(e) Release of Escrowed Shares to Qualifying CSR Holders. The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days following its receipt of the Issuance Statement as well as any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent (subject to any reasonable delay in the event of a Permitted Delay), coordinate with TortoiseCorp III (including in any capacity as TortoiseCorp III’s transfer agent) to instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Escrowed Shares, subject to Section 2.4(h), to each Qualifying CSR Holder (with any such TortoiseCorp III Common Shares so issued being in uncertificated book-entry form). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any party hereto be required to issue to (x) the Qualifying CSR Holders an aggregate amount of TortoiseCorp III Common Shares in excess of the Escrowed Shares or (y) any Qualifying CSR Holder any fractional TortoiseCorp III Common Shares. If any fractional TortoiseCorp III Common Shares would otherwise be required to be issued to a Qualifying CSR Holder but for this sentence, the number of TortoiseCorp III Common Shares to be issued to such Qualifying CSR Holder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each CSR held by a CSR Holder that is not a Qualifying CSR Holder shall be deemed to be immediately and automatically cancelled as of the CSR Maturity Date, with no further consideration owed to such CSR Holder and (ii) each CSR held by a Qualifying CSR Holder shall be deemed to be immediately and automatically cancelled upon the issuance of the Escrowed Shares to such Qualifying CSR Holder, or as otherwise contemplated by Section 2.4(j).

(f) Release of Escrowed Shares to Jereme Kent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time prior to the CSR Maturity Date, the CSR Cancellation Trigger shall have occurred, (A) all CSRs shall be deemed immediately and automatically cancelled as of the date of the CSR Cancellation Trigger and (B) the Rights Agent shall cause the Escrow Agent to release the Escrowed Shares to Jereme Kent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

If, prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, a Change of Control occurs and the consideration in such Change of Control (including the aggregate value of any and all cash, equity securities, debt securities or other assets, with such value being determined pursuant to the documents effecting the Change of Control) attributable to any TortoiseCorp III Common Share has an aggregate value that:


(i) is equal to or greater than $12.00 per TortoiseCorp III Common Share, then from and after the date of the Change of Control, a CSR Cancellation Trigger shall have occurred; or

(ii) is less than the per share value of a TortoiseCorp III Common Share specified in Section 2.4(g)(i) for the applicable date of the Change of Control, then the Escrowed Shares (or, if applicable, the consideration received therefore as a result of the Change of Control) shall remain in escrow with the Escrow Agent for future release on or after the CSR Maturity Date (or such earlier date as TortoiseCorp III and the Rights Agent may mutually agree) pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.4 (as the same may be reasonably modified by TortoiseCorp III solely to equitably account for any changes of the securities or other consideration held in escrow as a result of the Change of Control, so as to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be provided pursuant to this Agreement); provided, however, that if any Change of Control occurs pursuant to this clause (ii), the consideration for which consists solely of cash, then, the date of such Change of Control shall be, for all purposes hereunder, the CSR Maturity Date and TortoiseCorp III shall promptly issue a press release so stating and the parties hereto shall take such other actions pursuant to this Section 2.4 consistent with the CSR Maturity Date being the date of such Change of Control with respect to the CSRs to effect as near as possible the intent of this Section 2.4 (including, to the extent determined by TortoiseCorp III, causing the release of escrowed cash funds (received as consideration for the Escrowed Shares as a result of the Change of Control) to be released to Qualifying CSR Holders in lieu of issuances of TortoiseCorp III Common Shares).

TortoiseCorp III (or any successor thereto pursuant to a Change of Control) shall promptly, and in any event, within 5 Business Days following any Change of Control, provide written notice to the Rights Agent of such Change of Control.

(h) Adjustments for Extraordinary Events. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if prior to the CSR Maturity Date there is any recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, split-up, spin-off, exchange of Common Stock, repurchase or other change in the corporate structure of TortoiseCorp III affecting the TortoiseCorp III Common Shares (each, an “Extraordinary Event”), the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed modified to equitably account for such Extraordinary Event and to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, with any specific modifications to be as determined by TortoiseCorp III, in its reasonable discretion. TortoiseCorp III (or any successor thereto pursuant to an Extraordinary Event) shall promptly, and in any event, within 5 Business Days following any Extraordinary Event, provide written notice to the Rights Agent of such Extraordinary Event.

(i) Withholding. TortoiseCorp III or its Affiliate shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Rights Agent to deduct and withhold, such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under any provision of applicable Tax law as reasonably determined by TortoiseCorp III. Prior to making any such Tax withholdings or causing any such Tax withholdings to be made with respect to any Qualifying CSR Holder, TortoiseCorp III shall instruct the Rights Agent to solicit, to the extent not already in its possession, IRS Form W-9s or W-8s, or any other appropriate forms or information, from Qualifying CSR Holders in order to provide a reasonable opportunity for the Qualifying CSR Holder to timely provide any necessary Tax forms (including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8) in order to avoid or reduce such withholding. TortoiseCorp III, its Affiliates and the Rights Agent may assume all such forms in its possession or provided by any Qualifying CSR Holder are valid under applicable law until subsequently notified by such Qualifying CSR Holder. TortoiseCorp III or its Affiliate shall, or shall cause the Rights Agent to, take all action that may be necessary to ensure that any amounts withheld in respect of Taxes are promptly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity. To the extent any amounts are so deducted and withheld and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made, and as required by applicable law, TortoiseCorp III shall, in a timely manner, deliver (or shall cause the Rights Agent to deliver) to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid an original IRS Form 1099 or other reasonably acceptable documents evidencing such withholding.


(j) No Liability. None of TortoiseCorp III, the Rights Agent or any other party hereto shall be liable to any Qualifying CSR Holder for all or any portion of any such Qualifying CSR Holder’s Common Stock issuable on the CSR Maturity Date properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar law. If any information or other matters to be delivered by a Qualifying CSR Holder to any other party hereto has not been delivered prior to the time that is immediately prior to the time at which (i) all or any portion of such Qualifying CSR Holder’s TortoiseCorp III Common Shares would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity or (ii) this Agreement would terminate pursuant to Section 5.10(b), such TortoiseCorp III Common Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of TortoiseCorp III, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto and such applicable CSRs shall be deemed immediately and automatically cancelled.

(k) Authorized Shares. The TortoiseCorp III Common Shares issuable to Qualifying CSR Holders on the CSR Maturity Date will, when issued, (i) be duly authorized and validly issued, (ii) be fully paid and non-assessable, (iii) be issued in compliance with all applicable laws, (iv) not be subject to preemptive rights or restrictions on transfer, other than applicable federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws; and (v) assuming the accuracy of the representations of the applicable Qualifying CSR Holder to be delivered to TortoiseCorp III on or after the CSR Maturity Date, the TortoiseCorp III Common Shares issued to Qualifying CSR Holders pursuant to the terms hereof will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws and not be issued in violation of any options, warrants, calls, rights (including preemptive rights), the organizational documents of TortoiseCorp III, commitments or agreements to which TortoiseCorp III is a party or by which it is bound.

(a) The CSRs will not have any dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable on the CSRs to any CSR Holder.

(b) The CSRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in TortoiseCorp III, any constituent company to any of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates.

2.6 Ability to Abandon CSR.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit TortoiseCorp III or any of TortoiseCorp III’s Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring any CSRs for consideration from the CSR Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion.

2.8 Registration and Listing.

(a) Subject to Section 2.8(b), TortoiseCorp III agrees to use reasonable best efforts to keep a registration statement and related prospectus (or multiple registration statements) that complies as to form and substance in all material respects with applicable SEC rules providing for the issuance of the maximum number of TortoiseCorp III Common Shares that could be issued with respect to the CSRs continuously effective (including the preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements necessary for that purpose) during any period that could reasonably be expected to include a CSR Maturity Date until the earlier of the date and time at which all Escrowed Shares have been issued to all Qualifying CSR Holders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or TortoiseCorp III determines that no Escrowed Shares are issuable with respect to all outstanding CSRs.


(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(a), TortoiseCorp III shall be entitled to postpone the effectiveness of any registration statement, and the issuance of any TortoiseCorp III Common Shares in connection with the issuance of the Escrowed Shares, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by TortoiseCorp III or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which such negotiation, consummation or event the Board of Directors reasonably believes, based upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by TortoiseCorp III in any such registration statement of material information that TortoiseCorp III has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in any such registration statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors, based upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause any such registration statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that TortoiseCorp III may not delay or suspend any registration statements on more than two occasions or for more than 60 consecutive calendar days, or more than 90 total calendar days, in each case during any 12-month period.

(c) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the CSRs on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Global Market, or another national securities exchange until this Agreement has been terminated.

(a) The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to TortoiseCorp III specifying a date when such resignation will take effect, which notice will be sent at least 60 days prior to the date so specified, but in no event will such resignation become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed. TortoiseCorp III has the right to remove the Rights Agent at any time by specifying a date when such removal will take effect, but no such removal will become effective until a successor Rights Agent (that is reasonably agreeable to TortoiseCorp III) has been appointed. Notice of such removal will be given by TortoiseCorp III to Rights Agent, which notice will be sent at least 60 days prior to the date so specified.

(b) If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or becomes incapable of acting, TortoiseCorp III will as soon as is reasonably possible appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent (which must be a Person reasonably agreeable to Jereme Kent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if TortoiseCorp III shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the incumbent Rights Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.

(c) TortoiseCorp III will give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent to the CSR Holders, which may be effected by any public filing or press release made or issued, as applicable, by TortoiseCorp III, or by any other means reasonably anticipated to provide notice thereof to the CSR Holders. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If TortoiseCorp III fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent in accordance with Section 3.4, the successor Rights Agent will cause the notice to be given at the expense of TortoiseCorp III.

3.4 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to TortoiseCorp III, Jereme Kent and the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent. On request of TortoiseCorp III or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent will execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Rights Agent.

be effected by any public filing or press release made or issued, as applicable, by TortoiseCorp III, or by any other means reasonably anticipated to provide notice thereof to the CSR Holders and the other applicable parties hereto; provided, that any failure to so notify the CSR Holders or any other party shall not affect the validity of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver.

4.3 Effect of Amendments. Upon the execution of any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver under this Article IV, this Agreement will be modified in accordance therewith, such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver will form a part of this Agreement for all purposes and every CSR Holder and party hereto will be bound thereby.

5.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, the CSRs and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Each party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 5.1 shall be effective service of process for any such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action.
