for a Taxable Year means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of the portion of the Net Tax Benefit to which such TRA Party is entitled (it being understood and agreed that, subject to Section 7.01 and prior to any assignment of its rights under this Agreement pursuant to 7.07, IPCo shall be entitled to the entire Net Tax Benefit for each Taxable Year) and the Additional Amount with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Additional Amount shall not be treated as interest but instead shall be treated as described in Section 2.03(b)(i)(A), unless otherwise required by law. The “Net Tax Benefit” for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year, over the total amount of payments previously made under Section 3.01(a) of this Agreement (excluding payments attributable to Additional Amounts); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no TRA Party shall be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Additional Amount” in respect of a TRA Party shall equal the additional amount on the amount of the unpaid Net Tax Benefit to which such TRA Party is entitled for a Taxable Year, which interest shall accrue on any unpaid Net Tax Benefit from and after the due date (without extensions) for filing the Echo Return for such Taxable Year, calculated at the Agreed Rate, until the date such unpaid amounts are paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) after any lump-sum payment under Article 4 of this Agreement in respect of present or future Tax attributes subject to this Agreement, the Tax Benefit Payment Amount, Net Tax Benefit and components thereof shall be calculated without taking into account any such attributes with respect to which such a lump sum payment has been made or any such lump-sum payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of a Change of Control, all Tax Benefit Payments shall be calculated by utilizing Valuation Assumptions (a) and (c), substituting in each case the terms “the closing date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date.”

Section 3.02. No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to ensure such intentions are realized.

Section 3.03. Pro Rata Payments. (a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.01 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate amount of the Echo Group’s tax benefit from the reduction in Tax liability as a result of the Transferred Basis, the Basis Adjustments or Imputed Interest under this Agreement is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Echo Group does not have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize available deductions and other attributes, the limitation on the tax benefit for the Echo Group shall be allocated among the TRA Parties in proportion to the respective amounts of Tax Benefit Payments that would have been determined under this Agreement if the Echo Group had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation.

(b) After taking into account Section 3.03(a), if for any reason the Company does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due under this Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then the Company and the TRA Parties agree that (i) the Company shall pay the same proportion of each Tax Benefit Payment due to each Person due a payment under this Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year, without favoring one obligation over the other, and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been made in full.

pursuant to Rule 83 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(c) To the extent the Company makes a payment to a TRA Party in respect of a particular Taxable Year under Section 3.01(a) of this Agreement (taking into account Section 3.03(a) and (b), but excluding payments attributable to Additional Amounts) 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, then (i) such TRA Party shall not receive further payments under Section 3.01(a) until such TRA Party has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (ii) the Company shall pay the amount of such TRA Party’s foregone payments to the other TRA Parties in a manner such that each of the other TRA Parties, to the maximum extent possible, shall have received aggregate payments under Section 3.01(a) of this Agreement (excluding payments attributable to Additional Amounts) in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess payment to such TRA Party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.01 to the contrary, during any Taxable Period in which Change is a member of the Echo Group (an “Actual Consolidation Period”), to the extent that the aggregate tax benefit of the Echo Group resulting from (x) the Transferred Basis, the Basis Adjustments or Imputed Interest and (y) Tax Assets or Payment Deductions (as defined in the Change TRA), is limited in a particular Taxable Year because the Echo Group does not have sufficient taxable income, the limitation on the tax benefit for the Echo Group shall be allocated among this Agreement and the Change TRA (and among all parties eligible for payments under each) in proportion to the respective amounts of Tax Benefit Payments (as defined in this Agreement and the Change TRA) that would have been determined under the this Agreement and the Change TRA (and allocated among such parties) if the Echo Group had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.01 to the contrary, during any taxable period in which Change is not a member of the Echo Group (a “Hypothetical Consolidation Period”), if the amount of the Tax Benefit Payment (as defined in this Agreement and the Change TRA) that would have been determined either under this Agreement or the Change TRA, as the case may be, would have been larger if such taxable period were an Actual Consolidation Period (as determined after the application of Section 3.03(d)), then the Tax Benefit Payments to be made under this Agreement and the Change TRA shall be determined by (i) the Echo Group and Change determining the Tax Benefit Payments (as defined in this Agreement and the Change TRA) that would have been payable if Change were a member of the Echo Group for such Hypothetical Consolidation Period and (ii) then applying Section 3.03(d) in respect of such Tax Benefit Payments such that the Echo Group and Change are not required to pay, collectively, an amount in excess of the amount they would pay, collectively, absent this Section 3.03(e).

(f) If for any reason the Company does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreements in respect of a particular Taxable Year, (i) Change and the Company, respectively, shall pay the same proportion of each Tax Benefit Payment due under each of this Agreement and the Change TRA in respect of such Taxable Year, without favoring one obligation over the other, and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year under either this Agreement or the Change TRA until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been made in full under both this Agreement and the Change TRA.

(g) To the extent the Company or Change makes a payment to a TRA Party under this Agreement or to the Change Shareholders (as defined in the Change TRA) under the Change TRA, respectively, in an amount in excess of the amount of such payment that should have been made to such Person (an “Overpaid Party”) in respect of such Taxable Year, then (i) the Overpaid Party shall not receive further payments under this Agreement or the Change TRA, as applicable, until the Overpaid Party has foregone an amount of payments equal to such excess and (ii) the Company or Change, as applicable, shall cause the amount of the Overpaid Party’s foregone payments to be paid to the other Person (the “Underpaid Party”), to the maximum extent possible, until the Underpaid Party shall have received aggregate payments under this Agreement in the amount it would have received if there had been no excess payment to the Overpaid Party.

(h) The parties hereto agree that the parties to the Change TRA are expressly made third party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Section 3.03.

ARTICLE 4

TERMINATION

Section 4.01. Early Termination and Breach of Agreement. (a) From and after the first to occur of (x) Qualified MCK Exit, (y) the termination of the MCK Exit Window and (z) the termination of the IPO Preference Period prior to the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, the Company may terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable by the Company to the TRA Parties by paying to each TRA Party an aggregate amount equal to the Early Termination Payment Amount in respect of such TRA Party as provided in Section 4.03(a); provided, however, that if the Company, Echo and the MCK Representative agree, the Company may terminate this Agreement with respect to some or all of the amounts payable to less than all of the TRA Parties; provided, further that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) with respect to any TRA Party unless MCK no longer owns, directly or indirectly, any Units or the MCK Representative has waived the application of this proviso; provided, further that this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) with respect to a TRA Party only upon the receipt by such TRA Party of its Early Termination Payment, and the Company and Echo shall deliver an Early Termination Notice only if the Company is able to make all required Early Termination Payments under this Agreement at the time required by Section 4.03; and provided, further, that the Company may withdraw any notice to exercise its termination rights under this Section 4.01(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payments by the Company in accordance with Section 4.03(a), the Company shall not have any further payment obligations under this Agreement with respect to each TRA Party that has received its Early Termination Payment in accordance with Section 4.03(a), other than for any (i) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Company, on one hand, and the applicable TRA Party, on the other, as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (ii) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in clause (ii) is included in the Early Termination Payment). At any time that the Company is permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.01, the Company shall so terminate this Agreement upon the request of Echo (and shall withdraw any notice to terminate upon the request of Echo).

(b) In the event that a Senior Obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is accelerated (or deemed accelerated) in connection with an event of default (other than an event of default triggered upon a change in control) (“Accelerated” and such event, an “Acceleration”), then all obligations hereunder shall be Accelerated and such obligations shall (i) be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such Acceleration and the Early Termination Payments shall be calculated (x) as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of the Acceleration and (y) applying the Valuation Assumptions as if all tax attributes described therein are fully utilized in the year of such Acceleration, (ii) include any Tax Benefit Payments in respect of a TRA Party agreed to by the Company and such TRA Party as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of an Acceleration, and (iii) include any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of any TRA Party due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of an Acceleration; provided that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.02 shall apply with respect to the determination of the amount payable by the Company pursuant to this sentence.

(c) In the event that the Company breaches any of its material obligations under this 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 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 (without duplication), but not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payments calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach, (ii) any Tax Benefit Payments in respect of a TRA Party agreed to by the Company and such TRA Party as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach, and (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of any TRA Party due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of a breach; provided that procedures similar to the procedures of Section 4.02 shall apply with respect to the determination of the amount payable by the Company pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company breaches this Agreement, each TRA Party shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Company fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Company has insufficient funds to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.02 shall apply to such late payment, unless the Company does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by any credit agreement with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party if such limitations are no more onerous than the corresponding limitations imposed by the credit agreements to which the Company is a party at the Closing, in which case Section 5.02 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by LIBOR plus 300 basis points.

Section 4.02. Early Termination Notice. (a) If the Company chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.01 above, other than in connection with a Change of Control, the Company shall deliver to each TRA Party notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Company’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment due for each TRA Party. Each Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days after the first date on which the TRA Party has received such Schedule or amendment thereto unless the MCK Representative (a) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the Company with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”) or (b) provides a written waiver of such right of a Material Objection Notice within the period described in clause (a) above, in which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Company (such thirty (30) calendar day date as modified, if at all by clauses (a) or (b), the “Early Termination Effective Date”). If the Company and the MCK Representative, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Company of the Material Objection Notice, the Company and the MCK Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures in which case such Schedule becomes binding ten (10) days after the conclusion of the Reconciliation Procedures.

(b) If the Company chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.01 above in connection with a Change of Control, any reference to 30 calendar days in Section 4.02 above shall instead be deemed to be 10 calendar days.

Section 4.03. Payment upon Early Termination. (a) Within three (3) calendar days after an Early Termination Effective Date, the Company shall pay each TRA Party an aggregate amount equal to the Early Termination Payment Amount in respect of such TRA Party (each, an “Early Termination Payment”). Each Early Termination Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the TRA Party or as otherwise agreed by the Company and such TRA Party.

(b) The “Early Termination Payment Amount” in respect of a TRA Party shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate (using a mid-year convention) as of the applicable Early Termination Effective Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of such TRA Party that would be required to be paid by the Company beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions in respect of such TRA Party are applied, provided that the Change of Control Termination Rate (instead of the Early Termination Rate) shall be used to determine the Early Termination Payment in the case of an early termination in connection with a Change of Control.

In the event that the Company, Echo and the MCK Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections Section 2.04, 3.01, 4.02 or 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and unless the Company and the MCK Representative agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Company or the MCK Representative or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Company and the MCK 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, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Tax Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by Echo, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Company except as provided in the next sentence. The Company and the MCK Representative shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert adopts the MCK Representative’s position, in which case the Company shall reimburse the MCK Representative for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert adopts the Company’s position, in which case the MCK Representative shall reimburse the Company for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.10 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be binding on Echo, the Company and the TRA Parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 7.11. Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law, provided, however, that the Company shall notify the MCK Representative (which shall notify the applicable TRA Parties) in advance before applying any such withholding to allow such applicable payee a reasonable opportunity to provide any applicable certificates, forms or other certificates that would eliminate or reduce such withholding, and the Company will otherwise reasonably cooperate with the applicable payee to eliminate or reduce such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Company, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was made.

Section 7.12. Admission of Echo into a Consolidated Group; Transfer of Assets. (a) If Echo is or becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax Return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.

(b) If the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any member of the Echo Group transfers one or more assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with which the Echo Group (or such successor group) does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, then, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the Echo Group and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of the Echo Group (or such successor group)) due hereunder, such Person 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 Person shall be equal to the gross fair market value of the contributed asset. For purposes of this Section 7.13, a transfer of an interest in an entity treated as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be treated as a transfer of the transferor’s share of each of the assets and liabilities of that entity allocated to such transferor.

Section 7.13. Confidentiality. (a) Each TRA Party and each of their assignees acknowledge and agree that the information of the Company and their Affiliates is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Company and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Company and its Affiliates and successors, concerning the Company and its Affiliates and successors or the TRA Parties, learned by the TRA Party heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.13 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Company or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of the TRA Party in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community, (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent 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 action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such returns and (iii) any

information a TRA Party discloses to a potential transferee pursuant to Section 7.07 under the terms of a confidential agreement the form of which is reasonably acceptable to Echo and the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each TRA Party and each of their assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of the TRA Party or its assignees, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Company and its 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.

(b) If a TRA Party or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.13, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.13 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Company or any of its Affiliates or the TRA Parties and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

Section 7.14. The Company Parties hereby agree that each of the Company Parties will be jointly and severally liable for any payment obligations of the JV or the Corporate Taxpayer contained in this Agreement.
