Upon receipt of the Closing Date Cash Payment, the Seller Representative shall pay the Closing Date Cash Payment to the Transferring Holders in accordance with Section 3.2(b) hereof.

(i) Satisfaction of Plan Amounts. (A) any Indebtedness of XXXX or its Subsidiaries existing on the Closing Date, (B) any Indebtedness of XXXX or its Subsidiaries (including MD Holdings and the Company and its Subsidiaries) entered into on or after the Closing Date and (C) from and after the Closing Date, any Indebtedness under the First Lien Facility, shall not prohibit the payment of any of the cash amounts that made be required to be paid to the Plan pursuant to the Plan Exchange regardless of whether XXXX or any of its Subsidiaries (including MD Holdings and the Company and

its Subsidiaries) are then in default. In the event such Indebtedness does prohibit the payment of such amounts, on the Closing Date, XXXX shall post a letter of credit in such amount for the benefit of the Plan.

(j) Exchange Procedures. MD Holdings shall promptly (and in any event no more than five (5) Business Days) following the date of this Agreement, mail to each holder of record of a Unit an Instruction Letter. Upon delivery of an Instruction Letter, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions or otherwise reasonably requested by the Seller Representative, following and contingent upon the Closing, the Seller Representative shall issue and deliver to such delivering holder a check or wire transfer for the amount of cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.2(b) in respect of the Units formerly held, and any such Units shall forthwith be cancelled. Until transferred as contemplated by this Section 3.2(j), each Unit shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Unit, without any interest thereon.

Section 3.3 Contingent Purchase Price. Platform Holdco shall, and XXXX shall cause Platform Holdco to, pay to the Retaining Holders Representative an amount up to One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00), in cash or, provided such shares are then listed on the New York Stock Exchange or equivalent public trading market, XXXX Ordinary Shares in the sole discretion of XXXX, when and as determined by this Section 3.3 (as so determined, the “Contingent Purchase Price”). The determination of the amount of the Contingent Purchase Price payable, if any, shall be contingent on the performance of the consolidated operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the seven (7) year period commencing on the Closing Date (“Contingent Purchase Price Term”). The amount of the Contingent Purchase Price shall be determined in accordance with Appendix II. To the extent any portion of the Contingent Purchase Price is paid in equity securities of XXXX and any equity securities of XXXX are then publicly traded, XXXX agrees to file a resale registration statement under the Securities Act registering the sale of such equity securities by the recipients thereof as promptly as practicable following issuance thereof and shall keep such registration statement effective until all securities registered thereunder have been sold or may be sold without the effectiveness of such registration statement (whichever is earlier); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, XXXX may suspend the effectiveness of such registration statement and the use of any prospectus (or prospectus supplement) included therein in the event, and for such period of time as (1) such a suspension is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC as applied to XXXX, (2) such prospectus supplement ceases to meet the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or (3) in the good faith determination by XXXX’x board of directors, offers and sales pursuant to such registration statement should not be made by reason of the existence of material undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in such registration statement would be premature and would have an adverse effect on XXXX. For purposes of calculating the value of each equity security of XXXX used to pay any portion of the Contingent Purchase Price, the value shall be equal to the XXXX Value Per Share as of the date of payment of the Contingent Purchase Price.

Within 60 days of the expiration of the Contingent Purchase Price Term, XXXX shall deliver to the Retaining Holders Representative a statement setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation

of the Contingent Purchase Price, if any (the “Contingent Purchase Price Statement”). The Retaining Holders Representative shall have 60 days to review and object to the Contingent Purchase Price Statement (“Contingent Purchase Price Review Period”). If the Retaining Holders Representative objects to the Contingent Purchase Price Statement, it shall deliver to XXXX a written statement setting forth the Retaining Holders Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (“Contingent Purchase Price Objection”). If the Retaining Holders Representative fails to deliver a Contingent Purchase Price Objection before the expiration of the Contingent Purchase Price Review Period, the Contingent Purchase Price reflected in the Contingent Purchase Price Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Retaining Holders Representative. If the Retaining Holders Representative delivers a Contingent Purchase Price Objection before the expiration of the Contingent Purchase Price Review Period, XXXX and the Retaining Holders Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Contingent Purchase Price Objection, and, if the same are so resolved within such 30 day period, the Contingent Purchase Price with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by XXXX and the Retaining Holders Representative, shall be final and binding. On the other hand, if XXXX and the Retaining Holders Representative are unable to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Contingent Purchase Price Objection within the 30 day period following the end of the Contingent Purchase Price Review Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“CPP Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted to the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants, who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the CPP Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Contingent Purchase Price, as the case may be, and the Contingent Purchase Price Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each CPP Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Contingent Purchase Price Statement and the Contingent Purchase Price Objection, respectively.

The Retaining Holders Representative shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of any disputed amounts submitted to the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of XXXX (that being the difference between the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants’ determination and the Retaining Holders Representative’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of disputed amounts submitted to the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants (that being the sum total by which XXXX’X determination and the Retaining Holders Representative’s determination differ from the determination of the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants). XXXX shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants that the Retaining Holders Representative is not required to pay hereunder.

Section 3.4 Contingent Litigation Proceeds.

(a) Payment. As an integral part of the consideration to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, promptly following the occurrence of a Contingent Litigation Proceeds Payment Event, if any, Platform Holdco shall, and

XXXX shall cause Platform Holdco to, pay to an escrow account any Contingent Litigation Proceeds to be held pending final resolution of all of the Contingent Litigation Proceedings. Such escrow account shall be held with an escrow agent and pursuant to an escrow agreement both of which shall be mutually acceptable to XXXX and the Seller Representative, which such agreement shall require the mutual consent of XXXX and the Seller Representative to release any amounts held in such escrow account. XXXX may, in its sole discretion, elect to cause a Contingent Litigation Proceeds Release Event at any time and from time to time following any Contingent Litigation Proceeds Payment Event at which time XXXX and the Seller Representative shall execute joint written instructions to the escrow agent to release the Contingent Litigation Proceeds as set forth in such instructions. Upon a Contingent Litigation Proceeds Release Event, the Contingent Litigation Proceeds (MD Portion) shall be released to the Seller Representative for distribution to each Contingent Litigation Proceeds Recipient in an amount equal to such recipient’s Contingent Litigation Proceeds Sharing Percentage in accordance with the Merger and the Retaining Holder Exchange and the remainder of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds shall be released to XXXX or XXXX’x designee.

(b) Use of Paying Agent. In the sole discretion of the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative may engage an independent third party agent for the purpose of receiving the aggregate Contingent Litigation Proceeds (MD Portion) and distributing the same to the Contingent Litigation Proceeds Recipients.

(c) No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest. Neither the Seller Representative, nor any Contingent Litigation Proceeds Recipient shall have any voting or dividend rights in XXXX, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries in connection with the right to receive any portion of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds. The Contingent Litigation Proceeds shall not accrue interest in any event. The right to receive any portion of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds shall not constitute any equity or ownership interest in XXXX, the Company or any Subsidiary, whether now existing or hereafter formed.

(d) Nontransferable. The right to receive any portion of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds (MD Portion) shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer.

(e) No Certificate. The right to receive any portion of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds shall not be evidenced by a certificate or any other instrument.

(f) Control of Proceedings. The Company shall have the sole right to control all aspects of the Contingent Litigation Proceedings, including entering into any settlement, or appealing the determination, of a Contingent Litigation Proceeding, ceasing to defend or pursue a Contingent Litigation Proceeding, pursuing injunctive, equitable or any other relief in a Contingent Litigation Proceeding or otherwise.

Section 3.5 Allocation of Total Holder Value. Attached as Appendix III is a schedule prepared by MD Holdings setting forth in detail a good faith estimate of the allocation of the

Total Holder Value for each MD Holdings Member on an individual basis. The parties hereto acknowledge that Appendix III cannot be finalized until the Final Adjustment Amount has been determined in accordance with this Agreement. Therefore, Appendix III attached hereto shall be deemed to be the good faith estimate of MD Holdings based upon the information available to it as of the date hereof. On the Closing Date, MD Holdings shall, following the calculation of all adjustments to be made on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement, deliver to XXXX a revised and updated Appendix III containing all necessary revisions to accurately reflect the allocation of the Total Holder Value for each MD Holdings Member on an individual basis (as determined on the Closing Date).

The “Closing Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount equal to (i) Estimated Closing Working Capital minus Target Working Capital, plus (ii) if positive, Estimated Closing Cash on Hand minus Target Cash minus (iii) if negative, the absolute value of Estimated Closing Cash on Hand minus Target Cash, minus (iv) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness. XXXX may object to MD Holdings’ Estimated Closing Statement and the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Closing Indebtedness and/or Estimated Closing Cash on Hand set forth therein, in which case MD Holdings and XXXX shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Closing Indebtedness and Estimated Closing Cash on Hand for purposes of determining the Closing Adjustment Amount. In the event that XXXX and MD Holdings are unable to resolve any such disputes through negotiation, the Estimated Closing Statement as prepared by the Company on behalf of MD Holdings shall be accepted for purposes of Closing, subject to Section 3.7(b).

On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller Representative may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to XXXX a written statement setting forth the Seller Representative’s objections in reasonable detail indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Seller Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”).

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. The Seller Representative shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of XXXX (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and the Seller Representative’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants (that being the sum total by which XXXX’X determination and the Seller Representative’s determination differ from the determination of the Independent Accountants).

The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Statement and/or the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(d) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Final Adjustment Amount shall be due (x) within five Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five Business Days of the resolution described in Section 3.7(c)(v) above, and paid as follows:

(i) If the Final Adjustment Amount is positive, (x) XXXX shall pay the Seller Representative an amount in cash calculated by multiplying the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment times the Final Adjustment Amount, (y) the Seller Representative shall release all funds in the Escrow Account, each of (x) and (y) for further distribution to the Transferring Holders, and (z) XXXX shall pay the Seller Representative an amount in cash equal to the Seller Representative Expenses to the extent not previously paid by the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account(s) specified by the Seller Representative in writing.

immediately available funds to the bank account(s) specified by XXXX in writing and (y) any and all remaining funds in the Escrow Account to the Transferring Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of the funds in the Escrow Account released to XXXX is less than the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment times the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount, XXXX agrees to provide notice to each Transferring Holder (i) that each such Transferring Holder has an obligation to contribute such holder’s Escrow Share Percentage Per Transferring Holder of such shortfall to XXXX and (ii) requesting prompt payment of such amount. To the extent any Transferring Holder pays more than its Escrow Share Percentage Per Transferring Holder of the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment of the Final Adjustment Amount, such Transferring Holder shall have a right of contribution from each Transferring Holder who has not paid such Transferring Holder’s Escrow Share Percentage Per Transferring Holder of the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment of the Final Adjustment Amount.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Retaining Holder’s right to receive their allocable portion of Platform Holdco common stock shall be effective upon the consummation of the Retaining Holder Exchange. “XXXX Exchange Ratio” shall mean, with respect to a Retaining Holder, the number determined by dividing such Retaining Holder’s Retaining Holder Equity Value Per Holder by $11.00.

Section 3.9 Withholding. XXXX shall be entitled to upon prompt (but in any event no later than three (3) business days prior to the time of such withholding) notice to Seller Representative deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable hereunder to any Person any Tax required by applicable Tax Law to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Parent shall timely pay such Tax to the applicable Governmental Entity and, as soon as reasonably practicable after such payment, deliver to Seller Representative the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Entity (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller Representative) evidencing such payment. To the extent any such Tax is so deducted and withheld and duly paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, the amount of such deducted and withheld Tax shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.10 Plan Exchange. Promptly after the date of this Agreement, but before the Closing, XXXX agrees to initiate the an exchange (the “Plan Exchange”) pursuant to which

Section 12.4 Entire Agreement; Severability.

(a) This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and documents and the instruments referred to herein), the Ancillary Agreements (and the documents and the instruments referred to therein) and the Confidentiality Agreements constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

(b) If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 12.5 Governing Law. Subject to Section 12.16, this Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, termination, performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware applicable to a contract entered into and fully performed solely within the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

Section 12.6 Publicity. Prior to the earlier of termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms and the Closing, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, neither XXXX, MD Holdings nor the Company shall, or shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to, or otherwise make any public statement concerning, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the Company, in the case of a proposed announcement or statement by XXXX, or XXXX, in the case of a proposed announcement or statement by the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except in the event that such release or announcement may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any Self-Regulatory Organization, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on each release or announcement in advance of such issuance and shall consider in good faith the views and comments made by such other party. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release the text of which has been agreed to by each of the Company and XXXX in advance.

Section 12.7 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.7, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 11.2, 12.2, 12.7, 12.9, 12.10, 12.11 and 12.16 are intended to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Financing Sources.

Section 12.8 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers; Consent to Service of Process. Subject to Section 12.16, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or permitted assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in any state court or Federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware and each of the parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in the event any dispute arises out or relates to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in any court other than any state court or Federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware. It is understood and agreed that any other court or arbiter in any other jurisdiction shall be entitled to enforce any Judgment of any state court or Federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware. Any writs, process or summonses to be served on any other party in such action or proceeding may be made by delivery of process in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 12.2 or as otherwise permitted by Law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) the defense of sovereign immunity, (ii) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 12.8, (iii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from 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 (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by Law that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 12.9 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties hereto 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 the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the party seeking the injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief has an adequate remedy at law. To the extent any party hereto brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than an action solely to specifically enforce any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2

hereof) when available to such party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, if the Termination Date would otherwise expire during the pendency of such action, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates have any rights or claims against any Financing Source or their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Proposed Amendment, the Debt Financing, or any other agreement related thereto or hereto.

Section 12.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 12.11 Amendment; Waiver.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 11.2, 12.2, 12.8, 12.9, 12.10, 12.11 and 12.16 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any of the foregoing provisions) may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that is adverse in any respect to a Financing Source or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of such Financing Source and its Affiliates.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and other than in the case of fraud (in which case, applicable only to the party committing such fraud), notwithstanding any rights of the Company at Law or in equity, in the event of any default or breach by XXXX under this Agreement, the remedies of the Company and MD Holdings shall be restricted to enforcement of its rights against any other property and assets of XXXX, and no Liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be, incurred by, any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of XXXX or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, for any obligations or Liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

If none of the Business EBITDA Benchmarks or the Share Price Targets are met or exceeded on or prior to the Determination Date, no Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable. Within 30 days following the receipt by the Company of its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, Platform Holdco shall deliver to the Retaining Holders Representative the Contingent Purchase Price Statement. No Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable until Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders Representative have agreed upon the Contingent Purchase Price amount pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Agreement, notwithstanding when the Business EBITDA Benchmarks and/or the Share Price Targets are met.

(b) Up to $60,000,000.00 of the Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable based on the Business EBITDA Benchmarks, with $30,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 50% EBITDA Benchmark and an additional $30,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 100% EBITDA Benchmark. The determination of whether either of the Business EBITDA Benchmarks have been reached shall be made on each EBITDA Measurement Date such that if any of the Business EBITDA Benchmarks are reached as of any EBITDA Measurement Date, such Business EBITDA Benchmark(s) shall be deemed reached on the Determination Date, and the portion of the Contingent Purchase Price payable with respect to such Business EBITDA Benchmark shall be deemed earned, subject to the determination, objection and resolution procedures set forth in Section 3.3 of the Agreement.

(c) Up to $40,000,000.00 of the Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable based on the Share Price Targets, with $10,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 25% Share Price Target, an additional $10,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 50% Share Price Target and an additional $20,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 100% Share Price Target. If any of the Share Price Targets are reached between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2020, such Share Price Target(s) shall be deemed reached on the Determination Date, and the portion of the Contingent Purchase Price payable with respect to such Share Price Target shall be deemed earned, subject to the determination, objection and resolution procedures set forth in Section 3.3 of the Agreement.

For purposes of the foregoing, interest expense shall be determined after giving effect to any net payments made or received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the Measurement Period with respect to interest rate swap contracts.

(j) “Consolidated Net Income” shall mean the net income of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the Measurement Period determined in accordance with GAAP before any adjustments for GAAP minority interests resulting from the consummation of the Agreement.

3. Adjustments.

(a) If, during the Measurement Period, XXXX or any of its Affiliates, including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, consummates (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise) either an acquisition of any other company or business or a disposition of any material portion of the Acquired Business, in each case, out of the ordinary course of business, (an “Acquired/Disposed Business”), Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders Representative shall negotiate in good faith to adjust the Business EBITDA Benchmarks to account for the relative impact on the determination of Consolidated EBITDA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders Representative are unable to mutually

[SIGNATURE PAGE TO BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER]

agree upon adjustments to the Business EBITDA Benchmarks within thirty (30) days following the consummation of such transactions, the results of operations of the Acquired/Disposed Business shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated EBITDA and the Business EBITDA Benchmarks shall not be adjusted.

(b) If, during the Measurement Period, the shares of XXXX’x common stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of XXXX’x common stock, or if a dividend is paid in shares of XXXX’x common stock, the Share Price Targets shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of XXXX’x common stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of XXXX’x common stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

4. Cooperation.
