For the avoidance of doubt, the Hypothetical Tax Liability shall be determined without taking into account the carryover or carryback of any Tax item (or portions thereof) that is attributable to the Basis Adjustment, Imputed Interest, or such deduction arising from the Asset Purchase with respect to such LLC Unit Holder, as applicable. If a Hypothetical Tax Liability is being calculated with respect to a portion of a taxable year, then calculations of the Hypothetical Tax Liability (including determinations relating to Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest to the extent applicable) shall be made as if there were an interim closing of the books of the relevant entity and its Subsidiaries and the taxable year had closed on the relevant date.

ARTICLE II.

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

2.1. Tax Benefit Schedule.

(a) Tax Benefit Schedule. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the due date (taking into account valid extensions) of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of Corporate Taxpayer (or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) for any taxable year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to the TSG Representative and each LLC Unit Holder who has previously effected an Exchange a schedule showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment in respect of such LLC Unit Holder for such taxable year and any Tax Benefit Payment in respect of such LLC Unit Holder (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). The Tax Benefit Schedules provided by Corporate Taxpayer will become final as provided in Section 2.2(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.2(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Pla-Fit LLC will ensure that an election under Section 754 of the Code is in effect at all times (until Pla-Fit LLC becomes an entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

(b) Applicable Principles. Subject to Section 3.3(a), the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment in respect of each LLC Unit Holder for each taxable year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the actual liability for Taxes of Corporate Taxpayer and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (and Pla-Fit LLC and its Subsidiaries, as applicable and without duplication) for such taxable year (or portion thereof) attributable to the Basis Adjustments, the Imputed Interest, and deductions arising from the Asset Purchase, determined using a “with and without” methodology. For the avoidance of doubt, the actual liability for Taxes of Corporate Taxpayer and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (and Pla-Fit LLC and its Subsidiaries, as applicable and without duplication) will take into account any deduction of Imputed Interest. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to the Basis Adjustments, Imputed Interest, and deductions arising from the Asset Purchase shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local income and franchise tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. The parties agree that (i) all Tax Benefit Payments to an LLC Unit Holder attributable to the Basis Adjustments in respect of a taxable Exchange (other than amounts accounted for as interest under the Code) will be treated as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments that have the effect of creating additional Basis Adjustments in respect of such LLC Unit Holder to Reference Assets for the Corporate Taxpayer or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, in the year of payment, and (ii) as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments in respect of such LLC Unit Holder will be incorporated into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate.

2.2. Procedure, Amendments.

(a) Procedure. Every time Corporate Taxpayer delivers to the TSG Representative an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b), including any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, Corporate Taxpayer shall also (i) allow the TSG Representative

reasonable access, at the Corporate Taxpayer’s sole cost, to the appropriate representatives, as determined by Corporate Taxpayer, at Corporate Taxpayer and the Advisory Firm that prepared the relevant Corporate Taxpayer Returns in connection with a review of such Schedule and (ii) provide a copy of the applicable Schedule upon request to the Founder Investors if the Founder Investors then collectively hold five percent (5%) or more of the present value of all Early Termination Payments under this Agreement (measured by present value of payments due under this Agreement, using the present value calculation and assumptions described under Section 4.3(b) above assuming for such purpose the Early Termination Date is the date the applicable Schedule is delivered). Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, the Corporate Taxpayer shall, upon request, deliver to the TSG Representative the relevant Corporate Taxpayer Returns as well as any other work papers but shall be entitled to redact any information that it reasonably believes is unnecessary for purposes of the calculations contemplated by this Agreement. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall, subject to the final sentence of this Section 2.2(a), become final and binding on each LLC Unit Holder (other than with respect to the TSG Representative and its Affiliates) immediately; except that the Schedule or amendment shall become final and binding with respect to the TSG Representative and its Affiliates thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which the Corporate Taxpayer sent the TSG Representative the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless (a) the TSG Representative within thirty (30) calendar days after the date Corporate Taxpayer sent such Schedule or amendment thereto provides Corporate Taxpayer with written notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith and setting forth in reasonable detail the TSG Representative’s material objection along with a letter from an Advisory Firm supporting such objection, if such objection relates to the application of Tax law (an “Objection Notice”) or (b) the TSG Representative provides a written waiver of the right of the TSG Representative to provide any Objection Notice with respect to such Schedule or amendment thereto within the period described in clause (i), in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by Corporate Taxpayer. If the parties are unable to resolve the issues raised in such Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by Corporate Taxpayer of the Objection Notice, the parties shall employ the reconciliation procedures described in Section 7.8 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”). If a Schedule relating to the calculation of payments payable to the TSG Representative or any of its Affiliates hereunder is amended to reflect a revised calculation methodology that, if utilized in the calculation of amounts payable to one or more other LLC Unit Holders, would change the amounts payable to such other Persons hereunder, the Corporate Taxpayer shall utilize such revised methodology with respect to all LLC Unit Holders and make additional payments (or reduce future payments), as applicable.

(b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any taxable year may be amended from time to time by Corporate Taxpayer (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified after the date the Schedule was provided to the LLC Unit Holder, (iii) to comply with an Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures applicable to this Agreement, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment in respect of an LLC Unit Holder for such taxable year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax item to such taxable year, (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment in respect of an LLC Unit Holder for such taxable year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such taxable year, or (vi) to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”).

2.3. Consistency with Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all calculations and determinations hereunder, including Basis Adjustments, the Schedules, and the determination of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, shall be made in accordance with any elections, methodologies or positions taken on the relevant Corporate Taxpayer Returns.

ARTICLE III.

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

3.1. Payments.

(a) Payments. Subject to Section 3.3, within five (5) Business Days after all the Tax Benefit Schedules with respect to the taxable year delivered to LLC Unit Holders entitled to receive a Tax Benefit Schedule pursuant to this Agreement become final in accordance with Article II of this Agreement, Corporate Taxpayer shall pay or cause to be paid to each applicable LLC Unit Holder for such taxable year such LLC Unit Holder’s Tax Benefit Payment (if any) determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b). Each such payment shall be made, at the sole discretion of Corporate Taxpayer, by wire or Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by the applicable LLC Unit Holder to Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by Corporate Taxpayer and the applicable LLC Unit Holder.

(b) A “Tax Benefit Payment” in respect of an LLC Unit Holder for a taxable year means an aggregate amount, not less than zero, which Corporate Taxpayer is required to pay or cause to be paid pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement, equal to the sum of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount in respect of such LLC Unit Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, for Tax purposes, the Interest Amount shall not be treated as interest but instead shall be treated as additional consideration for the acquisition of LLC Units in Exchanges, unless otherwise required by law, as reasonably determined by Corporate Taxpayer. The “Net Tax Benefit” in respect of such LLC Unit Holder for a taxable year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit in respect of such LLC Unit Holder as of the end of such taxable year (or portion thereof) over the total amount of payments previously made under this Section 3.1 in respect of such LLC Unit Holder (excluding payments of Interest Amounts); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that an LLC Unit Holder shall not be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment except in the case of manifest error. The “Interest Amount” in respect of such LLC Unit Holder for a taxable year (or portion thereof) shall equal the interest on the Net Tax Benefit in respect of such LLC Unit Holder with respect to such taxable year (or portion thereof) calculated at the Agreed Rate compounded annually from the due date (without extensions) for filing the U.S. federal income Tax Return of Corporate Taxpayer for such taxable year until the Payment Date. The Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount shall be determined separately with respect to each separate Exchange on an individual basis by reference to the resulting Basis Adjustment to the Corporate Taxpayer.

3.2. Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in a duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement, subject to ARTICLE IV and Section 7.12, will result in 85% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit (but calculated taking into account all Exchanges by all LLC Unit Holders as of any time) as of any determination date being paid to the LLC Unit Holders pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to ensure such intentions are realized.

3.3. Pro Rata Payments; Coordination of Benefits.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1 to the contrary, to the extent that the aggregate tax benefit of the Corporate Taxpayer’s, and/or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries’, as applicable, deductions within Net Tax Benefit (including the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest under this Agreement) is limited in a particular taxable year because the Corporate Taxpayer and/or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, does or do not have sufficient taxable income or other limitations to utilize the tax benefits within Net Tax Benefit (including the Basis Adjustments or Imputed Interest), the Net Tax Benefit shall be allocated among all parties eligible for payments hereunder in proportion to the respective amounts of Net Tax Benefit that would have been allocated to each such party if the Corporate Taxpayer and, as applicable, its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, had sufficient taxable income so that there were no such limitation (or such other limitations did not apply).

(b) After taking into account Section 3.3(a), if for any reason the Corporate Taxpayer does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make or cause to be made all Tax Benefit Payments due under this Agreement in respect of a particular taxable year, then the Corporate Taxpayer and the parties agree that no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any taxable year until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior taxable years have been made in full. If for any reason the Tax Benefit Payments are to be partially but not fully satisfied with respect to a taxable year, such Tax Benefit Payments shall be made in the same proportion as the Tax Benefit Payments that would have been paid to each LLC Unit Holders if the Corporate Taxpayer were to satisfy its obligation in full.

ARTICLE IV.

TERMINATION

4.1. Early Termination, Change in Control and Breach of Agreement.

(a) Corporate Taxpayer may, with the consent of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board, terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable to all of the LLC Unit Holders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any transferee pursuant to Section 7.5(a)) at any time by paying or causing to be paid to such Persons an Early Termination Payment; provided, however, that this Agreement shall only terminate with respect to any such Person upon the payment of such Early Termination Payment to such Person, and provided, further, that Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of an Early Termination Payment to an LLC Unit Holder, neither the LLC Unit Holder nor Corporate Taxpayer shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any Tax Benefit Payment (1) agreed to by Corporate Taxpayer and the

LLC Unit Holder as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Date, (2) that is the subject of an Objection Notice, which will be payable in accordance with resolution of the issues identified in such Objection Notice pursuant to this Agreement, and (3) due for the taxable year ending with or including the Early Termination Date (except to the extent that the amounts described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) are included in the calculation of the Early Termination Payment). If an Exchange occurs with respect to LLC Units (or other interests in the company pursuant to a “disguised sale” transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with respect to which Corporate Taxpayer has previously paid or cause to be paid to the applicable LLC Unit Holder an Early Termination Payment, Corporate Taxpayer shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange.

(b) In the event that there occurs a Change in Control or Corporate Taxpayer materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated, and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such Change in Control or breach, as applicable, to each LLC Unit Holder and shall include (1) each Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such Change in Control or breach (and Corporate Taxpayer shall provide each LLC Unit Holder with an Early Termination Schedule, which shall become final in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.2), (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by Corporate Taxpayer and any LLC Unit Holder as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of such Change in Control or breach, as applicable, (3) any Tax Benefit Payment that is the subject of an Objection Notice, which will be payable in accordance with resolution of the issues identified in such Objection Notice pursuant to this Agreement, and (4) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the taxable year ending with or including the date of such Change in Control or breach, as applicable (except to the extent that the amounts described in clauses (2), (3) and (4) are included in the calculation of the amount described in clause (1)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Corporate Taxpayer materially breaches this Agreement, each LLC Unit Holder shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The parties agree that it will not be considered to be a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if Corporate Taxpayer fails to make or cause to be made any Tax Benefit Payment (or portion thereof) when due to the extent that the Board determines in good faith that Corporate Taxpayer has insufficient funds (taking into account funds of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries that are permitted to be distributed to Corporate Taxpayer pursuant to the terms of any applicable credit agreements or other documents evidencing indebtedness (each as reasonably interpreted by the Board), including any available funds under any revolving credit facility of Pla-Fit LLC or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, but not taking into account funds of Subsidiaries that are not permitted to be distributed pursuant to the terms of such agreements or documents and not taking into account funds reasonably reserved for reasonably expected liabilities or expenses) to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.2

shall apply to such late payment (unless the Board determines in good faith that (x) Corporate Taxpayer does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by credit agreements or any other documents evidencing indebtedness to which Pla-Fit LLC is a party, guarantor or otherwise an obligor as of the date of this Agreement (or within the one-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement) (the “Initial Debt Documents”) or any other document evidencing indebtedness to which Pla-Fit LLC becomes a party, guarantor or otherwise an obligor thereafter to the extent the terms of such other documents are not materially more restrictive in respect of Corporate Taxpayer’s ability to receive from its direct or indirect Subsidiaries funds sufficient to make such payments compared to the terms of the Initial Debt Documents (as determined by the Board in good faith), provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer uses good faith efforts to remove such limitations to the extent required to make such interest payments unless such efforts could have an adverse effect on the Corporate Taxpayer, Pla-Fit LLC or their Subsidiaries, or (y) such payments could (I) be set aside as fraudulent transfers or conveyances or similar actions under fraudulent transfer laws or (II) could cause Corporate Taxpayer and/or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries to be undercapitalized, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate).

4.2. Early Termination Notice. If Corporate Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1 above, Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to the TSG Representative and each LLC Unit Holder notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying Corporate Taxpayer’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment for such LLC Unit Holder. The Early Termination Schedule provided to an LLC Unit Holder shall become final and binding on each LLC Unit Holder (other than with respect to the TSG Representative and its Affiliates) immediately; except that the Early Termination Schedule will become final and binding with respect to the TSG Representative and its Affiliates thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which the Corporate Taxpayer sent the TSG Representative such Early Termination Schedule unless (a) the TSG Representative within thirty (30) calendar days after the date the Corporate Taxpayer sent such Schedule or amendment thereto provides Corporate Taxpayer with an Objection Notice with respect to such Early Termination Schedule or (b) the applicable LLC Unit Holder provides a written waiver of the right of the TSG Representative to provide any Objection Notice with respect to such Schedule or amendment thereto within the period described in clause (a), in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by Corporate Taxpayer. If Corporate Taxpayer and the TSG Representative, for any reason, are unable to resolve the issues raised in such Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by Corporate Taxpayer of the Objection Notice, Corporate Taxpayer and the TSG Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. The date on which every Early Termination Schedule under this Agreement becomes final with respect to all LLC Unit Holders in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be the “Early Termination Effective Date”. If the Early Termination Schedule relating to the calculation of payments payable to the TSG Representative or any of its Affiliates hereunder is amended to reflect a revised calculation methodology that, if utilized in the calculation of amounts payable to one or more other LLC Unit Holders, would change the amounts payable to such other Persons hereunder, the Corporate Taxpayer shall utilize such revised methodology with respect to all LLC Unit Holders and make additional payments (or reduce payments, if any), as applicable.

4.3. Payment upon Early Termination.

(a) Within five (5) Business Days after the Early Termination Effective Date, Corporate Taxpayer shall pay or cause to be paid to each LLC Unit Holder an amount equal to its Early Termination Payment. Such payment shall be made, at the sole discretion of Corporate Taxpayer, by wire or Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the LLC Unit Holder or as otherwise agreed by Corporate Taxpayer and the LLC Unit Holder.

(b) An “Early Termination Payment” in respect of an LLC Unit Holder shall equal the net present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by Corporate Taxpayer to the applicable LLC Unit Holder under Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement beginning from the Early Termination Date and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

ARTICLE V.

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

5.1. Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment (or portion thereof) or Early Termination Payment required to be made to an LLC Unit Holder under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest (including interest which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding in bankruptcy, or the reorganization of the Corporate Taxpayer or any Subsidiary thereof), fees, premiums, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees or other obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of Corporate Taxpayer (and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, if applicable) (“Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of Corporate Taxpayer (and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) that are not Senior Obligations.

5.2. Late Payments by Corporate Taxpayer. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment not made to an LLC Unit Holder when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate (or the Agreed Rate, to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement) and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment (or portion thereof) or Early Termination Payment was due and payable.

ARTICLE VI.

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION

6.1. Participation in Corporate Taxpayer’s and Pla-Fit LLC’s Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Recapitalization Agreement, Exchange Agreement or LLC Agreement, Corporate Taxpayer shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning Corporate Taxpayer (and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries), Pla-Fit LLC and their respective Subsidiaries, including the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Taxpayer shall notify the TSG Representative of, and keep the TSG Representative reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporate

Taxpayer and Pla-Fit LLC by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the rights and obligations of the TSG Representative and its Affiliates under this Agreement, and shall provide to the TSG Representative reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the Corporate Taxpayer, Pla-Fit LLC and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Corporate Taxpayer and Pla-Fit LLC shall not take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the LLC Agreement or the Exchange Agreement.

6.2. Consistency. Corporate Taxpayer and each LLC Unit Holder agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including federal, state and local Tax purposes, all Tax-related items (including the Basis Adjustments and each Tax Benefit Payment and any Imputed Interest) in a manner consistent with that specified by Corporate Taxpayer in any Schedule provided by or on behalf of Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement unless otherwise required by law based on written advice of an Advisory Firm. Each LLC Unit Holder that does intend to report inconsistently with Corporate Taxpayer in any Schedule provided by or on behalf of Corporate Taxpayer under this Agreement shall provide thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Corporate Taxpayer.

6.3. Cooperation. Each LLC Unit Holder shall (a) furnish to Corporate Taxpayer in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as Corporate Taxpayer may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return, complying with any Tax law, or contesting or defending any audit, examination or controversy with any Taxing Authority or other governmental authority, (b) make itself available to Corporate Taxpayer and its representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as Corporate Taxpayer or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (a) above, and (c) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter, and Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse the LLC Unit Holder for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 6.3.

ARTICLE VII.

7.2. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile signature page (or signature page in similar electronic form) hereto shall be treated by the parties for all purposes as equivalent to a manually signed signature page.

7.3. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

7.4. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

7.5. Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers.

(a) An LLC Unit Holder shall be permitted to transfer any of its rights only upon execution and delivery by the transferee of a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit A to this Agreement, in which the transferee agrees to become an “LLC Unit Holder” for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder. If the TSG Representative and/or one of its Affiliates assigns its rights under this Agreement, such transferee shall also have the rights provided to the TSG Representative.

(b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by Corporate Taxpayer and each LLC Unit Holder party to the Agreement that, together with its Affiliates, would be entitled to ten percent (10%) or more of the present value of all Early Termination Payments under this Agreement (measured by present value of payments due under this Agreement, using the present value calculation and assumptions described under Section 4.3(b) above assuming for such purpose the Early Termination Date is the date the amendment is proposed to the LLC Unit Holders) and the TSG Representative to the extent such amendment would affect the rights of the TSG Representative. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(c) All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. Corporate Taxpayer shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Corporate Taxpayer, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Corporate Taxpayer would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place (except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement and provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Change in Control has occurred and an Early Termination Payment is required to be made then the Corporate Taxpayer’s payment obligations shall be determined taking into account the provisions of ARTICLE IV).

7.6. Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

7.7. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court or before any similar authority other than in the Delaware Chancery Court, and the parties hereto hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of such suit, proceeding or judgment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have had to bring such an action in any other court, domestic or foreign, or before any similar domestic or foreign authority. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding in relation to this Agreement and for any counterclaim herein.

7.8. Reconciliation. In the event that Corporate Taxpayer and the TSG Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by ARTICLE II or ARTICLE IV within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to such parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and (unless Corporate Taxpayer and the TSG Representative agree otherwise), the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with Corporate Taxpayer or the TSG Representative or its Affiliates or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the applicable parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of the end of the thirty (30) calendar-day period set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 4.2, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or, in each case, as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. If the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement), the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement, subject to adjustment upon resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.8 shall not restrict the ability of Corporate Taxpayer or its Affiliates to determine when or whether to file or amend any Tax Return. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne equally by Corporate Taxpayer and the LLC Units Holders (on a pro rata basis based on relative proportion of all Early Termination Payments under this Agreement, measured by present value of payments due under this Agreement, using the present value calculation and assumptions described under Section 4.3(b) above assuming for such purpose the Early Termination Date is the date the Reconciliation Dispute is resolved) (in the event the TSG Representative and/or its Affiliates are participating in the Reconciliation Dispute), as applicable, participating in the Reconciliation Dispute. Corporate Taxpayer may withhold payments under this Agreement to collect amounts due under the preceding sentence. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.8 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall be binding on Corporate Taxpayer and the TSG Representative and/or its Affiliates, as applicable, participating in the Reconciliation Dispute and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

7.9. Withholding. Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold or cause to be deducted and withheld from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement to a present or former LLC Unit Holder such amounts as Corporate Taxpayer determines in good faith it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such LLC Unit Holder.

7.10. Admission of Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

(a) If Corporate Taxpayer and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries are or become members of a combined, consolidated, affiliated or unitary group that files a consolidated, combined or unitary income tax return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the relevant group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Net Tax Benefit, Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit, Realized Tax Benefit, Realized Tax Detriment, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated (or combined or unitary, where applicable) taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and attributes of the relevant group as a whole.

(b) If any entity that is or may be obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder, or any entity any portion of the income of which is included in the income of the Corporate Taxpayer’s consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group, directly or indirectly transfers (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) one or more assets to a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. income tax purposes with which such entity does not file a consolidated income tax return pursuant to Section 1501 et seq. of the Code (or, for purposes of calculations relating to state or local taxes, a consolidated, combined or unitary income tax return under applicable state or local law), such entity, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and, if applicable, determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such asset in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such transfer. The consideration deemed to be received by such entity shall be equal to the fair market value of the transferred asset, increased by the amount of debt that would increase the transferor’s “amount realized” for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with such transfer, in the case of a contribution of an encumbered asset (including an interest in an entity classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership which has debt outstanding). For the avoidance of doubt, a transaction treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a liquidation into Corporate Taxpayer of one or more of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries or merger of one or more of such entities into one another or Corporate Taxpayer will not cause any such Persons to be treated as having disposed of any of its assets for purposes of this Section 7.10(b). In the event there occurs a transaction described in the preceding sentence, the Tax Benefit Payments and any other amounts due under this Agreement shall be calculated without regard to such transaction.

7.11. Confidentiality. Each LLC Unit Holder and each of its assignees acknowledge and agree that the information of Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters acquired pursuant to this Agreement of Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors, learned by the LLC Unit Holder heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.11 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of the LLC Unit Holder in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for the LLC Unit Holder to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other agreement, the LLC Unit Holders and each of their assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of the LLC Unit Holders or their assignees, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure and any related tax strategies of or relating to Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, the LLC Unit Holder or assignee, and any of their transactions or agreements, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the LLC Unit Holder or assignee relating to such tax treatment and tax structure and any related tax strategies.

If the LLC Unit Holder or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.11, Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.11 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Corporate Taxpayer or its Affiliates and the accounts and funds managed by Corporate Taxpayer and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

7.12. Change in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in law, an LLC Unit Holder reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this Agreement) recognized by such LLC Unit Holder (or direct or indirect equity holders in such LLC Unit Holder) upon the IPO, Recapitalization or any Exchange to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or could have other material adverse tax consequences to the LLC Unit Holder or any direct or indirect owner of the LLC Unit Holder, then at the election of the LLC Unit Holder and to the extent specified by the LLC Unit Holder, this Agreement shall cease to have further effect with respect to such LLC Unit Holder and shall for clarity not apply to an Exchange by such LLC Unit Holder occurring after a date specified by the LLC Unit Holder.

7.13. Independent Nature of LLC Unit Holders’ Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations of each LLC Unit Holder hereunder are independent of the rights and obligations of any other LLC Unit Holder hereunder. No LLC Unit Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other LLC Unit Holder hereunder, nor shall any LLC Unit Holder have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other LLC Unit Holder hereunder. The obligations of each LLC Unit Holder hereunder are solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable solely by, Corporate Taxpayer. The decision of each LLC Unit Holder to enter into this Agreement has been made by such LLC Unit Holder independently of any other LLC Unit Holder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing (other than the LLC Agreement and any joinder thereto), and no action taken by any LLC Unit Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the LLC Unit Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the LLC Unit Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby, and Corporate Taxpayer acknowledges that the LLC Unit Holders are not acting in concert or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.14. LLC Agreement/Exchange Agreement. This Agreement shall be treated as part of the LLC Agreement and Exchange Agreement as described in Section 761(c) of the Code and Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(h) and 1.761-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
