This TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [·], is hereby entered into by and among WL Ross Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), [TPG Unblocked Partnership], a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG Unblocked Partnership”), [TPG FOF Partnership], a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG FOF Partnership”), Nexeo Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New Holdco”), TPG VI AIV SLP SD, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG GP”), TPG VI DE BDH, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG Blocker Owner”) and the Agent.

RECITALS

The Parent Corporation, New Holdco, Nexeo Solutions Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings LLC”), Neon Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Blocker Merger Sub”), Neon Holding Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company Merger Sub”), and TPG Accolade Delaware, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG Blocker”) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 21, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Company Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Corporation, will merge with and into Holdings LLC (the “Holdings LLC Merger”). Pursuant to the Holdings LLC Merger, the Parent Corporation will acquire the Holdings LLC interests held by TPG GP, TPG Unblocked Partnership, TPG FOF Partnership and New Holdco, and the interests in Holdings LLC held by TPG Blocker will remain outstanding. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Holdings LLC Merger will be treated as a taxable acquisition by the Parent Corporation from TPG GP, TPG Unblocked Partnership, TPG FOF Partnership and New Holdco of their respective interests in Holdings LLC.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately following the Holdings LLC Merger, Blocker Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Corporation, will merge with and into TPG Blocker, an entity that has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “TPG Blocker Merger”). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the TPG Blocker Merger will be treated as a taxable acquisition by the Parent Corporation of the ownership interests in TPG Blocker from TPG Blocker Owner.

Following the TPG Blocker Merger and the Holdings LLC Merger, the Parent Corporation will be the sole member of TPG Blocker, and the Parent Corporation and TPG Blocker will together own all of the interests in Holdings LLC, which will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Holdings LLC is the sole shareholder of Nexeo Solutions Sub Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Sub Holding Corp”). Holdings LLC and Sub Holding Corp together hold all of the common units in Nexeo Solutions LLC (“Nexeo LLC”) and Sub Holding Corp holds all of the preferred units in Nexeo LLC.

Holdings LLC and each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries that is treated as a partnership (including Nexeo LLC) will have in effect for the taxable year that includes the Mergers an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Parties hereto are entering into this Agreement to set forth the agreements regarding the sharing of certain the Tax benefits realized by the Parent Corporation Group (as hereinafter defined).

Within sixty (60) calendar days after the filing of the Parent Corporation Return for a Taxable Year following the Taxable Year in which the Mergers are effected in which there arises additional Closing Date Basis or

Additional Basis, the Parent Corporation shall deliver to Agent a schedule (together with the Closing Date Attribute Schedule, the “Basis Schedule”) that shows, in reasonable detail necessary to perform the calculations required by this Agreement, (y) any additional Closing Date Basis and any Additional Basis and (z) the period (or periods) over which such Closing Date Basis and Additional Basis is amortizable and/or depreciable.

Section 2.2 Tax Benefit Schedule.

(a) Within sixty (60) calendar days after the filing of the Parent Corporation Return for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, the Parent Corporation shall provide to Agent: (i) a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year and the allocation of any Net Tax Benefit among the TRA Holders, which allocation shall be made in accordance with Schedule A (a “Tax Benefit Schedule”), (ii) the Parent Corporation Return, (iii) a reasonably detailed calculation by the Parent Corporation of the Hypothetical Tax Liability, (iv) a reasonably detailed calculation by the Parent Corporation of the Actual Tax Liability, and (v) any other work papers related thereto that are reasonably available to the Parent Corporation and requested by Agent. In addition, the Parent Corporation shall allow Agent reasonable access to the appropriate representatives of the Parent Corporation Group in connection with a review of such Tax Benefit Schedule. The Parent Corporation may use reasonable estimation methodologies for calculating the portion of any Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment attributable to U.S. state or local Taxes. The Tax Benefit Schedule will become final as provided in Section 2.3(a) and may be amended as provided in Section 2.3(b) (subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b)).

(b) For purposes of calculating the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for any Taxable Year, carryovers or carrybacks of any Designated Tax Attribute shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any Tax item includes a portion that is attributable to any Designated Tax Attribute and another portion that is not so attributable, such respective portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology. The parties agree that (i) any payment under this Agreement (to the extent permitted by law and other than amounts accounted for as Imputed Interest) will have the effect of creating Additional Basis in Reference Assets for the Parent Corporation Group in the year of payment to the extent that the payment is made to Non-Blocker Holders, and (ii) as a result, such Additional Basis will be incorporated into the calculation for the year of payment and into future year calculations, as appropriate.

Section 2.3 Procedure; Amendments.

(a) An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which Agent has received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless Agent (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving an applicable Schedule or amendment thereto, provides the Parent Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of any Objection Notice within the period described in

clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Parent Corporation. If the Parent Corporation and Agent, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in an Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Parent Corporation of such Objection Notice, the Parent Corporation and Agent shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

(b) The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year may be amended from time to time by the Parent Corporation (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified as a result of the receipt of additional factual information relating to a Taxable Year after the date the Schedule was provided to Agent, (iii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule as a result of a change in law or applicable rules or regulations (including, if applicable, any such change having retroactive effect), provided that any such amendment, to the extent applicable, must be consistent with the Tax Returns (including any amendments) of the Parent Corporation Group, (iv) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule as a result of a clerical or computational error in preparation of the Schedule, (v) to comply with the Expert’s determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (vi) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year, (vii) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year or (viii) to adjust a Basis Schedule to take into account payments made pursuant to this Agreement (any such Schedule, an “Amended Schedule”). The Parent Corporation shall provide an Amended Schedule to Agent within sixty (60) calendar days of the occurrence of an event referenced in clauses (i) through (viii) of the preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a Schedule is amended after such Schedule becomes final pursuant to Section 2.3(a), the Amended Schedule shall not be taken into account in calculating any Tax Benefit Payment in the Taxable Year to which the amendment relates but instead shall be taken into account in calculating the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit for the Taxable Year in which the amendment actually occurs.

ARTICLE III
TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

Section 3.1 Payments.

(a) Within five (5) Business Days after a Tax Benefit Schedule for a Taxable Year becomes final in accordance with Section 2.3(a), the Parent Corporation shall pay the Net Tax Benefit to the TRA Holders and the Accrued Amount with respect thereto.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to achieve these fundamental results.

Section 3.3 Pro Rata Payments. If for any reason the Parent Corporation does not fully satisfy its payment obligations to make all Tax Benefit Payments due under this Agreement in respect of a particular Taxable Year, then (i) the Parent Corporation will pay the same proportion of each Tax Benefit Payment due to each Person due a payment under this Agreement in respect of such Taxable Year, without favoring one obligation over the other, and (ii) no Tax Benefit Payment shall be made in respect of any Taxable Year until all Tax Benefit Payments in respect of prior Taxable Years have been made in full.

Upon payment of the Early Termination Payment by the Parent Corporation, the Parent Corporation shall not have any further payment obligations under this Agreement, other than for any Tax Benefit Payment previously due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Notice. Upon payment of all amounts provided for in this Section 4.1, this Agreement shall terminate.

Section 4.2 Breach of Agreement.

(a) In the event that the Parent Corporation breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and such breach is not cured by the Parent Corporation within thirty (30) days after notice is provided by the Agent, then if a majority of the TRA Holders so elect, such breach shall be treated as an Early Termination. Upon such election, all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated and such

(1) NTD: To be determined prior to the Closing Date in the sole discretion of the Agent.

obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such breach and shall include (i) the Early Termination Payment, calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of a breach and (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment previously due and payable but unpaid as of the date of a breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Parent Corporation breaches this Agreement, the TRA Holders shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof.

(b) The parties agree that the failure to make any payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due shall be deemed to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, and that it shall not be considered to be a breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within three (3) months of the date such payment is due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Parent Corporation fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due to the extent that the Parent Corporation has insufficient funds to make such payment; provided that the interest provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply to such late payment (unless the Parent Corporation does not have sufficient cash to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by existing credit agreements to which Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent Corporation is a party, in which case Section 5.2 shall apply, but the Default Rate shall be replaced by the Agreed Rate); provided further that it shall be a breach of this Agreement, and the provisions of Section 4.2(a) shall apply as of the original due date of the Tax Benefit Payment, if the Parent Corporation makes any distribution of cash or other property to its shareholders while any Tax Benefit Payment is due and payable but unpaid.

Section 4.3 Early Termination Notice. If the Parent Corporation chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1 above, the Parent Corporation shall deliver to Agent notice of such intention to exercise such right (the “Early Termination Notice”) and a schedule (the “Early Termination Schedule”) showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment; provided, that in the case of an Early Termination to which the last sentence of the definition of “Valuation Assumptions” applies, the Parent Corporation shall be required to consult with Agent in preparing the Early Termination Schedule in accordance with the last sentence of the definition of “Valuation Assumptions” prior to delivering such schedule to Agent pursuant to the first part of this sentence. The Early Termination Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which Agent has received such Schedule or amendment thereto unless Agent (i) within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Early Termination Schedule, provides the Parent Corporation with notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith (“Material Objection Notice”) or (ii) provides a written waiver of such right of a Material Objection Notice within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Parent Corporation (the “Early Termination Effective Date”). If the Parent Corporation and Agent, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in such notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Parent Corporation of the Material Objection Notice, the Parent Corporation and Agent shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

Section 4.4 Payment upon Early Termination.

(a) Subject to its right to withdraw any notice of Early Termination pursuant to Section 4.1, within five (5) Business Days after the Early Termination Effective Date, the Parent Corporation shall pay to each TRA Holder its Early Termination Payment. Each such payment shall be made by check, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the TRA Holder, or as otherwise agreed by the Parent Corporation and the TRA Holder.

(b) The “Early Termination Payment” shall equal, with respect to each TRA Holder, the present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Parent Corporation to such TRA Holder beginning from the Early Termination Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Tax Benefit Payment due and unpaid for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of the Early Termination Notice) and assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

ARTICLE V
SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

Section 5.1 Subordination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or any other payment required to be made by the Parent Corporation to any TRA Holder under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest or other amounts due and payable in respect of any secured obligations or obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Parent Corporation and its Subsidiaries (such obligations, “Senior Obligations”) and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of the Parent Corporation that are not Senior Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the above, the determination of whether it is a breach of this Agreement if the Parent Corporation fails to make any Tax Benefit Payment when due is governed by Section 4.2(a).

Section 5.2 Late Payments by the Parent Corporation. The amount of all or any portion of any Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or any other payment under this Agreement not made to any TRA Holder when due under the terms of this Agreement shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate (or, if so provided in Section 4.2(a), at the Agreed Rate) and commencing from the date on which such Tax Benefit Payment, Early Termination Payment or any other payment under this Agreement was due and payable.

ARTICLE VI
NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Corporation

shall notify Agent of, and keep Agent reasonably informed with respect to, the portion of any audit, examination, or any other administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Tax Proceeding”) of any member of the Parent Corporation Group by a Taxing Authority the outcome of which is reasonably expected to affect the rights and obligations of the TRA Holders under this Agreement, and shall provide to Agent reasonable opportunity to provide information and other input to the members of the Parent Corporation Group and their respective advisors concerning the conduct of any such portion of such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that the Parent Corporation Group shall not be required to take any action that is inconsistent with any provision of the Nexeo LLC Agreement.

Section 6.2 Consistency.

If the Parent Corporation and any TRA Holder, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the any disagreement concerning such treatment within thirty (30) calendar days, the Parent Corporation and such TRA Holder shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures.

Section 6.3 Cooperation. Each TRA Holder shall (i) furnish to the Parent Corporation in a timely manner such information, documents and other materials as the Parent Corporation may reasonably request for purposes of making any determination or computation necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, preparing any Tax Return or contesting or defending any Tax Proceeding (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any information, documents or materials relating to the owners of a TRA Holder), (ii) make itself available to the Parent Corporation and its representatives to provide explanations of the documents and materials and such other information as the Parent Corporation or its representatives may reasonably request in connection with any of the matters described in clause (i) above, and (iii) reasonably cooperate in connection with any such matter.

Section 7.6 Successors; Assignment.

(a) Following a written consent of the Parent Corporation (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) a TRA Holder may assign this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the Parent Corporation as long as such transferee executes and delivers a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Corporation, agreeing to become a “Non-Blocker Holder” or “Blocker Holder” (in accordance with the status of the transferee as a Non-Blocker Holder or Blocker Holder) for all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in such joinder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that immediately following the Blocker Merger, it is contemplated that TPG Blocker Owner will contribute its rights under this Agreement to TPG Blocker Partnership and that TPG GP will contribute its rights under this Agreement to TPG Blocker Partnership (through Blocked AIV and Blocker Owner), and that, in connection with that/such contributions, (i) Parent Corporation consent shall not be required and TPG Blocker Partnership shall not be required to execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement, (ii) TPG GP shall cease to be a Non-Blocker Holder as of the time of the contribution and TPG Blocker Partnership shall be a Non-Blocker Holder as the successor of TPG GP, and (iii) TPG Blocker Owner shall cease to be a Blocker Holder as of the time of the contribution and TPG Blocker Partnership shall be a Blocker Holder as the successor of TPG Blocker Owner. Any and all payments payable or that may become payable to a TRA Holder pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned to any Person or Persons as long as any such Person executes and delivers a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Corporation, agreeing to be bound by Section 7.13 and acknowledging specifically the terms of Section 7.6(b).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6, no assignee described in the third sentence of Section 7.6(a) shall have any rights under this Agreement except for the right to enforce its right to receive payments under this Agreement.

(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Parent Corporation shall cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Parent Corporation, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Parent Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

Section 7.7 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by each of the Parent Corporation and by the TRA Holders who would be entitled to receive a majority of the Early Termination Payments payable to all TRA Holders hereunder as of the date of the proposed amendment (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, all payments made to any TRA Holder pursuant to this Agreement as of the date of the proposed amendment); provided, however, that no such

amendment shall be effective if such amendment would have a disproportionate effect on the payments certain TRA Holders will or may receive under this Agreement unless all such disproportionately affected TRA Holders consent in writing to such amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

Section 7.8 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

Section 7.9 Resolution of Disputes.

(a) Any and all disputes which are not governed by Section 7.10, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this Section 7.9 and Section 7.10) (each a “Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 7.9. The parties hereto shall attempt in good faith to resolve all Disputes by negotiation. If a Dispute between the parties hereto cannot be resolved in such manner, such Dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in the State of Delaware in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the Dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer admitted to the practice of law in the State of Delaware and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitrator shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitrator is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute. The award shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.9(a), the Parent Corporation may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, and/or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this Section 7.9(b), Agent and each TRA Holder (i) expressly consents to the application of Section 7.9(c) to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Parent Corporation as agent of such party for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such party in writing of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding.

(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN DELAWARE, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 7.9, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the fora designated by this Section 7.9(c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement, and to the parties’ relationship with one another.

(d) The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in Section 7.9(c) and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

Section 7.10 Reconciliation. In the event that the Parent Corporation and Agent (with respect to matters governed by the definition of “Valuation Assumptions”, Section 2.3 and Section 4.3) or any TRA Holder (with respect to matters governed by Section 6.2) (as applicable, the “Disputing Party”) are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to such matters within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted to the Expert. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and unless the Parent Corporation and the Disputing Party agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Parent Corporation or the Disputing Party or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Exchange Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution; provided that in resolving any matter, the Expert shall not require the Parent Corporation or any Affiliate thereof to take a position, or to make any payment based on a position, that is not “more likely than not” to be sustained. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Parent Corporation, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The Parent Corporation and the Disputing Party shall each bear its own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert adopts such Disputing Party’s position, in which case the Parent Corporation shall reimburse such Disputing Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert adopts the Parent Corporation’s position, in which case such Disputing Party shall reimburse the Parent Corporation for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this

Section 7.10 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be binding on the Parent Corporation and its Subsidiaries and the Disputing Party and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 7.11 Withholding. The Parent Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Parent Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Parent Corporation, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the relevant TRA Holder.

Section 7.12 Admission of the Parent Corporation into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.

(a) If the Parent Corporation becomes a member of an affiliated or consolidated group of corporations that files a consolidated income Tax Return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of U.S. state or local Tax law, then: (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the group as a whole; and (ii) Tax Benefit Payments, Early Termination Payments and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole to the extent that any applicable Designated Tax Attributes can be used against such consolidated taxable income of the group as a whole.

(b) If the Parent Corporation (or any other entity that is obligated to make a Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment hereunder) or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries (a “Transferor”) transfers one or more Reference Assets to a corporation (or a Person classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) with which the Transferor does not file a consolidated Tax Return pursuant to Section 1501 of the Code, the Transferor, for purposes of calculating the amount of any Tax Benefit Payment or Early Termination Payment (e.g., calculating the gross income of the entity and determining the Realized Tax Benefit of such entity) due hereunder, shall be treated as having disposed of such Reference Assets in a fully taxable transaction on the date of such contribution. The consideration deemed to be received by the Transferor shall be equal to the fair market value of the transferred Reference Assets, plus (i) the amount of debt to which any such Reference Asset is subject, in the case of a transfer of an encumbered Reference Asset or (ii) the amount of debt allocated to any such Reference Asset, in the case of a contribution of a partnership interest. For purposes of this Section 7.12(b), a transfer of a partnership interest shall be treated as a transfer of the Transferor’s share of each of the assets and liabilities of that partnership.

Section 7.13 Confidentiality.

(a) Agent and each of its assignees and each TRA Holder and each of its assignees acknowledges and agrees that the information of the Parent Corporation Group is confidential and, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Parent Corporation Group and its Affiliates, as required by law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement,

such person shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters, acquired pursuant to this Agreement, of the Parent Corporation Group and its Affiliates and successors or the TRA Holders, learned by Agent or TRA Holder heretofore or hereafter. This Section 7.13 shall not apply to (i) any information that has been made publicly available by the Parent Corporation or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of an Agent or a TRA Holder in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community and (ii) the disclosure of information (A) as may be proper in the course of performing such TRA Holder’s obligations, or monitoring or enforcing such TRA Holder’s rights, under this Agreement, (B) as part of such TRA Holder’s normal reporting, rating or review procedure (including normal credit rating and pricing process), or in connection with such TRA Holder’s or such TRA Holder’s Affiliates’ normal fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities, or to such TRA Holder’s (or any of its Affiliates’) Affiliates, auditors, accountants, attorneys or other agents, (C) to any bona fide prospective assignee of such TRA Holder’s rights under this Agreement, or prospective merger or other business combination partner of such TRA Holder, provided that such assignee or merger partner agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 7.13, (D) as is required to be disclosed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative body or governmental body, or by subpoena, summons or legal process, or by law, rule or regulation; provided that any TRA Holder required to make any such disclosure to the extent legally permissible shall provide the Parent Corporation prompt notice of such disclosure, or to regulatory authorities or similar examiners conducting regulatory reviews or examinations (without any such notice to the Parent Corporation), or (E) to the extent necessary for a TRA Holder to prepare and file its Tax Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any Tax Proceeding with respect to such returns.

(b) If Agent or an assignee or a TRA Holder or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.13, the Parent Corporation shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.13 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Parent Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or the TRA Holders and the accounts and funds managed by the Parent Corporation and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
