(i) In the event that (x) the VWAP of the Surviving Pubco Class A Shares equals or exceeds $14.00 per share (the “Tier I Share Price Target”) for twenty (20) of thirty (30) consecutive trading days during the Earnout Period, or (y) Surviving Pubco consummates a Change of Control in which results in the stockholders of Surviving Pubco having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding the Tier I Share Price Target (for any non-cash proceeds, as determined based on the agreed valuation set forth in the applicable definitive agreements for such transaction or, in the absence of such valuation, as determined in good faith by Surviving Pubco board of directors) then, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Interest Holders shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Pubco, as additional consideration, 50% of the Earnout Shares.

(g) Except to the extent required to be treated as interest under applicable Law, any issuance made pursuant to ‎Section 3.4 shall be treated as a non-taxable adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the Parties for all applicable Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax Law after the date of this Agreement or a final determination within the meaning of section 1313(a)(1) of the Code.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that it is aware, and that the Company’s Representatives are aware, or upon receipt of any material nonpublic information will be advised, of the restrictions imposed by Laws on a Person possessing material nonpublic information about a publicly traded company. The Company hereby agrees that, while it is in possession of such material nonpublic information, it shall not purchase or sell any securities of Acquiror (other than engaging in the transactions described herein), communicate such information to any third party, take any other action with respect to Acquiror in violation of such Laws, or cause or encourage any third party to do any of the foregoing.

Section 7.8. 280G Approval. To the extent that any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that could be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), the Company will: (a) no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit and obtain from each such “disqualified individual” a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that any remaining payments and/or benefits shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder); and (b) no later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (a) above, submit to a vote of holders of the equity interests of the Company entitled to vote on such matters, in the manner required under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, along with adequate disclosure intended to satisfy such requirements (including Q&A 7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such regulations), the right of any such “disqualified individual” to receive the Waived 280G Benefits.

No later than seven (7) business days prior to soliciting the waivers, the Company shall provide Acquiror with the calculations and related documentation to determine whether and to what extent the vote described in this ‎Section 7.8 is necessary in order to avoid the imposition of Taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. In connection with the foregoing, Acquiror shall provide the Company with all information reasonably necessary to allow the Company to determine whether any payments made or to be made or benefits granted or to be granted pursuant to any employment agreement or other agreement, arrangement or contract entered into or negotiated by Acquiror or its Affiliates (“Purchaser Payments”), together with all Section 280G payments, could reasonably be considered to be “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (and shall further provide any such updated information as is reasonably necessary prior to the Closing Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Section 7.8 or otherwise in this Agreement, to the extent Acquiror has provided inaccurate information, or the Acquiror’s omission of information has resulted in inaccurate information, with respect to any Purchaser Payments, and such inaccurate information is not corrected prior to the Closing, there shall be no breach of the covenant contained herein or the representation set forth in Section 5.13(f) above to the extent caused by such inaccurate or omitted information. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror evidence that a vote of the Company Interest Holders was solicited in accordance with the foregoing and whether the requisite number of votes was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits or that the vote did not pass and the Waived 280G Benefits will not be paid or retained.

Section 9.8. Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Acquiror agrees that (i) all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the managers and officers of the Company, as provided in a Company’s Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date of this Agreement and set forth on ‎Section 9.8 of the Company Disclosure Letter, in either case, solely with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Closing, shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing for a period of six (6) years, and (ii) the Company will perform and discharge all obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation during such six (6) year period. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6) year period, the Company shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Company’s Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6) year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time prior to the Closing, were managers or officers of the Company (the “D&O Persons”) to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring prior to Closing and relating to the fact that such D&O Person was a director or officer of the Company prior to the Closing, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may, at its option, enter into customary indemnification agreements with its existing managers and officers in a form reasonably acceptable to Acquiror, and Acquiror agrees that any such indemnification agreements shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing in accordance with their terms.

(b) None of Acquiror or the Company shall have any obligation under this ‎Section 9.8 to any D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) The Company shall purchase, at its option and at or prior to the Closing, and Acquiror shall cause the Company to maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Company as of the date hereof (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”). Any such Company D&O Tail Policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror shall purchase a prepaid “tail” policy (an “Acquiror D&O Tail Policy”) with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of Acquiror as of the date hereof, which Acquiror D&O Tail Policy shall be on the same or substantially similar terms agreed to for such tail policy by Acquiror in connection with its initial public offering. If Acquiror elects to purchase such an Acquiror D&O Tail Policy prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror will maintain such Acquiror D&O Tail Policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six (6) years after the Closing Date and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(e) If Acquiror, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of Acquiror or the Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this ‎Section 9.8 unless otherwise assumed by operation of Law.

(f) The D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this ‎Section 9.8 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this ‎Section 9.8. This ‎Section 9.8 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Acquiror and the Company. The rights of each D&O Person hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Person may have under the Governing Documents of the Company, any other indemnification arrangement, any applicable Law or otherwise.

Section 9.9. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and Acquiror shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any dispositions of securities of the Company or the Acquiror (including, in each case, securities deliverable upon exercise, vesting or settlement of any derivative securities) resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby by each individual who may become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to be exempt under Rule B-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 9.10. Employment Agreements. At the Closing, the Surviving Company and Surviving Pubco shall work in good faith to assign or cause to be assigned the Amended Employment Agreement to Surviving Pubco.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Company further acknowledges that, as described in its final prospectus filed with the SEC (File No. 333-258158) (the “Prospectus”), substantially all of Acquiror assets consist of the cash proceeds of Acquiror’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account for the benefit of Acquiror, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of Acquiror’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company acknowledges that it has been advised by Acquiror that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Acquiror to pay its income Tax, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (i) if Acquiror completes the transactions which constitute a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus; (ii) if Acquiror fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, to Acquiror in limited amounts to permit Acquiror to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to Acquiror’s public shareholders; and (iii) if Acquiror holds a shareholder vote to amend Acquiror’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to redeem 100% of the Acquiror Ordinary Shares if Acquiror fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period, then for the redemption of any Acquiror Ordinary Shares properly tendered in connection with such vote. For and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Acquiror; provided that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Acquiror for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for Acquiror to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Acquiror Share Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Acquiror’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Acquiror Share Redemptions and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Acquiror’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

Section 12.2. Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, by action taken by its board of directors, board of managers, managing member or other officers or Persons thereunto duly authorized, (a) extend the time for the performance of the obligations or acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties (of another party hereto) that are contained in this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other parties hereto with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement, but such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver.

Section 4.2 Common Stock.

(a) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by the DGCL, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, as such, and Class V Common Stock, as such, shall vote together as one class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by the DGCL, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote and each holder of Class V Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Class V Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation, including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock (each hereinafter referred to as a “Preferred Stock Designation”), that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation).

(b) Dividends. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividends to the extent permitted by law when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”). Except as otherwise provided under this Certificate of Incorporation, dividends and other distributions shall not be declared or paid in respect of Class V Common Stock.

(c) Liquidation. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them. Holders of shares of Class V Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive any assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 4.3 Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Subject to limitations prescribed by law and the provisions of this Article (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the Board is hereby authorized to provide by resolution and by causing the filing of a Preferred Stock Designation for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of each such series.

Section 4.4 No Class Vote on Changes in Authorized Number of Shares of Stock. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

Section 4.5 No Redemption; Cancellation. The Common Stock is not redeemable. One share of Class V Common Stock will be automatically cancelled upon the exchange of a Class B Unit (as defined herein) for a share of Class A Common Stock (or payment of the cash equivalent in respect thereof) on and subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Rubicon Technologies, LLC (“Rubicon LLC”), as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated from time to time (the “LLC Agreement”).

Section 4.6 No Preemptive, Subscription or Conversion Rights. No holder of shares of Common Stock, solely by virtue of such holder’s status as such, shall be entitled to preemptive, subscription or conversion rights.

Section 4.7 Exchange.

(a) Rubicon LLC has issued units designated as “Class A Units” (each, a “Class A Unit”) and “Class B Units” (each, a “Class B Unit”) pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the LLC Agreement. Each holder of Class B Units is referred to herein as a “Class B Holder.”

(b) Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement, each Class B Holder has the right to surrender a Class B Unit to Rubicon LLC (at which point one share of Class V Common Stock held by such Class B Holder will be automatically cancelled pursuant to Section 4.5 of this Certificate of Incorporation), in exchange for the issuance of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock (or payment of the cash equivalent in respect thereof) on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the LLC Agreement.

Section 4.8 Retirement of Class V Common Stock. If any outstanding share of Class V Common Stock shall cease to be held by a concurrent holder of a Class B Unit (including a transferee of a Class B Unit), such share shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class V Common Stock be cancelled.

Section 4.9 Further Issuances of Class V Common Stock. No shares of Class V Common Stock shall be issued at any time after the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation except to a Class B Holder in a number necessary to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class B Units and the number of shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding.

Section 4.10 Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting Exchanges (as defined in the LLC Agreement), such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be deliverable under the LLC Agreement to effect any such Exchanges.

Section 4.11 Protective Provisions. Until such time as less than [●] shares of Class V Common Stock (such number to be adjusted to account for any division (by stock split, subdivision, exchange, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise), combination (by reverse stock split, exchange, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of this Certificate of Incorporation) remain outstanding, the Corporation will not, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, amend, alter, repeal or waive Section 4.7, Section 4.10, this Section 4.11 or Section 4.12 (or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith), without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any other vote required by the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation’s Bylaws, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Bylaws”).

Section 4.12 Reclassifications, Mergers and Other Transactions.

(a) If the Corporation in any manner subdivides, combines or reclassifies the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other such class shall, concurrently therewith, be subdivided, combined or reclassified in the same proportion and manner such that the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification is preserved, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class V Common Stock, each of (i) and (ii) voting as separate classes. In the event of any such subdivision, combination or reclassification, the Corporation shall cause Rubicon LLC to make corresponding changes to the Class A Units and Class B Units to give effect to such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(b) The Corporation shall not consolidate, merge, combine or consummate any other transaction in which shares of Class A Common Stock are exchanged for or converted into other stock or securities, or the right to receive cash and/or any other property, unless in connection with any such consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction each share of Class V Common Stock together with one Class B Unit shall be entitled to be exchanged for or converted into the same kind and amount of stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, as the case may be, it would have been entitled to had it been exchanged into Class A Common Stock pursuant to the LLC Agreement immediately before such consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction (assuming for purposes of this determination that the Class B Holder was entitled to make such exchange). The consideration for each share of Class V Common Stock together with one Class B Unit shall be deemed to satisfy the immediately preceding sentence, so long as any differences in the kind and amount of stock or securities, cash and/or any other property are intended (as determined by the Board in good faith) to maintain the relative voting power of each share of Class V Common Stock relative to each share of Class A Common Stock; provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.12(b) shall not apply to any action or transaction (including any consolidation, merger or combination) approved by (A) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and (B) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class V Common Stock, each of (A) and (B) voting as separate classes.

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 5.1 Number. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of ‎‎Article IV hereof (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the Board shall consist of such number of directors as shall be determined from time to time solely by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then authorized.

Section 5.2 Classification.

(a) Except as may be otherwise provided with respect to directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof (including any Preferred Stock Designation) (the “Preferred Stock Directors”), the Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors shall initially serve until the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial effectiveness of this Section 5.2; Class II directors shall initially serve until the second annual meeting of stockholders following the initial effectiveness of this Section 5.2; and Class III directors shall initially serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders following the initial effectiveness of this Section 5.2. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial effectiveness of this Section 5.2, directors of each class the term of which shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a three-year term and until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office. In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors (other than Preferred Stock Directors), the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III, with such assignment becoming effective as of the initial effectiveness of this Section 5.2.

(b) Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, and unless otherwise required by law, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors and any vacancies in the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. Any director so chosen 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 have been duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(c) Any director, or the entire Board, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least 66⅔% of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

(d) During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the right to elect additional directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof (including any Preferred Stock Designation), and upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such number of directors that the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have a right to elect, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions; and (ii) each Preferred Stock Director shall serve until such Preferred Stock Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof (including any Preferred Stock Designation), whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to said provisions, the terms of office of all Preferred Stock Directors elected by the holders of such Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such Preferred Stock Director shall cease to be qualified as a director and shall cease to be a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be automatically reduced accordingly.

Section 5.3 Powers. Except as otherwise required by the DGCL or as provided in this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board.

Section 5.4 Election; Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Section 6.2 Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law, and except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of ‎Article IV hereof (including any Preferred Stock Designation), a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called at any time only by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, or the Chief Executive Officer.

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) shall fix. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.2 Special Meeting. Special meetings of stockholders may be called only in the manner set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock (each hereinafter referred to as a “Preferred Stock Designation”).

Section 2.3 Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.

(a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, notice of the place, if any, date and time of the meeting of stockholders, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and, if the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communications, the means for accessing the list of stockholders contemplated by ‎Section 2.5 of these Bylaws, shall be given. The notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or these Bylaws. In the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called also shall be set forth in the notice.

(b) Except as otherwise required by law, notice may be given in writing directed to a stockholder’s mailing address as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given: (i) if mailed, when notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid; and (ii) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address.

(c) So long as the Corporation is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules set forth in Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), notice shall be given in the manner required by such rules. To the extent permitted by such rules, notice may be given by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, and if so given, shall be given when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited by Section 232(e) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”). If notice is given by electronic mail, such notice shall comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 232(a) and 232(d) of the DGCL.

(e) An affidavit that notice has been given, executed by the Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”), Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the notice in the absence of fraud. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders who share an address if notice is given in accordance with the “householding” rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Exchange Act and Section 233 of the DGCL.

(f) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, if any, date and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders 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; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a 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 of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with ‎Section 7.6(a), 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 2.4 Organization.

(a) Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”), or in his or her absence, by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation (the “Chief Executive Officer”) or, in his or her absence, by another person designated by the Board of Directors. The Secretary, or in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries, a person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint, shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep a record of the proceedings thereof.

(b) The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders shall vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be announced at the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the meeting shall have the authority to adopt and enforce such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders and the safety of those in attendance as, in the judgment of the chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the conduct of the meeting. Rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, establishing: (i) an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall permit; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (v) limitations on the time allotted for consideration of each agenda item and for questions and comments by participants; (vi) regulations for the opening and closing of the polls for balloting and matters which are to be voted on by ballot (if any); and (vii) procedures (if any) requiring attendees to provide the Corporation advance notice of their intent to attend the meeting. Subject to any rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the meeting may convene and, for any or no reason, from time to time, adjourn and/or recess any meeting of stockholders pursuant to ‎Section 2.7. The chairman of the meeting, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall have the power to declare that a nomination or other business was not properly brought before the meeting if the facts warrant (including if a determination is made, pursuant to ‎Section 2.10(c)(i) of these Bylaws, that a nomination or other business was not made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with ‎Section 2.10 of these Bylaws), and if such chairman should so declare, such nomination shall be disregarded or such other business shall not be transacted.

Section 2.5 List of Stockholders. The Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date. Such list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and shall show the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing in this ‎Section 2.5 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 at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting; or (b) 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 a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also 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 the meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this ‎Section 2.5 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or these Bylaws, at any meeting of stockholders, a majority of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the stock of such class or series or classes or series outstanding and entitled to vote on that matter, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to such matter. If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, then the chairman of the meeting, or a majority of the voting power of the stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, shall have power to adjourn or recess the meeting from time to time in accordance with ‎Section 2.7, until a quorum is present or represented. Subject to applicable law, if a quorum initially is present at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment or recess, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, but if a quorum is not present at least initially, no business other than adjournment or recess may be transacted.

Section 2.7 Adjourned or Recessed Meeting. Any annual or special meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned or recessed for any or no reason from time to time by the chairman of the meeting, subject to any rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to ‎Section 2.4(b). Any such meeting may be adjourned for any or no reason (and may be recessed if a quorum is not present or represented) from time to time by a majority of the voting power of the stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. At any such adjourned or recessed meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

Section 2.8 Voting; Proxies.

(a) Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), each holder of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock held of record by such holder that has voting power upon the subject matter in question.

(b) Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), these Bylaws or any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, at each meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present, all corporate actions to be taken by vote of the stockholders shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter, and where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, if a quorum of such class or series or classes or series is present, such act shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the stock of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.

(c) Every stockholder entitled to vote for directors, or on any other matter, shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more persons authorized 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. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or an executed new proxy bearing a later date.

Section 2.9 [Submission of Information by Director Nominees.]

(a) To be eligible to be a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation the following information:

(i) a written representation and agreement, which shall be signed by such person and pursuant to which such person shall represent and agree that such person: (A) consents to serving as a director if elected and to being named in the Corporation’s proxy statement and form of proxy as a nominee, and currently intends to serve as a director for the full term for which such person is standing for election; (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity: (1) as to how the person, if elected as a director, will act or vote on any issue or question that has not been disclosed to the Corporation; or (2) that could limit or interfere with the person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; (C) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director or nominee that has not been disclosed to the Corporation; and (D) if elected as a director, will comply with all of the Corporation’s corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines, and any other Corporation policies and guidelines applicable to directors (which will be promptly provided following a request therefor); and

(ii) all completed and signed questionnaires prepared by the Corporation (including those questionnaires required of the Corporation’s directors and any other questionnaire the Corporation determines is necessary or advisable to assess whether a nominee will satisfy any qualifications or requirements imposed by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any law, rule, regulation or listing standard that may be applicable to the Corporation, and the Corporation’s corporate governance policies and guidelines) (all of the foregoing, “Questionnaires”). The Questionnaires will be promptly provided following a request therefor.

(b) A nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation shall also provide to the Corporation such other information as it may reasonably request. The Corporation may request such additional information as necessary to permit the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such person to serve as a director of the Corporation, including information relevant to a determination whether such person can be considered an independent director.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, if a stockholder has submitted notice of an intent to nominate a candidate for election or re-election as a director pursuant to ‎Section 2.10, the Questionnaires described in ‎Section 2.9(a)(ii) above and the additional information described in ‎Section 2.9(b) above shall be considered timely if provided to the Corporation promptly upon request by the Corporation, but in any event within five business days after such request, and all information provided pursuant to this ‎Section 2.9 shall be deemed part of the stockholder’s notice submitted pursuant to ‎Section 2.10.

Section 2.10 Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

(a) Annual Meeting.

(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business other than nominations to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only: (A) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto); (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any authorized committee thereof); or (C) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this ‎Section 2.10(a) is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this ‎Section 2.10(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause ‎(C) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or propose other business at an annual meeting of stockholders (other than a proposal included in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act).

(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause ‎(C) of the foregoing paragraph, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and, in the case of business other than nominations, such business must be a proper subject for stockholder action.

In no event shall an adjournment or recess of an annual meeting, or a postponement of an annual meeting for which notice of the meeting has already been given to stockholders or a public announcement of the meeting date has already been made, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. The number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at the annual meeting on behalf of the beneficial owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting. For purposes of this ‎Section 2.10, the [●] annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to have been held on [●]. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth:

(A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director: (1) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act; and (2) the information required to be submitted by nominees pursuant to ‎Section 2.9(a) above;

(C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made or the other business is proposed:

(1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and the name and address of such beneficial owner;

(2) the class or series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner as of the date of the notice, and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing within five business days after the record date for such meeting of the class or series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record by the stockholder and such beneficial owner as of the record date for the meeting; and

(3) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including, without limitation, any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the stockholder’s notice by, or on behalf of, such stockholder, beneficial owner or control person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss, manage risk or benefit from changes in the share price of any class or series of the Corporation’s stock, or maintain, increase or decrease the voting power of the stockholder, beneficial owner or control person with respect to securities of the Corporation, and a representation that the stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing within five business days after the record date for such meeting of any such agreement, arrangement or understanding in effect as of the record date for the meeting; and

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in ‎Section 2.10(a)(ii) above or ‎Section 2.10(b) below to the contrary, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders is different from the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this ‎Section 2.10 shall set forth a representation that the stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing within five business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, or by the opening of business on the date of the meeting (whichever is earlier), of the information required under clauses ‎(ii)‎(C)‎(2) and ‎(ii)‎(D)‎(1)-‎(3) of this ‎Section 2.10(a), and such information when provided to the Corporation shall be current as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

(iv) This ‎Section 2.10(a) shall not apply to a proposal proposed to be made by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present the proposal at an annual or special meeting only pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and such proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such meeting.

(v) Notwithstanding anything in this ‎Section 2.10(a) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for directors or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 10 days prior to the last day a stockholder may deliver a notice in accordance with ‎Section 2.10(a)(ii) above, a stockholder’s notice required by this ‎Section 2.10(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

Indemnification under this ‎Section 6.3 shall not be subject to satisfaction of a standard of conduct, and the Corporation may not assert the failure to satisfy a standard of conduct as a basis to deny indemnification or recover amounts advanced, including in a suit brought pursuant to ‎Section 6.4 (notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein); provided, however, that, any Indemnitee who is not a current or former director or officer (as such term is defined in the final sentence of Section 145(c)(1) of the DGCL) shall be entitled to indemnification under ‎‎Section 6.1 and this ‎‎Section 6.3 only if such Indemnitee has satisfied the standard of conduct required for indemnification under Section 145(a) or Section 145(b) of the DGCL.

Section 6.4 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. In the event that a determination is made that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or if payment is not timely made following a determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to ‎Section 6.1(b), if a request for indemnification under ‎Section 6.3 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written request has been received by the Secretary, or if an Advancement of Expenses is not timely made under ‎Section 6.2(b), the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware seeking an adjudication of entitlement to such indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. 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 be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in Section 145(a) or Section 145(b) of the DGCL. Further, 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 Adjudication that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in Section 145(a) or Section 145(b) of 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, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including 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, 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 brought 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 applicable law, this ‎Article VI or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Section 6.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Priority. The rights conferred in this ‎Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, provisions of a certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or otherwise. The Corporation hereby acknowledges that certain Indemnitees may have rights to indemnification and advancement (directly or through insurance) provided by one or more third parties with which they are associated, and which may include third parties for whom the Indemnitees serve as a manager, member, officer, employee or agent (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”). The Corporation hereby agrees and acknowledges that notwithstanding any such rights that an Indemnitee may have with respect to any Other Indemnitors: (a) the Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any Proceedings or amounts that are the subject of the Corporation’s indemnification and advancement obligations under this ‎Article VI; (b) the Corporation shall be required to indemnify and advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Indemnitees, to the fullest extent required by law, these Bylaws, any agreement to which the Corporation is a party, any vote of the stockholders or the Board of Directors, or otherwise, without regard to any rights the Indemnitees may have against the Other Indemnitors; and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors with respect to any claim for which the Indemnitees have sought payment from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of any such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitees against the Corporation. These rights shall be a contract right, and the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this ‎Section 6.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Corporation under this ‎Section 6.5 shall only apply to Indemnitees in their capacity as Indemnitees.

Section 6.6 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and 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.

Section 6.7 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, and to the extent authorized from time to time, grant rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation.

Section 6.8 Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon Indemnitees in this ‎Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this ‎Article VI that adversely affects any right of an Indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any Proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

Section 6.9 Settlement of Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this ‎Article VI to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any Indemnitee under this ‎Article VI for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 6.10 Subrogation. In the event of payment under this ‎Article VI, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee (excluding insurance obtained on the Indemnitee’s own behalf), and the Indemnitee shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

Section 6.11 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this ‎Article VI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this ‎Article VI (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this ‎Article VI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities or circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this ‎Article VI (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this ‎Article VI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent of the parties that the Corporation provide protection to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent set forth in this ‎Article VI.

Article VII
CAPITAL STOCK

Section 7.1 Certificates of Stock. The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the Corporation by any two authorized officers of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, the Controller, the Secretary, or an Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the Corporation. Any or all such signatures may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 7.2 Special Designation on Certificates. If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the registered owner thereof shall be given a notice, in writing or by electronic transmission, containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to this ‎Section 7.2 or Sections 151, 156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL or with respect to this ‎Section 7.2 and Section 151 of the DGCL a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

Section 7.3 Transfers of Stock. Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation upon authorization by the registered holder thereof or by such holder’s attorney thereunto authorized by a power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or a transfer agent for such stock, and if such shares are represented by a certificate, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed stock transfer power and the payment of any taxes thereon; provided, however, that the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize and enforce any lawful restriction on transfer. Transfers may also be made in any manner authorized by the Corporation (or its authorized transfer agent) and permitted by Section 224 of the DGCL.

Section 7.4 Lost Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new share certificate or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or the owner’s legal representative to give the Corporation a bond (or other adequate security) sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it (including any expense or liability) on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares. The Board of Directors may adopt such other provisions and restrictions with reference to lost certificates, not inconsistent with applicable law, as it shall in its discretion deem appropriate.

Section 7.5 Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise required by law.

Section 7.6 Record Date for Determining Stockholders.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors 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 of Directors 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 of Directors, 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 day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the 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 adjourned meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at 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 herewith 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 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 of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 days prior to such action. If no such 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 of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 7.7 Regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation.

Section 7.8 Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Article VIII

Each Member further represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor, able and accustomed to handling sophisticated financial matters for itself, and that it has a sufficiently high net worth that it does not anticipate a need for the funds that it has invested in the Company in what it understands to be a speculative and illiquid investment.

(d) Survival of Representations and Warranties.

Any additional Units may be issued in one or more classes or one or more series of any of such classes with such designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, rights to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption (including rights that may be senior or otherwise entitled to preference over existing Units) as shall be determined by the Company (each, a “Unit Designation”). Upon the issuance of any additional Unit, the Managing Member shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Company as appropriate to reflect such issuance. Except to the extent specifically set forth in any Unit Designation, a Unit of any class or series other than a Common Unit shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote on, or consent to, any matter.

(d) No Preemptive Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any Unit Designation, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any Unit.

Section 2.5 Additional Funds and Additional Capital Contributions

(a) General. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, determine that it requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Assets, for the redemption of Units, or for such other purposes as the Company may determine. Additional Funds may be obtained by the Company in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this ‎‎Section 2.5 without the approval of any Member or any other Person.

(b) Additional Capital Contributions. The Company may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting Capital Contributions from any Members or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution, the Company is hereby authorized from time to time to issue additional Units (as set forth in ‎Section 2.4) in consideration for such Capital Contribution.

(c) Loans by Third Parties. The Company may obtain any Additional Funds by incurring Debt payable to any Person upon such terms as the Company determines appropriate, including making such Debt convertible, redeemable, or exchangeable for Units; provided, however, that the Company shall not incur any such Debt if any Member would be personally liable for the repayment of all or any portion of such Debt unless that Member otherwise agrees in writing.

(d) Issuance of Securities by the Managing Member. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Members, after the completion of the SPAC Transaction, except in the case of a Liquidity Offering for purposes of a Cash Settlement, the Managing Member shall not issue any additional Capital Stock or New Securities unless (1) such Capital Stock or New Securities are issued in accordance with the Incentive Compensation Plan of the Managing Member to an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (2) the Managing Member contributes the net proceeds received from the issuance of such additional Capital Stock or New Securities (as the case may be) and from the exercise of the rights contained in any such additional Capital Stock or New Securities to the Company in exchange for (i) in the case of an issuance of Class A Common Stock, Class A Units, (ii) in the case of an issuance of Class V Common Stock, Class B Units, or (iii) in the case of an issuance of Preferred Stock or New Securities, Equivalent Units. If at any time any Preferred Stock or New Securities are issued that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock or another security of the Managing Member, then upon any such conversion or exercise, the corresponding Equivalent Unit shall be similarly converted or exercised, as applicable, and an equivalent number of Class A Units or other Equivalent Units shall be issued to the Managing Member. It is the intent of the parties that the Managing Member will always maintain a one-to-one ratio of Units to its outstanding Capital Stock (other than Class V Common Stock), except as provided pursuant to ‎Section 11.4, and the parties hereby acknowledge that the Managing Member may undertake all actions, subject to applicable Law and the terms of any such outstanding Capital Stock, in order to maintain such ratio.

(e) Reimbursement of Issuance Expenses. If the Managing Member issues additional Capital Stock or New Securities and contributes the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received from such issuance to the Company pursuant to Section 2.5(d), the Company shall reimburse or assume (on an after-tax basis) the Managing Member’s expenses associated with such issuance.

(f) Repurchase or Redemption of Capital Stock. If any shares of Capital Stock, or New Securities are repurchased, redeemed or otherwise retired (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the Managing Member, then the Managing Member shall cause the Company, immediately before such repurchase, redemption or retirement of such Capital Stock or New Securities, to redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire a corresponding number of Class A Units, Class B Units, or Equivalent Units held by the Managing Member, upon the same terms and for the same consideration as the Capital Stock or New Securities to be repurchased, redeemed, or retired.

Article III

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 3.1 Distributions Generally.

Except as otherwise provided in this ‎Article III and subject to the terms of any Unit Designation, the Company shall distribute an amount of Available Cash if, when, and as determined by the Managing Member to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Units.

Section 3.2 Tax Distributions.

(a) Generally. If the amount distributed to a Designated Member pursuant to ‎Section 3.1 in respect of a Fiscal Year is less than that Member’s Assumed Tax Liability, the Company shall distribute an amount of Available Cash to the Members such that the Designated Member with the highest Assumed Tax Liability receives distributions of Available Cash in respect of each Fiscal Year in an amount at least equal to such Member’s Assumed Tax Liability for such Fiscal Year (each such distribution, a “Tax Distribution”). Any Tax Distribution made to a Member shall be treated as an advance against, and shall reduce, future amounts otherwise distributable to such Member under ‎Section 3.1 or ‎Section 9.3(a). Except as provided in ‎Section 3.2(d) and subject to any Unit Designation, all Tax Distributions shall be made to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Units.

(b) Calculation of Assumed Tax Liability. For purposes of calculating the amount of each Member’s Tax Distributions under ‎Section 3.2(a), a Designated Member’s “Assumed Tax Liability” means an amount equal to the product of:

(i) the sum of (A) the net taxable income and gain allocated to that Member for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the Fiscal Year, and (B) to the extent (x) determined by the Company in its sole discretion and (y) attributable to the Company, the amount the Member is required to include in income by reason of Code sections 707(c) (but not including guaranteed payments for services within the meaning of Code section 707(c)), 951(a), and 951A(a); multiplied by

(ii) the highest combined effective U.S. federal, state, and local marginal rate of tax applicable to an individual resident in the U.S. (as reasonably determined by the Company) for the Fiscal Year (such tax rate, the “Assumed Tax Rate”).

The calculation required by this ‎Section 3.2(b) shall be made by (i) taking into account (x) the character of the income or gain and (y) any limitations on the use of deductions or credits allocable with respect to the Fiscal Year and (ii) disregarding the effect of any special basis adjustments under Code section 743(b). In addition, the Company shall increase a Designated Member’s Assumed Tax Liability to the extent the Company reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate as a result of any differences between U.S. federal income tax law and the tax laws of other jurisdictions in which the Company has a taxable presence. The Company shall calculate the amount of any increase described in the preceding sentence by applying the principles of Section 3.2(b)(i) and (ii)replacing the words “U.S. federal” with a reference to the applicable jurisdiction.

(c) Timing of Tax Distributions. If reasonably practicable, the Company shall make distributions of the estimated Tax Distributions in respect of a Fiscal Year on a quarterly basis to facilitate the payment of quarterly estimated income taxes, taking into account amounts previously distributed by reason of this ‎Section 3.2. Not later than sixty (60) Business Days after the end of the Fiscal Year, the Company shall make a final Tax Distribution in an amount sufficient to fulfill the Company’s obligations under ‎Section 3.2(a).

(d) Impact of Insufficient Available Cash. If the amount of Tax Distributions to be made exceeds the amount of the Available Cash, the Tax Distribution for each Member that would otherwise be made under Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.2 (b) shall be reduced in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(d) (the amount of the reduction in each Member’s share, the “Tax Distribution Shortfall Amount”), and Available Cash shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

(i) First, to the Managing Member in an amount equal to the full amount of its Tax Distribution, but calculated by substituting the words “a corporation doing business” for “an individual resident” in the definition of “Assumed Tax Rate”;

(ii) Second, to the Members other than the Managing Member pro rata in accordance with their Units in an amount such that the Designated Member with the highest Assumed Tax Liability has received distributions pursuant to this ‎Section 3.2(d)(ii) that is not less than their Assumed Tax Liability (calculated by substituting the words “a corporation doing business” for “an individual resident” in the definition of “Assumed Tax Rate”); and

(iii) Third, to the Members (including the Managing Member) pro rata in accordance with their Units until each Member has received the full amount of its Tax Distribution calculated in accordance with ‎Section 3.2(b).

Any Tax Distribution Shortfall Amounts will be carried forward to subsequent Fiscal Years and will be distributed when and to the extent that the Company has sufficient Available Cash. The distribution of any Tax Distribution Shortfall Amounts to a Member shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Tax Distribution and shall be treated as an advance against, and shall reduce, future amounts otherwise distributable to such Member under ‎Section 3.1 or ‎Section 9.3(a).

(e) No Tax Distributions on Liquidation. No Tax Distributions shall be made (i) in connection with the liquidation of the Company or a Member’s Units in the Company or (ii) solely by reason of any income or gain arising as a result of any Exchange, redemption, or Transfer of a Member’s Units in the Company.

Section 3.3 Distributions in Kind. No Member may demand to receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The Company may make a distribution in kind of Assets to the Members, and if a distribution is made both in cash and in kind, such distribution shall be made so that, to the fullest extent practical, the percentage of the cash and any other Assets distributed to each Member entitled to such distribution is identical.

Section 3.4 Distributions to Reflect Additional Units. If the Company issues additional Units pursuant to the provisions of ‎Article II, subject to the provisions of any Unit Designation, the Managing Member is authorized to make such revisions to this ‎Article III and to ‎Annex C as it determines are reasonably necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional Units, including making preferential distributions to certain classes of Units.

Section 3.5 Other Distribution Rules.

(a) Transfers. From and after the Transfer of a Unit, for purposes of determining the rights to distributions (including Tax Distributions) under this Agreement, distributions (including Tax Distributions) made to the transferor Member, along with any withholding or deduction in respect of any such distribution, shall be treated as having been made to the transferee unless otherwise determined by the Company.

(b) Record Date for Distributions. The Company may designate a Record Date for purposes of calculating and giving effect to distributions. All distributions shall be made to the holders of record as of the applicable Record Date.

(c) Over-Distributions. If the amount of any distribution to a Member under the Agreement exceeds the amount to which the Member in entitled (e.g., by reason of an accounting error), the Member shall, upon written notice of the over-distribution delivered to the Member within one year of the over-distribution, promptly return the amount of such over-distribution to the Company.

(d) Reimbursements of Preformation Capital Expenditures. To the extent a distribution (or deemed distribution resulting from a reduction in a Member’s share of Company liabilities for federal tax purposes) otherwise would be treated as proceeds in a sale under Code section 707(a)(2)(B), the Members intend such actual or deemed distribution to reimburse preformation capital expenditures under Treas. Reg. § 1.707-4(d) to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

(e) Limitation on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member to the extent such distribution would violate the Act or other Law or would result in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries being in default under any material agreement.

Article IV

(d) Bankruptcy. Only the Managing Member may commence a voluntary case on behalf of, or an involuntary case against, the Company under a chapter of Title 11 U.S.C. by the filing of a “petition” (as defined in 11 U.S.C. 101(42)) with the United States Bankruptcy Court. Any such petition filed by any other Member, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, shall be deemed an unauthorized and bad faith filing, and all parties to this Agreement shall use their best efforts to cause such petition to be dismissed.

(e) Amendment of Agreement. All amendments to this Agreement must be approved by the Managing Member. Subject to the rights of any Member set forth in a Unit Designation and ‎Section 4.1(f) and ‎Section 4.1(g), the Managing Member shall have the power, without the consent or approval of any Member, to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:

(i) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1(e) or Article X to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be amended, and no action may be taken by the Managing Member or the Company without the consent of any Member holding Common Units that would be adversely affected by such amendment or action. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, for purposes of this ‎Section 4.1(f)(i), the Members holding Common Units will be deemed to be adversely affected by an amendment or action that would (A) adversely alter the rights of any Member to receive the distributions to which such Member is entitled pursuant to ‎Article III or ‎Section 9.3(a)(iii), (B) convert the Company into a corporation or cause the Company to be classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes (other than in connection with a Termination Transaction), or (C) amend this ‎Section 4.1(f)(i).

If some, but not all, of the Members consent to such an amendment or action, the Company may, in its discretion, make such amendment or action effective only as to the Members that consented to it, to the extent it is practicable to do so.

(ii) This Agreement shall not be amended, and no action may be taken by the Managing Member without the consent of any Member holding Common Units that would be adversely affected by such amendment or action if such amendment or action would (A) modify the limited liability of a Member or increase the obligation of a Member to make a Capital Contribution to the Company or (B) amend this ‎Section 4.1(f)(ii).

(g) Implementation of Amendments. Upon obtaining any Consent required under this Section 4.1 or otherwise required by this Agreement, and without further action or execution by any other Person, including any Member, (i) any amendment to this Agreement may be implemented and reflected in a writing executed solely by the Managing Member, and (ii) the Members shall be deemed a party to and bound by that amendment of this Agreement.

Any transferee of all or a portion of a Unit (whether or not admitted as a Substituted Member) shall take subject to and assume, by operation of Law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Unit. No Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation pursuant to which all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Member are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of Law) shall relieve the transferor Member of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the Managing Member.

(iii) No Rights as Member. No transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of Law or otherwise, shall have any rights under this Agreement unless admitted as a Substituted Member.

(b) Transfers by the Managing Member.

(i) Consent of Members. The Managing Member may not Transfer any of its Units without the consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Members, except in connection with an Applicable Sale or Termination Transaction or to a wholly owned subsidiary in accordance with ‎Section 7.2(b)(ii).

(ii) Transfer to Subsidiary. Subject to compliance with the other provisions of this ‎Article VII, the Managing Member may Transfer all of its Units at any time to any Person that is, at the time of such Transfer, a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Managing Member without the consent of any Member and may designate the transferee to become the new Managing Member for all purposes of this Agreement.

(i) Based on the advice of nationally recognized tax counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, including each Company Counsel), such Transfer would create a material risk of the Company being classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal, state, or local income tax purposes;

(ii) That the Transfer would be to any Person or entity that lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Unit;

(iii) That the Transfer would be in violation of Law;

(iv) That the Transfer would be of any fractional or component portion of a Unit, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Unit;

(v) That the Transfer would create a material risk that the Company would become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified Person” (as defined in Code section 4975(c));

(vi) Based on the advice of counsel, that the Transfer would create a material risk that any portion of the Assets would constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Reg. § 2510.2-101;

(vii) Based on the advice of counsel, that the Transfer would require the registration of such Unit pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities Laws;

(viii) Based on advice of counsel, that such Transfer would create a material risk that the Company would become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; or

Section 7.3 Substituted Members.

(a) Admission as Member. A transferee of Units of a Member, other than a Related-Party Transferee, may be admitted as a Substituted Member only with the consent of the Company. A Related-Party Transferee shall be admitted as a Substituted Member without the consent of the Company, subject to compliance with ‎Section 7.3(b). The failure or refusal by the Company to permit a transferee of Units to become a Substituted Member shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Company or the Managing Member. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with this ‎Article VII shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement.

(b) Documents to Be Provided by Transferee.

(c) Amendment of Books and Records. In connection with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Member, the Managing Member or Company shall amend the Register and the books and records of the Company to reflect the name, address and number of Units of such Substituted Member and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Member.

Section 7.4 Drag-Along Rights.

(a) If at any time the Managing Member and/or its Affiliates (excluding, for purposes of this Section 7.4, the Company and its Subsidiaries) desire to Transfer in one or more transactions a sufficient portion of its and/or their Units (or any beneficial interest therein) to constitute a Change of Control to a bona fide third party that is not an Affiliate of the Managing Member (an “Applicable Sale”), the Managing Member may require each other Member either (i) to sell the same ratable share of its Units as is being sold by the Managing Member and such Affiliates (based upon the total Units held by the Managing Member and its Affiliates at such time) on the same terms and conditions and/or (ii) to exchange its Units pursuant to ‎Section 11.1(b) (each, a “Drag-Along Right”). The Managing Member may in its sole discretion elect to cause the Managing Member and/or the Company to structure the Applicable Sale as a merger or consolidation or as a sale of the Company’s Assets.

(b) No Member shall have any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with any Applicable Sale, and no Member may object to any subsequent liquidation or other distribution of the proceeds from an Applicable Sale that is a sale of Assets. Each Member agrees to consent to, and raise no objections against, an Applicable Sale. In the event of the exercise by the Managing Member of its Drag-Along Right pursuant to this Section 7.4, each Member shall take all reasonably necessary and desirable actions approved by the Managing Member in connection with the consummation of the Applicable Sale, including the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to provide customary and reasonable representations, warranties, indemnities, covenants, conditions and other agreements relating to such Applicable Sale and to otherwise effect the transaction; provided, however, that (A) such Members shall not be required to give disproportionately greater or more onerous representations, warranties, indemnities, or covenants than the Managing Member or its Affiliates, (B) such Members shall not be obligated to bear any share of the out-of-pocket expenses, costs, or fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or its Affiliates in connection with such Applicable Sale unless and to the extent that such expenses, costs, and fees were incurred for the benefit of the Company or all of its Members, (C) such Members shall not be obligated or otherwise responsible for more than their proportionate shares of any indemnities or other liabilities incurred by the Company and the Members as sellers in respect of such Applicable Sale, (D) any indemnities or other liabilities approved by the Managing Member shall be limited, in respect of each Member, to such Member’s share of the proceeds from the Applicable Sale, and (E) such Members shall not be required to enter into any non-compete agreement in connection with such Applicable Sale.

(c) At least five (5) Business Days before consummation of an Applicable Sale, the Managing Member shall (i) provide the Members written notice (the “Applicable Sale Notice”) of the Applicable Sale, which notice shall contain (A) the name and address of the third-party purchaser, (B) the proposed purchase price, terms of payment, and other material terms and conditions of the purchaser’s offer, together with a copy of any binding agreement with respect to the Applicable Sale and (C) notification of whether the Managing Member has elected to exercise its Drag-Along Right and (ii) promptly notify the Members of all proposed changes to the material terms and keep the Members reasonably informed as to all material terms relating to the Applicable Sale or contribution, and promptly deliver to the Members copies of all final material agreements relating to the Applicable Sale not already provided in accordance with this Section 7.4(c) or otherwise. The Managing Member shall provide the Members written notice of the termination of an Applicable Sale within five (5) Business Days following such termination, which notice shall state that the Applicable Sale Notice served with respect to such Applicable Sale is rescinded.

Section 7.5 Company Right to Call Units. Beginning on the date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Members (other than the Managing Member and its Subsidiaries) are less than fifteen (15) percent, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time and at any time to redeem all (but not less than all) outstanding Exchangeable Units by treating each Member as an Exchangeable Unit Member who has delivered an Elective Exchange Notice pursuant to the Policy Regarding Exchanges in respect of all of such Exchangeable Unit Member’s Exchangeable Units. The Company shall exercise this right by giving notice to an Exchangeable Unit Member stating that the Company has elected to exercise its rights under this ‎Section 7.5. The notice given by the Company to an Exchangeable Unit Member pursuant to this ‎Section 7.5 shall be treated as if it were an Elective Exchange Notice delivered to the Company by such Exchangeable Unit Member. For purposes of this ‎Section 7.5, the provisions of ‎Annex C shall apply except to the extent otherwise determined by the Company.

Section 7.6 Withdrawal.

(a) Permissible Withdrawals. Subject to any Unit Designation, no Member may withdraw from the Company other than:

(ii) Pursuant to an acquisition by the Managing Member or Subsidiary of the Managing Member of all of its Units; or

(iii) With the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) Consequences of Withdrawal. Any Member who Transfers all of its Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this ‎Article VII where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Member or (ii) to the Managing Member, whether or not pursuant to ‎Section 11.1, shall cease to be a Member but shall continue to have the obligations of a former Member that are expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.7 Restrictions on Termination Transactions.

(a) General. Except as provided in ‎Section 7.7(b), neither the Company nor the Managing Member shall engage in, or cause or permit, a Termination Transaction.

(iii) All of the following conditions are met: (1) substantially all of the Assets directly or indirectly owned by the Company before the announcement of the Termination Transaction are, immediately after the Termination Transaction, owned directly or indirectly by the Company or another limited partnership or limited liability company that is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Company (in each case, the “Surviving Company”); (2) the Surviving Company is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and each of its Subsidiaries has the same classification for U.S. federal, state, and local tax purposes immediately after the Termination Transaction that each Subsidiary had immediately before the Termination Transaction; (3) the rights of such Members with respect to the Surviving Company (including pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement) are at least as favorable as those of Members holding Units immediately before the consummation of such Termination Transaction (except to the extent that any such rights are consistent with clause (4) of this ‎Section 7.7(b)(iii)) and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Company; and (4) such rights include the right to cause their interests in the Surviving Company to be redeemed at any time or times for cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such interest at the time of redemption, as determined at least once every calendar quarter by an independent appraisal firm of recognized national standing retained by the Surviving Company.

Section 7.8 Incapacity. If a Member is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator, or receiver of such Member’s estate (a “Member Representative”) shall have the same rights as the Incapacitated Member possessed to Transfer its Units. The Incapacity of a Member, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Company. Unless a Member or Member Representative informs the Company in writing of the Member’s Incapacity, the Company shall have the right to assume each Member is not Incapacitated. The Company shall have no obligation to determine whether or not a Member is Incapacitated.

Section 7.9 Legend. Each certificate representing a Unit, if any, will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT.

THE TRANSFER AND VOTING OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE EIGHTH AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF RUBICON TECHNOLOGIES, LLC DATED AS OF [●], AMONG THE MEMBERS LISTED THEREIN, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED, SUPPLEMENTED AND/OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES WILL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES.”

Section 7.10 Encumbrance. Units shall not be subject to the claims of any creditor, spouse for alimony or support, or legal process and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered (a “Pledge Transaction”) unless (i) the Company consents in writing to the Pledge Transaction, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, (ii) there is not more than one creditor with respect to all Pledge Transactions by any one Member (each a “Permitted Lender Party”), and (iii) the creditor with respect to the Pledge Transaction is obligated, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Transaction, to satisfy the requirements of Section 7.3 of this Agreement as a transferee of Units prior to obtaining legal title or beneficial interest in the Units subject to the Pledge Transaction.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of ‎Section 9.3(a) that require liquidation of the Assets, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if before or upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s Assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may, in its sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any Assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (including to those Members as creditors) and/or distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants-in-common and in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 9.3(a), undivided interests in such Company Assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the Fair Market Value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

(ii) In the sole discretion of the Managing Member, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this ‎Article IX may be:

A) Distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Managing Member and the Members for the purpose of liquidating Company Assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Managing Member arising out of or in connection with the Company and/or Company activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement; or

B) Withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided, that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Members in the manner and order of priority set forth in ‎Section 9.3(a) as soon as practicable.

Such Consent may be in one or several instruments and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of such Members at a meeting of the Members. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified.

(d) Record Date for Meetings and Other Purposes.

(i) The Managing Member may set, in advance, a Record Date (x) for the purpose of determining the identities of the Members entitled to Consent to any action or entitled to receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the Members or (y) to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose.

Article XI

EXCHANGE RIGHTS

Section 11.1 Elective and Mandatory Exchanges.

(a) Elective Exchanges. Subject to the Policy Regarding Exchanges set forth in ‎Annex E, as amended from time to time by the Company (the “Policy Regarding Exchanges”), an Exchangeable Unit Member shall have the right, from time to time, to surrender Exchangeable Units (free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal and similar restrictions, except for those arising under this Agreement) to the Company or the Managing Member and to thereby cause the Company or the Managing Member to deliver to that Exchangeable Unit Member (or its designee) the Exchange Consideration as set forth in ‎Section 11.3 (an “Elective Exchange”).

(b) Mandatory Exchange Events. Units are subject to Mandatory Exchange in each of the following circumstances:

(i) pursuant to ‎Section 7.4, if an Applicable Sale is determined to be a Mandatory Exchange event in the sole discretion of the Managing Member;

(ii) pursuant to ‎Section 7.5; or

(iii) in the discretion of the Managing Member, with the consent of Members whose Class B Units represent fifty percent (50%) of the Class B Units of all Members in the aggregate, all Members will be required to exchange all Exchangeable Units then held by the Members.

(c) Mandatory Exchange Notices and Dates. Upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances set out in ‎Section 11.1(b), the Managing Member may exercise its right to cause a mandatory exchange of a Member’s Exchangeable Units (a “Mandatory Exchange”) by delivering to each Member a written notice pursuant to the notice provisions in Section 12.6 (a “Mandatory Exchange Notice”). A Mandatory Exchange Notice will specify the basis for the Mandatory Exchange, the Exchangeable Units of the Company to which the Mandatory Exchange applies, the Exchange Consideration and the effective date of such Mandatory Exchange (the “Mandatory Exchange Date”), which shall be no earlier than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Mandatory Exchange Notice. The Member receiving the Mandatory Exchange Notice shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the Certificates, as applicable, representing the applicable Exchangeable Units (free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal and similar restrictions, except for those arising under this Agreement) no later than one (1) Business Day before the Mandatory Exchange Date. Upon the Mandatory Exchange Date, the Company will effect the Mandatory Exchange.

Section 11.2 Additional Terms Applying to Exchanges.

(a) Rights of Exchangeable Unit Member. On an Exchange Date, all rights of the Exchangeable Unit Member as a holder of the Exchangeable Units and, if the applicable Exchangeable Units are Class B Units, shares of Class V Common Stock held by the holder of the Class B Units that are subject to the Exchange shall cease, and, unless the Company or Managing Member, as applicable, has elected Cash Settlement as to all Exchangeable Units tendered, the Managing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer agent or registrar of the Managing Member to update the stock register of the Managing Member such that such Exchangeable Unit Member (or its designee) become the record holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock to be received by the Exchangeable Unit Member in respect of such Exchange.

(b) Right of Managing Member to Acquire Exchangeable Units. With respect to Units surrendered in an Elective Exchange or subject to a Mandatory Exchange, the Managing Member shall have the right but not the obligation to have the Managing Member (in lieu of the Company) acquire Exchangeable Units and, if the applicable Exchangeable Units are Class B Units, an equivalent number of shares of Class V Common Stock held by the holder of those Class B Units directly from an Exchangeable Unit Member for the elected Exchange Consideration. If the Managing Member acquires Exchangeable Units as described in the preceding sentence, those Exchangeable Units shall be automatically recapitalized into the same number of Class A Units as the Exchangeable Units.

(c) Expenses. Except as otherwise agreed by the Company, the Managing Member and an Exchangeable Unit Member, the Company, the Managing Member, and each Exchangeable Unit Member shall bear their own expenses in connection with the consummation of any Exchange, whether or not any such Exchange is ultimately consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Managing Member (or the Company, at the Managing Member’s direction) shall bear any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, any Exchange; provided, however, that if any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Elective Exchange in a name other than that of the Exchangeable Unit Member that requested the Exchange (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such Member) or the Cash Settlement is to be paid to a Person other than the Exchangeable Unit Member that requested the Exchange, then such Member or the Person in whose name such shares are to be delivered or to whom the Cash Settlement is to be paid shall pay to the Managing Member (or the Company, at the Managing Member’s direction) the amount of any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties, or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Exchange or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Managing Member that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

Section 11.3 Exchange Consideration; Settlement.

(a) Generally. The Managing Member shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect the form of Exchange Consideration with respect to any Exchange. On an Exchange Date, provided the Exchangeable Unit Member has satisfied its obligations under the Policy Regarding Exchanges and not validly retracted such proposed Exchange, the Managing Member shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Exchange Consideration to such Exchangeable Unit Member (or its designee), at the address set forth on the applicable Exchange Notice. If the Managing Member elects a Cash Settlement, the Managing Member shall only be obligated to contribute to the Company (or, if the Managing Member elects to settle directly pursuant to ‎Section 11.2(b), settle directly for an amount equal to) an amount in respect of such Cash Settlement equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the sale by the Managing Member of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Exchangeable Units being Exchanged for such Cash Settlement. Except as otherwise required by Law, the Managing Member shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be treated as paying an appropriate portion of the selling expenses described in the previous sentence as agent for and on behalf of the Exchangeable Unit Member. Except as otherwise determined by the Managing Member, if (i) the Managing Member determines that some or all of the Exchange Consideration with respect to an Exchange will be Class A Common Stock and (ii) such Exchange would, but for this Section 11.3(a), result in the Exchangeable Unit Member’s receipt of a fractional share of Class A Common Stock, then the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be received by the Exchangeable Unit Member shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares and the amount of the reduction shall be paid as a Cash Settlement.

(b) Notice of Intended Exchange Consideration. At least two (2) Business Days before the Exchange Date, the Managing Member shall give written notice to the Company (with a copy to the Exchangeable Unit Member) of its intended Exchange Consideration. If the Managing Member does not timely deliver such written notice, the Managing Member shall be deemed to have elected to settle the Exchange with shares of Class A Common Stock.

(c) Settlement through Depository Trust Company. To the extent the Class A Common Stock is settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the Managing Member or the Company will, upon the written instruction of an Exchangeable Unit Member, deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such Exchangeable Unit Member through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such Exchangeable Unit Member in the Exchange Notice.

(d) Obligations of Managing Member and Company. Upon any Exchange, the Managing Member or the Company, as applicable, shall take such actions as (A) may be required to ensure that such Member receives the shares of Class A Common Stock and/or the Cash Settlement that such Exchangeable Unit Member is entitled to receive in connection with such Exchange pursuant to ‎Section 11.3(a), and (B) may be reasonably within its control that would cause such Exchange to be treated as a direct exchange between the Managing Member and the Member for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

Section 11.4 Adjustment. To the extent not reflected in an adjustment to the Exchange Rate, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed or exchanged into or for another security, securities or other property, then, upon any subsequent Exchange, an Exchangeable Unit Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Exchangeable Unit Member would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately before the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed or exchanged into or for another security, securities or other property, this ‎Section 11.4 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property.

Section 11.5 Class A Common Stock to Be Issued in Connection with an Exchange.

(a) Class A Common Stock Reserve. The Managing Member shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be deliverable under this Agreement upon all such Exchanges. The preceding sentence shall not affect the Managing Member’s right to elect a Cash Settlement.

(b) Rule 16(b) Exemption. The Managing Member has taken and will take all such steps as may be required to cause to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) or (e), as applicable, under the Exchange Act, and be exempt for purposes of Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, any acquisitions or dispositions of equity securities of the Managing Member (including derivative securities with respect thereto) and any securities that may be deemed to be equity securities or derivative securities of the Managing Member for such purposes that result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each director or officer of the Managing Member (including directors-by-deputization) who may reasonably be expected to be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Managing Member upon the registration of any class of equity security of the Managing Member pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(c) Validity of Class A Common Stock. The Managing Member covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon an Exchange will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive right of stockholders of the Managing Member or any right of first refusal or other right in favor of any Person.

Section 11.6 Withholding. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company may be required by Law to deduct and withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations in respect of any Exchange, as provided in ‎Section 4.10(c) of ‎Annex C.

Section 11.7 Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Exchangeable Unit Member and the Managing Member, it is intended that, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, each Exchange be treated as direct exchange between the Managing Member and the Exchangeable Unit Member that is a taxable transaction to the Exchangeable Unit Member. All applicable parties shall treat each Exchange consistently with the intended treatment for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 11.8 Contribution by the Managing Member. On the Exchange Date (i) the Managing Member shall contribute to the Company the shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Cash Settlement that the Managing Member has elected to deliver and that the Member is entitled to receive in the applicable Exchange and (ii) the Company shall issue to the Managing Member a number of Class A Units equal to the number of Exchangeable Units surrendered by the Member.

If any Member’s interest in the Company varies (within the meaning of Code section 706(d)) within a Fiscal Year, whether by reason of a Transfer of a Unit, redemption of a Unit by the Company, or otherwise, Net Profits and Net Losses for that Fiscal Year will be allocated so as to take into account such varying interests in accordance with Code section 706(d) using the daily proration method and/or such other permissible method, methods, or conventions selected by the Company.

C-8

(i) Imputed Underpayment Share. To the extent the Company is liable for any Imputed Underpayment, the Company shall determine the liability of the Members for a share of such Imputed Underpayment, taking into account the Members’ Units and the status and actions of the Members (including those described in Code section 6225(c)) (such share, an “Imputed Underpayment Share”).

(ii) Payment of Imputed Underpayment Share. The Company may (A) require a Member who is liable for an Imputed Underpayment Share to pay the amount of its Imputed Underpayment Share to the Company within ten (10) days after the date on which the Company notifies the Member (and in the manner required by the notice) and/or (B) reduce future distributions to the Member, such that the amount determined under clauses (A) and (B) equals the Member’s Imputed Underpayment Share, provided, however, that no Member shall have an obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to any Imputed Underpayment. If a Member fails to pay any amount that it is required to pay the Company in respect of an Imputed Underpayment Share within such ten (10) day period, that amount shall be treated as a loan to the Member, bearing interest at ten (10) percent annually (which interest shall increase the Member’s Imputed Underpayment Share). Such loan shall be repayable upon demand by the Company. If the Member fails to repay the loan upon demand, the full balance of the loan shall be immediately due (including accrued but unpaid interest) and the Company shall have the right to collect the balance in any manner it determines, including by reducing future distributions to that Member; provided, however, that no Member may have any Imputed Underpayment Share treated as a loan to the extent it would violate Section 402 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. Any Member not permitted to treat its Imputed Underpayment Share as a loan due to the provisions of the previous sentence shall pay any Imputed Underpayment Share within ten (10) days after the date of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this ‎Section 4.4(c)(ii) of this ‎Annex C.

Section 4.5 No Independent Actions or Inconsistent Positions. Except as required by Law or previously authorized in writing by the Company (which authorization may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Company), no Member shall (i) independently act with respect to tax matters (including, but not limited to, audits, litigation and controversies) affecting or arising from the Company, or (ii) treat any Company item inconsistently on such Member’s income tax return with the treatment of the item on the Company’s tax return and/or the Schedule K-1 (or other written information statement) provided to such Member. Solely to the extent required by Law, this ‎Section 4.5 of this ‎Annex C shall not apply with respect to any “special enforcement matter” described in Code section 6241(11).

Section 4.6 United States Person. Except as permitted by the Company, each Member represents and covenants that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is and will at all times remain a “United States Person,” within the meaning of Code section 7701, or is a disregarded entity the assets of which are treated as owned by a United States Person under Treas. Reg. §§ 301.7701-1, 301.7701-2, and 301.7701-3.

Section 4.7 State, Local, and Non-U.S. Tax Law. The provisions of this Agreement with respect to U.S. federal income tax shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any similar provisions of state, local, or non-U.S. tax law as determined by the Company.

C-9

Section 4.8 Survival of Obligations. For purposes of this ‎Article IV of this ‎Annex C, the term “Member” shall include a former Member to the extent determined by the Company. The rights and obligations of each Member and former Member under this ‎Article IV of this ‎Annex C shall survive the Transfer by such Member of its Units (or withdrawal by a Member or redemption of a Member’s Units) and the dissolution of the Company until ninety (90) days after the applicable statute of limitations. ‎Section 4.3 (Tax Representative), ‎Section 4.4 (Tax Audits), and this ‎Section 4.8 (Survival of Obligations) of this ‎Annex C shall not be amended without the prior written consent of any Member or former Member that would be adversely impacted by such amendment.

Section 4.9 Tax Classification. The parties intend that the Company shall be classified as a partnership for United States federal, state, and local tax purposes. The parties intend that the Subsidiaries of the Company currently classified either as disregarded entities or as partnerships for United States federal, state, and local tax purposes as of the date of this Agreement shall remain classified either as disregarded entities or as partnerships for United States federal, state, and local tax purposes. No Person shall take any action inconsistent with such classifications.

Section 4.10 Withholding.

(a) Withholding Generally. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company may be required by Law to deduct and withhold taxes or to fulfill other similar obligations of such Member on any amount paid, distributed, disbursed, or allocated by the Company to that Member, including upon liquidation, and any transferee of a Member’s interest or a Substituted Member shall, by reason of such Transfer or substitution, acknowledge, and agree to any such withholding by the Company, including withholding to discharge obligations of the Company with respect to prior distributions, allocations, or an Imputed Underpayment Share (to the extent not otherwise borne by the transferor Member pursuant to ‎Section 4.4 of this ‎Annex C). All amounts withheld pursuant to this ‎Section 4.10 of this ‎Annex C shall, except as otherwise determined by the Company pursuant to ‎Section 4.4(c)(ii) of this ‎Annex C, be treated as amounts distributed to such Person pursuant to the provision of this Agreement that would have applied if such amount had actually been distributed.

(b) Additional Provisions with Respect to a Transfer of Units. A Member transferring Units permitted by this Agreement shall, unless otherwise determined by the Company, (i) deliver to the Company, between ten (10) days and thirty (30) days before the Transfer, an affidavit of non-foreign status with respect to such transferor Member that satisfies the requirements of Code section 1446(f)(2) or other documentation establishing a valid exemption from withholding pursuant to Code section 1446(f) or (ii) ensure that, contemporaneously with the Transfer, the transferee of such interest properly withholds and remits to the IRS the amount of tax required to be withheld upon the Transfer by Code section 1446(f) (and promptly provide evidence to the Company of such withholding and remittance). If a Member transferring Units will not satisfy clause (i) in connection with any such Transfer unless the transferor Member and transferee of such interest shall agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any loss (including taxes, interest, penalties, and any related expenses) arising out of any failure to comply with the provisions of this ‎Section 4.10(b) of this ‎Annex C.

C-10

(i) Withholding of Cash or Class A Common Stock Permitted. If (x) the Company or the Managing Member shall be required to withhold any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations in respect of any Exchange or (y) the applicable Member has unpaid amounts described in Section 4.4(c) of this Annex C, the Company, or the Managing Member, as the case may be, shall be entitled to take such action as it deems appropriate in order to ensure compliance with such withholding requirements or satisfy such payment obligations, including, at its option, withholding cash from the Cash Settlement or shares of Class A Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of any taxes that the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, may be required to withhold or the Member may be required to pay with respect to such Exchange. To the extent that amounts are (or property is) so withheld and, if required, paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts (or property) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid (or delivered) to the applicable Member.

(ii) Notice of Withholding. If the Company or the Managing Member determines that any amounts by reason of any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws or regulations are required to be withheld in respect of any Exchange, the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Exchangeable Unit Member and shall consider in good faith any positions or alternative arrangements that such Member raises (reasonably in advance of the date on which the Company or the Managing Member believes withholding is required) as to why withholding is not required or that may avoid the need for such withholding, provided, that neither the Company nor the Managing Member is required to incur additional costs as a result of such obligation, and this ‎Section 4.10(c)(ii) of this ‎Annex C shall not in any manner limit the authority of the Company or the Managing Member to withhold taxes with respect to an Exchangeable Unit Member pursuant to ‎Section 4.10(c)(i) of this ‎Annex C.

(iii) Reimbursement of Taxes by Exchangeable Unit Member. If, within the three-year period beginning at the start of the date of an Exchange, (i) the Company or the Managing Member withholds or otherwise pays any amount on account of taxes in respect of exchanged Units, which amount is attributable to the three-year period ending at the end of the date of such Exchange, and (ii) the Company, the Managing Member or any person other than the applicable Exchangeable Unit Member otherwise would bear the economic burden of such withholding or other payment (including by reason of such amount being treated as having been distributed to the Managing Member in respect of the Exchangeable Units pursuant to ‎Section 4.10 of this ‎Annex C), the Exchangeable Unit Member shall, upon notice by the Company and/or the Managing Member, promptly reimburse the Company and/or the Managing Member for such amount; provided, however, that the Exchangeable Unit Member’s reimbursement obligation under this ‎Section 4.10(c)(iii) of this ‎Annex C shall not exceed the amount of cash and Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of receipt) of other consideration received by the Exchangeable Unit Member in connection with such Exchange. Unless otherwise required by Law, any amount paid by an Exchangeable Unit Member pursuant to this ‎Section 4.10(c)(iii) of this ‎Annex C shall be treated as an adjustment to the proceeds received by the Exchangeable Unit Member in respect of the applicable Exchange. The Company and the Managing Member shall have the right to reduce any amounts due to such Exchangeable Unit Member from the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates by the amount owed by such Exchangeable Unit Member under this ‎Section 4.10(c)(iii) of this ‎Annex C.

Re:	Sponsor Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter (this “Sponsor Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Founder SPAC, a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, including after the Domestication (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), “SPAC”), Rubicon Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Ravenclaw Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC (“Merger Sub LLC”), certain blocker merger subsidiaries listed on the signature pages thereto (collectively, the “Merger Sub Incs” and, together with Merger Sub LLC, “Merger Subs”), certain blocker companies listed on the signature pages thereto (each a “Blocker Company” and collectively, the “Blocker Companies”) pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub LLC shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement the “Merger”), and hereby amends and restates in its entirety that certain letter, dated October 14, 2021, from, Founder SPAC Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of SPAC’s board of directors and/or management team (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), to SPAC (the “Prior Letter Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 7 hereof. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

The Sponsor and certain Insiders are currently, and as of the Closing will be, the record owners of all of the outstanding Founder Shares and outstanding Acquiror Private Placement Warrants, with the Sponsor and Insider’s ownership as of the date hereof detailed on Schedule A hereto.

In order to induce the Company, SPAC Entities, and Blocker Companies to enter into the Merger Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees with SPAC Entities and, at all times prior to any valid termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company as follows:

The Sponsor and each Insider irrevocably agrees that it, he or she shall:

(a)

vote any ordinary shares owned by it, him or her (all such ordinary shares, the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the Merger and each other proposal related to the Merger included on the agenda for the special meeting of stockholders relating to the Merger;

(b)

when such meeting of stockholders is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum;

(c)

vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), all of such Covered Shares against any Business Combination Proposal and any other action, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the SPAC Entities under the Merger Agreement, result in any of the conditions set forth in Article X of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Sponsor or the Insiders contained in this Sponsor Agreement or change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of, any class of capital stock of SPAC;

(d)

vote (or execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), all of such Covered Shares against any change in business, management or board of directors of SPAC (other than in connection with the Merger and the other proposals related to the Merger);

	(e)	not redeem any Covered Shares owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder approval; and

	(f)	execute and return an action by written resolution approving the board of directors of Acquiror at Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Prior to any valid termination of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor and each Insider shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and shall do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Laws to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

The obligations of the Sponsor specified in this paragraph 1 shall apply whether or not the Merger or any action described above is recommended by the board of directors of SPAC or whether the board of directors of SPAC has effected a SPAC Change in Recommendation.

The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (a) SPAC and, prior to any valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company may be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by the Sponsor or any Insider of its, his or her obligations under paragraphs 1 and 3, as applicable, of this Sponsor Agreement (b) monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and (c) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.

(a)

The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) one hundred eighty (180) days after the completion of the Merger and (B) subsequent to the Merger, the date on which SPAC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of SPAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).

(b)

The Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Acquiror Private Placement Warrants (or any Class A ordinary shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Acquiror Private Placement Warrants), until the earlier of (A) one hundred eighty (180) days after the completion of the Merger and (B) subsequent to the Merger, the date on which SPAC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of SPAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period” and, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up Periods”).

(c)

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraphs 3(a) and 3(b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Acquiror Private Placement Warrants and Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Founder Shares and the Acquiror Private Placement Warrants, in each case, that are held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this paragraph 3(c)), are permitted (i) to SPAC’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of SPAC’s officers or directors or any affiliate of the Sponsor or to any member(s) of the Sponsor or any of their affiliates; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) by private transfers or transfers made in connection with any contingent forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of the Merger at prices no greater than the price at which the shares or warrants were originally purchased; (vi) in the case of the Sponsor, by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor, (vii) in the event of SPAC’s completion of a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of SPAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the Merger; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (vi), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with SPAC agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein and the other restrictions contained in this Sponsor Agreement (including, but not limited to, the provisions herein relating to voting, the Trust Account and liquidating distributions).

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraphs 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c) if either (i) any waiver, release, termination, shortening or other amendment or modification to the Lockup Agreement, dated as of the date hereof among SPAC and certain stockholders of the Company (the “Lockup Agreement”) occurs which improves the terms of the lock-up of any shares of Common Stock held by such stockholders immediately following the Closing, or (ii) the Company waives, releases, terminates, shortens, or otherwise amends or modifies the restrictions in the Lockup Agreement as to any such Company stockholder (each of the events in (i) or (ii), a “Release”), then the Release shall apply pro rata and on the same terms to the lock-up on the Founder Shares and the provisions of this Section 3 shall be deemed immediately and automatically waived, released, terminated, shortened, amended or modified, as the case may be, without further action of the parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3 shall not be deemed waived, released, terminated, shortened, amended or modified if any such waiver, release, termination, shortening, amendment or modification would further obligate or is otherwise adverse to the holders of Founder Shares; provided, however, that in any such circumstances the holders of Founder Shares shall be granted equal opportunity to participate in such Release on equal terms to the parties thereto prior to the effectiveness thereof. Prior to any such amendment to the Lockup Agreement and this Agreement, the Company will provide reasonable advance written notice (in no case less than five (5) Trading Days) to any holder of Founder Shares indicating that the Company plans to take a specified action with respect to the Lockup Agreement and this Agreement and setting forth the terms of any such amendment.

The Sponsor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that pursuant to Article 37 of the SPAC’s Amended & Restated Memorandum of Association (the “Articles”), all of the Founder Shares outstanding as of the date hereof (whether or not held by the Sponsor), shall convert into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis and (ii) waives any adjustment to the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Articles) to which it would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Article 37.4 of the Articles that would result from the issuance of any equity or equity-linked securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Merger or otherwise in connection with the Closing.

The Sponsor and each Insider has full right and power, without violating any agreement to which it is bound (including, without limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with any employer or former employer), to enter into this Sponsor Agreement.

As used herein: (i) “Beneficially Own” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) “Founder Shares” shall mean the outstanding shares of Class B ordinary shares and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of such shares of Class B ordinary shares in connection with the Closing; (iii) “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to, any security, (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b); (iv) “Class A ordinary shares” shall mean the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPAC; (v) “Class B ordinary shares” shall mean the Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPAC; (vi) “ordinary shares” shall mean the Class A ordinary shares and the Class B ordinary shares; (vii) “Acquiror Private Placement Warrants” shall mean the SPAC warrants that the Sponsor purchased for an aggregate purchase price $12,623,125, or $1.00 per SPAC warrant, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of SPAC’s initial public offering, pursuant to which the Sponsor is entitled to purchase up to 12,623,125 Class A ordinary shares; and (viii) “Business Combination Proposal” means any action to initiate, solicit, facilitate, consider, engage in or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or enter into any agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle with, or encourage, response, provide information to, or commence due diligence with respect to, any Person (other than the Company, its stockholders or any of their Affiliates or Representatives), concerning, relating to or which is intended or is reasonably likely to give rise to or result in, any offer, inquiry, proposal or indication of interest, written or oral relating to any merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses.

This Sponsor Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, with respect to the Sponsor, each Insider and the Prior Letter Agreement. This Sponsor Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by SPAC Entities and the other parties charged with such change, amendment, modification or waiver, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Company’s execution of such an instrument will not be required after any valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

No party hereto may, except as set forth herein, assign either this Sponsor Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder, other than in conjunction with transfers permitted by paragraph 3, without the prior written consent of the other parties (except that, following any valid termination of the Merger Agreement, no consent from the Company shall be required). Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Sponsor Agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor, each Insider, the SPAC Entities and the Company and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and permitted transferees.

Nothing in this Sponsor Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Sponsor Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Sponsor Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and permitted transferees.

10.

This Sponsor Agreement may be executed in any number of original, electronic or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Supporting Holder is the record owner, beneficial (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, which meaning shall apply for all purposes of this Agreement whenever the term “beneficial” or “beneficially” is used) owner, and has full voting power over (a) the number of Common Units of the Company (“Company Common Units”) set forth opposite the Supporting Holder’s name on Schedule A under the column heading “Number of Company Common Units” and (b) the number of (i) Series A Units of the Company (“Company Series A Units”), (ii) Series B Units of the Company (“Company Series B Units”), (iii) Series C Units of the Company (“Company Series C Units”), (iv) Series D Units of the Company (“Company Series D Units”), and (v) Series E Units of the Company (“Company Series E Units”) (collectively, “Company Preferred Units” and collectively with the Company Common Units, the “Company Units”), set forth opposite the Supporting Holder’s name on Schedule A under the column heading “Number of Company Preferred Units” (all such Company Common Units specified on Schedule A under the column heading “Number of Company Common Units” shall be referred to herein as the Supporting Holder’s “Subject Common Shares,” all such Company Preferred Units specified on Schedule A under the column heading “Number of Company Preferred Units” shall be referred to herein as the Supporting Holder’s “Subject Preferred Shares,” and the Supporting Holder’s Subject Common Shares and Subject Preferred Shares and any other shares of Company Common Units or Company Preferred Units the Supporting Holder may hereafter acquire prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be referred to herein collectively as the Supporting Holder’s “Subject Shares”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to Purchaser’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and in consideration for Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Supporting Holders have agreed to enter into this Agreement.

The Supporting Holders covenant and agree to not, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, enter into any agreement or undertaking that is inconsistent in any material respect with, or would otherwise materially interfere with, or prohibit or prevent the Supporting Holders from satisfying, their obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

Article II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SUPPORTING HOLDER

Each Supporting Holder represents and warrants to Purchaser that:

2.1 Authorization; Binding Agreement.

(a) The Supporting Holder, if not a natural person, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (where such concept is recognized) under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or constituted.

THE PARTIES HERETO 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 (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO 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 HERETO 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.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement upon any person other than each party hereto.

5.10 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto 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.

5.11 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, shall be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

The word “extent” and the phrase “to the extent” when used in this Agreement shall mean the degree to which a subject or other things extends, and such word or phrase shall not merely mean “if.” The term “or” is not exclusive. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof,” “of even date herewith” and terms of similar import, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the preamble to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to a date or time shall be deemed to be such date or time in New York, New York, unless otherwise specified.

All rights, ownership, and economic benefits of and relating to the Subject Shares of the Supporting Holders shall remain vested in and belong to the Supporting Holders, and the Purchaser shall have no authority to direct the Supporting Holders in the voting or disposition of any of the Supporting Holders’ Subject Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 15, 2021 by and among (i) Founder SPAC, a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, including after the Domestication (as defined below), the “Purchaser”), (ii) Rubicon Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and (iii) [●](“Holder”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement will have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) the Purchaser, (ii) Ravenclaw Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Merger Sub LLC”), (iii) certain blocker merger subsidiaries listed on the signature pages thereto (collectively, “Blocker Merger Subs”), (iv) certain blocker companies listed on the signature pages thereto (collectively, the “Blocker Companies”), and (v) the Company entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, (a) at or prior to the Closing, the Purchaser will domesticate (the “Domestication”) as a Delaware corporation (“Surviving Pubco”) pursuant to the applicable provisions of the CICL and the DGCL, (b) following the Domestication, Merger Sub LLC will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”), whereby the LLC Agreement of the Surviving Company will be amended and restated substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Merger Agreement (the “A&R LLCA”), (c) immediately following the consummation of the Merger and the effectiveness of the A&R LLCA, each Blocker Merger Sub, each Blocker Company, each Surviving Blocker Company, and Surviving Pubco will effectuate a series of mergers in the order set forth in Section 2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (all such mergers together, the “Blocker Company Mergers” and, together with the Merger, the “Mergers”), and (d) pursuant to the Mergers, the Company Interest Holders shall receive consideration in the form of securities issued by the Purchaser or the Company, which, in the case of Holder, shall take the form of [Surviving Pubco Class A Shares][Surviving Pubco Class V Shares and an equivalent number of Class B Units (with a pair of one such Class B Unit and one such Surviving Pubco Class V Share being exchangeable, in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the A&R LLCA, and the Policy Regarding Exchanges set forth in Annex E to the A&R LLCA (the “Exchange Policy”), for Surviving Pubco Class A Shares (any such shares, “Exchange Shares”))] (the “Holder Consideration Securities,” including all Earnout Shares to which Holder may become entitled, if issued pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement [and including all Exchange Shares]), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (such transactions, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Holder is a holder of equity securities of the Company in such amounts and classes or series as set forth underneath Holder’s name on the signature page hereto; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by Holder thereunder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Holder Consideration Securities received by Holder in the Transactions, including Holder’s Surviving Pubco Class A Shares that may be issued as Earnout Shares[, and any Exchange Shares] (all such securities, together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any shares issued in connection with the PIPE Investment Subscription Agreements, the “Restricted Securities”), shall become subject to limitations on disposition as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Lock-Up Provisions.

(a) Holder hereby agrees not to, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, during the period commencing from the Closing and ending on the earlier of (x) 180 days after the date of the Closing and (y) the date after the Closing on which Purchaser consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization, tender offer, or other similar transaction that results in all of Purchaser’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in Purchaser for cash, securities or other property (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”): (i) lend, offer to sell, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities owned by Holder, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder (I) by gift, will or intestate succession upon the death of Holder, (II) to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below), (III) by operation of law, pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union, (IV) pursuant to any hypothecation or pledge securing a loan, or (V) in connection with Purchaser’s consummation of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization, tender offer or other similar transaction that results in all of Purchaser’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in Purchaser for cash, securities or other property; provided, however, that in any of cases (I), (II) or (III) it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Purchaser and the Company an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: (A) the members of Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse or domestic partner, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse or domestic partner, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouse or domestic partner and siblings), (B) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of Holder, (C) if Holder is a trust, the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (D) if Holder is an entity, as a distribution to limited partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in Holder, and (E) any Affiliate of Holder or any employees, officers, directors or members of Holder or any Affiliates of Holder. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or the Company that are consistent with the foregoing and necessary to give further effect thereto.

(b) [For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no exchanges of Class B Units pursuant to the Exchange Policy until after expiration of the Lock-Up Period under this Agreement.]

(c) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Purchaser shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, Purchaser may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period, except in compliance with the foregoing exceptions.

(d) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 15, 2021, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”), A CERTAIN REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ISSUER NAMED THEREIN AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

Promptly upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, Purchase will make best efforts to remove such legend from the certificates evidencing the Restricted Securities.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of the Purchaser during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities and to receive any dividends and distributions in respect of any Restricted Securities, and (ii) the restrictions contained in Section 1(a) shall not apply to any Surviving Pubco Class A Shares, Class B Units, Surviving Pubco Class V Shares or other securities of the Company acquired by Holder in open market transactions or in any public or private capital raising transactions of the Company or otherwise to any Surviving Pubco Class A Shares, Class B Units, Surviving Pubco Class V Shares or other securities of the Company (other than the Restricted Securities). Prior to or at the Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser the Registration Rights Agreement and allow Holder the opportunity to be a party to the Registration Rights Agreement entitled to the registration rights thereunder.

2. Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination of Merger Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon Holder upon Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(b) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be transferred or delegated by Holder at any time without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company. Each of the Purchaser and the Company may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

(c) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

(d) Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all related claims or causes of action shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (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. EACH PARTY HERETO 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 (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO 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 HERETO 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. Sections 12.7 and 12.14 of the Merger Agreement shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis with references to the Merger Agreement therein deemed to reference this Agreement and references to the “Parties” thereunder deemed to reference the parties hereto.

(e) Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(f) Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered (i) in person, (ii) by email during normal business hours, (iii) by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and otherwise on the next Business Day, addressed as follows (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

(g) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Purchaser, the Company and Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision. Purchaser and the Company hereby represent, warrant, covenant and agree that (i) if any Lock-Up Agreement signed by an interestholder of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is amended, modified or waived in a manner favorable to such interestholder and that would be favorable to Holder, this Agreement shall be contemporaneously amended in the same manner and Purchaser shall provide prompt notice thereof to Holder, and (ii) if any such interestholder is released from any or all of the lock-up restrictions under its Lock-Up Agreement, Holder will be similarly and contemporaneously released from the lock-up restrictions hereunder (which, for the avoidance, of doubt will include a release of the same percentage of Holder’s Restricted Securities) and Purchaser shall provide prompt notice thereof to Holder.

(h) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(i) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and Purchaser and the Company will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Purchaser and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Purchaser and the Company or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and the Purchaser or the Company or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of the Purchaser or the Company, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Purchaser or the Company or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

(k) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the other party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(l) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by facsimile or pdf or other electronic document transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

[●], 2021

Founder SPAC

00000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx

Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth above by and between Founder SPAC, a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with any successor thereto, including after the Domestication (as defined below), the “Company”), and the undersigned Investor (the “Investor”), in connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between the Company and Rubicon Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Rubicon” or the “Target”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 15, 2021, by and among the Company, Rubicon, Ravenclaw Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub LLC”), certain blocker merger subsidiaries listed on the signature pages thereto (“Blocker Merger Subs” and, together with Merger Sub LLC, the “Merger Subsidiaries”), and certain blocker companies listed on the signature pages thereto (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”). In connection with the Transaction, the Company is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”), shares of common stock of the Company (after giving effect to the Domestication), par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”) in a private placement to be conducted by the Company (the “Offering”). On or about or following the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into subscription agreements with certain other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Other Investors, severally and not jointly, and the Investor have agreed or will agree to purchase Common Shares, on the date of the Transaction Closing, at the Per Share Purchase Price (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with the Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”). The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount.”

In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and the Company acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. As of the date written above, the Investor hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, the number of Common Shares set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (the “Shares”) at the Per Share Purchase Price on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein.

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing,” and the date that the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction Closing. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to the Transaction Closing, but after the Company’s transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and domestication into the State of Delaware pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “Domestication”). The Company shall provide written notice (which may be via email) to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), which Closing Notice shall contain wire instructions for an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established by the Company with a third party escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), to be identified in the Closing Notice, that the Company reasonably expects the Transaction Closing to occur on a date specified in the notice (the “Scheduled Closing Date”) that is not less than five (5) business days from the date of the Closing Notice and the Investor shall deliver, at least two (2) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, (i) to the Escrow Account, the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds and (ii) to the Escrow Agent, any information that is reasonably requested by the Company or the Escrow Agent in order for the Company to issue the Shares to the Investor, including, without limitation, a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable. The wire transfer shall identify the Investor and, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the funds shall be wired from an account in the Investor’s name. Upon the Closing, the Company shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the Company against delivery to the Investor of the Shares. On the Closing Date, promptly after the Closing, the Company shall deliver (or cause delivery of) the number of Shares set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement in book entry form with restrictive legends to the Investor as indicated on the signature page or to a custodian designated by the Investor, as applicable, as indicated below but otherwise free and clear of ay liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws); provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to issue the Shares to the Investor is contingent upon the Company having received the Subscription Amount in full accordance with this Section 2. If this Subscription Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing and any funds have already been sent by the Investor to the Escrow Account, then, promptly after such termination (and in any event, within three (3) business days thereafter), the Company will instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly return the Subscription Amount in full to the Investor to the account specified in writing by the Investor. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, (x) “business day” shall mean a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close (excluding as a result of “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems, including for wire transfers, of commercially banking institutions in New York, New York are generally open for use by customers on such day); (y) “person” shall refer to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity or association, including any governmental or regulatory body, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or any other capacity; and (z) “affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person or group of persons acting together that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified person (where the term “control” (and any correlative terms) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the Company will include the Company’s sponsor, Founder SPAC Sponsor LLC.

(ii) no applicable governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition on consummations of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(ii) all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Company required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed by it at or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed in all material respects;

(iii) no amendment of the Transaction Agreement (as the same exists on the date hereof) shall have occurred that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that the Investor would reasonably expect to receive under this Subscription Agreement, which such prohibition, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the waiver of any minimum cash condition set forth in the Transaction Agreement by the Company and/or the Target;

(iv) no suspension of the qualification of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, and no suspension or removal from listing of the Class A ordinary shares on the NYSE shall have occurred; and

4. Further Assurances. At or prior to the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Offering as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in the Disclosure Documents and in the SEC Reports. The Investor is (i) an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private placement transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Shares. The Investor understands and acknowledges that the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder meets (i) the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and (ii) the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b). The Investor has determined based on its own independent review, and has sought such professional advice as it deems appropriate, that its purchase of the Shares and participation in the Offering (i) are fully consistent with its financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) comply and are fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions applicable to the Investor, (iii) have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action, (iv) do not and will not violate or constitute a default under its charter, by-laws or other constituent document or under any law, rule, regulation, agreement or other obligation by which the Investor is bound and (v) are a fit, proper and suitable investment for the Investor, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Shares. The Investor is able to bear the substantial risks associated with its purchase of the Shares, including but not limited to loss of its entire investment therein.

i. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor considered necessary to make an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Shares and participation in the Offering and the Investor has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning relevant tax and other economic considerations relative to its purchase of the Shares. The Investor acknowledges that the Investor shall be responsible for any of the Investor’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and that none of the Company, the Target or the Placement Agents has provided any tax advice or any other representations or guarantee regarding the tax consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

j. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in the Company.

k. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of this Offering or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment or the accuracy or adequacy of the SEC Reports.

l. The Investor, if not an individual, has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation. The Investor has the power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

m. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Investor, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any law, statute, rule, order, subpoena, judgment, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or the rules of any governmental commission or agency or regulatory or self-regulatory body, including the SEC or any applicable securities exchange, or any agreement or other undertaking to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound, and, if the Investor is not an individual, will not violate any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, by-laws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same and this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

n. Neither the due diligence investigation conducted by the Investor in connection with making its decision to acquire the Shares nor any representation and warranty made by the Investor hereunder shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties hereunder.

o. The Investor is not (i) a person named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons that are named on the OFAC List, (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national or the government, including any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (each, a “Prohibited Investor”). The Investor agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Investor is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Investor is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with OFAC-administered sanctions programs, including for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. The Investor represents that to the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Prohibited Investor.

p. No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by the Placement Agents in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. The Investor agrees that each Placement Agent and each of its respective members, directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company, the Target or the Shares or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investor by the Company. In connection with the issue and purchase of the Shares, neither Placement Agent has acted as the Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary. The Investor acknowledges that neither Placement Agent assumes any responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, any information or projections provided to the Investor hereunder.

q. Neither the Investor, nor, to the extent it has them, any of its equity holders, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers (collectively with the Investor, the “Covered Persons”), are subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Investor has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The acquisition of the Shares by the Investor will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event.

r. The Investor acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of material non-public information relating to the Company.

s. No foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in the Company as a result of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the Company from and after the Closing as a result of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder.

t. The Investor has and, when required to deliver payment to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2 above, will have, sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

u. The Investor does not have, as of the date hereof, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

v. The Investor is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act).

w. If the Investor is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, the Investor represents and warrants that neither the Company nor any of its respective affiliates has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Shares, and none of the Company or any of its respective affiliates shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Shares.

7. Registration Rights.

a. The Company agrees that it will use reasonable best efforts to prepare an advanced draft of, prior to the Closing Date, and, in any event will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”) as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event on the first business day to occur (10) calendar days after the Closing Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (A) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Date and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”). The Company agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Effectiveness Date, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares covered by such Registration Statement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). Prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange. The Investor agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of the Shares to the Company (or its successor) upon request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company’s obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Investor, the securities of the Company held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Shares, and execution of such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, provided that the Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement in respect of the Shares. If the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company’s securities by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Company securities which is equal to the maximum number of Company securities as is permitted by the SEC, (ii) the number of Company securities to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and (iii) the Company shall promptly file another registration statement covering the offer and sale of the remaining Common Shares held by the Investor. The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review reasonably in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the required Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 7, provided that any delay in the Filing Date or Effectiveness Date that is not a breach of the Company’s obligations hereunder shall give rise to a corresponding extension of such deadline(s), as applicable, by an equal number of days. For purposes of this Section 7, “Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Shares and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Shares by way of share split, dividend or distribution on or with respect to the Shares.

b. The Company may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such Form S-3. Further, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines in good faith, that in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, if such filing or use could reasonably be expected to materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or in the event that filing such registration statement would require premature disclosure of information that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”), provided, that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, further, that the Company may not delay filing or suspend use of any registration statement (including the Registration Statement) on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case in any 12-month period.

c. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the occurrence of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement until the Investor receives (A) (x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by applicable law. If so directed by the Company, the Investor will deliver to the Company or destroy, in the sole discretion of the Investor, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in the Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply to (i) the extent the Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. During any periods that a Registration Statement registering the resale of the Shares is effective or when the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, the Company shall, at its expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends on any Shares following the Company’s receipt of any documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the transfer agent (including customary representations in connection with such sale and legend removal).

d. Indemnification. From and after the Closing,

(i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Investor, each person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each officer, employee, director, member, attorney, agent and affiliate of the Investor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and each broker, placement agent or sales agent to or through which the Investor effects or executes the resale of any Shares (collectively, the “Investor Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by the Investor Indemnified Parties to the extent such Losses are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Shares (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment or supplement thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, except to the extent that the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of the Company hereunder be greater in amount than the Subscription Amount and the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(ii) The Investor agrees to, severally and not jointly with any other selling shareholders using the applicable registration statement, indemnify and hold the Company, and the officers, employees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents of the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and all Losses incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties to the extent such Losses are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Shares (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, to the extent that the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation and the Investor’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(iii) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 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 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. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7 and deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. 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 7(d)(iii) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. This Section 7(d)(iii) shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions in the last sentence of each of Sections 7(d)(i) and 7(d)(ii).

e. The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of any Registration Statement, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration continuously effective with respect to the Investor in accordance herewith and shall:

(i) advise the Investor within five (5) business days: (A) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (B) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (C) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and (D) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising the Investor of the events listed above, provide the Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (C) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iii) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(iv) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Shares have been listed; and

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts (1) to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Shares contemplated hereby, (2) for so long as the Investor holds the Shares, to file all reports and other materials required to be filed by the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144 to enable the Investor to sell the Shares under Rule 144 and (3) to take such further actions, at the Investor’s expense, as the Investor may reasonably request in writing from time to time to enable the Investor to sell the Shares under Rule 144.

8. Investor’s Covenant. The Investor agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the Closing, none of the Investor or any person acting on behalf of the Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor (i) will engage in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or similar instrument, including without limitation equity repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements, however, described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition or transfer (whether by the Investor or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, physically or synthetically, of any Shares, any securities of the Company or any instrument exchangeable for or convertible into any securities of the Company prior to the Closing, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of securities of the Company, in cash or otherwise, or (ii) will publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 8 shall not apply to long sales (including sales of securities held by the Investor prior to the date of this Subscription Agreement and securities purchased by the Investor in the open market after the date of this Subscription Agreement) other than those effectuated through derivatives transactions and similar instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge (constructive or otherwise) of this Subscription Agreement or of the Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby from entering into any such transactions; and in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, this Section 8 shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares hereunder.

9. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Transaction Closing, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, or (c) upon written notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the Agreement End Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement as of the date hereof) (any of (a) through (c), collectively, “Termination Events”); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. The Company or a Placement Agent shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect (except that the provisions of Sections 9 through 13 of this Subscription Agreement and the obligations in Section 2 with respect to the Company instructing the Escrow Agent to promptly return the Subscription Amount in full to the Investor to the account specified in writing by the Investor will survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely) and, promptly after any such Termination Event, the Company shall instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly return any monies paid by the Investor to the Escrow Account in connection herewith to the Investor.

10. Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the Prospectus. The Investor understands that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders (the “Public Shareholders”) and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within fifteen (15) months after the closing of the IPO, subject to extension as described in the Prospectus or by an amendment to its organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses or (d) to the Company after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Company’s entry into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, neither the Investor nor any of its affiliates do 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 to 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 Subscription Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between the Company or its representatives, on the one hand, and the Investor or its representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Investor on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Investor or any of its affiliates 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, contracts or agreements with the Company 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 this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or its affiliates). The Investor agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company and its affiliates to induce the Company to enter into this Subscription Agreement, and the Investor further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Investor and each of its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent the Investor or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company or its representatives, the Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Investor’s and its affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Investor or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalf or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event the Investor or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, the Company and its representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Investor and its affiliates the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event the Company or its representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10 shall not affect any rights of the Investor or its affiliates to receive distributions from the Trust Account in their capacities as Public Shareholders upon the redemption of their shares or the liquidation of the Company if it does not consummate a Business Combination prior to its deadline to do so. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “representatives” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Subscription Agreement and last indefinitely.

11. Miscellaneous.

a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the parties hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any, subject to applicable securities laws) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto and any such and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the delivery of the Closing Notice, the Investor may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the Investor, or to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Investor, that can make the representations set forth in Section 6(a) as if such representations applied to such assignee, so long as the Investor provides the Company with at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice of such assignment and a completed questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (if applicable) duly executed by such assignee; provided, further, that (i) such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof and shall make to the Company each of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Investor set forth in Section 6 as of the date of such assignment and as of the Closing Date, and (ii) no such assignment by the Investor will relieve the Investor of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, and the Investor will remain secondarily liable under this Subscription Agreement for the obligations of the assignee hereunder.

b. The Company may request from the Investor such additional information as the Company may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares, and the Investor shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested and to the extent readily available and reasonably consistent with the Investor’s internal policies and procedures; provided that the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by the Investor confidential except (i) as necessary to include in any registration statement the Company is required to file hereunder, (ii) as required by the federal securities laws or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide the Company with such requested information, the Company may without any liability hereunder reject the Investor’s subscription prior to the Closing Date in the event the Investor fails to provide such additional information requested by the Company to evaluate the Investor’s eligibility to acquire the Shares or the Company determines that the Investor is not eligible to acquire the Shares.

c. The Investor acknowledges that the Company, the Placement Agents, the Target and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto, as if they were made directly to them; provided, however, that the Closing may only be enforced against the Investor by the Company (or any successor entity). Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (or, with respect to the contents of Exhibit A, in any respect).

d. The Company, the Placement Agents and the Target are entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and are irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. The Investor shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

e. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

f. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by each party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, waiver or termination is sought. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

g. This Subscription Agreement (including Exhibit A hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and the Investor in connection with the Offering). Except as expressly set forth herein (including Section 7(d)), this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Target and the Placement Agents are each intended third party beneficiaries of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor contained in Section 6 hereof, with rights of enforcement only with respect to the waivers or obligations set forth therein that are specific to the Target or to the Placement Agents, respectively.

h. This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

i. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

j. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

k. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

l. If any change in the number, type or classes of authorized shares of the Company (including the Shares), other than as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or any agreement contemplated by the Transaction, shall occur between the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing by reason of reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, the number of Shares issued to the Investor shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

m. Each party hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

n. This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles relating to conflict of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts seated in New York County, New York (and any appellate courts thereof) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts, (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court, and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 11(o). Nothing in this Section 11(n) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION, DISPUTE, CLAIM, LEGAL ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

o. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and either delivered personally, emailed or sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to such address(es) or email address(es) set forth on the signature page hereto, in the case of the Investor, and at the address set forth in this Section 11(o), in the case of the Company, and shall be deemed to be given and received (i) when so delivered personally, (ii) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, if sent by email, or (iii) three (3) business days after the date of mailing to the following address or to such other address or addresses as the Investor or the Company may hereafter designate by written notice to the other party.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company’s Class B Units are held directly by the Unblocked TRA Holders;

WHEREAS, the Blocked TRA Holders hold, and will continue to hold until the effective time of the Blocker Mergers, the Class B Units indirectly through the Blockers;

WHEREAS, the Corporation is the managing member of the Company;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Merger Sub LLC will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to and following the consummation of the transactions set forth in the Transaction Agreement (including the Merger), the Corporation will become the owner of the Class B Units held by the Blockers (the “Blocker Mergers”);

WHEREAS, the Class B Units held by the Unblocked TRA Holders are exchangeable with the Company or the Corporation in certain circumstances for Class A Shares and/or cash pursuant to the exchange provisions of the Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company (the “LLC Agreement”);

WHEREAS, each of the Company and any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries classified as partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes shall have in effect an election under section 754 of the Code for each Taxable Year that includes the effective date of the Blocker Mergers and the Merger Date and each Taxable Year in which an Exchange occurs, which election is intended to result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets owned by the Company and such Subsidiaries, solely with respect to the Corporation;

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement desire to make certain arrangements with respect to the benefits attributable to the effect of the Tax Assets on the liability for Taxes of the Corporation;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the undersigned parties agree as follows:

Article I
DETERMINATION OF REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

Section 1.01 Realized Tax Benefit and Realized Tax Detriment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties intend that, for a Taxable Year, the excess, if any, of (a) the Hypothetical Tax Liability over the Actual Tax Liability (such excess, the “Realized Tax Benefit”) or (b) the Actual Tax Liability over the Hypothetical Tax Liability (such excess, the “Realized Tax Detriment”) shall measure the decrease or increase (respectively) in the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year that is attributable to the Tax Assets, determined using a “with and without” methodology (that is, treating the Tax Assets as the last tax attributes used in such Taxable Year). If all or a portion of the Actual Tax Liability for the Taxable Year arises as a result of an audit by a Taxing Authority of any Taxable Year, such liability shall not be included in determining the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment unless and until there has been a Determination with respect to that portion of the Actual Tax Liability.

Section 1.02 Assumptions, Conventions, and Principles for Calculations. The “Actual Tax Liability” shall be the Tax liability of the Corporation as reflected on the relevant Corporate Tax Return calculated (y) using such reasonable methods as the Corporation determines and (z) substituting the Basis Adjustment for any adjustment under sections 732, 734, 743, or 1012 of the Code (as applicable) as a result of (i) an Exchange or (ii) the Blocker Mergers (including any adjustment under section 743 of the Code that the Corporation directly or indirectly owns as a result of the Blocker Mergers). In making the calculations required by this Agreement, the Corporation shall use the following assumptions, conventions, and principles:

(a) Treatment of Tax Benefit Payments. Tax Benefit Payments shall be treated in part as Imputed Interest and in part as additional purchase price for (i) interests in the Blockers in the case of the Blocker Mergers, (except as otherwise required by the Code) or (ii) Units in the case of an Exchange. Tax Benefit Payments (other than amounts accounted for as Imputed Interest) arising as a result of an Exchange shall be treated as upward purchase price adjustments that give rise to further Basis Adjustments to Adjusted Assets for the Corporation in the year of payment, and, as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments shall be incorporated into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate.

(b) Imputed Interest. The Actual Tax Liability shall take into account the deduction of the portion of each Tax Benefit Payment that is accounted for as Imputed Interest under the Code due to the characterization of such Tax Benefit Payments as additional consideration payable by the Corporation for the Units acquired in connection with an Exchange or the Blocker Mergers.

- 2 -

(c) Carryovers and Carrybacks. Carryovers or carrybacks of any income, gain, loss (including any NOLs), deduction, or credit attributable to the Tax Assets shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type (including sections 382, 383 and 384 of the Code). If a carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to a Tax Asset and another portion that is not, the portion attributable to the Tax Asset shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology (that is, treating the Tax Assets as the last tax attributes used in such Taxable Year).

(d) State and Local Taxes. For purposes of calculating the Actual Tax Liability with respect to a Taxable Year, the Corporation may, but shall not be required to, assume that the Corporation’s state and local Tax liability (the “Assumed SALT Liability”) equals (x) the product of (i) the taxable income and gain determined for the Taxable Year in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) four percent (4%) or (y) if the Corporation determines in its sole discretion (but, in any case, not more frequently than annually) that the percentage described in clause (x) materially differs from the actual state and local liability, then, in consultation with the TRA Representative, the Corporation will use such other percentage as the Corporation reasonably determines from time to time reflects its blended state and local tax rate (using the apportionment factors set forth on the relevant Corporate Tax Returns for that Taxable Year unless otherwise determined by the Corporation after consultation with the TRA Representative). Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (y) of the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall not use a rate that is materially lower than the rate initially used to calculate the Assumed SALT Liability without the consent of the TRA Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(e) Treatment of State and Local and Non-United States Taxes. The provisions of this Agreement, including the assumption, conventions, and principles with respect to the determination of income and gain, shall apply to state and local and non-United States tax matters mutatis mutandis.

Section 1.03 Procedures Relating to Calculation of Tax Benefits.

(a) Preparation and Delivery of Schedules.

(i) Exchange Basis Schedule and Merger Date Asset Schedule.

(A) Merger Date Asset Schedule. The Merger Date Asset Schedules are attached as Annex A with respect to the Blockers. The calculations required by this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Merger Date Asset Schedules. If any calculation is required to be made before the finalized Merger Date Asset Schedules are agreed upon in accordance with this ‎Section 1.03(a)(i)(A) and ‎Section 1.03(b), reasonable estimates shall be used. Within 75 days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for the Taxable Year in which the Blocker Mergers and the Merger occurred, the Corporation shall deliver draft Merger Date Asset Schedules to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holders. Within 120 days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for the Taxable Year in which the Blocker Mergers and the Merger occurred, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holders the finalized Merger Date Asset Schedule, as determined in accordance with ‎Section 1.03(b) (the “Finalized Merger Date Asset Schedules”). The Merger Date Asset Schedules shall show, in reasonable detail, (v) summary of Tax Assets resulting from the Blocker Mergers, (w) the actual common tax basis of the Adjusted Assets as of the Merger Date, (x) any Basis Adjustment with respect to the Adjusted Assets as a result of the Blocker Mergers, (y) the period or periods, if any, over which the common tax basis of the Adjusted Assets are amortized and/or depreciable, and (z) the period or periods, if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable.

- 3 -

(B) Exchange Basis Schedule. Within 120 days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for each Taxable Year in which any Exchange has occurred, the Corporation shall deliver to the TRA Representative and Blocked TRA Holders a schedule (the “Exchange Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail, (w) the actual common tax basis of the Adjusted Assets as of each Exchange Date, (x) the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Adjusted Assets as a result of the Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year and all prior Taxable Years ending after the date of this Agreement, calculated (1) in the aggregate and (2) with respect to Exchanges by each TRA Holder, (y) the period or periods, if any, over which the common tax basis of the Adjusted Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable, and (z) the period or periods, if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable. The calculations required by this Agreement, shall be made in accordance with the Exchange Basis Schedule. If any calculation is required to be made before the Exchange Basis Schedule is agreed upon, reasonable estimates shall be used.

(ii) Tax Benefit Schedule. Within 120 days after the filing of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for any Taxable Year ending after the date of this Agreement, the Corporation shall provide to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holders either (A) (x) a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”), and (y) Amended Merger Date Asset Schedules and/or Exchange Basis Schedule, as applicable, reflecting the cumulative use of Tax Assets through the end of such Taxable Year, or, (B) if there is no Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for that Taxable Year, notice to that effect.

(iii) Supporting Material; Review Right. Each time the Corporation delivers to the TRA Representative or the Blocked TRA Holders the Merger Date Asset Schedules, Exchange Basis Schedule, Early Termination Schedule or a Tax Benefit Schedule (or at such other times as the TRA Representative or the Blocked TRA Holders may reasonably request), the Corporation shall also deliver to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holders schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the schedules and a Supporting Letter confirming the calculations and allow the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holders reasonable access, at no cost to the TRA Representative or the Blocked TRA Holders, to the appropriate representatives at the Corporation and, if applicable, the Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such schedules or workpapers. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall ensure that any schedule that is delivered to the TRA Representative and Blocked TRA Holders identifies any material assumptions or operating procedures or principles that were used for purposes of preparing such schedule.

- 4 -

(iv) Provision of Information to TRA Holders. Upon the reasonable request of a TRA Holder, the TRA Representative shall provide to that TRA Holder, in a reasonably prompt manner, such information that the TRA Representative receives pursuant to this Agreement (including the schedules described in this ‎Section 1.03), but only to the extent that the TRA Representative determines that such information is material, relevant, and relates to that TRA Holder.

(b) Objection to, and Finalization of, Schedules. Each Merger Date Asset Schedule, Exchange Basis Schedule, or Tax Benefit Schedule, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to ‎Section 1.03(c), shall become final and binding on all parties unless the TRA Representative or the Blocked TRA Holders, within 30 days after receiving an Merger Date Asset Schedule, an Exchange Basis Schedule, or a Tax Benefit Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such schedule made in good faith (an “Objection Notice”). If the Corporation and the TRA Representative and/or the Blocked TRA Holders, as applicable, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Representative and/or the Blocked TRA Holders, as applicable, shall employ the dispute resolution procedures as described in ‎Section 6.09 (the “Dispute Resolution Procedures”).

(c) Amendment of Schedules. After finalization of an Merger Date Asset Schedule, Exchange Basis Schedule, or a Tax Benefit Schedule in accordance with ‎Section 1.03(b), any Merger Date Asset Schedule, Exchange Basis Schedule, or Tax Benefit Schedule shall be amended from time to time by the Corporation (i) in accordance with ‎Section 1.03(a)(ii), (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in any such schedule, (iii) to reflect a material change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year, including any such change attributable to either a carryback or carryforward of a Tax Item to such Taxable Year or to an amended Tax Return filed with respect to such Taxable Year, (iv) to adjust the Exchange Basis Schedule to take into account material payments made pursuant to this Agreement, (v) to reflect the cumulative use of Tax Assets through the end of such Taxable Year, (vi) to comply with the Arbitrators’ determinations under the Dispute Resolution Procedures, or (vii) in connection with a material Determination affecting such schedule (any schedule amended in accordance with this ‎Section 1.03(c), an “Amended Schedule” or, as applicable, an “Amended Merger Date Asset Schedule”, “Amended Exchange Basis Schedule”, or “Amended Tax Benefit Schedule”). Any Amended Schedule shall (x) be subject to the finalization procedures set forth in ‎Section 1.03(b) and the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in ‎Section 6.09, and (y) delivered to the TRA Representative and Blocked TRA Holders.

Article II
TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS, THE CONSOLIDATED GROUP, AND TRANSFERS OF CORPORATE ASSETS

Section 2.01 Payments.

(a) General Rule. The Corporation shall pay to each TRA Holder for each Taxable Year the Tax Benefit Payment that is attributable to that TRA Holder at the times set forth in ‎Section 2.01(c). For purposes of this ‎‎Section 2.01(a), the amount of a Tax Benefit Payment that is attributable to a TRA Holder shall be determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate Tax Benefit Payment for the Taxable Year by (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Units held by the TRA Holder immediately after the Merger (but before the Blocker Mergers), and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Units held by all TRA Holders immediately after the Merger (but before the Blocker Mergers). For purposes of this Section 2.01, the Units held by any Blocker are treated as held by the Blocked TRA Holders that were owners of the Blocker immediately before the applicable Blocker Merger in proportion to their ownership interest in the Blocker as set forth in Schedule [●].

(b) Determination of Tax Assets. The Tax Assets shall be determined separately with respect to (i) each separate Exchange, on a Unit-by-Unit basis by reference to the Exchange of a Unit and the resulting Tax Assets with respect to the Corporation and (ii) the Blocker (or, after the Blocker Mergers, the Corporation).

(c) Timing of Tax Benefit Payments. The Corporation shall make each Tax Benefit Payment not later than 10 days after a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to the TRA Representative and the Blocked TRA Holders become final in accordance with ‎Section 1.03(b). The Corporation may, but is not required to, make one or more estimated payments at other times during the Taxable Year and reduce future payments so that the total amount paid to a TRA Holder in respect of a Taxable Year equals the amount calculated with respect to such Taxable Year pursuant to ‎Section 2.01(a). Notwithstanding the provision of the two preceding sentences, no TRA Holder shall receive any Tax Benefit Payment until such TRA Holder has exchanged at least five (5) percent or more of the aggregate number of Units held by the TRA Holder on the day of the Merger (the “Minimum Exchanged Units”). Any Tax Benefit Payments not paid to a TRA Holder by reason of the preceding sentence shall be paid to the TRA Holder once it has exchanged at least the Minimum Exchanged Units.

(d) Optional Cap on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Unblocked TRA Holders may elect with respect to any Exchange to limit the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments made to such TRA Holder in respect of that Exchange to a specified dollar amount, a specified percentage of the amount realized by the TRA Holder with respect to the Exchange, or a specified portion of the Basis Adjustment with respect to the Adjusted Assets as a result of the Exchange. The TRA Holder shall exercise its rights under the preceding sentence by including a notice of its desire to impose such a limit and the specified limitation and such other details as may be reasonably necessary (including whether such limitation includes the Additional Amounts in respect of any such Exchange) in the Elective Exchange Notice delivered in accordance with Section 12.01(b) of the LLC Agreement.

- 6 -

Section 2.02 No Duplicative Payments. The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to, and shall not be construed to, result in duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement.

Section 2.03 Order of Payments. If for any reason (including, but not limited to, the lack of sufficient Available Cash to satisfy the Corporation’s obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due in a particular Taxable Year under this Agreement) the Corporation does not fully satisfy its obligations to make all payments due under this Agreement in a particular Taxable Year, then (i) the TRA Holders shall receive payments under this Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year in the same proportion as they would have received if the Corporation had been able to fully satisfy its payment obligations, without favoring one TRA Holder over the other TRA Holders, and (ii) no payment under this Agreement shall be made in respect of any subsequent Taxable Year until all such payments under this Agreement in respect of the current and all prior Taxable Years have been made in full.

Section 2.04 No Escrow or Clawback; Reduction of Future Payments. No amounts due to a TRA Holder under this Agreement shall be escrowed, and no TRA Holder shall be required to return any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment previously made to it. No TRA Holder shall be required to make a payment to the Corporation on account of any Realized Tax Detriment. If a TRA Holder receives amounts in excess of its entitlements under this Agreement (including as a result of an audit adjustment or Realized Tax Detriment), future payments under this Agreement shall be reduced until the amount received by the TRA Holder equals the amount the TRA Holder would have received had it not received the amount in excess of such entitlements.

Section 2.05 Limits on Aggregate Tax Benefit Payment.

(a) Calculation of Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amount. If, but for the application of this Section 2.05, this Agreement would require the Corporation to make Tax Benefit Payments with respect to any Taxable Year such that the sum of (i) such Tax Benefit Payments plus (ii) the Actual Tax Liability for such Taxable Year paid by the Corporation, exceeds the Hypothetical Tax Liability for such Taxable Year, then the Tax Benefit Payments for that Taxable Year shall be reduced so that the aggregate Tax Benefit Payments for that Taxable Year do not result in any such excess (the amount of that reduction, if any, the “Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amount”).

(b) Impact of Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amount. The Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amount shall be borne by the TRA Holders in the same proportion as the Tax Benefit Payments they would have received if this Section 2.05 were not in this Agreement, without favoring one TRA Holder over the other TRA Holders. The Corporation shall pay the Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amount as a Tax Benefit Payment in subsequent years to the TRA Holders whose Tax Benefit Payments were reduced by reason of this Section 2.05, with the limitation contained in this Section 2.05 being applied to each such payment. No payment under this Agreement shall be made in respect of any subsequent Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payment Reduction Amounts have been paid in full.

Article III
EARLY TERMINATIONS

Section 3.01 Early Termination Events.

(a) Early Termination Election by Corporation. The Corporation may terminate all or a portion of the rights under this Agreement with respect to the Blocked TRA Holders and/or all or a portion of the Units held (including those previously Exchanged) by all TRA Holders at any time by (A) delivering an Early Termination Notice as provided in ‎Section 3.02(a) and (B) paying the Early Termination Payment as provided in ‎Section 3.03(a). If the Corporation terminates less than all of the rights under this Agreement with respect to the TRA Holders, such termination shall be made among the TRA Holders in such manner that it results in each TRA Holder receiving the same proportion of the Early Termination Payment made at that time as each TRA Holder would have received had the Corporation terminated all of the rights of the TRA Holders under this Agreement at that time.

(b) Deemed Early Termination.

(i) Deemed Early Termination Event. Upon a Material Uncured Breach of this Agreement with respect to a TRA Holder (an “Affected TRA Holder”) or as soon as reasonably practicable before a Change of Control (each, a “Deemed Early Termination Event”), (A) the Corporation (or the TRA Representative (with a copy to the Corporation)) shall deliver, (x) in the case of a Material Uncured Breach, to the Affected TRA Holder(s) or, (y) in the case of a Change of Control, to all TRA Holders, an Early Termination Notice as provided in ‎Section 3.02(a), and (B) all obligations under this Agreement with respect to such TRA Holder(s) shall be accelerated on the date of such Material Uncured Breach or on the effective date of such Change of Control, as applicable.

(ii) Payment upon Deemed Early Termination Event. The amount payable to the applicable TRA Holder as a result of an acceleration contemplated in ‎Section 3.01(b)(i) shall equal the sum of:

(A) an Early Termination Payment calculated with respect to such TRA Holder(s) pursuant to this Article III as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of the Deemed Early Termination Event using the Valuation Assumptions but substituting the phrase “the date of the Deemed Early Termination Event” in each place where the phrase “Early Termination Date” appears;

- 8 -

(B) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and such TRA Holder(s) as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of such Deemed Early Termination Event; and

(C) any Tax Benefit Payment due to such TRA Holder(s) for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such Deemed Early Termination Event (except to the extent that any amounts described in clauses (B) or (C) are included in the amount payable upon early termination).

(iii) Waiver of Deemed Early Termination. A TRA Holder may elect to waive the acceleration of obligations under this Agreement triggered by a Deemed Early Termination Event by submitting a waiver in writing to the Corporation within 30 days after the date of the Early Termination Notice. If a TRA Holder elects to waive the acceleration of obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to that TRA Holder as though no Deemed Early Termination Event had occurred, and, if there are any due and unpaid amounts with respect to that TRA Holder, the Corporation shall pay those amounts to the TRA Holder in the manner provided in this Agreement.

Section 3.02 Early Termination Notice and Early Termination Schedule.

(a) Notice; Schedule.

(i) Delivery of Early Termination Notice and Early Termination Schedule. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under ‎Section 3.01(a) above, or if there is a Deemed Early Termination Event under ‎Section 3.01(b) above, the Corporation shall, within 30 days after the Corporation elects to terminate this Agreement or the effective date of the Deemed Early Termination Event, deliver to each TRA Holder whose rights are being terminated a notice (an “Early Termination Notice”) specifying (x) such early termination and (y) the date on which the termination of rights is to be effective (the “Early Termination Date”), which date shall be (I) the date of the Material Uncured Breach of this Agreement, in the case of a Material Uncured Breach, (II) the effective date of the Change of Control in the case of a Change of Control, and (III) not less than 30 days and not more than 120 days after the date of the Early Termination Notice in the case of a termination pursuant to ‎Section 3.01(a). Within 60 days after the Corporation delivers an Early Termination Notice, the Corporation shall deliver to the applicable TRA Holder(s) a schedule showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment with respect to each TRA Holder as determined in accordance with ‎Section 3.01(b)(ii)(A), (B) and (C) (the “Early Termination Schedule”), together with a Supporting Letter in respect of such schedule.

- 9 -

(ii) Finalization of Early Termination Schedule; Disputes. The applicable Early Termination Schedule delivered to a TRA Holder pursuant to ‎Section 3.02(a)(i) shall become final and binding on the Corporation and such TRA Holder unless that TRA Holder, within 30 days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”). If the Corporation and such TRA Holder are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in the Material Objection Notice within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and the TRA Holder shall employ the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in ‎Section 6.09.

(iii) Withdrawal of Early Termination Notice. The Corporation may withdraw an Early Termination Notice delivered in connection with ‎Section 3.01(a) before the Early Termination Payment is due and payable to any applicable TRA Holder(s).

(b) Amendment of Early Termination Schedule. After finalization of an Early Termination Schedule in accordance with ‎Section 3.02(a)(ii), any Early Termination Schedule shall be amended by the Corporation at any time before the Early Termination Payment is made (i) in connection with a Determination materially affecting such schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in any such schedule, or (iii) to comply with the Arbitrators’ determinations under ‎Section 6.09. Any amendment shall be subject to the procedures of ‎Section 3.02(a)(ii) and the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in ‎Section 6.09.

Section 3.03 Early Termination Payment.

(a) Amount and Timing of Early Termination Payment. The payment due to a TRA Holder in connection with an early termination described in ‎Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b) (the “Early Termination Payment”) shall be an amount equal to the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that the Corporation would be required to pay to the TRA Holder beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied. Not later than 10 days after an Early Termination Schedule delivered to a TRA Holder becomes final in accordance with ‎Section 3.02(a)(ii), the Corporation shall pay to the TRA Holder the Early Termination Payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other amounts due pursuant to ‎Section 3.01(b)(ii)(B) and Section 3.01(b)(ii)(C)) due to that TRA Holder.

(b) Effect of Early Termination Payment. Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Corporation under ‎Section 3.03, neither the TRA Holder nor the Corporation shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement in respect of the payments that otherwise would be due pursuant to this Agreement or the Units (including those previously Exchanged) with respect to which the rights under this Agreement have been terminated in accordance with ‎Section 3.01, other than for any (i) payment under this Agreement that is due and payable but has not been paid as of the Early Termination Date and (ii) Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Date (except to the extent that the amounts described in clauses (i) or (ii) are included in the Early Termination Payment). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Exchange occurs after the Corporation has made an Early Termination Payments with respect to all Units (including those previously Exchanged), the Corporation shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange other than any obligations described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(a) Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group. If the Corporation 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, local or non-U.S. law (a “Consolidated Group”), then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the Consolidated Group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items in this Agreement shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the Consolidated Group as a whole. Nothing in this Section 3.04(a) shall be interpreted to alter the circumstances that give rise to an early termination as described in Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b).

(b) Transfers of Assets by Corporation.

(i) General Rule. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Corporation transfers one or more assets to a corporation with which the transferor does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to section 1501 et. seq. of the Code, then, for purposes of calculating the amount of any payment due under this Agreement, the transferor shall be treated as having disposed of such asset(s) in a fully taxable transaction on the date of the transfer.

(ii) Rules of Application. For purposes of this Section 3.04(b):

(A) Except as provided in Section 3.04(b)(ii)(B), the consideration deemed to be received by the transferor in the transaction shall be deemed to equal the fair market value of the transferred asset(s) (taking into account the principles of section 7701(g) of the Code);

(B) The consideration deemed to be received by the transferor in exchange for a partnership interest shall be deemed to equal the fair market value of the partnership interest increased by any liabilities (as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.752-1(a)(4)) of the partnership allocated to the transferor with regard to such transferred interest under section 752 of the Code immediately after the transfer; and

(C) A transfer to a “corporation” (other than the Corporation) includes a transfer to any entity or arrangement classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and “partnership” includes any entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes

Article IV
SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

Section 4.02 Late Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any amount due under the terms of this Agreement that is not paid to any TRA Holder when due shall be payable, together with any interest thereon computed at the Default Rate commencing from the date on which such payment was due and payable. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Default Rate shall not apply (and the Agreed Rate shall apply) to any late payment that is late solely as a result of (a) a prohibition, restriction or covenant under any credit agreement, loan agreement, note, indenture or other agreement governing indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Corporation or (b) restrictions under applicable law.

Section 4.03 Manner of Payment. All payments required to be made to a TRA Holder pursuant to this Agreement will be made by electronic payment of immediately available funds to a bank account previously designated and owned by such TRA Holder or, if no such account has been designated, by check payable to such TRA Holder.

The Corporation and the TRA Holders agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax purposes and financial reporting purposes, all tax-related items (including without limitation the Basis Adjustment and each Tax Benefit Payment) in a manner consistent with that specified by the Corporation in any schedule provided by or on behalf of the Corporation under this Agreement unless the Corporation or a TRA Holder receives a written opinion from an Advisory Firm that reporting in such manner should result in an imposition of penalties pursuant to the Code. Any Dispute concerning such written opinion shall be subject to the Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in ‎Section 6.09.

Section 5.03 Cooperation. Each TRA Holder shall (a) furnish to the Corporation in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials, not to include such TRA Holder’s personal Tax Returns, as the Corporation may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority, (b) make itself available to the Corporation and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as the Corporation or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) of this ‎Section 5.03, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter.

Section 5.05 Available Cash. The Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that it has sufficient Available Cash to make all payments due under this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to determine that there is Available Cash and to cause the Company to make distributions to the Corporation to make such payments so long as such distributions do not violate (a) a prohibition, restriction or covenant under any credit agreement, loan agreement, note, indenture or other agreement governing indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Corporation or (b) restrictions under applicable law.

Section 5.06 TRA Representative.

(d) Successor TRA Representative. If at any time the TRA Representative is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, the person then-serving as the TRA Representative shall be entitled to appoint its successor. If the TRA Representative fails to appoint a successor that will serve as of the effective date of the termination of the then-serving TRA Representative’s tenure, the Corporation shall be entitled to appoint the successor. In either case, such successor shall be subject to the approval of the TRA Holders who would be entitled to receive at least fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of the Early Termination Payments that would be payable to all TRA Holders if the Corporation had exercised its right of early termination under ‎Section 3.01(a) on the date of the most recent Exchange as of the effective date of the resignation of the then-serving TRA Representative. If such successor does not receive the requisite approval, the Corporation and the TRA Holders shall attempt to resolve the matter in good faith. If no such resolution has occurred by the earlier of (i) 90 days following the termination of tenure and (ii) five (5) days before a TRA Representative will be required to take an action or make a decision under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be entitled to appoint the successor, who shall serve as the TRA Representative.

- 17 -

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in any Dispute proceeding (i) the TRA Representative shall represent the interests of any TRA Holder(s) other than the Blocked TRA Holders in any Dispute and no TRA Holder other than the Blocked TRA Holders shall individually have the right to participate in any proceeding and (ii) the Blocked TRA Holders shall represent the interest of the Blocked TRA Holders.

(c) Selection of Arbitrators; Timing. There shall be three Arbitrators who shall be appointed by the parties within 20 days of receipt by a party of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The Corporation shall appoint one arbitrator and the TRA Representative and, if the arbitration involves the Blocked TRA Holders, the Blocked TRA Holders, shall appoint one arbitrator (with the appointment being subject, in each case, to the reasonable objection of the other party), and the parties shall jointly appoint the third arbitrator. If any of the Arbitrators is not appointed within 20 days, and the parties have not agreed to extend the 20-day time period, such arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, with each party being given a limited number of strikes, except for cause.

Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees incurred in the underlying arbitration.

- 19 -

(e) Confidentiality. All Disputes shall be resolved in a confidential manner. The Arbitrators shall agree to hold any information received during the arbitration in the strictest of confidence and shall not disclose to any non-party the existence, contents or results of the arbitration or any other information about such arbitration. The parties to the arbitration shall not disclose any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other party in the arbitration proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the proceeding except as may be required by law, regulatory or governmental authority or as may be necessary in an action in aid of arbitration or for enforcement of an arbitral award. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence (other than private disclosure to financial regulatory authorities), the party intending to make such disclosure shall use reasonable efforts to give the other party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.

(f) Discovery. Barring extraordinary circumstances (as determined in the sole discretion of the Arbitrators), discovery shall be limited to pre-hearing disclosure of documents that each side shall present in support of its case, and non-privileged documents essential to a matter of import in the proceeding for which a party has demonstrated a substantial need. The parties agree that they shall produce to each other all such requested non-privileged documents, except documents objected to and with respect to which a ruling has been or shall be sought from the Arbitrators. The parties agree that information from the Corporate Tax Return (including by way of a redacted Corporate Tax Return) shall be sufficient, and that the Corporation shall not be compelled to produce any unredacted Tax Returns. There will be no depositions or live witness testimony.

Section 6.10 Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts, if any, as the Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and are (or, when due, will be) paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was made. Each TRA Holder shall promptly provide the Corporation or other applicable withholding agent with any necessary tax forms, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, as the Corporation may request from time to time in determining whether any such deductions and withholdings are required under any applicable law, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the appropriate Form W-8, as applicable. Before any withholding is made pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) notify the applicable TRA Holder and (b) cooperate in good faith with such TRA Holder to avoid such withholding, unless the TRA Holder has failed to comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence.

2.1.1 Filing.

Such 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 named therein. Following the filing of a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a 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 outstanding.

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, 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 Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company 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 (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) 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 the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form.

2.1.3 Additional Registrable Securities. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Holder that holds at least five (5.0%) percent of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’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 hereof.

2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any one or more Holders (in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided in each case that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder(s) with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $35 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). Other than a Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.4, all requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Promptly (but in any event within ten (10) days) after receipt of a request for Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company shall give written notice of the Underwritten Shelf Takedown to all other Holders. Subject to Section 2.4.3, the Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Legacy Rubicon Equityholders, on the one hand, and the Sponsor, on the other hand, may each demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

2.1.5 Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Other than with respect to a Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.4, if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy-back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (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 the Company 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 Shelf Takedown pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, in such Underwriter’s reasonable judgment, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown 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 the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, before including any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata, as nearly as practicable, 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 and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. To facilitate the allocation of Registrable Securities in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the Underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. The Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its Underwriters.

2.1.6 Withdrawal. Other than with respect to a Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.4, prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest 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 the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that any Holder may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the remaining Holders. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless the Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that, if a Legacy Rubicon Equityholder or the Sponsor elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Legacy Rubicon Equityholders or the Sponsor, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company 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 in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.

2.1.7 New Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly and no later than 15 days after receiving such notice from the Commission, (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Shelf Registration as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Shelf Registration and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale of the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event the Company amends the Shelf Registration or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf Registration, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

2.1.8 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1.3 or Section 2.1.4 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. Subject to Section 2.4.3, if the Company or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), 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, (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (v) for a rights offering, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing 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, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities included in such Registration 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 enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company to the extent the Registration was initiated by the Company for its own account and not any Holder pursuant to Section 2.1.

2.2.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company 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 or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company 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 2.2.1, pro rata (as nearly as practicable), based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders, 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 or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(b) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, 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 2.2.1, pro rata (as nearly as practicable), based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders, 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 the Company 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 for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(c) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering such Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1.5.

2.2.3 Piggyback Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdrawal from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission 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 xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own 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 Commission 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 in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.6), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2.1.4 hereof.

2.3 Market Stand-Off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company, each Holder that elects to participate in the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the terms of this Agreement agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the 90-day period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering or such shorter period during which the Company agrees not to conduct an underwritten primary offering of Common Stock, except in the event the Underwriters managing the offering otherwise agree by written consent. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

2.4 Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.

2.4.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission and effective, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) a Block Trade or (b) an “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal (an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either (x) $35 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then notwithstanding the time periods provided for in Section 2.1.4, such Demanding Holder shall notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters or placement agents or sales agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering and any related due diligence and comfort procedures.

2.4.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters or placement agents or sales agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.2.

2.4.3 Any Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be deemed an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and within the cap on Underwritten Shelf Takedowns provided in the last sentence of Section 2.1.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 hereof shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

2.4.4 The majority in interest of the Demanding Holder initiating such Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters and any sale agents or placement agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn.

3.1.4 Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such Holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any Prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such Prospectus will not contain a Misstatement, and promptly make available to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that no less than five (5) days before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company shall consider such comments in good faith before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference.

3.1.5 State Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction.

3.1.6 Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement or other sales or distribution agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

3.1.7 Records. The Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply any information reasonably requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that such Underwriter, placement agent, sales agent or other representatives enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information.

3.1.8 Opinions and Comfort Letters. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (i) a “comfort” letter (including a bring-down letter dated as of the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration) from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders, and (ii) an opinion and negative assurance letter, to be delivered on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration Statement, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sale agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders; provided, however, that counsel for the Company shall not be required to provide any opinions with respect to any Holder.

3.1.9 Earnings Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to its shareholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

3.1.10 Listing. The Company shall cause all Registrable Securities included in any registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.

3.1.11 Road Show. The Company shall make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering.

3.1.12 Legend Removal. Upon request of a Holder, the Company shall (i) authorize the Company’s transfer agent to remove any legend on share certificates of such Holder’s Common Stock restricting further transfer (or any similar restriction in book entry positions of such Holder) if such restrictions are no longer required by the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or any agreement with the Company to which such Holder is a party, including if such shares subject to such a restriction have been sold on a Registration Statement and are no longer held by an affiliate of the Company, (ii) request the Company’s transfer agent to issue in lieu thereof shares of Common Stock without such restrictions to the Holder upon, as applicable, surrender of any stock certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock, or to update the applicable book entry position of such Holder so that it no longer is subject to such a restriction, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Holder to have such Holder’s shares of Common Stock transferred into a book-entry position at The Depository Trust Company, in each case, subject to delivery of by the Holder of customary documentation requested by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent, including any documentation required to be provided by the Company by such restrictive legend or book-entry notation or as may be requested by the Company’s transfer agent.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ or agents’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Information. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement or Prospectus, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Article 2 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide such information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company 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 or other coordinated offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company 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 (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time the Company becomes aware of the Misstatement), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (any such period, a “Suspension Period”).

3.4.2 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) consecutive days after such notice is given to the Holders (any such period, a “Blackout Period”). In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, in no event shall any Suspension Period or any Blackout Period continue for more than one-hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate during any 365-day period.

3.4.3 (a) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date three hundred and sixty five (365) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and such Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or Section 2.4.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, 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 the Company after the date hereof 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. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification by the Company. To the extent permitted by law and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.4.3 hereof , the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls a Holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Holder Indemnified Party”), from and against all losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses arises out of or is based upon any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by a Holder Indemnified Party expressly for use therein.

4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.4.3 hereof, each selling Holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, legal counsel and accountants for the Company and each Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent (if any), and each other selling Holder and each other person, if any, who controls the Company, another selling holder or such Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement contained in any Registration Statement, if the Misstatement or alleged Misstatement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each selling Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and several and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party provided, that, if (i) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it which are additional to or conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the Indemnified Party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

4.4 Contribution

4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the Misstatement or alleged Misstatement relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Misstatement or alleged Misstatement.

4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 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 the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) with respect to any action shall be entitled to contribution in such action from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5. MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in the Subscription Agreements, the Company represents and warrants that no person, other than the holders of the Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any shares of the Company’s capital stock for sale or to include shares of the Company’s capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or for the account of any other person.

5.2 Acknowledgment. The Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that their respective Registrable Securities (other than their respective Registrable Securities acquired in the public market or pursuant to a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a subscription agreement where the issuance of Registrable Securities occurs on or after the closing of the Merger) are subject to the lock-up provisions set forth in (a) with respect to the Sponsor, Section 3 of that certain letter agreement, dated as of December 15, 2021, by and among SPAC, the Sponsor, Legacy Rubicon and the other parties thereto, and (b) with respect to the Rubicon Equityholders, the lock-up agreement, dated as of December 15, 2021, between the Rubicon Equityholders and the Company.

5.3 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties, to the permitted assigns of the Holders or holder of Registrable Securities or of any assignee of the Holders or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 5.3.

5.4 Modifications, Amendments and Waivers. Prior to the Closing, upon the written consent of Rubicon and the Company, and from and after the Closing, upon the written consent of (a) the Company and (b) the Holders of a majority of the total Registrable Securities, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that in the event any such waiver, amendment or modification would be adverse in any material respect to the material rights or obligations hereunder of a Holder, the written consent of such Holder will also be required; provided further that in the event any such waiver, amendment or modification would be disproportionate and adverse in any material respect to the material rights or obligations hereunder of a Holder, the written consent of such Holder will also be required. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

5.5 Termination of Existing Registration Rights. The registration rights granted under this Agreement shall supersede any registration, qualification or similar rights of the Holders with respect to any shares or securities of the Company or Legacy Rubicon granted under any other agreement, including, but not limited to, the Prior Agreement and that certain Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2020, by and among Legacy Rubicon Equityholders and the other parties thereto, any of such preexisting registration, qualification or similar rights and such agreements shall be terminated and of no further force and effect.

5.6 Term. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Article IV shall survive any termination.

5.7 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications among the parties hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service or (iv) when e-mailed during normal business hours (and otherwise as of the immediately following Business Day), addressed as follows:

5.9 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (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.

5.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) 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, 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 PROCEEDING, 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. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) 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, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.10.

5.11 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto 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 sitting in Wilmington, Delaware), for the purposes of any proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto 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. 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 (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (A) any claim that such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 5.11 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 in accordance with Section 5.7 shall be effective service of process for any such proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action.

5.12 Remedies. 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 hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) such parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages and without posting a bond, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.12 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

5.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any other documents, instruments and certificates explicitly referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto or any of their respective subsidiaries with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter contemplated by this Agreement exist between the parties hereto, except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement.

5.14 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

5.15 Captions. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

5.16 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any joinder to this Agreement by electronic means, including DocuSign, e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

5.17 Several Liability. The liability of any Holder hereunder is several (and not joint). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will any Holder be liable for any other Holder’s breach of such other Holder’s obligations under this Agreement.

5.18 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as of the date of this Agreement and may not be revoked by any party hereto; provided, however, that the provisions herein shall not be effective until the consummation of the Merger. In the event the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.
