1.7 Company Securityholder Representative.

In connection therewith, the Company Securityholder Representative is authorized to do or refrain from doing all further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Company Securityholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate, and shall have the power and authority to, in each case, in the name and on behalf of the Company Equity Holders (in each case, to the extent of such Company Equity Holder’s capacity as such and, for clarity, not with respect to any employment or similar matters):

(i) act for some or all of the Company Equity Holders with regard to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents;

(ii) act for the Company Equity Holders to transact matters of litigation or arbitration with regard to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents;

(iv) receive funds, make payments of funds and give receipts for funds;

(v) do or refrain from doing, on behalf of the Company Equity Holders, any further act or deed that the Company Securityholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in the Company Securityholder Representative’s discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, in each case as fully and completely as the Company Equity Holders could do if personally present;

(vi) give and receive all notices required to be given or received by the Company Equity Holders under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents;

The Company Securityholder Representative shall not be paid any fee for services to be rendered hereunder but shall be reimbursed on demand for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of the Company Securityholder Representative’s duties (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) under this Agreement from the Company Securityholder Representative Expense Amount. Upon the determination of the Company Securityholder Representative that retaining any portion of the Company Securityholder Representative Expense Amount is no longer necessary, the Company Securityholder Representative shall deliver any then-remaining portion of the Company Securityholder Representative Expense Amount to the Company Equity Holders in accordance with each Company Equity Holder’s pro rata share of the Estimated Merger Consideration as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii). The Company Securityholder Representative shall hold, invest, reinvest and disburse the Company Securityholder Representative Expense Amount in trust for all of the Company Equity Holders, and the Company Securityholder Representative Expense Amount shall not be used for any other purpose and shall not be available to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to satisfy any claims hereunder.

(c) The Company Securityholder Representative shall act for the Company Equity Holders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents in good faith and in the manner the Company Securityholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Company Equity Holders. The Company Securityholder Representative is authorized to act on behalf of the Company Equity Holders notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Company Equity Holders. In taking any action as the Company Securityholder Representative, the Company Securityholder Representative may rely conclusively, without any further inquiry or investigation, upon any certification or confirmation, oral or written, given by any Person whom the Company Securityholder Representative reasonably believes to be authorized thereunto.

(d) In the event the Company Securityholder Representative becomes unable to perform the Company Securityholder Representative’s responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Company Securityholder Representative shall select another representative to fill the vacancy of the Company Securityholder Representative, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Company Securityholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, that if the Company Securityholder Representative has not selected a substitute representative at or prior to the time of such inability or resignation, the Company Equity Holders (acting by a written instrument signed by the Company Equity Holders who held, as of immediately prior to the Closing, a majority (by voting power) of the then-outstanding Company Interests) shall select such substitute representative. The Company Securityholder Representative may be removed only upon delivery of written notice to Parent (or, following the Closing, the Surviving Pubco) signed by the Company Equity Holders who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, held a majority (by voting power) of the then outstanding Company Interests; provided, that no such removal shall be effective until such time as a successor Company Securityholder Representative shall have been validly appointed hereunder. The Company Securityholder Representative shall provide Parent (or, following the Closing, the Surviving Pubco) prompt written notice of any replacement of the Company Securityholder Representative, including the identity and address of the new Company Securityholder Representative.

2.5 Adjustment Before and After the Closing. The Estimated Closing Adjustment and the Final Closing Adjustment shall be determined as set forth below in this Section 2.5:

(a) No less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement”), duly executed by an officer of the Company, setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Closing Adjustment Items (the “Estimated Closing Adjustment”), including an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Effective Time. The Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement (i) shall be derived in good faith from the Books and Records of the Acquired Companies and (ii) shall be prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) using the same accounting methods, policies, principles, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodologies as were used in preparation of the Base Balance Sheet. Promptly after delivering the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement to Parent, the Company will meet with Parent (which meeting may be telephonic) to review and discuss the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement, and the Company will consider in good faith Parent’s comments to the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement, and, to the extent mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent, both acting reasonably and in good faith, make any appropriate adjustments to the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement prior to the Closing, which adjusted Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement shall thereafter become the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Company and Parent are unable to reach mutual agreement on any such adjustments, the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement delivered by the Company shall be the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Within seventy-five (75) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Surviving Pubco shall prepare and deliver to the Company Securityholder Representative a statement (the “Closing Adjustment Statement”), duly executed by an officer of the Surviving Pubco, setting forth the Surviving Pubco’s determination of the Closing Adjustment Items, including an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Effective Time. The Closing Adjustment Statement (i) shall be derived in good faith from the Books and Records of the Acquired Companies and (ii) shall be prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP using the same accounting methods, policies, principles, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodologies as were used in preparation of the Base Balance Sheet. The Closing Adjustment Statement, as proposed by the Surviving Pubco pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.5 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement”, the Closing Adjustment Items reflected thereon shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.5 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment” and each shall be final and binding on all Parties, unless the Company Securityholder Representative timely delivers to the Surviving Pubco an Objection Notice in accordance with Section 2.5(c). The Surviving Pubco shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, provide to the Company Securityholder Representative reasonable access to the Acquired Companies’ Books and Records as the Company Securityholder Representative may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Closing Adjustment Statement and shall cause the personnel of the Acquired Companies to reasonably cooperate with the Company Securityholder Representative in connection with its review of the Closing Adjustment Statement.

(c) In the event that the Company Securityholder Representative disputes the Closing Adjustment Statement delivered by the Surviving Pubco pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or the amount of any Closing Adjustment Item reflected thereon, the Company Securityholder Representative shall notify the Surviving Pubco in writing (the “Objection Notice”) of such dispute, within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement pursuant to Section 2.5(b). Any such Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Company Securityholder Representative disagrees and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. The Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences regarding the determination of the disputed items or amounts for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the Surviving Pubco’s receipt of the Objection Notice. If the Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative reach a final resolution on the Closing Adjustment Statement within thirty (30) calendar days after the Surviving Pubco’s receipt of the Objection Notice (or within any additional period as mutually agreed to between the Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative), then the Closing Adjustment Statement agreed upon by the Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.5 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement”, the Closing Adjustment Items reflected thereon shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.5 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment” and each shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(d) If the Company Securityholder Representative and the Surviving Pubco do not reach a final resolution on the items in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Objection Notice, unless the Company Securityholder Representative and the Surviving Pubco mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative shall engage the Neutral Accountant within fifteen (15) calendar days thereafter (provided, that if the Neutral Accountant does not accept its appointment or if the Company Securityholder Representative and the Surviving Pubco cannot agree on the Neutral Accountant, in either case during such fifteen (15) calendar day period, then the Company Securityholder Representative or the Surviving Pubco may require, by written notice to the other, that the Neutral Accountant be selected by the New York City Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its procedures). The Neutral Accountant shall resolve such differences pursuant to an engagement agreement executed by the Company Securityholder Representative, the Surviving Pubco and the Neutral Accountant in accordance with this Section 2.5(d). Each of the Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative shall submit to the Neutral Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within ten (10) days after the date of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant, a memorandum (which may include supporting exhibits) setting forth their respective positions with respect to the Closing Adjustment Items set forth in the Objection Notice. Each of the Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative may (but shall not be required to) submit to the Neutral Accountant (with a copy delivered to the other party on the same day), within twenty (20) calendar days after the date of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant, a memorandum responding to the initial memorandum submitted to the Neutral Accountant by the other party. None of the Surviving Pubco, the Company Securityholder Representative, any other Party hereto or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Neutral Accountant regarding the subject matter hereof without the other party’s prior written consent. The Neutral Accountant shall be given reasonable access to all relevant records of the Surviving Pubco and the Surviving Company to calculate the Closing Adjustment Statement. The Neutral Accountant shall act as an expert in accounting to determine only the Closing Adjustment Items set forth in the Objection Notice still in dispute and shall be limited to those adjustments, if any, required to be made for the Final Closing Adjustment to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The Surviving Pubco, the Company Securityholder Representative and the other Parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Neutral Accountant to issue its written determination regarding the Closing Adjustment Items set forth in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after such items are submitted for review. Absent fraud or manifest error, the Closing Adjustment Statement as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.5 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement”, the Closing Adjustment Items reflected thereon shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.5 to be the “Final Closing Adjustment” and each shall be final and binding on all Parties. In determining the Closing Adjustment Statement and the Closing Adjustment Items, the Neutral Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. A judgment on the determination made by the Neutral Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.5 may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction.

(e) The Neutral Accountant shall not be authorized or permitted to:

(i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the Company Securityholder Representative and the Surviving Pubco regarding the determination of the Closing Adjustment Statement and the Closing Adjustment Items in accordance with this Section 2.5;

(ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to the Closing Adjustment Statement that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by the Company Securityholder Representative and the Surviving Pubco; or

(iii) apply any accounting methods, treatments, principles or procedures other than as described in this Section 2.5.

(f) The fees and disbursements of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne by the Surviving Pubco.

(g) If the amount of the Final Closing Adjustment is greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment, then the Company Securityholder Representative shall, within three (3) Business Days after the date of determination of the Final Closing Adjustment, direct the Escrow Agent to (i) deliver a number of Adjustment Escrow Units (and, to the extent in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Units, other Adjustment Escrow Property) to the Surviving Company, equal to the lesser of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the amount of any such excess by (B) the Per Share Price, which such Adjustment Escrow Units shall be cancelled by the Surviving Company and (y) the entire Adjustment Escrow Property and (ii) to the extent that, after delivery of the Adjustment Escrow Property to the Surviving Company, there is remaining Adjustment Escrow Property held by the Escrow Agent, deliver such remaining Adjustment Escrow Property (the “Remaining Amount”) to the Paying and Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Company Equity Holders) to be delivered to the Company Equity Holders pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii)(C).

(h) If the amount of the Estimated Closing Adjustment is greater than the Final Closing Adjustment (any such excess, the “Excess Amount”), then, within three (3) Business Days after the date of determination of the Final Closing Adjustment, (i) the Surviving Company shall issue a number of Surviving Company Membership Units to the Company Equity Holders pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii)(D), in each case equal to the lesser of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Excess Amount by (B) the Per Share Price, and (y) the entire Adjustment Escrow Property and (ii) the Surviving Pubco shall direct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Adjustment Escrow Property to the Paying and Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Company Equity Holders) to be delivered to the Company Equity Holders pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii)(E).

(i) The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5 shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any disputes with respect to the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Statement and the Final Closing Adjustment; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit the Surviving Pubco or the Company Securityholder Representative from instituting litigation to enforce the determination of the Neutral Accountant.

2.6 Earn Out.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.6, the Earn Out Units shall be issuable to the Company Equity Holders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2 as follows (any such issuable Earn Out Units, “Earned Earn Out Units”):

(ii) if at any time during the twenty-four (24) months following the Closing the VWAP of the Surviving Pubco Class A Shares is greater than or equal to $14.00 over any 20 Trading Days within any 30-Trading Day period, 100% of the Earn Out Units.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the number of Earn Out Units to be issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited such that in no event shall the Company Equity Holders receive more than 100% of the Earn Out Units. The Surviving Pubco Class A Share price targets in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the Surviving Pubco Class A Shares after the date of this Agreement (other than in respect of issuances of Surviving Pubco Class A Shares in connection with (i) any Additional Equity Financing or (ii) the issuance of the Equity Consideration (including the Estimated Equity Consideration)).

(b) In the event of the satisfaction of the threshold set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i) or the threshold set forth in Section 2.6(a)(ii), as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after such satisfaction, the Surviving Pubco will deliver to the Company Securityholder Representative a written statement (each, a “Stock Price Earn-Out Statement”) that sets forth (i) the VWAP over the applicable 20-Trading Day period and (ii) the calculation of the amount of Earned Earn Out Units in connection therewith. Any Earned Earn Out Units issuable as a result of the satisfaction of the threshold set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i) or the threshold set forth in Section 2.6(a)(ii) shall be issued to the Company Equity Holders in accordance with Section 2.2 and the Earn Out Payout Schedule within five (5) Business Days after such satisfaction.

(c) Following the Closing, including during the twenty-four (24) months following the Closing, the Surviving Pubco and its Subsidiaries, including the Acquired Companies, will be entitled to operate their respective businesses based upon the business requirements of the Surviving Pubco and its Subsidiaries. Each of the Surviving Pubco and its Subsidiaries, including the Acquired Companies, will be permitted following the Closing, including during the twenty-four (24) months following the Closing, to make changes in its sole discretion to its operations, organization, personnel, accounting practices and other aspects of its business, including actions that may have an impact on the Earn Out Units becoming Earned Earn Out Units, and none of the Company Equity Holders (nor the Company Securityholder Representative on their behalf) will have any right to claim the loss of all or any portion of an Earn Out Units or other damages as a result of such decisions so long as such changes are not made with the primary intent to reduce the amount of any Earn Out Units that would otherwise be deliverable to Company Equity Holders.

(d) In the event that there is a Company Sale after the Closing and prior to the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, 100% of the Earn Out Units (to the extent not already issued pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2 and this Section 2.6) shall be deemed earned and issuable to the Company Equity Holders, notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of any of the applicable thresholds set forth in Section 2.6(a).

(e) For purposes hereof, a “Company Sale” means the occurrence of any of the following events, in each case solely in the event that the implied per share consideration received by the shareholders of the Surviving Pubco in any such Company Sale is greater than the Per Share Price:

There are no side letters or other agreements, Contracts or arrangements, whether written or oral (except for the Debt Commitment Letter), relating to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Debt Financing or otherwise affecting the availability of the Debt Financing.

The SEC Reports (x) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder and (y) did not, as of their respective effective dates (in the case of SEC Reports that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and at the time they were filed with the SEC (in the case of all other SEC Reports) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the SEC staff with respect to Parent or the SEC Reports. As of the date hereof, (i) none of the SEC Reports is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comments and (ii) neither the SEC nor any other Governmental Authority is conducting any investigation or review of any SEC Report. The Public Certifications are each true as of their respective dates of filing.

Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Parent’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures and, to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable SEC Report, or any amendment thereto, its conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation. Based on Parent’s management’s most recently completed evaluation of Parent’s internal control over financial reporting, (i) Parent had no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) Parent does not have knowledge of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting.

(a) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, the Surviving Pubco agrees to retain, in accordance with the Company’s historical record retention policy (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to retain), and the Surviving Pubco shall not (and shall not permit the Acquired Companies to) dispose of or destroy, other than in compliance with such historical record retention policy, any of, the business records and files of the Acquired Companies relating to all periods prior to the Closing Date, in the form such business records and files existed as of the Closing Date. Subject to Section 6.1(b) below, the Surviving Pubco shall make such copies, if any, reasonably available to the Company Securityholder Representative or its Representatives for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date to the extent necessary for the Company Securityholder Representative, any Company Equity Holder or any of their respective Representatives to (x) fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or (y) satisfy any of its reporting or similar obligations to any of its members; provided, however, any such access shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation of the business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all such records may be destroyed by the Surviving Pubco at any time if such Party sends to the Company Securityholder Representative written notice of its intent to destroy such records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the records to be destroyed. Such records may then be destroyed after the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following such notice unless the Company Securityholder Representative notifies the destroying party that it desires to obtain possession of such records, in which event the destroying party shall transfer the records to the Company Securityholder Representative, subject to Section 6.1(b) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Surviving Pubco and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide any information or access that the Surviving Pubco reasonably believes would violate applicable Law, including antitrust Laws and data protection Laws, rules or regulations or the terms of any applicable confidentiality obligation or cause forfeiture of attorney/client privilege.

(b) The Company Securityholder Representative hereby agrees that it shall, and shall cause its Representatives to treat and hold in strict confidence any Acquired Company Confidential Information provided pursuant to Section 6.1(a), and, except as set forth in Section 6.1(a), will not use for any purpose, nor directly or indirectly disclose, distribute, publish, disseminate or otherwise make available to any third party any of the Acquired Company Confidential Information without the Surviving Pubco’s prior written consent.

6.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Intended Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties intend that (i) the Domestication is intended to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall be adopted as a plan of reorganization, (ii) the Surviving Company is a continuation of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the Parties shall treat the Cash Consideration received in connection with the Merger as an acquisition of interests in the Company by the Surviving Pubco (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Company Securityholder Representative shall prepare and deliver to the Surviving Pubco, within ninety (90) days following the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement, an allocation of the Merger Consideration and any other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes among the Company’s assets in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement and Section 1060 (and Section 751 and 755, if applicable) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation”). The Surviving Pubco shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Allocation to review and comment on the Allocation and the Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements; provided, that if the Surviving Pubco does not provide any comments in writing to the Company Securityholder Representative within such period, such Allocation as delivered by the Company Securityholder Representative shall become final. Any disputes under this Section 6.2 that cannot be resolved through good faith negotiation shall be referred to the Neutral Accountant, whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. The cost of the Neutral Accountant’s review and determination shall be borne by the Surviving Pubco and the Company Securityholder Representative in accordance with the principles of Section 2.5 of this Agreement. The Company Securityholder Representative and the Surviving Pubco shall report consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment and the Allocation on all Tax Returns, and no Party shall take any position in any Tax Return or with any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment or Allocation, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 6.2(a) in each case, unless required to do so by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code.

(b) Tax Returns.

(i) The Surviving Pubco shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies required to be filed after the Closing. The Surviving Pubco shall make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns. With respect to any Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies that are due after the Closing that are of the type used to report the income, loss, gain, deduction and other Tax attributes from the operation of a partnership or other pass-through entity and that are of the type that could reflect items of income, loss, gain, deduction or other Tax attributes required to be included on a Tax Return of a Company Equity Holder (whether or not such items are actually reflected thereon) (a “Flow-Through Tax Item”), (w) such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, (x) the Surviving Pubco shall submit such Tax Return to the Company Securityholder Representative no later than thirty (30) days prior to filing any such Tax Return for its review, (y) the Surviving Pubco shall make any changes to such Tax Returns reasonably requested by the Company Securityholder Representative to the extent such comments relate to Flow-Through Tax Items and (z) no such Tax Return shall be filed without the prior written consent of the Company Securityholder Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable period which includes the Closing Date.

(ii) The Surviving Pubco and the Company Equity Holders agree that in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns of or with respect to the Acquired Companies, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, deductions and/or losses of or with respect to Company Indebtedness, Employee Payments and Transaction Expenses shall be claimed in taxable periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (including any transfer or similar tax imposed by states or subdivisions) shall be borne by the Surviving Pubco, and paid when due. The Surviving Pubco shall, at its own expense, timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the Company Equity Holders will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(c) Allocation of Taxes. The portion of any Taxes for a taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date allocable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to equal (i) in the case of Taxes that (x) are based upon or related to income or receipts or (y) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property, other than Transfer Taxes, the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (including property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending with the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. For purposes of computing the Taxes attributable to the two portions of a taxable period pursuant to this Section 6.2(c), the amount of any item that is taken into account only once for each taxable period (e.g., the benefit of graduated tax rates, exemption amounts, etc.) shall be allocated between the two portions of the period in proportion to the number of days in each portion. The parties agree that all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among the members of the Company for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date shall be allocated by taking into account the member’s varying interests during such taxable year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code using the “interim closing of the books” method.

(d) Cooperation in Tax Matters. The Company Equity Holders and the Surviving Pubco shall cooperate reasonably in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies and any Tax Proceeding of any Acquired Company. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information with respect to any Acquired Company which are in the possession of any Company Equity Holder or the Surviving Pubco and are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company Equity Holders will cooperate reasonably and use commercially reasonable efforts to have the now-current officers, directors and employees of any Acquired Company cooperate with the Surviving Pubco in furnishing information, evidence, testimony and other assistance in connection with the filing of any Tax Return or any Tax Proceeding with respect to matters pertaining to any and all periods beginning prior to the Closing Date.

11.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (which includes the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule, the other schedules hereto and the exhibits hereto), the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement set forth the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the Transactions. Any and all previous agreements and understandings between or among the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement. Each of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule, the other schedules and the exhibits is incorporated herein by this reference and expressly made a part hereof, and all terms used in the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule or any schedule or exhibit shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in this Agreement.

11.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the Parties hereto may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; provided, that each of Parent and Merger Sub may assign all or certain provisions of this Agreement or any interest herein to the Debt Financing Sources following the Closing without the prior written consent of any other Party. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of any of its obligations hereunder.

11.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by e-mail shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

11.5 Expenses and Fees. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, each of the Parties shall bear its own expenses in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Transactions, including, all fees and expenses of its legal counsel, investment bankers, financial advisors, accountants and other advisors.

11.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that all disputes and proceedings (in contract, in tort, or otherwise) arising out of or related to the Debt Commitment Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

108

11.7 Submission to Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Each of the Parties hereto (i) irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wimington, Delaware (and in each case, any appellate courts thereof) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (iii) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iv) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any other court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any Party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.1. Nothing in this Section 11.7, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all rights to trial by jury in any action OR proceeding contemplated hereby.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 11.7(a), any dispute relating to the preparation or determination of the Closing Adjustment Statement, Closing Adjustment Items, Final Closing Adjustment Statement or the Final Closing Adjustment shall be resolved exclusively pursuant to Section 2.5 or 2.6, as applicable (except for any action or proceeding for the enforcement of any determination by the Neutral Accountant, which shall be subject to Section 11.7(a)).

(c) Notwithstanding Section 11.7(a), each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, suit or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any provider of the Debt Financing in any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, or if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof). In the event of any trial taking place in New York as contemplated by the prior sentence, each party hereto waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right to have a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent the dispute arises out of or relates to any provider of the Debt Financing, any related documents, or the performance thereof.

11.8 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the other Parties will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any Party of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements, each Party shall have the right to injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to obtain specific performance of, the other Parties’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction.

109

11.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstances is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remainder hereof, and the application of such provision to such Person or circumstances in any other jurisdiction, shall not be affected thereby, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement shall be severable. Upon such determination by such court or other Governmental Authority, the Parties will substitute for any invalid or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

11.10 Amendment; Waiver.

(a) This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties. Any extension or waiver by any Party of any provision hereto shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the condition precedent set forth in Section 7.3(c) has not been satisfied on the Closing Date, the Company may elect to partially waive (in an instrument in writing signed by the Company) the condition precedent set forth in Section 7.3(c) and elect to receive (i) Cash Consideration in an amount less than the Required Cash Amount and (ii) Estimated Equity Consideration (and, following the determination thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5, Equity Consideration) in lieu thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that any such partial waiver shall only affect the relative portions of Merger Consideration payable in cash or Surviving Company Membership Units, and shall not be construed in any way to reduce the Merger Consideration payable to the Company Equity Holders.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.10(a), none of this Section 11.10(b), the last sentence of Section 8.2 (Effect of Termination), the proviso to Section 11.3 (Successors and Assigns), the last sentence of Section 11.6 (Governing Law), Section 11.7(c) (Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial) or the proviso to Section 11.11 (Absence of Third Party Beneficiary Rights) may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified in any manner materially adverse to any Debt Financing Source without the consent of such Debt Financing Source (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

11.11 Absence of Third Party Beneficiary Rights. Except for Section 6.4 and ARTICLE IX, no provision of this Agreement is intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or to create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, Affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, employee or partner of any Party or any other Person, other than the Parties; provided, that the Debt Financing Sources shall be third-party beneficiaries to this proviso to Section 11.11, the last sentence of Section 8.2 (Effect of Termination), the proviso to Section 11.3 (Successors and Assigns), the last sentence of Section 11.6 (Governing Law), Section 11.7(c) (Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial) and, Section 11.10(b) (Amendment; Waiver).

110

11.12 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the mutual product of the Parties, and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of each of the Parties, and shall not be construed for or against any Party.

11.13 Further Representations. Each Party acknowledges and represents that it has been represented by its own legal counsel in connection with the Transactions, with the opportunity to seek advice as to its legal rights from such counsel. Each Party further represents that it is being independently advised as to the tax consequences of the Transactions and is not relying on any representation or statements made by any other Party as to such tax consequences.

11.14 Waiver of Conflicts.

(a) The Parties agree, on their own behalf and on behalf their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and Affiliates, that, following the Closing, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and/or Troutman Sanders LLP may serve as counsel to the Company Equity Holders and their Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the Transactions, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions notwithstanding any representation by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and/or Troutman Sanders LLP prior to the Closing Date of the Company. The Parties hereby (i) waive any claim they have or may have that Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and/or Troutman Sanders LLP has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises either before or after the Closing between Parent (or the Surviving Pubco), Merger Sub or the Company (or the Surviving Company), on the one hand, and any of the Company Equity Holders or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and/or Troutman Sanders LLP may represent the Company Equity Holders or any of their respective Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Parent (or the Surviving Pubco), Merger Sub or the Company (or the Surviving Company) and even though Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and/or Troutman Sanders LLP may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute. The Parties also further agree that, as to all communications prior to the Closing among Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and/or Troutman Sanders LLP and the Company, the Company Equity Holders or the Company Equity Holders’ Affiliates and Representatives, that relate in any way to the Transactions, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belong to the Company Equity Holders and may be controlled by the Company Equity Holders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent (or the Surviving Pubco), Merger Sub or the Company (or the Surviving Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent (or the Surviving Pubco), Merger Sub or the Company (or the Surviving Company), on the one hand, and a third party other than a Party to this Agreement (or any Affiliate or Representative thereof) after the Closing, the Surviving Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and/or Troutman Sanders LLP to such third party; provided, however, that the Surviving Company may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Company Securityholder Representative.

111

(b) The Parties agree, on their own behalf and on behalf their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and Affiliates, that, following the Closing, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP may serve as counsel to the Parent Sponsor and its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the Transactions, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions notwithstanding any representation by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP prior to the Closing Date of Parent. The Parties hereby (i) waive any claim they have or may have that Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises either before or after the Closing between Parent (or the Surviving Pubco), Merger Sub or the Company (or the Surviving Company), on the one hand, and Parent Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP may represent the Parent Sponsor or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Parent (or the Surviving Pubco), Merger Sub or the Company (or the Surviving Company) and even though Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute. The Parties also further agree that, as to all communications prior to the Closing among Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP and Parent, the Parent Sponsor or the Parent Sponsor’s Affiliates and Representatives, that relate in any way to the Transactions, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belong to the Parent Sponsor and may be controlled by the Parent Sponsor and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent (or the Surviving Pubco), Merger Sub or the Company (or the Surviving Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent (or the Surviving Pubco), Merger Sub or the Company (or the Surviving Company), on the one hand, and a third party other than a Party to this Agreement (or any Affiliate or Representative thereof) after the Closing, the Surviving Pubco may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP to such third party; provided, however, that the Surviving Pubco may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Parent Sponsor.

11.15 Public Disclosure. Except as otherwise provided herein (including with respect to the Announcement 8-K, the Completion 8-K, the Signing Press Release and the Closing Press Release) or as required by applicable Law, none of the Parties shall make any disclosure or permit any of their respective Affiliates to make any disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) of the subject matter of this Agreement unless previously approved by Parent, the Company and, after the Closing, the Company Securityholder Representative in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. No Company Equity Holder shall, and each Company Equity Holder shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, at any time, divulge, disclose or communicate to others in any manner whatsoever, information or statements which disparage or are intended to disparage Parent, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates and their respective business reputations; provided, however, that (i) any such Party may disclose such terms to its accountants and advisors who have a “need-to-know” solely for the purpose of providing services related to the Transactions to such party, and (ii) any Institutional Equity Holder may disclose any information relating to the Transactions to any investor or limited partner of such Institutional Equity Holder to the extent such disclosure is made in the ordinary course of such Institutional Equity Holder’s reporting or review procedure or in connection with such Institutional Equity Holder’s ordinary course fundraising, marketing, information or reporting activities.

112

11.16 Currency. Whenever any payment hereunder is to be paid in “cash”, payment shall be made in the legal tender of the United States and the method for payment shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In the event there is any need to convert U.S. dollars into any foreign currency, or vice versa, for any purpose under this Agreement, the exchange rate shall be that published by the Wall Street Journal on the date an obligation is paid (or if the Wall Street Journal is not published on such date, the first date thereafter on which the Wall Street Journal is published).

11.17 No Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except with respect to Excluded Company Matters, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub each covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the Company have any liabilities, obligations, commitments (whether known or unknown or whether contingent or otherwise) hereunder and thereunder, and that, notwithstanding that the Company Equity Holders or their respective managing members or general partners may be partnerships or limited liability companies, none of Parent or Merger Sub has any right of recovery under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or any claim based on such liabilities, obligations, commitments against, and no personal liability shall attach to, the former, current or future equity holders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers or general or limited partners of any of the Company or any former, current or future stockholder, controlling Person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, Affiliate or agent of any of the foregoing (collectively, but not including the Company, a “Company Non-Recourse Party”), through the Company or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Company against any Company Non-Recourse Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or Law, or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, other than with respect to any Excluded Company Matters, no claim will be brought or maintained by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, direct or indirect equity holders, controlling Persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, affiliated (or commonly advised) funds, representatives, agents or any of their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future general or limited partner, stockholder, direct or indirect equity holder, equity financing source, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, affiliated (or commonly advised) fund, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing against any Company Non-Recourse Party that is not otherwise expressly identified as a Party to this Agreement, and no recourse will be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any Party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement, any exhibit or schedule hereto, any other document contemplated hereby or any certificate, opinion, agreement or other document of the Company or any other Person delivered hereunder.

113

(b) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except with respect to Excluded Parent Matters, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement (and with respect to each Company Equity Holder, in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal delivered by such Company Equity Holder in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement), the Company, the Company Securityholder Representative and each Company Equity Holder each covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than Parent and Merger Sub have any liabilities, obligations, commitments (whether known or unknown or whether contingent or otherwise) hereunder and thereunder, and that, notwithstanding that the Parent Sponsor or its managing member or general partners may be partnerships or limited liability companies, none of the Company, the Company Securityholder Representative or the Company Equity Holders has any right of recovery under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or any claim based on such liabilities, obligations, commitments against, and no personal liability shall attach to, the former, current or future equity holders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers or general or limited partners of any of Parent or Merger Sub or any former, current or future stockholder, controlling Person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, Affiliate or agent of any of the foregoing (collectively, but not including Parent or Merger Sub, a “Parent Non-Recourse Party”), through Parent or Merger Sub or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub (or their respective successors) against any Parent Non-Recourse Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or Law, or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, other than with respect to any Excluded Parent Matters, no claim will be brought or maintained by the Company, the Company Securityholder Representative, the Company Equity Holders or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, direct or indirect equity holders, controlling Persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, affiliated (or commonly advised) funds, representatives, agents or any of their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future general or limited partner, stockholder, direct or indirect equity holder, equity financing source, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, affiliated (or commonly advised) fund, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing against any Parent Non-Recourse Party that is not otherwise expressly identified as a Party to this Agreement, and no recourse will be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any Party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement, any exhibit or schedule hereto, any other document contemplated hereby or any certificate, opinion, agreement or other document of the Company or any other Person delivered hereunder.

Annex A

Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the consummation of the Closing, the Surviving Pubco will file with the SEC (at the Surviving Pubco’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Surviving Pubco Class A Shares purchased by the investor in the Additional Equity Financing (the “Shares”), and Surviving Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. Surviving Pubco will cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement) to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Shares, or (ii) on the first date on which the investor can sell all of its Shares (or securities received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold. The investor will disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Surviving Pubco’s securities to Surviving Pubco upon request to assist Surviving Pubco in making the determination described above. Surviving Pubco’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the investor furnishing in writing to Surviving Pubco such information regarding the investor, the securities of Surviving Pubco held by the investor and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by Surviving Pubco to effect the registration of the Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Surviving Pubco may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. Surviving Pubco may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines in the opinion of counsel for Surviving Pubco that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act; provided, that, Surviving Pubco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by the investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.
