ARTICLE II

DETERMINATION OF OVERALL REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

Section 2.01. Basis Adjustment; Pre-IPO NOLs. The Corporation, on the one hand, and the Participants, on the other hand, acknowledge that, as a result of:

(a) an Exchange and pursuant to applicable law, with respect to the Corporation, the basis in the Adjusted Assets shall be adjusted as determined under Sections 743 and 754 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (provided that the LLC remains classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes after giving effect to such Exchange);

(b) an actual or deemed liquidation of the LLC for U.S. federal income tax purposes or other transaction pursuant to which the tax basis of Adjusted Assets is determined in whole or in part pursuant to Section 732 of the Code (a “Section 732 Event”), the tax basis of such Adjusted Assets shall be adjusted to equal the distributee’s tax basis in the applicable interest in the LLC; and

(c) the Reorganization Transactions, the Corporation may utilize the Pre-IPO NOLs to reduce the amount of Taxes that the Corporation would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

Subject to Section 6.02, the Corporation, on the one hand, and the Participants, on the other hand, hereby agree to treat for all tax reporting purposes any payments made under this Agreement (i) to a Member in its capacity as such (and its assignees) as additional consideration for the applicable LLC Units exchanged by such Member, and (ii) to the other Participants and other than in their capacity as Members, as additional consideration described in Section 356(a)(1) of the Code pursuant to the merger of TPG Holdco and Holdco, as the case may be, with and into the Corporation, (except that, in either case to the extent required by law, payments to UPMC may be described in Section 356(a)(2) of the Code). The parties agree that (a) all payments to a Member in its capacity as such with respect to an Exchange pursuant to this Agreement (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 Member to Adjusted Assets for the Corporation or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable, in the year of payment, and (b) as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments in respect of such Member will be incorporated into the current year calculation and into future year calculations, as appropriate under applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Imputed Interest payments made under this Agreement shall be

treated as interest income and shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment or as additional consideration described in Section 356 of the Code, (ii) payments made under this Agreement to Participants that are not Members or that are not receiving payments in their capacity as Members (or in each case, their assignees) shall not be treated as resulting in a Basis Adjustment, (iii) in furtherance of clause (ii) of this sentence, the incremental amounts payable to ABCO (and its successors and assigns) pursuant to this Agreement as a result of ABCO having an “Exchange Sharing Percentage” with respect to the Basis Adjustment Attributes attributable to an Exchange by TPG Eagle or Ptolemy are payments to ABCO other than in its capacity as a Member and (iv) the incremental amounts payable to TPG Eagle and Ptolemy (and each of their successors and assigns), respectively, pursuant to this Agreement as a result of TPG Eagle and Ptolemy having an “NOL Sharing Percentage” with respect to Holdco are additional consideration described in Section 356(a)(1) of the Code pursuant to the merger of Holdco with and into the Corporation.

Section 2.02. Basis Adjustment Schedule. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the end of the Taxable Year in which a Section 732 Event or Exchange occurs, and in any event at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the filing of the U.S. Federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for each Taxable Year in which any such Section 732 Event or Exchange has been effected, the Corporation shall deliver to each Participant a schedule that shows, in reasonable detail, the information required under Sections 732, 743(b) and 755 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, to calculate the Basis Adjustment with respect to such Section 732 Event or Exchange, including without limitation, (i) the Corporation’s proportionate share of the actual unadjusted tax basis of the Adjusted Assets as of each applicable Exchange Date, (ii) the Basis Adjustment with respect to each class of the Adjusted Assets as a result of any Section 732 Event and each Exchanges effected in such Taxable Year, (iii) the period or periods, if any, over which the Adjusted Assets are amortizable and/or depreciable, and (iv) the period or periods, if any, over which each Basis Adjustment is amortizable and/or depreciable (the “Basis Adjustment Schedule”). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating Overall Realized Tax Benefit and Overall Realized Tax Detriment, Pre-IPO NOLs shall not be deemed to expire unless they actually expire unused for the purposes of computing the Corporation’s actual income tax liability.

Section 2.03. Tax Benefit Schedule. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the filing of the U.S. Federal income Tax Return of the Corporation for any Taxable Year in which there is an Overall Realized Tax Benefit or an Overall Realized Tax Detriment (or as soon as practicable thereafter), the Corporation shall provide to each Participant a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of (i) the Overall Realized Tax Benefit or Overall Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year, (ii) such Participant’s Sharing Percentage for such Taxable Year, (iii) such Participant’s Uncompensated Attributes for such Taxable Year (calculated by reference to the Attributes Allocable to such Participant), and (iv) such Participant’s Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”). Concurrently the Corporation shall also provide to each Participant all supporting information (including work papers and valuation reports) reasonably necessary to support the calculation of such payment. The Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.04(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.04(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a)).

Subject to Section 4.03(a), the Overall Realized Tax Benefit or Overall Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase, respectively, in the actual liability for Taxes of the Corporation and its subsidiaries (and the LLC and its subsidiaries, as applicable and without duplication (but, in each case, only with respect to Taxes imposed on the LLC and allocable to the Corporation or to members of the consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group of which the Corporation is a parent)) for such Taxable Year (or portion thereof) attributable to the Basis Adjustments, the Imputed Interest, and the Pre-IPO NOLs, determined using a “with and without” methodology and shall be construed accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, such actual liability for Taxes will take into account any deduction of Imputed Interest. Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to the Basis Adjustments, Imputed Interest, and the Pre-IPO NOLs 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.

Section 2.04. Procedures, Amendments.

(a) Procedure. Every time the Corporation delivers to each Participant an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.04(b), and including any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall also (x) deliver to each Participant schedules, valuation reports, if any, and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule and an Advisory Firm Report related to such Schedule and (y) allow each Participant reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives at each of the Corporation and the applicable Advisory Firm in connection with a review of such Schedule. The applicable Schedule (or amendment) shall become final and binding on a Participant thirty (30) calendar days after such Participant receives such Schedule (or amendment) unless such Participant (if a Founder Participant) during such period provides the Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith. If the parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in any Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by the Corporation of such Objection Notice, the Corporation and the applicable Participants shall employ the reconciliation procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

(b) Amended Schedule. The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended (and, at the request of a Founder Participant, shall be amended if such amendment would result in a material increase in the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to one or more of the Founder Participants) from time to time by the Corporation (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct material inaccuracies in the Schedule identified after the date the Schedule was provided to the Participants, (iii) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a material change (relative to the amounts in the original Schedule) in the Overall Realized Tax Benefit or Overall Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other tax item to such Taxable Year, (v) to reflect a material change (relative to the amounts in the original

Schedule) in the Overall Realized Tax Benefit or Overall Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year, or (vi) to adjust the Basis Adjustment Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”); provided, however, that such a change under clause (i) attributable to an audit of a Tax Return by an applicable Taxing Authority shall not be taken into account on an Amended Schedule unless and until there has been a Determination with respect to such change. The Corporation shall provide any Amended Schedule to each Participant within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence of an event referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) of the preceding sentence, and any such Amended Schedule shall be subject to approval procedures similar to those described in Section 2.04(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all calculations and determinations hereunder, including Basis Adjustments, the Schedules and the determination of the Overall Realized Tax Benefit and the Overall Realized Tax Detriment, shall be made in accordance with any elections, methodologies or positions taken on the relevant Tax Returns of the Corporation and its subsidiaries (and the LLC and its subsidiaries).

Section 2.05. Section 754 Election. The LLC (and each of its subsidiaries classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code for each Taxable Year during which an Exchange occurs and this Agreement remains in effect.

ARTICLE III

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

Section 3.01. Payments.

(a) Timing of Payments. Within ten (10) Business Days of a Tax Benefit Schedule delivered to each Participant becoming final in accordance with Section 2.04(a), the Corporation shall pay (or cause to be paid) to each Participant for such Taxable Year an aggregate amount equal to such Participant’s Tax Benefit Payment for such Taxable Year determined pursuant to Section 3.01(b). Each such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account of each Participant previously designated by each Participant to the Corporation or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and such Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of estimated tax payments, including, without limitation, federal income estimated tax payments.

(b) A Participant’s “Tax Benefit Payment” for a Taxable Year means an amount, not less than zero, equal to the sum of (A) 85% of the sum of: (i) the product of the Overall Realized Tax Benefit, if any, for such Taxable Year multiplied by such Participant’s Sharing Percentage for such Taxable Year plus (ii) the product of the amount of the excess of the Overall Realized Tax Benefit reflected on an Amended Schedule for a previous Taxable Year over the Overall Realized Tax Benefit (or Overall Realized Tax Detriment, expressed as a negative number) reflected on the Tax Benefit Schedule for such previous Taxable Year, multiplied by such Participant’s Sharing Percentage for such

previous Taxable Year, minus (iii) the product of the Overall Realized Tax Detriment, if any, for a previous Taxable Year (expressed as a positive number) multiplied by such Participant’s Sharing Percentage for such previous Taxable Year, minus (iv) the product of the excess of the Overall Realized Tax Benefit reflected on a Tax Benefit Schedule for a previous Taxable Year over the Overall Realized Tax Benefit (or Overall Realized Tax Detriment, expressed as a negative number) reflected on the Amended Schedule for such previous Taxable Year, multiplied by such Participant’s Sharing Percentage for such previous Taxable Year plus (B) 85% of the Interest Amount with respect to such Participant; provided, however, that to the extent that the amounts described in Section 3.01(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) were taken into account in determining any Tax Benefit Payment in a preceding Taxable Year, such amounts shall not be taken into account in determining a Tax Benefit Payment attributable to any other Taxable Year; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Participants shall not be required to return any portion of any previously made Tax Benefit Payment. The “Interest Amount” with respect to such Participant shall equal interest on the Participant’s respective shares of the Overall Realized Tax Benefits taken into account under clauses (A)(i) through (A)(iv) of the preceding sentence, calculated at the Agreed Rate from the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation Return with respect to Taxes for the Taxable Year for which the Overall Realized Tax Benefit is being measured until the Payment Date. A Participant’s Tax Benefit Payment with respect to a Taxable Year may not be made until all Participants have been paid their applicable Tax Benefit Payments with respect to prior Taxable Years. In the event that a Determination results in the disallowance of any Attributes, appropriate adjustments shall be made to future payments pursuant to this Agreement so as to put the Participants in the same position (or as close as reasonably possible thereto) as if such disallowed Attributes were not the subject of this Agreement. A simplified example of the calculation of a Participant’s Tax Benefit Payment has been included as Exhibit A to this Agreement upon the review and approval of such example by the Founder Participants.

Section 3.02. No Duplicative Payments. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in (i) duplicative payment of any amount (including interest) required under this Agreement or (ii) payment of any amount described in clause (A) of Section 3.01(b) with respect to a Taxable Year that, when combined with the amounts described in clause (A) of Section 3.01(b) with respect to prior Taxable Years to which this Agreement applies, is in excess of (or less than) 85% of the aggregate Overall Realized Tax Benefit with respect to all such Taxable Years, and it is also intended that the sum of the Sharing Percentages of the Participants under this Agreement shall always equal 100%. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner so that such intentions are realized.

Section 3.03. Continuity of Interest. It is intended that the mergers of TPG Holdco and Holdco with and into the Corporation constitute a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, and, to the extent a payment to a Participant pursuant to this Agreement (i) is intended to be treated as consideration described in Section 356 of the Code in respect of the merger of TPG Holdco or Holdco, as applicable, and (ii) as reasonably determined by the Corporation on the advice of counsel, would cause the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation received in such applicable merger to constitute less than 40% of the aggregate consideration received by such

Participant in respect of such merger (a “COI Event”), then such Participant’s Sharing Percentage with respect to the payment or portion thereof so treated for each applicable Taxable Year shall be reduced proportionately (and each other Participant’s Sharing Percentage shall automatically be increased proportionately by an aggregate amount equal to such reduction) to the minimum extent necessary to avoid such COI Event (as reasonably determined by the Corporation on the advice of counsel), and the parties will reasonably cooperate in implementing the provisions of this Agreement to give effect to such adjustment.

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION

Section 4.01. Early Termination and Breach of Agreement.

(a) The Corporation may terminate this Agreement with respect to the payment of amounts contemplated hereunder by paying to each Participant its Early Termination Payment as determined pursuant to Section 4.03(b) . Upon payment of the Early Termination Payments by the Corporation, neither the Participants nor the Corporation shall have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than any (i) Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and the Participants as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice or (ii) Tax Benefit Payment due for a Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice (except to the extent that the amount described in this clause (ii) is included in the Early Termination Payment). If an Exchange or Section 732 Event occurs after the Corporation exercises its termination rights under this Section 4.01(a), the Corporation shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Exchange or Section 732 Event.

(a) (b) Change of Control; Breach of Material Obligations. In the event of a Change of Control or if the Corporation breaches a material obligation of this Agreement, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such obligations shall be calculated pursuant to this Article IV as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the closing date of the Change of Control (or date of the breach) and shall include, but not be limited to, (1) the Early Termination Payment calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the effective date of a Change of Control (or date of the breach), (2) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporation and the Participants as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice and (3) any Tax Benefit Payment due for any Taxable Year ending prior to, with or including the effective date of a Change of Control (or date of the breach). In the event of a Change of Control, the Early Termination Payment shall be paid no later than the date of such Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control or if the Corporation breaches a material obligation under this Agreement, the Early Termination Payment shall be calculated utilizing the Valuation Assumptions and, in the event of a Change of Control, by substituting in each case the terms “the closing date of a Change of Control” for an “Early Termination Date”. The parties agree that an unpaid aggregate outstanding balance of payments pursuant to this Agreement that exceeds $1,000,000 for at least six (6) months shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement

upon the Corporation’s receipt of written notice from a Participant regarding such outstanding balance, unless (x) such payment is made by the Corporation within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of such notice to the Corporation or (y) the Corporation reasonably determines (after taking into account the establishment of reasonable reserves) it does not have sufficient cash to pay such outstanding balance at the time of receipt of such notice, in which case the Corporation may, absent the occurrence of a Change of Control or any other breach by the Corporation of a material obligation of this Agreement, defer payment of such outstanding balance (subject to the interest provisions of Article V) until the earlier of (i) the Corporation having sufficient cash to pay such balance and (ii) the one-year anniversary of the receipt of the notice for such payment. The parties further agree that it will not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for such unpaid aggregate outstanding balance to exceed $1,000,000 for fewer than six (6) months; provided that the interest provisions of Article V shall apply to any late payment. Further, the Founder Participants may by unanimous written agreement cause, in the event the Corporation breaches a material obligation of this Agreement, the obligations hereunder to not accelerate as a result of such breach.

Section 4.02. Early Termination Notice. If the Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.01 above, the Corporation shall deliver to each Participant notice of such intention to exercise such right (“Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) specifying the Corporation’s intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the information required pursuant to Section 2.02 and the calculation of the Early Termination Payment. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties unless a Participant, within thirty (30) calendar 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 parties, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of the Material Objection Notice, the Corporation and the Participants shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.09 of this Agreement.

Section 4.03. Payment upon Early Termination. (a) Within five (5) Business Days after agreement between the Participants and the Corporation of the Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall pay to each Participant its Early Termination Payment; provided that, in the event of an Early Termination Payment in connection with a Change of Control, such Early Termination Payment shall be payable no later than the date of such Change of Control. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Participants or as otherwise agreed by the Corporation and the Participants.

(b) A Participant’s “Early Termination Payment” as of the date of the delivery of an Early Termination Schedule shall equal the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of such date, of such Participant’s Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporation for each Taxable Year beginning from the Early Termination Date assuming the Valuation Assumptions are applied. For purposes of calculating the present value pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) of all Tax Benefits Payments

that would be required to be paid, it shall be assumed that absent the Early Termination Notice all Tax Benefit Payments would be paid on the due date (without extensions) for filing the Corporation Return with respect to Taxes for each Taxable Year. The computation of the Early Termination Payment is subject to the Reconciliation Procedures as described in Section 7.09(b) of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

LATE PAYMENTS

Section 5.01. Late Payments by the Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any ITR Payment not made to the Participants when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such ITR Payment was due and payable.

ARTICLE VI

NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION

Section 6.01. Participation in the Corporation and LLC Tax Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all Tax matters concerning the Corporation and the LLC, including, without limitation, the preparation, filing or amending of any Tax Return and defending, contesting or settling any issue pertaining to Taxes, subject to a requirement that the Corporation act in good faith in connection with its control of any matter which is reasonably expected to materially affect the Participants’ rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall notify each Participant of, and keep each Participant reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit of the Corporation and the LLC by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect such Member’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and shall give each Participant reasonable opportunity to provide information and participate in the applicable portion of such audit; provided, however, that the Corporation and the LLC shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the LLC Agreement.

Section 6.02. Consistency. Except upon the written advice of an Advisory Firm, the Corporation and the Participants agree to report and cause to be reported for all purposes, including federal, state, local and foreign 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 in this Agreement and by the Corporation in any Schedule required to be provided by or on behalf of the Corporation under this Agreement. Any dispute concerning such advice shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.09. In the event that an Advisory Firm engaged by the Corporation is replaced with another firm reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and the Participants, such replacement Advisory Firm shall be required to perform its services under this Agreement using procedures and methodologies consistent with those utilized by the previous Advisory Firm, unless otherwise required by law or the Corporation and the Participants agree to the use of other procedures and methodologies.

Section 6.03. Cooperation. Each of the Corporation and the Participants shall (a) furnish to the other parties in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the other party may reasonably request for purposes of making or approving 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 other parties and their representatives to provide explanations of documents and materials and such other information as the requesting party 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 the requesting party shall reimburse the other parties for any reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Section.

Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or similar electronic format) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 7.03. 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. Other than as provided in the preceding sentence, 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.

Section 7.04. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Section 7.05. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless 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. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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.

Section 7.06. Successors; Assignment; Amendments; Waivers. (a) Each Participant may assign any of its rights pursuant to this Agreement to any person , as long as such transferee has executed and delivered, or, in connection with such transfer, executes and delivers, a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, agreeing to become a “Participant” (and, in the case of a transfer by a Participant that is a Member, a “Member”) for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder.

(b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by the Corporation, on behalf of itself and the LLC, and by each of the Founder Participants, and, in the case of any amendment that materially and disproportionately affects the rights and obligations of the Customers hereunder, by each of the Customers. 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, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

Section 7.07. 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.

Section 7.08. Resolution of Disputes.

(a) Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably after good faith negotiations, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York, New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 7.08, the Corporation or any Founder Participant may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling another party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each Participant (i) expressly consent to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.08 to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agree that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoint the Corporation as each Participant’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such Member of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Participant in any such action or proceeding.

(c) (i) EACH PARTICIPANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 7.08, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR

CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the forum designated by this paragraph (c) has a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another.

(ii) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in paragraph (c) (i) of this Section 7.08 and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

Section 7.09. Reconciliation.

(a) In the event that the Corporation and the Participants are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.04, 4.02 and 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm (other than the Advisory Firm engaged by the Corporation), and the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporation or any of the Participants or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Basis Adjustment Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement is due or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, such payment shall be made on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporation; except as provided in the next sentence. Each of the Corporation and the Participants shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding unless (i) the Expert adopts the Participant’s position, in which case the Corporation shall reimburse out-of-pocket costs and expenses with respect to such Proceeding or (ii) the Expert adopts the Corporation’s position, in which case the Participant shall reimburse the Corporation for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses with respect to such Proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.09 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall be binding on the Corporation and the Participants and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 7.10. Withholding. The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts 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 foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and 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 Participants. The Corporation shall provide evidence of such payment to the Participants, to the extent that such evidence is available.

Section 7.11. Affiliated Corporations; Admission of the Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets; Classification of LLC for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes.

(a) 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 foreign law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) ITR Payments shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.

(b) If any Person the income of which is included in the income of the Corporation’s affiliated, combined, unitary or consolidated group transfers (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) one or more assets to a corporation with which such entity does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 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), for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the Corporation’s affiliated or consolidated group and determining the Overall Realized Tax Benefit) due hereunder, such Person 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, plus (i) the amount of debt to which such asset is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to such asset, in the case of a transfer of a partnership interest.

(c) The LLC shall at all times be classified for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a partnership or a disregarded entity unless it receives the consent of the Founder Participants.

Section 7.12. Confidentiality. (a) Each Participant and each of their assignees acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Corporation is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporation and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement, shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not to disclose to any Person all

confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Corporation or the Participants. This clause 7.12 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of the Participants 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 Participants 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.

(b) If any Participant or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Corporation shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and the accounts and funds managed by the Corporation and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons.

Section 7.13. Change in Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in law, a Participant 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 Participant (or direct or indirect equity holders in such Participant) 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 Participant or any direct or indirect owner of the Participant, then at the election of the Participant and to the extent specified by the Participant, this Agreement shall cease to have further effect with respect to such Participant and shall for clarity not apply to an Exchange by such Participant (insofar as such Participant is a “Member”) occurring after a date specified by the Participant, or may be amended in a manner reasonably determined by such Participant, provided that such amendment or termination (in whole or in part) shall not result in an increase in any payments owed by the corporation under this Agreement at any time as compared to the amounts and times of payments that would have been due in the absence of such amendment.
