(a)Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative, ▇▇▇▇▇’s good faith calculation of the Closing Cash Merger Consideration and each of the components thereof (collectively, the “Buyer Closing Statement”).

(b)After receipt of the Buyer Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall have until 11:59PM Eastern Time on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of the Buyer Closing Statement (the “Review Period”) to review the Buyer Closing Statement. During such period, the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives shall have reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to all relevant books and records of the Company to the extent reasonably required to complete their review of the Buyer Closing Statement. The Sellers’ Representative shall deliver written notice to Buyer on or prior to the end of the Review Period specifying in reasonable detail the amount, nature and basis of all disputed items and the Sellers’ Representative proposed adjustment amounts (the “Dispute Notice”). To the extent not set forth in the Dispute Notice, the Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with Buyer’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Buyer Closing Statement and in Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment, Closing Cash Amount, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses, the Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes and Closing Cash Merger Consideration and such amounts shall be final and binding for purposes of this Section 2.11. In the event the Sellers’ Representative does not provide a Dispute Notice prior to the end of the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Buyer Closing Statement and Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment, Closing Cash Amount, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses, the Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes and Closing Cash Merger Consideration and such amounts shall be final, binding, nonappealable and conclusive for all purposes of this Section 2.11. If the Sellers’ Representative submits a Dispute Notice prior to the end of the Review Period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall, within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Parties may agree in writing) following such notice (the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(c)If, at the conclusion of the Resolution Period, there are any amounts set forth in the Dispute Notice remaining in dispute, then such amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Neutral Auditors”). Upon the request of ▇▇▇▇▇ or the Sellers’ Representative, ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate in good faith to appoint a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative to act as the Neutral Auditor, in which event the “Neutral Auditor” shall mean such firm. Each of ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Sellers’ Representative agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditors, a customary and reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities. The Neutral Auditors shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the provisions of Section 2.11 and the presentations by the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer, and not by independent review, only those issues still in dispute. The Neutral Auditors’ determination shall be made within thirty (30) days of their selection, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer and shall be deemed a final, binding and conclusive arbitration award for purposes of this Section 2.11. The Buyer, Sellers’ Representative, and the Neutral Auditor shall not engage in ex parte communications. The determinations of the Neutral Auditors shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto for purposes of this Section 2.11, absent fraud, bad faith or manifest error; provided, however, that no such determination with respect to any Dispute Notice shall be any more favorable to Buyer than is set forth in the Buyer Closing Statement or any more favorable to Sellers’ Representative than is proposed in the Dispute Notice. The terms “Final Closing Cash Merger Consideration” shall mean the definitive final Closing Cash Merger Consideration, as agreed to (or deemed to be agreed to) by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with Section 2.11(b) hereof or resulting from the determinations made by the Neutral Auditors in accordance with this Section 2.11(c) (in addition to those items theretofore agreed to by the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer pursuant to Section 2.11(b)). The

costs and expenses of the Neutral Auditors shall be allocated between the Company Unitholders, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested aggregate amount not awarded to the Company Unitholders or Buyer bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer, respectively and the Sellers’ Representative shall pay the portion allocated to the Company Unitholders. For example, if the Sellers’ Representative claims that the appropriate adjustments in the aggregate are $1,000 more than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Neutral Auditors ultimately resolve the dispute by awarding to the Company Unitholders $800 of the $1,000 contested amount, then the costs and expenses of the Neutral Auditors will be allocated 20% (i.e., 200 ÷ 1,000) to the Company Unitholders, jointly and severally, and 80% (i.e., 800 ÷ 1,000) to Buyer.

(d)Within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Cash Merger Consideration has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.11:

(i)If the Final Closing Cash Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Surplus”), then (x) within five (5) Business Days of the later of such determination and the delivery to Buyer of the True-Up Payment Spreadsheet, Buyer shall pay, as an adjustment to the Closing Cash Merger Consideration, an aggregate amount of cash equal to the Surplus to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Unitholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Allocation Portions as set forth in the True-Up Payment Spreadsheet, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions set forth in the True-Up Payment Spreadsheet) and (y) Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Paying Agent (for further distribution of such amount, minus the amount of any Transaction Payroll Taxes with respect to the payments contemplated in this Section 2.11(d)(i) (the “Surplus and Adjustment Escrow Transaction Payroll Taxes”), to the Company Unitholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Allocation Portions as set forth in the True-Up Payment Spreadsheet, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions set forth in the True-Up Payment Spreadsheet); provided, however, the Paying Agent (i) shall pay the Surplus and Adjustment Escrow Transaction Payroll Taxes to the Company (or an Affiliate designated by Buyer) and (ii) shall pay any portion of the Surplus or Adjustment Escrow Fund payable with respect to Company Incentive Membership Units that is subject to withholding as wages or compensation to the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company designated by Buyer) for further payment to the payee through the Company’s (or such Affiliate’s) payroll system and net of any applicable withholding Taxes payable with respect thereto; and

(ii)if the Estimated Closing Cash Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Closing Cash Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Deficit”), then Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release (x) the amount of the Deficit from the Adjustment Escrow Fund to Buyer and (y) if the Deficit is less than the amounts then held in the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the remaining amount of the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Paying Agent (for further distribution of such amount, minus the amount of any Transaction Payroll Taxes with respect to the payments contemplated in this Section 2.11(d)(ii) (the “Adjustment Escrow Transaction Payroll Taxes”), to the Company Unitholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Allocation Portions as set forth in the True-Up Payment Spreadsheet, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions set forth in the True-Up Payment Spreadsheet); provided, however, the Paying Agent (i) shall pay the Adjustment Escrow Transaction Payroll Taxes to the Company (or an Affiliate designated by Buyer) and (ii) shall pay any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund payable with respect to Company Incentive Membership Units that is subject to withholding as wages or compensation to the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company designated by Buyer) for further payment to the payee through the Company’s (or such Affiliate’s) payroll system and net of any applicable withholding Taxes payable with respect thereto. Should the amounts then-held in the Adjustment Escrow Fund, if any, be insufficient to satisfy the full amount of the Deficit, then Buyer shall be entitled, at Buyer’s election, to recover such unsatisfied amount (the “Remaining Deficit”) from either (or a combination of) (i) the Indemnity Escrow Fund, in which case, Buyer and Representative shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the final determination thereof) deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release such amount to Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Fund and (ii) to recover the amount of the Remaining Deficit that has not

been satisfied by from the Indemnity Escrow Fund directly from the Company Unitholders, in which case, the Company Unitholders, jointly and severally, shall pay to Buyer, within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Remaining Deficit not satisfied from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, an amount of cash equal to the amount of the Deficit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account designated in writing by Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative.

(iii)If any payments are to be made to the Company Unitholders pursuant to this Section 2.11(d), promptly following the determination of the Final Closing Cash Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer an updated Consideration Spreadsheet in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer reflecting the allocation of the of such payments among the Company Unitholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Allocation Portions (the “True-Up Payments Spreadsheet”).

The Company shall timely pay the Taxes reflected as due on any such Return to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

(b)The Sellers’ Representative shall cause to be timely prepared, and the Company shall file, all Returns with respect to the Company that relate to Income Taxes and that reflect items of income, deductions, credits, gains or losses passed through to the Company Unitholders, for all Tax reporting periods ending on or before the Closing Date with a due date (taking into account permitted and routine extensions) after the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Income Tax Return”). In connection with any such Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns, Buyer and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the Sellers’ Representative’s utilization of the Company’s existing tax return preparation firm(s) (the “Accounting Firm”), including (i) providing reasonable access to the Company’s books and records and accounting staff and (ii) taking such reasonable steps as may be necessary to cause the Accounting Firm to take reasonable direction from the Sellers’ Representative. Each Pre-Closing Income Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company in preparing comparable Returns, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or this Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative shall provide a copy of each such draft Return to the Buyer and shall permit the Buyer to review and comment on each such Return for a forty-five (45) day period prior to filing and shall consider in good faith such revisions to such Returns as are reasonably requested by the Buyer. The Sellers’ Representative shall deliver such revised and final Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns to Buyer no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Return. The Company Unitholders shall timely pay the Income Taxes reflected as due on any such Return to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

Buyer shall provide a copy of each such Return to the Sellers’ Representative and shall permit the Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on each such Return for a thirty (30) day period (for any such Return with respect to Income Taxes) or a twenty (20) day period (for any such Return not with respect to Income Taxes) prior to filing and shall consider in good faith such revisions to such Returns as are reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative. The Company Unitholders, jointly and severally,

shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Taxes reflected as due on any such Return that are attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (but only to the extent of such amount not taken into account as a reduction to the final determination of the Closing Cash Merger Consideration) no later than five (5) Business Days before the due date of such Return.

(d)With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Company shall make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code if such election is available as of the date hereof (or any date thereafter). This Section 7.1(d) shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law.

Section 7.2Straddle Periods.

Buyer, the Company Unitholders and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect with the relevant Taxing Authority to treat for all applicable Tax purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a Taxable period of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 7.3Controversies.

The Sellers’ Representative, at least 10 days prior to the expiration of any deadline to appeal, shall promptly notify Buyer upon receipt by the Sellers’ Representative or any Company Unitholder of written notice of any Tax Matter with respect the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and Buyer shall, at least 10 days prior to the expiration of any deadline to appeal, notify the Sellers’ Representative upon receipt by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of written notice of any Tax Matter in each case with respect to Income Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Company Unitholders, at their sole cost and expense, shall have the authority to represent the interests of the Company with respect to any Tax Matter provided that (i) such Tax Matter relates solely to Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns, (ii) neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates is reasonably expected to have any liability with respect to such Tax Matter (determined without regard to any Buyer R&W Insurance Policy or other indemnification) and (iii) the Company Unitholders provide written notice to Buyer within twenty (20) days of becoming aware of such Tax Matter of its election to represent the interests of the Company with respect to such Tax Matter (any such Tax Matter, a “Unitholder’s Tax Matter”) before any Taxing Authority and shall have, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.3, the sole right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of a Unitholder’s Tax Matter. The Sellers’ Representative shall keep Buyer informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of the Unitholder’s Tax Matter and shall provide Buyer with copies of all correspondence (including any correspondence sent or received in electronic format) relating to the Unitholder’s Tax Matter no later than five (5) Business Days following the sending or receipt thereof. The Sellers’ Representative shall, in good faith, allow ▇▇▇▇▇ to make comments to the Sellers’ Representative regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any Unitholder’s Tax Matter, and Buyer shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of any Unitholder’s Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any Tax Matter with any Taxing Authority, and shall not elect to appeal, or seek judicial review of, any determination made with respect to a Unitholder’s Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.

(a)Buyer shall have the sole right to control any Tax Matter other than a Unitholder’s Tax Matter. In the case of any Tax Matter that would have been a Unitholder’s Tax Matter but for the fact that the Company Unitholders failed to provide Buyer written notice of their election to represent the interests of the Company with respect to such Tax Matter in accordance with 0, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, (i) keep the Sellers’ Representative reasonably informed with respect to such Tax Matter, (ii) in good faith, allow the Sellers’ Representative to make comments to Buyer regarding the conduct of or positions taken in such Tax Matter, (iii) allow the Sellers’ Representative to participate at its own expense in such Tax Matter, and (iv) not enter into any settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not unreasonably be conditioned, delayed, or withheld.

(b)The Company shall elect (or cause to be elected) the application of Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to any “imputed underpayment” or other “partnership adjustment” relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. This Section 7.3(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Law.

(c)This Section 7.3, and not, to the extent inconsistent with this Section 7.3, Section 9.5, shall apply to Tax Matters.

Section 7.4Refunds. Any Income Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or its Affiliates (“Tax Refund”) that relate to Income Taxes paid by any Company Unitholder or the Company prior to the Closing with respect to the Company’s income or gain passed through to the Company Unitholders for Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, as such refunds or credits are provided in Schedule 7.4, shall be for the account of the Company Unitholders, but only to the extent such Tax Refund (i) was not included in the computation of the Final Closing Cash Merger Consideration and (ii) did not arise as the result of a carryback of a net operating losses, capital losses or other Tax attributes from a taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date, and Buyer shall pay over to the Company Unitholders any such Tax Refund (net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expense and any Income Taxes of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Company) attributable to such Tax Refund) within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. If the amount of any such Tax Refund is subsequently determined by any Governmental Authority to be less than the amount paid by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.4, the Company Unitholders shall, jointly and severally, promptly pay to the Buyer the amount of any such disallowed Tax Refund (including any interest and penalties in respect of such disallowed amount).

Section 7.5Amended Returns and Retroactive Elections. Unless otherwise required by Law or this Agreement, Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company to, (i) amend any Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such Return, in each such case without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.

Section 7.6Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing or allocation agreements of the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date (other than any commercial agreements (i) entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business and (ii) the primary purpose of which does not relate to Taxes). After such time, the Company shall not have any further rights or Liabilities thereunder.

Section 7.7Transfer Taxes.

The Party required by Law to file Returns and other documents with respect to Transfer Taxes shall timely file any such Return and other document (and pay the Transfer Taxes required to be paid in connection with

such filings), and the other Parties (other than the Sellers’ Representative) shall cooperate with respect thereto (including the payment of such Party’s share of the Transfer Taxes).

Section 7.8Section 754 Election; Interim Closing Method.

(a)The Company shall have an election under Section 754 of the Code (and any similar or analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) in effect for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and any subsequent taxable year, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Buyer. Each Company Unitholder will, upon request, supply any information necessary to give proper effect to any such election.

(b)The Company shall apply the “interim closing method” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4 for purposes of determining Buyer’s and the Company Unitholders distributive share of taxable income for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This Section 7.8(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to any applicable state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Law.

(b)The Buyer shall deliver a proposed allocation of the Final Closing Cash Merger Consideration (together with any other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes), consistent with Schedule 7.9(b) among the assets treated as acquired by the Buyer for U.S. federal income Tax purposes to the Sellers’ Representative not later than one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date (“Buyer’s Allocation”). If the Sellers’ Representative disagrees with Buyer’s Allocation, the Sellers’ Representative may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Buyer’s Allocation, deliver a notice (the “Unitholder’s Allocation Notice”) to Buyer to such effect, specifying those items as to which the Sellers’ Representative disagrees and setting forth the Sellers’ Representative’s proposed allocation, which shall be consistent with Schedule 7.9(b). Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall, during the twenty (20) days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the allocation of the Final Closing Cash Merger Consideration (and other relevant amounts). If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to reach such agreement following timely delivery of Unitholder’s Allocation Notice, the dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Auditors consistent with Section 2.11, and the Neutral Auditors shall determine the final allocation of all disputed amounts in a manner that is consistent with Schedule 7.9(b) (and the costs of the Neutral Auditors shall be allocated between Buyer and the Company Unitholders in accordance with the principles of Section 2.11(c)). To the extent that the Sellers’ Representative fails to timely deliver a Unitholder’s Allocation Notice or Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative have resolved all disagreements with respect to Buyer’s Allocation following a timely delivery of a Unitholder’s Allocation Notice, none of Buyer or any Company Unitholder shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) take any position inconsistent with Buyer’s Allocation or such other agreed allocation, respectively, on any Return or in any Tax audit or proceeding, in each case, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law).

(a)Claim Notice. If a Buyer Indemnified Party wishes to assert a claim under this Article IX (each, a “Claim”), ▇▇▇▇▇ shall deliver written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the Sellers’ Representative. The Claim Notice shall set forth: (a) that a Buyer Indemnified Party has directly or indirectly incurred, suffered or sustained or reasonably believes it may incur, suffer or sustain, Losses; (b) the actual or estimated amount of such Losses to the extent known or reasonably estimable and (c) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to such Buyer Indemnified Party), of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Losses based on such Buyer Indemnified Party’s belief thereof. Subject to the applicable limitations in Section 9.1, a Claim Notice may be updated and amended from time to time by Buyer by delivering an updated or amended Claim Notice to the Sellers’ Representative. All Claims properly set forth in an original Claim Notice or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such Claims for Losses have been finally resolved or satisfied.

(b)Resolution of Claim Notice.

(i)Uncontested Claims. If, within thirty (30) days after a Claim Notice is delivered to the Sellers’ Representative (such 30-day period, the “Objection Period”), the Sellers’ Representative either consents in writing to the Claim Notice, or does not contest all or any portion of such Claim Notice in writing to Buyer, then the Sellers’ Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed, on behalf of all Seller Indemnifying Parties, to the recovery by each applicable Buyer Indemnified Party of the full amount of Losses (or, if a portion of the Claim Notice is contested, the uncontested portion thereof) (subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX) arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the matters specified in the Claim Notice, including the delivery to Buyer of all or a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund (or, with respect to a claim pursuant to Section 9.2(h), the Schedule 9.2(h) Escrow Fund) to satisfy such Losses and, subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX, the recovery from the Seller Indemnifying Parties of any amounts in excess of the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(ii)Contested Claims. If, during the Objection Period, the Sellers’ Representative delivers to Buyer written notice contesting all or any portion of a Claim Notice (the contested portion, a “Contested Claim”), then such Contested Claim shall be resolved by either (i) a written settlement agreement executed by ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Sellers’ Representative or (ii) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement being entered into within 30 days following receipt by Buyer of the written notice of a Contested Claim (or such longer period as agreed in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Sellers’ Representative), in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 9.4(b)(iii).

(iii)Resolution of Contested Claims. If ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Sellers’ Representative do not enter into a written settlement agreement resolving a Contested Claim during the period contemplated by Section 9.4(b)(ii), either Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative may bring suit in accordance with Section 10.2 to resolve the Contested Claim. Final judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to

the extent ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Sellers’ Representative mutually agree in their respective sole discretion, ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Sellers’ Representative may submit a Contested Claim to alternative dispute resolution prior to, or in lieu of, pursuing the claim in court.

(c)Payment of Claims. If any amounts are determined, agreed or deemed agreed, in each case, to be owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party, including pursuant to this Section 9.4 (each such amount, an “Owed Amount”), then, any Losses with respect thereto shall be satisfied as follows: (i) first so long as there are amounts remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund with a value equal to the Owed Amount (and, if applicable, with respect to any Owed Amount pursuant to Section 9.2(h), Buyer shall be entitled to receive a portion of the Section 9.2(h) Escrow Fund with a value equal to the Owed Amount), in which case, the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (or the Section 9.2(h) Escrow Fund with respect to Owed Amounts pursuant to Section 9.2(h)), the Owed Amount (or, if such amount exceeds the amounts then remaining in such Escrow Funds, the entire remaining in such Escrow Fund, as applicable), (ii) second, by recovery from the Buyer R&W Insurance Policy, to the extent recovery is available with respect to such Owed Amount and (iii) third, subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX, directly against the Seller Indemnifying Parties and each Seller Indemnifying Party shall, within twenty (20) Business Days following the date such Owed Amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed, pay in cash such Seller Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Indemnity Portion of such remaining Owed Amount to Buyer or such Buyer Indemnified Party designated by Buyer. The Sellers’ Representative shall, subject to its prior receipt of a Notice Schedule, promptly notify each Seller Indemnifying Party of any obligation with respect to any such amounts owed under this Section 9.4(c), provided, that the Sellers’ Representative’s obligation to notify each Seller Indemnifying Party of any obligation to pay amounts owed pursuant to this Section 9.4(c) shall be satisfied upon transmission of such email notice to the email addresses included in the Notice Schedule. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees it shall promptly provide the Sellers’ Representative any denial of coverage letter or notice under from the R&W Insurer denying coverage for any claim against the Buyer R&W Insurance Policy to the extent Buyer has or is making a Claim with respect to such matter.

Section 9.5Defense and Settlement of Third-Party Claims. If Buyer becomes aware of a legal proceeding by a third party that is not an Affiliate of any of the Parties or the Seller Indemnifying Parties (a “Third-Party Claim”) that Buyer in good faith believes may result in a Claim by or on behalf of a Buyer Indemnified Party, Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to control and, subject to the below terms of this Section 9.5, settle, such Third-Party Claim. Buyer shall notify the Sellers’ Representative of any such Third-Party Claim, and the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled, on behalf of the Seller Indemnifying Parties, at their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of, such Third-Party Claim. The Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and court filings with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party and subject to execution by the Sellers’ Representative of ▇▇▇▇▇’s standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or proprietary information. Except with the consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Sellers’ Representative shall have objected within ten (10) Business Days after a written request for such consent by Buyer), the amount paid or payable in the settlement or other resolution of any such Third-Party Claim shall not be determinative of the existence of or amount of Losses or whether a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX relating to such matter. In the event that the Sellers’ Representative has consented in writing to any such settlement or other resolution, then such settlement or other resolution shall be binding on the Sellers’ Representative and the Seller Indemnifying Parties, and neither the Sellers’ Representative nor any Seller Indemnifying Party shall have any power or authority to object to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Buyer Indemnified Party against the Indemnity

Escrow Fund, the Schedule 9.2(h) Escrow Fund or directly against the Seller Indemnifying Parties for indemnity with respect to such settlement or other resolution.

Section 9.6Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.7Escrow Distributions.

(a)Indemnity Escrow Fund. Promptly following the General Expiration Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer an updated Consideration Spreadsheet in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer reflecting the allocation of the Excess Indemnity Escrow Amount (as defined below) among the Company Unitholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Allocation Portions (the “Indemnity Escrow Payment Spreadsheet”). Within five (5) Business Days following the later of the General Expiration Date and the delivery of the Indemnity Escrow Payment Spreadsheet to Buyer, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to release to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Unitholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Allocation Portions) an amount of cash (the “Excess Indemnity Escrow Amount”) equal to the amount (if any) by which (a) the then remaining Indemnity Escrow Fund exceeds (b) the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy any unresolve or unsatisfied Claims that were asserted on or before the General Expiration Date (each an “Unresolved Indemnity Claim” and such amount specified in clause (b)(ii), the “Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount”); provided, however, the Paying Agent (i) shall pay the amount of any Transaction Payroll Taxes with respect to the payments contemplated in this Section 9.7(a) to the Company (or an Affiliate designated by Buyer) and (ii) shall pay any portion of the Excess Indemnity Escrow Amount that is subject to withholding as wages or compensation to the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company designated by Buyer) for further payment to the payee through the Company’s (or such Affiliate’s) payroll system and net of any applicable withholding Taxes payable with respect thereto. If there are any Unresolved Indemnity Claims as of the General Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall retain possession and custody of the Retained Indemnity Escrow Amount. Once all Unresolved Indemnity Claims have been finally resolved and all amounts owed to the Buyer Indemnified Parties have been satisfied, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to deliver the remaining amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, if any, to be delivered to the Company Unitholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Allocation Portions, in the manner indicated above. Any amounts payable by the Paying Agent to the Company Unitholders shall be paid pursuant to the wire instructions for such Company Unitholder as set forth in such Company Unitholder’s Letter of Transmittal.

(b)Schedule 9.2(h) Escrow Fund. Promptly following the date that is eighteen months following the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer an updated Consideration Spreadsheet in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer reflecting the allocation of the Excess Schedule 9.2(h) Amount (as defined below) among the Company Unitholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Allocation Portions (the “Schedule 9.2(h) Payment Spreadsheet”). Within five (5) Business Days following the later of the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date and the delivery of the Schedule 9.2(h) Payment Spreadsheet to Buyer, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to release to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Unitholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Allocation Portions) an amount of cash (the “Excess Schedule 9.2(h) Amount”) equal to the amount (if any) by which (a) the then remaining Schedule 9.2(h) Escrow Fund exceeds (b) the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy any unresolve or unsatisfied Claims that were asserted on or before the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date (each an “Unresolved Schedule 9.2(h) Claim” and such amount specified in clause (b)(ii), the “Retained Schedule 9.2(h) Amount”); provided, however, the Paying Agent (i) shall pay the amount of any Transaction Payroll Taxes with respect to the payments contemplated in this Section 9.7(b) to the Company (or an Affiliate designated by Buyer) and (ii) shall pay any portion of the Excess Schedule 9.2(h) Amount that is subject to withholding as wages or compensation to the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company designated by Buyer) for further payment to the payee through the Company’s (or such

Affiliate’s) payroll system and net of any applicable withholding Taxes payable with respect thereto. If there are any Unresolved Schedule 9.2(h) Claims as of the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall retain possession and custody of the Retained Schedule 9.2(h) Amount. Once all Unresolved Schedule 9.2(h) Claims have been finally resolved and all amounts owed to the Buyer Indemnified Parties have been satisfied, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to deliver the remaining amounts in the Schedule 9.2(h) Escrow Fund, if any, to be delivered to the Company Unitholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Allocation Portions, in the manner indicated above. Any amounts payable by the Paying Agent to the Company Unitholders shall be paid pursuant to the wire instructions for such Company Unitholder as set forth in such Company Unitholder’s Letter of Transmittal.

Section 9.8Exclusive Remedies. Following the Closing, except for (a) claims for Fraud, (b) claims for specific performance or equitable relief and (c) the post-closing adjustment procedures in Section 2.11 and (d) the obligation of the Company Unitholders to pay Taxes as provided in Article VII, the rights to indemnification under this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Seller Indemnifying Parties with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Article IX shall be deemed to limit the rights or remedies of any Buyer Indemnified Party under any Contract, other than this Agreement, entered into by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Party shall assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of each other Party. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Buyer may, without obtaining the consent of any Party hereto: (i) assign any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any of its lenders as collateral security; (ii) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or to any successor to Buyer by merger, consolidation or reorganization so long as such successor will own all or substantially all of the assets of Buyer; and (iii) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in any or all of which cases); provided, however, Buyer shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder in respect of any such assignment. Any purported assignment of rights or delegation of obligations in violation of this Section 10.6, whether voluntary or involuntary, by merger, consolidation, dissolution, operation of law, or otherwise, is void.

Section 10.7Headings; Definitions; Construction and Interpretive Matters. Captions, titles and headings to articles, sections or paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to “Article,” “Section,” “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refer to the corresponding articles, sections, exhibits or schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise stated and, unless the context otherwise specifically requires, refer to all subsections or subparagraphs thereof. All defined terms and phrases used in this Agreement are equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. Nouns and pronouns will be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular and plural, as the identity of the person or persons may in the context require. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise clearly requires: (i) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” do not limit the preceding terms or words and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;” (ii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereto” and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) references herein to any Person shall include such Person’s heirs, executors, personal representatives, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that nothing contained in this clause (iii) is intended to authorize any assignment or transfer not otherwise permitted by this Agreement; (iv) if the last day for the giving of any notice or the performance of any act required or permitted under this Agreement is a day that is not a Business Day,

then the time for the giving of such notice or the performance of such action shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; (v) any information or materials “provided,” “made available” or “delivered” to Buyer in respect of periods on or prior to the date hereof means posted in the Company’s electronic data room hosted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & Company, LLC, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date hereof and only to the extent such documents and information has remained available to Buyer from the date of initial posting through the Closing; and (iv) all references to the Company shall be deemed to be a reference to the Company and all of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries. The words “day” or “days” shall mean calendar day, unless denoted as a Business Day. Any reference to “$,” “dollar” or similar references shall mean United States dollars, unless expressly stated otherwise. The exhibits and schedules referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The Parties agree that any drafts of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements prior to the final fully executed drafts shall not be used for purposes of interpreting any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and each of the Parties agrees that no Party shall make any claim, assert any defense or otherwise take any position inconsistent with the foregoing in connection with any dispute or proceeding among any of the foregoing or for any other purpose. Accounting terms which are not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them under GAAP; provided, however, that to the extent that the definition of an accounting term defined in this Agreement is inconsistent with the meaning of such term under GAAP, the definition set forth in this Agreement will control.

Section 10.8Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived except by an agreement in writing duly executed by ▇▇▇▇▇, on the one hand, and the Company (before the Closing) or the Sellers’ Representative (after the Closing), on the other hand. No failure of any Party hereto to exercise any right or remedy given to such Party under this Agreement or otherwise available to such Party or to insist upon strict compliance by any other Party with its obligations hereunder, and no custom or practice of the Parties in variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of any Party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. Any written waiver shall be limited to those items specifically waived therein and shall not be deemed to waive any future breaches or violations or other non-specified breaches or violations unless, and to the extent, expressly set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with only the written consent of Buyer solely for the purpose of adding any Company Unitholders to this Agreement in connection with the execution by such Company Unitholders of a Joinder Agreement. Each of the Company, Company Unitholders and the Sellers’ Representative acknowledge and agree that any amendment of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.8 shall be binding upon and effective against the Company, the Company Unitholders and the Sellers’ Representative.

Section 10.9Representation of Parties. The Parties acknowledge that they have been represented by competent counsel of their own choice and that this Agreement has been the product of negotiation between them. Accordingly, the Parties agree that in the event of any ambiguity in any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed against a Party regardless of which Party was responsible for the drafting thereof.

Section 10.10Dispute Resolution. From and after the Closing, in the event of any dispute or disagreement between any of the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or any agreement incorporated herein, the performance of obligations hereunder or thereunder, or any other disputed matter relating hereto or thereto (except for the determinations to be made by the Neutral Auditors pursuant to Section 2.11) (each, a “Dispute”), such Dispute, upon the written request of either Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative, shall be referred to an authorized representative of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, or their respective designees. Such Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute for a period of twenty (20) days prior to pursuing other remedies, provided that the foregoing shall not restrict a Party’s right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief, provided further that if the matter has not been resolved within twenty (20) days of the written request related to such Dispute the Parties may pursue any remedies available to such Parties under this Agreement including filing an Action in any court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of

this Section 10.10 shall not apply to the provisions of Article VII (Tax Matters) or Article IX (Indemnification).

Section 10.11Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (whether or not such breach is material or willful). It is accordingly agreed that the Parties hereto will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereto hereby further waives: (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate; and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 10.12Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.

Section 10.13Third Parties. Except for the Buyer Indemnified Parties, who are intended third party beneficiaries of Article IX, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon or give any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement.

Section 10.14Severability. In the event that a court or arbitral body of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the application of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by Law, each Party waives any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 10.15Certain Matters Regarding ▇▇▇▇▇▇ PLC’s Representation of the Company Unitholders. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby consents to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ representation of the Company Unitholders or Sellers’ Representative after the Closing in connection with any matter relating to this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements, including any negotiation, transaction or dispute with such person and such person’s Affiliates under or relating to this Agreement or the other Ancillary Agreements and any related matters.

Section 10.16Sellers’ Representative.

(a)By virtue of the execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement by the Support Unitholders, and the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Company Unitholders, and receiving the benefits of the Merger, including any consideration payable hereunder, each Company Unitholder hereby irrevocably constitutes, appoints and designates Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as of the Closing, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for all purposes in connection with this Agreement, and any related agreements, with full power and authority to represent such Company Unitholders and such Company Unitholder’s successors and assigns with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and all actions taken by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements will be binding upon each Company Unitholder and such Company Unitholder’s successors and assigns as if expressly ratified and confirmed in writing by them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’

Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Company Unitholder and such Company Unitholder’s successors and assigns, to interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to dispute or fail to dispute any claim for a Loss under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, to negotiate and compromise any dispute that may arise under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and to sign any releases or other documents with respect to any such dispute. Each Company Unitholder will be deemed a party or a signatory to any agreement, document, instrument or certificate for which the Sellers’ Representative signs on behalf of such Company Unitholder. All decisions, actions and instructions by the Sellers’ Representative will be conclusive and binding on each Company Unitholder and no Company Unitholder shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Buyer has the right to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Sellers’ Representative as to the settlement of any actions required to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative hereunder, and no Party will have any cause of action against the Buyer for any action taken by the Buyer in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Sellers’ Representative. The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative is an agency coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and any action taken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 10.16 is effective and absolutely binding on each Company Unitholder notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from any Company Unitholder. Notices and communications to or from the Sellers’ Representative shall constitute a notice and communication to or from, respectively, each of the Company Unitholders and the Seller Indemnifying Parties. The death or incapacity, or dissolution or other termination of existence, of any Company Unitholder does not terminate the authority and agency of the Sellers’ Representative (or successor thereto). The Sellers’ Representative may resign at any time. The provisions of this Section 10.16 are binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives and successors of each Company Unitholder, and any references in this Agreement to any Company Unitholder shall mean and include the successors to such Company Unitholder’s rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

(b)The Sellers’ Representative shall act for the Company Unitholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Sellers’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Unitholders as a whole and consistent with its obligations under this Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative will incur no liability in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from its fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Unitholders shall indemnify the Sellers’ Representative against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, liabilities and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel, accountants, auditors and other advisors retained by the Sellers’ Representative (“Sellers’ Representative Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Sellers’ Representative Expense is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Sellers’ Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative will reimburse the Company Unitholders the amount of such indemnified Sellers’ Representative Expense to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Sellers’ Representative Expenses may be recovered by the Sellers’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Company Unitholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Unitholders; provided, that while the Sellers’ Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Unitholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Sellers’ Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Sellers’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Unitholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Company Unitholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Sellers’ Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c)All Sellers’ Representative Expenses in excess of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount shall be paid directly by the Company Unitholders (in accordance with their respective

Pro Rata Indemnity Portions) to the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative shall hold the Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount paid to it at Closing for any expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative and to satisfy any obligations that may be owed by the Company Unitholders under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or to satisfy any or to satisfy any costs, expenses, Liabilities, Taxes or other amounts that the Sellers’ Representative may incur in connection with acting in such capacity under this Agreement. The Company Unitholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Sellers’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Sellers’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Sellers’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Sellers’ Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Unitholders. For tax purposes, the Sellers’ Representative Expense Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Unitholders at the time of Closing.
